Chapter 63: Feitong P10
After the acquisition of Proton, Zhao Hongbing further consolidated his position as the richest man in China, with assets of 40 billion Huaxia dollars, and Wang Linjian, the second-ranked Huaxia real estate developer, only had 20 billion Huaxia dollars.
Before the IPO of the Aladdin Ding Meixin Exchange, Ma Fei could not shake Zhao Hongbing's position as the richest man for the time being.
On the one hand, Zhao Hongbing is strengthening the cooperation with Liu Huadong of Didong Network, and directly injected about 20 billion Huaxia coins into Didong Network to fight against Aladdin in the Double 11 event, on the other hand, Zhao Hongbing also noticed that Caiguo Company has some new moves recently, so he has been urging Ralph Kun to develop a new Feitong flagship mobile phone.
Caiguo and Feitong have been competing for about four years in the smartphone market, and after Buchos's death, although the gap between Caiguo and Feitong still exists, it has narrowed a lot.
In terms of the market share of smartphones, in the world, Caiguo occupies about 60% of the share, Feitong is 30%, and before Buchos's death, this data is 70% and 15%, in China, the gap between the two is smaller, Caiguo occupies a share of 40%, Feitong is 38%.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Hongbing hopes to use a new flagship machine to become popular directly, and then surpass Caiguo to become the largest smartphone manufacturer in Huaxia and even in the world.
"I'm afraid it's still a little difficult, Pete, although our P9 has adopted a 28 million rear camera, but the imaging effect is still quite average, unless it is ......" Ralph Kun said here, himself a little hesitant.
"Just say what you want, you don't need to be like this." Zhao Hongbing responded.
Zhao Hongbing knows very well that in fact, Ralph just wants to say that Feitong's current photography department is still too bad to build a terrific mobile phone camera.
"Unless we can buy Calle, we might be able to improve the P10's camera by using their camera technology." Ralph Kun spoke his mind.
"Kale? I was already talking to their Wallace president about the acquisition, but he mentioned that the matter needed to be agreed by the Reiffin government, and the matter was put on hold. Zhao Hongbing continued to explain.
Sweden is a well-known welfare country in Northern Europe, although it is also a country where liberalism is prevalent, but Carlisle is a large multinational corporation, and the government is naturally very cautious about the acquisition of Carlisle by foreign companies.
Because once Feitong really acquires Carlis, it is likely that Carliselle's company will be relocated to China or countries closer to China, which not only reduces human capital but also reduces logistics costs, which is naturally a cost-effective deal for the Ruifen government, you know, Carlis, a big financier, can provide about 8 billion euros in taxes to the Ruifen government every year, which is the annual GDP of a small city in Ruifen.
"In that case...... I'll think about it again! But maybe there's no good way, and I hope you can do more activities here! Ralph Kun said helplessly.
Zhao Hongbing is not unaware of Ralph's dilemma, after all, the world's best cameras and the best lenses are produced by Carlis, and the acquisition of Carlisle is very important for the listing of Feitong P10.
For this reason, Zhao Hongbing once again flew to Ruifen to meet Wallace, the president of Carlis, and this time, Wallace's attitude was obviously much more relaxed.
"20 billion euros, 50% of the shares, I can ask the board of directors to talk to you, but there must be a representative of the Reiffin government, if you can convince both sides, maybe we can really become colleagues." Wallace said with a smile.
"Really? Wall, thank you so much! Zhao Hongbing affectionately called the other party nickname.
Subsequently, Zhao Hongbing readily agreed to the other party's offer, and Wallace introduced Zhao Hongbing, so that he could meet with other members of the board of directors of Carlis, and the two sides reached a preliminary cooperation intention, and Zhao Hongbing's Feitong invested 21 billion euros, accounting for 53% of Carlis' shares, becoming the largest shareholder of Carlis.
However, Aarti, the representative of the Ruifen government and the deputy minister of commerce of Ruifen, rejected the plan, pointing out that Feitong was a hostile takeover, so he rejected the acquisition plan.
Zhao Hongbing was not discouraged, after the meeting, he found Wallace and learned that Aarti was actually lustful and greedy for money, because he didn't have anything to do with him, so he naturally didn't accept this plan.
"It's easy to do." Zhao Hongbing directly found ten good-looking dust girls from the largest underground nightclub in Amsterdem, the capital of Refin, and also bought a truckload of Aarti's favorite German fire shochu from Germany, and sent it to Aarti's mansion, including a suitcase containing 10 million euros.
Soon, Aarti changed his tune, and he agreed to the acquisition on behalf of the Ruifen government, but the Ruifen government still added a condition to restrict Zhao Hongbing, that is, even if Zhao Hongbing became the first shareholder, he must put the Carlisle company in Ruifen, and only in this way can they agree to the acquisition of Feitong.
Zhao Hongbing knows very well that all he needs is Kalai's technology, as for whether the company is placed in Huaxia or not, it actually has little impact, at most it is to pay millions more logistics fees every year, but what Feitong can get is not just a few million per year.
"No problem!"
The two parties reached an acquisition intention, and the acquisition was completed in the Ruifen Capital International Hotel, which got Carlis, a large company that produces cameras, and naturally also got Carliss Zeiss, the world's best camera lens department.
Through two-way cooperation, Feitong Mobile Communications Department received the full support of Carlis Zeiss, and finally installed Carliss Zeiss cameras on Feitong P10 mobile phones, so that the rear pixels of Feitong P10 reached an astonishing 41 million, which is a single-lens reflex camera-level pixel!
Feitong P10 under the banner of 41 million, high-profile listing, immediately attracted the attention of the industry, the media and consumers, especially the die-hard fans of Feitong, P10* was sold out on major online business websites, and Feitong's offline mobile phone * stores were endless, triggering a "P10" frenzy.
With the strength of Feitong P10, in the tenth year of Zhao Hongbing's establishment of Feitong, and the fifth year of the establishment of the mobile phone department, Feitong mobile phone surpassed Caiguo mobile phone for the first time, accounting for 60% of the annual sales share of the Chinese mobile phone market, and became a well-deserved giant in the Chinese mobile phone market.
And Feitong P10 has also become the emperor of the year, the annual sales reached 200 million units, this is a very terrifying data, because the number of sales of each model of various mobile phone manufacturers throughout the year is only 500 million units, and Feitong P10 accounts for almost half, in other words, two people in the world have two people in their hands holding Feitong P10 mobile phone, this is a data worthy of all employees of Feitong are proud of!
If Buchos were still alive, he would probably be surprised by this achievement.
