Michael Robin's press conference ended abruptly with a whimper.

After the meeting, he immediately gathered all the high-tech companies in the United States to watch Li Yunfei's live broadcast.

His face was gloomy, and he asked: "Everyone, do you think we still have a chance to kill this smart AR wireless glasses?"

The representatives of all the high-tech companies in the United States played with the glasses in their hands with curiosity and did not speak.

They were shocked by the many features of these glasses.

Seeing that no one spoke, Michael Robin knocked on the table and spoke again: "Occupying the technological high ground of Blue Star is the foundation of our country."

"This pair of glasses is a minor issue, but once this door is opened, more and more technological high ground will be occupied. You should understand the consequences, right?"

"When the time comes, everyone present here will be unable to escape!"

The dozen or so representatives in the conference room were silent, and when the silence ended, most of them turned their eyes to the representatives of Apple.

In the mobile field, Apple is the leader. If Apple does not stand up, then others really do not have the confidence and courage.

The Apple representative sighed, stood up and said, "Ambassador Robin, we still have a chance."

"We have discussed internally that the production cost of this pair of glasses should be similar to that of our latest Apple 15Pro max."

"For this kind of new technology, the initial development cost must be very high. We estimate that their price should be around US$10,000."

"Although they will occupy the high-end market, we still have the opportunity to occupy the mid-end and low-end markets. Give us two years, and we will definitely be able to develop similar products!"

After the representative of Apple expressed his position, representatives from other American high-tech companies also expressed their views.

Some people will focus on chips, some will focus on batteries, and some will focus on intelligent systems.

Michael Robin looked at the vibrant scene in the conference room, and the scene in 2000 when the Eagle Sauce high-tech industry dominated the blue planet emerged in front of his eyes.

He couldn't help but applaud the Apple representative. At this time, Li Yunfei's live broadcast room also announced the price of this smart AR wireless glasses.

“I don’t want 19999, nor 9999, nor 5999, I only want 1999!”

“Technology is not high and mighty. It serves the people, not the rich!” The number 1999 that appeared on the big screen behind Li Yunfei stunned the audience who were watching the live broadcast.

Not only domestic audiences, but also foreign audiences were stunned.

"No no no, is Director Li kidding us?"

"Wardfa, this top-notch high-tech can be purchased for only 1999."

"Can anyone tell me where the link is? Smash the table and give me money. I want to buy it!"

"I will travel to a big country in the East next week. They have a 144-hour transit visa exemption. I must buy this product. I am tempted."

"Brother, can you buy me one too? I want one too. Please help me buy it."

The cheers from the audience lasted for three minutes.

At Michael Robin's place, everyone felt disappointed. The price of 1999 was simply a joke to the Americans.

Everyone turned their eyes to the representative of Apple, their eyes full of expectation.

The Apple representative had a stiff expression on his face, and he tried hard to ask, "Well, the price they mentioned should be US dollars, right?"

Michael Robin looked at Li Yunfei in Tianfu and shook his head and said, "No, it's RMB. At this price, you should be able to make similar products, right?"

The current exchange rate between RMB and USD is about 1:7.3, so the selling price of 1999 does not exceed 274 USD.

What can 274 US dollars do in the United States? After inflation, it will cost more than this amount to eat at a slightly higher-end restaurant.

When the Apple representative figured it out, he was so upset that he stood up and said, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

"How could they possibly develop such a product at this price? Here, not to mention the R&D costs, the production costs alone are more than that!" Michael Robin patted the table, took control of the situation in the meeting room, and sighed, "Don't compare our R&D costs with Dongda."

"Their money has a different purchasing power than ours. Think about the Twin-Tailed Scorpion drone. Is it reasonable that they can produce it at that price?"

"Don't talk about the difficulties or hardships. I just want the results. Tell me whether you can develop similar products."

The Apple representative sat down immediately, and the conference room fell into silence again.

After a long time.

Finally someone broke the silence: "Of course, but the price will be much higher."

“What about the same price?”

“It’s OK, but the performance isn’t that good.”

Michael Robin sighed, frowned, and asked, "What if I want the same price and the same performance?"

The representative of Apple looked at the silent and embarrassed crowd, and finally stood up and said, "Ambassador Robin, I think you are making things difficult for us."

"But your request is not impossible."

Everyone in the conference room was stunned.

They are all high-tech companies in the United States. Although they are not necessarily in the same industry, they have cooperated with each other and understand each other.

The words from the Apple representative really broke their understanding of Apple.

"Oh my god, does Apple already have the corresponding technology?"

"Even if we have the corresponding technology, we are completely giving up the cost just to seize the market. It's a big deal!"

"If the government doesn't give Apple subsidies, it really doesn't make sense. It still has to be Apple!"

"We have all been in the high-tech battlefield for decades, but we didn't expect that we would still have to rely on Apple at the critical moment!"

"Apple, don't hold back, be more energetic, good job, we will definitely help you and promote it when the time comes."

The Apple representative listened to what everyone said, looked at them with pride, tilted his head back, and his nostrils almost reaching the ceiling.

Michael Robin said excitedly: "Well done, great! The government will definitely give you a lot of subsidies when the time comes. Do you have the corresponding technology, Apple?"

"No, this kind of high technology requires at least five years of research and development!"

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Of course it's OEM. As long as the glasses have our Apple logo, it's fine. At worst, we won't make any money."

Everyone in the conference room couldn't help but be amazed.

Representatives from more than a dozen high-tech companies stood up and petitioned loudly.

If there are official subsidies and it is a OEM product, then there is indeed some profit in the process, and it is indeed a good business.

"Ambassador Robin, how much subsidy will our government provide? We can also do this."

"If the big country in the East can research it, we can do it too!"

"Not only can we OEM, but we can also rely on the brand effect, add some money, seize the opportunity to occupy the high-end market, and let the big country in the East work for us for free."

"You are all right. We can do it if you want to have a brand."

Michael Robin listened to what everyone said, veins popped up on his forehead, and he immediately slammed the table and asked, "You guys put up a brand, aren't you afraid of being discovered and being strangled?"

"What will you do when sanctions are imposed?" (End of this chapter)
