Chapter 477 Saipan Alliance! (first update)
Many Americans did not pay attention to Apple's iPhone conference last night, but the next day, they all learned about the iPhone from newspapers, the Internet, TV or word of mouth.

At the same time, the news of the popularity of the iPhone in the United States quickly spread throughout the world.

Countless foreign netizens have "Ait" Chronos Li, hoping that Apple can also sell iPhone smartphones in their countries.

Among them, a Chinese netizen said: "Is such an awesome mobile phone black technology? Why is it only sold in the United States? It's not fair. What do you think of our Chinese users?!"

"Chronos Li, you are still not Chinese, hurry up and get us millions of iPhones, otherwise, the boat of our friendship will capsize!"

……

Li Zetian looked at his Weibo, and felt powerless to complain, Nima, so many people "Aite" me, scolding me, what's wrong with me, it makes sense for Apple to choose to release the iPhone in the United States, it's so expensive Mobile phones are affordable by Americans, and the development of 3G networks is relatively mature.If it is released in China, there must be very few people who buy it. If it is rushed, it will be so embarrassing...

Li Zetian took out his iPhone, opened Weibo, and updated a message.

"My dear, don't worry, the Ant Factory produces tens of millions of units per month, with a strong production capacity, and you will soon be able to purchase iPhones through various channels..."

As soon as this news was sent out, it was immediately reposted by netizens.

"Hehe, Chronos·Li is so funny, dear??? Hehe, the person you called me is so kind~~ Well, since your attitude is so sincere, we forgive you!"

"Honey, hurry up and ship it, we can't wait!!"

"Honey, are you a funny B sent by a monkey?"

"..."

Countless netizens interacted with Chronos·Li on Weibo. This scene was so eye-catching that I couldn't bear to look directly at it.

Other mobile phone manufacturers want to scold their mothers!
In fact, they are just envious and jealous.

In less than a week, 800 million iPhones were sold out in the US.

At this time, the media reported that some netizens on the eBay website auctioned iPhones, with the 4GB version selling for $1600 and the 8GB version selling for $2000.

The 4GB version of the iPhone was originally priced at $799, and it made $800 as soon as it changed hands, making more money than Apple.

Netizens shouted, "Oh my God, scalpers, can I kneel down for you, how dare you sell it for such a high price, you are still human!!!"

Not to mention, someone really bought it, and the supply is still in short supply!

Soon, the prices of iPhones listed on the eBay website became more and more expensive, and even the 8GB version of the iPhone was fired up to $5000!

By August, the Ant Factory had produced 8 million iPhones. This time, only 1000 million units were allocated to the United States, 300 million units to Europe, 400 million units to China, and 100 units per day...

You know, the iPhone is popular all over the world, and it has become a fashion. In addition, the iPhone is expensive, and it can be used to show off, pretend to be aggressive, and has a lot of face. It is very popular in the United States and even people all over the world.

Everyone waited eagerly. After waiting for a month, many people made a special trip to save money to buy an iPhone.

No, as soon as the iPhone was launched in various countries around the world, it immediately attracted frenzied buying, and there were dense long queues outside the stores everywhere, so spectacular! ! !In less than two weeks, the 1000 million iPhones were sold out.

At this time, netizens began to complain again, asking Apple to produce more iPhones.

Alas, there are only exhausted cows, no plowed fields, and a monthly production capacity of 1000 million can't feed you~~~What else can Li Zetian say.

Apple and Li Zetian can only suffer and be happy.

Of course, for other mobile phone manufacturers, there is really only pain, and it is heartbreaking!
The iPhone sold well, and the sales of mobile phones from Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola and other companies all plummeted.The Nokia N70 sold well before, with 6 million units sold in June alone, but only 400 units were sold in July.By August, sales were even lower.

All manufacturers sit still?Of course it is impossible. A large number of mobile phone manufacturers such as Nokia are working hard one by one at this moment, and they are also preparing to develop touch-screen mobile phones.

Obviously, touch-screen mobile phones are very different from traditional smart phones. Among them, the mobile phone operating system is the key. Otherwise, how can it support touch operations?
Nokia Corporation has always been the major shareholder of Symbian System. This time, Nokia Corporation decided to acquire Symbian System Corporation in order to fight against iPhone smartphones and iOS Apple mobile phone systems.

On August 8th, Nokia Corporation held a press conference. The chairman of the company announced: "Nokia Corporation will work with companies such as Sony Ericsson, Motorola, and NTT DoCoMo to form a new open mobile software platform that integrates the current Symbian OS. , S15, UIQ, MOAP system.

In addition to the above four companies, Nokia will also unite AT&T, LG, Samsung, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments and Vodafone to form a non-profit Symbian Foundation to promote the new Symbian mobile operating system to the world with an open attitude. System platform.

In order to realize the formation of the foundation, Nokia decided to spend 2.64 million euros to fully acquire all the shares of Symbian currently held by Ericsson, Panasonic, Samsung, Siemens and Sony Ericsson, making Symbian a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nokia! ! ! "

As soon as the press conference ended, it immediately caused shock in the industry!
Obviously, the move of the giants is to fight against Apple, solve the gap between the various versions of Symbian in the same open way, and join forces to enter the market competition!

Li Zetian was quite shocked when he heard the news, but after thinking about it carefully, he took it for granted.

In the previous life, Nokia itself was the leader of the industry. As the leader of the industry, it was naturally hypocritical and even arrogant. At that time, Apple launched a multi-touch screen mobile phone.

But in this life, Nokia became the second child of the company.The boss is Apple, and now that the iPhone is selling so hot, Nokia will certainly think of transformation.Therefore, acquiring Symbian, developing a mobile phone operating system, and uniting many mobile phone manufacturers to fight against Apple, this is what Nokia is doing now!
However, many netizens are not optimistic about the alliance formed by companies such as Nokia and Ericsson. System development software, can you sell it?!"

"Hehe, Chronos Li will definitely say arrogantly, 'I am not your Nokia trash, but all the mobile phone manufacturers in the alliance are trash!!!'"

"Sit back and watch the iPhone hit the world!"

"..."

The netizen's words aroused the concerns of many mobile phone manufacturers in the Saipan Alliance. Nokia held a meeting with other companies to discuss this matter.

Someone said: "Chronos Li can't cover the sky with one hand. There are still many competitors on the Internet. We can definitely win over these Internet companies. Although it still has some impact on sales, it is at least a solution! Of course, if The Internet company under the name of Li Zetian is willing to develop application software for our mobile phones, of course it is the best! Besides, is Chronos Li worried that other application software will become bigger and stronger on Symbian mobile phones?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Hehe, that's right, Chronos Li must also be afraid that other software will grow stronger and take away the mobile Internet market share!"

The chairman of Nokia studied it brightly and laughed loudly: "Haha, in this way, Chronos Li will definitely submit to us! When I think of his deflated appearance, I feel like Trump!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

But, is Chronos Li just the kind of person who will succumb?
