Chapter 256 The Red Letter Is a Threat

"I have discussed with the three telecom operators, SPRINT-NEXTEL is most keen to introduce our products, AT&T and VERIAZON also expressed their willingness to cooperate, but they also explained that the current policy is unclear, and we need to wait for the FCC's approval. Notice."

SPRINT-NEXTEL, whose Chinese name is Sprint, is the third-ranked telecom operator in the United States, with a market value of around $26 billion. Above it, is the second-ranked operator, VERIAZON. The market value is nearly 200 billion US dollars, and the market value of the first AT&T (American Telephone and Telegraph Company) has reached 230 billion US dollars.

The situation of the US mobile phone market is completely different from that of Huaxia. When Chinese people buy mobile phones, they first look at the mobile phone brand, and then choose which operator. Americans, on the other hand, are accustomed to directly buying products from operators. Operators occupy more than 90% of the market. Without operator support, there is no need to talk about sales of mobile phones.

Lu Zixin frowned and said, "It seems that it is useless to find any operator for this matter."

In fact, before Hongxin was ready to enter the US market, some US telecom operators took the initiative to ask for cooperation. The market potential of Hongxin smart products is obvious to all. The Chinese market and the island market have fully proved this.

For telecom operators, no matter what mobile phone they sell, they can make money, and they are naturally very happy.

But for the U.S. market, the entry of Hongxin Group is entirely on another level.

Su Zhirong nodded and analyzed: "If our products enter the U.S. market, it will definitely have a huge impact on the U.S. market. The first is the mobile phone industry. The annual profit created by Apple in the U.S. alone is more than the annual tax revenue of some countries. high!"

"If Apple and other mobile phone companies are also defeated by us in the US market, the US economic system will be greatly affected. There is also the mobile phone chip industry, companies such as Qualcomm and Broadcom, and intelligent services will impact Google and Microsoft..."

"Our products and services almost involve more than half of the Internet industry, and behind these companies are the big capitalists and politicians in the United States, and they are definitely not happy to see Hongxin enter the American market."

Su Zhirong hasn't mentioned the most serious problem yet. For consumers, it is nothing more than a choice of more mobile phones.

But now the influence of Hongxin Group is not a mobile phone problem, but a problem related to the entire US economy!

How influential is the big company? Companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Samsung have even surpassed many countries in the ranking of world economies!

That's right, big corporations have more influence over economic behavior than many countries!

Apple's annual iPhone sales account for about 0.3 percent of the U.S. GDP. For example, after Apple announced that it would gradually transfer more than 200 billion US dollars from overseas to the U.S. market, the U.S. President even immediately called in person to thank Apple's President Kuo Yes, praised his contribution to the US economy.

The annual turnover of Samsung Group accounts for 20% of the GDP of Korea. Its revenue is related to the economic development of the entire country. It ranks among the top 50 economies in the world... and so on.

If the red letter is as invincible in the US market as the island country market, the impact will be immeasurable, and the capitalists on Wall Street may be lined up to jump off the building.

In view of these, the big capitalists and government officials in the United States are wary of the Hongxin Group and dare not let Hongxin enter the US market easily.

Su Zhirong asked tentatively, "How about we temporarily put down the US market and explore the European market?"

Lu Zixin thought for a while and said, "The current Red Letter only has some influence in China and surrounding areas. If you want to expand globally, you must enter the North American market. The United States and Canada are the two most important countries in the North American market. , the attitude of the U.S. market toward us is also representative of the attitude of the Canadian market.”

"I'll think about it again."

Lu Zixin does not want to compromise so easily. Americans are afraid that they will attack the high-tech industry in the United States and want to protect their own companies and markets. Are they only allowed to make money all over the world?

But the actual situation is very complicated. The United States is no better than China. In China, Hongxin is a domestic enterprise and is protected by its own policies. But in the U.S., they are threatening foreign companies and excluded from policy.

Of course, this situation is also unique to the Hongxin Group. Because other companies entering the U.S. market are not competitive in technology and the market, they can easily pass the review. Only the red letter is a leader in technology and has a completely different nature.

...

In the past few days, Lu Zixin has specially approved a new procurement plan, preparing to purchase a total of 15 private small business jets from two aircraft companies at a time, with an estimated purchase amount of one billion yuan.

The most expensive is that Lu Zixin prepared a Gulfstream private jet for himself, the price is about 250 million Chinese dollars, and the rest are business jets arranged for the company's executives to facilitate their travel.

This price is not a top-level luxury plane, mainly because Lu Zixin is reluctant to spend more than one billion to buy those luxury planes. He always feels that the performance of these planes is just like that. If the big guys in the group send one, the performance will definitely be higher than this too much.

After the aircraft is purchased, it also needs to be equipped with special private pilots and flight attendants, all of which are arranged by the company.

Before his private jet arrived, Lu Zixin still went to the United States. In a few days, the FCC will approve the Hongxin Group's product application, and he has to meet a few people first.

The first is Gru, the current president of AT&T.

AT&T is headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Its predecessor was the Bell Telephone Company. Bell was not "the top of the food chain" Bear Grylls, but the Alexander Bell known as the father of the telephone.

This company has been leading the world since historical times and is still the number one telecommunications operator in the world and is ranked in the top 10 most valuable companies in the world! It can be said to be a giant beast in the world economic market!

In the splendid AT&T headquarters building, Lu Zixin met Gru. He is around forty this year, with short black hair, a suit, and a white shirt, dressed as a traditional professional elite. This person is at the helm of a large multinational company worth hundreds of billions of dollars. His ability should not be underestimated.

"Nice to meet you, dear Mr. Lu." Gru shook hands with him. He didn't speak Chinese, but the translator function of Lu Zixin's mobile phone perfectly solved this problem.

"I'm also honored." Lu Zixin sat opposite him, and after a brief exchange, he began to discuss company affairs.
