On the night when Lu Fei returned to Beijing, Gao Yuanyuan, Zeng Li and others who were in high spirits stayed in Pengcheng to celebrate a little.
The whole villa was empty.
Lu Hua was temporarily left in the care of Xiao Hongmei. Early in the morning, on his way to Kyoto University, Lu Fei stopped at his eldest brother's house and teased the child for a while before leaving with unfinished business.
In the afternoon, a new logic product launch conference was held in the auditorium.
I don't know if it was intentional or a coincidence.
Just today, just now, China Unicom and Apple held a ceremony for the first sale of the iPhone into the Chinese mainland market at the World Trade Center.
Led by Apple CEO Cook and China Unicom Chairman Chang Xiaobing, Liu Chuanzhi and Yang Yuanqing of Lianxiang, Lu Yun of Ali Baba, Zhang Chaoyang of Sohu and others all appeared at the scene.
Almost an Avengers again!
"Zhizhizhi."
Lu Fei had already lost count of how many times he had asked for the Lu Alliance. Taking advantage of a break in rehearsals, he asked, "How is the investigation of the situation going?"
"The vice president who has a good relationship with us said that China Unicom's sales from the opening ceremony to now are not very good. According to the current data compiled by Yanjing, they can't even sell 1,000 units in an hour."
Sun Hongjun laughed and said: "The employees we arranged to work in Zhongguancun also said that the sales situation of iPhone 4 is very bad."
"Oh? Have you checked the reason?"
Lu Fei was very surprised. He expected that the sales of the China Unicom version of Apple would be very poor, but he did not expect it to be this bad.
(ps: This is the actual situation. Apple will really become popular in China starting with iphone4S and iphone5)
"What time did we initially find out?"
Sun Hongjun truthfully reported that China Unicom's iPhone 4 was a completely stripped-down version with no WiFi, poor signal, many package bundles, and high tariffs, so it was better to buy parallel imports.
Not to mention retaining WiFi, the price is even cheaper.
The key is to be set off by peers. Without logic
China Unicom's choice of Apple is equivalent to defecting to the Prosecution Party in 1949.
"Pfft!"
Lu Fei's lips curled up, "The market prices for contract machines are different at home and abroad. We have to focus on bare machines."
"Bare metal does that too."
Sun Hongjun looked disdainful, "In the past, Apple did not pay attention to our domestic market. Until now, there are only two stores in the country. If people want to buy iPhone 4, they must either buy parallel imports or pre-order on Taoduoduo."
“How are the sales on Taoduoduo?”
"It is officially on sale on Double Eleven, and it is now in the exclusive pre-sale stage. This data is more intuitive, about 30,000 units."
"long time?"
"In less than half a day, Ali Baba has launched a special promotion for iPhone 4, which can subsidize up to 200 yuan. According to this trend, it is estimated that today it will be 80,000 to 90,000 yuan, and it may exceed 200,000 yuan in three days."
Sun Hongjun curled his lips and said, "Mr. Lu, this Luyun Monster is interesting. It used to be Lianxiang, then Nokia, and now it's changed to Apple. It's really been a battle with repeated defeats."
"How about calling him 'the invincible little strong'?"
Lu Fei smiled and said: "Ari will be left to Feigou to deal with it. You just need to cooperate and use your energy to deal with Apple, Nokia, Samsung, especially Apple and Nokia."
“This year’s Double Eleven is very lively.”
The corners of Sun Hongjun's mouth raised slightly.
“In the future, Double Eleven will only become more lively every time.”
Lu Fei took a sip of water, "What we have to do is to constantly polish our products, upgrade from a technical moat to a brand moat, so that people will always feel that the logic is better than Apple."
Sun Hongjun readily agreed, and then the two of them talked about Logic's global patent war with Nokia and Mentor International's acquisition.
Carl Icahn fulfilled his promise, and with logic, the vest company registered in Singapore was extremely close to acquiring Mentor International. Because it was a cross-border acquisition, it required approval from local antitrust authorities in the United States, the European Union, and China.
As long as it is approved and Carl Icahn is given a few hundred million dollars in hard work, his BGI will be able to integrate Mentor International in nine days.
If everything goes well, China's EDA tool level will be at least fifth in the world.
Therefore, for this press conference, we not only invited the Industry and Information Technology Department, but also invited all the brains from relevant departments such as Commerce and City Supervision.
The process and content cannot be said to be exactly the same as the press conferences in Europe and the United States. At least they are very similar. Even the mantra remains the same. When you open your mouth or shut up, you are "way ahead of your peers."
But the core topics are different. The domestic ones are——
What grade is iPhone 4?
Is it also priced at the same price as my logicX3?
"This is the country's first world-class mobile terminal processor, Zulong 211, jointly developed by Logic and Huawei!"
Lu Fei faced the camera and held the chip.
"Whoa whoa whoa~"
In an instant, there was a wave of applause.
Teachers and students are excited, the media is excited, and leaders are satisfied.
There are also three major operators among them. Li Xiangdong and Mr. Lu of China Telecom are close friends. Although they did not get the exclusive launch of logic
But the top management of China Unicom is different.
After losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds, Chang Xiaobing and others had livid faces, but the smiles did not disappear, they just moved to their mobile faces.
Wang Jianzhou and other mobile executives were overjoyed. From the moment the press conference opened, the laughter never stopped.
Originally, China Telecom had Xiaomi and Shenzhou, China Unicom had Apple, but China Mobile was weak and had no star smartphones to compete with it. But things are different now. With LogicX3 in hand, I own the world!
Wei, Shu and Wu are three pillars.
The revitalization of TD-SCDMA with independent intellectual property rights is expected!
"I know what everyone is concerned about?
"Are you concerned about how much the logicX3 will cost? Then I won't give in. Our pricing this year will be like this."
Lu Fei pressed the page turner, and the launch price and time immediately appeared on the projection screen behind him, indicating that it was officially on sale on Double Eleven.
16GB, 4999 yuan.
32GB, 5999 yuan.
"Hiss~"
Everyone was surprised not only by the price, but also by the fact that the price was exactly the same as the iPhone 4. It was clearly a competition.
But I don’t think loigcX3 is too expensive.
The iPhone 4 has a poor signal and only has a 3-axis gyroscope. Why should the world's first AMOLED panel, China's first high-end processor, or the 6-axis logicX3 be priced lower?
The fact that things are expensive is not its shortcoming, it is our shortcoming!
The venue fell into a brief silence, and was greeted by a more ferocious explosion, thundering in the silent place.
Seeing such a scene, Chang Xiaobing smiled bitterly.
I originally wanted to show off my power in front of China Telecom and China Mobile with the victory of iPhone 4, and show off the resentment I had been holding back in the 2G era. I didn’t expect that China Unicom would take advantage of WCDMA and stumble on Apple phones. As of now -
—
Sales of iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 are not good!
If the situation continues to be this bad, there is only one way.
Internal apportionment!
Incorporate iPhone 4 sales into employees' KPIs. If the sales are not sold, performance will be deducted! Just treat it as employees paying to buy mobile phones!
"Mr. Lu, you did a good job."
As soon as the press conference ended, China Unicom's senior executives were unwilling to stay for a second longer. They forced a smile to say a few polite words to Lu Fei and then left with a cold face, not giving China Mobile any chance to make sarcastic remarks.
"Brother, you are my benefactor, the great mobile benefactor!"
Wang Jianzhou grabbed Lu Fei's hand and shook it vigorously.
There is no sun in the sky, and there is only one sun of logic in my heart!
"Mr. Wang, how to deal with China Unicom's version of Apple next depends on you moving yourselves." Lu Fei smiled.
"Hahaha, look, my assist is so awesome, I promise to give China Unicom and Apple a shock!"
Wang Jianzhou hooked up with him and said, "Come on, brother, I'm treating you today. Have a good drink and you won't come back until you're drunk!"
"What a coincidence."
Lu Fei shook his head and laughed: "There is a celebration banquet tonight. Isn't this Hantang going public? Another day, another day I will treat you to dinner."
From yesterday to today, the aftermath of Hantang's listing has not only not ended in the entertainment industry, but has just begun.
Not to mention the large-scale projects in the report, only the Han and Tang Cinemas are being rolled out across the country, with the support of Sunac Real Estate. Once the self-built cinemas are formed, China Entertainment will be the number one player.
We should change the name to half of China Entertainment Group.
Small and medium-sized companies do not dare to expect too much, but can only envy and hate them, and those companies that follow closely behind are all undercurrents.
Both Galloping Pony and Enlight Media regard Han and Tang as their targets to catch up, and Bona’s Yu Dong is determined to go public as soon as possible.
Previously, I had been taking money from Hong Kong and Taiwan capital to cooperate with Hong Kong companies, which was equivalent to a son-in-law who stepped in and looked up to others.
We have to go public no matter what, but it is too late to enter the GEM. Hantang occupies the first share of China Entertainment. If nothing else happens, the second share will be Huayi. It is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.
.
Instead of queuing up on the GEM, it’s better to brave the Nasdaq.
Be the first film and television media concept stock in the US stock market!
That's not a chicken head, but a dragon's head. At that time, Hong Kong Circle would no longer want to ride on Bona's head, but Bona would make Hong Kong Circle unable to climb up!
At the same time, Xiangjiang, which is only separated by a river from Pengcheng, was also shaken by the listing of Han and Tang Dynasties, and the entire Hong Kong circle was shaken.
Especially when they saw that Chen Guofu, Xu Ke and others who had embraced the Han and Tang Dynasties had become rich, they all became jealous and wanted to go north.
Huayi also held a whole day of meetings.
Also present was Lu Yun, who attended the first sale ceremony of iPhone 4 and China Unicom. As the third largest shareholder of Huayi after Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei, he was very concerned about the value of his 23% shares, so he stopped by to continue discussing cooperation.
“This year’s Double Eleven is very lively.”
Wang Zhongjun couldn't help but sigh, "Over there is Apple vs. Logic, and here is your Ali vs. Feigou."
"We do not fight individually, but join forces to fight against the enemy."
Lu Yun said with a straight face, "In addition to Apple, Nokia, Lianxiang, Ericsson and other international brands, they will all stand by me."
"Hiss~"
Wang Zhonglei took a breath of air.
"Is there any problem with the celebrities?"
Lu Yun took a sip of water, thinking a lot.
"No problem, just follow the old rules."
Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei looked at each other and readily asked Lu Yun to pick Huayi's contracted artists to enter Tmall's Double Eleven live broadcast room to bring goods, as long as the appearance fee and commission were no problem.
"Well, it's best not to choose Zhouxun."
Wang Zhonglei added.
"Oh, why can't Zhou Xun work?"
Lu Yun was very curious.
"She is very resistant to this, and even refuses to buy the shares of Huayi's internal employees no matter how much she is persuaded." Wang Zhonglei sighed, "The issue of contract renewal has been put on hold, and it seems that she will leave when it expires next year."
Lu Yun secretly provoked: "Are you like Liu Yifei, who was also poached to the Han and Tang Dynasties?" He touched his chin and said, "It's completely understandable. After all, Shao Shao, who starred in Huayi, acted in "Painted Skin" with the Han and Tang Dynasties.
", and acted in "The Wind" again, and we collaborated more."
Wang Zhongjun shook his head: "That's not true. Han and Tang did not poach Zhou Xun. She wanted to go it alone and set up a star studio like Zeng Li. This is not an isolated phenomenon. Huang Xiaoming, Li Shuangbing, and Fan Erbing all have their own businesses.
idea."
"Yes, that's why we have to seize the time to go public and use shares to tie them up for a few more years." Wang Zhonglei said with a smile. "I have already asked people, and the second batch has basically been decided. On December 24, 8 families will be together.
When it goes public, Huayi will be there.”
"The time has come for us to achieve fame and fortune!"
Wang Zhongjun was very excited, "I will learn from the Han and Tang Dynasties when the time comes, and look at Mr. Gao's speech during the interview, as well as the investment plan."
"Everything has been arranged, but there are not as many projects as the Han and Tang Dynasties, "Tangshan Earthquake", "If You Are the One 2"..."
Wang Zhonglei looked left and right, "If the theater brand is included, should the film industry also be included?"
"What to write? It's all a fool!"
Lu Yun sneered. After all, Thaksin Shinawatra could use the theater chain’s name to develop real estate projects during the Han and Tang Dynasties.
The industrialization of film is purely a trick for leeks.
"You're right."
Wang Zhongjun is convinced that it is so easy to make money from movies now!
A good or bad project, even if it is a rubbish script, as long as the star cast is in place and the promotion is in place, you can make money!
Why waste time, effort and energy on building a heavy film industry?
Isn’t it nice to make money while lying down?
"But it looks like it's real. It went public yesterday, and today it announced the establishment of the 'Light and Shadow Industry' special effects company. Chen Guofu will be the director, and Guo Fan, who made "Source Code", will be the deputy director. It has also announced that it will work on movies such as "Iron Man"
Special effects studios have signed strategic cooperation agreements, such as Industrial Light and Magic, Weta..."
Wang Zhonglei frowned, half-convinced.
"These are all just for show. If you can fool others, you can't fool me." Lu Yun was confident, "No one knows better than me what this bastard Lu Fei is thinking. He's just telling stories."
"That's what I say, but it's so bluffing. Science fiction, magic, military, monsters. We didn't dare to think about it or say it before. That's why Mr. Lu dared to say it. Capital, stock investors, they
I really can’t believe it, I think we need to learn from it.”
Wang Zhongjun's eyes flashed with a cunning light.
"Zhongjun, why are you just staring at the movie?"
Lu Yun looked at the two brothers with disappointment.
"If we don't stare at the movie, what should we stare at?"
Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei looked at each other.
"Don't make money by making movies. Even if the movie doesn't make a penny, I have a way to make Huayi continue to make money."
Lu Yun is full of confidence.
"If you don't make money from movies, how will Huayi make money?"
Wang Zhongjun looked confused.
"Big data, big IP, big traffic."
Lu Yun stretched out three fingers and took Taoduoduo as an example.
Once Huayi is listed, it will undoubtedly capitalize the film and television industry.
In the future, Huayi's movies will be the same as Taoduoduo. The important thing is to earn influence and market share. Only on the basis of influence and market share, Huayi will have more "money paths", such as a
All the movies he invested in were hits at the box office,
It can drive up the entire stock price!
Huayi must break out of the inherent thinking of film and television companies and make more use of traffic, IP and data in order to make more money.
"But Han and Tang didn't seem to do this. Logically speaking, Mr. Lu..."
Wang Zhongjun hesitated.
"Wrong, he has been doing this for a long time!"
There was disdain in Lu Yun's tone, "Otherwise, why would you buy the IP of "Iron Man", "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "The Three-Body Problem"? Isn't it just that the data is good and it needs to be IP-based?"
"It makes sense, it makes sense."
During his exchanges, Wang Zhongjun gradually realized that the relationship between Huayi and movies was no longer a simple equal sign.
After listing, it can be fully capitalized and operated.
IP capitalization, traffic capitalization, and even actors can be capitalized, which vaguely opens the door to a new world.
After chatting for a long time, the two people who were full of achievements enthusiastically sent Lu Yun out of the company and watched the BMW 760 drive away.
Wang Zhongjun said with emotion: "No wonder Mr. Lu wants to take Liu Yifei in. Maybe this is the purpose. Gao! It's really high! Mr. Lu is truly worthy of being a big crocodile among capital crocodiles."
"Then who can say for sure, maybe he is just greedy for her body."
When Wang Zhongjun thought about the possibility of her returning to Hollywood as she had climbed up the ranks of the Han and Tang Dynasties, he felt bad in his heart.
"Do you think Mr. Lu looks like you?"
Wang Zhongjun actually hated Liu Yifei from the bottom of his heart, and sighed: "As I said, if you do something wrong, you will not live. It depends on whether the mother and daughter will continue to do it. If you offend us, you can still live. If you offend Mr. Lu, hum.
Huh, even if you hide in Hollywood..."
"Brother, what if I offend Gao Yuanyuan, Mr. Gao?"
Wang Zhonglei had a gloomy face and a wicked smile. ()
