(.) Liao Yuancheng told Zhou Liwen with some confusion that he had a strange problem when contacting the foundries, according to the past years of the mobile phone foundry business, generally speaking, the foundry can get the capacity saturation of 7o Ding every year, and even some foundries may not even be able to reach this number, so from the perspective of capacity saturation, there are generally 3% or even 4o idle.

But this year is a little strange, the number of orders from these large-scale foundries has basically reached a saturated state, and the highest has even passed 3 Moreover, from the point of view of the signing time of the foundry contract, almost all of them are in the same period. In terms of the overall sales growth of smartphones worldwide, the growth rate has not reached the point of sharp growth.

"You mean this has something to do with Lao Sha's accident?" Zhou Liwen asked solemnly.

Liao Yuancheng thought for a while and shook his head: "This is not certain, but there is a possibility." But who is the wonder who would do that? Aren't they afraid that the mobile phones they produce will not sell? This is simply killing a thousand enemies and losing 800 yourself. Besides, the other party is not a company, but several mobile phone manufacturers. ”

Zhou Liwen was silent for a moment, Liao Yuancheng was right, increasing orders and absorbing all production capacity was a strategy that outweighed the losses. Although the smartphone market is large and has been growing over the years, the entire market is still saturated, because the simplest point is that the number of people in the world is a fixed number, and then you have to count the region, per capita income and so on.

In this case, an endless increase in production is absolutely impossible. No businessman in the world would do that, unless he was an idiot. Smartphones don't sell rice, but even grains like rice are still unsalable. Zhou Liwen wondered if this was a coincidence, or was he too sensitive? But when he then asked Liao Yuancheng to summarize several companies that had increased OEM to him and get the list, Zhou Liwen was a little skeptical about his previous judgment.

Samsung, HT and several emerging domestic brand mobile phones.

Zhou Liwen saw this list in his eyes, and he was in a trance for a while. Because he is now related to Samsung or HT Lianji, that is, he has business cooperation with Cai Mingjie.

Tailian Technology is now an OEM company with a certain scale, and after failing to compete with Zhou Liwen, Cai Mingjie first continued to engage in copycat mobile phones and used OEM to resurrect. Subsequently, relying on OEM cooperation for Samsung, HTC and other companies, it gradually began to grow and formed its current scale.

In other words, Taiwan United Technology is a downstream enterprise of Samsung and HTC, and without the support of Samsung and HTC, Cai Mingjie would not be able to turn over. And coincidentally, these two companies are the leaders among the mobile phone manufacturers that have increased OEM production this time.

In order to confirm his guess, Zhou Liwen hurriedly sent people to continue to investigate those foundries that rejected him. A few days later, the detailed investigation results were placed on his desk, and when he saw this thing, Zhou Liwen was stunned at first, and then a fire came out of his heart.

"A group of bastards" Zhou Liwen scolded, he never thought that the guess was actually the truth, the real ghost was not Cai Mingjie, Cai Mingjie was the same as Zhang Wei, to put it bluntly, he was a puppet, or one of the chess pieces. And behind it is Samsung and HT because the reason is very simple, although the foundries have clearly replied that their production capacity is full this year, but in fact the production capacity is not as they say. According to the internal understanding of specific factories, although the production capacity of several large foundries is slightly more than in previous years, they can still take out about 3% of the leeway to OEM for Zhou Liwen's OR company.

However, without exception, these foundries all rejected the olive branch handed over by Zhou Liwen for the same reason, because according to internal insiders, if they accept Zhou Liwen's order, then these foundries will lose stable foundry business next year, and in the face of such a threat, no foundry will take this risk.

Some people may say, can't the bosses of these foundries directly cooperate with Zhou Liwen for a long time? The truth is this, but who can actually guarantee it? You know, the cooperation between Sha Zihao's foundry and OR company is not a secret in the industry, the company itself has such a large-scale foundry, will it abandon it and directly turn to cooperate with itself?

That's right, now that Sha Zihao's foundry has a problem, OR companies need to find new partners, and the OEM price given is very favorable. But this is only a temporary business, not a long-term cooperative business. The ratio of watermelon to sesame seeds is well known, and it is absolutely impossible for a shrewd boss to throw away the watermelon in his hand for the sake of the sesame seeds in front of him.

They know very well that when Sha Zihao's foundry resumes production, then the OR company will definitely turn its business back next. When the time comes, the bamboo basket will be empty, not only will there be no OR business, but even the original partner will be lost, who will do this kind of thing?

The angry Zhou Liwen even had an urge to tear off the table, if he couldn't see that the mastermind behind the scenes was Samsung and HTC joining forces, Zhou Liwen would not have come to this point. As for why these two companies are doing this, Zhou Liwen vaguely guessed a point, especially Samsung, after cooperating with Zhou Liwen, it has come from behind in an extremely fast way, and has now become the second place in the top few big smartphone brands, second only to the leading or company.

At present, the world's leading smartphone industry or the second is Samsung, HTE and Apple's market share is basically the same, and the two are fiercely competing for the third position. Although HTC has an advantage in terms of style and model, Apple is full of stamina from the perspective of sales concept and brand. In addition to these four companies, there are also BlackBerry, Nokia, Toshiba, TCL, Lenovo, Huawei and other brands competing for supremacy. But each of these brands has its own weaknesses, and the BlackBerry sales area is narrow and the business atmosphere is too strong. Nokia sunset, especially clinging to the Symbian system and refusing to let go. Japanese brands such as Toshiba are more than exquisite, but they are not very practical, mainly targeting the mid-to-low-end market, and lack high-end models. As for the last two to enter the smartphone market for a short time, they are still expanding, and they cannot form a competitive posture for the first few for the time being, but in the long run, there is still something to be done, but it is still quite difficult to enter the ranks of the top three.

Judging from the current situation, OR companies have become the target of public criticism, especially the second and third Samsung, HTC two companies, they wish that OR company would fall from the hegemonic position like Nokia back then, so as to lose the light shrouded in it.

What's more, Zhou Liwen and Samsung have business cooperation in smart phones, especially the touch screen of smart phones is still provided by Samsung, which is easy for Samsung to understand the development progress of or mobile phones from the order situation of the company.

Besides, although the structure and application of the OR mobile phone are strictly confidential, its sales plan, or the time of new product launch, is not too strictly confidential. With Samsung, or even HTC channels, it's easy to find out. Just like the OR company, they also know the approximate development progress and sales time of new mobile phones from mobile phone manufacturers such as Samsung. Of course, in addition to HTC company, because HTC's new mobile phone is updated too quickly, I don't know what the other party thinks, a new model will be launched every two or three months, and even some new models and old models are only different in chassis shape, or some changes have been made in the system. As a result, there are more than a dozen models of HTC smartphones in the market, and there are even signs of continuing to increase.

With such a wide range of styles and models, it is estimated that HTC's own sales staff are also stunned, not to mention consumers. So when the OR company is doing this, it will be interested in HTC's new...

There is not much interest in the mobile phone anymore, but it is just a routine filing according to the cycle of the other party's new model.

The grim situation is in front of Zhou Liwen, but Zhou Liwen can't come up with any evidence. Besides, what if he comes up with evidence? Is it still possible to sue the other party in this way? Even if you spray a few words on your mouth, there is no loss for the other party, but you fall into the next success.

As for who made this decision on Samsung's side, Zhou Liwen is also skeptical. may be the handiwork of Samsung's prince Lee Jae-chrome, who has always been uneasy with him, but it is difficult to guarantee that it is not the decision of Samsung's head Lee Kun-hee. It is impossible for Zhou Liwen to tear his face with Samsung at this time, because no matter who does it, the other party will never admit it, and in the cooperation of smart phones, Zhou Liwen still needs Samsung's touch screen technology, and at the same time, Samsung's smartphone also needs Zhou Liwen's operating system.

There seems to be only one way in front of Zhou Liwen, that is, pretending not to know about this matter, swallowing his breath to solve the trouble of the Shazihao foundry as soon as possible, and at the same time adjusting the launch time of new products and redoing the sales plan until the foundry returns to normal.

But even so, Zhou Liwen will suffer huge losses. The initial estimate of the loss of the foundry not being able to operate normally is billions of dollars, and if you add the loss of manpower, material resources and time to adjust the strategy, this figure is likely to exceed 10 billion. Even if Zhou Liwen has a big family now, he feels a lot of pain.

Zhou Liwen, who suffered such a sullen loss, not only folded Sha Zihao into it, but also couldn't tell the bitterness. He gritted his teeth and mobilized all the resources to solve the trouble of resuming work in the foundry, and finally took a lot of effort to get it reluctantly, and after the working group all evacuated the foundry, more than two months have passed since the birth of the foundry, and then the foundry will have to re-recruit personnel, configure and adjust equipment maintenance and production capacity, which will take at least two or three months, and wait until the resumption of normal production before, the time has passed half a year, and in this half year, Samsung took advantage of the lack of production capacity of OR company for the first time to surpass OR mobile phones in the number of sales and became the first place.

When Samsung's smartphone replaced OR Company to become the new hegemon of the world's mobile phone manufacturing industry, the whole South Korea suddenly boiled, and even the Koreans in the United States were all in high spirits, one by one, Smitta, thumbs up and said that Samsung is the real world's first, and its mob's face is extremely disgusting.

Even, in this case, some business newspapers, magazines and newspapers commented on this, and some freelance writers who deliberately sang the praises of OR even wrote: In the high-tech field, OR has certainly created miracles, but it is a pity that it is only like a meteor in the sky, shining and dazzling, but it cannot last. Now, the era of OR has passed, it is conceivable that OR is like Nokia before, becoming a yellow flower of yesterday, the future of smartphones belongs to Samsung, as a world-renowned multinational company, Samsung is the real hegemon.

"A bunch of nonsense" Lin Yaxuan was very angry and threw the newspaper into the wastepaper basket on the side.

On the contrary, Zhou Liwen, who was on the side, was not angry at all, and leisurely looked at the magazine in his hand, as if the article on it aimed at OR Company was commending him.

"You have a good temper, and you don't get angry just watching them talk nonsense in the newspaper?" Seeing Zhou Liwen's understatement, Lin Yaxuan couldn't help but say

"What then? Do I have to make a statement in the newspaper to refute their statements? Don't forget that this is the United States, a society known as a liberal democracy, where freedom of speech is a right for everyone. Besides, these articles are not all nonsense, and there are also some facts that, in terms of the number of sales, we have indeed been overtaken by Samsung. ”

Zhou Liwen shrugged his shoulders and smiled, looking at him who seemed to be talking about others, not angry, Lin Yaxuan even doubted that it was his husband who was sitting in front of him?

You must know that more than three months ago, when Zhou Liwen first returned to the United States, his temper was so bad that he locked himself in the study and sulked at every turn. But who would have thought that after just such a little time, Zhou Liwen would return to his normal heart, and even be so honored and disgraced, this is not like Zhou Liwen whom Lin Yaxuan knew

"Arwen, you can't be sick, are you?" Lin Yaxuan couldn't help but touch Zhou Liwen's forehead, Zhou Liwen smiled and hid back, saying that he was fine, where could there be a wife like her who cursed her husband's illness.

"Then you're going to let them talk nonsense? Dirty company? Lin Yaxuan frowned and said: "Don't you know that the company's stock has fallen by 2%, if you don't solve this problem, I'm afraid it will fall, once it falls below the psychological tolerance of the shareholder, I am worried that it will cause panic in the market."

"Hehe, what if you're angry, what's if you're not angry?" Zhou Liwen smiled and said: "Since the matter has already been born, no matter how big the fire is, it will not help, it is better to face the reality with a smile." ”

"You...... I can't say it, I'll watch the child go" Lin Yaxuan saw that Zhou Liwen looked like he was not in a hurry, he stomped his feet angrily, got up and left the study

Looking at the back of Lin Yaxuan leaving, Zhou Liwen sighed secretly. In fact, how could he not be aware of the crisis of the current situation? If it is not handled well, the OR company will face the biggest difficulty since its founding. Now, the share price of OR companies has fallen by 2 under this influence, not to mention that this proportion is not large, but according to the total share value of OR, it is equivalent to a market value of tens of billions of dollars, and this number is increasing day by day.

But as Zhou Liwen said just now, what he needs now is not anger, let alone a thunderstorm at this reality, because no matter what, things have already happened, and the current situation he had predicted a few months ago. Only by keeping a cool head and not being influenced by the outside world can Zhou Liwen correctly judge and make countermeasures.

As for the company's predicament and falling stock price, Zhou Liwen believes that as long as he copes with it properly, everything will get better. And what he has lost temporarily will eventually be regained from the hands of others, and the other party will get the punishment he deserves.

A few days later, the president of the New York investment bank secretly rushed to Zhou Liwen's home in Los Angeles, and Zhou Liwen received him in the study that night, and no one knew what they were talking about, but after the president of the investment bank left, Zhou Liwen changed his clothes and called the crew at the same time, asking him to be ready to take off at any time

"Where are you going so late?" Lin Yaxuan, who heard the movement, woke up from his sleep and saw Zhou Liwen just hanging up his mobile phone and packing his luggage.

"I have something to do to go to New York State." Zhou Liwen replied, and motioned to Lin Yaxuan not to get up, he just packed a few clothes.

"I'll do it anyway." Lin Yaxuan didn't listen to Zhou Liwen's words, insisted on getting off the bed, took a few thicker clothes for Zhou Liwen, folded them and put them in the box.

"It's colder than this, so it's better to bring more clothes."

"Thank you......." Zhou Liwen kissed her on the cheek, stood aside with a smile and watched his wife help him pack his luggage.

After a while, the luggage was sorted out, Lin Yaxuan put the box on the ground, turned around and hugged Zhou Liwen, raised his head slightly and said, "Awen, will you promise me to go early and come back early?" I know you're pretending to be casual these days, but you're actually more stressed than anyone else. In fact, our money has not been spent for several lifetimes, and if the company really can't do it, we simply ....... ”

"Don't worry, silly girl, I promise you'll be back soon. As for the company's affairs, you don't have to worry, your husband will naturally have a way to solve it, maybe when I come back, all the problems will no longer be a problem. ”

Zhou Liwen kissed her deeply on the forehead, then turned around and lifted the box, strode downstairs downstairs, Carl downstairs was already waiting at the door in a car, looking out of the window, Zhou Liwen handed over the luggage to Carl, turned around and waved his hand to Lin Yaxuan who was standing upstairs with a smile, and then pulled the car door and got in.
