Reinventing the Millennium

Chapter 214 Northern Hemisphere?No, global!

October 10, how later generations used to describe this day.

If Fang Zhuo remembers correctly, he has vaguely seen Jobs' evaluation of changing the history of digital music development.

Ipod is by no means the first music player to support mp3 format. Fang Zhuo once thought so, until he found out and bought 3 players with different features that really supported mp3.

But the Ipod is definitely the most influential. It once became a cultural phenomenon, and was even used as a meeting gift between national leaders.

"elder brother."

"President Fang, what are you thinking?"

At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhao Suqi followed his brother downstairs and came back after eating, and saw that he was always distracted.

"Oh, it's nothing, just think about something small." Fang Zhuo shook his head.

Zhao Suqi said strangely: "Brother, your mind started to wander in the afternoon."

"Is there?" Fang Zhuo stretched his waist, "I was just thinking about how to defend."

"Defense? Isn't M1 the best in the northern hemisphere?" Zhao Suqi was even more surprised. As far as publicity is concerned, the best music player in the northern hemisphere is quite loud.

Fang Zhuo said: "Qiqi, a successful leader must be prepared for danger in times of peace, must always be alert to the development of the times, and must have a confident and humble attitude, so as to maintain long-term motivation. "

Zhao Suqi nodded ignorantly, very convinced.

The two chatted one after another, but just as Fang Zhuo casually clicked the page refresh, Apple's website suddenly updated the product information.

Obviously the time is not yet 07:30...

Fang Zhuo froze for a moment, complained in his heart, and focused on the product parameters of his competitors.

"The volume is about the same, hey, the weight is actually heavier than the M1."

"Well, white... the design is somewhat similar, but the buttons are different."

"Fuck, why is its transmission speed so fast?"

Fang Zhuo was shocked. There was a description on the page that the transmission time of ten songs was almost ten seconds. In other words, a song was basically transmitted in one second, while the M1 took one minute. obviously.

He stared at the parameter information on the webpage, subconsciously grabbed the phone and dialed the product director Xu Keden.

The phone didn't get through.

Fang Zhuo put down the phone and muttered to himself: "Why are Apple's so fast? Why are they so fast?"

The hardware foundation of music players is similar, and Yike is looking for parts on a global scale. Even if there is better technology, it should belong to the category that has not been mass-produced.

Perhaps, where is the technological breakthrough commercialized?

Fang Zhuo is in a very bad mood. The transmission speed is the most intuitive experience for users, which will greatly affect the positioning of M1. Although the price of Ipod will definitely be more expensive, the price of M1 is already so high that users feel uncomfortable. There should be such a big gap in the high end.

While thinking, he refreshed the webpage casually.

Soon, Apple's information continued to be updated, and the price of the Ipod also came out, which was $399, which is about 3300 Huaxia coins.

M1 is 2899, and the gap between the two is 400 yuan.

Fang Zhuo believes that the cost of IPOD parts will not be higher than his own, that is to say, the profit margin reserved by the other party is larger.

Price war?mid lower end?
Fang Zhuo thought about the situation facing M1, and unconsciously stared at the computer screen in front of him.

I don't know if Apple's claimed Ipod transmission speed has moisture...

He sighed and found it very tricky. If it’s okay to talk about other aspects, but it’s the characteristic of transmission speed that can be most intuitively felt by users, then he can only consider trying not to publicize this.

It is always inevitable to use word of mouth, especially now in the Internet age that is gradually developing.

Fang Zhuo considered the publicity strategy, and his eyes gradually focused. Suddenly, he saw the instructions for using the Ipod on the webpage. The music transmission uses FireWire technology to transfer the songs in the MAC to the Ipod.

Mac?

Apple's own computers?
An idea came to Fang Zhuo's mind. He swiped the page with the mouse and searched for the main points of his guess in the full screen of English. Why is it so fast?

Mac, Mac, Mac...

There is no mention of Windows throughout!

No way, no way, Ipod will not support Windows, right?
Fang Zhuo's expression was very strange, he suppressed his uncertain surprise, and repeatedly searched for detailed explanations in Apple's official website description. However, it seemed that the newly launched iPod did not support Windows, the most mainstream computer system.

Microsoft's Windows is undoubtedly the overlord of computer systems, with users all over the world.

Ipod why not support it?
Fang Zhuo thought calmly for 2 minutes. Could Jobs have predicted that this music player would achieve such a great success?
At present, Apple's business is definitely Mac computers. So, the emergence of Ipod is to enrich the use ecology of Mac?
The later Ipods must support Windows, because Fang Zhuo once used its software store, but the first-generation Ipods are probably still conservatively considering the ecology of their own computers.

As for the follow-up changes... Commercial companies will not struggle with money.

Fang Zhuo took a few deep breaths, and finally went through the product information on Apple's official website. It needs to be more clearly confirmed that it does not support Microsoft systems, but it is already a high probability event.

"Brother, how long do you think it will take for the best M1 in the northern hemisphere to meet domestic competitors?" Zhao Suqi asked while flipping through the book.

Fang Zhuo shook his head slightly: "Northern hemisphere? What northern hemisphere?"

Zhao Suqi looked up suspiciously: "?"

Fang Zhuo said: "M1 is the best music player in the world!"

Zhao Suqi: "Huh??"

She said in amazement: "Brother, be prepared for danger in times of peace? Confident and humble? Long-term motivation?"

"The long-term motivation is to walk in the front and let others catch up behind." Fang Zhuo said while picking up the phone and preparing to make an international long distance call. He wanted to personally confirm a short-term mistake made by the other party.

Beep, beep, beep, beep.

At this time in the United States, it is daytime working hours.

As soon as the call was connected, Fang Zhuo asked in fairly fluent English: "Hi, hello, I saw your new product, but I have a question, does it only support Mac system, does it not support Windows?"

The next sentence, this question has a clear answer, not supported!

Fang Zhuo said thanks, hung up the phone, and immediately called Su Wei who was interviewing talents for the company: "Mr. Su, you contact CCTV, no, not only there, from now on, all the advertising slogans we put up Amend one sentence."

"No longer using the best music player in the northern hemisphere."

"M1 is the best music player in the world."

"Yes, yes, just change it like this, no problem."

Fang Zhuo hung up again, thought for a second, and called the administrative assistant who hadn't been transferred yet: "Xiao Yuan, I will make an appointment with someone from the office tomorrow to inquire about the registration of a company in the United States, in the morning."

Zhao Suqi stared blankly at her brother suddenly entering the working mode, and still didn't understand what happened for a while, as if the M1 was upgraded in the blink of an eye?

The world's best music player?
really?
Zhao Suqi shifted his gaze to the computer. My brother said a lot of worries about the competitor's press conference. This has already been released, and it all depends on the peers?

　The third update has written half a chapter, and I took the time in the morning to complete the update.
