Chapter 839: Divergence
Looking at Lu He, who had aged a lot almost overnight, Zhou Shi didn't know how to persuade him. After all, he had done many of the things that Lu He was doing now. In other words, Ah Q said: "The monk can touch it, why can't I touch it?"
After drinking all night, Zhou Shi and Lu He didn't say anything, and there was not so much nonsense between men. To be honest, a loss of more than 2 billion and less than 3 billion US dollars will not cause Meibang Securities to collapse, but it is inevitable that it will hurt its muscles and bones. The main thing is that this loss will shake the confidence of customers, who made a profit of $1.5 billion a year and will probably never make that much in the future. After all, Smith Bar Securities is a brokerage, not a hedge fund. The sudden departure of James Gorman is another big blow to Meibang Securities. Morgan Stanley, as the second largest shareholder, seems to have other ideas, which have to be worried.
The iPhone 5s was finally launched, and Zhou Shi's attention was diverted from Meibang Securities, and Apple's mobile phone was equipped with fingerprint recognition. It's not that Guoke can't do it, it's that privacy issues are more sensitive, and there are too many dangers for a Chinese company to do such innovation. However, this feature will be launched at the Guoke mobile phone conference in November.
Since the beginning of this year, the gap between the iPhone and the shell has not narrowed, but has widened. Whether it's touch screen response, battery life, CPU performance or camera function, iPhone is better than Fruitshell, but even if it lags behind Apple iPhone, it is still better than Android such as Samsung, and the function of Felix voice assistant is much stronger than Siri, in addition to some basic functions, you can also post information on Twitter, F&F.
In addition to the gap in mobile phone performance, the gap between brand cultures is also the reason for the gap, and uselessness is not enough to support Guoke to surpass the iPhone. Fortunately, the first large-screen mobile phone made up for a lot of shortcomings, and while forming differentiated competition with Apple's iPhone, it suppressed the sales of Samsung's high-end mobile phones. You must know that the iPhone 5S still maintains a 4-inch screen size.
"Deepen the connotation of uselessness and introduce Zhuangzi thought into the fruit shell!" Zhou Shi, this has been planned for a long time, so that the unique Taoist cultural connotation of China penetrates into the product. The time is not ripe, but not everything can be done smoothly when everything is ready.
"Okay, but it's nothing, we've invested tens of millions of dollars in building our brand culture, and we've spent billions of dollars in advertising, which is enough for most of the world's media to sing our praises. "Feng Xing
"Don't be so confident, the media discourse is shifting, the proportion of major sales channels is also changing, nothing remains the same in this world, let's not take it for granted. "Zhou Shi
"We have also hired a third-party advertising effect monitoring agency, and at the same time, we also conduct real-time monitoring of advertising effectiveness internally, and we can adjust the delivery intensity of major advertising channels at any time!"
"Well, that's good. "Zhou Shi
He is not too worried about the development of the smartphone industry, and the layout of the whole industry chain makes there no obvious gap between Guoke and Nut and Samsung. But Guoke has a first-mover advantage, and the brand building is ingenious and impressive. The construction of sales channels for nuts has gradually improved, and it has more price advantages.
Although Zhou Shi's target is Apple's iPhone, the most injured Nokia in the smartphone market is Samsung and Motorola. Of course, Samsung's losses are not where they should have been in history, not now. The market void left by the failure of Nokia, Motorola, Blackberry was shared by Apple, Nutshell, Samsung and Nut.
Samsung's biggest advantage is the so-called whole industry chain, which is almost impossible in the strict sense. The whole industry chain we are talking about is mainly processors, screens, memory/flash memory, cameras and batteries. Samsung is a very important player in all of these areas. But the husks and nuts, backed by Galaxy Capital and Sixiang Fund, are not weak in other aspects except for the lack on the screen. However, Nut Mobile is supporting BOE and has reached a strategic partnership with them. With CSOT and Visionox, the security of husks and nuts in the LCD panel supply chain will become more and more secure over time.
Oh, I forgot to mention that the cost-effective nut mobile phone hit LG, a mobile phone brand that has no sense of existence in China. Huawei's mobile phones using Qualcomm and Spreadtrum chips, under the control of Yu Dazui, although they are now relatively unsuccessful, still show great vitality.
"How about the quality of Visionox's products?" Zhou Shi, whether it is a smart watch or a bracelet and other products, Visionox's Oled screen products have finally entered the market.
"It's pretty good!" Feng Xing
"???" Zhou Shi was embarrassed, and it was over!
Visionox's investment is in charge of the Sixiang Fund, the contract between the husk and the nut, the leading technology, and the coordination of Zhu Yunlai's relationship with the government. Visionox invested tens of billions of soft sister coins and local governments to build the first sixth-generation flexible AMOLED production line in Huaxia (Tianma began to build a flexible AMOLED5.5 generation line this year).
"In fact, I don't think there is any need to support domestic parts suppliers, and Guoke should use the world's most advanced spare parts to compete with IPhone like Apple. "Feng Xing
"Oh, you want the husk to become an American company?"
"Huaxia is the same, now it is globalization, market economy, husks and nuts may have surpassed IPhone if it weren't for these restrictions. "Feng Xing
"Yes, why can't Lenovo?"
"Lenovo doesn't have our patent reserves. "Feng Xing
"Perhaps, why did Nokia fail?" Zhou Shi
"Husks and nuts have been successful, but we can be even more successful. "Feng Xing
"You mean that my existence restricts the development of husk nuts?" Zhou Shi
"No, I mean there is no need to let narrow national sentiments become a burden to us. "Feng Xing
"Like Lenovo, become a trade, industry and technology enterprise?" Zhou Shi
"The investment in technology research and development of fruit shells and nuts has always been large, and our technical strength is top compared with domestic enterprises. "Feng Xing
"Forget it, don't talk about it, you don't understand what real technology is, you don't understand what international relations are, forget the difference between Western countries in China, it's not that I want to support these companies, but we have no choice. Unless it becomes a company like Lenovo, there is no technical competitiveness. "Zhou Shi
"Simon, I think you are biased against Lenovo! You don't have a thorough understanding of globalization, and the international environment in China has been getting better. "Feng Xing
"Perhaps, but I'm not going to change it anytime soon. Zhou Shi said calmly
"......" Feng Xing
