.
The second day of the China Internet Industry Conference was far more lively than the first day, and what was even more unique was that everyone was discussing the situation of Yike.
A serious conflict broke out between Mr. Fang and BIS?
Can the conflict between Yike and important markets not be alleviated?
The media from all walks of life have devoted themselves to writing special reports on Yike and Mr. Fang?
A suspicion surrounding Yike was kicked off by the leak of a phone call recording, and what was seen through this corner was that Mr. Fang was fucking someone inside...
Don't talk about others, even Ma Min rarely gossips like this. He even sat directly next to Pony to discuss Yike's present and future. Pony originally didn't want to come today. After hearing about the recording scandal last night,
Reconfirm attendance immediately.
When the head of Yike walked in, the originally lively venue seemed to be muted with a click of a button, and the excitement of many people had no time to fade away, so Mr. Fang's inadvertent eyes froze on his face again.
Mr. Fang actually came over today?
This similar surprise made Ma Ren, who turned around, stand up immediately. He also stepped forward to greet him, and warmly led the person in the center of the whirlpool to sit on his side.
Seeing the three YAT people sitting together, whispers started to sound again in the venue.
After asking Mr. Fang to take a seat, Ma Chen asked three questions in a row:
"Aren't you?"
"Really?"
"Do you really want to go?"
Fang Zhuo didn't answer, knowing what he was asking.
Ma Ren has led Alibaba's strategic expansion this year. One of the reasons is his judgment on Yike's competitor. However, to truly verify it to a certain extent, and now seeing the look on the face of the man in front of him, he was still shocked.
.
He looked left and right, and everyone else was keeping their distance. It was the three of him who were talking, and he could only say to Pony: "Fuck, Mr. Fang is still awesome!"
Pony didn't hear Mr. Fang's answer, but he also felt that he got a silent answer, and it was hard to disagree and nodded.
Ma Ren raised his thumb and sighed: "It's not a shame that Duji and Penguin died in the hands of people like you!"
Pony was choked when he was about to speak, his breath stuck in his throat, and he coughed repeatedly.
Fang Zhuo said at this time: "Ali is just waiting for Yi Ke to deal with the situation on Ami's side, right?"
"Mr. Fang, what do you want me to say?" Ma Min was a little embarrassed. Normal competition didn't sound very fair, but the two of them couldn't be fair.
"Pour Pony a glass of water first, don't choke him to death." Fang Zhuo whispered, and Mr. Ma didn't need to answer the question.
Pony calmed down and couldn't bear the mood of the past two days. He pointed out a question: "I would like to see how Alibaba will respond to Yigou's expansion of the short video platform! Is Yike just Yike? I'll just take a look.
Which one is better, the Yike type or the Ali type?"
Ma Chen's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Fang Zhuo, suddenly finding a tacit understanding.
Fang Zhuo said leisurely: "Does Penguin still want to wait until both sides suffer? Why don't Yi Ke and Ali join forces to eat Penguin first?"
"Yike and Alibaba have started full-scale competition, can they stop?" Pony was not afraid.
"You're kidding, Pony, you know me, I love joking the most." Fang Zhuo shook his head.
Pony knows this and knows that Mr. Fang likes to make jokes that make him laugh.
"Mr. Fang, are you joking when you scold someone on the phone?" Ma Chen changed the subject.
Fang Zhuo looked at Ma Chen and said slowly: "Mr. Ma is a bit aggressive today. Do you have to listen to what I have to say?"
"I'm just curious." Ma Chen said with a smile, "Not only am I curious, but Pony is also curious. It's not just us who are curious, maybe everyone here is curious, but if you don't want to say it, forget it."
Fang Zhuo was uncharacteristically: "Since you ask that, I have to say it."
Ma Ren and Pony stared at Mr. Fang, feeling that he was probably going to make a joke again, but they felt lucky to hear the real answer.
"What happens to Yike still needs to be decided by the board of directors." Fang Zhuo said.
As expected, Ma Ren and Pony heard the joke.
"But no matter what happens to Yike, this time we really want to do Alibaba's e-commerce business." Fang Zhuoping said straightforwardly about the next stage of domestic competition.
Ma Ren couldn't laugh or cry: "You made Yike so conflicted with the outside world, and then you turned around and came to fuck me. What's your logic?"
He pointed at Pony next to him: "Aren't you going to acquire Duji? You are so crazy, why don't you just kill the penguin completely?"
Fang Zhuo glanced at Pony, with a look of eagerness in his eyes, and answered Mr. Ma's logical question: "There is no other, but I am familiar with it."
Ma Ren: "..."
Pony: "..."
A few seconds later, Ma Chen slightly sarcastically said: "If Yike could do it, he would have done it long ago."
Fang Zhuo shook his head: "Old Ma, times have changed."
Although Yike did encounter problems, the e-commerce offensive has already been set up.
The horse felt like it was in his throat, and when he looked at Mr. Fang's serious eyes, he turned to Pony and said, "Today is a special situation. Let's not mess with people like him who just go out and fuck other people when they have nothing to do. He is really crazy."
Pony nodded in agreement, but didn't think Mr. Fang was just having fun with his words.
As a former traffic overlord, the taste of that kind of traffic...
Now looking back on the past few years, Yike has seized the evolution from 2G to 3G and seized Penguin's position in the field of mobile communications. Now from 3G to 4G, new video-based performances have emerged. Who knows what new developments will emerge in the e-commerce business?
profound changes?
He believed that Ma Chen could not have been unaware of the danger. On the contrary, he might have felt it was very dangerous, which is why Alibaba has launched massive attacks and crazy expansion in various fields this year.
However, Alibaba’s social media platforms have never achieved much results. Even Penguin’s QQ has been siphoned off traffic by Yike, not to mention Alibaba’s desire to achieve a breakthrough...
This kind of difficulty in breaking through and cooperating with the "Alibaba traffic theory" put forward by Mr. Fang yesterday is like a rope slowly approaching the neck.
At exactly this time, Mr. Fang’s recording scandal broke out!
From this point of view, Pony felt that God was helping him. It wasn't that Ali would definitely win, but...if it hadn't happened, Ali would have been even worse.
As Ma Chen said just now, Mr. Fang is crazy, don’t mess with him, but if you don’t mess with the madman, he won’t come...
Mr. Fang used to be so sharp and sharp, but now that Yi Ke may have been injured abroad, I'm afraid it's not like Ouyang Feng, who practiced the Nine Yin Manual in reverse, and is even more crazy and sharp!
"Don't mess with him." Pony seemed to listen to the advice and pointed to the host on stage, indicating that today's meeting was about to begin. But in the end, the other party always said, "I don't believe that Alibaba's e-commerce can be killed by Yike.
."
Ma Ren glanced at Pony, what if he didn't say anything.
Internet industry conferences will be held as usual.
However, today's meeting was always filled with whispers, and the topic couldn't be separated from the three YAT people, mainly focusing on Yike and Mr. Fang.
If he hadn't been sitting in the front row and if there wasn't someone to whisper to next to him, Ma Yan would have wanted to whisper too. Although he had interrupted his communication with Mr. Fang, the other person's words still held great weight.
Ma Chen himself thought about the competition in Alibaba’s core business for a while, and also calculated the business development in multiple fields. He believed that the business boundaries that short videos can expand remain to be seen. Moreover, Taobao and Tmall have brands and inertia, and their own
Shopping videos can also be enabled on Taobao software.
New forms of competition always require trial and error to know the effect.
However, this time I felt Mr. Fang’s determination and enthusiasm in person, which was indeed a good opportunity for the Alibaba team to attack.
Ma Min looked at Mr. Fang who was listening to the speech on the stage. He always felt that Bingxin could not escape the restrictions due to the sensitivity of the industry, but Yike seemed to have room for maneuver because of the sensitivity of the industry. However... Mr. Fang did have some room for maneuver.
Qualification determines Yike's fate, whether that fate is good or bad.
However, overall, I'm afraid it can only be broken.
The second day of the Internet industry conference ended in whispers. The head of Yike took the stage in the evening, but he was talking about mobile Internet, ecological development, and the changes brought about by short videos.
Admittedly, this is indeed a hot topic nowadays, and Mr. Fang’s sharing is also very informative.
But it is really difficult for everyone to care about this now. They only pay attention to the next direction of Mr. Fang and Yike. There are many people who have become anxious when they see Mr. Fang talking about mobile Internet leisurely.
Mr. Fang, Fang Crazy...you are like that in private, so don't do it on the surface anymore...
The meeting ended with no additional interviews. The parties at the center of the whirlpool left quickly and would not attend the third day of the set interview session.
This made the media who confirmed the news extremely disappointed, and reporters who flew in from abroad have already gone to Yike's headquarters, trying to make their trip worthwhile.
It is difficult to interview the parties here in Shanghai, but Washington on the other side has no worries.
At the latest White House press conference, press spokesman Qiao Xi was asked by reporters questions related to Yike and Fang Zhuo, asked about Yike's business in America, and asked "Fuck u, then come on",
Asked "Yike's business will be completely destroyed" and asked Bai Fangzhi's opinion on this matter.
Qiao Xi answered in a more relaxed tone: "I believe that for any company, America is an important market, and this is no exception for Yike."
"Yike's business activities here must comply with various regulations. BIS has obviously communicated with it in this regard, otherwise, Yike would not have obtained three consecutive temporary permits."
"We have no intention of destroying any company that abides by rules and regulations, but I believe there will be no company that does not believe in our capabilities."
"Yike is still operating freely in America, but as far as I know, BIS's temporary license ends on December 31."
When Qiao Xi said this, he smiled inquiringly and said, "Maybe I should also call Mr. Fang? I personally like Yike's mobile phone. For this reason, I really hope to have a candid chat with him.
Let’s talk, as long as he doesn’t curse.”
The White House spokesperson ended the topic humorously.
Many media outlets present, including the New York Daily News, the Washington Post, and the Financial Times, quickly reported on the relevant content.
——Mr. Fang, stop your stupid behavior!
——Yike has one foot on the cliff!
——Mr. Fang, come to Jesus!
Not only did the White House spokesperson respond to this matter, but as if offended by the leaked call recording, the U.S. Trade Office (USTR) quickly released a bombshell news that it would not rule out imposing additional tariffs on Yike in the future, and would also consider imposing additional tariffs on Yike.
Yike has received subsidies to conduct fair competition investigations.
Clearly, USTR demonstrated its destructive capabilities.
Such news plunged Yike's stock price for two consecutive days, and in response to the so-called additional tariffs, some media quickly named this possible measure.
——Yike Tax.
The SEC issued the "Yike Regulations" because Yike was shorted. The previous Supreme Court case was also called the "Yike v. Qualcomm case." Now, Yike is expected to have highly influential provisions again.
Also, some media gave it a common name, calling it the "Fuck tax" from Mr. Fang.
In sharp contrast to such public opinion, the sales of many Yike products have skyrocketed, especially the new flagship Mars 9 series, which has been enthusiastically sought after.
Many users flocked to Mr. Fang’s Twitter to leave messages, strongly requesting Yike mobile phones to open the laser engraving function, hoping to engrave the words “Fuck 9” on the back of Mars 9.
Fang Zhuo, who did not accept interviews with the media, reposted such a suggestion on Twitter and commented: It sounds like a crazier suggestion than me.
CEO Shi Yihao showed his attitude.
However, he may no longer be "the best in the world". Sanjay, who was once evaluated by Fang Zhuo as "one of the top ten failed CEOs in the world" and found a job at GlobalFoundries, posted a photo on Twitter, above which he was preparing to
A gift for Mr. Fang.
A trophy and the honor engraved with the words "The World's Craziest President".
From good times to crazy times, the distance may be just one phone call recording.
After such public opinions and news, a piece of information that is more believed to be that the situation of Yike is substantially deteriorating is that the international rating agency S&P directly adjusted Yike's AA+ to BB+, which means that there are major unstable factors and that in the future
The outlook is "negative".
The third temporary license obtained by Yike from BIS has not yet expired, but the leakage of relevant information has put the company under pressure from many aspects, and it is quite threatening to overwhelm the city.
At this juncture, Intel's new CEO Robert, who flew from the United States, ended his activities in Beijing and took the opportunity to go straight to Shanghai, hoping to meet with the head of Yike.
He hadn't arrived at Yike's headquarters yet, but had already spoken to Mr. Fang on the way to No. 333, Lujiazui Ring Road from the airport, and couldn't wait to put forward the conditions.
"Yike's foreign business is facing a huge crisis. Mr. Fang, you should not try to challenge BIS, and you should not try to challenge USTR. There is still a chance to recover. We at Intel are willing to help Yike."
Fang Zhuo heard this and asked directly: "What do you want?"
"I think there is good room for cooperation with Yike's Zhurong chip. I think Yike Optoelectronics still lacks the design of high-end mobile phone chips, which is extremely regrettable." Robert said, "If Yike is willing to divest this business,
When it comes to Yike Optoelectronics, Intel is willing to help Yike Optoelectronics develop as a company."
The former CEO of Intel wanted the high-quality resources that had been incorporated into Yike Optoelectronics. Now, this person has also set his sights on the Zhurong series of chips.
Fang Zhuo said with a smile: "You have a bigger appetite than Brian."
Robert did not deny this and said directly: "Mr. Fang, the situation is no longer the same. Everyone must recognize the reality."
"What happens after you recognize the reality?" Fang Zhuo said this, but he was not talking to Robert, but asking the members of the general office who were attending the meeting.
This time, everyone was present at the general office meeting. Even American President Schroeder flew over. Listening to President Fang’s call, he replied to the boss from a distance: “Throw away your illusions and prepare to fight.”
