Chapter 714 I have a monopoly because you are too spicy
The Samsung Group meeting lasted for five hours and did not end until the early morning of the next day.
Finally, Kim Nam-ki’s plan was determined.
On the one hand, it is to get rid of Apple as soon as possible, and on the other hand, it is to find equipment to remind the capital and technology circles in the United States that Changtian Technology is a savage beast and absolutely cannot cooperate.
If cooperation continues, the core of Internet technology dominated by the United States will inevitably be completely hollowed out by Changtian Technology.
South Korea requires the United States to be more vigilant and preferably take measures to prohibit cooperation between American technology companies and Changtian Technology, so as to nip the development of Changtian Technology in the semiconductor field in the bud.
It was not Samsung Group that made these suggestions to the United States, but the relevant departments in South Korea.
After World War II, especially after the Cold War, South Korea devoted all its national power and bet all its bets on semiconductors and related industries, and also successfully took advantage of the United States' transfer of its semiconductor industry chain.
In the past few decades, development has been smooth, and a large number of South Korean technology companies such as Samsung and LG have developed. These technology companies and consortiums account for more than 70% of South Korea's GDP.
It can be said that if South Korea's semiconductor industry dies, then South Korea's economy will die. After all, relying on industries such as automobiles and chemicals cannot support South Korea's real economic development.
This is a matter related to the development of South Korea. Of course, the relevant departments of South Korea will come forward.
Relevant departments in South Korea have also taken great pains to completely refuse cooperation with U.S. technology companies and Changtian Technology.
I made a special trip to Xia State to collect relevant information about Changtian Technology, such as which companies Changtian Technology has cooperated with, what fields it has entered, and what fields of technology it has a unique monopoly on, etc.
I don’t know if I don’t collect them, but I will be shocked when I collect them.
South Korea discovered that Changtian Technology almost monopolized the hardware business of the entire computer and mobile phone industries.
In the computer industry, most brands of computers in Xia Guo use Jiaolong chips from Changtian Technology and motherboards produced by Angda, coupled with carbon crystal memory and carbon crystal hard drives. This is the standard package.
Not only hardware, more than 70% of the Xiaguo PC industry is using the Firefly system.
To what extent has Xia's computer industry been involved?
Because hardware performance has surpassed the U.S. semiconductor industry, most PC companies can only refine their competition in terms of service or appearance.
Changtian Technology's control over the hardware industry has spread to the world. Companies such as Dell, HP and even Asus in the Xia Guowanwan area are using Changtian Technology's hardware and Yinghuo systems.
In the Oriental region, this proportion is as high as 50%!
In the mobile phone market, especially the smartphone market, most of the emerging smartphone brands are cooperating with Changtian Technology.
If Nokia and Samsung didn't still have a share, Changtian Technology's supply share in the smartphone hardware market would exceed 60%!
This is an extremely terrifying reality.
If this is not a monopoly, then what is a monopoly?
If this continues, not only Samsung will not be able to survive, but Qualcomm, Intel, Micron and other core semiconductor companies in the United States will also not be able to survive!
Therefore, it is convenient for South Korea to quickly formulate an investigation report and send it to my father in the United States.
At the same time, Samsung asked semiconductor president Kim Nam-ki to lead a team and urgently went to the United States to negotiate with Jobs, hoping to reach an agreement on a package of cooperation between Apple and Samsung.
Samsung Group deliberately wants to make a big deal out of the fact that Changtian Technology is monopolizing hardware in the technology industry, in order to cause panic in Western capital and the technology community.
So while going to the United States, I also wrote in newspapers and media such as the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal - Changtian Technology is monopolizing the global semiconductor market.
Because this article was written in the name of a well-known semiconductor expert in the United States, and it provided detailed data on South Korea's investigation in Xiaguo, as soon as the article was published, it immediately aroused strong excitement among capitalists and technology circles in the entire West.
response.
Once bitten, twice shy.
When the American industrial chain was transferred, the semiconductor industry chain was transferred to Japan. As a result, Japan's semiconductor products crazily occupied the American market.
Seeing that the entire domestic semiconductor industry chain in the United States was about to be destroyed by Japan, they quickly signed the "Plaza Agreement" and "Semiconductor Agreement" with Japan, forcing Japan to abandon the semiconductor industry.
The terrifying power of Toyo Semiconductor is still fresh in the memory of Wall Street capital.
Therefore, after Samsung's report came out, Wall Street in the United States learned about Changtian Technology in detail.
Everyone suddenly discovered that they knew that Changtian Technology was very powerful, but they did not expect that Changtian Technology was so powerful!
In less than a year, it has become one of the major hardware suppliers of smartphones.
Wall Street capital has mixed attitudes towards Changtian Technology.
Some are wary of this, because a lot of Wall Street capital has invested in semiconductor companies such as Samsung, and the rise of Changtian Technology means that their investment income will decrease.
Of course, there are still some capitals expressing regret and remorse.
Such as IDG.
IDG originally invested in Changtian Technology's Yuedong Internet, which has now brought IDG billions of dollars in return.
IDG regrets that if it could have invested heavily in Changtian Technology and obtained the equity of Changtian Technology, the return now would not be billions of dollars, but tens of billions of dollars.
But in any case, Wall Street and the capital behind the United States are already paying attention to the situation related to Changtian Technology. They are also sharpening their knives and thinking about how to perfectly cut off the leeks of Changtian Technology, just like Wall Street cut off Dongyang.
Semiconductors are like leeks.
The news reached Changzezhou and Chen Xiao's place.
"This is today's latest Wall Street Journal. In addition, Kim Nam-ki of Samsung has gone to the United States to prepare for an interview with Steve Jobs." Song Yi delivered the newspaper to Chen Xiao.
It's almost the end of the year.
Chen Xiao originally thought that if the United States' response was slower, it would be enough to wait until next year.
Little did we know that American capitalists did not react, and Samsung was the first to feel the pain.
But this is understandable. After all, if Samsung does not take measures, its core semiconductor business, in addition to chips, may be completely cannibalized by Changtian Technology.
But South Korea also has its own dilemmas.
After all, Xia is South Korea's largest trading partner.
The sales of many Samsung products in Xia Country are quite good.
Therefore, whether it is South Korea or Samsung, they are not willing to be the bad guys directly. Instead, they report to the United States and let the United States be the bad guy.
Chen Xiao looked at the Wall Street Journal, and the headline above was really shocking - "Changtian Technology Semiconductor Products Have Achieved a Monopoly."
This title is indeed scary.
Song Yi said: "The Western media just likes to exaggerate the facts, and the headlines are also very scary."
Chen Xiao pointed to the word "monopoly" and said: "What is monopoly? Changtian Technology upholds fairness, justice and trade continuity. What we pay attention to is fair competition!"
"We are not a monopoly because other companies' products are too mediocre (spicy chicken) and consumers have no better choice."
Song Yi couldn't help laughing.
This is indeed the case.
Apple, Motorola and other companies are such great companies!
Apple is so careful with its budget that it can save even one screw from Foxconn.
So they chose Changtian Technology not because Changtian Technology implemented dumping or other kidnapping methods, but because of real technological victory.
Whether it is Samsung or LG, if they have better products, Apple and Motorola are willing to purchase them, but unfortunately they don’t have them!
Song Yi looked at Chen Xiao, she was still a little worried, "So this time Samsung goes to the United States to meet with Steve Jobs, will it affect our hardware supply?"
This question really made Chen Xiao very cautious.
Because in the United States, capital has always directed technology.
This time after Samsung went to the United States to submit its letter of nomination, the United States will definitely pay attention to the development of Changtian Technology and re-examine its relationship with Changtian Plan.
Chen Xiao will prepare for the worst.
But for now, the last resort is to stay the same in the face of change.
Chen Xiao said: "The contracts signed between Apple and us are based on payment first and production later. Their money has already been paid, so there is no need to worry too much about Apple breaking the contract."
"Let's see how Apple responds."
Chen Xiao said to Song Yi: "As long as our technological products are powerful enough, attractive enough, and changing the rules of the entire game, we have nothing to fear!"
Chen Xiao said this very domineeringly, which made Song Yi's heart flutter.
In the past, when Xia Guo's technology company cooperated with Western companies, what they cared most about was the Western company's experience. They were afraid that the other party would be dissatisfied and canceled the order.
This feeling has always been with Xia Guo Enterprises in the coastal areas and lingers.
Because in the past when Xia Guo Company dealt with Western companies, we were generally at the downstream end of the industrial chain.
Whether it is clothing, toys or other manufacturing industries, most of them are OEM.
All designs and markets are in the West.
Therefore, these OEMs in Xia are very cautious when dealing with the West, and are deeply afraid of offending the other party. As long as the other party is dissatisfied, they will immediately modify it.
Changtian Technology's current attitude towards Western companies is completely different from the traditional Xia foreign trade enterprises.
Changtian Technology is based on me, and you should do it according to my requirements.
Chen Xiao said to Song Yi: "A few days ago, France asked Wang Xiang to visit the microbial power plant in France. Because it was quite busy during this period, Wang Xiang has not traveled."
"Well, let Wang Xiang make preparations here and lead a delegation to inspect the French market."
Song Yi said with some surprise: "Inspect France?!"
Chen Xiao nodded and said: "This is to prepare for the worst in the cold winter of Changtian Technology."
"The United Kingdom is known as Europe's troublemaker, because since its birth, it has always placed itself outside Europe and acted as an offshore balancer. The more chaotic the European continent is, the higher the profits the United Kingdom will gain."
"Similarly, although the United States is on the American continent and is a continental and maritime country, it has never regarded itself as a continental country. Instead, it has inherited the old British method of playing offshore balance."
"The more chaotic the world is, the better it will be for the United States, as long as the United States' domestic development is in trouble or there are forces that surpass the United States in the world."
"The other side will try every means to mess up the whole world in order to gain huge benefits."
"The United States has never considered itself a part of the world but stayed out of it."
Song Yi was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He had no idea that the world would be so complicated. This was obviously related to the interests of Changtian Technology in the United States.
Chen Xiao said: "I am convinced that if the United States regards our cooperation with American technology as a threat instead of mutual benefit and win-win, it will definitely take all means to prevent Changtian Technology from entering the US market."
"The world is diverse, not isolated. If the United States really takes this worst step, then Europe will be our biggest variable."
Song Yi saw ambition in her boss's eyes.
Chen Xiao's goal is not only to build Changtian Technology into the best technology company in Xia State, but also to build it into the best technology company in the world.
Chen Xiao's purpose is not only to lead Xia's science and technology to the top of the world, but also to lead the direction of global science and technology development.
Chen Xiao said: "If possible, we are willing to invest in the European market."
Whether he can drag Europe into the water, Chen Xiao is split between 50 and 50.
The era of mobile phones belonging to Nokia is gone.
In the era of mobile Internet, whether it is hardware or software, Europe is far behind Xia Guo and has fallen into recession.
Europeans also have their own pride, and they are not willing to tie all their interests to the United States.
Then Changtian Technology will give Europe a chance.
Is Europe willing to ensure that its technology industry leads the world in the new era and does not fall behind the United States?
Song Yi said: "I will report the relevant situation to Mr. Wang immediately."
After Song Yi left the office, Chen Xiao sat in his seat and fell into deep thought.
This depends on the charm of Steve Jobs.
Steve Jobs was a bohemian boss. If he was doing it for Apple, he would never give up cooperation with Changtian Technology.
After all, only Changtian Technology can lead Apple to do its best.
But now there is a very serious problem.
If the history of the parallel world has not changed much.
Steve Jobs probably had less than a year to live.
In a year's time, Apple will change its leadership.
From then on, Apple will be completely reduced to a money-making tool for the capital behind it, and its innovation capabilities will also be greatly reduced.
At which point, all the sentiments and ideals of the mobile era were put on the back burner.
However, historical development is moving forward.
Chen Xiao firmly believes that as long as he is strong enough, all difficulties will be solved.
In the United States, under the exaggeration of public opinion, Changtian Technology is like a savage beast, constantly encroaching on the semiconductor market of the United States.
This feeling is even more terrifying than the original Toyo Semiconductor era.
Against this background, Kim Nam-ki, the head of Samsung Semiconductor, sat across from Jobs and the two sides held secret talks.
Kim Nam-ki proposed Samsung's plan. Samsung is willing to make concessions to Apple in the chip field, but hopes that Apple can terminate its cooperation with Changtian Technology in time.
