A small factory with an annual sales volume of barely one million said that its biggest competitor is Matrix, and the annual sales of Matrix and Mphone3 alone are 50 times that of them.

This is just staying in the propaganda, as if Lao Luo claimed that the hammer is the best smartphone in the Eastern Hemisphere, and the subtext of this sentence is that Apple is the best smartphone in the Western Hemisphere, and the hammer can be compared with Apple.

Staying in publicity is a good strategy, just like whether it is Xiaomi or Huawei, when doing publicity, they will always take out Apple's flagship machine this year and compare it.

This helps companies help users quickly have an accurate positioning of their products, oh, this company's smartphones are benchmarked against Apple.

But if the founders take it seriously, they really think that Apple is their biggest rival, and even turn down some opportunities because of this, which is very arrogant.

For any company, emerging investment is a golden signboard, which is better than Sequoia Capital in the future, especially for the upstream and downstream cooperative enterprises in the supply chain, everyone will look up to you.

Not to mention that Xinxing Investment has invested in a large number of smartphone supply chain-related enterprises, which can provide great assistance to Meizu's development, such as helping Meizu book the first release of Xinxin Technology's new generation of smartphone chips.

And the support that Cao Yongluo can give is limited, even when his grandfather is still in power, it is difficult to provide direct assistance, not to mention that his grandfather has retired, and his father and uncle's generation have not been able to go further, plus Pengcheng is not within the influence of Cao Yongluo's family.

Although Pengcheng is the enclave of Yanjing's old money in Guangdong Province, you also have to lay out in advance, and if you don't have a layout, you won't have influence.

Aside from money and limited resource support, Cao Yongluo can't come up with much.

So Cao Yongluo himself was surprised that Huang Zhang would choose him instead of Xinxing.

Zhou Xin said that there is a shadow of the future generations while playing, but there are many different Meizu, he said: "A good product, with its own characteristics."

From the product itself, I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but from a corporate point of view, I don't know.

In many cases, whether an enterprise can succeed or not, the product is one thing, and the operation and management of the enterprise is the other. ”

Meizu and Huang Zhang are unavoidable topics in the history of the development of smart phones in China, and they got up early in the morning and rushed to a late set.

The Flyme system itself is doing very well, there are a bunch of die-hard fans, and at the peak of the battle with Xiaomi, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a first-line brand.

Later, because of a bunch of failed decisions, he was completely reduced to leftovers in market share statistics, and was even sold to Geely.

So if you don't invest, you don't invest, and Zhou Xin doesn't care too much, Meizu is no longer worth his extra effort.

Cao Yongluo nodded: "Yes, I talked to their founder, a very proud person, extremely confident, only believing in himself."

I have also run Yongxin Technology for so many years, to be honest, I still have stepped on a lot of pits, I think the size of Meizu is something I played five years ago, I made some suggestions with him, although he is listening, but I can feel that he does not agree with my suggestions.

Maybe he didn't even think about it seriously, and thought about my suggestions in combination with the problems he encountered in his actual operation.

In addition to this, he does have a set of concepts for product design and smartphones.

Maybe success is paranoia.

In my understanding of Meizu, it is a bit difficult to make a big profit on this investment, and it is a bit difficult to make a first-line brand, but it will not lose anywhere, at least if the current volume is maintained, this investment will not be lost. Cao Yongluo has a strong desire to complain.

There are too many people who usually flatter themselves, and it is rare to see Huang Zhang so arrogant, but Cao Yongluo feels that this is a personality.

Zhou Xin laughed: "Hahaha makes sense.

I also feel like I'm always right, and if the whole world doesn't agree with me, the world is wrong. ”

Cao Yongluo waved his hand again and again: "Because you have been proven right too many times in the past, you will become more and more confident."

For example, Madoff, all electronic payment institutions are cooperating with Madoff, only you don't believe him, and in the end you prove that you are right.

At least tens of billions of dollars of profits are in front of you, you can resist the temptation, this is too difficult, isn't Yan Hong just not resisting this temptation to make it so ugly?

However, Huang Zhang can also prove himself, and it is not easy to get millions of shipments by relying on Internet marketing. ”

Zhou Xin said: "Their operating system is very thoughtful, and some details are polished well, which can be seen in the tube, which itself requires a very paranoid character to force the R&D team to polish the system."

It is also a mobile phone operating system based on Android, like Sony, which is very perfunctory, and there is almost no personalized expression.

Of course, it's not that the original is bad.,It's that Sony and Ericsson parted ways to engage in smartphones.,Just give me a kind of hardware stacking,Except for the good quality of the hardware,There's nothing commendable.。 ”

Cao Yongluo said: "Yes, domestic smartphone manufacturers generally have their own design language in the operating system. ”

Zhou Xin: "So in these places in Southeast Asia, except for Samsung, neon and Korean brands obviously can't sell Chinese brands.

Because they are far inferior to Chinese manufacturers in terms of the humanization of system design. ”

Cao Yongluo: "Yes, except for Mphone, I think other foreign-made smartphones with thousands of dollars are not as good as Xiaomi."

In other words, it seems that Xinxin plans to acquire some technologies from Sumitomo recently? ”

Zhou Xin said: "Do you know this? I remember that the news hasn't been made public yet. ”

Cao Yongluo said: "That is certain, neon media are reporting that Sumitomo Chemical has ushered in a big buyer from China."

Huaguo's big buyers, who else can there be besides Xinxin?

Neon Media did not name Xinxin, but everyone knows who can have the money and willingness to buy Sumitomo Chemical's technology at this point in time. ”

Zhou Xin said: "That's right, Huaguo has developed well in the field of semiconductors over the years, but we still have a lot of shortcomings.

With Xinxing Investment as the main investment body, and Xinxin Technology's investment company as the auxiliary, our goal is to spend all the $20 billion in cash on hand during the financial crisis, investment, acquisition, purchase of patents, etc., in short, we plan to spend nothing.

If you don't spend it now, you won't be able to buy it later. ”

Zhou Xin's arrogance made Cao Yongluo gasp, and Nima's $20 billion statement was as easy as drinking soup: "Cow."

I invested hundreds of millions of dollars, and the unit was still RMB, and I felt heartache, for fear that the investment would fail, and you would casually go out with 20 billion dollars. ”

Zhou Xin thought to himself what is this, after 2016, a large number of Chinese enterprises will invest overseas, and the scale of a single project will be tens of billions of US dollars.

"Okay, to be honest, if Ameriken is willing to sell Applied Materials to me, it is now worth $30 billion, even if it goes up at a 100% premium, $60 billion in cash, I would be willing to buy it."

Zhou didn't have that much cash in his hand, and if Washington was willing to sell it, he was willing to buy NewPay and Riot Games after cashing them all in.

He asked Henry Paulson about it, and the Treasury Department had no opinion, but the problem was that the Department of Energy didn't agree to it, claiming that it wouldn't sell it for 60 billion or 100 billion.

"The problem is that Ameriken's side disagrees, saying that I am delusional, don't put your calculations on Ameriken's core enterprises."

Cao Yongluo was speechless: "Your level is much higher than mine, I'd better do the work at hand first." ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Yongluo suddenly became serious: "By the way, I still have something to remind you."

That is, whether there are entrepreneurs around you to bewitch you, which roughly means that when private capital develops to a certain point, it needs to fight for more rights and interests.

For example, according to last year's statistics, private enterprises accounted for more than 70 percent of the country's total employment and more than 90 percent of the new jobs. ”

The accurate expression here should be that private enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households absorb more than 70 percent of the total number of jobs in the country's cities and towns, and more than 90 percent of the new jobs.

"In fact, the food of these employed people is given by private enterprises, so private enterprises should have more say."

Cao Yongluo actually means that the economic base determines the superstructure, and private enterprises control a considerable part of the production materials, so they will try to fight for the corresponding rights.

Zhou Xin roughly guessed what the other party was going to say: "I've heard of it." ”

Cao Yongluo continued: "If they want to encourage you to come out and be a bird, what can help everyone stand on the platform and fight for more rights and interests for private enterprises and private capital, you must not listen to such words."

No matter how nice they say, don't be the first bird. ”

Zhou Xin thought to himself, isn't this what Jack Ma meant at the Bund Financial Summit?

"You know I don't like to be in the limelight, how can I make that kind of statement.

Besides, if it weren't for Shen Hai and Yanjing's insistence on giving me a bunch of political identities, I wouldn't even want these, let alone fight for more rights and interests.

I just want to get things done, and the rest, I don't care about or value it.

As far as I am concerned, I can directly contact those people in Yanjing through Shenhai, is it possible that I will fight for others? ”

Cao Yongluo nodded: "That's good, I'm just reminding you."

Avoid being tricked into being a bird, although even if you don't have any direct impact, it will always have an impact in the long run. ”

Cao Yongluo actually pointed out why he waited until 18 years later for the overall economic situation, because these private entrepreneurs have more rights and interests after obtaining the means of production.

Cao Yongluo can see this now, which is undoubtedly related to his growth background and the information he has been exposed to.

"Do you think I'm a bit of a big tree now?

The scale of Xinxin is too large, and many people in Yanjing can't get used to me? Zhou Xin asked suddenly.

This is the norm, in the world, China's business environment is considered to be at the upper middle level, but there are also a large number of tricks and grabbing phenomena.

It's just because Zhou Xin has a halo as a talisman, and he is low-key enough, high-profile work, and low-key life.

Cao Yongluo shook his head: "You don't have to worry about this, you are the richest man in the world, Xinxin's plate of 100 billion US dollars, or a high-tech enterprise, who can play except you?" ”

Xinxin also includes Xiaomi, which was valued at about $100 billion by Wall Street before the financial crisis.

After the arrival of the financial crisis, benefiting from the bright sales of Mphone3, the valuation of Xinxin Technology has not fallen.

"Xinxin directly provides tens of thousands of jobs, all of which are high-paying jobs, thousands of upstream and downstream enterprises, and indirectly feeds at least hundreds of thousands of people.

Besides, after you return to China, you are a business card of Huaguo in the world, who dares to touch you?

Besides, even if you have an idea, you don't have the courage to do so.

On the contrary, they are very envious of me, I can get on the line with you, and by cooperating with you, I can make such a big plate as Yongxin Technology completely legal and compliant. ”

Zhou Xin asked: "Didn't the chip manufacturing company of Xinxin Technology open an opening for everyone to invest?"

I remember that many second-generation investors in Yanjing have invested a few million, and there are more than 20 million or 30 million, and the income is guaranteed to be no less than 7% every year, which is not a lot.

In normal years, there is a profit of more than 10%.

In the event of a strong dollar, the return in a good year can be more than 15%. ”

Zhou Xin knows how to share benefits, of course, what he takes out to give everyone and what the real estate company gives to everyone can't be compared.

Like Wanda and Evergrande, on the eve of going to the Hong Kong stock market, they urgently issued additional shares to a small group of people, and then after the listing, these people cashed out and made a lot of money.

Cao Yongluo smiled bitterly: "It's true that this income is not low."

It's much higher than the banks, but the problem is that it's still too slow for them to get money.

How to say it, this belongs to drought and flood to ensure income, and belongs to the slow effect of traditional Chinese medicine.

If these people want to engage in Western medicine, it is best to take injections, and they will get excited immediately after one injection.

For example, before the new chip lithography machine goes public, if they are given private placement of shares, or let them urgently join the new chip lithography machine, nominally give the position of the management, and then give them strategic placement, then they will be more satisfied.

Zhou Xin, I didn't say that there was a problem with your approach, I just pointed out their hyena nature.

Human nature always has to look forward to Shu. ”

Zhou Xin was helpless: "It seems that I will ask you well next time." ”

Cao Yongluo waved his hand: "No, you are strong enough, you don't need to care about their feelings, and they can't find any fault with your current approach."

Besides, the inheritance of power will gradually shrink, there is no need to feed them, you don't engage in real estate, and you don't need to take land from the local government at a low price.

What you provide is jobs, a lot of investment, high-tech enterprises, and the local authorities are eager to provide you with convenience, and you are taking a different path than others.

I'm just sharing cases. ”

Zhou Xin and Cao Yongluo have been dealing with each other for many years, knowing that the other party has no intention of this, and everyone has a deep relationship of interest, Cao Yongluo wants to remind that there is no need to beat around the bush so much.
