After Ye Hua sent invitations in his name to the heads or principals of the car manufacturers and the eight major supply chain providers who were still in Shangdu, all the invitees accepted the invitation.
This private dinner was still at the original location, but Ye Hua did not have the entertainment skills of those in the Hollywood entertainment industry. Although it was a private dinner, there were not so many vases and fancy meals.
There are all industrial giants or technology giants present, and everyone cares about small amounts of money and market share.
Although there were occasional twists and turns in what was discussed at the dinner, the final result was still in line with Ye Hua's requirements. His proposal was also well-founded and partially compensated. Those Europeans and Americans were all thieves and discerning people.
Everyone can see that this is sucking the blood of others to nourish its own automobile industry.
After some consideration, Xiao Benzi was defeated and a Chinese automobile industry was established. However, although Xiao Benzi's automobile industry technology was obtained, there were still many key industrial technologies that the Japanese did not have. Xiao Benzi was defeated.
The world's eight largest car-producing countries have become the seventh largest. Generally speaking, it is still acceptable.
After weighing the pros and cons, the Europeans and Americans gave away Ye Hua's reputation. After all, this technology giant who seemed harmless to humans and animals, they also knew that he was a ruthless character. The key was that he still had a big stick in his hand that could punish them. Only then
This is the fundamental reason why they have to buy face.
…
The next day, Monday, March 29th.
In a hotel in Tokyo, the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association convened automakers and suppliers from all over Japan to deal with the crisis. All the top ten automakers were present.
At this moment, in the hotel lobby, a group of people were making a fuss and it could be described as a mass of indignation.
“What does American mean?”
"Don't you understand? The world has abandoned Japanese cars and we have become nothing but fish!"
"Well, I hope the authorities can find a breakthrough from the Chinese people."
Just when everyone had mixed feelings and was confused and uneasy about the future, a short man in a suit came here. Everyone present couldn't help but feel refreshed when they saw him.
The Honda representative quickly asked: "What's going on with the Chinese people? Tell me quickly!"
Soon, everyone realized something when they saw his disappointed expression. The glimmer of hope that had just risen in their hearts was immediately surrounded by a huge sense of crisis and fear.
"What's going on? Tell me quickly!"
Faced with this slightly excited scolding, the man finally said: "The Chinese are willing to help us enter the autonomous vehicle industry system, but we must exchange it for the core technology of the local automobile industry, including Shin-Etsu Chemical's
Core technology included... I agreed, and Chinese talents are willing to help!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar. The representative of Toyota was furious and said: "Help? What a big joke. The Chinese people colluded with the European and American people, and they were even the biggest masterminds. Hahaha, in turn, he became
Are you the savior of the Japanese automobile industry? Hahahaha... Baga!!!"
The representative from Toyota laughed in anger, and his face was even distorted with anger at one point.
At this time, the man said again: "Both the Chinese and Europeans and Americans have agreed, but only on the condition that they contribute core technologies, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Mazda's full market share, but the above four companies can exchange their core technologies for
30% market share…”
"Baga!!!!"
Four almost twisted tearing sounds sounded simultaneously, and they were clearly the representatives of the four automobile groups who were named. The Honda representative was a little older and passed out on the spot.
This is equivalent to throwing these four major automobile groups into the abyss, surrendering their essence in humiliation, and getting only a slight chance to survive, just like charity.
This is simply a disaster for the Japanese automobile industry.
"I will never agree to such a humiliating agreement!"
"This is not fun!!!"
…
On March 30, the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association jointly filed a lawsuit against Coastline Company for monopolizing its market position. The target was directed at the calibration conference of the developer's technical system plan that ended a few days ago, including the phc-store.
Prosecuted.
The core of Coastline Company is the PHC ecosystem. After the press conference on February 2, PHC was regarded as a "closed ecosystem". This calibration conference of the developer's technical system plan was also regarded as this "closed ecosystem".
The extension and coverage point of "ecology".
For the ecosystem of Coastline Company, the most important thing is that PHC users can only install application services on the PHC-store. It is precisely because of this setting that there has been an argument that Coastline has often made since the press conference in February.
The company's phc-store is actually monopolizing the software application service installation market in disguise.
This is actually a commonplace topic, because there was an Apple app-store in front of phc.
The two are almost highly similar.
Coastline Company's PHC products, third-party application service developers can only obtain applications through PHC-store.
The angry Japanese sued Ye Hua directly, but Coastline Company responded extremely quickly and responded immediately.
It can be said that this is a topic that has been debated for more than 20 years. For more than 20 years, it seems that there is no result at first glance. Anyone with a clear mind knows that this time the little book will end in vain. It is just a desperate and angry move.
That's all. If we could really win the lawsuit, Apple's app-store would have been out of business a long time ago.
…
At around 15:00 that afternoon, Ye Hua asked Qiao Wei to host an impromptu press conference.
At this moment, at the press conference, under the lens of many reporters, Qiao Wei said calmly and calmly: "... Coastline Company must solemnly put forward different views. We believe that the antitrust charges raised by the plaintiff simply do not have enough grounds.
. Specifically speaking, Coastline Company, like the App-store, only acts as a platform, but in fact it is the application developers who conduct transactions with consumers, so Coastline Company should not bear this part of the responsibility."
Cook: Meow???
If Cook knew that he really wanted to hit someone, Apple would avoid this kind of lawsuit and would not be afraid of it. But, bother, Apple has offended you? Do you have to drag Apple into the water in this kind of thing? Are you the dolphin on this coastline?
Is it really too much!?
At the same time, Ye Hua was watching this impromptu press conference behind the scenes and was sued by Xiaobenzi. He actually didn't care about this at all, not to mention that this kind of antitrust has a beginning and an end. If it really has results, Apple
The company's app-store has long been available.
Let's talk about it again, this matter is related to the drama between Rabbit and Eagle Sauce, so it is even more impossible to have a result.
Playing the game of ecology and telling this story will inevitably lead to endless entanglements with antitrust. Ye Hua has long been aware of this and has actively planned for this. It seems panicky, but in fact it is very stable.
At the press conference, Qiao Wei specifically asked a Japanese reporter who was present for the next opportunity to ask questions. The latter immediately asked after getting the opportunity to ask questions: "...according to analysis, on the one hand, Coastline Company does not allow developers to use the PHC platform at all.
When setting up a third-party store for consumers, the PHC-store platform itself is unique; on the other hand, in the previous article on "33.3% PHC tax", we also clarified several principles: Although Coastline Company does not decide
The pricing of PHC applications, but Coastline Company has also set multiple payment price ranges for PHC-store; and for consumption behavior on PHC, as long as the IAP interface is called, Coastline will participate in the sharing. In this relationship, Coastline
The company is equivalent to a distributor, which means it has a direct transaction relationship with users. What is the spokesperson's response to this?"
The giants in the Japanese automotive industry know that targeting Coastline Company does not make any sense in the automotive industry, because the other party has a more detached status in the automotive industry, and the real key to life is actually the closed ecosystem of PHC. If Coastline
Once the company loses its position here, all related problems in the automotive industry will be solved.
However, this is the lifeblood of Coastline Company. As a technology giant who started cautiously, Ye Hua has not built the most solid moat here, but only more solidly.
After listening to the translation, Qiao Wei nodded, and then replied seriously: "We still reject this fallacy. Coastline Company only charges developers a commission, and the pricing is set by the developers themselves, so consumers are still
'Indirect purchaser', obviously, does not have the qualifications to sue Coastline Company."
"The interview is over." After answering this question, Qiao Wei said the last word and turned to leave.
