Chapter 1680

In China, doggie egg, a nickname that Lin Su initially hated because of Chen Qing and later gradually acquiesced to because of some little superstitions, is the third birthday of the little guy. It is August 11 in the lunar calendar and September 8 in the Gregorian calendar.

According to the habit of Westerners, the public birthday of little simonwestero is September 12.

Coincidentally, this day happens to be the Mid Autumn Festival of the Chinese lunar calendar.

This time, a woman on the other side of the ocean apparently thought carefully and deliberately arranged a video call with Simon on this day, pretending to talk about it unintentionally.

It looks very sad.

Simon could only guarantee that the time would pass, and also motioned that his mother and son could fly to the United States when they were free.

In addition, I listened to the little guy across the street recite Xin Qiji's "jade case · flowers in the east wind night" in a childish voice. I felt again that my 14th child could recite it unconsciously.

Time.

In North America, Forbes released the latest annual list of the 400 richest people in the United States this week. Simonwestero, who is the most concerned and numb, is still in the integer position of $3trillion.

In fact, the time when Forbes released the rich list was also through communication with this side.

The U.S. general election in 2000 has entered the second half of the period. Despite the wide range of congressmen, the most watched presidential election is approaching. With the voting day approaching, George W. Bush, who was obviously thrown away, is gradually catching up with Al Gore. It can be said that the two are inseparable.

The election of politicians is endless. It is conceivable that if the list of Forbes is released later in October, it will inevitably become a topic of discussion in the sprint stage of the election. Even if the corresponding topic is likely to be very beneficial to George W. Bush, who is secretly supported by the Westeros system, Simon still has no intention of being targeted for votes.

Again, once a target is found to be too effective, politicians are bound to become addicted.

Simon can't give these people any chance.

Last week, due to a communique after Pfizer completed the merger of Warner Lambert, the NASDAQ index reached a new high, which led to the birth of the first trillion market value enterprise, igrit. At the same time, Simon's latest $3trillion of personal assets has been a wave of speculation.

Now, only a week later, the same number still exists, and the public opinion response is relatively flat.

In a word, Forbes chose this time point to release the list, which was originally the reason for considering the autumn new product launch of tincorbair this weekend.

In recent years, every press conference of tincorbair has been able to drive a wave of waves in the technology stock market. The original plan was that the Forbes list first brought a wave of public opinion, and then the attention caused by tincorbair's press conference took over. After all, it is likely to be the time node for the birth of the first trillion market value enterprise. It has been so busy for a while, and it has returned to silence.

I didn't expect that the plan could not keep up with the change.

Fortunately, it is not an unacceptable change.

With such excitement, the Saturday of September 16 will soon come, and tinco Bayer officially held the autumn new product launch of 2000.

A routine update, but there are also some highlights.

The main product of this new autumn product is the ipad-40. It has been the fourth generation since 1997.

Timbel combines the technology accumulation from the newtonpad that Apple took over at the beginning and its own software and hardware. From the initial ipad-10 to this ipad-40, the change is not big.

The original black-and-white screen has been replaced by the second-generation color screen of this year. After the photo taking function was added last year, this year's ipad-40 also added WiFi networking function again. At the same time, the interaction between the latest ipad-40 and other series of iPlayer, ICAM and IREC products of tinco Bayer has also been strengthened.

Now that the Internet has been connected, at the invitation of tingkbaier, Internet companies such as igrit have customized a batch of Internet software for this new ipad-40, involving Internet browsing, e-mail, online bookstore, entertainment games and other aspects.

It can be said that compared with later tablet computer products, this time, there is a software store that attracts developers.

The main reason why we haven't reached this stage is that the functions of iPad products are still far less powerful than later, and their own performance can't bear the influx of a large number of developers. Therefore, the first consideration of the development team is to customize the software by familiar partners to ensure the smoothness and stability of their own system and attached software.

As for the price, compared with the $799 of the first generation ipad-10, this time the price of the ipad-40 rose again to $899 after a rise last year.

The cumulative price increase is $100.

At present, the price of electronic products with personal computers as the mainstream is becoming cheaper and cheaper. The price of ipad-40 has risen against the trend for two consecutive years, which means risking universal condemnation.

However, it is still the result of careful weighing by tinkobair.

Simon also expressed his approval.

First of all, it is mainly to protect the existing product line of tinco Bayer.

You know, the latest generation of ipad-40, with color screen, photographing and networking, can be said to integrate the functions of three trumps, iPlayer, ICAM and IREC under tinco Bayer. Even compared with each other, the latter three have either price advantages or functional advantages. However, it is undeniable that an ipad-40 is enough for those users who do not have so strict requirements on product parameter details.

Therefore, if the price of the ipad-10 does not rise, but falls, it will undoubtedly have a disastrous impact on several other product lines.

On this point, Simon has long adhered to a theory that he will either eliminate himself or be eliminated by others.

From feature phones to smart phones, Nokia, once the world's largest mobile phone giant, collapsed in just a few years.

Well, according to this theory, Simon should actually promote the iPad series to replace the iPlayer and other products.

However, there are so many things that it is easier to know than to do.

In the previous fiscal year of 1999, the total shipment of the three major series reached 160million units, accounting for 69% of the revenue of tinco Bayer. Although the iPad series is very popular, it only accounts for 8% of the revenue of tinco Bayer. But in this comparison, who can give up 69% for 8%?

Of course, Simon is not without a decision.

Simon never gave up a certain theory. However, after the general assessment, Simon felt that it was not a problem to appropriately delay for twoorthree years.

This is mainly because the current performance of the iPad series is still unsatisfactory compared with the previous tablet computers.

In the next twoorthree years, the technology will be updated and iterated in all aspects, with more powerful functions, at least reaching the level that developers can be introduced into the open platform, opening up software stores and building their own software ecosystem. At that time, it will be more suitable to complete the replacement of other series of products.

Now, the timing is not quite right.

Secondly, the cost is also a key point.

It is reasonable to say that with the rapid development of various technologies of electronic products, the comprehensive cost of iPad series should be reduced. However, it took only four years to complete the leap from black-and-white to color screen to photographing and networking. In order to maintain the excellent performance of the product, Tinkerbell not only failed to compress the cost, but actually the cost increased.

This is why Simon is not in a hurry to eliminate himself.

Tinco Bayer's cost control of iPad series is based on the current performance, which is quite excellent, if not extreme. Therefore, Simon is not worried that other manufacturers will be able to overtake Tinkerbell in the curve with similar products.

Whether Microsoft or Sony, even if they have launched corresponding products in recent years, in fact, they can't.

Because each has its own shortcomings.

Microsoft's short board is hardware, Sony's short board is software, and both have a short board at the same time, that is, network. Therefore, within a reasonable cost range, other software and hardware giants are doomed to be unable to pose a threat to tincobier on the same product in the short term.

As for small start-ups that are flexible, there is no hope.

Very simply, the seemingly small 7-inch iPad series is actually a huge project involving software, hardware and other systems. Among them, the operating system is the only one, which combines the years' accumulation of Tinkerbell and apple. Is it possible for a small company to let a super giant like igrit help customize various software based on the operating system platform?

Dream.

Therefore, this is not a DVD with simple structure. You can buy core components and assemble them in a random venue.

In a word, tinkobair has absolutely no need to rush out of his own leading edge. Of course, in any case, after twoorthree years, we will start to promote self elimination.

Moreover, in 2005, Simon planned a general time point very early, and the era of smart phones and mobile Internet will also come ahead of schedule.

At that time, Simon will also have certain plans for various products of tincorbel.

The current iBerry series will jump to the iPhone series, a terminal, and realize all replacement.

The current ICAM and IREC series will be more professional, more detailed and high-end, so as to distinguish them from the corresponding functions of the iPhone.

The current iPlayer series, unfortunately, is destined to be phased out.

The current iPad series is moving from the popular 7-inch screen to a large screen with about 10 inch screen. It will be different from the future small screen iPhone series to the greatest extent. In addition, the price of the iPad series will be gradually reduced. It will achieve a certain degree of monopoly through the price advantage, so that other similar products in the same industry will lose their living space and achieve monopoly.

……

Through the huge public opinion resources controlled by Westeros system, the autumn press conference of tincobier, after the launch of the latest ipad-40, once again set off a discussion upsurge as if a new scientific and technological revolution had taken place.

However, at the capital market level, it has been doping since the beginning of the month. This time, although the NASDAQ jumped more than 1 percentage point again on the last Monday, the public opinion level is no longer so enthusiastic.

This is what Simon needs.

As a show of support for his women, Simon also attended the autumn Conference on Saturday before and returned to Los Angeles on Monday.

At the same time, at the beginning of the new week, it is worth mentioning that CNOOC on the other side of the ocean officially opened another IPO roadshow. The planned listing time is October 6.

This time, there will be no suspense.

Not to mention the low price of clearance sale, Westeros also directly signed an underwriting agreement. Probably, not only did we subscribe in large amounts in advance, but we also promised that if we couldn't sell them, we would cover them all. In fact, with the current frenzy in the North American financial market, it is not easy for this IPO to fail.

The results are also expected.

The global roadshow planned for two weeks only took three days, and the number of subscriptions has reached the international placement share of the planned issuance. It is expected that the final total number of subscriptions will reach three to five times of the planned issuance.

Simon didn't show much attitude towards the IPO.

Based on Simon's understanding of the global energy industry in the next ten years, if he really lets go of his actions and IPO, his family will be able to cover the bill.

A sure business.

But of course not.

Being on the pole is not a business, but a cheap one. After all, people will gain an inch. It's a big deal. In addition to this public subscription, we can absorb more privately in the future.

In contrast, Simon pays more attention to another IPO case that is rapidly advancing.

Xiangshan network.

After getting the permission from her boss, Chen Qing pushed the matter very quickly.

According to the revenue and profit level of Xiangshan network, it is planned that First Boston will be the lead underwriter of this IPO. The initial valuation of the company is US $500million, equivalent to RMB 4.15 billion. It is nothing in the Nasdaq market with a total market value of nearly 10trillion. However, in China, it is already the largest overseas IPO in the industry after the start of the new technology wave.

After all, as a state-owned giant like CNOOC, the valuation of this IPO is only about RMB 40billion.

In addition, Xiangshan network has a valuation of 500million US dollars. According to the company's hot online game business, it actually achieved an annual net profit of 200million yuan, with a valuation of 20 times the P / E ratio. In the Nasdaq market, where the average p / E ratio has exceeded 100 times, it is really quite cheap.

Considering the further expectation in the future, we don't intend to make too much water flow into the fields of outsiders this time.

It is planned to issue shares equivalent to about 30% of the total share capital at one time, including 10% of the original shares sold and 20% of the new financing shares. In North America, it is planned to turn its left hand over its right hand and directly take half of the shares. The rest of the shares will also flow into the hands of affiliated friendly enterprises as far as possible.

At that time, it seems that the equity will be further dispersed. In fact, the shareholding share and control ability of Westeros to Xiangshan network will only be further strengthened.

Simon now regrets.

There is no need to give the local snake too much shares.

I definitely want to give, but I obviously gave a little too much before.

Therefore, the plan is to continue to take back more shares after this IPO, taking advantage of the next trough period when the new technology market is bound to rise and fall.

Moreover, another group of enterprises that have not arranged for listing also plan to continuously dilute the shares of other shareholders through continuous financing. Of course, in order to avoid being too conspicuous, the shares held by Westeros system will also be diluted, but it must be just left-handed and right-handed.
