Chapter 371: Respond in advance
After neither party responded, the news faded. It's just that some institutions are still conducting investigations and research in this area, and they all want to know the real thoughts of the two. After all, if the Morgan family and Bao Zixuan are really combined, the threat is too great, and the Rockefeller family is a little worried.
After learning from Rachel Morgan that the U.S. Department of Commerce was going to investigate the black cloud, Bao Zixuan was ready to lay out in advance. This time he chose to avoid its edge, and he could only back down. It is better than IBM, an enterprise with deep roots in the United States, who has to bear it very hard in the face of the investigation of the Ministry of Commerce, and he, an outsider with no foundation, can bear it.
At this time, all the product systems of Heiyun can constitute a monopoly only games, toys, animation products, and other electronic products such as mobile phones, computers, walkmans and other electronic products have many companies to compete with them, which is also the reason why Bao Zixuan has authorized many patents. Everyone wants to eat alone and dominate the market, but if you really dare to do this, you will be poisoned sooner or later.
Black cloud software is a closed ecosystem and will only be installed on computers produced by itself. Moreover, many application software has been licensed in advance, and now Microsoft has the highest market share in the software industry. Fortunately, Bao Zixuan is also a major shareholder of Microsoft and can achieve a certain balance.
Because of the existence of Motorola, the market share of mobile phones is high, but it is not so obvious, and many authorized companies are also stepping up research and development of their own mobile phones. As long as the black cloud maintains its technological advantage, there is no problem, and the ideal state is to let other enterprises only catch up.
Although the sales of large-scale industrial computers are good, no one dares to guarantee that they are stronger than each other in the current competition with IBM. Heiyunsheng in the design of novel and superb performance, IBM since there is no constraint can devote itself to the upgrading of old products, plus so many years of accumulated customer groups, can be equal to Heiyun.
Household appliances have never been the strong point of Heiyun, and there is no possibility of anti-monopoly at all. If the monopoly is also the monopoly of the market by Japanese companies, the sales volume of Heiyun household appliances is still far behind that of Japanese companies.
The memory chip industry is also a competition between Japanese companies, American companies, and black clouds, and no one can say that they occupy the initiative in the market.
Compared with traditional cameras, there are not many people who use digital cameras, after all, this thing still needs a computer to cooperate with it to achieve the best effect, and the financial resources of ordinary people are not up to the requirements.
Although Heiyun Automobile's market share is expanding, it is still far from the anti-monopoly red line. At this time, it has attracted the attention of major car companies in the world, mainly because the models and engines provided by Bao Zixuan are too good. Anti-monopoly investigations in the automotive industry are only aimed at low-end dumped vehicles, and luxury car companies are basically non-existent, and it is difficult for any car company to dominate the world.
As for lithography machines and CNC machine tools, most of them use or carry out technical reserves, and they are not deliberately promoted in the market, and the users are basically large enterprises, and there is no monopoly.
Now the most troublesome thing is the toy, game, animation industry, although these in the Black Cloud Group revenue accounted for a gradual decrease. But it's just that for Black Cloud, such a high sales volume compared to any company cannot be ignored.
Bao Zixuan knows that even the slightest problem with the urine nature of the U.S. commercial department will be infinitely magnified. Since the start of the deep-sea toy factory, with the rise of the baby machine, the deep-sea factory has been overloaded, even if the expansion of the production capacity is still unable to meet the market demand. For horrific sales, the salaries and operating costs of employees in mainland China are almost negligible. There was already a trend of dumping and monopolies in the market, which had to be addressed now.
Black cloud toys such as Transformers, Lego bricks, and Rubik's cubes have no rivals in the United States, mainly because there are almost no similar products. Now we can only give up part of the benefits and cooperate with local manufacturers to license some products.
Black Cloud Game Company, due to the presence of the two great gods of Yokoi Junhei and Miyamoto Shigeru, is combining Bao Zixuan's advanced ideas. This makes both hardware and software dominate the market. The playability of the game is too high, and the Black Cloud game console can only play the game developed by the Black Cloud itself or as an exclusive agent, and now it seems that the time has come to open the port.
The animation industry has Bao Zixuan's advanced ideas, Miyazaki's genius design and unlimited personality charm, and massive capital investment makes it impossible to have an opponent in the market who can fight, and now it seems that it must be changed, otherwise it will be more troublesome to sue you for cultural monopoly.
Thinking that the US Department of Commerce will not give the black cloud too long, it is possible that the materials are already being collected now. At present, we can only speed up the progress and give up the benefits, which is equivalent to giving money to others for nothing, and I feel very uncomfortable.
Bao Zixuan's first step is to put on the shelves the animation characters of other companies around the world, so that it can enter the internal market of the claw machine and give consumers more choices. At the same time, the supply price of Black Cloud anime characters will be increased and the supply quantity will be reduced. As a result, the sales of Black Cloud anime characters began to decline, but the profits did not decrease. Moreover, Bao Zixuan is not ready to increase investment in this labor-intensive industry, and the production chain is too low-end.
Transformers, Legos, Rubik's Cube and other toys Hasbro has always wanted to get the license to produce it by itself! Then give it to him, I didn't give it before because I didn't hear that the Ministry of Commerce was preparing to investigate the black cloud, but now I have to be more careful.
Hasbro, a famous American toy company. Founded in 1923 in Rhode Island, USA, by brothers Henry and Helal Hassenfeld, the name is derived from the abbreviation of Hassenfeld Brothers. The company started out as a stationery tool for pencil cases and other stationery, and later acquired Playskool. In 1935, Hasbro made its fortune with Monopoly games and gradually became a world-class toy company. The company has many well-known brands such as My Little Pony, Transformers, Special Forces, and Star Wars.
In the past life, Transformers were Hasbro's flagship product, and now they are just back in their hands. Heiyun will not only compete with them in the market, but also get a considerable patent licensing fee, and get a profit share for every product sold.
The CEO of Hasbro was still blindsided until the negotiator of Black Cloud left, and the patent authorization that he couldn't get with all his effort before was actually done with a random fax this time. Be sure to reward that intern, she could be the lucky star of the company.
Every once in a while, Hasbro will send a request to Black Cloud to authorize the production of Transformers, Lego bricks, and Rubik's Cubes, and Black Cloud itself has enough production capacity, and there is no shortage of money. Isn't it good to occupy the market on your own? Over time, Hasbro has almost died. However, just in time for graduation season, a new employee is arranged by an old employee to send an authorization request to Heiyun, and everyone knows that it will be rejected.
But no one expected that Bao Zixuan would suddenly change his personality and directly arrange for someone to connect with Hasbro to facilitate this matter. In this way, it directly cheapened this newly hired intern. not only turned into a regular directly, but also became the top boss of the old employee who played him, and many people really couldn't envy him.
Game consoles and game buns are arranged for Yokoi Junhei and Shigeru Miyamoto to open all ports. That is to say, in the future, Black Cloud's game consoles will be able to play games from other companies, and game consoles produced by other companies will also be able to run Black Cloud's game cartridges. Although the two of them didn't understand, they still carried out the boss's orders.
This made the game industry hot all of a sudden, which is a good thing for everyone. However, it is not necessarily for the black clouds, they already occupy an absolute advantage, and those who love games can not play Sony and Nintendo games. But as long as you like games, there is no one who does not play games produced by Black Cloud. Bao Zixuan's move rejuvenated the originally declining Nintendo, and this wave of operations made Akio Morita and Hiroshi Yamauchi feel a little confused.
Animation industry Bao Zixuan thought about not providing Miyazaki with any ideas in the short term, and then asked him to reduce the size of the animation staff at the headquarters. Support animators to start their own businesses, and everyone goes out to break through. Black Cloud Animation can provide financial, technical and other support, but it only requires you to pay a small amount of shares. To a certain extent, this will make many anime characters not completely belong to Heiyun, and there is no such thing as monopoly culture.
Bao Zixuan is a vigorous and resolute person, and he completed everything he wanted to do in less than half a month. So that many insiders can't understand the operation of this young rich man, is it the discovery of conscience that allows everyone to make money together. I was still stimulated by something, and it became abnormal.
After the black clouds took care of the matter, Howard Malcolm Podolich, the secretary of the U.S. Department of Commerce, who was far away in Washington, was furious with his men. Who leaked the information, we must find out this inner ghost. Otherwise, Bao Zixuan would not have done things so beautifully, and the water was not revealed, so that people could not find a little fault.
Parliamentary Officer Robert Adam Mosbach said: "Your Excellency, is there still a need to launch an antitrust investigation into the black cloud?"
Howard Malcolm Portolich said in an airlike manner: "What else is investigating, is it a joke for people to see." You and I both know that Bao Zixuan has financial resources, and there is evidence that does not necessarily win the lawsuit, not to mention that there is no evidence and market feedback that Heiyun has monopolistic behavior. However, this time someone must have leaked the information in advance, launched an investigation into all insiders in the Ministry of Commerce, and asked the FBI to assist if necessary. There is an old saying in China that money can make ghosts grind, and the last thing that Heiyun lacks is money. This time, we must catch the inner ghost, otherwise we will not be at peace in the future. ”
W-Morgan looked at Bao Zixuan's wave of pretentiousness and knew that it must be the information that his daughter had leaked to him, and it seemed that his daughter had made a choice.
Bao Zixuan didn't know that he could be said to have escaped this time, if the response was not so fast, then it would be endless anti-monopoly lawsuits, and there would definitely be trouble at that time.
