After the iPhone 4 conference ended, it caused an uproar around the world.

Countless people are shocked that a mobile phone can be so cool. It is already a complete "handheld computer" that can meet the needs of social networking, office work, entertainment, games, etc. at the same time. It feels like Nokia, Motorola and other brands in their hands suddenly feel like a mobile phone. It doesn't smell good anymore.

Especially the Symbian operating system that Nokia is proud of.

The gap between it and the iOS operating system is as big as that of a kindergarten student to a doctoral student. It seems like something from two eras.

As a result, after the press conference, the stock prices of many mobile phone manufacturers plummeted rapidly, while correspondingly, the value of a number of Internet companies rose sharply.

In the future, users will be able to use a batch of software through their smartphones anytime and anywhere, which will expand the market of these Internet companies and help increase revenue and user scale.

Suri can clearly feel that the cards are being reshuffled from the changes in the securities trading market.

The many assets held by him and his parents finally broke through the ceiling again and ushered in another new opportunity.

There is no need to worry about financial management.

On the S Automobile Company side, how to reduce manufacturing costs has always been a problem that troubles many engineers.

Before leaving San Francisco, Suri had a special meeting with the person in charge. He only told him that when the production volume increased, there would be an opportunity to reduce costs, and there was no need to consider the manufacturing costs in the United States. Setting up a factory on the other side of the ocean could reduce a lot of expenses.

When the cost is reduced to an acceptable level, it will not be too late to consider setting up a factory in the United States to meet the sales needs of North America.

The difference between electric vehicles and traditional fuel vehicles is like the difference between e-donkeys and motorcycles. Some consumers value mileage, while others only need daily transportation in the city.

However, eMules are cheap, and many domestic cities ban motorcycles, so there is room for development.

In the field of electric vehicles, consumers are currently paying higher prices, and people can only buy electric vehicles with shorter battery life. Except for some consumers who like to try new products and pay attention to environmental protection, sales in the next few years are destined to be limited.

Su Rui, who was already prepared for losses, had a lot of money to burn. When faced with a group of institutional representatives who came to inspect the company, he meant not to accept financing in the short term to avoid releasing the chips in his hands prematurely at a low price.

Anyway, it will be difficult for other competitors to rise up and overtake them in the short term. It will be more beneficial to him to consider releasing part of his shares when he can no longer hold on.

Look around.

If you want S electric cars to rise, you still have to wait for the launch of an affordable car that can be widely accepted. Similar to the Model 3, which sells for 30,000 to 40,000 US dollars, it has many advantages compared with fuel vehicles.

Only when the product prices are lowered one day in the future can S Electric Vehicle Company be truly widely accepted.

…

Lanai.

Take a flight from San Francisco Airport and land at Maui Airport.

When Suri boarded the dock on the yacht and set foot on the land belonging to Lanai Island, the sunset was covering the sky, dyeing the sea in the distance a beautiful pink.

Next to Hulopu Beach, the most beautiful beach in the area, a total of 60 Hawaiian-style water houses were built, showing an "S" shape.

Next to the beach on the other side of the island, there are also 36 similar water houses, combined with sand houses on the land, where you can enjoy the original coconut grove.

The roof is paved with thatch, and each room has a slide leading directly to the sea. There is also a tempered glass floor on the small terrace where you can see fish on the seabed. It has become an artificial landscape in itself, and the photos you take are particularly impressive.

Secretary Amanda just learned that Suri plans to take out some land this time to develop and build villas and apartments to attract some residents to settle here.

She told now:

"I have already spent a lot of money investing in new hotels and retirement resorts. I don't know when the cost will be recovered. If the island has a large population and the noise will affect the mood of tourists, I think it would be better to study it again. Avoid overexploitation.”

Suri put his hands in his pockets, walked forward along the path leading to the hotel, shook his head and said:

"There are so many undeveloped islands around the world, but no one cares about them at ordinary times. It can be seen that fun is far more important than whether to retain the original landscape. Lanai Island is so large, there are still some reserves, and the natural scenery has been Enough, because I invested a lot of money, I want to develop real estate and try to recover some capital."

"The problem is the lack of job opportunities on the island. Except for the elderly who need to take care of themselves, and the rich who have too much money to spend and want to buy a house for vacation and live in, it is difficult to sell these properties to anyone else."

"So I will only develop a small piece of land in the initial stage and build twenty or thirty villas, plus a hundred apartments..."

Not far away, you can already see the Four Seasons Hotel Lanai.

Suri continued to add: "When the new hotel is built, the old hotel can be upgraded and renovated. Occasionally I see photos taken by tourists on the Internet, which have no sense of refinement."

The total investment in the whale-shaped, internet-famous new hotel with swimming pools, and retirement resort community adds up to approximately US$260 million.

If Lanai is regarded as a company, these investments are aimed at opening up new profit growth points and will help increase the overall value of Lanai.

When Suri first came here in 2008, Lanai was only worth about US$400 million. Now that the tourism industry has grown and the ranch has relatively stable income, the overall value can reach almost US$1 billion.

I'm a little hungry, so I'll go to the hotel to eat first.

I met some tourists on the road. Many young people were so excited that they screamed. They had not heard any news in advance and came to ask for autographs and photos.

Since Suri does not live permanently on the island, whether tourists can meet him depends on their luck. When the news of his return to the island spreads, the number of tourists will always increase a lot.

Lanai with Suri and Lanai without Suri have completely different attractions for some tourists.

Many fans come to hang out and see the stars, which makes Lanai stand out among the many islands in Hawaii.

In the evening, a huge pot of beef rice was ready to be cooked.

The chef in charge of cooking took away the charcoal, leaving only some red charcoal fire to keep warm.

Surui wanted more beef and less rice. He found an open-air table and sat there. When he smelled the aroma, his appetite was whetted.

The giant pot rice still tastes the same as before, but as the summer tourist season approaches, there are many tourists on the island.

In order to be able to take photos with him, these tourists often formed groups and came to disturb him. During the meal, they were talked to again and again, which greatly affected the dining experience.

This is why whenever the peak season comes, Suri is reluctant to come back.

Like many tourists, he came back for a vacation and was often disturbed by strangers. He felt fine at first, but after too many times, he would inevitably become a little irritated.

During the meal, chat with the Kona manager about what’s happening on the island.

For example, there is a newly built tuna seine breeding attraction, and lucky tourists can find a big pearl while snorkeling.

When they returned to the mansion on Lanai Island, Daju, who had been back for more than two months, ran up to him with a "wow" and rubbed his big head on Suri's legs... (End of this chapter)
