The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 793 The Showdown Between Two Li Xiaoyao

"Apple?" Hearing the name from Edward Zamp's mouth, the members of the board of directors were a little surprised. Someone frowned and asked, "What does our business have to do with Apple? Do they want to make mobile phones too?"

"No, Apple is not interested in mobile phones!" Edward Zamp shook his head with a smile and said, "Apple just wants to use the iTunes store to cooperate with us, so that its iTunes can log into the mobile platform and provide some music download services!"

"iTunes music store?" When the directors heard it, they understood it somewhat. Isn't this the trick that the VIVO mobile phone is playing now?

After the mobile phone sold millions of units around the world, it began to promote its own music store, selling various music in it, and also actively cooperated with major record companies to put their music on the mobile phone platform and sell electronic products. Copyright or something, it is said that he also made a lot of money.

However, this routine was not invented by vivo. Apple invented this money-making routine a few years ago, and Apple’s iTunes music store is larger than vivo’s music store. richness.

"This is a good cooperation. As long as it can earn enough benefits for the company, you can do it at will. Don't think that the 00 mobile game store is so screwy!" The chairman nodded and said, for this cooperation No one in the board of directors took it seriously, because in their view, this was a very reasonable cooperation.

Apple's ipod relies on its itunes store to make countless profits, and now vivo mobile phones have reproduced the profit model of the itunes store on mobile phones, so if Apple wants to defeat this opponent, it is very reasonable to cooperate with mobile phone companies to launch the itunes store thing.

"Understood!" Edward Zamp nodded, and at the same time rejoiced in his heart, thanks to the sudden interruption tool of Apple, otherwise God knows when he would be fucked by the board of directors.

"Wait, do you think Apple will also want to enter the mobile phone industry? He wants to throw stones at us?" Suddenly, a director asked with some concern.

"Sir, your worries are really unnecessary, I assure you here, there is absolutely no such possibility!" Edward Zamp replied immediately without thinking.

"Why are you so sure?" the director asked a little unhappy.

"Dear sir, this is actually a thing that does not need to be thought about. You see, the entire mobile phone industry has already reached this point, under the bite of those few wild dogs from the East. Even we have Enterprises with rich experience, need to save costs, have a complete supply chain system, and sales network, all have serious business problems under the bite of these wild dogs!"

"For a company like Apple, he is restlessly holding the profits on his computer and iPod. Is it necessary to come to our business to suffer?" Edward Zamp said helplessly.

"Okay, you convinced me!" When the director heard that, the truth was indeed true, so he shrugged his shoulders and said no more.

"By the way, how is our mobile game platform? It has been almost three months, why is it still not online?" The chairman suddenly thought of something, and asked very displeasedly, "We are also developing this platform. After investing a certain amount of energy and financial resources, if this platform can exit now, it will also have a very positive impact on the stock price, why hasn’t it exited now??”

"This..." Edward Zamp's expression was a little stiff, "The R&D center said it will take some time."

"We have given it more than three months. At first you promised us that the results would be produced within one month. Now it is three times the time. Why is it still not enough?" The chairman questioned his soul.

"Sir, this is mainly because other companies have no teamwork spirit, and our staff can't cooperate with them at all!" Edward Zamp sighed, and then said angrily, "Our staff proposed to use C++ as a programming language. This is generally recognized by the industry. However, those led by Nokia must use java, simply because their Symbian platform is based on java. If we insist on following them, won’t this force us to change our Is it the underlying logic of the entire mobile phone system?"

"So our staff struggled with their insistence, which took a lot of time. In addition, in terms of platform adaptability, there are a lot of problems that need to be solved together, but they all don't cooperate with us, resulting in all mobile phone failures. There are many difficulties in the development of the platform, but please believe that I am already working hard to cooperate!" Edward Zamp said.

"I'm curious why there aren't so many problems on the OO side. It is said that it took them less than three months to come up with solutions for almost all mobile phone system platforms by themselves. Why are you so slow? "A director asked in puzzlement, "Obviously we have gathered the scientific research strength of more than 20 mobile phone companies, is this still no match for one company?".

"Sir, it's because they only have one company, not like we have 20 mouths!" Edward Zamp said with a wry smile.

"That's enough. I don't care what problems you have. The board of directors only gives you half a month. If you can't launch our own mobile game platform in half a month, then don't do it yourself, and cooperate directly with the 00 mobile game platform." Alright!" said the chairman finally.

"Yes!" Edward Zamp returned to his office with a face full of pain, and then scolded the dozen or so people he sent to the mobile game cooperation research and development center, asking them to find a way to complete the task no matter what. , the company can give all help!
I don’t know if it’s because God also sees Edward Zamp and they are too pitiful. They help each other in the dark, so that Nokia, Samsung and other R&D teams are also urged by the parent company. Try to reach a consensus if you reach a consensus, and skip it if you can’t reach a consensus, and do what you want.

With such an attitude, the progress of the cooperation was much faster. Finally, in mid-December, they finally launched their own mobile game center, and then injected a boost to their continuously falling stock prices.

"Dear everyone at the scene, hello, audience friends in front of the TV, welcome to the national finals of "Caiwei Fashion Apprentice". I am your host Wang Xiaoya, and I am your host Li Yong!"

On December 2004, 12, after more than half a year of competition, the column "Caiwei Fashion Apprentice" finally reached the finals.

This show, which was broadcast in April this year, actually lasted for nearly 10 months, and it has been on the prime time of TV Y all the time. It is even more unexpected that this variety show will become the monster that cleans up the whole year. The strongest variety show of the year, the kind that doesn't exist.

The long time is due to the problem of the competition system. First of all, it is divided into eight competition areas with the preliminaries. The preliminaries of a competition area will use 2 programs, which is 16 programs.

Then there is the top 16 match in the knockout stage, where the two divisions fight each other, and finally the top 16 places are determined. This is another four episodes of the program.

During the quarter-finals, it seemed that only two episodes were enough, but because the top 16 contestants each had unimaginable popularity.Well, you just think that the top 16 players are Li Yuchun, Yang Chaoyue, and Li Luxiu, no matter what their character is, but they are top-notch draft picks.

Anyway, the popularity of Super Girl is so high compared to the same period, so that next year, Hunan Satellite TV will not engage in Super Girl at all, and directly organize a fashion design talent show called Lanmu.

Of course, this is all for later, anyway, the popularity of the top 16 is too high, even the weakest one has more than 1000 million popularity, and the strongest among them, such as Princess Vivienne, is even more popular than elementary school students. Yuan and so on, they are all BUG players with a popularity of over [-] million. With such popularity, you can eliminate half of them in just two rounds, which is really a pity.

So the top 8 battle has also become the fourth round.

Although there were two rounds of the semi-finals, between the semi-finals and the semi-finals, there was a resurgence match and a challenge match, and there was another episode of the program abruptly.

There are two more episodes in the semi-finals, so before the finals, there will be a full 29 episodes, which is equivalent to 7 months.

At the same time, because the broadcasting platform is Y TV, during the period due to various irresistible factors, the program was postponed for four weeks, so finally on December 12th, "Caiwei Fashion Apprentice" was ushered in Battle of the finals.

"Everyone, welcome to our two finalists, Miss Vivian, Her Royal Highness Princess from Europe, and Fang Xiaoyuan, a first-year student from Shichahai Middle School!" Under the introduction of the host, the finalists The two players finally made their debut.

Although the whole competition process was full of suspense, the final result was not very unexpected, because it was a duel between two popular kings.

Of course, the winning condition of the competition does not depend entirely on popularity. About half of the factors lie in the scores of various professionals, especially Qu Wei herself, on clothing design.

But even so, the two popular kings still stood out and finally stood on both sides of the duel stage.

At this time, the host continued, "Next, let us welcome our two co-model partners, namely actor Hu Ge and actor Leng Zhiwen!"

Well, the duel between the model partners is also extremely interesting, it directly becomes a duel between Li Xiaoyao from two worlds.
