I didn't plan to stay in the casino to rest that night.
Just then, a vice president named Xie came from the headquarters of Black Diamond Mobile Phone Company and said that he needed to report the situation.
Su Yehao made an appointment with a master pottery master tomorrow morning to continue making teapots, not wanting to be spoiled by cumbersome company affairs.
So after having dinner with his second wife, he temporarily notified the vice president named Xie Boyong and asked him to arrive at the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal in an hour and a half.
Port City.
Vice President Xie arrived at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal in advance.
I saw an empty scene next to the pier, with nothing but the bustling city night view south of Victoria Harbour.
He was wondering, scratched his head and said:
"It's strange. Could it be that I parked at the wrong place? No, apart from the passenger terminal, there seems to be only one cruise terminal in Kai Tak Cyberport."
The male assistant who was helping Vice President Xie carry his bag and accompanying him said at this moment:
"Is it possible that we arrived early? Since Mr. Su said that you will arrive in an hour and a half, it should mean that it will take some time on the road. Otherwise, should I go find someone to ask?"
Su Yehao suddenly realized.
"I thought it was inconvenient to mention it on the phone when I encountered trouble, but it turned out to be just because of this. Since about 2000, I have been following the development of PHS. This thing is relatively backward in terms of technology and continues to burn money for expansion.
, when this gust of wind passes, it will soon be swept into the trash can, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it."
"No need for now, I guess you're really early. Maybe the boss will take a boat ride tonight and go for a ride somewhere."
Vice President Xie and the two of them were enjoying the sea breeze and admiring the night views on both sides of Victoria Harbor. Time passed very quickly.
From this point of view, Vice President Xie immediately came to the conclusion-it really cannot be ranked in the top five.
Vice President Xie sighed, with a melancholy expression, and continued:
"The technology of PHS is very unreliable. Even if you drive a little faster, the quality of the call will be affected, let alone if you live in the suburbs or in the countryside. But it can't be said that they are cheap. They transmit one by one. The main reason is to be economical. They say they have low radiation. That's a lie."
It’s just a lie to people who don’t understand these things, and the radiation from mobile phones is not high.”
"No, no, no, Mr. Su misunderstood. The cooperation with Apple has just begun, mainly in laboratory work, and the progress is relatively smooth. The reason why I came here is because the first quarter performance did not meet the standards, and PHS's promotional discount
One after another, the price threshold is extremely low, and the number of users has exceeded 46 million, covering 31 provinces, municipalities, autonomous regions, and more than 300 cities across the country. Even first-tier cities have fallen."
The night view of Victoria Harbor is beautiful, but compared with the shock it brings when the superyacht SU·(ω)" approaches, even the high-rise buildings on both sides of the strait are far inferior.
His assistant thought for a moment and told the truth:
"The scale of Black Diamond Mobile is not bad, but Mr. Su has a lot of business. In real terms, can our company be ranked among the top five in all the industries he is involved in?"
There are also real estate, 5S asset management, etc. in the mainland. Not to mention Qianxin International, which has spent a lot of money. Even the performance of Huang Diamond Computer next door to the company is higher than that of Black Diamond Mobile Phone.
There are many wealthy people and companies with high-rise buildings under their ownership, but there are only a few big toys like the SU·(ω)" in the world.
Vice President Xie was half joking and half serious. He paused for a few seconds and then added: "It's amazing when you think about it. Our company is not small, but the big boss rarely asks questions in person. He has not seen him in the company for half a year.
He is really trusting of us."
Two grown men stood at an empty pier, what else could they do if they didn't chat.
Su Yehao suddenly remembered that it had already been listed on NASDAQ in the United States, and Masayoshi Son of SoftBank of Japan was one of its major shareholders.
However, senior executives like Vice President Xie all know that Su Yehao has a family office under his control, with hundreds of people issuing orders, and the efficiency is much higher than that of a group-type enterprise.
Even just thinking about Su Yehao spending billions of yuan just for daily comfort and enjoyment makes Vice President Xie and his secretary sigh sincerely, and they can't even have too many thoughts of envy and jealousy. The gap is really too big.
Vice President Xie just finished speaking.
The so-called PHS is a high-power cordless phone that looks like a mobile phone but uses the same lines as a landline phone.
Of course, Vice President Xie had no objection. With a bright smile on his face, he replied: "No problem, it's all at your discretion."
"There's no need to be polite. You are the seniors. I still have a lot to learn."
This has led to the current competition among mobile phone brands. In Su Yehao's eyes, it feels like children fighting, which is really boring, prompting him to pay less attention to Black Diamond mobile phones.
Hear the words.
When the yacht slowly docked, Su Yehao got off the boat directly.
A superyacht of more than 100 meters is a proper consumer product, and they are two different things.
Su Yehao himself is also using a Black Diamond mobile phone and feels there are not many problems.
He couldn't help laughing and told:
Unexpectedly, Su Yehao was so calm. Vice President Xie immediately put his heart back in his stomach and expressed his stance:
Although Su Yehao's business is relatively fragmented, it is not managed as a whole in the form of a group parent company like other companies.
"For making iron, you need to be strong. PHS does not have much technology. It has only found the right market positioning and attracted a large number of customers who do not have strong spending power. As long as they have used PHS and our Black Diamond mobile phones, the vast majority of them said
Our product is better.”
A casual glance shows that there are emojis and Google in the United States. This is a well-known fact, and it is often brought out by the mainland media to attract people's attention.
This is a good question.
His assistant looked envious and said with a smile: "Mr. Su's superyacht is worth several billion. I wonder if I can be lucky enough to go on it and visit it. If I can take a photo, I can brag about it until the Chinese New Year next year, and all my colleagues in the company will know it."
Envy me."
Su Yehao pretended to be modest and asked him directly: "Are you here to report on your work today? I haven't heard of any problems with the Black Diamond mobile phone. Could it be that the subsidiary established in cooperation with Apple in the United States is in trouble?"
"Well, comparing it to PHS, focusing on it is just a waste of time. You just need to kill the Japanese, Korean and American competitors, seize the time to accumulate experience, and launch better products."
This is not to say that Black Diamond mobile phones are not good. Last year’s total sales reached more than 10 billion yuan, and their performance in the mainland market was quite good. The overseas business scale also exceeded 2 billion yuan. The main reason is that the Su family’s business is too exaggerated.
I heard Vice President Xie mention PHS.
Even if you stand on the observation deck next to the Huangpu River, you can't see the bustling urban landscape like the port city. Therefore, mainland tourists often feel shocked after visiting.
Su Yehao didn't personally intervene, which seems to be a good thing. This means that the company's development is fine and there is no need to intervene...
High-rise buildings are considered assets, which can make money and increase in value.
"That big ship in the newspaper...Don't tell me, I haven't been on it either. I've only been in the company for half a year, and I haven't even had the chance to meet the big boss. Mr. Wang arranged for me to come over this time. On the one hand, he was afraid of being scolded, and on the other hand, he arranged for me to come over.
On the other hand, they also wanted me to take the opportunity to communicate with the big boss. As expected, he is considered a stepmother and will only remember me when he encounters hard work."
After asking, I learned that the person in front of me was Vice President Xie. He greeted me and said with a smile, "Let's go to the mall and have a cup of milk tea, coffee or something. Forget it. At this time, I am having dinner with my family."
This was only 2004.
Don't look at Nokia starting to launch some fancy functions, such as surfing the Internet, sending and receiving emails, etc., when Apple Smart's new products are launched and have a dimensionality reduction effect, Nokia should just throw it into the trash can like PHS.
PHS has been able to achieve its current market size mainly by investing a lot of money in telecommunications infrastructure, and at the same time enjoying subsidies, which is equivalent to reaping dividends, and has successfully stood at the forefront of the times.
Now it seems that the trend is about to stop, 3G technology has begun to mature, and mobile phone charges have begun to decline. As people's incomes increase, mobile phones are no longer considered a luxury, and the growth rate of PHS is expected to start to slow down.
Su Yehao secretly noted this matter.
I want to take some time to find out more and see if I can earn some pocket money through short selling to subsidize the research and development expenses of the Black Diamond mobile phone...
