Chapter 405: Your pattern is still a bit low (3 updates)
Michael has even thought of his words for the conversation with Changtian Technology. He will explain to Changtian Technology the current difficulties Dell is encountering and the difficulty of survival, etc.
But in the past half month, the reactions of Changtian Technology and Shenzhou made Michael very strange.
After losing the cooperation of Dell, the tripartite alliance between Changtian Technology, Dell and AMD means that it has collapsed.
In addition, during this period, a large number of software companies in the United States, including Windows Office, have clearly rejected Changtian Technology's hardware.
Under such harsh conditions, Changtian Technology did not respond at all and did not make any explanation to the outside world. What does this mean?
Does it mean that Changtian Technology has given up the fight, or has given up its position as a world-class hardware manufacturer?
Just when Michael was thinking wildly, Wang Xiang called.
This was arranged by Chen Xiao, and it was considered a polite inquiry to Dell.
Chen Xiao never thought about reaching any compromise agreement with Dell again.
Wang Xiang: "Mr. Michael is very sorry to disturb you at this time."
Michael: "No, no. Mr. Wang, you are too polite."
Wang Xiang said: "At the beginning of the year, our company reached a hardware purchase agreement with your company, and Changtian Technology also fully assisted Dell to gain a foothold in the European market and resume sales. In March this year, Dell's sales volume
It even surpassed IBM, Sony, HP and other brands in one fell swoop, becoming the number one selling PC brand in Europe."
"I don't know what the reason was that made Mr. Mike decide to give up the cooperation with Changtian Technology."
Of course, Michael revealed what he had been thinking about for a long time. When explaining why he did not cooperate with Changtian Technology, Michael could not help but complain about Changtian Technology.
"Your company has been unable to obtain a cooperation agreement from Microsoft, which makes our downstream PC companies very embarrassed. We cannot lose the opportunity to use the genuine Windows XP system because of cooperation with your company. We must know that this system has been widely used in the Western market.
popularity.”
This statement is blaming Changtian Technology for not being able to get a cooperation agreement from Microsoft and being unable to reconcile with Microsoft.
"Changtian Technology will not allow our computers using carbon-based hard drives and carbon crystal memories to enter the Xia market, which deprives us of the opportunity to compete fairly."
"In addition, it is extremely unreasonable for Changtian Technology to ask for our profit distribution in the European market. After all, we have spent a lot of energy and time to develop the European market, and it is not all because of several hardware products of Changtian Technology that we have obtained the profit distribution.
success."
…
At the end of the conversation, Michael said excitedly: "At present, Dell is still the number one sales brand in Europe and the United States. Our recent performance in the Xiaguo market is also very eye-catching. It is very likely that we will surpass Lianxiang this year and become the Xiaguo market."
The number one selling brand.”
Michael's meaning is very clear. Dell has achieved such results not because of Changtian Technology's hardware, but because of Dell's own technology and timely sales channel reforms.
Michael thought his speech was very good. At least he blamed Changtian Technology for breaking the contract with Changtian Technology. In this way, Changtian Technology had no right or reason to ask Dell for compensation.
When the two parties signed a cooperation agreement at the beginning of the year, the cooperation period was one year. If one of the two parties breached the contract, they could seek a certain amount of compensation from the other party (although the two parties had such an agreement, this kind of international lawsuit would really have to be sued).
The court ruled that the short term could be three to four years and the long term could be six to seven years. Chen Xiao reserves the right to pursue a lawsuit, but does not plan to pursue it now.)
Michael was waiting for Wang Xiang's rebuttal, but he didn't know that Wang Xiang never mentioned the breach of contract at all.
Wang Xiang continued to maintain a very kind attitude. He said: "Changtian Technology is preparing to hold a product launch conference in July. We sincerely invite Mr. Michael to attend the conference in Linjiang Prefecture. If Mr. Michael cannot come, we can
Our invitation is conveyed to the person in charge of Delxia Country."
Wang Xiang suddenly changed the topic, catching Michael off guard. He was quite surprised that Changtian Technology did not file a claim.
"I have sent the invitation letter to Mr. Michael's mailbox, please check it in time."
After saying this, Wang Xiang hung up the phone, leaving Michael a little confused.
Changtian Technology is going to release a new product and invite Dell to participate, so what is the new product?
Michael really couldn't think of it, but he had no interest in going to the backward Xia Kingdom to attend such a boring meeting.
After forwarding the email to the person in charge of Delxia Country, he just asked the other party to send a representative to participate.
This can be regarded as an attitude in business dealings, which not only gives you face but also does not cause trouble.
In addition to Dell, companies such as Lenovo, HP, Asus, Sony (PC Business Department), Nokia, Samsung (PC Business Department), as well as Microsoft, AMD, Intel and other companies have also received invitations from Changtian Technology through different channels.
letter.
HP, ASUS, Samsung and other companies dismiss such invitations and throw them into the trash can as junk mail.
After all, although Changtian Technology has developed to a certain extent, it is completely different from these companies. In addition, the two parties do not have any business dealings, so they are not willing to spend time attending product launches.
As the best partner of Changtian Technology, Nokia responded immediately after receiving the email and asked Vice President Simpson to attend the meeting.
Because Simpson cooperated with Changtian Technology and obtained Changtian Technology's most advanced lithium battery technology, he was appointed vice president and managing director after returning to the headquarters, with overall responsibility for the mobile phone business.
Nokia's mobile phone business is currently developing rapidly around the world, so Simpson has real power.
The most surprising thing is Microsoft.
Microsoft Xia Guo District Headquarters felt baffled after receiving the invitation letter from Changtian Technology. Not only did they not have a cooperative relationship with Changtian Technology, they were also in a competitive relationship. Some time ago, they had been quite unhappy because of the piracy of the system.
Even now, it is because Microsoft is obstructing it and successfully obstructing the cooperation between Changtian Technology and Dell.
Why did Changtian Technology send an invitation letter to itself? What's wrong with it?
Although Microsoft disdained to participate, it was very curious, so it only sent a deputy manager from Microsoft's Shanghai branch to participate.
The deputy manager was a returned overseas Chinese. When he heard that he was going to Jiangzhou for a business trip, he quickly refused.
Jiangzhou is such a backward city. Are there any five-star hotels? How can it compare with the prosperity of Shanghai?
Therefore, Microsoft ultimately did not participate in Changtian Technology’s product launch conference.
Lian Xiang was also a little surprised when he received the invitation letter, and Yang Qing was actually a little nervous. After all, Changtian Technology's strategy has always been beyond everyone's speculation.
Regarding this matter, Yang Qing did not dare to neglect and decided to send his assistant to Jiangzhou to inquire about the situation in person.
At this time, Yang Qing was also repeatedly speculating on what new products Changtian Technology was going to release, and he actually received invitations from so many companies.
Soon in July, a week later, everyone will know the answer.
