Chapter 884 Solving the supply chain problem is about to fight back
After a deep talk with Li Jianxi, the equipment supply chain of vivo mobile phones was finally solved by more than half, and Lin Cheng let go of a major matter.
After all, although Samsung is far behind Nokia and Motorola in mobile phone manufacturing technology, it is like an industry in China's seventies and eighties, with very low technical content, but it is better in terms of complete industrial categories.
Samsung mobile phone manufacturing also has this characteristic, its technical content is very low, not to mention Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson in Europe and the United States, and even Sony, Panasonic, Sharp and other mobile phone manufacturers in the country are much stronger than Samsung.
However, Samsung has a full set of technology for mobile phone manufacturing, and its equipment supply is completely self-sufficient, and it does not need to supply parts and equipment from a large number of downstream companies like other mobile phone manufacturers.
This point is undoubtedly very worthy of Lin Cheng's learning, in terms of the types of industries involved, Samsung is far stronger than some European and American brands, Samsung's diversification strategy is undoubtedly the most successful of all enterprises.
China has always had the title of infrastructure madness, the construction of a skyscraper can often be completed and delivered in just a few months, and the efficient videos about China's infrastructure in Europe and the United States and other countries often arouse the admiration of netizens, and they have praised China's infrastructure as a world-class level.
But what few people know is that Samsung C&T, which entered the world's top 500 along with Samsung Electronics and Samsung Life, is the world's most well-known construction company.
To see if a construction company has the strength, in fact, there is no need to introduce anything, just introduce its works, the world's famous Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab, Kuala Lumpur Twin Towers, Baobei 101 and other buildings, are the masterpieces of Samsung Properties.
In fact, Lin Cheng's Lin Group also has a construction company, but Lin's construction company will only build residential areas and buildings, such as building difficult skyscrapers such as the Burj Khalifa and the Burj Al Arab, and Lin's construction company is still far behind.
……
After the successful alliance between the Lin Group and the Samsung Group, Lin Cheng refused to be retained by Li Jianxi's family and quickly rushed back to China.
At this time, it was August 18, and as the purchase restrictions of vivo stores became more and more intensified, vivo's crisis theory became even more noisy.
Seeing that the vivoR1 mobile phone produced by vivo will soon fall into complete discontinuation, the trend of rushing to buy vivoR1 mobile phone is intensifying, and consumers across the country have taken action.
In order to buy the soon-to-be-discontinued vivoR1, consumers bring their own dry food, tents, and sleeping bags, and queue up all night.
Chinese people have always liked to join in the fun, such a phenomenon naturally attracted a lot of media reports, and some media asked vivo for an interview, but vivo directly refused, and all employees within the company were given a gag order, and it was strictly forbidden to disclose all the fiction and reality of vivo.
This gag order was quickly interpreted by the media as an attempt to cover up, believing that vivo was acquiescing to the fact that the mobile phone factory was about to stop production due to a lack of parts and equipment.
As a result, a large number of unconfirmed but speculated news by the media has been fabricated.
"China Electronics News": vivo's equipment supply chain is completely disconnected, vivoR1 mobile phone production is imminent, and the popular vivo mobile phone will soon become a huge sound.
"China Consumer Daily": As vivoR1 is about to be discontinued, the underground price of vivoR1 mobile phone has soared, vivoR1 colorless version of the mobile phone has soared to 2800 yuan, and the rainbow version of the mobile phone is 3500 yuan.
"Workers Daily": It is reported that the vivo mobile phone factory, which has been recruiting workers before, has stopped recruiting, and it can be seen from the side that vivo has indeed received the impact of the equipment supply chain, and the workers who have entered the factory secretly told reporters that they are worried that the factory will soon go bankrupt and close down.
Hurry up and buy it!
All the media, all the reports, have clearly pointed out a message to consumers, that is, the vivoR1 mobile phone is about to be discontinued, and it will be too late to buy it.
As a result, these news media reports are like adding fuel to the fire, making consumers' desire to buy vivoR1 mobile phones stronger and stronger, and the wind of panic buying has even blown to Xiangjiang and Macau.
……
On August 20, at the headquarters of Vivo, sitting in the newly built chairman's office, Lin Cheng couldn't help laughing when he looked at these alarmist newspapers.
All plans are going smoothly according to Lin Cheng's wishes, and just yesterday, Liang Botao reported to Lin Cheng the good news that the French company Sagem has been acquired by the Golden Lion investment company, and the acquisition plan cost Lin Cheng a total of 5.5 billion euros, or about 6.5 billion US dollars.
After Sagem was successfully acquired by Lin Cheng, its mobile phone module factory in Southeast Asia is continuously shipping the mobile phone modules urgently needed by vivo to vivo's mobile phone factory.
Lin Cheng's trip to South Korea and Liang Botao's trip to France have been successful, which means that the problem of vivo's equipment supply chain rupture has been satisfactorily solved, and vivo's counterattack is about to begin.
I forgot to mention that the so-called Golden Lion Investment Company is actually Lin Cheng's latest registered vest, plus BF Investment Company, Today Capital, Future Capital, and Lin's Investment Fund, Lin Cheng already has five investment companies.
Among them, BF Investment Company focuses on investing in domestic Internet companies, and the three major Internet companies of Alibaba, Penguin and Kingsoft are Internet companies controlled by BF.
Today's capital focuses on investing in U.S. imperialist industries, and Google Inc. and Nasdaq shares worth tens of billions of dollars are the achievements of Today's capital.
Future Capital focuses on investment in Southeast Asia, and Hualong Petrochemical and various investments in major Chinese companies in Southeast Asia are the main business of Future Capital.
Lam's Investment Fund is an investment company managed by Liang Botao, whose main business is based in Hong Kong, providing convenience for mainland enterprises to start listing in Hong Kong, that is, Liang Botao has returned to his old business and assumed the role of the king of red chips.
The newly established Golden Lion Investment Company will be responsible for the investment and management of Lin Cheng's properties in Europe, while the French Sagem Company and the British Orange Telecom Company will be responsible for Golden Lion Investment.
It's a pity that Manchester United and Liverpool in the United Kingdom have rejected Liang Botao's acquisition, Manchester United and Liverpool, as the two oldest football clubs in the United Kingdom, both management and fans, are extremely repulsive to foreign capital.
After Liang Botao made the acquisition request, the two old clubs did not even open the door to negotiation, and directly rejected Liang Botao.
However, Leung made a takeover request to Chelsea FC in London, and Chelsea owner Bates seems to have made a move.
Lin Cheng has no opinion on this, although the successful acquisition of Manchester United can make Lin Cheng famous again, but the existence of Ferguson makes it difficult for Lin Cheng to interfere in the management of the club, in fact, Lin Cheng wants to form a galaxy battleship, but it is easier to achieve the goal of acquiring Chelsea.
