Chapter 34 Sun Zhengyi's Last Copy
The earthquake was an emergency and no one expected it. The workload caused by this was also completely temporarily stuffed in, making Gu Cheng very busy.
After all, he is a public figure at the forcing king level. Even if most of the work of the executive level can be taken care of by the people below, meetings, interviews, and public activities alone are enough for Gu Cheng to go on a month without rest.
May passed by crazy busyness and catharsis. Gu Cheng didn't even stop to look at the report and experience the joy of stage victory.
One "small goals" after another, there is no time to report after completing it until it naturally gathers into a big goal.
A series of occasional pursuits, after you finished singing the eye-catching farce of me, it took more than a month to gradually calm down.
By the end of June, when the summer vacation is about to begin, the sales of Aimi mobile phone Beidou versions due to major majors in the southwestern provinces seeking attention to the subsidies for enterprises following the trend, have accumulated nearly 3 million units.
Other subsidies are not subsidized, and subsidy machines purchased by private individuals, as well as the original price machines purchased by a few local tyrants in the seven southwest provinces, totaling nearly 2 million units.
At the same time, other eastern provinces originally sold more than 100,000 units in mid-May, the first month after the release of Aimi mobile phones.
From mid-May to the end of June, the month and a half, because of Aimi's crazy reputation and social responsibility, Beidou Navigation's style is full of style, the show-offs of survival craziers, and the combined effects of various factors have almost produced a blowout driving effect.
By the end of June, the cumulative sales of Aimi mobile phones in East China and South China reached 3.3 million units. The total sales in the northern region reached 1.9 million units.
Nationwide, at the end of the second quarter, Aimi Mobile's total sales successfully exceeded 10 million Taiwan mark.
Although this achievement is not comparable to Apple, Samsung and Huawei's sales of over 100 million ten years later, in the era when smartphones just rose, it was enough to shock the world that the glasses were broken. The annual global sales target of iPhone-3g that Jobs originally set was only 10 million units. Gu Cheng completed the same indicator in just one quarter.
Although this quarter has greatly overdrawn the purchasing power and patriotic enthusiasm of the people, and even the people's pride in their own technology.
Industry insiders generally analyzed: In the following three quarters, the sales volume in eastern and northern provinces in each quarter will only be maintained at around 70 to 80% of the second quarter of 2008. The markets in the seven southwest provinces will completely shrink due to overdraft in the next three quarters. Therefore, by the end of 2008, the total sales of Aimi mobile phones are unlikely to exceed 18 million units, and by the first anniversary of its launch in April 2009, it can reach up to 22 million units.
This number is more than twice the sales task of the iPhone-3g anniversary set by Jobs. Now that there are so many scandals, Apple's market in China this year is at least half of the loss than Jobs expected at the beginning. Its global performance can maintain 8 million units, even if Jobs is capable.
The most important thing is that while Gu Cheng lowered the price and promoted the promotion, it did not damage the brand positioning and style of Aimi mobile phones, and did not make consumers take it for granted that this is a bargain, cost-effective mobile phone.
Once the Android app ecosystem prospers in the future, the next generation of Aimi mobile phones will increase quality and price, and the psychological expectations of consumers will not be significantly impacted.
I forgot to say that the expectation of "sold 22 million units in 12 natural months" only considers the domestic market in China.
Originally, the overseas distribution channels expected by yy Electronics Company will not start to be opened during the summer vacation.
After all, this is the first time that YY Electronics has made a mobile phone. Early products always have various small problems. For example, CPU voltage is too sensitive and it will be automatically restarted every few days. After using it for a long time, memory leaks storage fragments... These problems always require large-scale pressure measurements and some small adjustments to be done before they can be optimized.
When the technical details are polished and shipped to overseas markets, it can prevent the reputation from being damaged. Although doing so is suspected of treating the people of their own people as guinea pigs, there is no way to do it because all peers do this. Huawei's early base stations also had a reputation of "very bad quality, affordable price, and good service". They rely entirely on the modesty and low-price war of "change it immediately" and the low-price war. After many years of hardening, Huawei's quality reputation was built.
This is a natural law, and Gu Cheng has no intention of demanding.
Now, just as the domestic Aimi mobile phone layout has expanded rapidly due to a series of incidents, the original overseas distribution plan has also come to the point of putting it on the agenda.
...
July 1, Tokyo, Roppongi, SoftBank Group Headquarters.
Compared with two and a half years ago, Sun Zhengyi seemed to be ten years older. His physiological age was only in his early 50s. However, judging from his appearance, he was already an old man in his sixties.
The gray-white hair is now completely white.
In the past two years, he has been maintaining his control over SoftBank in a precarious manner. More than two years ago, he invested in a large amount of debt-to-equity conversion for Tengyun, worth billions of dollars, betting on Tengyun's data and user base are enough to fight yy network technology in the era of artificial intelligence.
However, in the past two years, Tengyun's improvement has not been very good. Even if the cash flow problem is relatively abundant, the amount of money spent is not inferior to Gu Cheng's yy Network Technology. However, the shortcomings in user big data collection and the slow start of cloud computing have forced Tengyun to spend more resources on algorithm efficiency to barely flatten it.
This is simply an impossible task.
Fortunately, Tengyun in this time and space also knows that his profitability is very problematic and cannot be separated from SoftBank's cash flow support, so his attitude towards Sun Zhengyi's maturity debt-to-equity conversion is quite harmonious. He openly recognized the billions of dollars invested in Sun Zhengyi in the past two years and exchanged them for shares, so Sun Zhengyi was not forced to step down by SoftBank's major shareholder team.
It is not worth wondering about the fact that Tengyun Company, which has caused this phenomenon, has entered the first peak period of money-making in the online game industry since 2007 and 2008. With the popularity of CrossFire and toxic milk powder, tens of millions of primary school students have become stronger in Tengyun's games, contributing billions of RMB in revenue every year.
And even all kinds of QQ candy imitated from Pupupatang, QQ speed imitated from Paopao Kart, QQ dance imitated from Jindian Troupe... A large number of refined and imitated small online games with smooth "user experience" have jointly supported the huge cash cow circle of Tengyun Company in the online game industry.
And now in this time and space, it is obviously impossible for Tengyun to make travel layouts.
In fact, except for the two cash cows, poisonous milk powder and Cross Fire, other imitation games such as QQ sugar, QQ Speed, QQ Xuanwu, etc. have been wiped out by YY Entertainment's more refined and conscientious similar products. The success of those QQ games in history was entirely achieved by polishing the smoothness and the huge user size of QQ. There is no technical threshold or core competitiveness.
Nowadays, yy's platform is more than twice as big as QQ. People started out professionally in gaming and voice chat. As long as yy is willing to do it and is more conscientious, it can completely block the road to QQ.
Tengyun Company, which lacks these games, has a cash flow revenue in the online game industry down by 60% compared with the same period in history, of which about 35% is because these peripheral games have been destroyed by peers, and 25% is because the scale of paid users of toxic milk powder and CrossFire itself is also half smaller than that of the same period in history.
Because the user scale of QQ itself is half smaller than that of the same period in history.
These revenue declines, coupled with much more artificial intelligence and cloud computing layout expenses than in the same period in history, make it impossible for Tencent to repay Sun Zhengyi's convertible bonds.
As of early July 2008, the US$4 billion in cash flow invested by Sun Zhengyi's SoftBank Group in the past two years has become a 16% stake in Tengyun Company. SoftBank is already the second largest shareholder of Tengyun Company, second only to holding 28%, which is more than the two co-founders. Ma Teng personally has 12% and Zhang Zhidong 3.5%.
On July 1, 2008, Tengyun's market value in the Hong Kong stock market was US$33.7 billion. SoftBank's 16% equity value was US$5.4 billion compared to the 4 billion cash invested in the past two years ago, it has appreciated by about 30%, which is a relatively stable investment.
If Tengyun Company can maintain it, it will not reveal more declines in the subsequent competition with yy Network Technology in the future, resulting in a plummeting stock price. Sun Zhengyi will not have to worry about being kicked off by the major shareholder of SoftBank.
SoftBank, which lost Ali's equity, accidentally became Tengyun's major shareholder. This change really made Gu Cheng sigh and sighed in secretly that the butterfly effect he had caused over the years was so powerful.
In the past two years, Sun Zhengyi has not felt the joy of returning to the scene. For example, in 2007, in order to snipe YY and even retaliate against Gu Cheng for the revenge of the pornographic Edge network, Huaxia Mobile announced a strategic cooperation with Tengyun after the "Feixin" project failed and launched a QQ traffic-free package. Sun Zhengyi was ecstatic for a while, thinking that his investment was finally about to be operated.
For example, a few months ago, when I heard that Li Ying and Jobs had a complete collapse of the talks. When yy.com/Renren.com/yy refused to launch the iOS version of the app, Sun Zhengyi was also ecstatic for a while. Seeing Apple phones being shipped in hundreds of thousands of places in the Chinese market, and these hundreds of thousands of phones were all equipped with QQ. Without YY, Sun Zhengyi almost had to wake up laughing in his dream.
Unfortunately, the final facts prove that these are just spring dreams and have no lastingness. After a few seconds of pleasure, you have to endure endless pain in the Sage Mode.
In recent days, Sun Zhengyi has always had a bad premonition, and it seems that there will be some more violent backlash symptoms of the sage pattern.
Just as Sun Zhengyi was thinking about the persecution, his office door was pushed open.
My confidant Ahn Benzhishu walked in with an ugly expression: "Uncle, there are two bad news, which one do you want to listen to first?" 8)
