Homecoming of Rebirth

Leader Qiao didn't even give Adams a chance to speak, so he got up and left.

His deputy Tim Cook hurriedly chased him out, "Steve, there is no need to offend this kind of person, your reaction is too violent."

Jobs shrugged indifferently, "We have to make it clear to him and show our position, otherwise he will keep disturbing us."

Tim Cook wanted to say something more, but he understood Steve's temper, "Forget it, maybe you're right."

Jobs smiled, "Okay Tim, we still have a lot of work to do, and I'm going back to R&D."

After speaking, Jobs left quickly.

Cook, who was supposed to go together, watched him go away, and turned back to Adams, "I'm sorry, Steve is a little uncomfortable, and I apologize to you on his behalf."

After speaking, Cook sat down calmly.

Steve is a very stubborn person, but Cook is not. He comes from a marketing background and prefers to be more tactful.

Adams didn't mind this, and said with a smile, "Tim, I guarantee that Mr. Jobs will regret leaving today."

"Oh?" Bill was very curious.

In fact, he was able to sit here now because he guessed that Adams, who came back so soon, must have some new chips.

Now that Adams said it again, Bill was even more certain.

"Okay, Mr. Adams, everyone is busy, so you can get straight to the point."

Seeing that Adams was really happy, "I got the price of the three-stone mobile phone."

"What!?" Whether Cook or Bill, everyone was shocked.

The first reaction is, does EDN have such a great energy?

At present, the pricing of new products is definitely the top secret of each company, except for a few core management, no one knows.

Everyone can only rely on guesswork, or some daily clues to deduce what price the opponent has set.

And Adams claims he got it?

Bill couldn't help asking eagerly: "Where did you get it? Is it reliable?"

Adams, "100% reliable, as to how..."

Adams made a secret, "EDN certainly has its own channel, sorry I can't disclose it."

Everyone, "..."

Everyone couldn't help but start to re-examine the spy chief, because Adams had already demonstrated his energy at this time.

At the same time, they have to re-evaluate their attitude towards Sanshi.

You know, before everyone didn't want to use non-commercial means with Sanshi, one of the most important reasons was Qi Lei's relationship with Palace B.

Now, it has to be reassessed.

At least one thing is obvious, EDN will not investigate Sanshi and Qi Lei for no reason, there must be someone behind the scenes.

So who is that person?How much energy?

After a long time, Kroger spoke first, "Okay, Mr. Adams has helped us a lot, and I personally thank you."

"So, what is the price of the three stones?"

Adams, "Can I consider that we have a deal?"

Everyone, "..."

After a long time, everyone nodded with difficulty.

No way, this information is too important.

"Very good!" Adams heaved a sigh of relief, not talking nonsense, "between $750 and $950."

"..." Everyone looked at each other in silence.

Bill, "Are you sure?"

Adams, "Sure!"

"Phew," Bill said, "that bastard must be crazy."

You know, many brands of laptops cannot be sold at such a high price.

Didn't he think about money and go crazy?

"I think we should do something."

……

Cook returned to Apple and told Jobs the big news that Adams had brought.

"Steve, Bill thinks we should do something, this is a huge opportunity!"

Jobs was also surprised, and kept muttering to himself, "Why did he dare to sell so high? Why did he dare?"

This is what Jobs is most curious about. If he has no real skills, would he dare to sell it so high?

Cook said on the first day: "Steve, now is not the time to be entangled in these things, we have to do something!"

"No!" Jobs recalled, "Tim, you make me think about it! Maybe we should do something, but..."

"Not like Bill."

……

When the time comes to May, Shanghai has already begun to feel the heat of early summer.

Coincidentally, the central air conditioner in the laboratory was broken, and the building was like a steamer.

Qi Lei originally wanted to take the opportunity to give everyone a day off, but it's a pity that Mr. Nan and Byron beat him back.

"You can take care of yourself! It's less than a year before the listing!"

Qi Lei, "..."

Damn, it's like I'm the only one who is being lazy.

There was no other way but to ask Sam to order a lot of ice cubes and cold drinks outside, hoping that everyone would feel better.

But even so, many experimental units are still struggling because they are inside the building without even a window for ventilation.

Like a few precision laboratories, the requirements for the environment are relatively high, and the windows cannot be opened, and ice cubes cannot be sent in, so the humidity must be maintained.

On the contrary, Mr. Nan was a little excited, and Qi Lei showed off, "Can't stand it without an air conditioner?"

Pointing to a few senior figures from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, "Ask them, in the 80s, when we were doing research, where did we get the air conditioner in summer? Especially in the server room, the temperature can reach [-] degrees, it's not the same to survive gone?"

When an old professor heard this, he was excited, "The computer room is comfortable, and I'm good at it. I'm in a clean room, wearing isolation suits, and there's a casting furnace next to it."

Qi Lei, "..."

Xin said, maybe the more I live, the more hypocritical it is!

The scientific research in that era was rough and unrestrained. The older generation of scientific and technological workers laid the foundation of Chinese science and technology with their hands.

Walking around in the building, Qi Lei was sweating profusely, and his underwear was soaked.

Rushing back to the office, "Secret! Here's a bottle of sour plum soup!"

But before he finished drinking, the phone rang and Wang Zhendong called.

The first mobile phone assembly line in Shenzhen has been installed, and the next step is to enter the debugging stage.

"Damn it, the capital has to be comfortable this season!"

At this time, Wang Zhendong was also sweating profusely in his trousers and vest. "I finished the task on time, are you free to come and inspect?"

Qi Lei didn't answer, only the sound of pouring water came from the phone, followed by a refreshing throat sound.

"Just wait!" Qi Lei regained his strength before answering, "Next week, Ding Lei and Brother Xiao Ma's software will also be handed over, and I'll be there then."

Wang Zhendong swallowed his saliva and thought, what should we drink?So enjoyable?

But he said: "Don't! You urged me to rush to work, and now I have to wait? Come here now!"

Qi Lei, "I can't make it through! The fab and water purification system are also on the ground, I have to take care of this side first."

Grinning, as if showing off, "Maybe the new machine can use our own wafers!"

Wang Zhendong is looking forward to it, "In the next year, the chip design that ARM gives us on the PC side can also be implemented, and we will be able to manufacture our own chips by then."

Hang up the phone, and it rang again before taking two breaths.

Qi Lei immediately picked it up, "Who?"

"Me! Paulson."

Qi Lei laughed, "Uncle Bao! I'm busy, are you okay?"

Paulson said seriously, "Qi Lei, I have something to do!"

"Say something."

Paulson, "Your pricing may have been leaked. Credible information, Microsoft, Apple, Blackberry, and Motorola, are doing PR marketing for our high prices, and it will be out soon."

As soon as these words came out, Qi Lei's expression gradually froze, "Is the pricing leaked?"

Paulson was very anxious, "Yes! I don't know where they got the news, it's very troublesome."

On the phone, Qi Lei didn't say a word, the silence made Paulson a little hairy.

After a long time, a long sigh came out, "It's really troublesome!"

Paulson hurriedly answered, "What should I do then?"

"I think there is only one way to tackle the crisis immediately! You have to know that once they guide the public opinion and let potential users characterize us, it will definitely have a huge impact on the sale."

Qi Lei, "..." remained silent.

After a while, "Yes, it has a great impact!"

Paulson had been waiting, and when he heard Qi Lei's movement, he immediately continued: "Qi, in fact, I have always thought that we really don't need to set the price so high. Maybe this is God's hint, and the price should be lowered a bit .”

Added, "This may be the best solution."

Qi Lei, "Don't worry, let me think about it."

……

After hanging up the phone, Qi Lei sat back in his chair and drank the remaining sour plum soup.Sit in silence for a long time.

Until Sam came in and found that Qi Lei was not in the right state, "What? Is something wrong?"

Qi Lei raised his head and squeezed out a smile, "It's nothing, it's just that the pricing has been leaked."

Immediately, he stated what Paulson said, and Sam narrowed his eyes when he listened.

"Leaked? I remember that not many people know the price of our mobile phone?"

As far as Sam knew, there were Qi Lei, Sam himself, Lao Qin, Wang Zhendong, and Paulson.

Qi Lei didn't tell a few people about this matter, none of Sanshi's senior management knew about it, even Mr. Nan, Brother Xiao Ma, and Byron didn't know how much the new mobile phone would cost.

"Qi, don't you think it's strange?"

Qi Lei smiled, "There's no need to guess, it's him."

Sam, "..."

That him is Paulson.

However, Sam thought for a long time, "No, you know that Paulson may use this matter to make a fuss, why do you still..."

Qi Lei shook his head, he didn't want to talk about this topic.

Sam didn't let it go, "Did you do it on purpose?"

Qi Lei still didn't speak.

Sam rolled his eyes, "Then since you thought it would be him, there must be a way to deal with it, right?"

Qi Lei smiled wryly, "To be honest, there really isn't one for mobile phone marketing."

Sam, "..."

This time it's not Qi Lei playing dirty, using Paulson to hype.In fact, there is no way to hype, and there is no such operation.

There is a completely different thing between revealing the price before the launch and revealing the price after the launch, especially if the price is too high.
