Chapter 385 Tengda wants to marry Moya? The ambitious three stars!
"What do you think of Tengda's recent situation?" Tang Yi asked casually.
"???"
Zhang Shuo raised his eyebrows slightly and immediately realized that this was the real purpose of his second uncle's conversation with him. He thought for a moment and said: "Tengda is facing today's predicament. The external triggers are just superficial. The key is that there is an internal problem."
This is the truth.
In the final analysis, the reason why Tengda of the original time and space was so successful was because it had not encountered any decent competitors and was a short man who chose the generals. When the character jump came out and fully imitated Tengda, wouldn't Tengda be helpless?
No company can always stand at the top. Qiandu can return to the ordinary. Why can't Tenda?!
all the same.
"Tengda does have Tenda's problems, but after all, it is a star company cultivated by Binhai City. Now it encounters difficulties, and if it can help, the official will still lend a hand."
The conversation between the two seemed completely wrong, but in fact they were testing each other.
This is why Zhang Shuo's status is now different from what it used to be.
Before switching to this position, Tang Yi basically said what he wanted to say.
Zhang Shuo actually prefers to be straightforward and said with a smile: "Second uncle, you won't say that you think that Tengda's predicament today was planned by Mei Ya alone? I don't have such ability."
"You boy!"
Seeing Zhang Shuo solve the riddle, Tang Yi's expression also relaxed, "Of course I don't think so, but I can't help someone thinking this way. But don't worry, the support and attitude towards Germination, whether it is Binhai City or Lingnan,
It's all the same as always and won't change. Don't think too much about it."
"I actually don't care."
Being impatient to deal with these relationships is impatient, but it doesn't mean that Zhang Shuo doesn't understand anything.
I guess no one would be stupid enough to say that they would offend Moya in order to support Tengda. The former is on the decline, but Moya is still on the upswing.
"Then I'll just tell you."
Seeing that Zhang Shuo was struggling, Tang Yi also had a headache. "Someone asked me to be a lobbyist. I would like to ask, is there any possibility of cooperation with Tenda?"
"Cooperate with Tenda?"
Zhang Shuo realized that Tengda's situation might be worse than outsiders imagined.
otherwise.
Even with the pride of the second master, it is impossible to reach this point.
But even so, Zhang Shuo could only answer truthfully without any personal feelings: "Tengda has everything, the sprouts have it, and they can do it better. There is really no need to cooperate."
"Tengda is more like a worthless existence to Bu Ya."
"so…"
Tang Yi understood clearly, "I respect your choice and will never interfere. The mission has been completed."
"Thank you, uncle!"
Zhang Shuo was a little touched. His second uncle's non-interference was actually a kind of support in disguise.
He can still distinguish between big and small kings.
………
What Zhang Shuo didn't expect was that the next day, he received an invitation for tea from the second master.
"Did you receive the news so soon?"
Zhang Shuo had a weird expression, but he still went to the appointment on time, and the location was also at a teahouse.
After exchanging greetings and seeing Zhang Shuo slipping up, the second master felt a little helpless. He stopped beating around the bush and said tentatively: "The cooperation between Moya and Tengda is actually a win-win situation."
"Oh, what kind of cooperation method?"
Zhang Shuo was very curious about where Tengda got his confidence.
"It's very simple. Merge Qingniao Interactive Entertainment, Qinghe Technology, and Qingcheng Group into Tenda in the form of cash equity. Not only can Sprout receive a large amount of funds to support the semiconductor business, but it can also take the opportunity to become Tenda's largest shareholder.
Shareholders, let Tenda run the budding Internet business on your behalf." The second master's eyes were bright.
"Good idea."
Zhang Shuo's eyes were strange.
If we really unite like this, Tengda can really make a great turnaround. Not only will it quickly get out of its current underestimation, but it will also create another Internet super giant.
It is even more exaggerated than the development of the original time and space.
Zhang Shuo wondered if the second master had already been coveting the budding Internet business.
But it definitely won't work.
"It's a pity that Tenda may not have the strength of these three companies. Believe it or not, within three years, the revenue of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment alone will catch up with the entire Tenda?"
In order to dispel the second master's thoughts, Zhang Shuo did not beat around the bush.
With the explosion of the smartphone market, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, which accounts for more than 60% of global mobile game revenue, can be said to have reaped all the dividends of the times.
It is no exaggeration to say that you can count money while lying down.
In addition, client games, stand-alone games, agency and other businesses have also achieved rapid growth. Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has set the ultimate profit goal for this year alone, which is to achieve a monthly profit of over 10 billion.
How can Tengda, which has been undervalued, acquire a company like Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment?
It’s just nonsense!
"Isn't this a bit much?"
The second master suppressed his displeasure and said slowly: "I admit that Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is still great now, but there is no guarantee that it will continue to produce hit products in the next three years, right?"
"I can guarantee that."
In fact, Zhang Shuo has already written almost all of his 14 years of mobile game planning.
"..."
The second master's eyelids moved. He didn't know where Zhang Shuo's confidence came from, but he couldn't refute it.
He's not here to quarrel either.
"So, the way out for Tengda is still overseas?" Erye asked tentatively.
This was the trick Zhang Shuo gave Tengda when they met at the award ceremony at the end of last year. At that time, the second master was very disapproving, but he did not expect that in less than half a year, Tengda would suffer setbacks one after another.
"There don't seem to be any good opportunities overseas."
Zhang Shuo's words were obviously not very pleasing, but he didn't want to change anything because of it.
Just say whatever comes to mind.
Although it has only been half a year, given Tengda's current situation, it may be difficult to achieve anything overseas.
It's too late!
"Is that so?" The second master clenched his fist and said in a deep voice, "So, Tengda really has no future?"
"You can't say that."
Seeing this, Zhang Shuo finally gave him his prescription.
"If Tenda wants to save itself, it can only cut off its money-burning businesses, then choose a certain cutting-edge technology research direction and increase investment in R&D. Maybe it can be reborn and break into a new world in the future."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Even Zhang Shuo cannot predict where the trend of the next era will be.
Tenda still has a chance.
"Is that so? Excuse me."
The second master's face twitched and he took the initiative to end this unpleasant conversation.
Zhang Shuo nodded silently.
………
After coming out of the teahouse, the second master immediately returned to Tengda Building.
Lu Jian and Renyu are waiting eagerly.
Seeing that the second master was in poor condition, Lu Jian asked cautiously: "Boss, how was the discussion with Zhang Shuo?"
"It didn't work out."
The second master shook his head and briefly recounted the conversation between him and Zhang Shuo.
"Zhang Shuo is too crazy, isn't he? With Jade Bird Entertainment alone, he can surpass Tengda within three years? It's simply a big joke." Rengyu was very unconvinced.
"People have arrogant capital."
The second master is the second master, and he can control his emotions well at all times.
And never be swayed by emotions.
"Boss, Zhang Shuo suggested that we cut off the money-burning business, which almost made Nomi Dianping famous. I'm afraid there are some evil intentions here. He wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of a competitor for Qingcheng Group." Lu Jian was also very happy.
accurate.
After all, Tengda is also a budding senior, and his qualifications are there.
How can you tolerate such teasing?!
"maybe."
Based on Er Ye's intuition, he didn't think Zhang Shuo's situation would be so small.
Suggestions given should be sincere.
Unfortunately, even if he had this intention, he could not convince the board of directors, let alone Tenda's management team, to do such a desperate thing.
This is also the crux of the problem for large companies. Once they become large, they are destined to be unable to turn around.
It is not based on the will of any one person.
"Since the way to unite with Sprout is not feasible, we can only adopt Plan B."
The second master finally made up his mind.
………
Monday, April 15th.
Over the past weekend, there were a lot of new things happening in the Internet industry.
The most eye-catching thing is that Cardinal teamed up with Coolpi to form Qikool, and announced that they would also make mobile phones, which was the beginning of a great involution and melee for domestic mobile phones.
In the past year or two, seeing how profitable the mobile phone industry has been, big names and capital from all parties have also appeared on the scene.
Didn’t even Tenda want to make a mobile phone before?
There is also a person who is known as the "industry dark light", who has made a high-profile attack.
This made Rebus and others feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Zhang Shuo didn't feel anything at all. Maili Phone was positioned in the high-end market. No matter how well Qiku did, it would not pose any real threat to Maili Phone.
What's more, the original space-time Qiku did not succeed.
As soon as the honeymoon period between Kupi and the leader ended, he hooked up with Sadness again and became a scumbag. The leader was so angry that he quit immediately and also announced that he had failed to make a mobile phone.
Speaking of which, the leader in the investment circle is also a "ruthless person" who never succeeds in anything he invests in.
He and Qiandu can be described as sleeping dragons and phoenixes.
It can even be said that, to a certain extent, the leader is more than a thousand degrees.
Ever since he became an angel investor in 2005, the leader has never looked back. His first investment was in a goat milk seller, but he was tricked by others.
In just over a month, the other party spent all the millions.
Not to mention goat milk, the leader didn't even see a single piece of wool. After conducting on-site investigation, he found that this so-called entrepreneur was just a goat milk dealer who specialized in collecting goat milk from others.
Then, under the guise of being an entrepreneur, he solicited relatives to defraud investors.
Then invest in slow broadcast.
In order to promote slow broadcasting, the leader put a lot of effort into it. Not only did he bundle slow broadcasting into the 360 gift package, he also proposed "free use", which caused the number of users to skyrocket.
In 2012, the number of installed slow broadcast machines exceeded 300 million.
You know, the total number of Internet users in China last year was only about 600 million, which can be said to be quite successful.
As for the story behind the slow broadcast, everyone knows it.
After that, the leader invested in Chili Pepper Live Broadcast and Kuai Video. Without exception, they all ended in failure.
Not to mention the sad thing that when the leader participated in the Shanghai University Student Entrepreneurship Competition, as one of the most important judges present, he missed out on Mihayou, one of the top three.
Of course, Mi Hayou himself is not a little expert in investing, and buying a financial product can make a fortune.
The most annoying thing is.
The leader had clearly bet on character jumping, but he withdrew from character jumping in 2016.
quit....
Character Jump began to rise rapidly in 2017, and eventually became a super giant comparable to Tengda.
“I feel like I missed out on a hundred billion!”
After missing the character jump, the restless leader invested in Nezha, a new energy vehicle company. In the end, it was unpleasant, and he quit Nezha completely without making a single profit.
Looking at the trends that the leader has pursued in recent years, it makes people want to say something -
"Leader, don't vote anymore, stop it."
Investment is really a very metaphysical business that requires both professional knowledge and luck.
Not everyone can play it.
………
In addition to the news about the leader, Jumei Youpin announced that it plans to go public in Hong Kong within this year.
no doubt.
This is also a move for Tengda to save itself.
Tenda has been having a bad year recently. After its stock price plummeted last week, news of a large number of key employees resigning came out over the weekend.
It can be said to be adding insult to injury.
But it's because Tenda has been eliminating non-core departments recently, and previously cut off its mapping, search, e-commerce and other businesses, which has caused panic internally.
Coupled with the negative news about the stock market shock, it is natural that the tree will fall and the monkey will scatter.
The Interactive Entertainment Business Group, Social Network Business Group, and Technology Engineering Business Group have all received a large number of resignation applications for key positions in technology, R&D, operations, etc.
This was obviously beyond Tengda's expectation and went against the original intention.
But we can only watch these outstanding talents fall into the arms of competitors. Among them, Moya, as Tengda's biggest competitor, has also become the biggest winner.
Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, Qinghe Technology and the Group Technology Center have all recruited many outstanding talents.
It's an unexpected surprise.
But it also made Tengda so angry that he almost vomited blood.
In this situation of internal and external troubles, the Tengda management team headed by Er Ye also spent their efforts and made every effort to release as many positive signals to the outside world as possible.
The launch of Jumei Premium is one of them.
If not, according to this trend, Tenda's market value will fall below the 400 billion mark.
It’s really sad!
………
The biggest and most breaking news of the weekend is also related to mobile phones.
Just yesterday, the three-star starting price was officially launched in China. Under the overwhelming advertising, it attracted a wave of public attention.
It even became the hot news of the day.
There are also a large number of professional trolls on the Internet who play various roles such as self-media, digital experts, enthusiastic netizens, etc., either directly or indirectly promoting Samsung S4.
Samsung's offline physical stores also unexpectedly welcomed a wave of queues.
It can be said to be well-intentioned.
Objectively speaking, the original time and space, Samsung S4 has an ultra-clear large screen as its core selling point, and it has indeed gained many fans. The global sales volume reached 80 million units, once surpassing Pingguo.
Ranked third in the history of mobile phone sales.
After the Samsung S4, the sales of the S series have been declining, and they have never been able to surpass the brilliant record created by the S4.
The Samsung S5, which followed closely behind, was hailed as the "diving champion" due to its lack of innovation. Not long after the new phone was released, the price continued to fall.
After the first anniversary of its release, the price has been cut by more than half.
Of course, this is also related to Samsung's sales strategy. Just like this time, the price of Samsung S3 has just been released, and the price of Samsung S3 has dropped all the way to around 2,500.
It has put huge pressure on domestic mobile phones such as Xiaomi, OV, and Meiyuan.
The intentions are not sinister.
It is a pity that in this life, the emergence of Maili X1 is doomed for Samsung to encounter Waterloo in the Chinese market in advance. The sales of Samsung S4 will inevitably be unable to replicate the glory of the original time and space.
Even if the trolls boast about it, consumers still vote with their feet.
The original space-time three stars can pose a threat to Pingguo, or even surpass Pingguo. One of the important reasons is that it focuses on ultra-clear large screens.
The target is Pingguo 4S, Pingguo 5 suffers from the small screen size.
The problem is that Maili X1 also has a large ultra-clear screen, which is not inferior to Samsung S4 in terms of screen size. With its stunning appearance design, full metal casing, fingerprint unlocking and other advantages, its overall performance is even better than Samsung S4.
In addition, they both belong to the Android camp.
The newly launched Samsung S4 is really hard to challenge the position of the Android smartphone king of Maili X1.
Especially in the Chinese market.
Although Zhang Shuo doesn't like this so-called "Android King" title very much.
Just when Samsung S4 was released in China, Maili X1 also started testing the waters in European and American markets, including Tianzhu and other markets, and officially launched a global sales model.
This makes Pingguo and Sanxing feel like they are facing a formidable enemy.
You know, in the original time and space, after Sanxing was gradually launched into the Chinese market due to the explosion gate, although it was in a downturn for a period of time, it still won the global sales championship in 2021.
One of the very important reasons is that the global market other than China is large enough.
Although China is the world's largest single market, mobile phone sales accounted for about 30% of the world's total sales at its peak, and the remaining 70% still relied on global consumers.
Europe, America, Tianzhu, and Southeast Asia are the world's major markets.
At present, Maili mobile phones have basically established a firm foothold in Southeast Asia. If it can open up the situation in the European and American markets, it will truly have a tie-up and Samsung's positive strength.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to win this battle with the Chinese market alone.
But it's not simple.
Regardless of the fact that overseas brands such as Pingguo and Samsung are enjoying unimpeded access to the Chinese market, if, on the other hand, domestic mobile phones want to enter the European market, or even the beautiful country, the difficulty will increase in vain.
First, in beautiful countries, mobile phones are usually sold in bundles with operators.
If overseas brands want to enter the beautiful country, they must first secure the operator. In this area, both H Factory and Warwick have failed.
Second, patent disputes.
Pingguo regards the beautiful country as its base. Once overseas brands enter and threaten Pingguo's sales, they will immediately resort to law and initiate a patent litigation war.
Because it is a local operation, it has been tried and tested repeatedly.
Even Sanxing has been involved in patent lawsuits with Pingguo.
Third, security and privacy.
The European and American markets also have different definitions of security, and some aspects are more stringent, especially when it comes to privacy. Domestic brands must pay special attention to this.
Fourth, there is the issue of selling price.
Although Pingguo is very expensive in China, workers need to spend one or two months' wages to buy one. But in the beautiful country, based on their income level, it is actually not expensive.
Especially after bundling with operators.
Therefore, even if many domestic brands successfully enter beautiful countries, they are not competitive in terms of price.
All these factors determine that Maili Mobile Phone will need to make more efforts than it does in China or even in Southeast Asia if it wants to enter the European and American markets.
In contrast, Sanxing enjoyed almost the same treatment as Pingguo when it expanded into the European and American markets because the father of the funder behind it was from Wolf Street Capital.
Then rely on the tactics of machine sea to capture the mid-to-low-end market that Pingguo disdains, thereby achieving the global summit.
In terms of pure profit, it cannot compete with Pingguo.
But the positioning of Maili mobile phones is almost naturally in conflict with Pingguo. It is almost impossible to win the European and American markets, especially the beautiful Chinese market.
Zhang Shuo could imagine that in order to snipe Mai Li's mobile phone, Ping Guo would do anything.
As a mobile phone manufacturer established less than two years ago, the patent pool itself is one of the biggest shortcomings of Maili Group. It is easy for Pingguo to take advantage of it and take it to court.
Therefore, Zhang Shuo did not have high expectations for the beautiful Chinese market.
The focus is still on the Europa market.
This is also the experience and lesson learned from Warwick. Compared with the domestic market, Europa is relatively more friendly to outsiders because there are no local mobile phone brands.
As long as localization is done well, it will be relatively easier to win.
The Warwick of the original time and space was already on par with the Three Stars in the Europa market. If not for something later, Warwick would have surpassed the Three Stars in sales in just one or two years.
Sanxing got a big bargain for nothing.
………
After watching the news, Dai Yutong knocked on the door and came in, "Chairman, it's time!"
"Okay, let's go!"
Zhang Shuo stood up with a smile and left the office.
