This time Wang Xiang and Simpson visited the Nokia Factory in Bochum, the largest Nokia factory in Germany, which also attracted a lot of attention from European media.
Although the European media has always been wary of Changtian Technology, when they heard that Nokia's factories would not lay off employees and would raise wages, everyone was still happy for the workers in the factories.
The reporters used their cameras to record this moment at the scene.
They even thought of the title of this news - "New Nokia, parent company Changtian Technology promises no layoffs at the Bochum factory."
The cheers of the Nokia workers lasted for five or six minutes. After several interferences from the host, everyone calmed down.
Wang Xiang continued: "Changtian Technology is also preparing to invest in the construction of lithium battery factories and chip packaging factories in Europe, which is expected to create tens of thousands of jobs."
Wang Xiang then drew another big cake for Europe.
There are many links in chip production.
The most critical technologies for chips are chip design and photolithography, etching, packaging, etc.
Chip packaging is the last step of the chip.
The reason why Chen Xiao plans to put the chip packaging factory in Europe.
It is because Europe does not have any industrial chain in terms of chip packaging technology. If the packaging factories are located in Europe, there will be no worries about any technology leakage of the chip.
In addition, the chip packaging industry is an intensive processing industry that requires a large number of workers and can only help some European countries solve employment problems.
Europe's economic development has been very poor in the past few years, especially since it has not caught up with the express train of the international mobile Internet era. European developed countries have been resting on their laurels.
Of course, Chen Xiao would not place these labor-intensive industries in highly developed countries such as France, Germany or Holland, but in Central and Eastern European countries with relatively underdeveloped economies such as Hungary and Serbia.
The purpose of this is of course to save costs. After all, Changtian Technology is not Kaizi.
The purpose of Changtian Technology's investment in Europe is to gain a larger market for Hanhai mobile phones and other products in the future, not to contribute to the development of European capitalist society.
The per capita salary in Hungary is around 1,000 to 1,000 U.S. dollars, that is, 6,000 to 7,000 RMB. Such wages are only a little higher than those in the coastal areas of Xia, and are within the acceptable range of Changtian Technology.
The per capita salary in Serbia is even lower. After one month, the RMB may only be three to four thousand yuan. Such salary income is similar to that in inland areas of the mainland.
Changtian Technology has built some factories here, and the labor costs are similar to those in China. Even if the local workers are not as hardworking as the Xia people, the production cost of the hardware will not increase much.
What's more, Europe is pursuing the EU integration process.
Hungary joined the EU in 2004, and Serbia became a candidate member of the EU last year.
Establishing good relations with these countries will help them speak for Changtian Technology when necessary.
A large number of Xia companies, including Changtian Technology, are willing to do business with Europe.
Similarly, some companies in mainland Europe, such as Volkswagen, Peugeot, etc., are also willing to do business with Xia Guo.
But there is a troublemaker in Europe who particularly likes to play the offshore balancing game - the United Kingdom.
This is something Changtian Technology must beware of.
After Wang Xiang’s visit to Bochum.
All major media are reporting on Changtian Technology’s investment in Europe.
Germany's Handelsblatt commented: "Changtian Technology has invested a large amount of money in Europe, and tens of thousands of Nokia employees have been brought back to life. The CEO of Changtian Technology has promised to build lithium battery and chip packaging factories in Europe, which is expected to create tens of thousands of jobs.
post."
Agence France-Presse is indeed a well-known media in the world, and their commentators also pointed out some of Changtian Technology's intentions: Changtian Technology invests in Europe to protect the sales of Hanhai mobile phones.
But the evaluation of the British "Times" is indeed different.
"The Times": Changtian Technology has taken a fancy to cheap land in Europe and will relocate seriously polluting industries to Europe. We should be more vigilant to prevent being eroded by Changtian Technology."
Many media outlets in continental Europe still welcome Changtian Technology’s willingness to invest in continental Europe.
After all, for many countries and cities, anything that can boost the economy and solve people's employment problems is more practical than all kinds of rhetoric.
For mayors or councilors in many cities, if you can help citizens solve employment problems and stimulate local economic development, then you will have the opportunity to continue to stay in this position.
Wang Xiang will continue to stay in Europe and visit many countries to experience the local cultural atmosphere in different cities and examine whether they are suitable for investment.
But after Wang Xiang announced a series of investment intentions in Europe, he has received invitations from multiple cities.
During the period when he returned to Finland from Germany, Wang Xiang also met with more than ten representatives one after another.
This feeling made the accompanying Changtian Technology staff feel a little strange.
Most of Wang Xiang's staff members only joined Changtian Technology in the past two years.
But during their long academic career, they have been instilled with a certain concept.
That is, Xia Guo is particularly eager for capital from Europe or the United States, and for companies or bosses from these two regions to invest.
At that time, let alone European or American companies, even if a garbage company from the Wanwan area of Xia State wanted to invest in the inland areas of Xia State, the local people would treat this company as a guest of honor and provide them with all kinds of delicious food.
In terms of hospitality, we also provide extremely favorable conditions.
It is precisely for this reason that around 2000, many bosses from Wanwan and Xiangjiang City made a lot of money with nothing in the inland cities of Xia Kingdom.
Times now seem to be the other way around.
There are many countries and regions in Europe that hope to cooperate with Changtian Technology and hope that Changtian Technology can bring investment and employment.
After almost half a month of detailed talks and research.
Changtian Technology decided to open Liangchu Semiconductor Factory in Germany and Finland, which is a semiconductor factory affiliated to Pascal Company, specializing in the production of carbon crystal memory and carbon crystal storage.
It was decided to open a lithium battery production factory, a mobile phone casing and motherboard production factory, and a chip packaging factory in Hungary and Serbia respectively.
Changtian Technology's decision is expected to increase Hungary's GDP by 0.2% and Serbia's GDP by about 1%, and provide a total of nearly 10,000 jobs for the two countries.
Changtian Technology has indeed made many European countries envious after announcing major investments one after another.
In the past, as long as the media went to Europe, the most intuitive experience was from the developed countries of Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, and France.
However, in Central and Eastern Europe, especially the Balkans and the former Soviet Union countries, the economic level is not as strong as everyone thinks.
The local government still needs to invest to stimulate the economy, and the local people also need jobs and employment.
After the completion of this series of supporting measures by Changtian Technology, it is expected that Hanhai mobile phones will be able to achieve mass production in Europe in three months to half a year.
Although the mobile phones produced may still not be able to meet the needs of European consumers, it can also greatly alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand.
Nokia experience stores and telecom dealers in Europe have learned from the official channels of Hanhai Technology that Kankan mobile phones will be available in large quantities in the European market.
It has also opened up European consumers to make reservations for Hanhai mobile phones, and some dealers have even charged consumers the reservation amount in advance.
According to data from the backend of Hanhai Technology, the number of reservations in Europe today has exceeded 1 million units, and this number is still increasing rapidly.
Samsung headquarters in South Korea.
Lee Jae-ki, President and CEO of Samsung’s Consumer Electronics Division, looked at last month’s sales data in Europe and looked very unhappy.
Smartphones are definitely the biggest trend in the past 10 years.
After Samsung cooperated with Google, it did catch up with this trend.
Gasgoo has launched several generations of mobile phones in succession, and the sales volume of each generation has been very impressive. This has also allowed Samsung mobile phones to successfully become the world's No. 1 mobile phone brand in sales, and it also has the capital to compete with Apple in the high-end field.
But just last month, in the mid- to low-end segment, Samsung was still the market leader, but in the high-end segment, the total sales of the latest Galaxy mobile phones actually fell by more than 30% compared to the same period last year.
But at the same time, as a competitor, Apple's sales have not increased at all, but have continued to decline like Samsung's Galaxy mobile phones.
This shows that it is not Apple’s mobile phone that is seizing Samsung’s high-end market, but someone else.
Obviously, it is Hanhai Technology that seizes the market.
After Samsung Group's semiconductor business was blocked by Changtian Technology, its biggest growth point has shifted to electronic consumption, that is, mobile phones.
If the mobile phone field is once again blocked by Changtian Technology, Samsung's growth will be bottlenecked.
Therefore, the war with Changtian Technology in the consumer electronics business must be won.
Lee Jae-ki told the executives who were silent in the conference room: "Judging from the performance of the European market, our announcements and statements in multiple European media have not had any substantial impact on consumers' choices, and have not even had any impact on telecommunications.
The company has no impact whatsoever."
"According to the news I just received, our largest partner Vodafone Telecom is also trying to negotiate with Hanhai Technology recently, hoping to obtain the right to sell Hanhai mobile phones."
After Li Zaiji said this, he looked at many senior executives with cold eyes.
Although he didn't speak anymore, the look in his eyes had already warned the senior executives of consumer electronics.
Jin Dayong, who is in charge of European affairs, said: "It is very difficult for us to defeat Changtian Technology at the level of public opinion, and we must take some substantive measures."
Jin Dayong said: "My suggestion is to ask the European legal department to immediately file a lawsuit against Changtian Technology for infringement of my intellectual property rights in multiple European countries and the EU system."
Jin Dayong immediately distributed the information on the table to everyone in the conference room.
"A detailed plan has been drawn up and we are preparing to file lawsuits against Changtian Technology and Hanhai Technology from three major aspects and six minor aspects."
Jin Dayong has been preparing for today's meeting for a long time, and the plan he gave is also quite detailed.
"Although the size of Changtian Technology has grown exponentially in recent years, it still lacks experience in dealing with European countries and has a blank in legal knowledge."
"We have the best team of lawyers in Europe and several law firms in Europe, and we also have good cooperative relationships..."
After Jin Dayong said all this, he looked at Li Zaiji and other senior executives in the conference room with some expectation.
He hopes that his plan will be recognized by the president and recognized by his colleagues.
Some of the top executives who only knew the ins and outs of Gasgoo remained silent.
Because they know very well in their hearts that these so-called public opinion wars by Samsung in Europe are actually just public opinion wars.
If we really go to court and ask Samsung to produce relevant evidence that Changtian Technology infringes Samsung's intellectual property rights, Samsung really won't be able to produce it.
Hanhai mobile phones are several generations ahead of Samsung in terms of appearance, weight and thickness, as well as the voice assistant Xiaoying.
There has always been only backward technology that copied advanced technology. How could advanced technology copy backward technology?
What's the point of a top student copying the homework of a low-student?
Seeing everyone fall into silence, Jin Dayou felt a little embarrassed.
At this moment, Li Zaiji's secretary walked in cautiously and whispered a few words into Li Zaiji's ear.
Li Zaiji immediately stood up and said to everyone in the conference room very apologetically: "Everyone discuss it first, I will go out for a while."
The assistant just came over and said it was a call from Apple CEO Cook.
Samsung and Apple are competing and cooperating with each other.
For example, the chips designed by Apple are optimized, designed and produced by Samsung.
Another example is that almost every generation of iPhone uses Samsung’s storage.
Therefore, the relationship between the two parties can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.
It is also such a relationship that the top management of both parties communicate almost exclusively at the technical and departmental levels.
This time Cook actually called in person, so there must be something to talk about.
It took Lee Jae-ki a total of 40 minutes to answer the phone.
Senior executives from Samsung Electronics' consumer business unit also waited in the conference room for a full 40 minutes.
Forty minutes later, Li Zaiji came to the conference room and immediately said to the senior management in the conference room: "Use Jin Dayong's method and immediately contact the legal team in Europe to file a lawsuit against Hanhai Technology. We will file it in different countries and the European Union at the same time.
Intellectual Property and Commercial Litigation.”
After Li Zaiji said this, the vice president next to him was a little surprised.
"But...but our chances of winning..."
The vice president wanted to say that the odds of winning were very low.
Li Zaiji nodded and said: "We all know what the final result will be, but we must do this, even if in the end we publicly apologize to Hanhai Technology or compensate for the losses."
"But this is one of the few opportunities we have to regain the global market."
"I just received a call from Apple CEO Mr. Cook. Apple is about to take a series of measures on Hanhai Mobile."
After Li Zaiji said this, everyone suddenly realized.
This means that Samsung and Apple have reached a cooperation agreement in private, temporarily giving up competition and jointly coping with the challenges posed by Hanhai Technology.
Samsung wants to file lawsuits against Changtian Technology and Hanhai Technology in the EU and many European countries. The purpose is not to win, but to use Europe's lengthy judicial process to cause trouble for Hanhai Technology and the sales of Hanhai mobile phones.
This will gain opportunities for the Apple-Samsung alliance.
At the same time, Samsung will also cooperate with Google to jointly suppress mobile phones.
Thanksgiving Eve 2013.
Google announced that its Gmail, weather forecast, Google Chrome, Google map, Google search and many other applications have opened authorized use mode.
