Chapter 1457 Chaos
With the power of money and various motivations of reputation, the "New York Times" was as excited as if it had taken a stimulant, and it has been chasing the leader of Qiao Gang.
The special issue was released for three consecutive days, and it became more and more unbearable every day, especially when the domestic political situation in Vietnam and Indonesia was chaotic, and bureaucrats and warlords everywhere were extremely greedy, and the exploitation of workers was far more severe than that of Guo Taiming. So, when all kinds of violent news broke out, more people felt extremely disgusted, and settled the blame on Gang Leader Qiao.
Everyone knows the strength of Gang Leader Qiao, but he can't fight against the mainstream media in the United States.
This is not the previous life, nor is it when iphones and ipads dominated the world. Leader Qiao knows that the current stubbornness will definitely only bring more criticism to himself, and it will definitely not help in solving the matter in the slightest.
Those guys on the board of directors, because of their own success in the past few years, dare not violate the slightest, but it does not mean that they do not want to seize power again. If they take this opportunity to fight for power and profit, I am afraid that Apple will fall into internal friction again.
Gang Leader Qiao's thoughts are entirely on how to become the world's largest electronics company, how to make people all over the world worship and worship, not how to fight wits and courage with the American people at all.
Since you can't carry it, then don't carry it.
In the midst of much anticipation, coo Tim Cook finally appeared at the press conference, announcing that Apple will increase the prices of various foundries in the future, at least 20% of the order price will be increased, and will supervise each foundry, They are ordered to improve the production and living conditions of the workers, so as to prevent the workers from being tortured for various reasons.
Tim Cook also announced the dismissal order of 55 managers involved in this matter, as well as the issue of compensation for this matter, and Tim Cook’s sincere apology... The entire conference lasted for more than an hour, Apple The company can be said to have done enough to show off.
The result is certainly good. The American people have always been more tolerant of companies in their own country, especially the pride of the United States like Apple. If it hadn't touched their bottom line this time, I am afraid that everyone would not say anything-contempt for human rights. In the United States, where the founding of the country is the standard of "freedom". It is the least allowed.
The "New York Times" and other media also slowly put away their hands at this time. After all, Apple has made a new attitude, so if you chase after them again, you will be called "stingy", and the impression is divided. It's low.
Anyway, their purpose is not really to kill Apple, so after getting a lot of benefits, the "New York Times" retreated contentedly.
Gang Leader Qiao has nothing to do with The New York Times, but that doesn't mean he won't vent his anger.
The compensation and price increases announced by Tim Cook alone. He will plunder at least 5% of Apple's profits. This is a great humiliation for him who is committed to building Apple's high-profit image.
Since this is the case, someone must bear the price.
who?
Of course, it was the biggest suspect in Qiao's heart - Li Jianxi!
The last time the Samsung s1 smartphone was suppressed, it wasn't just companies like Nokia and Motorola, there was also Qiao Gang behind the scenes.
It was precisely because of his own injustice that he felt that Li Jianxi was taking revenge on himself.
There is also the possibility of Xiao Qi. It is even possible that the two families did it together, but Li Jianxi should definitely be the big one—Xiao Qi's side has made so much profit. It's not Xiao Qi's temporary show, but Xiao Qi has been doing this from the very beginning. He has no intention of comparing with Apple at all, and the impromptu possibility may not be great.
Except that Li Jianxi is most likely to stab him, Xiao Qi is more powerful than Li Jianxi. Killing chickens to warn monkeys should be done by looking for weak ones, this way can not only relieve hatred, but also serve as a reminder to Xiao Qi, warning him "I am not easy to mess with".
Due to the above-mentioned reasons, the Joe gang leader asked Tim Cook to admit his mistake. On the one hand, he quickly launched his own revenge.
"Apple announced that it will change suppliers because of possible defects in the quality of several key components of Samsung."
"Against the possible infringement of Samsung s1, Apple filed a lawsuit in the New York court, applying for a judgment against Samsung to pay 500 million U.S. dollars."
"Bangzhu Qiao publicly stated that Samsung's products are very vulgar in terms of quality and appearance. It will take 10 years to challenge the status of the iPhone!"
"..."
A series of reports against Samsung suddenly took over from Apple's scandal and spread in the media all over the world.
How can Li Jianxi be a submissive person?
Although he wasn't sure about Gang Leader Qiao's true intentions, he vaguely felt that the sudden dispute must be related to Apple's recent accusations.
But in any case, Samsung will not become cannon fodder for others, let alone be suppressed by Apple like this.
Coupled with the fact that the s1 turmoil has not completely dissipated, and then being slandered and suppressed by the leader Qiao, the entire grade of Samsung will drop by one level in the future.
This is absolutely unbearable for Li Jianxi, who is committed to building Samsung's international brand.
So Li Jianxi is not afraid of going to war with Apple, or even has to.
"Samsung announced that it will increase the price of Apple's a3 processor, and the specific price increase will be more than 15%."
"According to sources close to Li Jianxi, Samsung is considering attacking in the field of smart tablets, striving to lead Apple."
"Samsung has never engaged in any infringement, and Samsung's legal team will respond positively to Apple's unreasonable demands! Apple is not the leader in the smart electronics industry, so it is unbearable to be so arrogant!"
"..."
For a while, the battle between the two companies made people confused.
More guarantees and analysts, but no moral nonsense, fueling the battle even more.
However, most people are still not optimistic about Samsung.
Because although the sales of Samsung mobile phones are relatively strong, they are only non-smart mobile phones. When the first smartphone s1 was launched, it was beaten to the point of nosebleeds. How can it compare to the stunning and successful Apple iPhone?
It may not be easy for Apple to find a new component processor, but it is even more difficult for Samsung to avoid Apple's various suppressions!
Li Jianxi naturally knew this too, so apart from the superficial counterattacks, he was also thinking about more important counterattacks. (to be continued..)
