Chapter 669 Completely withdraw from the mobile phone market!
Zhang Hongbin talked with Gao Jin for a while and then left. Gao Jin sent Zhang Hongbin downstairs and watched Zhang Hongbin get in the car and leave.
He shook his head and smiled bitterly, understanding Zhang Hongbin's difficulties. However, this time he could not give in under any circumstances. He must weaken his competitors' strength from all aspects.
If you don't do this, you will face greater pressure in the future.
Zhang Hongbin returned to the compound and told his secretary, "I won't see anyone this morning" before entering the office. After saying that, he entered the office directly.
The secretary sat down at the office at the door, started to block the car, and started making phone calls to cancel Zhang Hongbin's remaining work arrangements for the morning.
After returning to his desk and sitting down, Zhang Hongbin took out the voice recorder from his body, operated it for a while, and then uploaded the chat content between himself and Gao Jin.
Then I still wrote the report, and I was busy until about 12 noon. I finally finished writing the report. I reviewed it several times and found no problems before uploading it to my superiors.
After finishing all this work, Zhang Hongbin began to make verbal reports on the phone. It was not until 1:30 in the afternoon that Zhang Hongbin left the office and went to the cafeteria to eat.
As time goes by, the stocks of many mobile phone manufacturers around the world continue to fall. Mobile phone companies have issued announcements one after another. They only say that the current drop in stock prices is not worthy of the company's true value, and there is no other information at all.
In China, the audio and report handed over by Zhang Hongbin caused quite a controversy among senior officials. Some people supported Gao Jin's views, while others opposed Gao Jin's approach and believed that stability should continue to be maintained at this stage.
It’s not time to let the Protoss Group compete.
As time went by, Gao Jin's opinions about other domestic mobile phone manufacturers spread, and many people in charge of mobile phone manufacturers took a deep breath.
Gao Jin's hand was so cruel, even more cruel than Android's.
Once the installation of Gao Jin is carried out, it will become a brand assembly factory. From now on, every move will be based on the face of Xingling Group, and it will completely lose its autonomy.
But if you don't agree to Gao Jin's conditions, you really don't have artificial intelligence technology. If you don't have artificial intelligence technology for mobile phones in the future, you really won't be able to sell them at a high price.
Someone thought of the owner of Android, Gu Ge.
After thinking for a while, he slowly shook his head. I am afraid that Guge will not be without any conditions. In recent years, Guge has also planned to allow all manufacturers using Android systems to participate in the Android software store.
It's just that the boycott was so strong that he didn't take any further action. If Gu Ge had put forward the same conditions at this moment.
Thinking of this, many bosses sit on the boss chairs in their offices, feeling weak and decadent.
technology!
It’s still technology!
When an enterprise develops to a certain level, it depends on technology for life and death!
Without your own technology, you are just a fish put on the chopping board by those companies with technological advantages to be slaughtered, with no power to resist.
High-tech companies rise very quickly, and similarly, once a technology more advanced than yours appears on the market, the time of death will come quickly.
In the United States, as the stock price of Guoguo Company has fallen in the past few days, Cook has been very busy.
I have met and communicated with many of the directors privately.
Howard was no exception, and secretly met with most of the directors to defuse Cook's offensive.
Three days passed slowly, and Guoguo Company issued an announcement that the company's CEO, Mr. Howard, resigned as CEO due to physical reasons.
In order to maintain the stable operation of the company, the board of directors will definitely appoint Mr. Cook as the CEO of Guoguo Company temporarily.
This news immediately caused a shock in the mobile phone industry. No one expected that Cook, who had stepped down as CEO for several years, would return to work.
And at this stage, does Guoguo’s board of directors believe that Cook can reverse the current predicament?
No one knows how many tactics Cook and Howard used to secretly fight this time, and how many big bosses were involved. Cook was able to win because Cook showed some of his trump cards.
In the afternoon, Guoguo Company held a press conference at its headquarters, and Cook appeared and delivered a speech.
The general idea is,
The current difficulties that Guoguo is encountering are related to its continued reduction in R&D expenses after stepping down as CEO. As the dominant player in the global mobile phone industry, Guoguo should launch a mobile phone with artificial intelligence technology earlier than Starlight Mobile.
Now that he is back in charge of Guoguo Company, the first step is to restore Guoguo Company's R&D funding from US$6 billion a year to US$8 billion a year this year.
Next year, Guoguo's R&D expenditure will not be less than US$10 billion.
Please wait and see, Guoguo will not fall behind and will bring real smartphones to consumers in the near future.
The technical foundation of Guoguo Company is not comparable to that of Starlight Mobile Company. The technology we have is not only artificial intelligence, but also more high-end technology.
After Cook finished speaking, he nodded and waved to the reporters with a smile on his face, and left gracefully.
Many people want to ask, what kind of technology is more advanced than artificial intelligence, and when will Guoguo Company launch it?
It's a pity that Cook doesn't give these people a chance.
Don't explain and let these people guess slowly. This is a common tactic used by CEOs and chairman of giant companies. In other words, many politicians also use this tactic.
Leave a topic that reminds reporters, and reporters will definitely launch imaginative reports. Everything is said by you, the media, not me.
Finally, when a problem arises, all I need to do is explain it. Those inappropriate words were said by the media and have nothing to do with me.
That night, many media reported the incident on the front pages of their websites. Not many people saw it, so it didn't cause much shock.
The next day, the American media began to report on this incident overwhelmingly. Many people who didn't care about Guoguo Company knew that Cook had returned to power and became CEO.
Moreover, many people are very interested in the last sentence that Cook said, which is more advanced technology than artificial intelligence. What kind of technology is this?
Does Guoguo Company have this kind of technology?
In any case, the media reports stopped the downward trend of Guoguo's stock. Compared with other mobile phone companies, the decline rate was greatly reduced.
Cook did this not to stop the stock price from falling, but to show the securities regulatory authorities that we at Guoguo Company are working hard and trying to find ways to stop the stock price from falling.
To pave the way for a further decline in stock prices, and to prepare for company shareholders, CEOs, and companies to repurchase stocks after the stock price falls.
A listed company that does not cut its leeks is definitely not a good listed company.
Cook knows this very well.
Cutting leeks can make a lot of money for individuals, and it can also make up for the losses of enterprises, killing two birds with one stone.
Such a good thing, why not do it.
Cook's actions certainly don't stop there. After the press conference, Cook began to launch his own plan. The first step was to lay off employees in the United States.
Start laying off employees all over the world. Each country's branch has a quota. If you can't complete the task, your regional manager will get out.
Taking Tianchao Region as an example, Guoguo Company has more than 130 direct employees in Tianchao Region. The task of the regional manager is to reduce the number of employees to less than 100 people in a reasonable and legal manner.
If you can't finish it, your regional manager will take the quota.
Guoguo Company has branches in more than 100 countries around the world, some with many employees and some with few.
There are only thirty-seven people in the H branch. This time, nine people will be laid off in the H branch. All work must not be delayed and no excuses must be given.
If you fail to complete the task, your regional manager will fill in the vacancy.
The time is within one month, and the person in charge of each branch must complete this task.
Moreover, no document was issued for the layoffs this time. Everything was done by the branch managers themselves. Once the matter is reported by the media, they can perfectly shirk responsibility.
Cook played his game very well. The person talking to these people was not himself, but others, setting up an extra firebreak to make it easier to shirk responsibility.
All of a sudden, all the regional managers and regional managers who received the notice started to get busy. These people are all smart people and they know very well why the company does this.
It will be difficult to come up with a product that can compete with the third-generation Starlight mobile phone in a short period of time, and costs must be reduced.
The global media began to hype the news about Guoguo Company for a few days. Sanxing Company also issued a statement that Park Hongchuan, the former head of the mobile phone division, resigned.
Li Chaojun, deputy director of the mobile phone division, became the new head of the mobile phone division.
Li Chaojun stated that Shanxing Company will launch products equivalent to the third-generation Starlight mobile phone as soon as possible because Shanxing Company has an internal artificial intelligence project team.
What the third-generation Starlight mobile phone does is just extend the application of artificial intelligence to mobile phones, while Shanxing company wants to do more than just applications, but also have more functions.
Please wait and see.
After Li Chaojun made the announcement, he turned around and left. He did not say at all the exact time when the peer-to-peer mobile phone would be launched, nor did he say what additional functions it would have.
We will wait and see, one month will be a wait and see, and a year will be a wait and see.
Such ambiguous words were automatically ignored by the media. Unlike Guoguo Company, Shanxing Company came to attend Shanxing Company's press conference today, and the reporters present had something to gain.
As for how much you will gain, only you know. Everyone's gain is different. There are professional third-party companies to do this.
No matter what aspect of the investigation, this company has nothing to do with Mountain Star Company. Even if this behavior is exposed, it has nothing to do with Mountain Star Company.
It can be said that this is a trap set up by a competing company against Shanxing Company, and we are also victims.
Anyway, fake news is flying all over the sky now. Ordinary people will stop paying attention to this matter after paying attention for a few days. As far as Shanxing Company is concerned, it will be unscathed.
A few days later, LG also held a press conference, and this time it was heavyweight news.
LG announced that it will update the LG Wing system for the last time today, and will no longer provide system update services in the future, and will abolish the mobile phone division today.
