Chapter 36: Shame on the face
While Sun Zhengyi was forced to be embarrassed by shareholders and subsidiaries, in Seoul, Li Yunxin gained the first sense of career accomplishment in his life.
KTF, the second largest telecom operator in Dongyi, officially launched the Beidou navigation version of the Aimi mobile phone on July 1, and the sales volume was not bad, with as many as 20,000 units pre-ordered on the first day.
has lived to be almost 28 years old, and Li Yunxin has really not negotiated any business or run anything serious for the family before. However, after contacting Gu Cheng for a while, she suddenly felt that her work was still very meaningful, especially the promotion of the Beidou navigation version of the mobile phone, in Li Yunxin's heart, it was no longer "to sell a few more mobile phones to make some money", but "to let more people use this kind of mobile phone that can still be located in the state of complete destruction of the ground signal station, and save more lives in the event of an accident".
Of course, Aimi's shipment in Dongyi, for the time being, needs to give Samsung a part of the channel service fee rebate, about 8 points, as a cooperative partner of the posture of business, Samsung will also provide some promotional platform services.
Otherwise, the fanatical nationalism of the people of Israel in the field of electronics and automobiles is afraid that it will not sell well.
Fortunately, Dongyi is expensive, and mobile phones can afford to sell a little more expensive.
Some people say that the mobile communication market in Dongyi, Fusang and even the United States is a combination of machine and card, but this understanding is not necessarily true.
Because the mobile market in these countries is fully open to competition, there is no monopoly threshold, as long as there is financial resources and technology, anyone can enter the market as an operator.
Therefore, at best, it can only be said that "most operators have chosen the binding mode of integrating machine and card", but there are also some that provide SIM-FREE flexible service model, in order to seize the niche flexible market.
Anyone who has watched the American drama "House of Cards" should be familiar with it: President Underwood (who was only a party-whip at the time) started with a postpaid contract phone. But before he wanted to do something bad in secret, he specially found a channel to get a pre-recharged, anonymous mobile phone, and then contacted the female reporter ZOE.
In Dongyi, SK Telecom, the largest operator, does not support SIM-FREE, and Aimi Mobile has not yet produced a customized version of the integration of machine and card, so it is natural that SK cannot be chosen as the first partner when entering the Dongyi market.
In addition, Li Yunxin refused to marry the SK Cui family at the beginning, so Li Yunxin deliberately avoided SK when he helped Gu Cheng saddle up the front and back operations, which led to the current situation.
The loosening and moderate pursuit of the Dongyi market further stimulated the Fuso people, and also made a breakthrough for Aimi to go abroad and go to East Asia/Southeast Asia.
The Philippine company SMART Telecom is almost only more than a week behind Dongyi KTF, and it also announced a high-profile cooperation with Aimi to introduce contract machines. FOLLOWED BY INDONESIA'S SMARTFREN, AN OPERATOR WHOSE CAPITAL STRUCTURE IS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THAT OF SMART TELECOM IN THE PHILIPPINES.
The Philippines and Indonesia are both countries in tectonic seismic zones, and wealthy and high-end users attach great importance to the security of their communication positioning.
The three views of Southeast Asian countries in the industrial consumer goods market are highly benchmarked against the trend of the Fusang and Dongyi markets - generally speaking, the Vietnamese and Cambodians like to follow the trend of Dongyi, the Philippines, India and Myanmar like to follow the trend of Fuso, and the Thais follow the trend on both sides.
As soon as I heard that even the fanatical and patriotic Dongyi people have begun to buy mobile phones other than Samsung and LG, the impact on the minds of the wealthy people in these countries is naturally very obvious.
As the country with the most earthquakes in Asia and even the world, it is impossible for the Fuso market not to pay attention to these trends, and there is Docomo and Cable-IDC to follow suit.
The chaebol has never allowed its own business to keep up with the pace of the times, and there is no reason why SoftBank cannot afford to be a competitor.
So the representatives of the Mitsui chaebol forced Sun Zhengyi again.
……
It was about ten days later, a weekend.
Samsung and KTF have sold 40,000 or 50,000 units of Aimi in Dongyi, and SMART Telecom in the Philippines has also sold thousands of units.
The same is true of the Docomo family in Fuso.
On the streets of Tokyo, there are already hipsters holding FREE-SIM Aimi mobile phones, taking selfies while visiting Akihabara and quickly uploading them to their own Renren space.
Then I found that it was much more convenient to do this than to use a mobile phone to take a photo in the original non-smart phone era, and then upload it to the network disk with a data cable or the cloud function of the YY mobile version, and then share it with the computer operator.
The mobile version of YY, Renren and the corresponding camera tools on Aimi's mobile phone have a very perfect APP system, and they run smoothly and operate extremely user-friendly and convenient.
EVEN IF YOU SHOOT A SHORT VIDEO, YOU CAN NOW SHARE IT DIRECTLY WITH YOUR OWN RENREN ACCOUNT ON NICONICO, AND LEAVE A SHARING PORTAL IN YOUR OWN RENREN SPACE.
And if you use Aimi mobile phone to take selfie videos or photos in outdoor areas without IFI and share them locally immediately, Aimi mobile phone Renren Network APP also gives an additional small function intimately: if the Beidou navigation switch of the machine is turned on at the same time, you can choose to share the location at this moment, this location is absolutely real, automatically generated by positioning, and no artificial fake is allowed.
So, if a dick squeezes out a month's pocket money, goes to a bar in Ginza and pretends to be a force, or skips a week's supper and goes to a maid café in Akihabara. As long as he uses an Amy phone, he can get a label that reads "July 8, 2008, 300 Bar, Ginza, Tokyo" or "July 10, 2008, Akihabara Suzunomiya Café" when he shares his selfie.
Such an experience, as well as the awesome security, coupled with the various superior legends behind it, make the Fuso people who have always had a strong sense of superiority feel unstoppable, even if they know that Aimi mobile phone is a thing developed and produced by Chinese people, they still can't help but fall into the pit.
With sales data and market feedback as a foundation, Mitsui Chaebol's fingers at Sun Zhengyi are more convincing.
So Xichuanjun, who had been absent for a long time, made an appointment with Sun Zhengyi again.
More than a week after he vaccinated Sun Zhengyi through Aberdeen tree planting.
In the past two years, Sun Zhengyi was bored when he saw Xichuan Jun. The main thing is that every time the other party appears, it means that Mitsui and even JPMorgan Chase are going to point fingers at his decision-making or express distrust.
Mr. Nishikawa obviously has less respect for Sun Zhengyi than he did two or three years ago.
As soon as he saw the other party, he didn't even want to take a sip of tea, so he went straight to the point and made a request on behalf of the Mitsui Zaibatsu or Fuso Trust Bank:
"Sun Sang, how are things considered. We at Fuso Trust agree that SoftBank should not let go of this opportunity to actively cooperate with Aimi Mobile, and should take the initiative to issue an offer to invite the other party to customize a mobile phone for SoftBank's SIM model and put it in the Fuso market!
"I don't think it's a good choice. Sun Zhengyi's words revealed an old and strong stubbornness,
"At present, Aimi does not have any R&D plan to develop a machine-card integrated mobile phone, and even if it is rushed out, the performance stability is not necessarily reliable. And I heard that Wanwan's HTC and Dongyi's Samsung are prepared with both hands, and in three months at most, you can come up with a mobile phone that integrates the machine card and meets the elements of the Android system and Beidou navigation at the same time.
When the time comes, we can still use those mobile phones to meet the needs of users who tend to the Android system and need Beidou navigation and positioning to ensure a sense of security in life. ”
This rhetoric is obviously a shield that Sun Zhengyi came up with after brewing for a long time.
He didn't say that because he had a holiday with Gu Cheng, he didn't want to humiliate himself. It is only said that the combination of Android and Beidou is completely satisfied by other suppliers in the future, and now Gu Cheng is just playing a time gap.
And the length of this window period, from the listing of Aimi to the follow-up of competing products, will not exceed half a year. If you count from the sudden event of a major earthquake, it will not take more than four or five months.
Android is an open system that anyone can use. Gu Cheng will not achieve a monopoly, he just chooses to be brave and diligent when other opponents are waiting and seeing, and then takes the lead.
If it weren't for the fact that so many days helped Gu Cheng to happen, he would have been able to catch up on the shipments of three or four million units at most during this window period.
For Samsung and Nokia, which have annual sales of more than 100 million, three million units is not a big deal.
However, Nishikawa is clearly not satisfied with Sun Zhengyi's prevarication.
He refuted without leaving a face: "Three months...... Do you mean, the company still wants to watch its competitor Docomo take advantage of the exclusive advantages of Beidou and Android systems in vain, and circle users for another three months? I think you can't afford to cooperate with Gu Cheng because of the festival with Gu Cheng himself!"
Sun Zhengyi listened to the other party's troubles, and almost trembled with anger.
If I'm not mistaken, the current voting rights of the Fuso Trust and JPMorgan Chase are still entrusted to me. I haven't made any bad decisions lately that have hurt the company's valuation, and it seems that none of the terms of the termination of the mandate are sufficient!
Two and a half years ago, in order to invest in Tengyun and inject capital to support Tengyun, he went head-on with Gu Chenggang in the field of artificial intelligence content FEED, and signed a VAM agreement with Fuso Trust and JPMorgan Chase.
If the investment fails again, the major shareholders with proxy voting rights are eligible to require him to use part of his personal equity to compensate the losses of other shareholders and completely release the entrustment.
However, now, Tengyun's share price is still supported by various over-the-counter factors, with a market value of $34 billion in the Hong Kong stock market. So Sun Zhengyi hasn't lost yet.
Theoretically, as long as Tengyun's stock price does not collapse for a day, or Tengyun's appreciation can make up for the loss of SoftBank's mobile operator business in Fuso's local side, he has the right to continue to maintain a tough stance on shareholders such as Fuso Trust and JPMorgan Chase.
Xichuan listened to Sun Zhengyi's words and knew that he was determined to go all the way to the dark.
"Then there is no need to talk about it? Sun Sang, I advise you to be realistic. Everyone is a clear-eyed person, and the reason why Tengyun's stock price is still holding up today is not because of how right you made the decision to "help Tengyun Company lay out content FEED artificial intelligence", but because in 07, Huaxia Mobile carried out strategic cooperation with Tengyun for more than half a year in order to be honest, and helped Tengyun continue so many users and life.
I'm sure you can see that. I am here to persuade you today, I want to give you a decent opportunity, if you now in the mobile operation business to pull down the face and cooperate with YY Electronics as soon as possible, so that this business will not be squeezed out by Docomo to occupy some user share, then there will be discussions in the future. Otherwise, the day Tengyun's stock price plummets will be when you, the chairman of the board of directors, step down!"
"Then let's go and see!Plant trees, send Xichuan-kun out for me!" Sun Zhengyi was not threatened at all, and Sen Ran ordered Yasumoto to plant trees to send off guests.
