Chapter 150 Tripping Apple Inc

The subsequent decoration of the villa was handed over to the design company by Lu Yang. He shifted his focus to the tablet project. During Ye Wenbing's trip abroad, Lu Yang was personally in charge of Tianxin Software.

Compared with before, Lu Yang's work is much easier now. Today's Tianxin Group, the restructuring is nearing completion. With the assistance of Roland Berger, Tianxin Group was formally established with full control of seven subsidiaries. The system of the group company has been established, and the efficiency of the overall operation has also been greatly improved.

In terms of headquarters, Su Yan has done a very good job, and she has coordinated well between various subsidiaries and departments. Both old and new employees in the company are convinced of her abilities.

The tablet computer project in charge of Lei Jun is progressing smoothly, and it is expected that the engineering machine will be available by the end of October. Lu Yang personally inspected the project work and secretly praised Lei Jun very much. To tell the truth, Lei Jun's management ability is much stronger than Lu Yang's. Under the management of Lei Jun, the work progress of Tianxin Electronics exceeded Lu Yang's expectations.

Participated in a meeting, Lu Yang and the management of Tianxin Electronics officially met.

"Boss, after the official reorganization, Tianxin Electronics has a total of 314 employees, including 19 management and 102 technical teams. After the establishment of various functional departments, there is still a large shortage of employees. The company plans to recruit about 200 people by December......" At the meeting, Lei Jun made a report on the personnel of Tianxin Technology.

"Just do as you say." Lu Yang agreed, "Thank you for your hard work, Lao Lei." ”

Lu Yang knew that Lei Jun had indeed made a great contribution to Tianxin Electronics. At the beginning of the reorganization, the company's management was strict and insufficient, and Lei Jun used his connections and influence to persuade many talents in the industry to enter the company, so as to support Tianxin Electronics in such a short period of time.

After inspecting Tianxin Electronics, Lu Yang went to several other subsidiaries to take a look and met with the management of these companies. Finally, he had an in-depth conversation with Frederick of Roland Berger, mainly about the company's system and culture.

At around nine in the evening, Lu Yang received a call from Ye Wenbing from the United States. Calculating the time, Ye Wenbing has been in the United States for almost two months. His original purpose was to acquire the American SR company, and later, Lu Yang transferred Qi Dong back from the United States, and Ye Wenbing was also responsible for the lawsuit with Apple.

"Boss, about sr gong ◎ ∨ dǐng ◎ ∨ diǎn ◎ ∨ small ◎ ∨ said, .≤.▼ os_ (); Division, I have good news and bad news here, which do you want to hear first? Ye Wenbing sold Guanzi.

"Let's hear the bad news first." Lu Yang is used to being bitter first and then sweet.

"Okay. The bad news is that SR still hasn't agreed to our acquisition, and moreover, Apple has made an offer for SR. Ye Wenbing said.

Lu Yang's expression was much more serious.

"Apple is also going to buy SR?" Lu Yang was a little surprised, when Ye Wenbing mentioned the SR company to him before, Lu Yang didn't take it to heart, because of the voice assistant, Lu Yang can develop it himself, and it is guaranteed to be better than theirs.

But now that he heard that Steve Jobs was also interested in SR, Lu Yang's mind changed.

"Well, SR received an offer from Apple a week ago."

"And what about the good news?"

"The good news is that Apple is offering less than ours, and SR didn't agree to their acquisition."

Lu Yang thought for a while and smiled: "In this case, Lao Ye, we can't give up this acquisition." Increase the offer for SR, and in addition, release the news of our acquisition of SR to the outside world, and the bigger the movement, the better. ”

Ye Wenbing was stunned: "Boss, what are you doing here?" ”

"Of course, it was a stumbling block for Jobs. This guy has tricked us a lot...... Doesn't he want SR, then we'll go and make trouble. It's best to stir them up, and even if it ends up being done, let them spit blood. Lu Yang said with a smile.

"Boss, do we want to buy SR?" Ye Wenbing was confused.

Lu Yang said: "It is best to buy it, and it doesn't matter if you can't." As for the voice assistant, the company has already completed the research and development. ”

"What?" Ye Wenbing was very hurt and shouted, if this is the case, isn't his work in vain in the past two months?

Lu Yang comforted: "Old Ye, don't get excited. In fact, there are still benefits to acquiring SR, at least the patents held by the other party are very valuable. So I'll leave this matter to you, it's up to you to decide. ”

"Okay." Ye Wenbing was a little frustrated, "Boss, to be honest, even if the company goes all out to acquire SR, I am not sure whether it will succeed." You are right, this acquisition, the US government is likely to intervene. ”

"Tell me about it!"

"SR's technology comes from a program of the U.S. Department of Defense and was originally developed for the U.S. side. I had a conversation with SR's senior management, and the other party vaguely revealed that they were not against being acquired, but if the target is a Huaxia company, the follow-up may be very troublesome......"

"If that's the case, then forget it, but we still have to make an offer, anyway, we can't let Apple complete the acquisition." Lu Yang doesn't pay much attention to SR, but he has a lot of hatred for Apple, and would rather do this kind of thing that hurts others and himself.

"Okay. Speaking of Apple, there are two more news, a good news and a bad news, boss, which one do you want to hear first? Ye Wenbing is still having fun.

"Lao Ye, you're enough. Forget it, let's start with the good news this time. Lu Yang said helplessly.

Ye Wenbing laughed twice.

"Lawyer Rodriguez sued me that the lawsuit with Apple is expected to end next month. We have a big chance of winning. ”

Lu Yang was pleasantly surprised: "This is indeed good news. And what about the bad news? ”

"The bad news is that even if we win the lawsuit, Star 1 will have to go through the review of the U.S. Department of Commerce if it wants to be sold in the United States, and the most optimistic estimate is that it won't be until November."

"Forget it, I didn't count on the U.S. market anyway." Lu Yang rubbed his forehead, "Apple has given us a trick in the United States, and when it enters the Chinese market, I will also let it understand our power." Lao Ye, don't come back yet, our tablet is about to be finalized, and it will be on the market in a few months, and you will make preparations for the tablet market in the United States. ”

"By the way, after all, you have worked in Silicon Valley for many years, and you know a lot about American electronics companies. During this time, you should keep an eye out and see if you can acquire some companies that are interested in image recognition technology. ”

At the end of the conversation, Lu Yang gave Ye Wenbing two tasks.

At the end of September, the reorganization of the original Tianxin Technology Company was officially completed, earlier than expected. The new Tianxin Group began to appear in the public eye, and Lu Yang's title also changed and became the chairman of Tianxin Group.

In the past six months, the domestic smartphone industry in China has developed rapidly, and major smartphone manufacturers have sprung up. However, overall, the four giants of Tianxin Electronics, Huawei Company, Yutian Electronics, and Lenovo Company occupy 90% of the share, and other companies start relatively backward.

However, after the Big Four, Meizu, OPPO, BBK, etc. followed, as well as Gionee, which is rapidly transforming, and Tianyu is also developing its own mobile phones. In general, the domestic smartphone market is becoming more and more competitive.

However, these have little to do with Tianxin Group. In the entire Chinese market, there is only one brand of high-end mobile phones, Xingkong, even if it is the earliest Warwick, which has the earliest start, it has positioned itself only in the low-end market.

Under the vigorous promotion of Lei Jun, Tianxin Group has changed the authorization strategy of the smart operating system. However, Lei Jun is not Lei Feng, and in the new licensing agreement, Lei Jun has used various means to protect the interests of Tianxin Electronics to the greatest extent. In order to avoid cultivating a strong opponent for himself, Lei Jun strictly implemented Lu Yang's original strategy, first-class things were used for himself, and second-rate things were sold to the outside world.

As of the end of September, the Wisdom Alliance accounted for 84% of the domestic smartphone market, which has expanded a lot compared with the previous 70%. The foreign strategy of the Smart Alliance has also been launched, and even South Korea's Samsung is interested in joining. However, Samsung intends to bet on both sides and does not give up on Android. Moreover, it wants to be able to get the code for the intelligent operating system.

Lei Jun vetoed these requests without hesitation.

Starting from the launch of the Honor mobile phone by Warwick, Lenovo also released its own mobile phone in May, and in the second half of the year, the Wisdom Alliance has two more brands, Meizu and OPPO. In total, the total smartphone sales of the Smart Alliance reached 27 million. Correspondingly, the Tianxin App Store has been improved, and the app has been downloaded more than 100 million times.
