Chapter 521 Undercurrent Surges

January 5, 2016.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Zhou Chen held a media conference at the headquarters of the Xinghai Group, and the invited media reporters were very curious about what big moves the Xinghai Group would announce this time.

Under normal circumstances, Xinghai Group would not hold a media conference.

On the background wall of the live stage, "Xinghai Group Media Conference", other than that, the media reporters can no longer get any news, and can only wait for Zhou Chen's announcement.

"Wow, another big investment."

The media reporters on the scene were surprised, but compared to Xinghai Group's investment in smart cities, this news is not big news.

But for colleagues, it may be different, that is frightening.

after an hour,

The media conference is over.

At the press conference, Zhou Chen mainly talked about Xinghai Group investing 200 billion yuan to enter the computer industry, seeking partners, recruiting and other matters.

Not long after the press conference ended, the Xinghai Group's entry into the computer industry was quickly spread in the domestic media. Reports discussing this related topic were unprecedentedly hot, and even rushed to the trending searches, attracting attention from the outside world.

"Finally the day has come!"

"If the Xinghai Group develops a laptop computer, I will definitely support it and plan to buy one in the next year or two."

"I hope that Xinghai Group can develop a computer operating system. Using Weiruan's, there may be a back door."

Netizens discussed it intensely, and some felt that this was an opportunity to work for Xinghai Group.

Tens of thousands of people will be recruited within one or two years, more than half of which are social recruits. The requirements should be relaxed. If you miss it, it will be even more difficult to re-enter Xinghai Group.

In recent years, Xinghai Group has not recruited many scientific researchers.

...

Many netizens are looking forward to the Xinghai Group's computer coming out soon.

Some netizens originally planned to buy a new computer, but now Xinghai Group has announced its entry into the computer field, and decided to postpone the purchase of a new computer, so that the old computer will be used first.

Mr. Liu, when he heard the news that Xinghai Group had entered the computer field, his expression was very bad.

"This is preparing to kill everything!"

"200 billion yuan, what a generous sum!"

"Equivalent to the market value of two certain companies!"

After reading the report, Mr. Liu turned pale and panicked.

what to do?

No matter how much he dislikes Xinghai Group and Mu Yang, he is not stupid. He has to admit that Xinghai Group is a giant with world-leading scientific research. Not to mention their company, even international giants are crushed by this Xinghai Group.

Lithography machines, chips, civil aviation engines, etc., such difficult technologies to break through, have not been solved by Xinghai Group, they are technical fields that he can't even think about.

The Xinghai Group wants to enter the computer field and announces that the CPU will be independently developed, and other hardware will adopt a cooperative model. Of course, this is not a problem. It is estimated that even the operating system wants to be developed by itself.

A certain company has suffered a loss last year, and its revenue is getting worse year by year.

Mr. Liu had no choice but to bow his head, if this continued, he would definitely be doomed.

If someone wants to cooperate with Xinghai Group, they are responsible for the production, assembly, and marketing of the chassis, which may increase profits.

He knew the idea was naive, but he had to try.

See if there is any possibility of cooperation.

Or, they purchase the CPU of Xinghai Group, and Xinghai Group no longer plays the whole machine. In this case, they have one less competitor.

Sending an invitation letter to Xinghai Group, Mr. Liu wants to visit Zhou Chen, the president of Xinghai Group.

He knew that Mu Yang of the Xinghai Group had objections to him in the past, but he was also helpless. He didn't know how to do scientific research, and there was nothing wrong with marketing. The products were well made, and the quality was fine.

Now that Mu Yang is worth several trillion yuan, he should be forgotten about a small person like him.

Two hours after sending out the invitation, I received a report from the Xinghai Group's public relations department, replying that Zhou Chen, the company's president, was busy with work and had no time to meet him.

Refused!

Mr. Liu heard the feedback and knew that it was impossible to cooperate with Xinghai Group.

outside the window,

A gust of north wind blows, and the maple leaves rustle and fall.

Winter is coming!

...

At the same time,

Zhou Chen was having tea and chatting with Mu Yang in the chairman's office, just when a subordinate from the public relations department came to report to him, Mu Yang asked him to enter the room to report.

After listening, Zhou Chen directly refused.

Zhou Chen said a little speechlessly: "It's rare that Mr. Liu bowed his head to us. It seems that he is really scared."

"The willow branches on this willow tree have always been hanging down. They used to be facing the western countries. Now that they have recognized the situation, it is normal to bow their heads." Mu Yang smiled disapprovingly.

"Haha, that's true, you can't change your nature. I can't figure it out either. I just thought of cooperating with us until now. I can't figure out how to cooperate with this person. If I really want to cooperate, netizens all over the country will scold me to death." We are."

"Actually, I don't have any complaints about him.

It is absolutely unnecessary not to cooperate with a certain company. This is related to the development of our future artificial intelligence, and the computer industry can be regarded as an entry point. "Mu Yang didn't take it seriously, his mentality was completely different from the previous two or three years.

...

According to the information obtained from the press conference, Xinghai Group does not plan to purchase all parts.

Li Jianxi, the chairman of the Four Star Group, was also surprised by Xinghai Group's plan after hearing the news. He reconfirmed that this is good news, but it is also not very good news.

Four Star produces LCD screens, it would be great if it can cooperate with Xinghai Group;

Four Star also produces notebook computers, so it has a strong competitor.

No matter what, Li Jianxi still asked someone to send a visiting letter to Xinghai Group. He wanted to come to discuss with Zhou Chen in person.

They purchase Xinghai Group's mobile phone chips, which can be regarded as partners.

Not long after, Xinghai Group replied that the president was free and welcomed him.

There are many brands of computer LCD screens. In addition to the four-star brands, there are also well-known brands such as ACO, Philips, Huashuo, LG, and BenQ.

In 2004, ACO Group's LCD sales ranked first in the world, and 4.5 out of every 10 monitors in the Huaguo market were produced by AOC, ranking first in the Huaguo market for many years in a row.

However, this achievement has a lot to do with the cooperation with major shareholder Philips.

the next day,

January 6,

Li Jianxi led the team vigorously and boarded a private jet to fly to Hua Country H City.

Four-star has a very strong social status in the country, and ordinary people may have a relationship with four-star products and services throughout their lives.

In Li Jianxi's case, he can go abroad on the same day.

...

at the same time,

two hours later,

Atlantic West Coast,

Pingguo Company,

The current CEO of the company, Ku Ke, frowned when he heard about Xinghai Group's press conference.

This shit stirrer is about to start snatching other people's cakes again.

Xinghai Group's mobile phone chips have superior performance. Since they were sold to Huawei, VOVO, and four-star manufacturers, they have brought a lot of trouble to Pingguo Company.

The sales volume of Pingguo mobile phones has been seriously affected. It is estimated that it is only two-thirds of that before Xinghai Group released mobile phone chips, and it is declining every quarter.

Kuke had to implement a price reduction plan to increase sales, but sales still did not return to before.

For Pingguo Company, no price reduction plan has ever been implemented, which is not good for the company's brand.

However, he had no choice but to be oppressed to this point by the Xinghai Group.

Originally hoped that the Xinghai Group would stop tossing around in the mobile phone industry.

But unexpectedly, it turned the fire into the computer industry!

Mobile phone sales accounted for about 60% of the revenue structure, while computers and iPads accounted for about 25%.

Previously, Xinghai Group did not produce mobile phones in the mobile phone industry, but only sold mobile phone chips.

Now, when Xinghai Group enters the computer industry, it not only sells CPUs, but also sells finished computers.

According to Xinghai Group's previous low-key personality, it must have produced computer samples!

Otherwise, Xinghai Group would never announce the news.

The press conference is just a smokescreen!

Mu Yang is really cunning!

Oh, don't think we don't know about your birch plots.

Ku Ke hurriedly summoned the company's top management to discuss how to deal with Xinghai Group's entry into the computer industry.

During the meeting, the top executives of Pingguo Company gathered together.

Ku Ke said with a serious expression: "A very bad news, I guess you should have seen the news reports, Xinghai Group announced to enter the computer industry.

With Mu Yang's cunning and his secretive personality, the Xinghai Group must have developed a computer product, and it is probably just short of mass production.

In the past, I underestimated the company's competitors, but now it is not far from bankruptcy.

It can be said that in the future, Xinghai Group will be the biggest competitor of Pingguo Company. "

A senior officer asked heavily: "Is there no way we can restrict this Xinghai Group?"

The executive in charge of marketing said: "Xinghai Group doesn't have much presence in North America, just a Hummer company. Our market share in the southeast sub-market is getting smaller and smaller, especially in Huaguo, and Xinghai Group is a local company, which makes us fundamentally no way."

"In the past, our biggest competitor in the field of mobile phones was Four Star. Four Star began to purchase mobile phone chips from Xinghai Group in the middle of last year. Our market share in high-end mobile phones will become less and less."

We were in a meeting just now, and everyone just discussed for a while, when a call came to Kuke's mobile phone, he glanced at the incoming call on his mobile phone, and was a little confused, so he quickly picked it up.

"What's up?"

"...What! FU*K!"

After a while, Ku Ke hung up the phone. The other high-level executives didn't hear the content of Ku Ke's call clearly, so it probably wasn't a good thing.

"Four Star Group Chairman Li Jianxi just arrived in City H yesterday to visit the Xinghai Group executives. We don't know who to visit specifically, but in the future 01 will pick up people at the airport. It is probably either Mu Yang or Xinghai Group President Zhou Chen.

If the two companies deepen their cooperation, the situation will be very bad for us.

Four Star uses Xinghai Group's mobile phone chips, and Xinghai Group uses Four Star's components to assemble computers. We have to deal with two powerful enemies at the same time. Gentlemen, the situation is very bad! "

Ku Ke, who has always been prudent, has never been so panicked. The main reason is that the Xinghai Group is too terrifying. No matter what field, as long as he squeezes in, he will be the number one in the world. This makes people very desperate.

"Kuko, the news is pretty bad."

"With the situation of our company, it is impossible to cooperate with Xinghai Group, it will only be a competitor."

"We have to find a countermeasure, or else..."

The atmosphere in the conference room was oppressive, and the high-level executives racked their brains with frowns but could not think of a good way to deal with it.

After the meeting, Ku Ke felt that Guangpingguo Company was struggling to deal with Xinghai Group.

After some thought, a person quickly came to mind.

However, he hates this person more.

He is Pingguo's old opponent,

Great soft Bill!

That's right, in terms of laptops and desktop all-in-ones, Pingguo and Weisoft are competitors.

But now, a more powerful enemy appeared.

Ku Ke hesitated for a moment, but let go of his arrogance and called Bill.

After a while, the call was connected.

"Hehe, Kuke, I didn't expect you to call me." Bill was playing golf in his manor when a call came in suddenly. When he picked it up, it turned out to be his old opponent, Kuke, this arrogant guy.

"Bill, I don't want to call you either. I'm not begging you for anything." Hearing the teasing tone, Ku Ke just replied lightly.

"Then what do you mean?"

"Xinghai Group!"

"Oh, it's none of our business, do you want us to help you?"

"Bill, Xinghai Group held a press conference yesterday to enter the computer industry. Don't you know about this report?"

"I know one thing. It has nothing to do with us. I'm worried about you. Mobile phones and computers are your main business, and Xinghai Group is involved."

"Bill, are you underestimating the Xinghai Group? They have entered the computer industry, and they may have already developed an operating system."

Bill couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha, Kuke, you really know how to joke. I admit that the Xinghai Group is powerful, but it is not easy to develop a suitable operating system. Do you think Weisoft has more than 100,000 employees? What is it for? Even if the Xinghai Group is rich, how can he recruit so many engineers."

Bill didn't underestimate Xinghai Group, but he attached great importance to it. He just didn't want to appear scared during the conversation with Ku Ke.

For Bill, even if it is not Xinghai Group, as long as it is a competitor, he will pay attention to it.

"Xinghai Group has always been low-key in its work. Have you ever seen Xinghai Group announce it in advance for EBL lithography machines, chips, and civil aviation engines? This was forced out by our country. Once it is exposed, it will be a finished product, which embarrasses the relevant departments twice.

Like you said, the Xinghai Group will not develop AD software, lithography machines, chips and other products for a long time, and they only have a few scientific researchers. "

Cook's words made Bill silent.

He has studied the development of the Xinghai Group, and the more he understands, the more he is shocked, just like a cheat in a novel.

Mu Yang is a person who does things very strangely, and he can't see through them.

"How do you want to deal with Xinghai Group?"

Ku Ke said: "To be honest, I don't have any good solution. I hope that both of us can deal with it together."

"Well, I'll have an internal meeting first, and then we'll make an appointment to meet and discuss." Bill thought for a while, he needed to discuss it with the company's senior management first.

"OK!"
