Friday, October 11th, sunny to cloudy with northerly wind.
The lowest temperature in Beijing has dropped below 10c, and the high temperature is only 20c.
It’s time to wear two more layers of clothing.
The sun that is not bright enough in the morning makes people feel unhappy.
Especially for office workers who have a long commute, or are crowded in the subway or on the bus, they cannot be happy anymore when they think about having to go to work tomorrow or Saturday.
As the CEO of Bolang Communications, Zhong Zhengye seems to have been infected by this atmosphere.
He appeared in front of Wen Liang with a solemn and solemn face.
"Mr. Wen."
"sit down."
Wen Liang had just had breakfast and was flipping through the morning newspaper with a calm expression on his face.
Zhong Zhengye sat down on the sofa next to Wen Liang as he was told. For a moment, his thoughts turned to 'Will talking now disturb Mr. Wen?'
Fortunately, it only passed by in a flash. Zhong Zhengye sorted it out in his mind and reported: "The company's main base station upstream and downstream business lines were completely streamlined in late September, and the personnel have been integrated into place."
"Based on the test data of the original merger and acquisition of the complete set of product solutions in the mobile 4G network centralized test environment, the initial iteration and optimization of the software and hardware in the solution has been completed, forming a more flexible and industry-competitive complete set of solutions.
.”
"The new complete set of product solutions has replaced the original solution and entered the mobile test environment. A group of ten solutions were transferred to the mobile pilot environment for deployment after seven days of high-intensity stress testing. Three days ago, the pilot environment was officially launched for operation stability and other issues.
Aspects of actual testing.”
"Because the baseband business line was merged and transferred by Bolang Labs and other relevant departments of the group, there is almost no running-in trouble. At present, the first-generation complete set of baseband chip solutions has been perfected and has been authorized to Galaxy Chip to plan to provide a complete set of mobile device SoC solutions to the outside world.
plan."
“Based on industry data evaluation, we initially have the basis to compete with Qualcomm. In some subdivided standard modules, we have better product solutions than Qualcomm’s currently available products. For example, we have surpassed the current 4 categories and directly launched Level 6 to support higher downlink
rate."
After listening to Zhong Zhengye's report, Wen Liang thought about it and asked: "How is the cooperation with China Mobile?"
Zhong Zhengye could hear the profound meaning in this question, and for a moment he didn't know how to describe it: "Well... the cooperation is very good."
Since Wen Liang continued to ask questions, Zhong Zhengye described the key points: "Compared with Ericsson, Juchang, ZTE and other companies that participated in the centralized procurement test, China Mobile's cooperation with our company on site was more friendly."
"The main terminal test equipment uses the Xinghai 2/2Pro released by the group terminal, which is more conducive to our company's diversified testing and coordinated testing."
"Except for the 4G pilot base stations that have been completed, China Mobile has currently frozen all pilot base station projects, and our company is the only one with the temporary access plan."
"According to the real-time feedback from colleagues stationed in the company, the comprehensive performance of our new product solutions ranks tied for the second echelon. The first is Ericsson. This result is surprising to everyone, especially Juchang."
"Of course, our company ranks first in the comprehensive evaluation criteria because our price is slightly lower and is the most cost-effective among all manufacturers."
After listening, Wen Liang put down the newspaper in his hand and did not speak immediately.
After pondering for a moment, Wen Liang looked at Zhong Zhengye: "Apply for more resource support from the group. Don't worry about the cost in the recent period, and strive to make further progress in the complete set of solutions for the upstream and downstream business of the base station."
"Understood." Zhong Zhengye responded decisively at first, and then expressed his opinion without hesitation, "However, Mr. Wen, since the official establishment of Bolang Communications, our comprehensive investment cost in research and development has exceeded 3.5 billion."
Wen Liang waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, opening up the market is more important. The development goal of the communication business is not to rely on mobile phones, or even rely on the domestic market."
Zhong Zhengye nodded repeatedly: "I understand, please give me your instructions."
Wen Liang glanced at Zhong Zhengye. Once this person reached a sufficient status, even the words he blurted out would sound sweet. He said, "Let the group's public affairs department assist you. You may face a serious public relations crisis next."
"Understood."
Zhong Zhengye came and left in a hurry. He didn't even meet anyone from the Bolang Group except Wan An...
That’s right!
What Bolang has been most targeted at is not Alibaba’s provocation in the Internet business, nor is it the possible provocation from Oceanwide, but its communications business!
This is the latest news Wen Liang received last night.
So Wen Liang immediately called the CEO of Bolang Communications over. He needed to know the latest development of the communications business.
Judging from Zhong Zhengye’s report, the specific situation is not bad.
The first is iteration and optimization of product solutions, which is one of Bolang's strengths... throw money and try violently.
Bolang Communications did not start from scratch.
In the early stage, we negotiated with some domestic communication companies that also have the ability to provide 4G communication networking. In the end, we spent a total of 6 billion on product mergers and acquisitions, patent licensing and other aspects, including the package acquisition of a communication company.
Not only that, in terms of terminals, the group has transferred all the research and independent intellectual property rights and patent authorizations on 4G and other aspects in the Bolang laboratory to Bolang Communications.
However, some 5G research projects are still carried out in the Bolang Laboratory.
When there is sufficient foundation and patent barriers have been eliminated through acquisitions, licensing, etc., we have reached an area that can be solved by violent attempts.
Like similar projects, Bolang did not skimp on spending money at all. After burning 3.5 billion real money, it soon reached a level similar to that of world-renowned communication equipment manufacturers in terms of comprehensive performance.
However, it is still far from the top.
In the mobile centralized procurement test mentioned by Zhong Zhengye, Bolang Communication's solution is in the second echelon, with a slight discount.
The real situation is that in addition to Ericsson, units including Bolang Communications, Juchang, ZTE and other units are in the second echelon, and the third echelon is even worse, such as Datang Telecom and Panda Electronics.
Both belong to the second echelon. There is a gap between Bolang Communications and Juchang, which is almost the same as ZTE. After all, ZTE and Bolang have strategic cooperation in the communications business.
Or to put it another way, Bolang’s communications business has benefited from ZTE’s support.
It’s just that ZTE didn’t expect that Bolang would have the same crazy attributes in every field. With Bolang Communication’s initial investment and Bolang Communication’s quotation, based on the current construction volume, who knows how long it will take to recover the cost.
Bolang Communication's quotation is not the lowest, but it is the most cost-effective, almost at cost price. This is why Bolang Communication finally ranked first overall.
Even Ericsson, which ranks first in overall performance, has nothing to say. Its price is 25% higher than that of Bolang Communications.
As for why Ericsson ranked first in terms of comprehensive performance, Zhong Zhengye didn’t know, and even Juchang didn’t know. Moreover, Juchang had already prepared to aggressively open up the 4G market, but he didn’t expect that the first battle in China was very stiff.
Juichang was surprised anyway. In theory, their technical strength should not be weaker than Ericsson. In the current international market, they are both among the best.
In summary, because of the friendly and cooperative attitude of the mobile party, Bolang Communications has developed smoothly.
Bolang has not been stingy about reciprocating the favor, and has no intention of making money on this batch of centralized procurement projects. It trades at cost prices or even at a discount.
After all, the wool comes from the sheep.
Who made China Mobile take the initiative to tie itself to Bolang early on?
Moreover, Bolang Communications's plan is to formally enter the market through this cooperation and build a reputation.
but……
Although the development situation is very good, judging from the news that Wen Liang has learned, Goldman Sachs's targeting may be even more unreasonable, and may ultimately depend on some special circumstances.
…………
…………
During the day this Friday, Wen Liang didn't leave the hotel.
A lot of things are happening in the outside world.
The first thing that had an impact on the market was: Tang Pu officially appeared as CEO and COO of Weiluo Group.
A welcome ceremony was held publicly.
Affected by this news, the Hong Kong stock market was very dynamic.
The stock price of Wilt Group has been rising again, and Hong Kong stocks and A-shares related to Wilt have shown an upward trend. According to incomplete statistics, as many as 200 stocks have been affected by the good news and their stock prices have risen.
Among them, a certain A-share stock almost reached its daily limit.
Although at the welcome ceremony, Tang Pu made almost no statement, only expressing that he would get into work as soon as possible.
From a public opinion perspective, this matter has generated the largest amount of discussion.
It has a positive impact on the Bolang side.
The second thing:
The Alibaba department comprehensively promotes options such as ‘choose one from two’ and ‘exclusive’.
The coverage is very broad.
Mainly, the two major shopping platforms, Taobao and Tmall, require some merchants to choose to be exclusive, not JD.com or hot-selling malls.
Secondly, the payment methods of all online platforms, including shopping platforms, will no longer support third-party payment methods other than Alipay from now on, including but not limited to all payment methods of Bolang's 'Hui Pay', Baie's Tenpay
'All payment methods.
This scope is not limited to Taobao and Tmall, but also a series of online platforms controlled by Alibaba, such as Ele.me.
Alibaba officially launched the promotion of the ‘Laiwang’ instant messaging app.
Announced the restart of the AliyunOS project and announced that it plans to invest no less than 4 billion US dollars in domestic mobile phone manufacturers. The initial contact target is Meizu.
There is also the exclusive promotion of Alibaba Cloud.
In addition, it announced an offer to the board of directors of Amap to fully acquire Amap.
Announced an offer to the board of directors of Youku Tudou to fully acquire Youku Tudou Group.
There are all kinds of them, which cover all aspects when taken together. They cover a wider area and have greater actions than those mentioned by Mapelly and JD.com Liu.
However, so much news is mainly targeted at the enterprise level. Unlike the rise in stock price of Weilui Group, many people can participate. In addition, White Goose and other parties have responded, so the communication influence is not too great.
The third thing:
Some gossip has spread on social media platforms at home and abroad.
It was mentioned that the Bolang Group used unscrupulous methods to treat an old man who was nearly 70 years old. The methods were extremely cruel and he was killed to death.
It was mentioned that Bolang Communications Company, a subsidiary of Bolang Group, intervened in China Mobile's 4G communications network procurement through abnormal means, implying that there are procedural issues.
It implies that Bolang Group is cooperating with relevant parties to manufacture the second 'prism' in China.
It implies that the official background of Bolang Group is very complicated.
The other party's intentional push creates a state of undercurrent.
According to the existing information, it can be seen that the mastermind behind the scenes is led by Goldman Sachs, and the participants are very complicated. It is unclear how many parties are complicit...
…………
Wen Liang did not take the initiative to deal with the Ali group's targeting, nor did he take the initiative to pay attention to the undercurrent.
He also did not contact Xi Dong of Mobile, nor did he contact Lao Miaotou who had strong decision-making power.
After spending a day systematically sorting out a lot of information, he figured out one thing.
His view of Goldman Sachs is very, very biased.
Wen Liang had mentioned the so-called "Goldman Sachs Aramco" to many people before, but it was not until today that he discovered a big problem. He himself did not understand this concept thoroughly enough.
On the surface, there wasn't even a direct conflict between Bolang and Goldman Sachs.
Theoretically, if Goldman Sachs' model project of state-to-state reform and private ownership in China was destroyed by the Bolang Group, there would be no need for such a big fight.
For now, the resources Goldman Sachs has mobilized are already exaggerated. Not to mention the domestic ones, overseas companies that have exposed traces include Qualcomm, Ericsson, Microsoft, and Apple.
For example, Apple suddenly increased its promotion of 5C/5S, and Microsoft expressed its opinions on the Star Desktop System. Although it seems inconsequential in isolation, when taken together, it is quite impressive.
For a capital market like overseas, where there is no need to resort to hypocrisy or compromise in pursuit of profits, Goldman Sachs will have to pay some price for this.
However, Goldman Sachs has no hesitation in fully targeting any form of expansion of Bolang Group and suppressing the development of Bolang Group's existing business.
Picture what?
picture……
Amy's interests.
Or, to put it another way, whatever is good for Goldman Sachs is good for America.
The scope of the huge invisible empire of Goldman Sachs is far more terrifying than imagined based on the known public information, let’s just say the public information.
Goldman Sachs has so far produced two American Treasury Secretaries, and there are countless other positions in economic-related fields.
This is not over yet.
Goldman Sachs also has considerable influence in Europe.
The first president of the European Central Bank was the vice president of Goldman Sachs, the first president of the World Bank was the vice chairman of Goldman Sachs, the first president of the Bank of England had worked for Goldman Sachs for a long time, and the first prime minister of Italy was an international consultant to Goldman Sachs...
The same are too numerous to mention.
To sum up, the development and growth of Bolang has made America very wary. She is wary that it will become more difficult to implement their strategy against China, so she spares no effort to control Bolang.
So it is reasonable for Goldman Sachs to spare no effort in targeting it.
Or it should be said conversely that Goldman Sachs' interests were affected, so the staff provided control suggestions to Guan Hai.
Because...the slutty Ami boss and the iron-clad Goldman Sachs!
In fact, standing in the 2020s, even if you only look at public information, you will be very aware of this.
In a sense, Mr. Depp was able to go up because his public remarks were more in line with the interests of Goldman Sachs, because the first thing Depp did was to move Goldman Sachs into the white house.
For example, the Treasury Secretary, Economic Director, and Chairman of the New York Fed are all from Goldman Sachs.
Now, Bolang Group has seriously hindered Goldman Sachs' interests in China. You must know that Goldman Sachs entered the Chinese market as early as 1994, when Wen Liang was only two years old!
Their most successful case on the surface is Weiluo. Without Bo Lang, Weiluo and Liu Baye are tightly bound and will always be puppets.
It also seriously hindered the interests of Goldman Sachs Global.
Again, the rise of a very large giant will definitely deprive others of their existing interests in the global market. Goldman Sachs cannot be said to be the first to bear the brunt, but it can also be said to share weal and woe.
but……
Although he understood the inner logic of Goldman Sachs targeting Bolang, Wen Liang had more doubts.
What is the significance of such targeting, especially targeting Bolang Communications’ business?
So, in the evening, Wen Liang left the hotel and prepared to go to Lao Miao's house.
When others are indecisive, who knows, Wen Liang's indecision in the capital is always a symptom. If nothing else, this is definitely true.
