After returning to Europe, Ertian immediately announced that the Alcatel mobile phone brand would officially move away from its former home in Europe. The R&D center would also be moved and an operations center would be established here in Europe. This was not surprising to the outside world.

But the news that came out next was a bit eye-catching. Alcatel Mobile announced a large-scale layoff, and all the management at Alcatel headquarters will be handled under one roof. It also announced the termination of cooperation with previous European parts suppliers. As soon as the news came out,

There was an uproar!

Alcatel mobile phone has set a new record. Almost as soon as the news was released, the European media began to criticize Alcatel mobile phone. There were many public opinion that Alcatel mobile phone was crazy.

"Alcatel phones have been destroyed. There is no doubt about that. French and European users, you have witnessed a European technology brand being destroyed by a company from America!"

A manager who was directly driven away from Alcatel Mobile and was responsible for purchasing supply chain parts said angrily when interviewed by the media.

When Alcatel Mobile was acquired, this manager didn't take it seriously. According to the usual practice, no matter who acquires Alcatel Mobile, they, the management, must appease them and ensure that Alcatel Mobile can continue to operate normally.

But who would have known that this time I would encounter someone who was unscrupulous and forcefully removed all of their management team.

Not to mention his original job, wages and salary, the procurement department's salary and benefits are well known. The salary and benefits he gets every year from Alcatel mobile phones are far more than other peers, but now everything is gone.

"That Bruno Song knows nothing about the mobile phone industry. He will regret it!" The manager finally scolded the interview camera.

Not only the expelled management team, but also former Alcatel parts suppliers have come out to oppose Alcatel mobile phones moving out of Europe.

"Alcatel mobile phones are from Europe. We don't know why the French municipal government passed this ridiculous acquisition!"

The boss of a manufacturer that provides speakers for Alcatel phones angrily complained to the media that Alcatel phones should not be let go.

This speaker manufacturer is not large in scale. Coupled with the production costs in Europe, its products are not competitive among similar products at all. However, because in Europe, Alcatel mobile phones have to give priority to purchasing local mobile phone parts.

part.

Now that Alcatel's mobile phone has been moved away, this parts manufacturer, the largest customer, has suddenly disappeared. It's no wonder that they are not in a hurry. There are not many people in the same situation as this speaker manufacturer.

This group of parts manufacturers even instigated the trade departments of France and Europe to prohibit the removal of Alcatel mobile phones, initiate sanctions, boycott the sale of Alcatel mobile phones in Europe, etc. In any case, they want Alcatel mobile phones to continue to be sold from their group of retailers.

Parts purchased from parts suppliers.

Before, Eltian and Alcatel mobile phones probably had to consider public opinion and bargain with these suppliers. But now, they don’t even know whether Alcatel mobile phones can survive. How can Eltian care?

With this bunch of things, I used to rely on blood-sucking Alcatel phones to survive, but now the Alcatel phones themselves are almost dying, so how can I care about their lives?

No matter how big the public opinion is, how harshly Alcatel mobile phones and Song Yang are scolded, the transformation of Alcatel mobile phones has not stopped, and all production lines and parts supply chains have begun to move to Asia.

The two R&D centers have also begun to move out. R&D personnel who are willing to go to the San Jose R&D center will have their salaries increased. Those who are unwilling to go will receive severance pay directly. There are 600 R&D personnel, and in the end more than 500 people left.

.

In addition to these mobile phone R&D personnel, Alcatel Mobile has also aggressively recruited personnel, purchased a large number of R&D experimental equipment, and poached people from Samsung, Sony, Ericsson and other mobile phone manufacturers. It announced that by the end of the year, the scale of the entire R&D department will exceed 1,000,000 people.

More than one person!

Alcatel has established two major laboratories, namely hardware and software. Coupled with the support of Bell Labs, the size of Alcatel's mobile phone R&D team is quite impressive in terms of quantity alone.

Although it cannot compare with the scale of R&D personnel of Motorola and Nokia, it is already one of the best in the mobile phone industry. It is much stronger than those mobile phone manufacturers who are trying to sell their products on their own.

Just when the outside world was still talking about it, the British listed company Pro-On suddenly issued an announcement that it had licensed the entire EP handheld operating system to Alcatel mobile phones for a price of US$26 million.

That is to say, Alcatel mobile phones have the authority to modify, sell, re-authorize, etc. the ep operating system. No matter how much Alcatel mobile phones use the ep operating system, it has nothing to do with the company!

After the acquisition was completed, Ertian announced that the ep operating system would become the "Symbian" system for Alcatel mobile phones in the future.

The outside world was confused by this news. They didn’t know what Alcatel was planning to do. Some media speculated that Alcatel was trying to sell PDA handheld machines instead of selling them. Otherwise, why would it dare to sell European products?

Have the mobile phone supply chain and market been abandoned?

"I think Bruno Song has made an empirical mistake. The electronics industry and the Internet industry are two completely different industries. We do not deny everything Bruno Song has done on the Internet. With just one sentence, he can make Nasdaq

The stock prices of dozens of companies soared that day, because they were optimistic about emerging markets in Asia, which allowed dozens of Internet and venture capital companies to flock overseas!"

A TV station in San Francisco is adjacent to Silicon Valley. The media here is basically the headquarters of Silicon Valley. It broadcasts and discusses various news from Silicon Valley on a daily basis. Silicon Valley not only has Internet companies, but it is also the headquarters of electronic technology companies.

In the studio of San Francisco TV station, several guests invited by the TV station, including an expert in the electronics industry, were talking.

He is also not optimistic about Song Yang's development of Alcatel mobile phones. "The Internet does not require experience, and there is no experience reference, but the electronics industry is different. What we can see is that Bruno Song is using the Internet's thinking to manage electronics.

industry, but the electronics industry requires experience accumulation.”

The electronics expert finally sighed and said with regret, "Sorry, I really can't see the future of Alcatel mobile phones. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that Bruno Song ruined everything!"

After listening to what the electronics expert said, the program host looked at the guests. The electronics industry experts and Wall Street analysts invited today were basically not optimistic about Song Yang's Alcatel mobile phone.

After looking around, the host finally set his sights on the last person today and the most important guest today, Palm President Jeff Hawkins.

"Jeff, what do you think of the Alcatel mobile phone that fell into the hands of Bruno Song? I heard that Alcatel mobile phone has just acquired the ep operating system of Bio-On. In the future, Alcatel may become an important rival of Palm..."

Before the host finished speaking, Jeff Hawkins couldn't help but laugh, as if he had heard a joke.

Then holding back his laughter, Jeff Hawkins said, "I'm sorry, I have no intention of questioning Bruno Song. I know him. He is a genius. I have heard rumors about him countless times in Silicon Valley. He has the sharpest

His investment vision can turn stone into gold, etc., but as I just heard, this is the electronic technology industry, not just relying on words, sorry..."

Jeff Hawkins couldn't help but laugh a few more times, "The electronic technology industry requires time to accumulate. Palm also experienced failures. It took four years to get to where it is today. And I started working at Intel in 1979 until

Now, after 17 years, the Palmprint handheld console is launched!"

Jeff Hawkins didn't swear or question Song Yang or anything, but when the host put Song Yang and Alcatel phones together and compared them with Palm, the look of disdain on Jeff Hawkins' face was almost astonishing.

It is visible to the naked eye.

"Palm has many competitors, including Apple, Microsoft, HP, Dell, Compaq, Sharp, Toshiba, and many more, including Bioon, of course. But if Palm survives, Print's sales may exceed one million

The annual revenue of the entire handheld market will exceed US$1.2 billion in the future!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of exclamation in the entire studio. Regarding the performance of everyone present, Jeff Hawkins looked as usual, as if this kind of thing was just a trivial matter, but he could not hide the pride in his heart.

Today, the San Francisco TV station invited Jeff Hawkins to talk about Song Yang and Alcatel mobile phones. In fact, Hawkins didn't pay much attention at all. When did an Internet person be compared with him, a veteran in the electronic technology industry?

Already?

What is Song Yang's background and what is Alcatel's situation? He, Jeff Hawkins, developed the Palmprint handheld computer, which set a new sales record for PDA handheld computers, broke the best-selling records for color TVs and video tapes in the history of electrical appliances, and made PDA handheld computers

This once investment black hole, an industry that saw only losses and never looked back, has become an industry with a revenue of more than one billion US dollars. Jeff Hawkins really can't imagine how Song Yang and Alcatel mobile phones can compare with him?

!

It’s no wonder that Jeff Hawkins feels this way. Even Apple, HP, Toshiba and other competitors have failed to accomplish a feat that he has accomplished. He has defeated a newcomer who entered the industry from across the industry. He, Jeff Hawkins

Can't you be a little more confident?

Facing the camera, Jeff Hawkins didn't say harsh words, but his meaning was very clear. As long as Song Yang and Alcatel dare to enter the handheld market, he can make Alcatel suffer. As for Alcatel,
Chapter completed!
