Chapter 429 The Importance of Public Opinion

Pingguo has been playing both sides in recent years, holding high the banner of environmental protection, with the system on the left and the ecology on the right. It has occupied the top sales list of Daxia's smartphone market for several consecutive years. Even Jiaolong Mobile and Xiawei Mobile, limited by chip production capacity and R&D and manufacturing costs, cannot beat Pingguo's market position in a short time.

This is still Pingguo's friendly situation to Daxia. If Pingguo really starts to make trouble, he is very reluctant to see Daxia angry.

It's not that he is not confident in the company's media publicity and promotion capabilities.

Although Pingguo's media empire is not well-known, its revenue from applications, games, entertainment, software and books has been more than 20 billion US dollars a year since ten years ago.

This is just profit, and there is also a huge group of Pingguo users. Once it starts to push all-out efforts, it will almost be a global public opinion offensive on the entire platform.

In addition, Pingguo has also acquired platforms and entertainment companies such as Texture. Pingguo's video business has long entered the film industry, purchasing copyrights and distribution rights, and even has its own TV shows.

But facing the problem of his own butt seat, Cook still wants to fight for it again.

He sorted out his thoughts, faced the other party's pressing eyes, and said: "At this time last year, the relevant departments of Daxia required that all software launched on Pingguo mobile phones must comply with the "Daxia District Version Number Regulations". If there are still software that does not comply with the regulations after the expiration of our application market, we will be punished.

At that time, for the sake of the market and cooperation with relevant departments, our application store removed more than 40,000 applications, of which the most profitable game section had the most applications removed, up to 30,000. This alone caused us a loss of 7 billion. And this is only the loss on the day the regulations were issued. As time goes by, this figure has expanded to 13 billion.

Perhaps you don't know that in fact, as early as a few years ago, Daxia required mobile phone companies to comply with Daxia's version number regulations. Many mobile phone manufacturers strictly abide by the regulations. As long as the applications listed in its store have passed the relevant review and certification, only our application store is free.

This loss came very late because the relevant departments of Daxia considered the particularity of our company, so they gave certain special treatments. If we provoke again and again, I think these treatments will disappear soon."

Cook's words did not impress the other party at all.

Even the latter said something revealing: "We are already working on transferring all the industrial lines to India and Vietnam, where there are cheaper labor and more obedient positive and negative people. Our largest foundry, Foxconn, has also built a new factory in India.

I know you are considering the huge market of Daxia, but have you ever thought that the cost of our production in Daxia is no longer the same as it was ten years ago. Today's India, like Daxia at that time, not only has extremely cheap labor, but also has a huge dividend and market of more than one billion people, and India has introduced more preferential policies to attract foreign investment. Believe me, they are more sincere than Daxia."

Sincerity?

If Cook hadn't known that the other party's family had cultivated white gloves in India in the last century, he wouldn't have said such empty nonsense.

But even so, he didn't have too much expectation for Pingguo to transfer the production focus and market cultivation to India. It was really the local population quality and backward and divided society that made it impossible for him to compare it with Daxia twenty years ago.

At least Daxia twenty years ago had a stable society, simple folk customs and love of labor, and would work hard as long as they were paid.

India↑↓ is now completely unbearable due to the extortion and "cultivation" of religion, upper-class elites and white-glove spokespersons.

With a population of more than one billion, more than half of them are illiterate or hooligans. The factories built by Pingguo and Foxconn with money have problems almost every month, seriously delaying production.

But what can we do?

However, the cunning Cook thought of another plan.

"If only Pingguo does this, it would be too unwise. We should work with TSMC, Hanxing and even Qualcomm to do it. There are problems with chip shortages, metaverse, and mobile phone component suppliers..."

As Cook spoke more and more, the eyes of the hooked nose became more and more satisfied.

As long as the goal is achieved, why bother with any method?

So after some discussion, Pingguo contacted TSMC, which it had not seen for a long time, and then shareholders contacted Qualcomm and Hanxing.

Perhaps it was like-minded, or perhaps it was the greed of everyone for the market, and a small plan came out.

Among them, Hanxing was the most active.

As an old white-eyed dog and an old good boy, Han Xing's mobile phone project has been in a slump due to the accident last year, and he is eager for a chance to make a comeback, so he is obliged to take the lead.

Han Xing's Galaxy Z series will hold a new product online conference in Daxia.

The news squeezed into the top of the hot search list, and then promoted all the way to the top of the list, and the topic brought by this news also had a lot of discussion on platforms such as Jiuzhou Community.

After all, this is the new king of Han Xing·JPG

Of course, this is also the real ability of Korean stars who have endured humiliation for so long. There are many contents in this news, such as the protagonists of the press conference are two folding screen mobile phones, their names are Korean star Galaxy Z Flip3 and Korean star Galaxy Z Flod3. And the appearance design and hardware parameters of these two new phones are updated on the official website simultaneously, but the prices of each version and region have not been announced.

People who originally wanted to watch the fun immediately changed from watching jokes to waiting for surprises when they saw that it was a folding screen mobile phone.

Because compared with the previous generation, these two models have brought a lot of surprises in addition to performance upgrades. Both support IPX8 waterproof level, which is the first folding screen mobile phone that supports waterproof function.

Moreover, the internal screen is upgraded to 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and there are even rumors that the price will drop sharply, even within 6,000 yuan.

And within a few hours of this melon coming out, Google threw out another melon.

Google also has a new mobile phone! And Google scheduled the new product launch conference on September 20th. I don’t know if it is intentional or coincidental. This time is four days earlier than the official release of Pingguo 13.

Google's new phone is called Google Pixel 6. There are many highlights in this series, such as Google's self-developed processor. The official claims that the Pixel 6 series is the fastest, smartest and safest Pixel phone to date. The stacking also gives high-end configurations.

Pixel 6 Pro rear 50 million main camera + 48 million telephoto + 12 million ultra-wide-angle triple camera combination.

In fact, in previous years, Google also sold mobile phones, but it would not promote them so loudly in Daxia. After all, its butt is not clean, but this time it also has the idea of ​​​​fishing in troubled waters and making more money.

In addition, TSMC actually got involved.

PS: Some things have always been done by someone.

This article is parallel to time and space, and the butterfly's wings are big, so there will be some minor adjustments in time.
