Xinlang Technology: "Breaking news, Changtian Technology has undergone major personnel changes and subsidiary structure changes. The two subsidiaries of Changtian Technology, Nokia and Bird Technology, merged into one to establish Hanhai Technology Co., Ltd., and Steve Jobs was appointed as Hanhai Technology
CEO.”
"New York Times": "Jobs defected to Apple to join Changtian Technology!"
"Washington Post": "Jobs went to Xia Guo to join Changtian Technology. Changtian Technology's newly established Hanhai Technology Co., Ltd. directly competes with Apple."
"Asahi Shimbun": "Jobs joined Changtian Technology, and Changtian Technology officially entered the smartphone industry."
This high-level meeting of Changtian Technology is only an internal meeting.
However, because Bird Technology is a listed company, Bird Company announced the above information to shareholders as required.
Whether it is Waveguide Technology or Yuedong Internet, they both represent Changtian Technology behind them.
Therefore, as soon as Bird Technology rose to the limit, shareholders and the media rushed to find the reason for the limit.
Only then did we discover that Changtian Technology had already established Hanhai Technology and made Jobs the CEO of Hanhai Technology.
This is of course big news, and the media rushed to report it.
Many reporters flocked here, hoping to get first-hand news from Changtian Technology.
However, Changtian Technology did not release any information to the outside world and did not accept interviews. The reporters could only make guesses and speculations based on the existing information.
After the high-level meeting of Changtian Technology was held, the real work had just begun.
To launch the Hanhai mobile phone, there are no problems in terms of technology, production and sales channels.
What Changtian Technology now wants to solve is high-level design issues.
Nokia's shares have long been delisted from major exchanges, so Changtian Technology had 100% controlling interest when it acquired Nokia's mobile phone business.
There is absolutely no problem for Hanhai mobile phones to be sold in the Western market under the name of Nokia. All profits will be attributed to the head office of Changtian Technology. In the future, the head office will redistribute this part of the profits in other ways (including transfer payments).
But waveguide technology has some troubles.
Because Bird Technology is a listed company, Changtian Technology holds 60% of the shares of Bird Company.
If Hanhai Mobile's profits in non-Western markets are all attributed to Bird Technology, then at least 40% of this profit will be distributed to major shareholders.
It’s not that Changtian Technology is quite stingy and unwilling to share profits, but Hanhai Company has just been established, and it’s unknown how mobile phone sales will be.
Whether it is from the perspective of profit distribution principles or the future development of Hanhai Mobile, the current profit distribution is definitely incorrect.
Therefore, Chen Xiao used some techniques in the top-level design of Hanhai Company.
Hanhai Company is responsible for the research and development, production, etc. of mobile phones.
Needless to say, Nokia sells its products however it wants. After all, it is a wholly-owned subsidiary.
Bird Technology is only a seller of Hanhai mobile phones, and the profits from the sales have been redistributed within Hanhai Company.
In this way, most of the profits from selling Hanhai mobile phones in non-Western markets will go to Hanhai Corporation. Bird Technology can get a part of the profits, but not too much.
This approach is in line with the current interests of Changtian Technology.
As for whether the brand name of Bird Technology will be needed in the future, Changtian Technology will need to conduct a new study and analysis after the sales of Hanhai Mobile Phones.
Changtian Technology prepared a villa for Jobs on Tianyue Island, which is adjacent to Wang Xiang's residence.
This is the treatment Changtian Technology gives to the group’s senior executives.
Changtian Technology’s benefits are very good.
If you are a middle-level employee of the group (middle-level employee of the headquarters or senior employee of a subsidiary), you will have your own apartment (more than 130 square meters) in Nagasawa Island. Ordinary full-time employees will have an employee apartment (at the place where the employee works).
, 50 square meters for non-couples, 70 square meters for couples or married people, and if no housing is provided, a cash subsidy for housing in line with the local area will be given).
Jobs hasn't brought his family over yet.
Even his family had just learned about his impulsive move to join Changtian Technology from the news.
At this time, Jobs didn't have time to tell his family the whole story, because he was spending all his time discussing with Wang Xiang, looking at the release time and method of the mobile phone, as well as future sales channels, etc.
However, he firmly believes that after this period of busy time, he can bring his family over to take a look, and they will definitely fall in love with the environment of Nagasawa Island.
After detailed research and judgment, Chen Xiao, Wang Xiang and Steve Jobs believe that Apple is likely to change the annual press conference and advance it to around March or April of 2013.
It is at least half a year earlier than Apple’s annual release in September.
Therefore, the release time of Hanhai mobile phone is also set in March or April of 2013.
Changtian Technology has finalized all hardware standards and system standards for Hanhai mobile phones, and is currently producing at full capacity.
Wang Xiang's opinion is that the first batch should be to produce 100,000 mobile phones first. After all, the output of Changtian Technology is there. If the sales of mobile phones are not bad, then the production will be accelerated at full capacity.
Changtian Technology has passed the radical development stage and needs a relatively stable CEO like Wang Xiang.
And Jobs knew too much about smartphones.
His opinion is to stock at least 2 million units.
"As long as Hanhai mobile phones are released on the market, there will be no competitors at all."
This was Jobs's judgment on Hanhai Mobile. In front of Hanhai Mobile, Jobs even believed that Apple's iPhone series had no competitiveness.
The final decision rests with Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao said: “We must learn from the lessons of the iPhone.”
Jobs, Wang Xiang, Simpson, Wen Qi and others still didn't understand what Chen Xiao said.
Learn the lessons of the iPhone.
What lessons can be learned from the iPhone?
Is it because the iPhone 5 does not use Changtian Technology’s hardware, so its sales are poor?
But Hanhai mobile phones originally had to use hardware from Changtian Technology.
Chen Xiao said: "We must learn from the lesson that the iPhone was out of stock when it was first sold. This is the lack of iPhone stock."
"So my opinion is that from now to April next year, we must prepare at least 10 million Hanhai mobile phones."
"Ten million units!" Wang Xiang exclaimed.
The production cost of 10 million units is absolutely affordable with Changtian Technology's current size.
But if sales are not good, isn’t this 10 million a waste?
Chen Xiaoze said: "Changtian Technology spent so much energy to make Hanhai Mobile Phone, I never thought that it would fail. If Hanhai Mobile Phone fails, it will be the failure of Changtian Technology as a whole."
"Currently, in addition to Apple, companies such as HTC and Motorola have also reduced their use of Changtian Technology hardware."
"Our remaining hardware products and free production lines can all be put into the production of Hanhai mobile phones."
The five-person small meeting decided in this way.
Changtian Technology is working hard to prepare for April next year.
By April next year, the entire Xia Kingdom’s 4G network should be completed.
Major countries and major cities in Europe should also be able to use 4G communications.
Apple headquarters on the other side of the ocean at this moment.
Cook and his team were shocked.
Cook visited Jobs just a few days ago and asked Jobs whether he knew whether Changtian Technology would launch 4G communications.
As a result, Jobs's answer was that he didn't know.
If Jobs really didn't know, forget it. The key is that as soon as Cook left, Jobs went to Xia Guo and joined Changtian Technology.
I don't know, this is Jobs doing it on purpose.
Apple is facing a formidable enemy right now.
Because Jobs was the founder of the iPhone, in addition to possessing some of the secrets of the iPhone, he also had access to the resources of some of the iPhone’s suppliers.
Such as chips, screens, communication basebands, etc.
For Changtian Technology to make mobile phones, it is definitely not enough to rely on the hardware in its hands. It must look for chips, screens, communication basebands and other other hardware.
There is no way to produce these hardware with Xia Guo's current technology. We can only turn to other manufacturers for help, and it is very likely that it is Apple's supply chain.
For example, chips. Currently, there are only two chips that can support smartphones: Qualcomm and Samsung. Of course, if Changtian Technology can design chips, it will be half the chip maker.
Changtian Technology's hardware company and its holding company Xiaxin International are able to design and produce chips respectively.
But they are all made into relatively "rough" computer chips and have never been produced as mobile phone chips.
If the hardware company of Changtian Technology designed a more advanced mobile phone chip and Xiaxin International could produce it, it would have been big news, but so far the entire industry has not received any news.
Therefore, more than 90% of Hanhai's mobile phone chips are likely to be purchased from Apple's supply chain. One of Samsung and Qualcomm will definitely supply Hanhai.
The same is true for the communication baseband, which is part of the mobile phone chip and the most important part.
Cook judged that even if Changtian Technology acquired Nokia, Nokia would not be able to make its own communication baseband and would still have to rely on Samsung.
Not to mention the screen, the best mobile phone screens in the world come from Samsung and LG.
The touch screen of a smartphone is no better than the display screen of previous feature phones.
Therefore, Changtian Technology will definitely rely on Jobs’s previous relationships to find corresponding suppliers.
After figuring this out, Apple's high-level meeting immediately set a tone - to prevent Jobs from playing a role in Changtian Technology.
Cook immediately issued a statement on behalf of the company.
Apple solemnly declares:
“Our company’s former CEO, Mr. Steve Jobs, violated business principles and immediately worked for a competing company, Changtian Technology, after resigning from Apple.
Our company solemnly declares that it requires Mr. Jobs to prohibit providing any trade secrets about Apple to Changtian Technology, prohibiting Changtian Technology from using Apple's patents, and using Apple's resources for Changtian Technology through improper means...otherwise
Our company will reserve the right to pursue legal liability..."
This statement from Apple is nearly 1,000 words long.
There is a lot of content, but it actually has only one meaning.
Jobs is prohibited from using the resources and information he possesses to help Changtian Technology.
If any mobile phone developed by Hanhai Company, a subsidiary of Changtian Technology, is even remotely similar to that of Apple, then Steve Jobs and Changtian Technology are breaking the law.
The reason why Apple made such a statement is to tell the world: "If the mobile phone launched by Hanhai is accepted by the market and recognized by consumers, it will be Changtian Technology stealing Apple's technology."
Such a statement is actually quite disgusting.
After all, a mobile phone is just a rectangular "small box" equipped with some hardware and systems.
The arrival of smartphones is actually the same as the original feature phones.
Homogenization is becoming more and more serious, and differentiation is getting smaller and smaller.
It’s not certain who copied whom.
When Apple issued such a statement, it wanted to stand on the highest moral level so that it could launch attacks on Hanhai Technology at any time in the future.
After the media saw Apple’s statement.
I also feel that the original friendship between Changtian Technology and Apple has completely disappeared. Instead, there is fierce and cruel competition.
In addition to issuing this statement, Apple is also very anxious about the upcoming launch of a new mobile phone by Changtian Technology.
Based on everyone’s understanding of Changtian Technology in the past, as long as Changtian Technology enters an industry, other companies will basically have no way out and will die tragically.
For example, drugs used by Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer to treat severe pneumonia (non-cancer) are no longer sold, and current production is less than 10% of what was produced 10 years ago.
Another example is the once-powerful PC brands such as Lianxiang, Dell, and HP. However, the total sales volume of these companies is now less than that of Shenchuan.
As for semiconductor companies such as Kingston and Micron, the situation is even worse.
We are losing money every year, and we never know when we will go bankrupt.
They are now looking eagerly at the mobile phone industry, hoping to get orders from mobile phone communication terminals and turn around.
Therefore, in addition to issuing this statement, Apple also immediately sent people to Samsung, Qualcomm and other companies, hoping to persuade these companies not to supply Changtian Technology.
Because Qualcomm had no direct competition with Changtian Technology before, it was vague and unclear about Apple's rhetoric.
Samsung has had a fierce conflict with Changtian Technology in the hardware field, especially in the semiconductor field. It hates it so much that it wants to peel off Changtian Technology's skin and drink its blood.
Therefore, after Samsung received Apple's lobbyists, it immediately published a statement on its official website.
Samsung stated: "As a responsible semiconductor company in the world, Samsung urges all companies to strictly abide by industry rules and relevant business laws. Samsung will actively supply its partners in accordance with relevant laws and regulations and resolutely combat the theft of business secrets."
.”
Samsung has indeed developed the character of Bangguo's idiot, who is very arrogant and single-minded in thinking about problems.
After receiving Apple's lobbyists, they even believed with great expectations that Changtian Technology would definitely buy 4G chips from them, so they decisively issued this statement to support Apple, which was also a repayment of the original
One shot of revenge.
Apple and Samsung's statements were known to Jobs.
Jobs looked at these two statements, stood in front of the window and sighed, suddenly feeling very ridiculous.
The fundamental purpose of this statement is to imprison Jobs there and prevent Changtian Technology from using Jobs's personal connections and technical resources.
Jobs sneered and muttered to himself: "Have they ever known that the products developed by Changtian Technology three years ago have far exceeded the most advanced products of these two companies now."
Jobs believed that Apple’s announcement of this statement completely ended the possibility of cooperation with Changtian Technology. It was sad and regrettable!
