Chapter 192: Apple vs. Samsung
In this competition, everyone must follow the rules, because the relevant departments are always watching. ~with~dream~small~say~ั~suimะตng~lฤ
However, in the normal competition, Xingchen Technology, which is equipped with two major artifacts, intelligent assistant and intelligent system, is almost invincible.
Compared with Xingchen Technology, which is killing all sides and grabbing the ground frantically, other mobile phone manufacturers are a little bleak and bleak.
No matter what kind of promotions are conducted, they can't recover from the plummeting sales drop.
Xingchen mobile phone to function, has been well known, in the face of other brands of mobile phone sales, they will directly ask:
"Is your phone a fully intelligent system? Can it be operated with full voice without interface? Can I use an AI assistant? โ
"If you can't, are you embarrassed to claim to be a smartphone?"
In the face of such a rhetorical question, other mobile phone sellers are simply unable to answer.
Such an essential gap is no longer something that can be bridged in terms of sales skills and capabilities.
When Xingchen's mobile phones were widely known, other brands of smartphones have been lowered to the same level as the feature phones of the year, and have been kicked out of the ranks of smartphones by users.
And between users, this is more straightforward:
"Want to buy a phone? What the! You're going to have to buy apples! You're out! The days of Android and Apple are over! โ
"Buy apples now, isn't this 49 years old when you joined the allergy block, and entered the palace as a eunuch in 1912!"
On this day, opposite Apple's Donghua branch, outside a large mobile phone store.
A poster of an Apple mobile phone that occupied the front wall was removed by the staff and replaced with a poster of a Xingchen mobile phone that had just been made.
On the opposite side of the store, in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall of the president's office of Apple Donghua Branch, the senior vice president of Dadonghua, Mr. Zou's face was completely green.
Mr. Zou clenched his teeth, reached out and clenched his fist, and punched the glass wall: "You wall grass, you snobs...... Hiss...... It hurts......"
Mr. Zou's fist was shocked by the glass wall to the bone marrow, holding his fist, he grinned back to the middle of the office, stood in front of his boss's desk, with a gloomy face, stretched out his hand and pointed out the window, and asked a few people in the office:
"You know what it is? This is not just a store with an advertisement, it is a represent, the defection of channel customers!
"This is not an isolated case, there are such things everywhere in the country, and they are happening all the time.
"The only thing that Xingchen Technology lacks, channels, is passively filling, and when they have completed the integration of these active channel distributors, they will be invincible in the world.
"You say, what should I do now?"
Several people in the office, assistant Lao Xu, the person in charge of the marketing department, the person in charge of the technology department, and the person in charge of the legal patent department, were all trembling, lowering their heads and not daring to look at Mr. Zou's face, and Lao Xu, who was originally sitting, also stood up.
They don't know how to do it, and if they knew how to do it, they wouldn't be here to listen to Mr. Zou's training.
When they came over, they wanted Mr. Zou to have an idea of what to do in the future.
Looking at the silent subordinates, Mr. Zou didn't get angry, roared angrily, and threw a large file on the table to the ground.
"Why don't you speak? One by one, aren't they usually quite able to say? Why don't you talk now? Tell me everything!
"Apple, which led the era of smartphones, is now being asked by users: Are you embarrassed to claim to be a smartphone? Do you think there is light on your face?
"Do you feel proud that the foundry that used to be fed by our orders is now riding on our heads with their own mobile phones? Proud? โ
"Talk! Are they all dumb? โ
The heads of various departments are lower.
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was too stiff, Lao Xu stood up and coughed and said to Mr. Zou:
"Old Zou! You calm down first, this is also a helpless thing, Xingchen Technology has an intelligent assistant, which no brand can stop. โ
After all, Lao Xu has been his partner for many years, and in the company, his status is not much lower than himself.
So although Mr. Zou was extremely depressed, he didn't get angry at Lao Xu, just snorted coldly, sat back in his chair, and lit a cigarette.
"Lao Xu, tell me what you think."
Lao Xu spread his hands: "My opinion is very simple, purely from the product, we can no longer compete with Xingchen Technology, there is no doubt about it, so the headquarters and the board of directors cannot punish us for this matter."
"What we need to do now is to accept this reality as soon as possible, change our mindset and minimize the damage as much as possible.
"Then brainstorm and discuss how we can survive in the market with Xingchen Technology."
"Hey......" Mr. Zou leaned on the back of the boss's chair, looked at the ceiling and sighed, and spit out a smoke ring, "I didn't expect that we also have today's ......"
Mr. Zou was about to say something when his mobile phone rang.
Mr. Zou sat up straight, took the mobile phone and looked at it, and when he saw the hidden number, Mr. Zou's pupils shrank suddenly, and he immediately extinguished the cigarette butt and connected the phone:
"How's it going over there? How did they cope? โ
After Mr. Zou finished asking, he began to wait for the answer from there, and after a few seconds, he stood up abruptly and asked with an incredible face:
"What do you say! You repeat! โ
Listening to Mr. Zou's voice, several representatives in the office couldn't help but raise their heads, and Lao Xu took a step forward and leaned over to Mr. Zou, trying to hear what was being said on the phone.
After a while, Mr. Zou laughed dryly, threw the phone on the table, sat back in his boss chair, and shouted a little irrationally:
"Haha...... Ha ha...... Samsung, damn it, confessed so quickly. โ
After listening to Mr. Zou's words, everyone present was stunned, especially Lao Xu, who immediately asked, "Lao Zou, what's the matter?" What happened to Samsung? โ
Lao Zou stopped laughing and said with a cold face: "Xingchen mobile phone is only sold in China, and the artificial intelligence-related products produced by Xingchen Technology have been included in the list of prohibited export commodities by the Donghua government from the very beginning.
"Therefore, Samsung has just made a decision to gradually withdraw from the Donghua smartphone market in the next year, and only retain low-end feature phones, as well as a few luxury series."
After listening to Mr. Zou's words, the people present remembered two idioms in their hearts:
The rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, and the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.
Once a competitor, now they are in sympathy.
The scene was silent for a while, and Lao Xu spoke again:
"In fact, we and Samsung's brand is not bad, we at least have a way out, we really can't hold on, we can directly give up the Donghua market.
"The most tragic thing is that Donghua's local brands are not the opponents of Xingchen Technology at all, but they have no way to escape, so they can only resist.
"As far as I know, many of their channels have also been invested in Xingchen Technology, and the proportion is larger than ours."
After listening to Lao Xu's words, Mr. Zou stood up again, walked to the front of the glass curtain wall, stretched out his finger and pointed to the mobile phone store across the road that was changing posters, and yelled at Lao Xu:
"Are we any different? You see, you look what that thing is! Their majority shareholder, last month, invited me to their house for dinner, and wanted a little more share of sales, you see what they are doing now?
"People's hearts are not ancient, the world is hot and cold, mercenary, and really villains!
Speaking of this, seeing that everyone didn't answer, Mr. Zou put his hands behind his back and paced back to his position:
"Then just now Lao Xu said that if we withdraw from the Donghua market and withdraw from the Donghua market, will we abolish the Donghua branch?
"So where are we going? Where will the headquarters let us go in the Donghua department? South America or Africa? โ
"Samsung has withdrawn, and we have also withdrawn, is this to give up the entire market to Xingchen Technology? Donghua, the world's largest market, has let Xingchen Technology dominate one by one...... ......"
When Mr. Zou said this, he seemed to think of something, so his voice stopped suddenly.
Mr. Zou's eyes turned around on the faces of Lao Xu and the legal counsel present, frowning and thinking about something.
Lao Xu has been Mr. Zou's partner for many years, and looking at Mr. Zou's reaction, he knew what he had in mind, so he asked:
"Lao Zou, what did you think of? If you think of it, say it quickly, and let everyone refer to it. โ
Mr. Zou sneered:
"It's not that I can't understand the situation, and I also understand that it is impossible for us to compete with Xingchen Technology, but they don't want to swallow the entire Donghua market so easily."
