[Chapter 236: Great Changes in the Industry]
Apple's two announcements at the press conference broke out in the technology circle, among which the mobile phone industry broke out of a 9-magnitude earthquake, and the major low-end brands are like big enemies.
At the press conference, Apple announced that its mobile phone business will shift to the low-end market after careful consideration, and announced that only its mobile phone business will fully withdraw from the Greater China market. Another piece of news,Apple then announced,Will reach a cooperation intention with Matrix TechnologyXlouS,Matrix Technology's subsidiary XlouS-Alpha's xiaoU assistant officially settled in Apple's major smart electronic devices,At the same time,XiaoUAssistant products involved,Matrix Technology will have 50% of the revenue。
After Apple's press conference, the announcement quickly dominated the news pages of the tech community.
The industry has changed dramatically.
It is not an exaggeration to use this word to describe it, no one thought that the matrix technology XlouS and Apple were fighting each other some time ago, and today they have become partners in the blink of an eye.
This case once again proves to the world that there is no eternal enemy, only eternal and unchanging interests, maybe today the two sides are still mortal enemies, tomorrow it may be that you have me, I have your partner, this is the shopping mall, there are countless such examples, but the impact between Matrix Technology and Apple is stronger to the world.
There is no doubt that the mobile phone industry has ushered in great changes again, Apple's iPhone business with xiaoU assistant to enter the low-end market, for the original manufacturers is simply a nightmare, the real wolf is coming.
AFP's media described the cooperation between the two sides very harshly, and the content of the article also had a hint of schadenfreude, with the news headline "Apple has become a worker of Matrix Technology", obviously this is for Matrix Technology to take half of the benefits from the press conference, in addition to providing a xiaoU assistant, almost nothing to pay, but 50% of the benefits were shared, no matter how you look at it, it is an extremely unfair transaction, it is simply working for Matrix Technology.
Americans once again feel the fear of being "dominated" by Asians, just like the eighties and nineties of the last century, the typical representative is Sony's globalization, at that time in the eyes of Europeans and Americans is the world to buy and buy, super rich, Sony's globalization is the representative of Japan's globalization!
Now it has been replaced by Sony Matrix Technology, and the same is still Asian, and the proud Apple has become the representative of the "fall". Unlike the wailing and anger of the disgruntled youth, Wall Street is a different story, with an article published on the front page of the Wall Street Journal highly praising Apple's approach, the transformation is painful, especially for the transformation of giants, which is not only painful and difficult, but Apple has clearly overcome these difficulties, and this article greatly appreciates Apple's courage.
Although it has divided a deal of interests that seems unacceptable to outsiders, according to Apple's current decline, if this deal is not completed, it will lose even more, or even decline. The content of the article emphasizes that the iPhone business carries xiaoU assistant to settle in the low-end area, this market will not have any competitors, especially the rising low-end market led by India, although for some reason to give up the current most dynamic and imaginative Greater China market, may be part of the compromise in the transaction, but the entire international market still has infinite imagination space, as long as the iPhone in the low-end area to maintain the glory of the past in the high-end area, the dominant position, The earnings will not be much lower, Apple is still a giant.
At the same time, the article pointed out that with the full entry of xiaoU assistant into Apple, it will not only become one of the sharp weapons of iPhone in the low-end area, but also have great hope of saving Apple's declining tablet business and making it rejuvenate. Although the impact of "S-2" will further shrink this market, it will not be too significant, "S-2" is oriented to the high-end area, Apple can aim at the low-end area, to be the overlord of the industry, and to become the real overlord of the low-end area in various businesses.
Excluding Matrix Technology, Apple is still the most competitive technology company in the world.
The wail or ridicule in the media doesn't mean much, the voice of Wall Street is the real bellwether, and as soon as the news broke, Apple's stock began to show a trend of gains.
Although the curve of the increase is not too frightening, the continued sharp rise in the stock price is the best proof of this, which shows that investors agree with Apple's decision and have high hopes.
In a trance, a press conference made the industry change dramatically again, and the voice of Wall Street agreed that it is not surprising that with the existing trend, the high-end area matrix technology in the industry will be the undisputed hegemon, and the low-end area will inevitably be dominated by Apple, and as other industry manufacturers and major brands in the low-end area, I am afraid that only Chinese brands will survive in the future, which is still because Apple does not enter the Greater China region.
Industry practitioners have finally discovered that the mobile phone industry that has been working hard for decades is about to begin to enter a new pattern, and the mobile phone industry that has been fighting into the red sea is finally coming to an end.
The international market will tend to stabilize, Matrix Technology and Apple will dominate the high-end and low-end areas respectively, the competition among major brands in Greater China will be more intense, and even foreign low-end brands will frantically enter the natural haven of Greater China, because only this market is the last safe haven for all low-end brands.
But obviously, domestic brands are dominant, foreign brands want to fight here, the same difficulties, and even no hope, waiting for them may only have two paths, either transformation, or bankruptcy, the third way is too difficult.
……
Two days later, it was called.
Crypton-Future-Media。 CRYPTON, abbreviated as CRYPTON, is a publicly traded audio production and music production company located in Sapporo, Hokkaido, with a current market capitalization of $749 million.
Matrix Technology acted very quickly, and the day after Ren Hong's instructions, one of its acquisition teams arrived at the company's office.
"President! President! "At a company office in Sapporo City, an assistant in an ultra-short uniform trotted into Hiroyuki Ito's office.
"Panic, do you want to be fired?" Hiroyuki Ito's face was gloomy, and in this book, masculinism is still very serious, and the assistant immediately apologized when he heard it.
"What's the matter?" Hiroyuki Ito, who is the main creator of Hatsune Miku's image and the head of the company, asked.
"President, XlouS visited our company."
"Matrix Technology? XlouS? Hiroyuki Ito was nothing at first, but it was only a second of dull time, his expression changed dramatically, regardless of the image of the gaffe, and he hurriedly asked: "Are you talking about the super tech giant company from China?" ”
"Yes, President. It's this company. The assistant said with great certainty.
"Did they get to the company?"
"Already in the VIP room."
Hiroyuki Ito didn't hesitate, didn't even have time to respond to a word, and hurriedly left his office.
He didn't know for what reason Matrix Technology was visiting, but no matter what the reason was, as long as he carried the name "Matrix Technology", there were 10,000 reasons for him to be treated as the first priority. Hiroyuki Ito controls a large company of hundreds of millions of dollars, which is barely a large company, and he is also famous in the world for Hatsune Miku, which can be regarded as having a certain influence.
But in the face of a real super giant, his capital is nothing at all, especially a giant company like Matrix Technology, as long as the person who comes is in the name of this company, the receptionist is not qualified except for Hiroyuki Ito.
Hiroyuki Ito is also very puzzled, how can a large group company like Matrix Technology buy several CRYPTON with the mantissa of a subsidiary's annual and monthly revenue and profits? He couldn't figure it out.
