Chapter 685： iPad co-branded from Guanghua University

The caller was Apple's CEO Cook, and the discussion was naturally about the optical core.

The optical core is conducting the mass production experiment of national production, and there is always feedback on the real-time progress, and there is nothing to disclose. Chen Hao directly informs the other party.

Then Hu Tianhaidi tugged again, and when he was about to hang up the phone, Cook suddenly said, "Professor Chen, I heard from the assistant that your Chinese college entrance examination is approaching the admission stage. Do you still have an impression of the cooperation?"

"Collaboration on iPad?" Chen Hao was slightly taken aback.

I've been busy with a lot of things recently, and I forgot for a while.

Fortunately, the expansion of his brain is still relatively large, and many memories have also been classified and divided in the brain. It is only two or three seconds of retrieval. Chen Hao recalled this that Cook mentioned a while ago.

Who said that Cook's EQ is low, but Cook's EQ is actually higher than many people. For example, when he treats Chen Hao and Guanghua University, he will win people's hearts.

"Remember, what happened?"

"Is that so, is it convenient for Professor Chen to disclose the number of new students in your school this year?"

Chen Hao pondered for a while, "The number of new students this year is probably around 4,000."

Among the 4,000 people, 3,700 are undergraduates, 3,500 are from the mainland, 100 students from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and 100 are international students.

There are only 300 postgraduates (master, doctorate).

No way, undergraduates are fine, but expanding enrollment for graduate students doesn’t mean expanding enrollment, there must be a master’s degree and a doctoral degree.

Generally, a better school has more graduate students than undergraduates. For example, Tsinghua University and Peking University combined, the number of undergraduate students last year was only more than 7,200, 12,300 master students, and 6,000 doctoral students, a total of 25,600 students. Enrollment size.

Undergraduate students account for only 28.25% of them.

In front of Tsinghua University and Peking University, the 300 graduate students of Guanghua University are not worth mentioning at all.

"Okay, your school can prepare to receive it in the afternoon."

"Can you be there in the afternoon?" Chen Hao raised his eyebrows, as if surprised by Apple's efficiency.

After a few chats, the phone hangs up.

Originally thought it would take a lot of time, but in fact it was not even in the afternoon. It was only about an hour after the phone call that Chen Hao received a notification from Deng Hui.

Looking at the time, it happened to be delivered before 12 o'clock.

Chen Hao laughed dumbly, but he was a little curious about the Apple shipment.

Let the logistics office receive it, and then Chen Hao personally goes to the logistics office.

Chen Hao picked up one and looked at it, "A total of 4,500 units?"

"Yes, the principal, I have already checked it, and what the other party said is correct." Wang Lin, director of the logistics department, secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was about to get off work and go to the cafeteria. Spread down, and let all the teachers in the logistics department stand by.

Wang Lin glanced at Chen Hao and asked cautiously, "Principal, what should we do with these?"

"Let's put it here temporarily, and the admissions office will pick it up in a few days."

Having said that, Chen Hao raised the iPad box in his hand, and said warmly, "I'll take this one, and you can go to dinner after get off work too."

"Hey, good principal."

After leaving the warehouse, Chen Hao also let Deng Hui rest. Anyway, he was not in a hurry to eat, so he went back to the office first.

Open the outer plastic seal, and then open the box. Inside is a tablet computer and a stylus.

The appearance of Applepencil did not arouse Chen Hao's surprise. What really surprised Chen Hao was the iPad body.

Under the Apple logo after being bitten on the back shell, there are usually four letters [iPad].

But it's not the same here.

Below the four letters are several Chinese characters and the emblem of Guanghua University.

【Co-branded by Guanghua University】

The corners of Chen Hao's mouth rose, and he couldn't help laughing, "This Cook is a bit interesting."

The tablet is turned on, and the operation is performed according to the process. The latter is more interesting.

Even the model name of this machine has the words [Guanghua University joint name], it can be said that the scorpion **** is the only one.

I don't seem to have heard that Apple will make a joint model for a certain university, or it has this kind of body and model name. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cup artifact.

And this tablet is still the iPad pro 2021, with the M1 chip known as the strongest chip on the mobile side.

The iPad is still very easy to use as a learning productivity, and the 11-inch is convenient for taking notes in class, and the weight is not very large.

Even the 512G version of the iPad pro 2021 requires eight or nine thousand units, which is not too expensive.

Chen Hao thought for a while and said, "Except for the rest of the freshmen, just give it to the staff as a welfare."

I have to say that Cook will still play, and getting this unique co-branded model will not only enhance students' sense of belonging and identity to the school, but also strengthen their impression and goodwill towards Apple.

Even if it is issued to faculty members, the same is true.

...

afternoon.

Tang Ru, director of the admissions office, knocked on the door of the principal's office nervously.

"Headmaster, are you looking for me?"

"Look at this iPad."

Picking up the iPad from the table, Tang Ru simply controlled it. It seemed like an ordinary iPad, right?

Chen Hao supported his forehead, only to remind him, "Director Tang, look at the back cover."

"Uh, good."

After being reminded, Tang Ru hurriedly flipped the fuselage over, and the back case had no tricks. At a glance, she saw the [Guanghua University Joint Brand] and the Guanghua University emblem.

Seeing these two places, Tang Ru was a little confused. She couldn't help looking up at Chen Hao and asked uncertainly, "Principal, is this... customized by you?"

Chen Hao said lightly: "Look at the machine-model name again."

Tang Ru obediently clicked, until she saw this, she realized it later, and couldn't help but be shocked.

"Headmaster, what's the situation?"

"This is specially customized by Apple for our Guanghua, and a customized Apple Pencil is also required."

I have to say that the stylus is not simple. The words "Guanghua University" and a school badge are also printed on it, which I noticed later.

What really shocked Tang Ru was Chen Hao's next sentence.

"Starting from this year, Apple has been exclusively sponsoring iPads for undergraduates, masters and Ph.D. students admitted to Guanghua University every year. There are 300 more iPads this year, and I took one. For the rest, you can create a small program for a lottery and teach it to you. Employee benefits."

"Is this iPad in the admission letter spree?"

It's not that Tang Ru is making a fuss, it's really outrageous!

There are more than 3,000 universities in China, and I have never seen any university give an iPad to a freshman, and it is an iPad Pro, plus the stylus, the value is nearly 10,000.

"right."

Tang Ru remained silent, secretly calculating the weight of this admission letter spree.

iPadPro+ApplePencil, pens, bookmarks, physical books, postcards, this is still not counting admission notices and freshman handbooks.

It's too luxurious...

Even Tang Ru was secretly envious of these freshmen. When they came to Guanghua University, they would know how correct their choice was. So low now.

Chen Hao suddenly asked, "By the way, how's the admissions for international students?"

Thanks to the admissions video of Guanghua University, it has attracted the attention of many high school students and college students from all over the world. Although Guanghua University ranks very low, it has a high exposure rate and strong scientific research strength, and its popularity has remained high.

"There are a lot of people who have signed up. The qualification review can be completed in two days. The follow-up is to issue written test and interview invitations to the students who pass." Tang Ruhui reported.

Chen Hao said: "Well, send me the list of passed ones first."

After talking about enrollment, Tang Ru also left.

In the office, Chen Hao couldn't sit still.

"No, I have to make some big news these two days."

Chen Hao muttered, got up and left the office.

Target: Optical Core Industrial Park.
