Chapter 1373 A cloud of sorrow
Lianchuang Technology will promote products ranging from 400 to 600 yuan in the low-end market in the future, and the mid- and high-end markets will focus on smartphones. As soon as this news came out, it instantly scared Motorola, Nokia, and Sony Ericsson in the "Anti-Lianchuang Technology Alliance".
Isn't this meaning of Lianchuang Technology equivalent to the price of entry-level products in the future that the mobile phone market will be reduced to more than 40 US dollars? Damn it, everyone will make some money in wool! As for the mid- and high-end markets, they don't think that their feature phones can be compared with other people's smartphones.
The giants like ibm and Intel are fine, but Lianchuang Technology's actions have little impact on them, but Microsoft, Motorola, Nokia and Sony Ericsson immediately held an emergency video conference, and there was a line of words written on each side: It's a big trouble.
The person who represented Microsoft to attend this video conference was the nominal leader of Microsoft, Steve Ballmer, and Comrade Bao's iconic fat face, without the bright smile of the past. Although the air temperature in the room was very suitable, he kept wiping his sweat: "Gentlemen, before the meeting begins, I must inform you of a message: Microsoft has contacted Lianchuang Technology before, but Lianchuang Technology insists that any manufacturer can obtain free linuphone authorization, and each mobile phone only charges a project team maintenance fee of $0.99."
Motorola, Nokia and Sony Ericsson all frowned: This is really bad news!
If they are familiar with Chinese culture, they will definitely think of the classic quote: It rains all night long, and the boat is slow and the wind is coming to the head.
For Motorola, Sony Ericsson and Nokia, there is no worse situation than now, especially Nokia. Originally, Nokia's rise was largely dependent on the explosion of the Republic's mobile communications market, which made Nokia jump from a small Nordic mobile communications operator to the world's top giant. However, because of Lianchuang's halfway blocking, everything is different from the scheduled trajectory. Although Nokia has also made a lot of cheaper in the explosion of the Republic's mobile communications market. Unfortunately, the largest piece of cake was not eaten by Nokia. Although Nokia is also a world-class mobile communications brand and telecommunications overall solution provider, its position in the industry is far from the height of later generations, and it can only be regarded as a first-ranking telecommunications company.
Ke Dechuan said expressionlessly: "There is even worse news."
There is even worse news? Ballmer, Edward Jander and John Wien trembled when they heard it: Is there any worse news than this? This is really... It's a puppy!
Without waiting for others to ask, Ke Dechuan said: "We obtained the low-cost introductory mobile phone solution from Lianchuang Technology through special channels. According to our analysis, as long as the production scale can reach 30 million, the cost can be reduced to about US$10."
Edward Jander was so scared that he almost slipped out under the table and said tremblingly: "$10! Mr. Ke Dechuan, now is not a time to joke!"
Everyone's reaction was similar to Edward Jander, although he didn't walk out directly to the table, but his face was more than ugly?
"Just kidding? Do you think I'm going to kid at this time?" Ke Dechuan asked back.
Edward Jander was speechless. Yes, is this something that can be joked about? But...
"How could it be?" Edward Jander murmured. He still couldn't imagine that the cost of a phone was only $10, even if the production scale reached 30 million, it would be impossible?
"I'm also surprised by this," Ke Dechuan looked similar to his dead mother, and said painfully: "At first, I thought there was an error in this data, but after repeated verification, I found that the number could even be pushed down a little further. The worst thing is that all the spare parts needed on this phone are produced by Chinese people themselves."
The other three trembled together: Can you suppress it again? If a phone is really reduced to $10, will your own products still have a way out?
"TSMC and UMC probably already know this news?" Edward Zhande suddenly thought of the excuses and reasons he used to suppress TSMC and UMC before, and asked quickly.
Steve Ballmer and John Wien were stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood why Edward Jander asked this question: If all the spare parts of such low-cost mobile phones can be produced by themselves, will UMC and TSMC still stand with them?
Very slim!
Previously, TSMC and UMC agreed to help them get the neck of Lianchuang Technology. In addition to their fear of American fathers, there is another very important reason that they can gain long-term benefits. But now, when Lianchuang Technology has shown their muscles, will the companies on the island do it according to the previous agreement?
Stop kidding!
What to do? Although it was a video conference, the pessimistic atmosphere began to spread among the four people.
Steve Ballmer's eyes lit up suddenly and he said, "Maybe we can let our government put pressure on the mainland government?"
"Are you kidding?" John Wien looked at Steve Ballmer in surprise: "Do you think that facing this opportunity to finally interfere with telecommunications standards, the Chinese will let go because of a little pressure from your US government?"
Don't be too naive, okay?
Steve Ballmer slapped his lips twice: He also felt that his ideas were really bad. Although the Chinese had no choice but to deal with the US government on many issues, they were also the fifth largest economy in the world. They were one of the five permanent members of the United Nations. They were by no means salty fish that could be bullied. In fact, with the rapid development of economic strength, Americans were actually less and less confident when facing the Chinese people. This can be seen from the change in attitude towards China in the past two years of the Bush administration.
Since it was a bad idea, shut up obediently. Steve Ballmer touched his big bald head and frowned again...
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
At a time when Nokia, Microsoft, Sony Ericsson and Motorola were frowning about how to resolve the current dilemma, the bosses of the two major chip foundry giants on the island: Zhang Zhongmou and Cao Xingcheng were gathered together to drink a small wine. Compared with the frowning Steve Ballmer, John Wien, Edward Jander and Ke Dechuan, Zhang Zhongmou and Cao Xingcheng were full of admiration on their faces.
"Come on, Brother Cao, let's have a drink," Zhang Zhongmou raised his glass and said to Cao Xingcheng: "I really didn't expect that kid was so powerful."
"Who said no?" Cao Xingcheng drank it all, his face full of emotion as "the next wave of the Yangtze River pushes the previous wave": "A dead end that seems to be dead, actually let this kid do his life... Brother, brother, I really want to thank you very much."
Cao Xingcheng really wants to thank Zhang Zhongmou. When Garrix came to find him, his head became hot and he felt that no matter how awesome Lin Zheng was, he could not win such a powerful opponent as the "Anti-Lianchuang Technology Alliance". He inserted it at this time. Although he couldn't make any meat, he could still take a sip of the soup. He was so excited that he wanted to take advantage of the situation.
If it weren't for Zhang Zhongmou's call at this time and advised him to see the situation before making a decision, Cao Xingcheng might have offended Lin Zheng to death. If he had really offended Lin Zheng to death, Lin Zheng pulled out his hand at this moment, who was the first person to deal with? It should be those in China who had gained benefits from Lianchuang Technology but eventually betrayed Lin Zheng, but in the second wave, he definitely had his own UV!
Although Cao Xingcheng didn't know what means that Lin Zheng would use to deal with him, he could come up with seven or eight kinds of ways to fight him, and the gentlest one could make him anxious. If that boy was a little more ruthless, he might be waiting for him. Because of this, Cao Xingcheng invited this meal tonight... When Zhang Zhongmou did this great favor, he should do this himself.
"You're so polite, everyone is brother," said Zhang Zhongmou, waved his hand, and signaled Cao Xingcheng not to take this matter to heart, and said with emotion: "To put it, this kid is really cruel... Brother Cao, what are you planning next?"
"Next?" Cao Xingcheng held the wine glass and pondered for a moment. To be honest, he was a little hesitant. According to the situation, it was not important whether UMC stopped producing LTD for LTD Technology, but the problem is that the United States has not spoken yet. With a wry smile, Cao Xingcheng said: "Brother, I understand what you mean, but... it is not easy to explain to the United States."
"Explanation?" Zhang Zhongmou snorted disdainfully and said contemptuously: "What are you explaining? What are you trying to explain? They were beaten like dogs by themselves, and they still have the face to find compensation from us?"
"This is hard to say," Cao Xingcheng knew that what Zhang Zhongmou was telling the truth? But he still shook his head and said, "The Americans can't do anything with that kid now, but we can deal with us..." With a wry smile, Cao Xingcheng said, "It's really not a lot of effort."
This is the truth!
Although Zhang Zhongmou said it was tough, if he hadn't been a little confused, why would he agree to Cao Xingcheng's invitation so happily? Isn't it just like Cao Xingcheng, who is afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back? At this time, the two of them really felt that they were the unlucky mouse in the bellows, and both ends were angry!
A headache!
Lin Zheng didn’t have a headache. Not only did he not have a headache, he was also surprised that Comrade Lao Qiao would actually invite him and pointed at him. Lin Zheng asked Comrade Lao Qiao opposite the video: "Old Qiao, are you right? Are you Apple going to cooperate with our Lisheng Electronics?"
"That's right," Qiao Da Gang leader nodded and asked seriously: "Since Motorola can cooperate with Microsoft, Apple and your Lianchuang Technology, is there any problem?" (To be continued.)
