Chapter 255: Red Letter is a Threat

"I'VE TALKED TO ALL THREE TELECOM OPERATORS, SPRINT-NEXTEL IS THE MOST ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT INTRODUCING OUR PRODUCTS, AND AT&T AND VERIAZON ARE ALSO HAPPY TO WORK TOGETHER, BUT THEY ALSO SAY THAT THE POLICY IS UNCLEAR AND NEEDS TO WAIT FOR THE FCC TO NOTICE. ”

SPRINT-NEXTEL, KNOWN AS SPLINTER IN Chinese, IS NOW THE THIRD LARGEST TELECOM OPERATOR IN THE UNITED STATES, WITH A MARKET VALUE OF ABOUT $26 BILLION, ABOVE IT, IS THE SECOND-RANKED OPERATOR VERIAZON (VERIZON), WITH A MARKET VALUE OF NEARLY $200 BILLION, AND THE FIRST AT&T (AMERICAN TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY) HAS A MARKET VALUE OF $230 BILLION.

The situation in the U.S. mobile phone market is completely different from that of Huaxia, where Chinese people buy mobile phones first by looking at the mobile phone brand and then choosing which operator. Americans, on the other hand, are accustomed to buying products directly from operators, who occupy more than 90 percent of the market, and without carrier support, there is no need to talk about the sale of mobile phones.

Lu Zixin frowned and said: "It seems that it is useless to find any operator for this matter." ”

In fact, when Hongxin was not ready to enter the U.S. market, some U.S. telecom operators had already taken the initiative to ask for cooperation. The market potential of Hongxin intelligent products is obvious to all, and the Chinese market and the island market have fully proved this.

For telecom operators, no matter what mobile phone they sell, they can make money, and they are naturally very happy.

But for the U.S. market, the entry of Hongxin Group is a completely different level.

Su Zhirong nodded and analyzed: "If our products enter the US market, it will definitely have a huge impact on the US market." The first is the mobile phone industry, and the profits generated by Apple alone in the United States are higher than the annual taxes of some countries!"

"If Apple and other mobile phone companies are defeated by us in the U.S. market, the U.S. economy will be greatly affected. There is also the mobile phone chip industry, Qualcomm, Broadcom and other companies, intelligent services impact Google, Microsoft ......"

"Our products and services involve almost half of the Internet industry, and behind these companies are big capitalists and politicians in the United States, who are certainly not happy to see Red Letter enter the American market. ”

Su Zhirong has not said the most serious problem, for consumers, it is nothing more than a problem that one more mobile phone can choose.

But now the influence of Hongxin Group is no longer a mobile phone problem, but a problem related to the entire American economy!

How influential are big companies? Companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Samsung have even surpassed many countries in the ranking of world economies!

That's right, it's the big companies that have a stronger influence on the economy than in many countries!

APPLE'S ANNUAL IPHONE SALES ACCOUNT FOR ABOUT 0.3 PERCENT OF THE U.S. GDP, FOR EXAMPLE, AFTER APPLE ANNOUNCED THAT IT WOULD GRADUALLY TRANSFER MORE THAN $200 BILLION OVERSEAS TO THE U.S. MARKET, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES EVEN IMMEDIATELY CALLED TO THANK APPLE'S PRESIDENT KUCO AND PRAISED HIS CONTRIBUTION TO THE U.S. ECONOMY.

Samsung Group's annual turnover accounts for 20% of the GDP of the entire country, and its revenue is related to the economic development of the entire country, ranking among the top 50 economies in the world...... Etcetera.

If Hongxin were to be as invincible in the U.S. market as the island market, the impact would be immeasurable, and Wall Street capitalists might line up to jump off the building.

In view of this, the big capitalists and government dignitaries in the United States have a vigilant attitude towards the Hongxin Group and dare not easily allow Hongxin to enter the American market.

Su Zhirong asked tentatively: "Why don't we put down the American market for the time being and open up the European market?"

Lu Zixin thought for a while and said: "The current Hongxin only has some influence in China and the surrounding areas, and if you want to lay out the world, you must enter the North American market, the United States and Canada, which are the two most important countries in the North American market, and the attitude of the American market towards us also represents the attitude of the Canadian market." ”

"I'll think about it again. ”

Lu Zixin did not want to compromise so simply, because the Americans were afraid that they would attack the high-tech industry in the United States and wanted to protect their own enterprises and markets. Are they only allowed to make money all over the world?

However, the actual situation is very complicated, the United States is not as good as China, in China, Hongxin is a domestic enterprise, protected by its own policies. But in the United States, they are a threat to foreign companies, and they are ostracized in terms of policy.

Of course, this situation is also unique to Hongxin Group. Because other companies enter the U.S. market, they are not competitive in technology and the market, and they can easily pass the audit.

……

In the past few days, Lu Zixin has specially approved a new procurement plan, preparing to purchase a total of 15 private small business jets from two aircraft companies at one time, with an estimated purchase amount of 1 billion yuan.

The most expensive is that Lu Zixin prepared a Gulfstream private jet for himself, the price is about 250 million Huaxia yuan, and the rest is a business jet arranged for the company's senior executives to facilitate their travel.

This price is not a top-level luxury aircraft, mainly because Lu Zixin is reluctant to spend more than a billion yuan to buy those luxury aircraft, he always feels that the performance of these aircraft is like this, if the big guy in the group sends one, the performance will definitely be much more advanced than this.

After the aircraft is purchased, it also needs to be equipped with dedicated private pilots and flight attendants, which are arranged by the company.

Before his private jet arrived, Lu Zixin went to the United States first. In a few days, the Federal Communications Commission will approve Hongxin Group's product application, and he will meet with several people first.

The first is the current president of AT&T, Gru.

AT&T, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, was formerly known as the Bell Telephone Company, and Bell was not "the top of the food chain" Bell Grylls, but the Alexander Bell, who is known as the father of the telephone.

This company has been leading the world since historical times, and is still the world's leading telecommunications operator, ranking among the top 10 most valuable enterprises in the world!

At the imposing AT&T headquarters building, Lu Zixin met Gru. He is about forty years old, with short black hair, a suit, a white shirt, and a traditional workplace elite dress, this person is at the helm of a large multinational company worth hundreds of billions, and his ability should not be underestimated.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, dear Mr. Lu. Gru shook hands with him, he didn't speak Chinese, but the translator function of Lu Zixin's mobile phone solved the problem perfectly.

"I'm honored too. Lu Zixin sat across from him, and after a brief exchange, began to discuss the company's affairs.
