Chapter 711 Great Power Game Track!
[I thought about a question a long time ago, that is, what should I do...]
[At first, it was for tuition. I believe that friends who knew me in the early days know that I used to carry a bag and a notebook every day, wandering around various communities, selling our [integrated stoves]...]
[During that time, I almost ran through the streets and alleys of Yanjing, and I ran through almost all the communities that could be named...]
[I miss the life at that time. Although I didn’t have a penny in my pocket at that time, I didn’t need to think too much, I just needed to run business to make money...]
[Later, I still did it to make money, to make money to pay off debts...]
[I I have no parents, relatives or friends, but living in this world, people always have to do something and challenge their own limits, so I want to be a clean person...】
[Be a person who deserves everyone and myself...】
[Fortunately, I have used some clever tricks to attract people's attention, and God has also favored me...】
[During this debt repayment journey, I gradually met many like-minded colleagues. We suffered together, talked about dreams together, and worked hard together... With the joint efforts and perseverance of everyone, we have overcome one difficulty after another, and we are united as one. I, we have all done it! 】
【After paying off the debt, my ambition began to swell again. I felt that I should be a leader, so I wanted to lead more people to make money. During this period, we had companies such as [Qiangsheng Online Mall], [Jitu Video], and [Fengchao Jisong]. We even had [WeChat] and our own payment system. We were still very united. We defeated [WeChat] and became the first】
【During this period, I was immersed in pride and complacency. I even felt that I was the king of the world】
【Everyone wanted to cooperate with me, everyone trusted me, and as long as I wanted, I could make money lying down every day】
【At first, I wanted to release our [Apple 5] when the iPhone 5 was released, and continue to use clever tricks to compete with the iPhone 5...】
【But...】
【The iPhone 5 launch conference woke me up completely! 】
【……】
Ministry of Commerce.
Early morning.
The new director Yuan Gang sat in the office.
In 2012, the relationship between the United States and China became more and more subtle.
This subtlety is in a very strange stage. Everyone is in a competitive relationship with each other, but also in a cooperative relationship.
At the same time, in the field of various new energy sources, the Americans are suppressing China through various channels without leaving any room.
Just yesterday, Yuan Gang received a message.
The Americans began to implement anti-subsidy measures against China's photovoltaic industry, and finally decided to impose high anti-dumping duties on imported Chinese photovoltaic products. In addition, the European Union also implemented a formal anti-dumping investigation on Chinese photovoltaic products, and India also followed the European Union to take corresponding anti-dumping measures against Chinese photovoltaic products...
After experiencing the financial crisis, China's photovoltaic industry has once again encountered a new round of industrial winter at this moment.
In the face of these problems, Chinese companies can only face the positive direction.
[Actively face the investigation and cooperate with relevant departments to provide relevant data], [Transform and upgrade, seek and open up new markets], [Expand overseas markets in new regions, such as Brazil, South America, and Africa].
Although the tone has been set, Yuan Gang still feels some pressure from overseas, and is more aware that in the next few years, the suppression of Chinese industries by the United States is likely to gradually escalate.
Just as Yuan Gang was thinking deeply, he saw a pop-up window.
Then, the pop-up window was an [internal letter].
As we all know, the so-called [internal letter] of a company is actually the least secret letter.
It is often leaked in various forms, and then appears in major media openly, making countless people talk about it.
In the past, internal letters were mainly used to inspire morale, unify thoughts, imagine the future, and give employees a clear direction.
However, Zhang Sheng's internal letter made Yuan Gang fall into deep thought.
This letter was written very sincerely, so sincerely that Zhang Sheng put himself in an extremely humble position, and even called everything he had done before as [small tricks that can't be put on the big stage].
[Operating system? [iPhone] has IOS, Google has Android, Microsoft has Windows...]
[And what about us [Apple]? ]
[What do we have? 】
【We have nothing...】
【We use open source Android. In terms of the Android system, no, not in terms of the system, we simply use the Android system directly...】
【Our mobile phone screens? 】
【Although I don't want to admit it, the world's best mobile phone screens are recognized by Samsung, Sharp, and LG. They are all Korean companies. Our excellent Chinese companies also have them. The company we have been cooperating with is [Weixin]. Our iPhone 5 also provides the latest screen, but... I'm sorry, Mr. Shi, even if you want to scold me, hit me, or even beat me, I have to say that we are not as good as others... Our best screen is still several generations behind theirs...】
【...】
[Besides the screen, what else do we have? Batteries, we use our own batteries [Bosch Technology] lithium batteries, which is my own industry, but today, I also want to say something bad about our own industry. Our [Bosch Technology] battery technology is still a certain distance away from [Dening Times]'s battery technology. Of course, at present, our batteries and [Dening Times]'s batteries are completely different from those of Panasonic, Samsung, and [IPO Technology]. The iPhone 5 can achieve 7.6 mm thickness, and our thickness can also be achieved, but we sacrificed a part of the battery life to achieve this...]
[...]
[Chips, the most important component of mobile phones, are recognized as the best suppliers by Samsung, Qualcomm, and Texas Instruments...]
[Do we have them? We don't, we have nothing...]
[...]
[From cameras to memory, from batteries to power plugs, from resistors to other components, I am not exaggerating to say that our [Apple] is inferior to others in everything, and most of them rely on overseas supply... Even various core components, we are completely monopolized by overseas! ]
[What can we do? We can only be a shell...]
[So, when Lao Ma told me that he couldn't get the S5 processor from [American Changkong] Group and the other party could only supply the long-obsolete S4, I didn't feel surprised...]
[When Lao Ma begged [American Changkong] Company at all humiliating costs, like kneeling in front of the other party, begging like a beggar, I was still not surprised...]
[Before, I was dreaming, dreaming that I could completely beat the iPhone 5 in terms of sales with some tricks and small means...]
[I also dreamed that one day, our so-called [Apple] could become a world-famous technology company like [IPO Technology] just by relying on marketing...]
[...]
[But now, my dream is awake, it's time for us to face the cruel reality! ]
[...]
In the office of the Ministry of Commerce.
Yuan Gang looked at this [internal letter].
He only felt a slight tremor in his heart, and a feeling that he wanted to say but couldn't say lingered in his body.
After a long time, he became particularly heavy again. He stood up and looked at the sky outside the window silently.
The sky was still clear, but there was always a layer of hazy fog.
"He is very sober!"
"But..."
"Too sober, too sober people often have to endure greater pain!"
"..."
……………………………………
[We missed two industrial revolutions. This time, we ushered in the third revolution, and this time, it is the information revolution, the information revolution is not just the Internet...]
[I know some people will say that I am too sensitive and too worried. In the era of globalization, it is impossible to make progress if you take on everything...]
[Some people say that if you lag behind, you will be beaten. This only applies to the old society. Now it is the era of globalization. If you lag behind, we can just buy what we have from each other. Why should we be beaten? 】
【……】
【I say, these are all bullshit. We are now in a peaceful country, but peace is the result of our predecessors’ repeated transcendence, breakthroughs and sacrifices. The direction of the new great power game has changed. It is not only about economy, but also about technology, thought, culture, and all aspects of the game! 】
【……】
【Okay! 】
【Next, I announce that I will take out 2 billion and invest in the research and development of more core technologies】
【2 billion is really a small amount of money. I am not sure if I will be regarded as a fool, and I am even more uncertain if these 2 billion RMB will become a joke all of a sudden...】
【R&D, technology, will always be a long war. Maybe, in this war, I will fall, and all my industries will be swallowed up and acquired...】
【And I will once again become that poor boy with nothing, even heavily in debt...】
【But, it doesn’t matter. I have made plans for the worst. 】
【This time, I want to try again. Before I have a breath left and fall, I will try again...】
【...】
At noon.
A guard silently handed this [internal letter] news to a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man silently read the letter.
After reading it, he was deeply touched.
"There are not many young people who are not addicted to money, not addicted to pleasure, have a big heart, and have a sense of responsibility as a big country, who can stay sober and stand up straight..."
"Very good."
He said this.
After saying this, his eyes silently looked into the distance.
The distance was hazy.
"This [internal letter], do we want to..."
The middle-aged man was silent, just looking ahead, without saying a word.
