Chapter 822: Brilliant is vulnerable
2008 is an important dividing line in the mobile phone industry, on the one hand, the traditional mobile phone giants reached the peak of sales this year, on the other hand, smartphones began to rise in an all-round way.
Whether it is Apple in the United States, OPOO and IO within the Celestial Empire, as well as the Warwick mobile phone that is about to enter the market, or the Samsung mobile phone in the stick country that will release its own smartphone next week, they have all begun to smell the broad prospects of smartphones.
At this time, to say that there is no pressure at all on the Glorious mobile phone is also false.
"According to your plan, at this year's Shining Mobile Global Developers Conference, we officially launched Gphone2, and launched Gpad2 and Gpad mini at the same time," Jiang Hui said.
Gpad2 is basically the same as Gpad in appearance, but the chip, memory, battery, screen and operating system have been upgraded.
The Gpad mini is even simpler, basically a scaled-down version of the Gpad.
These two tasks have been arranged by Jiang Hui before, and the progress is faster than Gphone's, and trial production has now begun.
"No problem, these projects can be completed on time, but I expect that the smartphone market will start to become fierce this year, and there will be more competitors entering the market," Pi Wei said.
"Where there is money to earn, capital will flow there, this is an inevitable thing, it can't always be Guanghui mobile phone there to eat alone", Jiang Hui is not too worried about the entry of new competitors, the most important competitor of Guanghui mobile phone is Apple, in addition, the Samsung of the stick country is half, and the rest is not in the eyes.
Needless to say, taking Apple as an opponent, Gphone itself is the idea of "stealing" other people's Apple, compared to Jobs, he has already vomited N mouths of blood.
The mobile phone project with high hopes was stolen by Gphone before it was launched, and after the listing, the gap was so big that Apple's stock price was affected to a certain extent.
However, Jobs is Jobs after all, and Apple with him cannot be inferred by common sense, although the performance of the first generation of iPhone is far less than that of Gphone, but this does not mean that the next generation of iPhone will still be so watery.
If you follow the historical progress, there is nothing scary about the new version of the iPhone launched by Apple this year, but history has been changed by Jiang Hui's butterfly, and Apple's iPhone is destined not to be the rhythm of the previous life.
So will Apple announce a new iPhone at the Worldwide Developers Conference in the middle of this year?
In Jiang Hui's view, this is basically an inevitable question, but it is difficult to say how the performance of the new iPhone will be.
However, not to mention how much it surpasses Gphone, Jiang Hui feels that at least the hardware performance will not be worse than Gphone, as for the appearance, it is difficult to say.
"Indeed, I have asked the marketing department to pay close attention to the smartphone plans of various mobile phone companies, and the most recent one is Samsung's smartphone launch event next week," Pi Wei said.
"Samsung's smartphone started to be the fastest among the traditional mobile phone giants, and I estimate that after the release next week, it will be officially launched soon, so let's wait and see," Jiang Hui said.
If it weren't for the deep impact of the supply chain of Sanxingdui's mobile phone industry, Jiang Hui would not be very worried about the competitiveness of Samsung's mobile phones.
However, now whether it is a glorious mobile phone or an Apple mobile phone, there are some parts that are purchased from Samsung, in this case, when Samsung's smart phone is released, and the Guanghui mobile phone has formed a competition, it is difficult to say whether the stick will be in the supply of the glorious mobile phone.
Samsung also did something similar in his previous life.
"I understand, the popularity of smartphones is slowly rising, but which manufacturers have grasped the true meaning of smartphones like us, we really need to wait and see."
"We rely on innovative ideas, integrate the resources in the industry, and combine our beautiful design to have the glory of Gphone, but this glory is very fragile", Jiang Hui suddenly said with a little emotion.
Zhu Zhengfeng and Dai Fuqian were stunned when they heard Jiang Hui's words.
From the perspective of the company's business, the balance sheet and cash flow statement of Guanghui mobile phone are very beautiful, and the current sales situation is also booming, and there is no problem at all.
"Mr. Jiang, I didn't understand what you said, is there something wrong with our company?", Dai Fuqian asked a little worriedly.
"If I'm not mistaken, Gphone's core parts, chips, memory, and motherboards are all imported, right?" Jiang Hui said with a frown.
"That's true, but the domestic mobile phone manufacturers are basically the same, even Apple, the same electronic components are imported from South Korea, island countries and treasure islands and recruited people to produce them," Dai said.
"Now that the economies of all countries are going global, industries such as mobile phones and automobiles that are fully open are all supplied globally, which is also a normal situation in the industry," Zhu added.
"What you said is not wrong, even if it is a powerful company like Nokia, most of the parts are purchased from outside, but don't forget, we are a Celestial Empire enterprise, a private enterprise of the Celestial Empire, and what kind of country is the Celestial Empire?", Jiang Hui looked at Dai Fuqian and Zhu Zhengfeng and said.
"Mr. Jiang, are you worried about war or something? I don't think it has been possible for the world's major powers to have a large-scale war since the atomic bomb was launched," Zhu Zhengfeng said.
"There are no more wars, but trade disputes are every day. Take a look at how many anti-dumping investigations have the Celestial Empire enterprises suffered over the years?"
Anti-dumping investigation refers to the investigation in which the importing country imposes anti-dumping duties on dumping behaviors that cause industrial injury to the importing country in accordance with the law, and is based on the anti-dumping law, based on the interests of the importing country's industry and its producers, and maintains the normal international trade order and the fairness of the domestic market.
This policy itself can be regarded as a good policy, but it has been misused.
For example, the United States will conduct an anti-dumping investigation against the Celestial Empire at every turn.
An anti-dumping investigation can be initiated in the United States in two ways: one is for an interested party to submit a written application to the International Trade Commission and the Department of Commerce to request an anti-dumping investigation of a certain commodity.
The second bell is for the Ministry of Commerce to initiate an anti-dumping investigation on its own.
In practice, however, almost all anti-dumping investigations are initiated by interested parties.
Interested parties include foreign manufacturers, exporters, or U.S. importers involved in the products under investigation, and foreign governments that produce the same products, but mainly refer to U.S. manufacturers, producers, wholesalers, labor unions, and trade associations that produce or sell the same products.
The Ministry of Commerce shall make a decision on whether to accept the application within 20 days from the date of receipt of the application. In making this decision, the Ministry of Commerce mainly considers whether the various reasons and factors for imposing anti-dumping duties are put forward in the application.
If the Department of Commerce decides to accept it, it shall publish its decision in the Federal Gazette and begin an antidumping investigation.
If the Department of Commerce decides not to admit it, it shall reject the application and publish its decision in the Federal Register.
Basically, it can be said that if a US company feels that it is no longer able to compete with the Celestial Empire, it can give up its application to conduct an antidumping investigation, and no matter whether it succeeds in the end or not, it will disgust you first.
