Chapter 35 If you want to kneel and lick, please come to the door
"Mr. Sun, listen to my explanation, it's not that we are unwilling to fully fulfill the strategic alliance with Apple, it's that Apple is not angry, and it has caused a lot of things recently. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Jobs's old tyrant style, usually others can still treat him as a personality, and when he hits the muzzle of the gun this time, he is looking for his own death-
MORE THAN 60,000 PEOPLE DIED IN THE EARTHQUAKE, AND HUNDREDS OF IPHONE-3G USERS WERE NOT RESCUED IN TIME BECAUSE THEY USED GPS NAVIGATION CHIPS INSTEAD OF BEIDOU, AND THE APPLE MOBILE PHONE ITSELF HAD A BAD SIGNAL. Fortunately, Jobs did not die and hung a slogan on the official website with the slogan "Please hold your mobile phone in an elegant posture", isn't this a blatant provocation to treat Chinese people as fools!
NOW THAT AIMI MOBILE PHONES HAVE SOLD 5 MILLION UNITS, HOW MUCH IS IPHONE-3G IN HUAXIA? 500,000 units! Ten times worse! If we don't launch the Android version of QQ, the users will run out! ”
The above words were explained by Ma Teng to Sun Zhengyi on the phone. Ma Teng's tone was very helpless, and his mouth was dry.
Because Sun Zhengyi just explained to Asumoto Tree Planting: Listen to the bad news about Tengyun first.
At the beginning, when Li Ying and Steve Jobs negotiated, when the public slap in the face and the breakdown of the negotiations, which led to the strategic alliance between Apple and QQ, the conditions given by the two sides were naturally bilateral, and each party had to pay some price. This is business common sense that is easy to understand.
In that cooperation, the price code given by Apple was "to ensure that the IOS system blocks YY, and QQ is exclusively reviewed in Huaxia District as a mobile IM instant messaging APP".
And Tengyun also wants to give the sincerity of "before the second manufacturer other than YY Electronics launches Android mobile phones, ensure that QQ does not log in to the Android system" in return.
At that time, Ma Teng felt that he was still making a small profit.
After all, Aimi phones are competitors' products. Tengyun estimates that those who are willing to pay a lot of money to buy Aimi's mobile phone in the early days must be YY or Gu Cheng's brainless fans. Even if Tengyun develops the Android version of QQ, there will not be a few people who buy Aimi to use it.
Tengyun's promise is just equivalent to saying "When there is only one Android phone in the world, we can't use Android." But as long as there are other manufacturers that also release Android phones, we will release QQ's Android APP."
Supposedly, this is completely empty favors, and there is no substantial price to pay. According to the original general judgment of industry insiders, when there is only one mobile phone in the Android ecosystem, its sales must be on the street, and it would be good to have more than half of Apple's sales in China, and it should be completely exploded by Apple worldwide.
The point is, who would have thought that from mid-May, in the next month and a half, Apple's market performance will be so bad! And Amy's sales are so crazy!
This sales volume has been so large that "even if only one or two out of ten Aimi mobile phone users will use QQ by the way", it cannot be ignored.
"You're dishonoring yourselves! I heard that Wanwan's HTC-G1 Android mobile phone will be launched in the school season, and Samsung's S1 can also catch up with China's 11th National Day. Are you so anxious to kneel and lick Gu Cheng in the past few months? You know that even if the Android version of QQ is launched, few people who buy Aimi will use it! ”
After Sun Zhengyi sorted out the ins and outs of the matter, he only felt that his blood pressure was soaring, and he complained to Ma Teng a few words. Now SoftBank is Tengyun's second largest shareholder, with more shares than the two co-founders combined, and he also has the right to speak up to Ma Teng.
Ma Teng was still very patient, and explained in detail: "Mr. Sun! At this time, how can the interests of face be important, even if it is good to compromise with Aimi to only increase one million mobile QQ users. What do we care about Steve Jobs for? You have a stake in Tengyun, but you don't have a stake in Apple. In the face of such a major change in the situation, it is a big deal to break the contract between the two sides, and Apple will not exclusively support QQ, as far as Jobs's sales of hundreds of thousands of units are concerned, his exclusive support, I still can't look down on it! ”
Sun Zhengyi sulked for a while, but he also knew that what Ma Teng said made sense.
At this time, the dead friends don't die and the poor don't die. Jobs, that tyrant, should also be disliked.
Martenken came to explain to him that at least he was already respecting him as a major shareholder.
"See for yourselves! I advise you, don't send your face to Gu Cheng for a small number of users! Timing and excuses are important! ”
Sun Zhengyi said this, in principle, he actually agreed.
Ma Teng couldn't hear the sound outside the strings, and hurriedly said that he would definitely deal with it.
……
Sun Zhengyi hung up the phone, sulked for a while behind closed doors, drank a cup of matcha, and laughed at himself for a while.
Ahnben didn't come to disturb him, because Sun Zhengyi just said that he was not allowed to come in while he was talking about things.
After laughing at himself and cleaning up his mentality, Sun Zhengyi realized that he was really lenient: In this matter, the most depressed person on the earth should be Jobs, who is idle with him?
In the final analysis, it was the fear in his heart and the hatred that Gu Cheng had shot at him, taking away Ahri Baba's shares, and throwing off the legendary entertainment, which blinded him.
Other businessmen in the world who are hostile and competitive with Gu Cheng, including Ma Teng, can still talk in business and not involve personal enmity, but he Sun Zhengyi can't.
Four years ago, he indirectly prompted Kim Sung-thaek to assassinate Gu Cheng, and later, even though Gu Cheng had no evidence, he fully suspected that he was the ghost. Since then, the two sides have been at loggerheads.
Sun Zhengyi can fully speculate what will happen if his position in SoftBank falls, he is ousted by the Mitsui chaebol and JPMorgan Chase, and loses the last billions of dollars to protect himself.
This fear and delusion of persecution made it very easy for him to substitute for those Gu Cheng's enemies over the years. No matter what field Gu Cheng's competitors were frustrated, Sun Zhengyi would feel empathetic and feel sad, almost forcing himself into a nervous breakdown.
"If you are over fifty years old, you will not die young, what is there to be afraid of. Isn't it just to pay it back? Sun Zhengyi cut a cigar with a cigar, lit it with a sulfur blowtorch, and took a few puffs to calm his mood, feeling that he had crossed that hurdle and could accept a new round of blows.
He rang the internal electric bell on his desk, and half a minute later Yasumoto Ueki came in.
"Tell me, what's the second bad news." Sun Zhengyi spewed clouds and mist, looking very calm.
Only Asumoto Ueki knew that his cousin's cigar was filled with ingredients, and his dependence on various tranquilizer-based nerve drugs had become more and more obvious in the past two years.
Aberdeen took a deep breath and explained the bad news clearly: "Our main competitor in the field of domestic telecom operators, Docomo Company, is preparing to introduce the Beidou navigation version of the Aimi contract machine, and Aimi Company has also promised to fine-tune the design for them, and it is expected to be listed in the summer." Cable-IDC, in which we invested, is also preparing to follow up and made a proposal at the board meeting yesterday. ”
Sun Zhengyi's hand holding the cigar trembled, and his nasolabial folds couldn't help twitching.
SoftBank's biggest investments in Europe, the United States and Fuso are not limited to Internet companies like Yahoo.
In the field of mobile communication operators, SoftBank actually invests more money, in the United States, in Fuso, and in Europe, there are SoftBank operators competing for the market.
In Fuso, there are more than a dozen mobile/broadband operators that are fully market-competitive. SoftBank, which includes Sun Zhengyi, also has a direct mobile operation business, and its market share in Fuso hovers around the third place.
Docomo is one of the top mobile communication operators in Fuso, and it is also Softbank's largest competitor in the telecommunications field in Fuso, and its position is roughly similar to that of "Huaxia Mobile/Huaxia Telecom" in China. It's just that Fuso's communication infrastructure market access is loose and competitive, so Docomo can't have the same absolute advantage as China Mobile.
In addition, SoftBank has also invested in a subsidiary, Cable-IDC, and is also engaged in mobile communication business.
Some laymen may find it strange: Sun Zhengyi's layout of "the parent company also does communications, and then a subsidiary also does communications", isn't it competing with himself and fighting left and right for internal friction?
In fact, this is not the case, because the competitive positioning of these two companies is quite different, and the part of the mobile business operated by SoftBank itself is forbidden to SIM-FREE mode, which is commonly known as "machine card integration", and you can't change the SIM card after buying a mobile phone, and you can't change a number until the mobile phone is broken.
SoftBank's biggest competitor, Docomo, operates a business in the SIM-FREE model, that is, cards can be replaced, which is more flexible than SoftBank. Therefore, when Sun Zhengyi found that a large number of consumers were unwilling to be tied to death by mobile phones and enter Docomo, he hurriedly invested in a Cable-IDC with the same SIM-FREE mode to compete with Docomo for the market in this area.
In other words, Sun Zhengyi's self-operated parent company mainly does the machine-card integration market in the Fuso mobile communication market, while the other subsidiary specializes in machine-card integration. Both sides have their own market segments, so there will be no left-right competition and internal friction.
And at this moment, the bad news that Sun Zhengyi heard, roughly translated, is: your main competitors, and your own little brother, are ready to cooperate with Gu Cheng, taking advantage of their "SIM card and mobile phone are not one", to promote the business model of Aimi mobile phone + Docomo/Cable tariff card!
"Why! What are they doing in such a hurry! What's so good about Gu Cheng's mobile phone! Sun Zhengyi shook off his cigar and lost control of his emotions.
"Uncle, calm down. You should also see it yourself, at present, the popularity index of Amy on Yahoo remains high, and the people are generally discussing the disaster prevention effect of Beidou navigation on Amy's mobile phone, and many survivalists and scum houses who are afraid of earthquakes are very interested in Amy.
And I heard that the neighboring country Samsung has now compromised, Aimi mobile phone has entered the communication market of Dongyi as a cooperative manufacturer, Samsung also said that it will launch an Android version of the mobile phone as soon as possible, and announced in a high-profile manner that it has obtained the exclusive cooperation status of Beidou navigation chip in Dongyi - Docomo sees this
