Chapter 332 The real face of the overseas market (replenishment?)
While walking on the campus of China Normal University holding a transparent umbrella, Wen Liang pulled down Li Rang, who was looking at the puddle with an eager expression on his face.
Of course... Xiao Li finally found the opportunity.
"Boom!" jumped into the puddle due to gravity.
Splashing water all over the sky~
Wen Liang wasn't angry either. He just said, "Go to the lounge in my office to take a shower and change clothes. You'll be sleeping there tonight."
Xiao Lirang sniffed and became honest immediately, whispering: "My shoes don't get wet~"
"Little girl, don't you want something clean?"
"want."
"That's right."
"Um."
As he spoke, Xiao Lirang shook the small schoolbag on his shoulder and looked at Wen Liang: "Are you going home tomorrow?"
"the day after tomorrow."
"Will sister-in-law come with you?"
"She won't come over until New Year's Day."
"oh."
"..."
Li Rang liked the light rain quite a bit, but Wen Liang didn't like it too much. He immediately pulled her into a nanny car after leaving the school gate.
Wang Wanyu bought the wronged Alpha at the beginning of the month.
We arrived at IFC in less than two minutes.
After stuffing Li Rang into the lounge, Wen Liang went to the collaborative office center.
Anyway, it's still very early before five o'clock.
Seeing Wen Liang, Li Ze gave up his position in an "obedient and sensible" manner, stood aside and reported honestly: "Everything is progressing in an orderly manner."
"The QQ International App has upgraded the original QQ Space and added the functional module of a public sharing space, making it closer to Facebook. The joint promotion is quite harmonious."
Having said this, Li Ze coughed slightly and whispered: "I heard over there that a lot of resources from the Baie Yangcheng R&D Center have been transferred to Pengcheng to support the improvement of the QQ International version. Baie has invested a lot of money, and the relationship between us
The work cooperation is also very harmonious.”
Wen Liang's eyelids twitched slightly when he heard it, but he didn't say a word.
Li Ze seemed to be just joking casually, and then talked about other important things: "The international version of Xiaocheng Book has the smoothest development, through benchmarking with Range, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter, especially with Range
The competition, as well as the attribute of spreading the Voice of the East, has gradually blossomed overseas, and the number of users has surged."
“Mr.
"At present, the total number of users of the international version of Xiaocheng Book has reached 32 million, and it is expected to start to advance in the period of 50 million scale."
"Weibo and QQ both have their own operating strategies. For the time being, they are far ahead in terms of the number of registered users, but their activity and diffusion are far behind."
"..."
Li Ze didn't mention range.
This name gradually lost its traces in Bolang headquarters, as if it had never existed.
However, due to the combined efforts of many resources invested by related parties, Range has a tendency to become the fourth largest social media platform in overseas markets, that is, alongside Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.
The number of users has exceeded 150 million, and it is heading towards 200 million.
This has a role in the offices set up by Xindai and Li Ze in various regions, as well as the investment of resources in North America by related parties. Of course, the more important thing is that the new form of range and the big data recommendation algorithm are powerful enough.
As overseas markets enter the 4G era on a large scale, and smartphones enter the market deepening stage, short video services like range can be said to be taking advantage of the trend.
The first step of Wen Liang's big social entertainment overseas plan is pretty solid.
Weibo, Xiaocheng Book, and QQ have no tendency to enter the American market head-on, and the integration of overseas networks has made their presence truly appear in the American network space, and the official website of America
There are no special measures taken. The major social platforms do have their own methods, but... Bolang is best at using small things to make big things happen.
The inner reason for surviving is actually very simple.
First, overseas bases are easy to establish, and there are always areas that have good relations with China.
One is a simple example. For example, domestic users cannot access external networks, but there are a large number of people in China who use Twitter and Facebook.
Even if it is officially banned like Asan, the result is that people will try their best to use it.
In short, promoting the overseas plan is an important part of the hunting plan, and the competition in overseas away games can only be done gradually.
As for the phase that is now gradually coming to an end, its end point is to get rid of the declining mobile phone business.
This is considered a wretched stage of development, and by the way, we are paving the way for mobile phones to go overseas.
In fact, Bolang Terminal and Weilui Mobile have already established each other's reputation.
By reaching a strategic cooperation with ZTE, Bolang Terminal made it clear that it would launch two thousand-yuan smartphones. It also mentioned their Honor series to Juchang, which has not yet become an independent brand, and also attacked the declining mobile phones from the perspective of public opinion. The goal is
We must encircle and suppress the fallen mobile phones.
Xinghai has not been idle either, constantly uniting all parties to put pressure, but unfortunately, these pressures have gradually disappeared on their own initiative due to the explosive sales after the launch of Xinghai 1.
The flagship product of Bolang Terminal is ZTE's two thousand-yuan phones that are about to be launched. The plans were only finalized at the beginning of the month. With ZTE's mature foundry system, it will take a month to launch them, which will be after New Year's Day.
The famous brand of Weilui Mobile is to give up the open market business and the operator's customized phone business, and this part is the core revenue source of Weilui Mobile.
As for Xinghai 1... In a word, people who will buy Xinghai 1 will not even look at Weibo mobile phones.
On the contrary, it has no harmful effect on the fallen mobile phone.
Now both sides are waiting for the opportunity and want to make a big move.

During dinner, Li Ze mentioned a guess: "This time is a little different. The resistance is very small and can't even be felt. It seems that Apple is showing weakness to the enemy, but my intuition may be to actively cooperate."
"What do you mean?" Wen Liang glanced at Li Ze and continued to eat.
Li Ze thought about it briefly and gave his own analysis: "Generally speaking, because of the intricate relationships in the East US capital market, platforms such as Twitter will actually intentionally lower the popularity of major events in the initial stage."
"This time is very unusual. When it was spread overseas through the international version of Weibo, there was no resistance from Twitter."
"Secondly, a rumor came back from Silicon Valley, saying that there are a lot of media preparing to go to Apple this time to block the door. The public relations team of a large company like Apple is very powerful, unless we intervene and deliberately mess with it like last time."
Wen Liang frowned. He couldn't understand the twists and turns here.
The analysis mentioned by Li Ze does have the flavor of Apple cooperating.
even……
Just as he was thinking about it, Wang Wanyu at the table next to him seemed to casually mention: "At midnight today, the short orders for Apple in the East US market surged, increasing by 60% from the previous day."
Wen Liang: "..."
He probably figured it out.
The capital market...is a bit fancy.
…
At around 7 p.m., 7 a.m. Eastern Time, and 4 a.m. Western Time, Tim was woken up by a phone call.
Tim didn't seem surprised by this. Listening to the hurried voice on the other end of the phone, his expression was very calm.
However, due arrangements were still made.
Then another call was made and another slightly different arrangement was made.
After finishing all this work, Tim, who was sitting by the bed, looked uncertain for a long time, and finally cursed secretly: "bullshit!"
"The vampires of Wall Street don't even spare the interests of their fingernails! fxxk!"
"if not……"
Tim felt very uncomfortable. He knew that he had no ability to resist, and he was even one of the vested interests.
If you want to describe his current mood, in unpleasant words, my dear, you, the CEO of Apple, are actually a living Bodhisattva?
Time passed very quickly to Tim.
Soon it was past five o'clock, and the US stock market was about to open for trading.
Tim made some calls again.
On a winter morning in the Western United States, Apple took the initiative to invite the media and would conduct a brief media release.
This proactive media release briefly explained several key topics hotly debated in cyberspace in a more official tone.
He took the initiative to disclose that the "refund brother" who was reported in mosaic reports was suspected to be a scalper, etc.
It said that the sales of iPhone 5 in the Chinese market were stable and there was no impact.
He even mentioned Xinghai 1 in a friendly way, indicating that this is a good mobile phone, but its pricing strategy is naturally not competing with Apple at the same level, and the user group is not relevant.
In short, Apple’s proactive media release has played a lot of roles.
Thanks to the efforts of all parties, Apple's stock price returned to US$500 a few days ago. It has fallen slightly in the past two days, fluctuating between US$485 and US$490.
At this moment, the opening actually performed a miracle of slight increase, and once stood at 500 US dollars.
However, Bolang did not put much effort into promoting public opinion.
Just watching so quietly.
Will things really develop so smoothly?
of course not!
10:35 ET.
A photo of Apple’s internal market report accidentally leaked into cyberspace and first appeared on the international version of Xiaocheng Book.
There are only two corners of the photo.
The information revealed is simple:
Only 235,000 iPhone 5 units were sold during the first day in the Chinese market, and some cooperative sales outlets complained to Apple China about the pressure to sell products.
Li Ze, who paid attention to the relevant information for the first time, looked at Wen Liang who was standing aside. Both of them had the same expression of "Sure enough".
How could such internal information be leaked?
It's just Apple's intention.
And by choosing the international edition of Xiaocheng Book, dirty water was poured directly on Bo Lang’s head, and one could say that it was a commercial espionage, that local companies oppressed foreign businessmen, and so on.
What a good hand to play.
Moreover, Bolang has no way to do anything. If Apple wants to break the news, it is impossible to prevent it. They can only wait for the incident to happen and then find ways to divert attention.
However, the focus at this moment is not to throw dirty water, but to influence the Eastern US market.
When the news came out that this internal report that circulated on the Internet overturned all of Apple's proactive media releases, Apple's stock price suddenly crashed, causing the stock price to plummet during the session.
480…460…440…433…424.44!
More than 70 billion U.S. dollars of market value evaporated in one breath.
Wang Wanyu, who was sitting on the sofa on the other side, said with emotion: "Just now, Apple's short orders were delivered in large quantities. What a capital feast."
Then he added: "The investment of the asset management company has also been completed."
"This time it was divided into two batches of short selling. The first batch was completed when Apple's stock price fell to about 20% in the first round, and the second batch was completed just now."
"As well as two batches of long positions, the first batch was completed at $500 before delivery, and the second batch was just bought."
"After deducting various expenses and the more than 100 million US dollars just bought Apple stock, the total received income is about 800 million US dollars, and every 5% income is exactly 250 million yuan."
That is: from the beginning of November to now, asset management companies have harvested a total of US$1 billion from the East US market relying on Apple stock.
The received income converted into RMB is 5.56 billion.
The income attributable to Wen Liang is 2.78 billion, and the income for each of Li Ze and others is 278 million.
The distribution of the asset management company is very fair. If you have money, everyone will earn it and share it equally.
It’s just that we haven’t collected 20 heads at this stage. Wen Liang holds the other 45% on behalf of him. At this stage, Wen Liang contributes the most money. He takes the lead in arranging the investment direction and related matters. He is responsible for large losses, so he gets half of the total. .
Because asset management companies are all employees of asset management companies who make sound investments and actually implement them, so Li Ze and others who participate in decision-making and implementation can only get another year-end red envelope for the sake of it.
Moreover, the original intention of the emergence of the asset management company was to solve the problem that Bolang currently invests too much and cannot pay too much dividends, and everyone has no money on hand.
We have long agreed on a distribution model that everyone agrees with. For almost half a year, the cash we have received is considerable enough, so we don’t have to be greedy.
The main reason is... With the current scale of Bolang Group, you won't think that the money will be enough unless your brain is soaked in urine.
Last time, everyone was very excited when the price was 28 million per person. Now it is 250 million per person, but Li Ze is not excited at all.
At this moment, Li Ze looked at the picture on the mobile TV in the office and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "The overseas market is so outrageous, people like Ta Ma really dare to sell even the rope that hangs their own heads as long as the profit is enough!"
This wave of stock price crashes wiped out more than 70 billion US dollars, and it is estimated that more than half of it went into the pockets of those giants.
As for the 'living Buddha' Apple CEO, he will definitely get a little bit, but he also has to step in to clean up all the mess.
