Chapter 264: Lock Them in a Cage!

In the following time, Meng Xiaobai and Pan Yu went to negotiate with other telecom operators in the island country and signed several cooperation contracts.

As a result, several telecom operators in island countries, including NTT and SoftBank Telecom, immediately spread the news that Mars smartphones will be sold in island countries at the beginning of next year!

Domestic consumers are not very concerned about this kind of news, but their peers in the mobile phone industry are extremely concerned.

"The smartphone market in the island country is relatively mature, and they are used to the products of Apple and Samsung, and none of our domestic brands can enter the island country. "Rice technology, Tian Bing has some expectations for this, "I don't know how far the Mars mobile phone can go." ”

"I'm afraid that we will still sink into the sand!" commented the senior vice president of the mobile phone business of Rice Technology, "The island nation has always been the territory of American manufacturers, and this time, Deep Space Technology has reached out to their territory." First of all, those American manufacturers will not allow it, and Samsung's sales in the island country are also good. Manufacturers from the island nation will not welcome them either. ”

"That's why it's interesting. Tian Bing was interested, "I have a hunch that something big will happen soon!"

……

"They are in such a hurry!" Fan Lianfeng, president of the mobile phone business of Huawei Technology Co., Ltd., sighed when he saw the report.

"Mr. Fan, are you optimistic about this matter?" the assistant said curiously.

"It's not just not optimistic, I dare to conclude that deep space technology has already encountered the warning line of foreign capitalists this time to explore the island market! Their tentacles will soon be cut off by foreign manufacturers!" Fan Lianfeng thought of the scenery of Huawei mobile phones in the overseas market before, but after foreign manufacturers made a move, Huawei mobile phones died directly overseas, and now most of the sales come from China.

"If they are patient for another three or five years, they may still be able to compete. But now ......" Fan Lianfeng said in a low voice, "they are too carried away, the core technology of the mobile phone industry is still in the hands of opponents!"

……

Apple Spacecraft Headquarters, California, USA.

At the same time, Kuco saw the news that the Martian smartphone was going to enter the island market, and his eyes were fixed on a data sheet on an Apple laptop.

According to Apple's report in Greater China, Apple's revenue in the Greater China market fell by five percentage points again last month, and mobile phone sales were even worse than before, relying on software services to support revenue.

Obviously, the rise of Mars smartphones or deep space technology has greatly damaged Apple's profits in Greater China, and it has reached the point where it has to be taken seriously.

They have not yet found a way to curb deep space technology in the Huaxia market, and now deep space technology actually wants to invade their territory, the island market! This is absolutely intolerable!

As a developed country with a population of more than 100 million, the island country has a huge market size, and Apple is the absolute king of this market, and it must take tougher measures!

"Call inform, all executives, conference room meeting in two hours!" Kuko commanded into his assistant's phone.

……

The same is the headquarters of Qualcomm in San Diego, California, USA.

This is a world-renowned technology company, with more than 30,000 employees all over the world, 3G, 4G, 5G technology leading technology giants, their business, involving all the world's telecommunications equipment and consumer electronics equipment brands!

In Huaxia, no consumer electronics company can leave Qualcomm, because when you open their products, almost all of the telecommunications equipment and smart chips in them are Qualcomm products.

Although Birch Technology Co., Ltd. has also done well in recent years, it is still much weaker in front of the powerful Qualcomm company.

Even Deep Space Technology, a variety of its smart home appliances and all smartphones use Qualcomm's smart chips and some telecommunications equipment.

Paul Jerry, the current CEO of Qualcomm's president's office, was talking to someone on the phone, and he was talking to a well-known tycoon in the American capital industry and one of the directors of Qualcomm Group.

"We must curb the development of deep space technology!" the voice on the phone was unquestionable, "their existence has seriously affected our interests in the Asian region." ”

"We've gained a lot as well. "Deep Space Technology uses a lot of our products and technologies, and for every phone they sell, they have a part of us." This year, because of deep space technology, our profits in the Huaxia market have increased by 20%!"

"It's not enough, we need more!" said the other party, "this company is investing heavily in R&D and wants to get rid of us." For the sake of the long term, it's time to give them some restrictions. Deep space technology has grown into a tiger, then we have to make an iron cage and keep this tiger in a cage!"

"Let them know that only if we feed them, they will eat, and if we don't give it, they can't grab it!"

Paul Jerry hesitated and said, "Doing so could damage Qualcomm's reputation." ”

"Jerry, this is everyone's decision!" the man said sternly, "As for credibility, whoever has money and technology has credibility!"

"I see. Paul Jerry knew that the person on the other end of the line was just passing on a directive to him. These big capitalists have been in business for many years, and they can take a longer view, and they can make money in deep space technology now, but maybe in the future.

So in order to maintain a monopoly position all the time, this little flame must be extinguished!

……

When Meng Xiaobai returned to China, it was already October. Most of the half a year flies, last year, several major projects invested in the construction of deep space science and technology, this time was basically completed, and now most of the resources have been transferred to the construction of the Blue Star Automobile Super Factory.

Yangcheng, Baiyun International Airport.

As soon as Meng Xiaobai arrived at the pick-up hall, he saw Gao Yuan, who had been waiting for a long time.

The weather in Yangcheng in October is still very hot, Gao Yuan is wearing a cool light-colored top, it seems that because of the plump figure, the clothes are much more three-dimensional. High-waisted A-line denim, tied with a willow waist without a trace of fat, and a pair of snow-white and flawless long legs, even if there is no decoration, it is enough to attract the attention of tourists in the departure hall.

Especially this girl not only has a good figure, but also has a good appearance, and looks elegant, and some people even plan not to come forward to talk to her.

"I'm back, I miss you!" Gao Yuan saw Meng Xiaobai, hugged him tightly, and gave him a side kiss.

Seeing this scene, some passers-by showed regretful eyes, sure enough, this beauty must have a boyfriend!

"I've only been out for a long time!" Meng Xiaobai took her hand and said with a smile.

"But you didn't stay in Yangcheng in China! I just miss you, can't you?" Gao Yuan said resentfully, Meng Xiaobai spent half a month of vacation with her in the first half of the year, and then went to the magic capital to study cars.

"Ahem, those two, there is another person here!" Ruan Song coughed twice in the back, "Please don't show affection in front of a single dog, care for a single dog, everyone is responsible." ”

"It's okay, you have a strong mental quality. Gao Yuan gave Ruan Song a critical blow.

Pan Yu stood behind, looking at the mobile phone message, frowning slightly.

After leaving the airport and getting into the business car, Pan Yu said: "Mr. Meng, there is bad news. ”

Meng Xiaobai looked sideways at him, and Pan Yu continued: "Just now, Qualcomm suddenly sent us a letter. They said that because of the increase in costs, they will raise the prices of several smart chips we sell by more than 8 percent. ”

"More than eight percent?" Meng Xiaobai realized the problem, in their current smart products, the cost of smart chips is the largest among all mobile phone parts, accounting for about 20 percent. With so much price increase at once, their cost burden can be described as skyrocketing!

Originally, a large part of their profits were eaten by Qualcomm, and now Qualcomm has suddenly raised prices, which is definitely a huge blow to them!

As the price of chips increases, the cost of mobile phones rises, and the selling price has to be increased. The price of Mars smartphones is high enough, and if you mention it again, I'm afraid that not many people are really willing to buy it.

If the price is not raised, the profit point of deep space technology will be greatly reduced, and there will be a risk of loss in market competition.

Qualcomm's unforeseen request for a price increase put them in a dilemma.

"We've also encountered a problem!" Gao Yuan also received a message, "Just now, the Apple App Store removed several software applications launched by our company, including the Look My Magic Mirror Camera, Nebula Mobile Security Manager, Building Block Game Market, etc., on the grounds that there are information security risks and need to be reviewed." ”

Meng Xiaobai didn't speak, and Pan Yu continued: "Another piece of news, Samsung Electronics announced three minutes ago that because of the rising cost of raw materials, it will make a small increase in the price of some electronic product memory. ”

"Our smart products use Samsung's memory. ”

In fact, not only deep space technology, but also the memory used by other electronics manufacturers is almost all Samsung's, Samsung is absolutely a monopoly in the memory business, and the market is completely controlled by them.

"It's coming, it's all coming!" Meng Xiaobai was not surprised, as early as when they decided to expand overseas markets, they expected that these foreign companies would not make it so easy for them.

Sure enough, less than three days after announcing their entry into the island market, these big groups have all taken action, and they want to lock deep space technology in the Huaxia market, and Meng Xiaobai will never be able to go out again.

"It's coming, just faster than I thought. Pan Yu's tone was not relaxed.

Now the development of deep space technology has reached a bottleneck, and the mobile phone business, game business, and the domestic market have been almost developed, and there is no room for growth.

If they can't go abroad and earn money from foreigners, their development will be greatly limited. For example, there are more and more R&D institutions invested in deep space science and technology, and if there is no profitable growth in foreign markets, how can there be so much money to engage in R&D?

No matter how many domestic products are sold, they are limited, and it is impossible for consumers to change their mobile phones every year and charge games every day.

Deep space technology is now like a heavy truck full of cargo at speed, and if it is suddenly stopped, there is no suspense about overturning. If the company's profits are low, the R&D capital chain will be broken, and the project will be suspended, which will lead to insufficient product innovation, reduced competitiveness, and shrinking the market, causing a series of vicious reactions.

"Go back to the company first!" Meng Xiaobai said to the driver, "The enemy has already shot, we can't sit still, it's time to act!"

Now that Meng Xiaobai already knew that their plan to enter the foreign market would not go so smoothly, he was naturally not unprepared.

Now, he has to plan how to stabilize the situation and fight back against his opponent!
