Chapter 720 IDG High Level Emergency Visit to China
All the capital on Wall Street hopes that Changtian Technology will die, with the exception of one company.
That's IDG.
IDG has invested in Changtian Technology. Although it only holds shares in the subsidiary of Changtian Technology, such a small amount of shares has already made IDG full.
This time IDG's senior management came forward and prepared to help Changtian Technology.
It's not because they are merciful and think Changtian Technology is their friend.
Instead, I think this time is the best opportunity to make money.
As long as Changtian Technology encounters a crisis, it means that IDG has the opportunity to become the best partner of Changtian Technology just like when Changtian Technology first started its business.
IDG first sent a team to Apple. They negotiated with Apple but did not discuss anything substantive.
I just hope to judge Apple’s attitude towards Changtian Technology from the tone and attitude of the negotiations.
Is it a firm cooperation or will it change due to some domestic policy factors and economic factors?
IDG's team is professional.
Already got some very useful information from Apple.
At present, Apple, like Motorola and HTC, is facing huge domestic pressure, especially capital pressure, and is about to be unable to withstand it.
In fact, there are some objections in the capital community.
For example, after Apple uses Changtian Technology's hardware, it can indeed gain certain advantages among all smartphones and achieve high sales.
But if all mobile phone manufacturers do not use Changtian Technology's hardware, then Apple's advantages are still there and it can still achieve extremely high sales.
Smart people have already seen that Changtian Technology plays a role in this.
He just wants all smartphone manufacturers to roll up.
So on the surface it is Apple that makes the profit, but in fact it is Changtian Technology that makes the profit.
Because Changtian Technology has the say in important hardware in the mobile phone industry, this is very fatal.
This time the financial war between Changtian Technology and Wall Street has exposed the strength of Changtian Technology.
A Xia Guo company that can use countless cash, countless resources, and even countless information will definitely not be accepted by the capital behind the semiconductor industry.
In the future that can be encountered.
These capitals will definitely take more drastic measures to prevent the rise of a terrifying company like Changtian Technology.
The most effective method that Wall Street can adopt is also the first method, which is to interfere with the hardware of Changtian Technology used by relevant enterprises.
This is just the first card.
Later, it may incite public attention on product safety or other aspects to completely put pressure on companies such as Apple.
So Apple has a premonition and is also making plans for its future.
IDG knows that Apple has prepared for the worst.
So how can I solve this problem and let IDG make profits from it?
As a veteran in the capital market.
Of course IDG has a solution.
IDG is preparing to negotiate with Changtian Technology.
And the level of negotiations this time is very high.
Instead of asking the CEO of IDG Xia Guo to take action, global vice president Kevin Sen went directly to Xia Guo.
However, after Kevinson arrived in Xia Kingdom, he did not immediately go to the Changtian Technology headquarters in Changzezhou. Instead, he went to Yanjing to comprehensively collect the existing information on Changtian Technology.
In addition to gathering intelligence, Kevinson is also waiting for the right opportunity.
Kevinson actually deals with many technology companies in Xia Guo.
Of course, he is also very familiar with the culture of Xia Kingdom.
He knows very well that it is not easy to provide help in times of need, and it is meaningless to add icing on the cake.
To cooperate with Changtian Technology, we must get the maximum profit from it.
Then the opportunity you are waiting for must not be the icing on the cake, but a timely help.
Going to Changtian Technology now is no different from icing on the cake. The bargaining chips will be very high, and IDG will pay a larger price.
Need to wait a little longer.
Kevinson is indeed a veteran in the capital world, and his guess was not wrong at all.
The terrifying strength of Changtian Technology has shocked the entire capital world in the United States.
And measures are being taken urgently.
At the same time, the New York Times, Washington Post and other American media were also conducting investigations on the streets of the United States.
The content of the survey is actually very simple. It is to ask consumers in the United States——
When you learn that the storage and other hardware in smartphones come from Xia Guochangtian Technology, will you buy these smartphones?
This is the first question of the survey.
Faced with this problem, consumers can certainly make choices that suit their own interests.
Many consumers have already used iPhoC mobile phones, and of course they have felt that the performance of this generation of mobile phones is completely different from commercial mobile phones.
One of the reasons is that there is Changtian Technology hardware.
So consumers responded one after another.
"Of course I'm willing to use it, why not?"
"Dear, the performance of the iPhone 4 is very good, the speed is very fast, the Internet is smooth, and it is very comfortable to play games. If it has hardware from Xia Guochangtian Technology, I think it is acceptable."
"I am just an ordinary consumer. I don't care where the hardware of the phone comes from. I only care that I am using iPhone 4. This is the most perfect mobile phone in this century, bar none."
"I am using HTC now. I used to use Nokia mobile phones before. I think HTC's new generation mobile phones are very easy to use. I don't care where the hardware in the mobile phone comes from."
The first question is basically answered like this.
American consumers don’t care where the parts of their mobile phones come from, or even where they are produced.
They only care about two things.
The first one is the brand of the mobile phone.
The most popular brand on the market right now is of course iPhone.
As long as the phone is an iPhone, consumers will like it.
This is the experience of using a mobile phone.
As long as the user experience of the mobile phone can satisfy consumers' approval, then it is OK.
But don't expect the Western media to be fair and impartial.
The second question of the New York Times is very vicious.
The reporter took the microphone and conducted random interviews, and someone from the crowd in the square said:
"If there is definite news, Changtian Technology's hardware may steal users' privacy. After your call records, account information, and social media information are transmitted to Xia State, in this case, you are still willing to use it.
A product of Changtian Technology Hardware?”
The New York Times is actually very vicious in asking questions like this, and its intentions are extremely evil.
He said that if there is definite information.
Add if to the exact message.
That is to say, this question is hypothetical.
However, the passers-by who heard this question did not hear any assumptions or what-ifs.
The key point is to listen to the following questions.
Changtian Technology's hardware may steal your private information and send this part of the invisible information to Xia Kingdom.
How can this happen!
This is absolutely not possible!
Because under the long-term exaggeration of the West, the Xia Kingdom is not a particularly beautiful country in the hearts of the West.
In addition to being ignorant and backward, a series of negative words such as copycat deception have also been added in recent years.
So when they heard that their data was going to be sent to Xia State, the person being interviewed was immediately shocked.
"What is absolutely not allowed?!"
"If that were the case, I would never use an iPhone!"
"I like the iPhone very much, but I hope the iPhone doesn't use effects hardware."
Well, through this street interview and investigation.
Media outlets such as The New York Times and The Washington Post have achieved their goals.
Just to exaggerate this atmosphere.
Let most consumers in the United States realize that Changtian Technology's products are not so reliable.
In fact, this kind of try has already been used when Changtian Technology launched the system.
But Americans don’t know if they are really stupid or if the media is simply too powerful and easy to fool.
They really believed this kind of propaganda from the media, and this excuse has been used repeatedly by Americans.
The second step after building public opinion is to take measures.
Because Changtian Technology is a Xiaguo company, the other side of the ocean took two measures.
The first measure is to urge technology companies such as Apple to pay attention to protecting user privacy and network security.
The second one is to make propaganda through the media and strongly demand supervision of the safety behavior of Changtian Technology.
Both of these are nonsense, of course.
But the aggressive rhetoric already means that the United States is likely to take further measures.
In Changzezhou, Chen Xiao also paid attention to relevant news at any time.
As soon as he saw the American media starting to build momentum, he knew that the United States was likely to take more intense countermeasures.
He asked Wang Xiang about the results of his inspection in France.
Wang Xiang said: "The French company Bouygues is very interested in our investment, and the specific cooperation is still under negotiation."
Chen Xiao did nothing wrong at all. Europe is still Europe.
I still hope that I can stand in Europe at the center of the world.
Although Europeans and Americans are both white, Americans more inherit British blood and play offshore balancing.
Europeans regard themselves as the main body of the world and hope to create their own glorious history and not be eliminated by this era.
As the largest telecommunications company in France, everyone hopes to obtain the production and sales rights of some high-precision hardware, especially in the communications industry, through cooperation with Changtian Technology.
This will allow France to return to the center of the world and compete with the most advanced countries in the world in the field of mobile Internet that has arrived.
At present, the most advanced industries in Europe are automobile energy and so on. There is not a single semiconductor company or a mobile communication company.
This has proven that Europe is lagging behind.
Chen Xiao thought for a while and said after a while: "When necessary, we can give up the use life of some intellectual property rights and let these European companies produce our products, which will give us a greater sense of belonging and security."
Wang Xiang immediately said: "I will relay the conditions to the other party immediately."
While the two were talking.
Song Yi hurriedly walked in and said: "The other side of the ocean suddenly strengthened the security inspection of their own communication equipment. Because we are the hardware supplier, we have been implicated."
"According to the review agreement, all hardware must meet safety standards before it can be assembled into a terminal and enter the U.S. market."
Song Yi immediately handed the relevant review standards to Chen Xiao.
This review decision is actually aimed at Changtian Technology.
The content of the review is very detailed, although it cannot prevent Changtian Technology’s hardware from entering the United States.
But it will increase the time cost of exporting hardware to the United States.
Because in the past, Changtian Technology's products would be sent directly to the Bay Area or the coastal areas of Xia Kingdom.
After the mobile phones are produced here, the mobile phone products are sent to the United States.
After that, the hardware will be sent to the United States for inspection. After passing the inspection, it will be sent back to the coastal areas or the Gulf of Xia for use in the production of mobile phones.
If this isn’t torturing people, what is it?
And it will also disgust Changtian Technology to prepare for the next move.
Chen Xiao sneered and said: "We have an important point. As long as the United States does not stop our supply, we will deliver the products to customers."
"All the increased costs will be borne by the customer."
Sure enough, Chen Xiao had just finished saying this.
Specialists from HTC and Apple immediately called Changtian Technology, hoping that Changtian Technology could prepare relevant review materials.
From now on, every batch of goods sent will be subject to safety review, which is a waste of Changtian Technology's cost.
Apple has been very popular recently. Changtian Technology has already sent a batch of 50,000 pieces of hardware products to the factory. Now they have to take them out from the factory and send them to the other side of the ocean for inspection. After passing the inspection, they will be sent back to be assembled into mobile phones.
This greatly delays Apple's time.
Apple hopes that Changtian Technology can provide relevant procedures as soon as possible to ensure the production of iPhone 4.
After all, iPhone 4 has become a global hit and orders are already fully booked.
Chen Xiao said: "Don't pay attention to what Apple says. They clearly know who is causing trouble. There is no point in urging us anymore."
In fact, Chen Xiao was already ready to run out of stock at this time.
Kevinson knew the time had come.
He immediately went to Changzezhou from Yanjing, hoping to have an interview with Chen Xiao.
Of course Chen Xiao knew IDG’s intentions, and IDG was already one of the shareholders of Yuedong Internet.
So Chen Xiao still came forward and met with Kevinson in the office.
The first thing Kevinson said after meeting Chen Xiao was that the United States would definitely take more drastic measures to prohibit Changtian Technology's hardware from being installed on American brand mobile phones. He hoped that Changtian Technology would pay attention to this.
After Kevinson said this, he didn't see any surprised expression on Chen Xiao's face.
Kevinson said: "According to the information we have, the current main customers of Changtian Technology's hardware products are American mobile phone manufacturers."
“This year, Changtian Technology’s hardware share and profit contribution have increased significantly compared to last year.”
"If the United States really introduces relevant policies and laws to prohibit Changtian Technology's hardware from being installed on iPhone devices, this will be an extremely serious blow to Changtian Technology."
“As a partner of Changtian Technology, IDG has relevant response policies.”
