Chapter 634 I have always looked down on the Xia Guo brand
Li Zhaoming complained all the time, but he knew very well that Changtian Technology was not something that China Mobile could afford to offend.
Li Zhaoming believes that Wen Qi, the newly appointed female CEO of Bird Communications, a subsidiary of Changtian Technology, may not be very knowledgeable.
The olive branch offered by Mobile this time can bring tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of profits to the Bird Company.
Logically speaking, no one can refuse this condition.
Li Zhaoming immediately asked his assistant to come over, and he personally drafted a letter, explaining in detail the specific plan of this cooperation between China Mobile and Changtian Technology, as well as the specific performance of a win-win situation between China Mobile and Changtian Technology.
After completing the letter, Li Shaoji sent it to Bird Communications, a subsidiary of Changtian Technology, in the name of the mobile company headquarters.
After Wen Qi saw the letter from China Mobile Corporation, she politely replied.
The content is still not considered for the time being.
After China Mobile Corporation received Wenqi's reply, the senior management was extremely angry.
Although China Mobile and Changtian Technology have cooperated before, the cooperation process between the two parties was not pleasant.
In order to obtain Changtian Technology's 3G communication technology, China Mobile spent a lot of effort and owed a lot of favors.
Sometimes these favors can not only be repaid with money, but also require paying a considerable price.
Therefore, even if China Mobile obtained Changtian Technology's 3G communication technology, no one from top to bottom of China Mobile expressed gratitude or gratitude to Changtian Technology. Instead, they felt very unhappy.
Today, Changtian Technology once again refused to move, and the conflict between the two parties has deepened, at least that's what China Mobile thinks.
There will be a change of leadership at the top level of China Mobile soon.
The young and promising Li Zhaoming is one of the candidates, and his competitor is a certain second-generation Guo Xingquan who came from the air.
If both parties want to take the position of mobile leaders, increasing the number of 3G users as quickly as possible is an assessment for both parties.
The solution Li Zhaoming came up with was to join forces with Changtian Technology and use Xiaoniu Mobile as an opportunity to attract a large number of young users.
Because Lee Shau Kee always believes that young users are the high-quality customer group in the future.
Judging from this reply letter from Changtian Technology, Lee Shau Kee’s policy has failed.
At the senior management meeting of China Mobile, Lee Shau Kee was criticized by other senior executives, shareholders and directors.
Guo Xingquan stood up and spoke: "Mr. Li's policy is still feasible. Who knows if Changtian Technology will not do anything? Changtian Technology has no idea about the mobile user group and future growth potential."
"They don't cooperate with us. This is their mistake. If they can cooperate with us, I believe that the sales volume of Bird mobile phones next year will definitely exceed 500,000 units, and even return to the number one position in the domestic mobile phone rankings."
Guo Xingquan was very artistic when he spoke, which not only gave Li Zhaoming a lot of face, but also pointed out Li Zhaoming's incompetence in his work.
This made Li Zhaoming feel unhappy, but he had no way to argue with Guo Xingquan.
Only then did Guo Xingquan express his intention. He took out a contract from the folder and said: "This is the plan I came up with after communicating with Nokia Xia headquarters during this period."
"Nokia is willing to use some models to cooperate with our mobile phone, including feature phones and smartphones."
"Nokia has a very good reputation. Whether it is a feature phone or a smartphone, it has a very strong performance in the market and has been recognized and loved by consumers."
"Nokia will release new mobile phones this year. Among them, N95 has obtained network access permission and will be launched in about May. I negotiated with Nokia Xia China Headquarters and successfully obtained the agency sales rights of Nokia N95."
"As long as N95 is released, it will definitely be recognized and loved by consumers. I believe this will be helpful for our mobile phone to attract users and gain more new users!"
After Guo Xingquan finished speaking, he received unanimous affirmation from China Mobile's senior management.
The senior management nodded one after another, feeling that Guo Xingquan's plan was much more mature than Lee Shau Kee's.
"Board only has one mobile phone, while Nokia has many mobile phones. Our cooperation with Nokia is obviously better than that of Bird, so we have a better range of choices."
"We have tried to negotiate with Nokia before, but Nokia's asking price was too high. This time, Vice President Guo was able to get Nokia's intention to cooperate, and the conditions were within our acceptable range. This was also not easy."
"Mr. Guo is quite good!"
China Mobile's senior executives applauded and gave Guo Xingquan the warmest possible support.
Li Zhaoming felt quite unhappy when he saw this scene.
Working with Nokia?
It’s not that Li Zhaoming didn’t consider this kind of thing.
Guo Xingquan can negotiate a good contract, and so can Li Zhaoming.
Why didn't Li Zhaoming continue to talk to Nokia?
The most fundamental reason is that Li Zhaoming feels that Nokia's mobile phones are too rough and will be surpassed by Apple and other brands sooner or later.
Changtian Technology made a bold move to enter the mobile phone industry last year and completed the acquisition of Waveguide.
This shows that Changtian Technology is determined to win the mobile phone industry.
According to the previous achievements of Changtian Technology in the fields involved, Changtian Technology will definitely also achieve brilliant achievements in the mobile phone industry.
Now Lee Shau-kee hopes to cooperate with Changtian Technology. What he is interested in is not the Xiaoniu mobile phone of Changtian Technology's subsidiary Bird Company, but the future of Changtian Technology's mobile phone business.
When cooperating with Nokia, Nokia already has a very strong brand appeal and there is no lack of market. At this time, cooperation with Nokia has to pay a certain price.
It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to provide help when it is timely.
Who knows that Changtian Technology doesn't appreciate it at all? Maybe Changtian Technology has its own ideas.
It seems that senior executives of China Mobile are interested in the plan between Guo Xingquan and Nokia.
Li Zhaoming could only let out a long sigh and silently exited the conference room.
Some things will not change according to his will.
Today, China Mobile did not work harder to seek cooperation with Changtian Technology, but instead fell into the arms of Nokia.
Time will tell everything, and the market will tell China Mobile’s executives in a year or two whether their decision today was correct.
At this time at the Nokia Xia headquarters in Yanjing.
Nokia's senior management and marketing department have been paying close attention to the trends of Changtian Technology and Bird.
At the end of last year, the whirlwind of youth and photography caused by the Bird Girl mobile phone really made Nokia very nervous.
50,000 Xiaoniu mobile phones were sold out in a short period of time, which shocked Nokia's marketing department.
Fortunately, after 50,000 Xiaoniu mobile phones were sold out, Bird no longer had new mobile phone products.
Moreover, the audience of Xiaoniu Cell Phone is only young people who like to take pictures, especially young women, and it does not have universal significance.
This made Nokia's market analysts breathe a sigh of relief. They felt that the waveguide mobile phone was mediocre and not very competitive.
Now Nokia's Xiaguo headquarters has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with China Mobile.
This has made China Mobile's marketing and technology departments completely forget that Changtian Technology once used its own operating system to produce mobile phones.
And we came to the conclusion that Changtian Technology’s mobile phones have a small audience and low production volume.
Nokia's Yanjing headquarters sent this market judgment to Nokia's Finland headquarters via email.
Simpson was the first senior headquarters official to receive a research report on Changtian Technology’s mobile phone market.
After he saw the market report on the mobile phone companies affiliated to Changtian Technology given by the Yanjing headquarters, his first reaction was that he didn't believe it.
He absolutely does not believe that Changtian Technology has gone to great lengths to enter the mobile phone industry just to make a feature phone that takes great photos.
But when he advised CEO Ollila, Ollila had no doubts about the market situation report from Xia Guo.
Olia told Simpson: "The global mobile phone market has entered the Red Sea era. It is quite difficult for emerging brands to enter this industry and develop."
"We must remember that our competitors are Samsung, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, BlackBerry and Dopod, not the waveguide from Xia Guo."
"Xia Guo's mobile phone brand has never been a competitor we considered."
Ollila said: "In 2008, Nokia will continue to remain the number one in the world! Mr. Simpson, I hope you will pay more attention to the market in the entire Asia-Pacific region!"
In Ollila's view, Nokia's real rival has never had Xia Guo's brand, and it never had a future.
Ollila is most worried about Samsung right now.
Samsung is currently performing strongly in both Asian and global markets.
And Samsung has three advantages that Nokia does not have.
A Samsung phone has its own independent chip production capacity. The second is Samsung's storage, which is world-leading (Changtian Technology's carbon crystal storage is not considered). The third is Samsung's very good looks.
Currently, Samsung is developing its own mobile operating system independently of Symbian, and has begun trials on some mobile phones, and has achieved good results.
Therefore, Nokia feels that the battle for the king of the global mobile phone market is, after all, a battle between Nokia and Samsung.
I have to say here that Samsung, the country of choice, is indeed quite powerful and is a living fossil in the mobile phone industry.
From the feature phone era to the Symbian era, to the future Android era.
Many mobile phone manufacturers have died, and many new ones have emerged.
Samsung has never fallen behind and has even occupied the number one position in the world for a long time.
We can despise the enemy strategically, but we must pay attention to the enemy tactically.
Although Samsung makes people feel disgusting, its tenacious vitality and innovative capabilities are indeed worth learning from many companies.
Simpson originally wanted to say a few more words, but Ollila would interrupt him as soon as he started.
He could only let out a long sigh and silently pray in his heart, hoping that Ollila would not make a mistake this time.
Simpson had a vague feeling that Changtian Technology would never be able to produce just 50,000 feature phones.
Changzezhou Changtian Technology Headquarters.
Changtian Technology’s graduate school recruits students twice a year.
Once in spring and once in autumn.
Chen Xiao, who is in the office, has just finished sorting out information related to aerospace engines.
Chen Xiao is thinking about whether to add a related major in aviation power to the graduate school before spring enrollment.
After all, if you want to implement a super-large aero-engine project with a thrust of 100 tons, it is completely insufficient to rely solely on Chen Xiao to conduct simulation experiments on a computer.
Chen Xiao needs a laboratory, scientific researchers, a large amount of experimental equipment, cooperation with some domestic military research companies, and even the world's top wind tunnel.
Chen Xiao suddenly thought that He Jiang, the heavyweight engineer of the Taihang Turbofan 10 engine, was receiving treatment in the intensive care center.
What is He Jiang's current situation?
Chen Xiao still has some questions about the engine and plans to discuss them with the relevant national laboratories.
He Jiang is now in Changzezhou, so having a meaningful dialogue with him will also be helpful to Chen Xiao in completing the landing of a large aeroengine.
He Jiang has been hospitalized for several days.
There has been no bad news from the intensive care center for such a long time.
This shows that the treatment of He Jiang was relatively successful.
Chen Xiao made a call to Qu Ping, and the two parties made an appointment to go to the intensive care center to visit the chief designer.
After meeting Qu Ping.
Chen Xiao then realized that He Jiang's situation was actually not good.
"Advanced stage of small cell lung cancer, not mid-to-late stage of small cell lung cancer."
"At present, we have used corresponding medical means to control the patient's condition."
"But his cancer had spread to his kidneys and brain."
Qu Ping sighed and said: "Even if we use combined colony therapy to remove the patient's lungs and let them rely on colonies to complete aerobic respiration, it will be difficult for us to prevent the spread of cancer cells in other organs."
It was during this period that He Jiang was rescued in Changzezhou, but his treatment plan has not yet been finalized.
Currently, only conservative radiotherapy and chemotherapy are performed.
The country even sent Fudan University's proton and heavy ion equipment to Changzezhou by sea. However, all these treatments can only prolong He Jiang's life as much as possible, but cannot completely cure He Jiang's disease.
After hearing the news, Chen Xiao frowned.
Combined bacterial culture therapy can only treat severe lung diseases and cannot treat cancer.
It would be okay if the cancer cells have not spread. Now the cancer cells have spread throughout the body and have reached the stage of spread.
This is very difficult to do.
Qu Ping added: "Currently, the relevant national departments are trying to find ways to purchase osimertinib from the United States, which is not yet on the market, but it seems to be quite difficult at the moment."
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Let's go over and have a look."
At this time in the United States, there is an intelligence agency.
The intelligence agency has learned that He Jiang, the chief designer of the Turbofan 10 engine, the largest engine being developed by Xia Guo, has small cell lung cancer.
Their intelligence network is very wide.
We got this news even earlier than some of He Jiang's relatives got the news.
Moreover, the intelligence agencies also know that the relevant departments of Xia State are urgently negotiating with AstraZeneca in the United States as well as some hospitals and health departments.
Hope to be able to purchase some osimertinib.
The intelligence agency certainly knew He Jiang's importance to Xia Guo's large engine research and development project.
Some history is really written by one or two people.
He Jiang is such an important person.
From the perspective of the U.S. intelligence agency, such an engineer would have been assassinated long ago if he had the opportunity. Now he is about to die. Of course, he is celebrating his death, so how can he still save him?
