Chapter 2751 The wealth effect of Dream Pad
January 25th, Sunday.
Sunday in China time is also Saturday in the United States, and they are both holidays.
On holidays, white-collar workers usually wake up later, and it is common for them to sleep until noon before getting up.
But today, many people had breakfast early in the morning, sat in front of the computer early, opened the official website of Fairy Company, and stared at the prepayment page of the Dreampad series.
Once they wait until nine o'clock, they will immediately click in and pay for the latest model DreamPad 3.
At Christmas time, Fairy Company released Dreampad 3, and many people were surprised. They felt that it was a big improvement over Dreampad 2, and it was completely worth buying.
But there are also many people who feel that Dreampad 3 is not worth buying, because it is not the kind of earth-shaking changes, and Dreampad 2 has only been out for a year and a half, so there is no need to replace it.
However, there is a social circle in this world, and today's young people are accustomed to comparison and blind obedience. Looking at Fairy Company, as soon as Apple's new products come out, others will replace them with the latest ones, completely ignoring the previous mobile phones or tablets.
After using it for a short time, I feel like I am at the forefront of the trend by using these latest products.
Indeed, people are using the latest electronic products, which can be seen when making phone calls and playing games, but you are only using electronic products from more than a year ago or even longer. In comparison, of course
It is much inferior.
In the workplace, among colleagues and friends, it is rare to praise others for being "thrifty". Most of them are just comparisons. If you are frugal, others will probably call you "stingy", "poor", etc.
It sounds very bad to say such a thing, but in fact it is like this, especially among today's young people, whether it is China.
Driven by this trend, whenever a dazzling electronic product comes out, those who like face and are not short of money will choose to replace it with the latest one as soon as possible, regardless of whether the old electronic product is in good condition or whether it is still there.
Can be used.
If Fairy Company releases a replacement product every three to five months, then there may be fewer people replacing it, but now it only replaces it every 18 months. What else should I not dare to buy? The flowers have withered after waiting!
With such a mentality, it is not surprising that the DreamPad 3, which went on sale this time at nine o'clock, was all sold out within fifteen minutes.
In the electronics industry, there is not much to say about the success of Dreampad 3. Anyway, since the first Dreampad came out, it has occupied the top spot in smart tablets and has never been shaken.
Whether it is a Samsung or Google tablet, although the sales volume is not bad, it is definitely not as popular as the Dreampad series.
The reason is of course not just because the Dreampad is the first smart electronic product and the first tablet computer. The bigger reason is that Fairy Company has invested a lot of effort in the Dreampad, and its sincerity is also very great.
It is sufficient and is definitely not comparable to Nokia's "shell-changing" strategy.
Thousands of engineers related to the Fairy Labs dreampad project have not had much rest since the dreampad was developed. The dreampad2 and dreampad3 series have been in development for seventeen or eighty months each time, and the changes and improvements involved have not been less than 5o.
% of the changes in .dreampad3 compared to dreampad2 are over 6o%!
When Fairy Company was developing DreamPad 3, it had more than 300 registered patents, and more than 60 functions had breakthroughs or improvements...
And all these improvements are very intuitive to fans when they go to the Fairy Direct Store to experience them, and they receive rave reviews.
Otherwise, those fashionable men and women are not stupid. If they spend so much money to buy a certain product, they will not only fail to look cool, but will also be laughed at. How can that be done?
In fact, Fairy Company's products have never let them down. Whether it is the stylish appearance or strong internal quality, as well as the countless fun and useful programs provided by the App Store, they feel that their money is worth their money.
Regardless of whether you are using a mobile phone from the App Store camp, you have to admit that the best and most beautiful mobile phones in the world are only Apple’s iPhone series and Fairy Company’s Dreamstars series, and the rest are inferior.
Especially users from the Android Alliance and Microsoft Alliance are often made fun of by users from the AppStore Alliance.
Not to mention the hardware performance, Samsung, Apple and Fairy are definitely world-class. In terms of software alone, even the Android Alliance and Microsoft Alliance cannot match it.
First, systems that have been optimized for use by the three giants of the app store, whether it is the Android system or the inphone system, are still in the exploratory stage. There have not been a few updates now. Naturally, they need to be adjusted. It is not as easy to use as the three giants of the app store.
So smooth.
And the most important thing is the killer app store.
Originally, in July, there were only 1.6 million paid apps in the app store, but now it has grown by leaps and bounds to 2.2 million. The joy of this kind of game and program explosion makes the users of the app store extremely happy.
I buy new apps to play with every night.
Their enthusiastic purchases made the app store's turnover reach US$7 billion in December. If you just look at this sales data, you would not think that this is a financial crisis.
In contrast, although both the Android Store and the Microsoft Store have made progress, especially the number of paid apps in the Microsoft Alliance has soared to 1.5 million, which is the same as the Android Store. People can't help but lament the strength of Microsoft, but whether it is
In terms of quantity or quality, the two companies are not on the same level as the app store.
Today, designers or companies with over 500,000 app stores are unwilling to give up the exclusivity of the app store and sign contracts with Microsoft and Android. This is an excellent proof.
In terms of appearance design, hardware configuration, software tuning, user experience, etc., the three giants of the App Store are obviously superior to other companies. Why do you think people don't like the products of Samsung, Apple and Fairy Company?
To be more detailed, Fairy Company, which owns the largest number of shares in the App Store and has three killer products such as Dreampad, Dreamstars, and Dreamsno, has naturally surpassed Apple, which only has one iPhone, and has become the most profitable and most powerful company in the smart electronics industry.
Influential company.
Talking about the Dreampad series alone, the Dreampad series has been sold 37 times so far, including accessories, etc., which has brought a total of over 57.66 billion US dollars in after-tax net income to Fairy Company and other shareholders.
Ellison, the Oracle boss with the smallest shareholding, also received a dividend of US$911 million with his 1.58% shareholding!
Don’t think that $911 million is not enough!
You know, the Dreampad series has been on sale since December 25, 2006, and it has only been about three years now. Ellison only used Oracle stock worth 2 billion US dollars in exchange for 1.58% of Dreampad stock. Three years
Almost half of the time has come back. Can’t this be called a very good business?
In addition, due to its good sales and development potential, Dreampad is now valued at more than 25 billion U.S. dollars. The value of Ellison’s stock has reached 3.95 billion U.S. dollars, which has almost doubled in three years. This is another
It’s a big income!
Even Ellison, the smallest shareholder, has gained so much, not to mention Li Jianxi, Branson, lvmh, Green Pine Capital and Fairy Company themselves. Everyone has made a lot of money and can't help laughing.
Mouth.
Of course, it’s not that no one is jealous. People on Wall Street often comment that because tablets have never been a mainstream electronic device, and their future development space is definitely not as big as mobile phones, the valuation of DreamPad is too high, and it can be cut in half.
The valuation is considered normal.
But correspondingly, more than 50 fund companies, angel investment companies, etc. came to people who owned Dreampad shares and wanted to use the valuation price of 10% to buy the Dreampad in their hands.
shares.
According to what Xiao Qi knew, none of these shareholders were tempted.
Even Branson, who originally borrowed money to buy 5% of the shares, has already invested the 5% of the shares in his family fund in advance, making it the key to maintaining prosperity for the family for hundreds of years.
Ellison has a similar idea. He is already planning to divide his 1.58% shares equally between his two children, so that they can have a piece of property that can be passed down.
lvmh and Green Pine Capital think more simply. They directly regard the purchase of Dreampad shares as one of their most successful investment cases. They rely on this to attract more investors. How can they do it for a small amount of money?
And sell?
No one who can participate in dreampad stock investment is stupid!
