Remember [Love♂尚★小△说§网] in one second, read wonderful novels for free without pop-ups!

A week later, iPhone1 sales reached 21 million units, and the number of users in the United States alone has reached more than 8 million.

At this time, the daily sales of iPhone1 slowly dropped. The main reason was that iPhone1 was too expensive and users were reluctant to spend money to buy it. However, as more and more people use iPhone, it has become a fashion, and many people are saving money. Others play on iPhone1, chat online, watch videos, and if they come out with a Nokia phone, they instantly feel too low!

Other mobile phone manufacturers are jealous, and what makes them stunned is that the AppStore on the iPhone1 is also a cash cow. Up to now, the number of software downloads is as high as 210 million, and each user has downloaded at least 10 software! Essential software such as icq, YouTube, Facebook, wps, PayPal, etc., relying on their monopoly position, almost all of these software charges, ranging from five dollars to one hundred dollars, with a total revenue of 6.45 billion dollars!

Here, the user is very strange at first, how can there be PayPal software, but not Amazon, eBay and Alibaba?

In fact, these software programs are included in the third-party payment software PayPal, and its design is completely modeled after Alipay. As for why? In fact, the reason is very simple. Mobile payment is the payment portal, and the portal is king! ! !

Therefore, seizing payment portals is far more important than e-commerce platforms! ! !

Henry is going to play a big game!

Mobile payment will be the entrance to Internet financial services and an important entrance to the O2O (online to offline) industry, including food delivery, taxi rides, etc., involving all walks of life.

Henry not only wants to build an Ant Financial Service, but also builds O2O industries such as "Are you hungry" and "Uber"! Right now, apart from Henry's ability to deploy the mobile Internet, other companies can't do anything in a short time, so he has time to deploy calmly!

In addition to the substantial income of the AppStore, the number of music downloads on iTunes has also skyrocketed. A total of 400 million songs have been downloaded, each of which is 0.99 US dollars, and the total revenue is close to 400 million US dollars. Obviously, this data will get bigger and bigger, and no one doesn't like music. With the increase of new songs and iPhone users, it will promote the increase of income!

Currently, Jackson and others are shooting short commercials in Diego. They were shocked when they saw the iPhone so hot, but at the same time ecstatic. Just imagine, what an honor it is to be the endorsement of the iPhone! After the commercials are released, their reputation is bound to rise!

Therefore, during the shooting of the commercial, everyone worked very hard. During the period, they were shocked to hear that Henry designed the iPhone by himself!

Fan Bingbing, Lin Chiling, Liu Yifei and many other actresses admire Henry even more. Unfortunately, Henry has never seen each other since he had dinner with them.

...

On October 20th, Smith, who was in charge of acquiring the company for Henry, came to Henry's office.

"Your Majesty, there is one thing, I think you should be very interested!" Smith bowed slightly and said.

"Let's talk about it, what's the matter!" Henry said lightly.

"Sony Group is actively contacting Bertusmann Group, hoping to merge Bertusmann’s BMG Records and Sony Records, each holding 50% of the shares!" Smithton paused and said, “Your Majesty, Beto Sman Group is a global media and service giant. It operates TV, books, magazines, services and media clubs in more than 50 countries and regions around the world, including RTL Group, a leading entertainment content production and dissemination company in Europe , The world's largest popular book publishing group-Random House, the world's magazine giant-Gunayal, an international media service company-one of the world's largest service providers-Arvato Group, and the world's five largest record companies One-BMG Records..."

"If we can acquire the Bertusmann Group, we will have extremely strong competitiveness in the content media sector, which will help us build a more perfect industrial ecosystem! For example, the current popular iPhone mobile phone, if you can own With more music, books, information, and film and television works, it is impossible for other mobile phone manufacturers to compete with us!"

After Smith finished speaking, he looked at Henry and waited for his instructions.

Do you still have to think about it? Henry said immediately: "Smith, you now go to Germany immediately to get in touch with the Bertusmann Group to complete this acquisition!"

"Yes, then I will set off now!!!" Smith responded and said goodbye to Henry.

"Go!" Henry nodded.

Looking at Smith’s back, Henry showed a smile and murmured: "Of course I will do something good to destroy Sony! What's more, the acquisition of Bertusman Group is so beneficial to him. Once it integrates its resources, The content is extremely powerful!"

Three days later, a message came from Germany, which immediately caused a sensation in the world!

"Williams Royal Investment Company intends to invest 100 billion US dollars to acquire the German Bertusmann Group!"

"Reuters" subsequently reported that: "Some people may be unfamiliar with the Williams Royal Investment Company~www.readwn.com~ But seeing the words'Williams Royal Family', they must also know who this company is. The company! The predecessor of Williams Royal Investment Company was Prestige Capital, but it was just a change of name.

On October 23, the Williams Royal Investment Company suddenly announced that it would acquire the media giant Bertusman Group, which was very surprising. However, after thinking about it, I think it makes sense. iPhone comes with iTunes, iBook, music, videos, books, magazines can not only bring a lot of income to Apple, but also increase the attractiveness and stickiness of users. Therefore, from the iPhone smart phone, we can vaguely spy on the commercial layout of Henry Williams! ! ! "

"Bloomberg" stated: "Henry Williams acquired Bertusman Group, intending to build the strongest smartphone ecosystem!!!"

"..."

In the office of the president of Sony Corporation, President Nobuichi Idei looked angry and furiously said: "How could it be such a coincidence!!! Henry Williams unexpectedly sent someone to acquire Bertelsmann Group on the occasion of the merger of Sony Records and BMG Records." , He must be targeting us!"

With a "pop", Nobuyuki Idei patted the desk vigorously, and his palms turned red due to excessive force.

If Henry heard this, he would definitely laugh at it disdainfully: "It's aimed at you, what!"
