Chapter 2990 Feng Yiping, Who Speaks in a Hollow Voice
In Los Gatos, Feng Yiping stayed alone in the house, watching the laughter outside with some caution, as if he was ashamed to see others.
He didn't actually do anything shameful, but when he received a call from his fellow villager, he still lowered his voice, "Hello, Director Sun,"
Perhaps because of the delicateness of a woman, Director Sun immediately heard the happiness in Feng Yiping's words.
Happy?
This made Director Sun, who is now responsible for the external coordination of the largest communication equipment company in China and the second largest in the world, feel abnormal for a moment. This is not right!
Logically, he should not have this reaction now.
Could it be that he is really completely immersed in the joy of acquiring Motorola and progressing smoothly?
This is not right either. With Director Sun's understanding of Feng Yiping, she knows very well that Feng Yiping has always been very considerate of people's feelings, whether in the past or now, and will not show such inappropriate emotions at this time, when talking to her.
Mr. Sun actually thought too much, or rather, because of Feng Yiping's status and strength, his words and deeds, including some inadvertent words and deeds, will inevitably be interpreted very seriously by many people.
The reason why Feng Yiping was a little happy at this time was very simple, that is, it was just because he received a call from Mr. Sun at this time, which happened to make him who was alone in the house no longer so lonely.
"Mr. Sun, I think I fully understand your concern. I can tell you clearly that Android has no plans to get involved in the production of smartphones at least at present,"
Mr. Sun was relieved immediately after hearing this, which is exactly what they are very concerned about.
Of course, they also welcome competition, but frankly speaking, after hearing this news, no one of the relevant people can relax.
This is not simply to say that someone's name is a shadow of a tree. Objectively speaking, in terms of smartphones, Feng Yiping's company really has advantages that all current smartphone companies do not have.
They already have an operating system that occupies a monopoly position like Android, and have CPU, memory and flash memory chips, as well as other key accessories. In addition, Feng Yiping, who can do whatever he wants, really has all-round advantages.
Even Samsung, which domestic companies are trying to catch up with, is completely incomparable.
Although Samsung also controls several key links in the smartphone supply chain, they do not have a popular operating system; they do not have such a huge market as China; Samsung's head is certainly powerful, but compared with Feng Yiping, it is really not on the same level, so it does not have the appeal of Feng Yiping, or more specifically, the ability to bring goods. This can be said to be connected to the previous point. The vast number of users in the Chinese market will definitely warmly welcome Feng Yiping's company to launch its own smartphones...
Perhaps Apple, which has a first-mover advantage and has always had outstanding designs, will be his real opponent, but considering the unoptimistic physical condition of Apple's soul figure Steve Jobs... It is difficult to say what the future will be like.
Feng Yiping further explained, "The reason for adding a restriction is that I and others have also explained that we will not produce mobile phones at present, but if in the future, when the development of smartphone hardware stagnates or is not satisfactory, it is not ruled out that we will make some efforts in this regard,"
Mr. Sun immediately said, "I understand, I understand very much! Android does have a certain responsibility for the development of smartphones," - this is similar to the principle of "the more capable, the more work."
"Thank you for your understanding. Just like when we first contacted Motorola, for some reasons, it was difficult to inform you and other partners. Now I can only tell you that we will have proper arrangements for Motorola's hardware assets."
Mr. Sun felt that he should say that he understood again, "We also understand this very well. Such a critical matter must be kept strictly confidential in advance."
A very simple example, if Feng Yiping informed everyone of this plan in advance, not to mention other things, just Samsung, who can guarantee that he would not tip off Microsoft, Apple, and other possible opponents?
But in Feng Yiping's mind, it is not just Samsung that needs to be guarded against. Domestic manufacturers are not all reliable. Who knows what choices everyone will make in the face of interests?
Besides, he really does not need to inform everyone of the relevant news in advance, as if their decision still needs their approval.
"I believe you can imagine that similar news is only known to a few people in my company," Feng Yiping said here, looking out the window, thinking that he should have made it very clear, and it was time to end the call.
Because he knew that with his current status, if he said such words, Mr. Sun would definitely be convinced, but he didn't expect that Mr. Sun would have something to say, "Mr. Feng, is there any misunderstanding here?"
"We saw that the leaders of your province just publicly stated at the conference that a world-class smartphone production line will soon be established in your hometown."
Originally, after Feng Yiping explained so much, Mr. Sun could have not asked this question, because she also knew that Feng Yiping had the most comprehensive grasp of the relevant situation. In terms of credibility, sorry, Feng Yiping's words would really be higher.
The problem is that Mr. Sun has always felt that Feng Yiping's tone during this call was quite empty, and it has always been very empty - she is thinking too much again.
It was just that his voice was lighter when he spoke, not empty.
As for why his voice was relatively soft, it was because, for some reason, Feng Yiping didn't want others to hear him.
"Haha," Feng Yiping laughed, "I can tell you clearly once again that it was a misjudgment by the relevant parties, and I think you, Sun Dong, will understand the other meanings of these words,"
After thinking about it for a while, Director Sun understood what Feng Yiping meant, "I understand, Mr. Feng, thank you for your explanation. I won't waste your time anymore."
As the chairman responsible for coordinating external relations, Sun Dong knows very well that the purpose of local leaders saying such things before the matter has been finalized is to create the illusion of established facts and gain an upper hand in winning related projects. That’s all.
"Goodbye," Feng Yiping still said goodbye to her softly. He glanced at the missed call, then looked out the window, thought for a while, and pulled out Cook's phone.
"Hi Feng," Cook's voice sounded a little surprised. He didn't expect that Feng Yiping would call him personally at this time.
"Tim, originally I wanted to call Steve, but looking at the time, I'd better tell you first. As before, we still have no plans to get involved in smartphone production,"
Cook pondered for a moment, "Although it is Android's freedom to produce or not to produce, Feng, since you mentioned this, can I ask, how do you plan to arrange Motorola's assets other than patents?"
Feng Yiping immediately said, "We will make appropriate arrangements."
"I hope my words can dispel your doubts,"
"Yes Feng, I fully believe in your promise," Cook finally felt able to lean back in his chair and relax, "I also wish you a smooth acquisition of Motorola,"
Although these words were empty, he believed that Feng Yiping would not call him specifically to lie to him.
"Can I understand that Apple has no intention of bidding for Motorola?"
Cook said to himself, I knew that when you called me, it would not just be as simple as reassuring me, "Yes, at least we don't have such a plan at the moment,"
Feng Yiping smiled when he heard this promise that was the same as his own, "Can I believe what you said Tim?"
"Feng, you can completely believe it,"
It’s not that Cook has never thought about it, but after detailed analysis, he felt that it was better not to join in the fun.
The analysis results show that Feng Yiping has more than one purpose in planning to acquire Motorola. If Apple chooses to interfere, Feng Yiping will definitely think that Apple plans to cooperate with his company in multiple fields, not just in the field of mobile communications. Start competing.
At any other time, this would have been fine, but now, alas, Apple is in troubled times!
At a time like this, it is not a wise move to turn someone like Feng Yiping who could have been a partner and helper into an opponent—and maybe even Google.
"Well, I wish you a happy day," Feng Yiping, who got the desired result, ended the call happily.
"I wish you a happy day," Cook said as he hung up the phone. When reviewing the call, he later realized something was wrong. Why did Feng's words sound a little hollow today?
