Through the intermediary CICC, Google sent out bidding invitations to major mobile phone manufacturers in China. The first round of bidding for Motorola is scheduled for July 5, and the results will be announced tonight.
Hailong Building at night.
Lu Fei stood in front of the window, looking at the bright moon.
The mobile phone was lying outside behind him, and he heard Sun Hongjun say:
"Mr. Lu, Google said it wanted to thank us. With the combination of Shenzhou and Logic, Motorola has many more bidders, and Lianxiang's first-round offer has been directly set at US$500 million."
"You want to take away Motorola for $500 million?"
Lu Fei smiled coldly, "Tell Larry, calm down. This is just the first round of bidding. Next, I will send Shenzhou to cover and continue to hang Lianxiang. When the final round comes, I can kill more."
Lianxiang earns three to four billion U.S. dollars."
Sun Hongjun smiled and said: "The relationship is good. If Lianxiang pays an extra 100 million, it will be a loss of 100 million, which will weaken Lianxiang's funds and strength in the mobile phone and even computer business in a disguised way."
"In the second half of the year, Shenzhou can launch one or two rounds of price wars against Lianxiang's capital chain to take another bite out of the domestic market share." Lu Fei touched his chin, "As for logic, let's just abstain from the second round.
, I won’t study with the princes anymore.”
"Understood, I will tell Wu Haijun later."
Sun Hongjun immediately reported the situation of Apple. iPhone 4s was officially released overseas in early July and has been on sale for the fifth day.
"We urgently purchased 30 units for testing. Based on the data from our previous investigation, the final report has been sent to your mailbox. In addition, mobile phones produced in Tianzhu are also being mailed."
"How is it going?"
Lu Fei returned to his seat and logged into his foxmail email.
"As you expected, Tianzhu's OEM level is as good as China's. You still want to replace China and become the 'world's factory'. Haha, what a dream!"
Sun Hongjun's tone was full of admiration and admiration. Fortunately, he listened to Mr. Lu and was not deceived by Tianzhu into locating the foundry in Tianzhu, but in southern Henan. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
"What's the pass rate?"
Lu Fei clicked on the PDF file in his mailbox.
"Only 10 units are qualified, with a pass rate of 3%, not even 40%. The quality is very poor, and there are also very serious problems. One is that there is a lot of dust inside the phone, and the other, as you expected, there is a lot of
Bacteria found there, those who didn’t know it thought they had been soaked in the Ganges River water.”
As Sun Hongjun spoke, he couldn't help laughing.
"If you expect Ah San to be hygienic, you might as well hope that Ah San's rocket can reach the sky."
Lu Fei glanced at the inspection report.
Unsurprisingly, the iPhone 4s is a huge disappointment. Among the 20 unqualified models, there are more or less problems.
For example, the screen flickered, the battery life was short, the camera was blurry, and the signal was poor, but out of only 30 mobile phones, 12 actually had a large amount of E. coli detected.
"Those iPhone 4s that have not been completely sterilized are most likely caused by Tianzhu staff being used to not washing their hands. Maybe Apple has not thought that mobile phones can cause hygiene problems."
Sun Hongjun's laughter became louder and louder.
Lu Fei chuckled, "As expected of Steve Jobs' favorite Tianzhu, and worthy of being Steve Jobs's last masterpiece."
"With these problems that occur in iPhone 4S, I have no qualifications to challenge iPhone 5, let alone logic X5!"
Sun Hongjun is full of confidence.
"As long as we ensure that we don't make mistakes and wait for our opponents to make mistakes before us, we can find a breakthrough."
Lu Fei's lips curled up.
"Mr. Lu, should we hand over this test report to the relevant departments and authoritative media, let them announce the handling, and give Apple a hard time?" Sun Hongjun remembers that one of the culprits of the sanctions logic is Apple.
If the enemy attacks me, I will definitely attack him!
"Don't worry, let the bullets fly for a while."
There was a hint of relaxation in Lu Fei's tone.
"ah?"
Sun Hongjun was puzzled.
iPhone 4s has already landed in the Baodao and Xiangjiang markets, and will soon land in the mainland market. Now is the best time to attack Apple. If the hygiene and quality issues of iPhone 4s can be revealed at this time, if nothing else happens, restrictions can be placed.
It is even prohibited to import Apple machines that come from Tianzhu.
Apple made Logic unsatisfactory in the American market, and Logic responded in kind, making Apple unsatisfactory in China.
"If it's not hot enough, let's play tricks with Jobs and Cook to make Apple sell in the country for a few more days." Lu Fei said with a smile.
Dear Mr. Lu, they are not worth playing with!
Sun Hongjun is both resentful and puzzling.
If you want to play, you must play!
Lu Fei raised a conspiratorial evil smile at the corner of his mouth.
If iPhone 4s is not allowed to circulate in China, how can consumers buy a mobile phone? If iPhone 4s is not allowed to circulate in China, how can consumers protect their rights if quality and hygiene problems with iPhone 4s are exposed?
How can Apple have a public relations crisis if they don’t protect their rights?
Given Apple’s arrogant attitude towards the Chinese market, it may not recall the product. Even if it does recall it, it may continue to use Apple machines produced in Tianzhu and pass them off as inferior ones, which is tantamount to committing a crime to death!
When the time comes for the logic press conference, Mr. Lu will raise his arms and shout, gun in hand, follow me, kill Apple, kill Cook!
"Are you planning to take this whole thing seriously?"
Sun Hongjun immediately understood.
"This mine must not explode as loudly as the Antenna Gate. It will explode so loudly that it will shake the earth and make ghosts and gods weep."
Lu Fei stared closely at the test report of the iPhone 4s.
"If you say that, I will understand."
Sun Hongjun immediately understood that China had accumulated explosive barrels first and was waiting for Europe to fire the first shot!
I thought about this, but thought something was wrong, "Mr. Lu, due to the logic of sanctions, many consumers are boycotting Apple and Samsung products. I don't think the sales of iPhone 4s may be high. This bullet may take a long time to fly."
“Don’t worry, I have already arranged for online shopping, Meituan, and also suggested Ali Daba to contact Apple to hold an iPhone 4s launch promotion to boost mobile phone sales.”
Lu Fei smiled, who is as kind-hearted as me?
Regardless of past grudges, you are helping Apple like this.
"High, Mr. Lu, high!"
Sun Hongjun was so excited that he did not think that Mr. Lu was siding with the enemy by doing this. If God wanted to destroy him, he would make him crazy.
"Choose a good time, choose a good place."
Lu Fei knocked on the table.
"One week after the launch of the iPhone 4S, the sales volume was astonishing, exceeding 4 million units, which is equivalent to twice the sales volume of the iPhone 4 in the first three days of its release. It is slightly inferior to the iPhone 5 and has become the second fastest-selling smartphone in history, but it is already Apple's best result."
"Apple swept away the decline of 'Antennagate' and made a comeback with the iPhone 4s, Steve Jobs' last masterpiece. It points its finger at logic."
"As the iPhone 4s sells well around the world, Apple's stock price continues to rise, with an average daily growth of 3 points. A Wall Street analyst said that he is optimistic that Apple can take the North American market share vacated by Logic and replace Logic as the best-selling mobile phone in the United States."
"Lucian: iPhone 4S is the representative of American manufacturing, and American manufacturing is the representative of global high-end manufacturing!"
"It is rumored that TSMC and Apple have reached a strategic cooperation. TSMC will receive a large number of iPhone 4s orders, officially announcing that it will join Apple's supply chain and get rid of the hijacking of the logical supply chain."
"Wistron, Foxconn and other Apple OEMs are operating at full capacity in Tianzhu, giving priority to supplying the strong demand in the European and American markets, which has caused domestic dissatisfaction. Guo Taiming said that he will not rule out the possibility of considering transferring all mainland OEMs to Tianzhu, reducing the
This increases efficiency.”
"..."
Good news about Apple came one after another. Jobs became more and more happy, his pale face became rosy, his energy became better and better, and his whole person seemed to be glowing with new vitality.
"Steve, our main slogan this time is 'Not Made in China'. The White House likes this slogan very much, especially Lucian. He has been mentioning Made in America and wants to promote the return of manufacturing. The emergence of iPhone 4s is exactly in line with this trend.
It’s a trend.” Cook laughed, “If nothing else happens, the sales volume of iPhone 4s will far exceed that of iPhone 4.”
"This is for sure."
Jobs wasn't surprised.
Logic has been struck hard and punished severely.
It has to give up a large chunk of its market share. If Apple can't stand up, then it might as well file for bankruptcy!
After all, America’s father didn’t come, so logic bullied Apple.
America’s dad is here. If logic still bullies Apple, then America’s dad is here in vain!
"Sooner or later, the American market will be ours. Sales in Europe and China are also very good. They have basically broken various sales records. This can be said to have reversed the reputation that 'Antenna Gate' brought to Apple."
Cook breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tim, maybe you have to take the trouble to make another trip to the White House." Jobs touched his stubble-covered chin.
"Can you lobby Lucian and the others to speed up the approval of the logical import ban?" Cook asked, "This is a bit difficult. You know, Huaxia Continent has very strong connections and influence in the political and business circles of the United States. Lucian, Xilaili and the others...
…”
"No, I want you to lobby them to extend the import ban on Samsung products that infringe on logic patents."
Jobs said seriously.
"Steve, what do you mean!"
Cook was stunned at first, but soon figured it out.
The current logic in the American market is only retreat, not advance.
Apple will compete with Nokia, Samsung, Motorola and other friends to compete for the market share that Logic spits out, but Nokia has to wait until Microsoft's mobile operating system comes out before it can compete, and Motorola and Google have already been separated and sold.
The only one that can really compete with Apple for territory is Samsung.
So when it comes to dealing with Samsung, we have to beat the snake to the last inch. Because of the legal dispute between Logic and Samsung, Samsung's import restriction order has been extended again and again, for a full three or four months.
If Apple allows the ban to be extended for another 90 days, there will be no logic, and there will be no Samsung. The entire American market will fall into a power gap period of at least 90 days. The only smartphone giant is Apple, which is equivalent to giving one company the opportunity to monopolize it.
.
Perhaps this time, it will be enough for Apple to reverse the situation of being suppressed by logic for several years, and Samsung will never suspect that Apple is causing trouble, and will only think that it is logic to extend the ban.
Kill with a borrowed knife!
Tall, Steve Jobs, really tall!
"In addition to focusing on the local market, we must also focus on the European market, which is our second largest market! We must not let Huaxia Luhe logic conquer easily!"
Jobs said without fear.
"I have been following Apple's business in Europe."
Cook said bitterly: "But you also know that Europe is different from the United States. Although the EU is not monolithic, its logic entered the market before us. Coupled with the European debt crisis, China has increased its investment in Europe.
In conjunction with his Trisolaris Fund, he is fighting fiercely with the governments of various countries. A few days ago, Greece, France, Germany, and many other countries have increased their purchase orders for logic phones. At most, we have affected the United Kingdom."
"Is there nothing you can do?"
Jobs' face suddenly darkened.
"No, no, we have come up with a plan and are negotiating with European operators such as Vodafone and Deutsche Telekom. When we are ready to renew the contract, we will make some concessions and give them some profits to support Apple and start a price war with Logic in Europe.
.”
Cook spread his hands helplessly.
"Price war?"
The corners of Jobs' mouth twitched.
"This is also a no-brainer, but it is also the best way at present. The logic is sanctioned and the United States is missing a large part of the revenue, but it is necessary to maintain the research and development projects and squeeze out the funds to fight a price war with us.
Probably more than apples!”
Cook raised his chin, showing confidence.
"Now that you are the CEO of Apple, you are in charge of everything about Apple." Jobs nodded.
"In addition, we are prepared to increase the development of the Chinese and Tianzhu markets, especially the Tianzhu market. The logic does not meet the policies of Tianzhu and it is completely unqualified for listing and circulation."
Cook is not without pride in his investment in Tianzhu.
"Ha ha."
Jobs also laughed, and after chatting for a while about how to attack China, Lu Fei's home base, he watched him leave.
After a while, Laurenna came over with washed fruits and said with a smile: "Your complexion is getting better and better recently."
"yes."
Jobs nodded, "I want to live a few more days, preferably one or two more years. Maybe by then, I can see Apple overturning logic. I'm really looking forward to it."
"I told you a long time ago that you will be able to see that day with your own eyes, but you still don't believe it." Laurenna rolled her eyes, "I have asked the doctor, as long as you can control your emotions, actively cooperate with treatment, and stay optimistic
The mentality may not be hopeless."
"Being optimistic, of course there is no problem. The most important thing for me right now is optimism. Haha, watching Huaxia Land fail makes me happier than me making money." Jobs laughed so wildly that he couldn't help but cough.
"Pah, pah, pah."
Laurenna patted him gently on the back.
While Jobs was eating an apple and browsing the news on his iPad, a message from Bloomberg popped up inadvertently. As soon as he saw the word "Apple", he was immediately attracted to it.
"Recently, Europe began to test iPhones from Tianzhu. 100 iPhone4s were imported from Tianzhu and then underwent all types of tests. The test results were unexpected. It was unexpectedly found that there was excessive E. coli in the mobile phones..."
“iphone4s is suspected to have health issues.”
"How could this happen! How could this happen!"
Jobs looked in disbelief. Could it be Lu Fei? Could it be Lu Fei's fault? It must be him!
"Steve!" Laurenna was shocked when she saw that he was emotionally unstable and clutching the quilt tightly with both hands.
Chapter completed!
