In the current situation, many people have seen that the entanglement between Bolang and Weiluo, and between Bolang and Apple, will never end easily.
It must be protracted.
The few mobile phone manufacturers that stood aside and watched gradually got a taste of this process of decline and being suppressed.
Bolang will not stay away forever, but the time is not ripe at this stage.
And Weiluo will definitely not sit still and wait for death, but will definitely mobilize more resources to 'encircle and suppress' and 'target' Bolang Terminal!
This is also true.
Forty-five minutes before five o'clock, classmate Wen Liang was packing up and about to get off work when he saw Chen Jiaxin walking over.
"Some pressure is coming."
"oh?"
"In the past hour or so, several people have sent me messages in succession, hoping that we will pay attention to unity."
"Oh, this kind of words can be spread, and the person who helps spread the word is also a bad pen."
"Indeed, the impact is not big. They are all insignificant people. I am informing you of the news."
"Well, you can take care of whoever comes to you."
As he was talking, Wen Liang's cell phone rang in his pocket. After looking at the number, he turned back to the office and answered: "Mr. Miao."
The old man's smiling voice came from the phone: "Are you feeling the pressure?"
Wen Liang laughed: "Yes, I trembled all over when I received your call."
When the old man heard this, he understood immediately and said dissatisfied: "How come you are so suspicious at such a young age?"
"I have to be responsible for tens of thousands of people in Bolang." Wen Liang deliberately found a high-sounding excuse.
The old man said helplessly: "You, you, if it is as you think, do you think this phone call could have happened? Things seem complicated, but they are not that complicated."
"What I can say is that the plan is good, and the execution must be slow and decisive. There are no taboos in overseas markets. You have done a good job in this regard."
Wen Liang didn't say anything in a hurry.
Bolang has made a lot of noise in its overseas business recently.
The biggest feature of overseas markets is that they are connected together. You only need to choose a region without messy jurisdiction to spread information. As for America and other regions, the business officially going overseas under the name of Bolang was not intended to be directly launched. Now it is
People in America take the initiative to go to Bolang-related platforms to obtain information.
In view of this, Bolang has no scruples in all its actions in overseas markets.
Apple is in dire straits, and officials want to put pressure on it, but there is no direct way out.
Lao Miaotou didn't waste any more nonsense and simply said: "Unity is still more important, and the actual impact of some things must be considered."
Wen Liang responded: "I understand, Mr. Miao, you are busy."
Lao Miaotou: "..."
This thing is really not a thing. If you need it, call Grandpa Miao. If you don’t need it, just call Grandpa Miao right away, right?
When hanging up the phone, Lao Miaotou wondered whether Wen Liang and Lao Li were like this.
When the call ended here, Wen Liang pondered a little.
Lao Miaotou's meaning is actually very simple. The meeting on the issue of network access permission for iPhone 5 was put on hold on Monday. This is out of the desire for common ground while reserving differences and solidarity.
Next, the network access permission for iPhone 5 should still follow the normal process.
The actual impact must be considered.
At least it cannot give overseas networks a chance to demonize. Of course, under the influence of Bolang's promotion of the international version of Weibo and the international version of Xiaocheng Book to convey information, foreign media have no intention to pay attention to this aspect for the time being. After all, Apple is in the first place.
In short, iPhone5 related topics will not appear again at next week’s regular meeting.
As for when the network access permit will be approved, it depends on the process requirements.
But this doesn't matter to Bolang.
Wen Liang's starting point was just to use this excuse to put aside the discussion to launch a series of affairs. The core goal was to uncover opponents who were hostile to the development of Bolang Terminal.
By the way, we can use this opportunity to initially promote our social business overseas.
As for the operations on the US East stock market, it is just a matter of doing it casually and making money. It is not shabby.
At first, Wen Liang only suspected that Wei Luo was behind it, but he didn't expect that Wei Luo didn't hide it at all and came forward very directly to show his hostile identity.
As for people who have taken the lead in other aspects, they are not within the scope of Wen Liang's concern.
For example, Wen Liang doesn't care about the miscellaneous characters who greet Chen Jiaxin at all. He has the ability to engage in gambling head-on and see who can compete with others.
After finishing the phone call of just a few minutes, Wen Liang looked at Chen Jiaxin who was waiting: "There is still a way to deal with the decline. Public opinion is slowly dragging on. It's time for us to do something substantial."
Chen Jiaxin just smiled and said nothing more.
…………
December 3rd, Monday.
Lixia organized and launched a small-scale regular meeting. The main participants were the vice president, group first-level department managers, and CEOs/acting CEOs of all subsidiaries.
People who are not in the headquarters join the meeting through the multimedia terminal, and Wen Liang presides over it.
"In the past November, the group has experienced major adjustments and changes, covering a wide range. Some personnel in the business modules are still adjusting, and the efficiency is not ideal."
After a brief mention, Wen Liang changed the topic: "I have decided to make a major personnel adjustment in the group on the morning of December 28. Administrative management personnel have always been promoted by those who are capable and those who cannot be demoted. I hope everyone can show their skills."
Then Wen Liang left time to talk to everyone in the congregation.
Everyone briefly reported on recent important events. The key words for the application of Internet ecology are adjustment and integration.
All plans to go overseas were put aside.
The smoothest progress at present is the merger of the original PPS Video into Orange Video, which has been completed and will be unified and operated under the name of Orange Video.
Progress in other aspects is acceptable.
The one with the slowest progress is Chengzi Literature. The original Shanda Literature had many sub-brands, the original management team was not retained, and it had to implement the Bolang style, which may be a little acclimated.
But it is also done in an orderly manner.
The current acting editor-in-chief of Chengzi Literature is Liu Nian, also known as Powan. He is considered a direct descendant of Li Ze. He followed Li Ze since he first joined Bolang and was promoted one after another.
Because he had the right affairs and caught up with the good times, he became one of the more important managers of Orange Literature.
Of course, he is just a manager on the literary business system.
It is still far from the overall affairs management of Orange Literature.
As for Duan Yi, who also joined the company very early, because of his poor foundation and a lot to learn at work, he is still only a team leader.
After all, he is one of the earliest veterans, and Duan Yi is still very motivated.
The brief report is limited to thirty minutes.
Wen Liang ended the meeting without saying anything more.
…………
Later, Lixia reported to Wen Liang the progress of preparations for a series of affairs.
Mainly about contacting several well-known mobile phone manufacturers in Guangdong.
Including OV two, ZTE, Meizu, and Juchang.
Wen Liang doesn’t think that the mobile phone industry will be a monolithic decline.
Colleagues come from enemies.
Wen Liang wants to unite with one or more of these enemies and force Wei Luo to pool resources in the mobile phone business.
"Initially, I followed your wishes and proposed joint consultations to several companies, and intentionally mentioned the idea of a provincial alliance. Juchang declined at first, and O and V didn't have much interest in it either."
"After repeated communication and exchanges, several companies still don't have much intention."
"So far, I have communicated with several companies to discuss the possibility of cooperation, and I have all received affirmative answers."
Li Xia briefly reported the process and results, and then mentioned more precise details: "According to the attitudes of all parties, we first finalized the time for discussing cooperation with ZTE, and it was set for the morning of the day after tomorrow."
Wen Liang asked: "Where is the location?"
Li Xia lowered his head: "It can be arranged in our company, but it is difficult to coordinate with Director Hou to come over."
This can be considered a dereliction of duty on her part.
After all, there is no coordination.
Wen Liang didn't care, and said casually: "Since it is a cooperation that we want to discuss on our own initiative, how can we get people to come to the door? I will go to Pengcheng the day after tomorrow."
"Understood." Lixia agreed quickly.
…………

Number 5.
Wednesday.
Wen Liang drove Jian Cong to Pengcheng, and then walked into Zhongxing.
Although ZTE is larger than Bolang, and even though Bolang only wants to discuss the mobile phone business, ZTE's Chairman Hou still personally received Wen Liang and his party.
After the inevitable greetings, Wen Liang walked into a conference room under the guidance of Hou Dong.
In addition to Wen Liang, there are also Li Ze, Li Xia and Zhong Zhengye on Bolang's side. There are not many people, but the portion is still very good.
ZTE also showed due respect. Director Hou led the team and was accompanied by several vice directors and business leaders.
The two parties sat down separately and once again started friendly and harmonious greetings.
After that, Li Zexian proposed a cooperation: "A few months ago, your company officially launched the global payment single-chip 4G LTE smartphone together with Mobile Hong Kong. It is also the first domestic manufacturer to officially launch a 4G smartphone;
Your company’s exploration and accumulation in 4G is very profound, and I don’t know if we can cooperate with other countries in this area.”
ZTE is essentially a communications manufacturer. It is normal for it to have accumulated experience in 4G. Of course, it also has external cooperation.
ZTE responded directly in the affirmative, and the two sides started friendly consultations on relevant cooperation issues.
However, both parties knew that Bolang was just throwing stones to ask for directions.
Therefore, Director Hou did not hesitate and directly and enthusiastically invited Wen Liang to sit in his office for a while.
Wen Liang looked like he was doing good things.
After the two of them walked into the chairman's office alone, Director Hou said bluntly: "Mr. Wen, if you have something to say, you can come to Pengcheng. I don't think it's because of a small matter like 4G, nor for this reason."
Prepare in advance."
"I think the matter of the provincial alliance is just an excuse."
Hou Dong is already 71 this year. He has experienced too many ups and downs in his life, and he sees some things relatively clearly.
The so-called provincial mobile phone alliance is indeed just an excuse, a practical application of Brother Xun's window opening theory.
Finally, Director Hou added: "Mr. Wen can rest assured that the leaders of the superior units mentioned Mr. Wen and your company by the way two days ago."
These words made Wen Liang slightly stunned.
ZTE is a unique enterprise. Before 2017, it was a state-controlled and authorized private enterprise. It is the first example of this type. However, the holding company Aerospace Science and Industry and Bolang cannot compete with each other.
As his thoughts turned around, Wen Liang was not surprised. The director of state-owned assets in front of him was Mr. Wang, an old friend. This was a good relationship.
Since there is such a harmonious foundation, Wen Liang is very straightforward and goes straight to the point: "We hope to achieve in-depth strategic cooperation with your company, including but not limited to mobile phone business, design and development of high-end universal mobile chips, core software and other aspects of resource sharing and cooperation.
Collaborative development.”
"Specifically in the mobile phone business, we hope to reach a relatively special paid cooperation, mainly to release one or two styles of cooperative mobile phones based on your company's brand and channels, which is a kind of alternative customization."
Director Hou was not surprised by the cooperation projects proposed by Wen Liang, including this strange mobile phone cooperation project. He smiled and said: "The mobile phone cooperation is to deal with the declining mobile phone business."
Wen Liang nodded calmly.
The conflict between Bolang terminal and Weibo mobile phone is already well known to everyone.
"No problem, I will arrange for the relevant person in charge to contact you for specific matters." Director Hou agreed happily, "There is not much problem about cooperation in various R&D projects. I have heard a little bit about your R&D strength. It is said that Industry and Information Technology is pressuring you.
Many research and development projects have been carried out.”
Wen Liang nodded again and told the truth frankly: "Our research project on 03, a new generation broadband wireless mobile communication network, has a weak foundation, and all parties have deep patent barriers and have invested in advance. We need cooperation to get started."
Hou Dong nodded clearly.
Seeing Wen Liang, who was slightly younger than his grandson, Hou Dong deeply realized that a new generation had replaced the old.
The fact that Hou Dong is so happy does not mean that he really knows Bolang very well, nor does he have a premonition of the serious difficulties that ZTE will face in the future.
Although he suffered suppression in October this year and was blocked from the America market, and even though he decided to cut executive salaries due to unsatisfactory operations in the first three quarters of this year, he was not deeply aware of America's outright hooliganism.
Mainly due to the requirements of all parties and the fact that Bolang's Star System has indeed gained prestige in overseas markets, there is nothing wrong with establishing necessary strategic cooperation -
