Yike's mobile phone business is a top priority and a headache for Fang Zhuo.
From last year to this year, from New York to Silicon Valley, from systems to cameras, many decisions were made or driven by him. He knew every node and progress well, and now we are talking about it at a cocktail party...
I don't know whether it was because he told trivial and boring things, or because the richest man in the Mainland finally had some aura, everyone was very excited to hear it.
"Mr. Fang is truly a mobile phone expert!"
"If nothing else, Mr. Fang has light in his eyes, which means there is hope for Yike Mobile."
"I always have confidence in the other party, confidence in the mobile phone, and confidence in Yike."
Everyone saw Fang Zhuo's enthusiastic talk about mobile phones come to an end and gave him high praise.
Fang Zhuo said happily: "Right, we are really making mobile phones. Overall, I still have great confidence in Yike this time. Since you are the same way, you can buy more Yike shares."
As U.S. stocks fell as a whole, Yike's share price also fell.
When everyone heard this, they smiled at each other, raised their glasses, and drank.
Then, Fang Zhuo knew that alcohol was the reason why everyone was so high.
He just...drinks two more glasses of wine with everyone.
It was a little later and the atmosphere was nice.
Xu Xin from Capital Today watched Mr. Fang and Ding Lei finish their chat with a smile and then approached with a glass of wine in hand.
She complained and said: "Mr. Fang, you can't think of him for all the good things now just because Mr. Xiong made a Zhihu that you like? Forget Mr. Wang of Shenxin, I supported you more than Mr. Xiong at the beginning.
ah."
Xu Xin was talking about Weibo. When she saw the new social platform launched during the Chinese New Year, she took advantage of the New Year greetings to talk about whether there would be any need for financing in the future. Unexpectedly, the answer she heard was that it had already been decided.
"Sister Xin, I know it's because Lao Xiong likes it. Don't blame me." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "I've been talking to Lao Xiong these two days, saying that this Weibo is competing with Penguin and competing with such a giant.
To compete in their advantageous track, our number one domestic female investor cannot be missing.”
He paused and then said: "Even if this time there is indeed a reason, including the sale of Friends.com, the original management, Sina's internal decision-making and other factors, the B round of financing must also allow Capital Today to come in. Otherwise, I will not feel at ease. No matter what, we must
Only with a solid base camp can we fight social competition well."
Xu Xin clinked the wine glasses and said with a smile: "Whether it's true or not, if Mr. Fang says this, then I really believe it."
"Of course it's true. I swear, if we don't seek Capital Today for round B, Lao Xiong's website will collapse immediately." Fang Zhuo said solemnly.
Xu Xin laughed.
Xiong Xiaoge heard the undisguised laughter and looked for the sound with extra keenness: "Mr. Xu is so happy, why are you laughing?"
Fang Zhuo said: "I said that the new sister is the number one female investor in the country, and she laughed. I don't know why."
Xiong Xiaoge nodded in agreement: "This is the truth."
Xu Xin looked at the two people and sighed with a heartfelt smile: "You two are really a team."
Fang Zhuo looked at Xu Xin in surprise and said thank you, "Thank you, Sister Xin. If you didn't tell me, I really wouldn't have known."
Xu Xin shook his head and raised his glass: "Mr. Fang is safe and sound. I can't wait for Yike's cell phone."
Xiong Xiaoge also said: "Who is not? I see many domestic mobile phone peers waiting to see what competing products will appear."
Fang Zhuo was a little surprised by this sentence: "Oh?"
"You are ambitious to cross the Internet and make mobile phones. Who among your potential peers would not care about the situation?" Xiong Xiaoge said naturally, "I heard that the sales target of Tianyu mobile phone this year is 20 million units. There is a deputy
The general manager said they are waiting for the challenge from Yike Mobile."
Tianyu waiting for challenge?
Fang Zhuo: "Huh?"
"Lenovo's mobile phones are also doing very well this year. Sales can account for 30 to 40% of the domestic mobile phone market, and they are already the leader in domestic mobile phones." Xu Xin said.
The association of the domestic leader?
Fang Zhuo was a little surprised: "That's quite a lot."
"The position of Lenovo mobile phones was only achieved in the second half of last year and this year. Tianyu mobile phones probably want to compete. There are also Amoi, Gionee, Bird, and Coolpad. The market competition for domestic mobile phones is very fierce." Xu Xin introduced.
They are basically ranked by market share, Lenovo is first, Tianyu is second, and the remaining companies are almost the same.
However, although Lenovo is the leader in domestic mobile phones, it only accounts for about 3% of the domestic mobile phone market.
In the mobile phone market, Nokia first took away nearly half, leaving 15% to Sony Ericsson, 12% to Motorola, and 9% to Samsung.
This leaves 20% of the market for many brands to compete for. Lenovo says it is not much, but Dopod and LG only account for less than 3%.
"The mid-to-low-end market where domestic mobile phones are located has both the price drops of international brands and fierce competition from peers. Fortunately, the concept of music mobile phones is now popular. I think that even in an environment where domestic mobile phones are surrounded by many players,
Yike Mobile also has certain advantages." Xu Xin said seriously.
Yike's products have always been linked to music, which can be regarded as brand culture. In particular, Yike's subsidiary has officially signed Jay Chou.
Fang Zhuo took a sip of wine and took a breath: "Surrounded by heroes, the competition is fierce."
They are all surrounded by heroes. The versions of Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, and Motorola should be no different from the versions of Lenovo, Tianyu, Amoi, Gionee, and Bird.
"You can look at the performance of the mid-range market. After all, there is a new system and a different human-computer interaction." Xiong Xiaoge was more optimistic, "Lenovo can compete with Dopod and LG. Yike is sure
It's also possible, and the popularization of this system can bring more long-term benefits."
Just when Fang Zhuo was about to speak, Zhang Chaoyang came over, a little staggering.
Zhang Chaoyang clinked his glasses happily first, and then said loudly: "Come on, I just received a new message. Another organization in the United States announced its bankruptcy. Let's first say goodbye to Mr. Fang."
Another financial institution goes out of business? Too fast! How many institutions are still unable to survive?
Everyone at the reception was a little surprised, but that didn't stop them from toasting together: "Farewell Mr. Fang!"
Mr. Fang is going to the United States to cause trouble! He is going to short Lehman face to face!
Fang Zhuo smiled and drank a glass of farewell wine.
"Mr. Fang, how does it feel to sit on your private jet?" Zhang Chaoyang poured another glass of wine and asked about this matter.
"I did some interior decoration, it seems pretty good, mainly to save time." Fang Zhuo thought for a while, "You want to buy it? If you have nothing to do, then we can do it together in the early morning, which is perfect for a test drive."
Zhang Chaoyang was stunned and said in a daze: "Then how can I come back?"
"I'll take the private jet back to you later," Fang Zhuo said with a smile.
Zhang Chaoyang thought Mr. Fang was interesting enough.
At this time, someone else raised a glass: "Farewell Mr. Fang."
Fang Zhuo corrected him aloud: "Mr. Zhang wants to go to the United States with me to see Mr. Fang and Mr. Zhang off."
Huh? Zhang Sohu has a new arrangement so soon? Forget it, it fits his style.
Everyone did not ask further questions and still raised their glasses: "Congratulations to Mr. Fang and Mr. Zhang!"
The farewell was successful and the reception was over.
The private plane took off from Beijing at one o'clock in the morning.
At four o'clock in the morning, Zhang Chaoyang suddenly woke up from a shaking.
He sat up hazily and looked at the unfamiliar environment for a while. Then he saw Mr. Fang and others playing cards a little further away and said in shock: "Why are you shaking like this? Where am I?"
"Oh, the plane encountered turbulence. It's okay. Just go back to sleep." Fang Zhuo dialed a 9 and replied calmly.
Zhang Chaoyang said "hmm" and lay down again.
But after a few seconds, he suddenly sat up again and said in surprise: "Plane? Where am I? Where are I going?"
"You were on my private plane flying to New York. Did you forget? At the cocktail party, Fei dragged me and asked me to drink the most expensive red wine in New York. He said that you have a way of appreciating red wine. I couldn't help it, so I just
You brought it with you, oh yes, and your assistant." Fang Zhuo raised his head and glanced at Brother Chaoyang, who had a habit of drinking.
Zhang Chaoyang suspected that Mr. Fang was lying to him.
However, there is no evidence.
He sat on the bed in a daze, quite confused.
"Let's play cards, and we'll have some red wine when we get there." Fang Zhuo regretfully put down his lost poker.
Zhang Chaoyang thought about it for a while. Although he didn't really want to go to New York, he seemed unable to make the jump.
The head of Sohu quietly played cards with the richest man in the Mainland in the air, and soon lost a dozen bottles of red wine in a daze.
In the distant International Financial City, a large number of subprime mortgage institutions are facing bankruptcy. Behind the scenes, on the Chinese Internet, a fierce battle between Taobao and Paipai is raging.
Private jets fly between dark clouds and the silent Arctic Ocean.
Fang Zhuo occasionally had daydreams between the big-win poker games. There were only three months left before the Yike mobile phone was launched.

I was so tired from driving back last night, and there were still more problems in the evening and night.
