In the early spring of March, everything grows. The Hatsune Group's sophisticated and huge machine, lubricated by sufficient funds, is poised for the next wave of onslaught.

In the Chinese Internet world, the battle between Hatsune and Fuji Xun is intensifying. On the other side of the ocean, a small incident that had been delayed by Gu Mojie for nearly half a year finally happened quietly, and I have to repeat it.

IN MID-FEBRUARY, AFTER HALF A YEAR OF HASTY AND EXPEDITED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, APPLE FINALLY ANNOUNCED THE 16G VERSION OF THE IPHONE, AND SET THE PRICE OF THIS VERSION OF THE IPHONE AT $199 VIOLENTLY - IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA OF THIS PRICE, YOU CAN LOOK AT THE COMPARISON HALF A YEAR AGO, WHEN THE 8G IPHONE WAS SOLD FOR $599.

Therefore, this wave of facts has reduced the price by a very drastic magnitude. The capacity has been doubled, but the price has been cut by two-thirds. However, Jobs managed to keep the long-term business credibility of Apple's products through the gesture of "the price of the announced version will never be reduced", so as not to leave people with the saying "the sooner you buy Apple, the more you will suffer".

THE REASON FOR THE PRICE REDUCTION IS, OF COURSE, BECAUSE THE PRICE IN THE SECOND HALF OF LAST YEAR WAS MORE EXPENSIVE, RESULTING IN TOO LOW IPHONE SHIPMENTS, AND THE MAJOR APP PARTNER SOFTWARE VENDORS HAVE STOPPED AND WAITED AND WATCHED, SO THAT APPLE'S IPHONE ECOLOGY HAS NOT BEEN CULTIVATED FOR A LONG TIME. Jobs learned from the pain and had to do so.

Because of Gu Mojie and Google's joint scourge sniping, Apple's IOS system lost at least a four-month window - originally this period could be used to open the gap with the yet-to-be-launched Android APP ecosystem, which Apple spent a lot of secret research and development costs to win.

Apple has finally begun to run the enclosure, but there are only two or three months left before the completion of the Android system, and it may only be half a year before the first Android mobile phone comes out. In the original history, Apple's advantage in the APP ecosystem, which has accumulated more than one year more than other smartphone systems, may now only have an advantage of eight or nine months.

……

Of course, Gu Mojie also heard about the movements of Apple on the other side of the ocean, but he didn't have time to deal with it for the time being.

There are only 20 days left before Hatsune Entertainment's first round of IPO. The company bosses are busy and attend all kinds of activities, just like masked actors, no one knows how deep the water is.

However, all the official press conferences were done by Ye Weilun, the company's COO.

And Lu Wenjun, who is said to be one of the "co-founders of Hatsune Entertainment", also began to appear in front of the public, helping to build momentum and answer some questions.

For the first time, the public media had the opportunity to show the camera of this beautiful "co-founder", and did not hesitate to call Lu Wenjun "the first beauty in the Internet industry" - this point is the most unquestionable, although Lu Wenjun is not a genius, but just in the so-called "beautiful president" in the whole world, there is really no more beautiful than her.

As for Lu Wenjun's past within Hatsune, a lot of information is still secretive, and only a few points are very public and confirmed:

First of all, this Lu Wenjun did join the company when it was just created, and he did a lot of things in the early days. Maybe the investment is really not much, but luck, the timing is good, as the original veteran, it is worth more than 15% of the shares of Hatsune Entertainment.

Secondly, Lu Wenjun and Gu Mojie have been classmates for more than 10 years. That's why I seized the opportunity to accompany each other to endure hardships and open up wasteland, and reaped the exaggerated rate of return now.

As for whether Lu Wenjun had anything else to do with Gu Mojie, and whether he was the proprietress of the Hatsune Group, he could only keep his mouth shut for the time being, and outsiders were not qualified to discuss this issue.

In addition to Ye Weilun and Lu Wenjun, Zou Sheng and Steven have faced more media recently.

However, there is no Gu Mojie, the most important boss in the IPO, and Gu Yongjiang, the CFO. The media with a keen sense of smell has already begun to discuss: what are these two bigwigs doing behind the scenes? When the company pulls investment, how can the CFO not be there? How could the boss not be there?

……

March 18, Beijing.

Gu Mojie has been in the capital for a while. He personally went to Beijing and focused on three things.

The first is to find Vice Minister Yang of the Ministry of Culture to make friends a little more, and take the opportunity of the two meetings to understand some trends and pave the way for some overseas mergers and acquisitions after the successful IPO of Hatsune Entertainment -- in China, there have been many cases where Chinese companies have been obstructed by the Ministry of Culture when they want to buy foreign game companies, film and television companies, and import products.

Be careful, take the time to burn the cold stove of Vice Minister Yang, and by the way, inquire about other parts such as the edition-signature, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, whether there is anything to ventilate, and by the way, it is all dotted. lest when the money is melted up, you want to spend it but can't spend it.

The second thing is to do it easily, and there was no need for a big guy like Gu Mojie to come out in person - the video information collected by Hatsune Intelligence in the past two months "copycat mobile phones generally do not comply with the national standard / international standard of RF design, and the weak signal environmental radiation exceeds the standard seriously" and other video information, in the name of the packaged third-party testing agency, sent to the manager of the CCTV 315 evening program.

This kind of thing is a must, but paid journalism must also be done. From the director of the station to the business department below, it was only a million dollars to poke this show out.

On the night of 315, it was said that the ratings were not bad, and the next day, the major domestic copycat manufacturers who were not very good jumped out to defend themselves. But everyone still saw a sad atmosphere - the once hot, fast-changing concept of copycat machines is finally going to cool down.

3G is coming, and the era of reintegrating the market after the giants reshuffle the cards is coming back.

Today, Gu Mojie has to do the third thing.

He had paid a visit to Cardinal Qi - to be exact, since three days earlier, the penultimate day of the two sessions, it was time to change his name to Vice President Qi. Of course, Cardinal Qi still holds the position of the cardinal office of the imperial court.

……

Forbidden City, South China Sea.

"It's a great honor to summon you in the midst of your busy schedule." Gu Mojie sat on the mahogany guest seat, and he felt a little awkward. Especially the tea with blue and white bowls on both sides, there is a bit of a costume drama.

Of course, apart from some of the furnishings and tea sets, the rest of the office facilities have been renovated quite modernly.

Cardinal Qi smiled gently, and his squinting eyes, which had been low-key for several years, also showed a little sagit.

"It's been a couple of years, you tell me for yourself. I've never seen you afraid of heaven and earth, and there are times when you shrink back like today. ”

Gu Mojie laughed with him: "Where, I'm not afraid now, isn't this respect." ”

Cardinal Qi was noncommittal, and made clear the words of summoning Gu Mojie today:

"Two days ago, U.S. Ambassador Red approached me and mentioned you. Said you were in tandem with a group of people, and they all stabbed Rice? ”

"What's the matter! It's definitely not that big, even if someone in the US State Department knows about it, it is also handled by the people below, how can it alarm the Secretary of State himself. Gu Mojie hurriedly denied it, scratching his head and explaining,

"Actually, I was also willful, and I had contact with a few academic leaders and old professors of Qian University and Peking University a while ago, and they said that the Democratic Party in the United States was in the limelight this year, and the Democratic Party primaries had already been decided, and Hillary Clinton lost to a black ******. Think tanks have analyzed that a black presidential candidate means paying attention to political correctness and falling in love with the platform, and we are just sure to operate the matter of getting Mr. Stuart Redden's bones back.

What's more, the domestic atmosphere has also improved in the past two years, and Chairman Mao's "Farewell Situ Leiden" has no influence, and it is time to correct the name of "old friends of the Chinese people". I was moved by what they said, so I donated some money, used a little bit of business connections in the United States, and gathered 100,000 signatures to the White House -- you know, American law, people put together 100,000 petitions, and George W. Bush had to respond. ”

Gu Mojie only said the words of the official in his words, and he didn't dare to say that it was because he happened to hear about this incident when he entered the church with Quan Bao'er.

Cardinal Qi's eyes were clear, and he sneered contemptuously: "That's not a big deal, you can just do it yourself." I think the 'political correctists' on the American side are quite happy, and even regard this incident as their political victory, thinking that we have denied the original argument of the article "Farewell to Situ Leiden", and it is estimated that after the matter is completed, Ambassador Reid will personally attend the ceremony, and you can accompany him at that time. If they want to laugh at themselves, let them laugh at themselves. ”

"You're old and wise." Gu Mojie had a sentence to answer, which was very simple and decent. After stealing a look at Cardinal Qi, he mentioned another topic on the snake stick, "Cardinal Qi, in fact, I originally planned to go to the United States at the end of the month or May after the IPO of Hatsune Entertainment in April......

Cardinal Qi finally became truly curious: "What can you do that 'little things that benefit the country and the people'?" ”

"Actually, since a year and a half ago, when I set up a non-profit organization in the United States called Khan Academy, I have been thinking about joining forces with the Jewish consortium in the United States to do something: sniping at the U.S. federal government's law that 'tax-deductible basic research donations cannot be used for projects outside the United States'.

This is mainly the work of the Jews, who are very eager to get back to Israel the tax-deductible donations for basic scientific research in the United States, and I am following behind. NOW THIS MATTER IS GRADUALLY GAINING EYEBROWS, AND THE NUMBER OF VOTES IN THE LOBBY OF THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IS ALMOST THE SAME; In addition, there is a black candidate on the Democratic Party's side, and the Democratic Party will definitely continue to play the card of political correctness and equality and fraternity for the sake of electoral interests, so it is estimated that if such an amendment to the bill is proposed at this time, the votes of the Democratic Party in both houses will be more inclined to favor -- I am going to go to the United States this time, and I will put this matter to an end with a push. ”

Why is the United States becoming more and more politically correct after '08? In fact, it has something to do with the fact that after the black president came to power, it was difficult to ride a tiger. Because choosing a black person means "finally equal in skin color", and if there is only equality in skin color, and inequality in race, national borders, and other issues, the White Lotus and the Virgin Mary will come out and attack: you see, the so-called equality is hypocritical, just selective equality.

In that case, the Democratic re-election machine will lose its inertia, and their biggest card will not be able to be played. Sometimes, on the one hand, the consortium wants to do its own thing during the weak presidential term, and on the other hand, it is not easy to stop after the inertia of the political correctness card is played.

Even if you know that the White Lotus is harming your country and loving the world, the "democracy" force has to be finished with tears.

And for other rival countries, what to do is, of course, to blow you up unceremoniously while you are pretending to be the Virgin.

Cardinal Qi obviously didn't quite understand, thought about it, and asked cautiously: "Why don't you toss me, I just want to know, if you do it, what will be the benefit to us?" ”

Gu Mojie said bluntly: "Of course, it will be the scourge of the United States' investment in basic scientific research in the next four or even eight years." As soon as this law is amended, the largest part of the investment in non-profit basic scientific research in the United States will be loosened. There is a chance that a lot of money will not be donated in the United States, but will go to Israel. Even donations to China are not unheard of -- although most Chinese-Americans don't love China much.

But I can at least guarantee that in the future, if the Hatsune Group's U.S. companies make a lot of money and need to pay income tax to the federal government, I can avoid most of the federal taxes by donating to non-profit basic research institutions - and of course, the research funds I donate will eventually be used by institutions in China. In the future, other profit-making institutions with Chinese investment in the United States can also steal some of the taxes that should have been handed over to the federal government back to China to engage in basic scientific research. ”

Cardinal Qi's pupils contracted violently. I couldn't help but stand up and paced two steps.

"This is good for the country and the people. Tell me, do you want any support for this? If not, I don't believe you'll come to deal with the government. ”

Gu Mojie sneered: "Actually, it's nothing. It's this kind of thing, and there are a lot of unsightly expenses. Now that I am so professional, I also know how to serve the country, but I will not ask the country for benefits. I'm afraid that these unspeakable expenses will be too much, and the people from the Securities and Regulatory Commission will trouble me -- as you know, I will have a subsidiary listed next month. ”

"You kid, you're a thief." Cardinal Qi was almost annoyed by Gu Mojie's roundabouts.

Gu Mojie was overjoyed, knowing that the other party had agreed.

Hurriedly hit the snake with the stick: "Since you also think that this matter is for the benefit of the country and the people." Otherwise, there are several first-level brokerages for underwriting in this IPO. We are willing to give up some of the brokerage level ......"

(500 words are omitted for high risk, and the tricks in this cannot be written.) ）

Gu Mojie left the Forbidden City with a relaxed and happy heart.

Originally, 15% of Hatsune Entertainment's public shares should have directly entered the secondary market through brokers. Now, 5% of the votes have been inexplicably transferred, and the difference between the new stock price and the final transaction price has been given to the relevant departments.

As for whether the relevant departments will hold it for a long time or flash after making the difference, Gu Mojie can't care.

What he got in exchange was a verbal promise.

The Securities and Futures Commission will not trouble him in the future about the abnormal flow of funds in the stock "Hatsune Entertainment". As long as he doesn't go too far, as long as he ensures that "Hatsune Entertainment" has a little profit on its books every year and symbolically distributes dividends to shareholders.

To tell the truth, even so, Gu Mojie is already very worthy of Chinese shareholders. In the A-share market, how many stocks have made profits year after year before listing and lost money immediately after listing. Hatsune Entertainment can ensure that it is profitable every year, but the difference between earning more and earning less is definitely a conscience stock in China. (To be continued.) )
