Chapter 990: New Year's Day Goes on Sale
"Mr. Yoshishima, you Nintendo were the first to propose cooperation, so I will be the first to reply to you."
Looking at Nintendo's side, Zhang Ning said.
"Your company may be experienced with console hardware, but, sorry, we don't need your hardware technology. Of course, if you are interested in developing games for the Meizu generation, we welcome this cooperation at any time. β
It's just a pity that Nintendo's side was not satisfied with Zhang Ning's reply and chose to refuse.
"Mr. Yoshishima, this is what you rejected us. However, if you Nintendo want to develop a game for Nintendo alone one day, then we will also refuse, and I hope you don't regret it. β
After replying to Nintendo, Zhang Ning quickly replied to the person in charge of the second company.
The second company to propose cooperation to Zhang Ning is Samsung.
Samsung is a South Korean company, and Zhang Ning has never been interested in Korean companies.
Not only is he not interested, Zhang Ning still has some hatred for South Korea.
It is also a direct answer, "I admit that your company is ahead of other manufacturers in LCD panel technology, but I am not interested in just providing LCD panels and other cooperation." If you really want to cooperate, don't like you and me to jointly create a new LCD panel, what do you think? β
"Hehe, Mr. Zhang Ning, do you want to absorb our Samsung's LCD panel technology in this cooperation, we won't agree."
Samsung's Cui Jiu shook his head.
Zhang Ning didn't care, and said calmly, "Mr. Cui, I just want to say." Now I am talking about this cooperation is to look up to you Samsung, I don't want to be a few years later, you Samsung want to cooperate with us, there is no chance. β
After Samsung, there is Sony.
Sony's previous proposed cooperation points to the Meizu Game Store.
Zhang Ning felt a little funny in his heart, how could such an important business be taken out?
"Mr. Songzhizhu, do you think that our Penguin Company is all stupid, and we will actually put the core business in your hands. Oh, it's no wonder that Sony has been regressing in recent years. I think, otherwise, I have a cooperation I would like to talk to you Sony, and if you don't want your mobile phone business, you can consider selling it to us. If you sell it now, I will definitely give you a satisfactory price, how about it? β
Sony's Pine Pillar is also a refusal.
followed by Sanyo, which produces batteries, for Sanyo, Zhang Ning had not had much contact with it before, so he didn't say anything, shook his head, and refused.
Zhang Ning replied to the cooperation of more than a dozen IT giants in one breath.
Although the reasons for replying were different, the results were all the same, and Zhang Ning rejected them all.
"Bill, now reply to your Microsoft cooperation."
Finally, there are two more to reply.
Microsoft vs. Nokia.
Originally, there was still Apple, but because Zhang Ning agreed to Jobs' cooperation, there was no longer a need to reply.
"Okay, Zhang Ning, I know what you mean, you're refusing, aren't you?"
Bill didn't need Zhang Ning to reply, he had guessed.
"Hehe, it seems that Mr. Bill still understands me."
Zhang Ning smiled.
However, Zhang Ning continued.
"Mr. Bill, although I refuse, I would like to say a few more words to you."
"What?"
"Do you think you can still have a monopoly on Windows for a few years?"
"What do you mean?"
Bill looked at Zhang Ning coldly.
"Hehe, Bill, don't look at me like that. So, I'll answer this question for you. β
"10 years."
Zhang Ning replied affirmatively, "Within 10 years, Windwos will completely end the monopoly market." β
After Zhang Ning finished speaking, the scene was in an uproar.
Everyone looked at Zhang Ning, although they knew that in terms of market value, Microsoft's market value was indeed inferior to Penguin.
However, sometimes a company is not evaluated based on its market capitalization.
Take the replaceable and the irreplaceable.
There is no substitute for Microsoft Windows.
As for Penguin Facebook, Penguin Video Site, Penguin Mall...... And so on, he can be replaced.
Even the Meizu generation, although these people also think it is good, they just think it is good, and it is far from reaching the market position of Windows.
"Everyone, I know that you may not believe it, or you will say that I, Zhang Ning, am not self-sufficient. Now you can think whatever you want, but, Mr. Bill, you should know what kind of person I am. In my opinion, you should study it carefully, and how to keep the Windows market in the future is the key. As for calling some people, thinking they could threaten me? Mr. Bill, I told you a long time ago that even in the whole world, we penguins are not afraid now. β
This madman.
This guy is crazy.
In this way, we don't need to unite, and the penguins will be played to death by Zhang Ning himself.
Listening to Zhang Ning's words, the major IT giants on the scene discussed from time to time.
It's just that Bill, who is on the side, has a heavy face.
He believes.
Everyone is crazy, and Zhang Ning won't be crazy.
It's just that there have always been some things I don't understand in my heart.
Does Zhang Ning really think that he can be the enemy of the whole world now?
What is he relying on?
Could it be that it is the Meizu generation that he has developed now?
However, Zhang Ning is unlikely to answer Bill's question.
After replying to Bill, Zhang Ning looked to Nokia's side.
"Mr. Lope, you must have understood the previous answer."
When Zhang Ning replied to Sony, he mentioned mobile phones.
Zhang Ning believes that I'm afraid, not only Luopu, but everyone at the scene understands Zhang Ning's thoughts.
"Yes, Zhang Ning, I understand, I didn't expect that you penguins also want to enter the mobile phone industry. It seems that we may be competitors in the future. β
"Actually, we can also be collaborators, I don't know if Nokia has any idea of selling."
"Oh, no, Zhang Ning, we just want to say that no matter how rich you penguins are, you can't buy all the businesses. Furthermore, we at Nokia have no idea of selling. However, I can advise you that the mobile phone business is not so easy to do. Back then, a giant company once had the idea of making mobile phones, but its vitality was greatly damaged, and it has not risen so far. β
The company that Lop is talking about is Apple.
When Apple shocked the world, Jobs announced plans to enter the mobile phone business.
However, Jobs's mobile phone plan failed.
It was also because of the failure of the mobile phone plan that Jobs was kicked out of Apple.
Eventually, after a series of blows, Apple fell from the top of the world to the second rate in the world.
"Thank you, Mr. Lopp, for your advice, but I would also like to give Nokia a word of advice. Please Nokia better hold on for a little longer, I don't want to be because after we Penguin enter the mobile phone business, there will be no rivals. β
"Hmph, Zhang Ning, you overestimate yourself."
"Thank you, Mr. Lope, I'm actually quite humble."
If it really follows the path of later generations, Nokia will not be able to hold out for long.
On the contrary, after the advent of smartphones, Noki only lasted a few years before selling to Microsoft.
In the end, Microsoft was also pitted by Nokia, which was bought back with tens of billions of dollars, and finally by 2015, it was only a few billion dollars in market value, and it lost a lot of money.
A negotiation that broke up unhappily between the two parties.
"Mr. Zhang, are we too high-profile?"
Huang Zhang on the side asked Zhang Ning weakly.
"It's not high-profile or low-key, they clearly want to threaten us, how can we lose our prestige,"
"Mr. Zhang, I am mainly worried about our smartphones in the future. Just now, why did you just say that we are also developing smartphones, and if they are prepared, it will be very bad for us. β
"Huang Zhang, don't worry. From the Meizu generation to smartphones, it's not just a call function. Even if we don't say that we will enter the smartphone market, these giants, they will think of it. I just deliberately wanted to say that I just wanted them to take some more detours. Do you think that real smartphones are so easy to develop? Well, regardless of them, let's prepare for the sales business of the Meizu generation. β
β¦β¦
"Bill, if I had known, I wouldn't have gone to the penguins."
The members of the Microsoft alliance returned to the United States from China in a depressed manner, and Nokia's Lopp was the first to quarrel.
"Yes, Bill, you think too highly of Zhang Ning."
Sony, on the other hand, also said.
"Bill, this is your mistake, Zhang Ning has never paid attention to you, your plan has failed."
Nintendo, on its side, is also blaming Bill.
"Okay, let's stop arguing, if we continue to quarrel like this, I'm afraid, it won't be long before we are defeated by the Penguin Company. The Meizu generation is about to surging soon, don't you think, we should make some preparations? β
Bill was annoyed by what some of them said, and some said angrily.
"Bill, I'm sorry, I don't want to discuss it anymore, I still have important things to do."
Nokia doesn't care what Bill's mood is.
Others want to see Microsoft's face, but they don't want Nokia.
"Lope, what do you mean, are you going to quit? You know, you took the initiative to join the camp in the first place. What do you want to do now, do you want Nokia to develop a smartphone? Oh, Lope, you're naΓ―ve. Zhang Ning must be inducing you, if you really develop these, then your Nokia will definitely be finished. β
"It's our business if it's over, I'll say no more, goodbye."
Despite Bill's dissuasion, Loop never looked back and left the Microsoft Alliance.
"Bill, I'm sorry, I have some things to do, so I'll leave first."
Seeing Nokia Loop leave, Sony's Pine Pillar also followed.
"Songzhizhu, you Sony don't want to make smartphones too."
Bill asked.
"I'm only in charge of the game part, and whether the company will develop into the smartphone part is not something I can do. However, I would like to go back and reply to the head office about the content of this negotiation. β
Subsequently, Nintendo, Sega, etc., left one after another.
"Bill, do you think we're making a fuss?"
In the end, only Google's Page remained.
"How?"
"I mean, we're not putting too much emphasis on penguins. Although Penguin is the world's largest company by market capitalization, I have worked with Penguin, and just like you, I attach great importance to Penguins. But now it seems that there are times when it seems unnecessary to pay too much attention to it. Besides, isn't the Meizu generation still officially on sale? β
"Page, do you want to see a miracle happen, or, do you think it's impossible for the Meizu generation to cause a sensation?"
"Why do you say that?"
"Because I'm afraid that after you see the sales records of the Meizu generation, I'm afraid we won't even have a chance to take precautions."
Page was a little silent.
Perhaps, he also sensed that a crisis had come.
Still, he said.
"Bill, maybe you're right. Just, what can we do now? β
"We ......"
Bill was a little stunned.
What can we do?
In terms of media propaganda, they are no match for penguins when they join forces.
As for alliances, it seems that their alliances are of little use to penguins.
Bill has some regrets.
He felt that his alliance was in danger of being destroyed by Zhang Ning.
Nokia's departure just now was obviously fooled by Zhang Ning.
Bill's vague understanding that no matter what they do, it seems that they can't stop the current penguins.
It is even more impossible to stop the new Meizu generation.
It's a brand new product, a Microsoft company, Google company, Sony company, Nokia company...... And so on all the IT giant companies, never involved in the business.
For such a strange product, what means do you use to deal with him?
β¦β¦
Time passed slowly.
In the anticipation of countless fans around the world, the Meizu generation announced the latest news.
There are two new news.
The first is the time of the official sale.
The official sales time is the global unified sales, which is scheduled for January 1, 2005 and New Year's Day.
The second is the sales price of the Meizu generation.
Because of the differences between countries and regions around the world, Penguin was the first to publish prices for only one country.
2999 yuan.
This is the price of the Meizu generation in China.
When this price was announced, a group of domestic fans couldn't stop crying.
2999 yuan, equivalent to 3000 yuan.
3,000 yuan for the Meizu generation, such a price is really high.
Indeed, for most people, they will think that the price of 2999 yuan is something they can't accept.
Because the salary of most friends in China was only more than 1,000 yuan in 2005.
2999, two months' salary is required.
Damn, it's too expensive, do you want to buy it?
Zhang Ningda, you killed us, while manufacturing such an innovative product, and selling it so expensive, do you want us to buy it, or buy it, or buy it.
What are you worried about, buy, of course you have to buy, this is simply an alien product, don't buy it and regret it.
Nima, finally China has come up with such a bullish fork product, and I have to buy it when I sell my kidney.
Okay, Zhang Ning, you won, although it is more expensive, I will definitely buy it.
Some people on this side of the country shout expensive, and some people buy expensive too.
Relatively speaking, there were no surprises.
Although the price of 2999 is relatively high, it is not unacceptable.
Moreover, the Meizu shown by the Meizu generation is really difficult to resist.
Spend two months' salary to buy a Meizu generation, even if there are some reluctance, gritting your teeth to buy it.
In any case, such an innovative and technological product.
Even these users feel in their hearts that he is worth the price, although it is a little expensive.
It's just that, compared with the domestic and international version of the sales price, it really makes people want to cry without tears.
$1000.
This is the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, France...... and other dozens of developed countries of the unified price.
