On the speeding high-speed train, Wen Liang looked at the number and called out after connecting: "Uncle."
Su Hean's voice came from the receiver: "Wen Liang."
Without much chatter, he mentioned the matter directly: "Your efficiency this time is very good. We talked about cooperation the day before yesterday and laid the foundation stone today. Although you may have planned it in advance, the timing is really a little too good..."
Su Hean then explained the reason: "Apple has been very vigorous in the past two days. They sent an Asia-Pacific person in charge from the headquarters to Yangcheng, and the negotiations were very intensive..."
After briefly recounting what had happened, Su Hean added: "What a coincidence, the 500,000 units of your Xinghai 1 newly launched this morning were inexplicably sold out for 55 minutes before they were out of stock..."
The story put on the bright side of the market is always simple.
Last weekend, Apple China conducted a detailed inspection of Yangcheng for the first time on the grounds of joint investment, and did not mention Bolang at all.
However, after the inspection, another interested person mentioned in a public relations way that if he wanted to introduce Apple, he needed to make some statements. The meaning behind his words was Bo Lang.
Then on Monday, the matter came to the conference table in Yangcheng.
It was exactly the same as the meeting where the iPhone 5 network access permission suddenly came to the ICAC meeting. It was just mentioned casually by an unimportant person. There was almost no discussion, let alone controversy, and naturally it was not shelved.
But this is only from the perspective of Yangcheng, and it is different when it comes to the various departments below.
For example, there are some internal discussions on the development and reform projects that are directly in charge of the project, as well as the finance team that provides the funds, which will naturally be quite intense.
However, the general trend is at Bolang Terminal, and no one is spreading the news.
After all, even if Apple China moves to Yangcheng, it will not be as "warm" as Bolang Terminal, a company that is already laying golden eggs. Bolang is a company born and raised in Yangcheng, and its development momentum is unprecedented.
Seeing that this wave of offensive was just scratching an itch, Apple did not hesitate at all and sent people directly from Silicon Valley.
I arrived yesterday and contacted Yangcheng for inspection this morning.
This time, the plans are much bigger, expressing the intention to establish a large data center group in Yangcheng to provide cloud services nearby for users in China.
Anyway, it's almost a statement of intention to move some things that must be kept in China according to relevant requirements to Yangcheng.
Of course, it also includes coordinating foundries to build innovative unmanned factories in Yangcheng and so on.
This attitude can be said to be very intense.
Although it can be interpreted as a business behavior, after all, even without Bolang, Apple still needs to carry out these necessary business plans. It is convenient to choose Yangcheng, but in the current context, with additional public relations methods, everyone understands
The essential.
At this critical moment, Bolang's market performance in some aspects was not satisfactory.
First of all, on Monday, Bolang Group suddenly and hastily reached a so-called cooperation with Jiangxia, directly entering the semiconductor chip manufacturing industry in a large scale. It seems to be very empty, and the rhythm of the Internet is also all kinds of outrageous trends.
This is not over yet. Just when the person in charge of Apple Asia Pacific was inspecting the Yangcheng market, Xinghai 1, which had already caused a sensation all over the world, had been snapped up and was out of stock in seconds. Suddenly, it took a full 55 minutes to sell out the new Xinghai 1.
One batch.
Coupled with the public relations tactics of all parties, it is indeed easy to shake confidence.
Listening to Su Hean's gentle tone on the other end of the phone, Wen Liang could imagine the direction of the news conveyed by some people, such as:
Bolang Terminal is just a newcomer in the mobile phone industry. Although the sales of Xinghai 1 are not bad, may it be a flash in the pan?
The background of Bolang Terminal is not deep~
Look, look, sales of just a few million units have slowed down~
Bolang has spread its stall in such a big way, so its ability to withstand risks is probably not ideal~
Bolang’s co-founder team is too young to do anything~
These would not have made a sound when the capital investment from the city was introduced on the day that Bolang Terminal was established. With various interests entangled, there was naturally a rush to be the first.
Then Bolang, with its ultra-high efficiency that no one expected, laid the foundation stone for Starry Sky Semiconductor, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bolang Group, in Jiangxia Optics Valley in more than two days.
After listening to what Su and An said one by one, Wen Liang said meaningfully: "After the wilting incident, I have a new understanding of some people's bottom line. It's not surprising. I just need to be faster than them."
Before Su He'an on the phone answered, Wen Liang continued: "If my uncle has a good relationship with the person in charge of the relevant unit, he can talk about how to get Apple to invest first. As for Apple, if they don't put forward the demand personally, then
You can pretend you don’t know, we are ancestors in this regard, the worst is that Chengtou will first influence the decision-making of Bolang Terminal, and then withdraw investment from Bolang Terminal~"
Su and An thought for a moment and asked, "Can you bear the divestment?"
Wen Liang first explained: "Apple's current operation is nothing more than trying to drain money from the bottom of the cauldron. It is mainly to slow down the development progress of Bolang terminal so that they can ensure the brand power step by step and launch new products at WWDC next spring.
The three time points for new products in autumn will bring back the lost product power.”
Then he said: "I have never been interested in the amount of funds that Chengtou is investing now. How can I not be able to bear it? I don't care even if the bank takes away the loan from Bolang Group. Bolang does not only have terminal business, but really
Once you get to that point, Yangcheng will be under a lot of pressure."
This last sentence made Su Hean understand: "Are you trying to make a show of going along with the current situation, withdrawing investment from the city, and taking the financial lead?"
Wen Liang answered directly: "It's just a matter of cheating a handful of apples. It doesn't matter if it works or not."
At the end, Su He An said with emotion: "You have played both sides of business and politics."
Wen Liang smiled and said nothing more.
After ending the call, Wen Liang adjusted the backrest of his seat, lay down, closed his eyes and rested his mind.
The current situation is really dangerous for Bolang.
Wen Liang is not a god, and he cannot predict events like a god. What he can do is to take one step at a time and be prepared as much as possible.
For example, the plan for the semiconductor company this time seems to be a proposal given after Lixia's comprehensive report last Monday. In the final analysis, Wen Liang put pressure on Lixia as early as last month, asking her to seize the time to complete all the sorting work before she can properly
planning.
Of course, in Shuoyuan's case, it was Wen Liang who saw the bottom line of the West from various international public opinions in his previous life and chose the general direction of development after his rebirth.
His planning standard is that ‘it’s better to have a father and a mother than to have one yourself’.
Paving the way bit by bit, even if you advance rashly, there will be a way out.
For example, now, it doesn't matter if the entire Bolang terminal is smashed. Bolang still has a mature application Internet ecosystem worth hundreds of billions, and there is room for retreat and sprint again.
In addition to the application of Internet ecology, Bolang also has the established Starry Sky Semiconductor. It is not difficult for this company to develop and make a living. If you want to influence this company, it is possible unless Lao Litou suddenly dies directly, and all the Lao Wen family dies suddenly.
At that point, everyone is gone and there is no need to worry.
In addition, there is actually a range that has recently made profits in overseas markets.
However, the structure of the company Be is too complex, and it is difficult to say what will happen in the future.
The first batch of people to establish offices in Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia were sent by Bolang, and then packaged and delivered directly to Be's parent company;
The offices in Silicon Valley are sent by parent company B. These people include staff and some... not necessarily regular staff;
The senior management of Be's parent company is actually a group of interesting people. It's hard to tell their overt and covert identities. Anyway, they need to report directly to Li Ze and Wen Liang and have no independent decision-making power in operating business.
Be's parent company has registered local companies all over the world, including North America, but the actual final place of registration is Moscow.
The scope of services provided is naturally the global wall-free Internet area, which does not include domestic and places like the Northern Dynasties. As it develops and grows, America actually has no way to control it, because large social platforms in overseas markets become more influential the more they control them.
.
As for America's desire to forcefully acquire it, that...maybe a very interesting situation.
All said and done, it's the worst place to expect much.
In short, the current situation has formed a very complex and entangled competitive state. Bolang Group has directly exerted pressure on Yangcheng by building a factory in Jiangxia, and has also exerted influence. Any decision made by Yangcheng on Bolang Terminal must consider the influence of public opinion.
.
Apple's layout is quite long-term. They have never thought about killing Bolang terminal directly. Although this trend is shown, the actual idea is just to slow down the development of Bolang terminal, so that they can do it without losing brand power.
Under such circumstances, Apple’s absolute strength will be used to crush Bolang Terminal.
In fact, it would not be of much benefit to Apple to directly kill the Bolang terminal now. Apple hopes to have a head-to-head competition in terms of products and then win a big victory, so as to achieve maximum benefits.
As for Xinghai 1, sales are slow today...
…………
Eight o'clock in the evening.
In a restaurant near Tiyu West, Li Ze, Chen Jiaxin, and Tang Pu were waiting for Mr. Wen to clean up their business.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wen, come and have some food."
"Mr. Wen, drink some water."
Wen Liang: "Gan."
Li Ze and his friends are always good, they don't eat in advance, they only eat together when Wen Liang arrives.
Several people ate enthusiastically.
There was no mention of all kinds of messy official business in the chatter, but they were all about 'gossip' about this and that.
For example, it is teased that Ze will always fall in love.
Wen Liang is not worried at all about the love affairs of these friends. They are not bad guys, nor are they Chu Ge. They have a good sense of proportion in this aspect.
On the other hand, most of Li Ze and others have never thought about being like Wen Liang, they must join forces. It's okay if there are people who can match each other. If they can't, they don't mind if there are people who can join forces.
The love interest among my friends is Sun Baoyin, a veteran cadre. He has been in love with a girl for several years, but there was not much progress before. Last month, Qin Zheng came back from his study tour, and Laoyin went abroad to Switzerland two days later. He still has a few months to go before he can
Returning to China, thousands of miles away, feels like good things are about to happen.
Only when you have eaten and drank enough can you discuss official matters.
Chen Jiaxin mentioned: "Lao Wen, your judgment is very accurate. When the shipment volume reaches about 5 million units, the enthusiasm for buying will slow down. Today is just the beginning, and it will probably be even slower tomorrow."
As of last Friday, the total sales volume was 2.94 million units. After that, there was a constant supply of 500,000 units every day. So far, 5.44 million units have been sold. In fact, buying enthusiasm began to slow down yesterday, and today it has only become more obvious.
Wen Liang nodded gently: "This is a good time."
"Yeah." Li Zeshen agreed, "Now that Apple is attacking, sales are slowing down, and the enthusiasm for buying will be further suppressed. When overseas sales begin on New Year's Day, the suppression will be released, and various plans will be further promoted through market performance."
Tang Pu then said with a smile: "I will be very busy before the end of the year."
"It's good to be busy, it will help us become more mature in business." Chen Jiaxin also said with a smile.
Wen Liang also smiled lightly and repeated again: "This is a good time."
Li Ze raised a smile: "It happens to be the end of the year, a natural internal time window for stability."
There is a huge commotion on the Internet. Various forces led by Apple and Weiluo are intensively planning to deal with Bolang. The top management of Bolang is in a good mood -
