Chapter 200: Die of Hunger and Don't Eat the Food That Comes to You
As a heavyweight technology enterprise in China, there are countless people and enterprises who are paying attention to Xinghai Technology's every move.
In February, when Xinghai Technology announced that it had mastered long-distance wireless charging technology, the world's science and technology circles paid attention to it.
Some heavyweights such as "Apple Technology News", "MIT Technology Review", "Fortune", "Business Week", "European Science and Technology News", "Straits Times", and "Yomiuri Shimbun" have reported on it one after another.
Sensational.
However, in the minds of 90% of people, long-distance wireless charging technology still belongs to the category of "black technology", and black technology is often synonymous with "immature" and "gimmick".
This technology may exist, but it is still a long way from the maturity of the product.
As for what "listing within the year" and "project approval", just listen to it, don't take it seriously.
It is precisely because the vast majority of people have a kind of "don't take it seriously" psychology that Xinghai Technology's long-distance wireless charging technology has not really attracted the attention of ordinary people.
But this time it's different.
Actually started to build a production base, is this going to be real?
Is the technology really mature?
When this news was announced, not to mention the science and technology circle and the majority of netizens, even the Sucheng City Government was surprised.
The plot has been allocated to Xinghai Technology, how to use it is a matter of Xinghai Technology, even if you dig a big fish pond to raise fish, it is not the business of the municipal government.
Therefore, the Sucheng City Government did not know that Xinghai Technology was going to build a wireless charger production base in Wusongjiang Science and Technology Park, and Xinghai Technology did not notify the municipal government in advance.
In fact, the government of Suzhou City, like most ordinary people, also does not believe that long-distance wireless chargers can be realized in a short time.
Now the news suddenly announced by Xinghai Technology has made several heads of the Suzhou City Mansion almost jump in shock.
Dumbfounded and unbelievable!
After coming back to their senses, they were so excited that they immediately called Xinghai Technology for verification.
Anyway, the project has started construction, and there is nothing to hide, so Qi Wenbin told the truth.
After receiving a positive answer, the heads and brains of the municipal party committee were dizzy by this huge pie.
Not only has the long-distance wireless charging technology been realized, but the production base is still located in Sioux City, which is unbelievable.
Around the upstream and downstream industrial chain of chargers, such as accessories, such as raw materials, such as technology patent authorization, etc., will produce a huge market.
Moreover, with the start of the production base, this market will quickly form in Wusongjiang Science and Technology Park in a short period of time.
Then drive the development of economic and industrial areas such as "Wuzhong District" and Sioux City.
Su Cheng was happy, and the heads of the province were also smashed by this huge surprise, and several provincial leaders called one after another to inquire about the specific situation.
……
While the leaders at the two levels of Jiangsu Province were happy, the majority of netizens were also excited.
Countless netizens have registered comments on "Xinghai Science and Technology News" and "First News Network".
Xinghai Science and Technology News commented on the first post, and netizens "want you to think of hand cramps" said: [I will live broadcast and eat Xiang when I am listed within the year, and the post is proof]
The comments below are 9999+, unified as: Witness!
In the second post, netizen "Spicy Radish Strips" said: [It's all in May, and it's only started now, and I can't go public within the year. If it's listed, don't skip to the top of the Forbidden City + let's watch the meteor shower]
The bottom comments are 9999+, and the top 100 comments are: This is a werewolf!
Then the following posts are basically the same, and the oath is more ruthless than the other.
Just when the Internet was jubilant, Ji Wei, the editor-in-chief of the two websites, Xinghai Science and Technology News and First News Network, couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Ji Wei is 30 years old this year, graduated from Communication University of China with a master's degree, and worked in the whiteness product department before coming to Xinghai.
However, the whiteness product department was rotten to the roots, and she was very uncomfortable there, and immediately came to apply after Xinghai Technology issued a recruitment notice.
After passing five levels and cutting six generals, he was successfully hired as the editor-in-chief.
To be honest, she didn't expect that she had such great potential.
Anyway, in school, she has always been a very casual person.
It can only be said that the heart of leaving Baidu is too urgent.
But it doesn't matter, that's in the past.
What makes Ji Wei excited is that under her personal cultivation, Xinghai Science and Technology News and First News Network have grown from scratch, and then grown step by step, and now, in just half a year, the total registered users of the two websites have exceeded 50 million.
Today's highest peak, Xinghai Science and Technology News' unique access IP reached an astonishing 1.5 million mark, while First News Network also broke through the 1 million mark.
That's a pretty big number.
Of course, this is also borrowed from the company's strength.
Of the three announcements on long-range wireless charging technology, the last two were at her instigation before the company agreed to release them.
Otherwise, how can the company's project approval and groundbreaking also make announcements?
It's all about attracting traffic.
However, Ji Wei's ambition is not small, and she is not satisfied with this.
She felt that the existence of the two portals as only one department of the company was too big and overkill, and that they should be separated.
For example, it will integrate with the game industry media department of Zhengfeng Technology to establish a wholly-owned subsidiary.
Ji Wei considered whether to write a report to the CEO or directly give advice to the big boss?
……
The rise of a company often means the decline of another company, or multiple companies, just like when the robot industry is in full swing, it often means the unemployment of a large number of industrial workers.
With the advent of Xinghai Translator, in addition to causing countless translators to lose their jobs, many translation websites and translators have also been greatly affected.
Websites like Wangyi Youdao Dictionary, Baidu Translation, Google Translate, Tengxun Translation, Kingsoft Word Boss and so on.
The translators are like Qingda Zhun'er of Kyoto Split Tower Technology, Xiaoyi Translator of iFLYTEK, Translator of Sogou Technology, Tuge Translator and so on.
The website is actually okay, the impact is not too great, mainly the translator.
This is truly devastating.
Companies are now also mourning.
For example, at this time, iFLYTEK in Luzhou High-tech Park, Hui Province, was gloomy and miserable in the conference room at this time.
From the release of "Xiaobai Translator" to the present, in most half a year, iFLYTEK's market share has declined from 40% at the beginning to less than 5% now.
Xiaoyi Translator sold 90,000 units in the quarter of 2019, and in the first quarter of 2020, shipments plummeted to 10,000 units.
The stock price also fell from a peak of more than 70 billion to less than 10 billion with the panic selling of shareholders.
It's almost a cliff down.
Chairman Wu Xinfeng lost a lot of weight.
In July last year, he proposed to the board of directors at the first time when he tried Xinghai Translator that he should get the technical agent of Xinghai Translator at all costs, because he knew that the market was ruthless, and when there was a better product, customers would not hesitate to abandon iFLYTEK.
However, the board of directors rejected his proposal, believing that it would take some time for the market to accept Xinghai Translator, and that time could be used to negotiate with Xinghai.
Strive to get the most favorable agency conditions.
At the beginning, Xinghai Technology gave iFLYTEK the agency conditions, which were so-so and acceptable, but iFLYTEK was not satisfied and continued to talk.
Needless to say, Xinghai Translator has occupied the high-end market with almost lightning speed, such as culture, scientific research, teaching, press and publishing, economy, tourism, etc.
From top to bottom, however, the autumn wind sweeps away the leaves.
The people of Xinghai Technology are also ruthless enough, and as their market advantages continue to expand, the conditions are becoming more and more demanding.
Later, I almost treated iFLYTEK as a meal.
Not to mention that the board wouldn't agree, neither would he.
Starve to death and don't eat the food that comes from it!
But as the days passed, seeing that iFLYTEK was really going to "starve to death", the former oath became no longer so firm.
Wu Xinfeng looked at the depressed directors and representatives in the conference room, and thought of 20 years ago, when he and a group of classmates started iFLYTEK, and they were also full of spirit.
Decades have passed in the blink of an eye, but I didn't expect the company to eventually go to extinction.
Wu Xinfeng thought about it for a long time, and finally called Chen Xu......
