"Boss, the fruit company even tried to make mobile phones. They thought that if they could make computers, they would definitely make mobile phones?" Xu Lihua was disdainful at this time, but did not find that Liu Chuanzhi's face was very ugly.
Jiang wanmeng said: "it's no problem to make mobile phones for computers. Relying on the advantages of brands, developing diversified businesses is one of the development directions of large companies. But they do not have enough information, allies and technical support. It's not like we even think about the group, taking advantage of the time, the place and the people. "
Xu Lihua also knew that he was speechless and smiled at Liu Chuanzhi in embarrassment. Liu Chuanzhi is also the CEO of Taihua holdings. He is his boss.
Even the group has its own mobile phones, function machines and smart phones. Although they are generally sold, they also have profits.
"It doesn't matter. Ralph is already learning from America that the iPhone of fruit is not as good as they think. Although they have strengthened the memory, but the function is deficient, compared with the wind and rain intelligent machine, there is still a gap. " Liu Chuanzhi said.
In the smart phone market of the US, the two biggest competitors were black Mei and Motorola. As for other mobile phone brands, there was no concern at all.
But now the fruit company has stepped in and is said to have some technical support from IBM, which is likely to take a large part of the market.
Since the transformation of IBM to focus on software, the fruit company's hardware and software control mode is the only large PC enterprise. Although the Lianxiang group also has shares in Lianxiang Yinshan, it is still fundamentally different to operate independently.
This time, the same is true for mobile phones. Both hardware and software are developed and produced by fruit companies themselves. It is inevitable that their software will optimize the hardware, which is an advantage.
Of course, this is also a disadvantage, that is, it will cause their R & D cost to be too high, once the sales performance is not ideal, it is difficult to recover the cost.
Feng Yu and others have said something about it, so he said calmly: "everyone looks up to the fruit company too much. They cooperated with Motorola to produce mobile phones before, which will save the street. This time, they will succeed without Motorola?"
"You know the performance parameters and design concept of their mobile phones. Do you really think they will be popular with consumers? The simple combination of iPod and mobile phone, plus a little PDA function, is a smart phone? "
"They are on the road of black Mei. They develop their own systems, develop their own applications, and then try to earn money by downloading and installing them for a fee. But don't forget that black Mei is not our competitor now."
"They copy the path of a loser. Do you really think they can succeed? Their mobile phones are not cost-effective at all, nor do they capture the selling points of consumers at all. "
"Perhaps their only advantage is that the brand is not bad, there are a number of loyal fans. But we have seen the development of electronic products in zuoni. What can loyalty powder do? As long as the products are not good, the fans will leave them in the end! "
In the past, iPhone really began to sell well only when it was 4, and then 4S made a lot of money again, but the previous mobile phone and fruit company didn't make any money at all.
The design of 4, only one button is made below, and all the other touch-screen designs looked very novel at that time, but now there are only three buttons under the wind and rain intelligent machine, and the appearance design of one button has already been completed.
The development of intelligent machines in the past is not so fast. The development concept of fruit company at that time was very novel and ahead of time. But now, fruit company can only pick up the leftovers behind.
And at this time, the fruit company is far less powerful than before. In the past, the fruit company's iPod also made a high profit. Although the price performance ratio was not high, but the appearance was beautiful. In addition, their website platform did well, and their promotion was also very good, which made them become the best-selling products, and even once became the noble in MP3.
But in this world, the best MP3 player is recognized as Aiwa, and iPod can only be said to be OK. As for the music platform, Aiwa has its own, Amazon, QianDu music, OQ music and other multi platform support, and the price is more reasonable, which has long become the industry standard.
single AIWA and Huaxia MP3 production and sales, it occupies more than half of the world, this industry, Feng Yu has the final say.
The computers of fruit company, especially the personal computers, are not as good as those of previous generations. Feng Yu took out many designs in advance, improved the sense of technology of even thinking about computers, and made the fruit company unable to be the leader of technology. Naturally, there will not be so many fans.
Moreover, the PC business of Cheney company in North America has also been catching up with IBM's PC business. With the efforts of Daier, Huipu and other manufacturers, the fruit company still has a lot of profits, but it is far higher than the previous one.
At one time, their PC system emphasized a fast, rapid rise in the era of Microsoft Vista's slow, but in this era, with even think of Yinshan's XOS, it's cheaper and easier to use, making the reputation of fruit company not too loud at all.
But even so, the market value of fruit companies has grown a lot over the years, and now it has reached 50 billion dollars. But according to Feng Yu, the share price is inflated.Because of the good global economy in the past two years, the stock price of listed companies, especially technology companies, has always grown faster. Look at the profits of fruit companies. Their net profits last year were only $1.5 billion.
Just like Microsoft, its annual profit is tens of billions of dollars, and its market value can soar to 600 billion dollars. However, if it is scaled down, it can be seen that its profit and market value are better than that of fruit company. Later, Microsoft's peak market value has been proved to be unreasonably high.
The market value of a listed company can only show the investors' trust in it, not necessarily its profitability. Otherwise, there won't be so many companies with market value of hundreds of billions of dollars in history, resulting in huge losses.
As long as you can fool investors, the market value of your company will not fall. The interests of shareholders can also be protected.
"Don't worry, everyone. Let's not rush to launch a new generation of smart phones. As I said, our next launch should be a 3G mobile phone, named stormy S3G, which is still slightly upgraded with the third generation technology. As for now, we don't need to upgrade any of our hardware at all. We just need to keep updating our software. "
"Our current hardware can meet the needs of users. Instead, as the cost of electronic components declines, we should be ready to adjust the price of our products. Also, perhaps our value-added machine will usher in a best-selling period. "
