Chapter 1352: Chapter 1076: Choosing a Successor

Achieving such great sales results certainly has a lot to do with Wang Ye’s contributions.

During the inventory preparation stage before the smartphone launch, Boss Qiao wasn’t very confident. Although his new phone was technologically advanced, he had no idea how the sales would turn out.

After all, there were too many precedents where products were outstanding, but the sales were dismal...

Therefore, he had originally planned to sell the first-generation product on a trial basis in the United States, considering it a great success if sales reached over a million within the product cycle!

Then, gather user feedback, improve supply chain integration, increase production, and at the same time, develop the second-generation product. When the second-generation product was launched, he would expand it to the entire North American region, moving step by step.

However, after Wang Ye reviewed his production and sales plan, he proposed a different opinion.

Firstly, Wang Ye suggested investing heavily in the first year to integrate the supply chain properly and prepare sufficient production capacity. Sales would also be phased, starting with the entire North American market at the launch, then depending on sales performance and user reputation, if all went well, go directly to opening up the European and Asian markets, which basically amounted to a global release!

Wang Ye’s plan was obviously much more aggressive than Boss Qiao’s, requiring double the capital investment. Fortunately, as the majority shareholder, he had a significant voice on the board; combined with having convinced Boss Qiao, this led to the current sales figures.

And these sales figures had proven Wang Ye’s foresight; he truly had a long-term vision.

So, when the smartphone sales broke one million, Boss Qiao excitedly called Wang Ye.

"Mr. Mikhail, our phone sales have officially surpassed one million units!

This is a historically significant number, and it seems that your forecast of breaking five million or even ten million in the first year is possible.

Our colleagues responsible for production in the company are all working overtime, urging the processing plants and supply chain partners to produce for us as quickly as possible.

Next, I plan to start selling in Europe. However, because we have very few of our own retail stores in Europe, we can only rely on those communication companies’ sales channels.

I’ve also recently finalized collaborations with several large local communication companies in Europe, planning to start selling Apple phones in the UK, France, Germany, Russia, Italy... and other countries.

At the same time, our company’s own retail stores are going to be fully open in major European cities..."

On the phone, Boss Qiao spoke incessantly, his tone very excited.

Indeed, like he said at the smartphone launch event, it is a great fortune to be involved in something that changes the world in one’s lifetime.

And he had led three products that could change the world tech layout from MAC computers to IPODs and now the Apple phone!

Perhaps it could be said he could die without regrets...

Boss Qiao himself knew that his time was running out. With a terminal illness, even though he could access the world’s top medical resources, it was just a matter of whether he could live for another five years or three, not completely curing his sickness.

So now, he no longer cared about his terminal illness. Being able to live another day was a bonus. Instead, he poured all his time and energy into his work, hoping to produce the most perfect products in his limited time.

To leave something behind for the world.

Sometimes Wang Ye admired people like Boss Qiao, who lived "simply," with clear goals and determination.

Unlike himself, who lived so exhaustingly...

......

After Boss Qiao finished speaking, Wang Ye responded with a laugh:

"Congratulations, Qiao, you really did it.

The Apple phone has been overwhelmingly well-received by the majority of users. I believe the company’s most important job now is to continue increasing production capacity, striving to put this phone in the hands of users all over the world in the shortest time possible.

As I understand, there are already many users in Moscow waiting eagerly for the arrival of the Apple phone."

That was no lie—after all, Wang Ye and numerous executives personally endorsed Apple, providing significant influence.

The Apple retail store in Nalan Yaqi’s Xiao Ying shopping center was also under renovation, and the Communication Company controlled by Constantin had finalized a partnership with Apple, estimating that within three to six months, the Apple phone would officially go on sale in Russia.

Of course, the main countries in Europe were also making progress, perhaps not as quickly as in Russia but not too far behind.

This first-generation Apple phone, before the launch of the second-generation product, would surely be released in most of the major countries across the continents of Europe, Asia, and North America. The sales figures predicted by Wang Ye were hardly in doubt.

"Thank you, Mr. Mikhail. Without your support, Apple wouldn’t have been this smooth.

By the way, I’m preparing to start training a successor. You know my situation—I might meet God any time, haha...

Which of the several executives in the company do you think is most suitable?"

Boss Qiao said cheerfully, even making a rare joke, clearly not taking his illness to heart.

Wang Ye wasn’t one to fuss either. Even as a reborn individual with the ability to "foresee the future," he was powerless in the face of a terminal illness.

Hearing Boss Qiao asking for his opinion, he pondered briefly and then responded without hesitation: "Cook. I think he’s the most suitable!"
