Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

   Chapter 335 Genius Ideas

  Put on the white Apple earphones, press the power button, and Wang Ye listened to it.

   then commented with a smile: "Perfect product! It sounds like the sound quality is better than any MP3 I've ever used before."

   He said these words in Russian, and naturally the translator next to him told them to Gang Master Qiao in English.

Gangzhu Qiao smiled smugly, "That's natural, because we use a special format on our IPOD and require the copyright owner of the song to provide high-quality original songs. Because the capacity of MP3s outside is too small, we compress the songs as much as possible. , the musical details are all lost, and naturally it doesn't sound as good as our IPOD..."

   He talked about a lot of advantages of Apple IPOD, including high quality songs, large capacity, advanced manufacturing process, etc.

   Wang Ye suddenly asked: "But I heard that this product doesn't seem to sell very well, is it true?"

   Joe's gang leader was embarrassed all of a sudden.

   After a pause, he tried to explain: "This is only temporary! The key is that we haven't been authorized by enough music companies, so there are fewer songs, and sales channels have not been established, so sales are not good."

   "Then have you figured out how to solve this problem?" Wang Ye asked.

   "Of course, we already have a detailed plan, and we can start when the funds are in place." Gang Leader Qiao said confidently.

   Wang Ye really has nothing to "teach" Qiao Gang Master, even if he is a reborn person!

  Wang Ye still has self-knowledge...

  …………

   "By the way, apart from this IPOD, is Apple still preparing new products?" Wang Ye changed the subject.

   What he wanted to ask was naturally the truly trans-generational product IPHONE...

   Now this IPOD is also a good product, it can help Apple make a lot of money, but it is not enough!

   The product that can truly make Apple the world's largest company by market value, there is and only IPHONE!

  Qiao Gang leader was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "No, all the company's centers are now placed on IPOD, and there are no plans for other products for the time being."

   It is no wonder that with Apple's current strength, it is indeed not enough to support them to develop several new products at a time.

   Just such an IPOD almost brought down the company, let alone any other new products.

  Wang Ye nodded, picked up the silver-white IPOD and rubbed the smooth aluminum-magnesium alloy casing, and said deliberately: "This product is really good in craftsmanship, and it is very simple to use. Seeing this, I think of something."

   said, he took out his mobile phone, Nokia 3310...

With a smile, he said to Gang Master Qiao: "Look, most of today's mobile phones have plastic casings, the craftsmanship is very rough, and the functions are very simple. But it is the most convenient communication tool at present, and it is impossible for people to leave it. I just thought, it would be great if the IPOD could have a communication function. Not only can I listen to high-quality music, but I can also make phone calls, especially since this product is so beautifully made.”

   Hearing Wang Ye's words, Gang Leader Qiao's eyes gradually lit up.

He nodded thoughtfully and said excitedly: "Mikhail, you are really a genius idea! If you can really make such a product, it will definitely be popular all over the world! But such a product, the development of The amount of work is definitely huge, and it can’t be done in a while.”

  What Wang Ye wanted was his words...

  In the "previous life", Apple's mobile phone should not really start preparations until four years later, when it came out, it was already 2007.

   And the first-generation products actually had quite a few problems, and they didn’t really take the world by storm.

   Now that we have the funds and inspiration of Wangye, it is estimated that Gangzhu Qiao can start developing mobile phones earlier, which will not only be able to go to market earlier, but also make it more perfect!

   As for how to develop mobile phones, Wang Ye is not good at these things, and he does not intend to intervene. It is good to leave it to Gang Master Qiao and Cook to figure it out by themselves.

   After all, professional things are still left to professional people to do.

  …………

  Things went more smoothly than Wang Ye expected, and on the next day, while he was resting in his hotel in San Francisco, Milner came to his room excitedly.

   "Boss, I just received a call from Cook saying that the board of directors has approved the financing plan for this share expansion!"

   It seems that after Wang Ye and the others left last night, Apple held a board meeting overnight...

   This also shows that Apple's situation is really difficult, and they are eager to find funds to save themselves!

In this case, Wang Ye certainly wouldn't hesitate, he nodded and said: "That's good, you and the other side discuss it, find a time in the next two days to go through the formalities directly and transfer the funds. We will come here this time. , the target is not just Apple, there are more than 300 million US dollars left, and it should be possible to invest in one or two companies."

  There are two other goals of Wangye, that is, Amazon and Google!

   These two companies are pure Internet companies. After last year's Internet winter, the company's market value and valuation have fallen to the bottom.

   However, although Amazon’s company value has fallen a lot, it is still not low, close to seven or eight billion dollars.

   And Google has not yet been listed, but as the search engine website with the highest market share in the United States, its valuation is obviously not too low.

   In fact, Wang Ye is not determined to win these two companies. His main target is Apple.

   Amazon and Google will be considered only after the priority is guaranteed to be able to invest in shares and get as many Apple shares as possible.

   has now become the largest shareholder of Apple, and there is still a lot of funds left in the branch, so you can consider investing in Amazon and Google.

   After all, as long as you can get the stocks of the two companies, the return on investment is quite amazing!

  To make money, it is never too much.

  …………

   Milner, Wang Ye did not choose wrongly.

   He has also been involved in the financial industry in the United States for many years. Although he later returned to Russia to develop, he still has a relatively wide network of contacts here.

  With Milner's contact, and Wang Yexuan's timing is indeed very good, the plan to invest in Google was soon reached.

   Invested 200 million US dollars and got a 5% stake in the unlisted Google company.

   At this time, Google’s valuation has reached four billion dollars!

   is to invest in the winter of the Internet, otherwise, it is estimated that the valuation has exceeded 10 billion US dollars!

  Wang Ye also knew that three years later, on the day Google went public, the company's market value would directly reach US$40 billion!

After investing in Google, there is not much money left, and there is no need to talk to Amazon about financing and expanding shares. Wang Ye instructed Milner to directly buy some Amazon shares in the secondary market. .

  This trip to the United States, the business has been completed, Wang Ye and the others are ready to return to Russia.

  As a result, the night before departure, an accident happened...
