No. 205 Sudden Variables

The new governor of Hedong Province has no good relationship with Panyang City, but after all, he will not try his best to contain Panyang City like Hai Dafu.

In March 2008, in view of the fact that Panyang City's GDP ranked second in the province and had a bright prospect of continuing to make great strides forward, Hedong Province greatly raised the political status of Panyang City, and appointed Song Ningxing as Vice Governor of Hedong Provincial Government, a member of the Party Leadership Group, and Secretary of the Panyang Municipal Party Committee.

Song Ningxing was already at the deputy department level a long time ago, but unfortunately he was suppressed by the fourth generation of Xue Zang for ten years. Taking advantage of the fact that the four generations let go after they ascended the throne, Song Ningxing took advantage of Jing Minqiang and the Gong family behind him to jump to Panyang City decisively. In just three years, Song Ningxing took advantage of the economic rise of Panyang City and got the hat of vice governor, and the administrative level was mentioned to the vice provincial level.

Within a few months, Mu Guanting, the former secretary of the Panyang Municipal Party Committee, became the vice governor; Song Ningxing, the former mayor of Panyang City and the current secretary of the Panyang Municipal Party Committee, also became vice governor.

Such a scenario is not common.

Song Ningxing overtook in the corner to catch up with Mu Guanting, which proved that the influence of Panyang City began to radiate to the whole province and the whole country.

Panyang City can have today, on the one hand, it is due to Song Ningxing's policy cooperation, and on the other hand, it is driven by Wei Dongsheng's investment and intelligent factory technology. Looking back at the list of the top 500 in China with turnover in 2007, Spring and Autumn Group ranked 347th with 13.58 billion yuan, a slight increase from last year's 356th, Zhuwei Group ranked 104th with 43.16 billion yuan, compared with last year's 200th, an extremely high improvement, and Zhiyu Group ranked 60th with 83.01 billion yuan, compared with last year's 103rd, also a significant increase.

Among the three companies, Spring and Autumn Group has the most fame, but the lowest turnover.

However, we must not underestimate the spring and autumn.

As a typical Internet enterprise, the profit margin of Spring and Autumn Group is extremely high, with a turnover of 13.58 billion yuan and a net profit of 3.09 billion yuan, while Zhuwei Group has a turnover of 43.16 billion yuan and a net profit of only 990 million yuan. With less than half of the turnover of Zhuwei Group, the Spring and Autumn Group has reaped three times the net profit of Zhuwei Group, and the former has almost ten times the efficiency of making money. Of course, Zhuwei Group also has the advantages of Zhuwei Group, which provides a large number of jobs for Panyang City, especially low-threshold general workers, which are often calculated in 100,000 yuan.

Zhuwei Group's contribution to Panyang City is far beyond the reach of Spring and Autumn Group.

The reason why Zhuwei Group and Zhiyu Group have doubled their turnover is that the mobile phone business has played an extremely important role.

Looking back on 2007, Zhiyu Technology sold a total of 9.67 million mobile phones, of which 8.98 million were Sapientia_3G smart phones. Compared with the sales of 150 million mobile phones in the Chinese market and the sales of 1.1 billion mobile phones in the global market, Zhiyu Technology's mobile phone shipments and Sapientia_3G smart phone shipments seem to be very inconspicuous.

But if the market is narrowed down to smartphones or smart phones, Zhiyu Technology's performance is suddenly brilliant to dazzling.

Since Apple's iPhone is not sold in China, _3G smartphones have stormed the Chinese mobile phone market, Nokia Symbian smartphones have been regarded as a symbol of backwardness in China, and everyone prefers to use the new word of smartphones to describe Sapientia_3G completely different from other feature phones. The Chinese industry no longer counts the smartphone market, and has been updated to the smartphone market, and in the smartphone market, the annual shipment volume of the Sapientia_3G is the total annual shipment volume of the Huaguo smartphone market, with a market share of 100%.

From a global perspective, organizations are still using the smartphone vocabulary and classify Apple's iPhone and Zhiyu's Sapientia_3G as smartphones. In this way, in the global smartphone market in 2007, Nokia ranked first with a large proportion of 39.8% market share; RIM BlackBerry ranked second with 8.6% market share; Zhiyu Technology ranked third with a market share of 7.3%; Sharp ranked fourth with a 5.1% market share; HTC ranked fifth with a 2.73% market share; Apple ranks sixth with a 2.7% market share.

Apple's iPhone sales are about 3.3 million units, and the U.S. market is its base; The Chinese market is the base of Zhiyu Sapientia_3G, and the two sides have encountered long-distance battles in markets such as the European Union outside the two countries.

Due to Apple's brand effect, the EU market initially looked forward to the launch of the iPhone, ignoring the fact that Zhiyu sued Apple for patent infringement, and ridiculed Sapientia_3G as a copycat of the iPhone. However, after all, the product depends on the quality to speak, and users in the EU market waited eagerly for the iPhone to be launched, and found that it was far from Sapientia_3G. The most intuitive and subjective impression is that the iPhone does not support the app store, and playing mobile games that do not cut fruit is blind to its multi-touch capacitive screen.

As a result, Zhiyu Technology's reputation gradually changed from a copycat to a leader, and Sapientia_3G ushered in a small peak after a few months of listing, and finally pushed the total annual sales of the EU market to 664,000 units. Although fighting for a long time in the EU market, the contradiction between Zhiyu Technology and Apple is not fierce, because the common goal of the two is to encroach on the market of Nokia Symbian system smartphones.

In view of the strong profitability of the mobile phone business, Zhiyu Technology decided to take advantage of the victory to expand its advantages.

On March 20, 2008, Zhiyu Technology took the lead in releasing Sapientia_2 to continue to promote multi-touch capacitive screens.

The market lived up to the efforts of Zhiyu Technology, and Sapientia_2's pre-order data unexpectedly set a new record for Sapientia_3G.

In addition to Sapientia_2 good news, Spring and Autumn Software and Spring and Autumn Network, which have not been in action for a long time, released a new online game "Lich Clash" on March 26.

Since the operation of "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms" in June 2003, Spring and Autumn Network seems to be obsessed with the boutique route, and in three or four years, it has only operated three online games, such as "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms", "The Road to Survival" and "World of Warcraft". All three online games are very profitable, though. Looking back on 2007, the annual operating income of "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms" was 4.66 billion yuan, the annual operating income of "The Road to Survival" was 2.28 billion yuan, and the annual operating income of "World of Warcraft" was 1.88 billion yuan. At the same time, the total revenue of the Huaguo online game market after deducting the Spring and Autumn Network is only 10.5 billion yuan. Although Spring & Autumn Network only operates three online games, it relies on its sophisticated quality content and tenaciously continues to dominate half of the Chinese online game market.

In this context, "Lich Clash" quickly attracted attention from all sides.

Clash of the Lich is a competitive online game similar to Dota 2 and League of Legends.

The background of "Lich Clash" is based on the flood classification that has emerged in the Internet industry in recent years, and the so-called lich is the witch and demon clan in it. Spring and Autumn Software cooperated with Spring and Autumn Literature to gather a group of online authors of Flood Stream and Xianxia Stream, re-sort out the flood materials, and launch officially defined story clues. The story is chosen at the time node of the war between the witch and the demon clan, and then the rise of mankind, when the player competes against each other, one side is the witch camp, and the other side is the demon camp.

Of course, Clash of the Lich is an online game after all. In addition to the heroes of the Wu camp and the heroes of the demon camp inherent in the torrent, Spring and Autumn Software also integrates a group of heroes and historical figures in European and American styles with concepts such as extraterrestrial visitors and time and space travel, and players can completely operate Kong Qiu, the founder of Confucianism, to fight against the nine-tailed demon fox Daji from the Fengshen List.

Wait, wait.

Thanks to the previous brand image of Spring and Autumn Network, "Lich Clash of the Lich" reached the record of 500,000 highest number of simultaneous online users on the first day of the open beta, and the start was very good. Its good market feedback directly drove the stock price of Spring and Autumn Network to soar by 16%.

Sapientia_2 pre-order data shows that it is not weaker than Sapientia_3G, and it is very likely to exceed 10 million sales; The data of 500,000 players online on the first day of the open beta of "Clash of the Lich" indicates that it will become the fourth popular online game operated by Spring and Autumn Network, or will equal the operating revenue of "Road to Survival". The online game sector and the mobile phone business sector, Wei Dongsheng defines as a cash cow, and the good news that both are coming at the same time means that Wei Dongsheng has more funds to do what he wants to do.

The former governor of Hedong Province, Hai Dafu, is good news.

The improvement of the political status of Panyang City is good news.

Song Ningxing's promotion to vice governor is good news.

Sapientia_2 pre-order performance is good news.

The big hit of "Clash of the Lich" is good news

Heading into 2008, it seems that there is good news everywhere.

Unfortunately, the bad news came soon.

On May 12, 2008, the desk of the Spring and Autumn Building tilted violently, and Wei Dongsheng thought that he was tired and dizzy. A few minutes later, Wei Dongsheng belatedly realized that it was an earthquake, and a more specific news came from his mobile phone text messages and online news: the epicenter was in Wenchuan, Sichuan.

Hedong Province and Sichuan Province are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and Wei Dongsheng can feel the earthquake significantly in Panyang City, Hedong Province, and its intensity is needless to say. Wei Dongsheng does not understand medical knowledge, nor does he understand rescue knowledge, and recklessly going to the disaster area will only disrupt the order of disaster relief. All Wei Dongsheng can do is donate some money to show his heart.

After determining that the Wenchuan earthquake was as tragic as expected, Wei Dongsheng immediately organized donations from Chunqiu, Zhiyu, Zhixing, Zhuwei, Rose Fund, Quantum Rose and other enterprises.

Wei Dongsheng personally donated 1.328 billion yuan, without it, the total population of China in 2008 was 1.328 billion, symbolizing that the people of the whole country donated one yuan per person to the disaster area; five enterprises, including Chunqiu, Zhiyu, Zhixing, Zhuwei and Rose Fund, each donated 200 million yuan, totaling 1 billion yuan; Quantum Rose's four-dimensional space is still in a state of burning money, and it is operating at a loss every year, so it only donated 13.28 million yuan. 13.28 million yuan is similar to Wei Dongsheng's 1.328 billion yuan, which means 1/10,000.

Wei Dongsheng is aware of the dirty things in the charity industry, so all donations do not go through cash channels, and all the materials needed for the disaster area are purchased to minimize the consumption of so-called charity operating expenses.

After the donation was completed, Wei Dongsheng fell into deep thought.

In the previous life, there was no such earthquake in Huaguo!
