With the explosive growth of Honor mobile phone sales this year, the scale of the entire Nanshan Group has become much larger.

Don't look at a mobile phone, it's only four or five thousand yuan, which is a big difference compared to the price of a car.

But you can't stand other people's mobile phones can sell tens of millions of units a year, and cars are only a few hundred thousand.

Even the subsequent sales of Honor mobile phones exceeding 100 million units are not a problem.

In this way, the impact of Honor mobile phones on the entire Nanshan Group is great.

In 2011, Nanshan Group's turnover will also increase significantly.

This will naturally lead to Lingnan Province and Yangcheng City to be more supportive and pay more attention to Nanshan Group.

Liu Tianwu, as the person in charge of Yangcheng, is also the person who has the most dealings with Cao Yang in various institutions.

In response to the actions of the United States, what support does Nanshan Group need, what ideas does it have, and the task of investigating and grasping the relevant situation falls to Liu Tianwu.

Of course, Liu Tianwu must also be willing to take this opportunity to have a good exchange with Cao Yang.

After all, this kind of active giving policy is definitely an opportunity to sell favors.

"Mr. Cao, what happened to Nanshan Group on the American side, we all see it in our eyes, and we will not stand idly by."

"The previous gallium and germanium thing is a means, and other means are also being discussed."

"Do you have any other proposals that I could push for myself?"

This kind of initiative to ask what policies enterprises need, and give you what treatment you need, is definitely only available to central enterprises.

It can be seen that Nanshan Group's influence in China has been established.

Of course, Liu Tianwu would say this, and it was because Lingnan Province and the ministries and commissions had relevant contacts, and he dared to say so because he had the confidence.

Otherwise, he will pat his chest casually, and in the end he will not do anything that cannot be implemented.

"Thank you for your concern, the impact of these sanctions on us is still within a tolerable range."

"Of course, if you can put some pressure on them, that's great."

Among Cao Yang's answers, the first thing is to reassure Liu Tianwu that there will be no problems with the business conditions of Nanshan Group.

This should be something that Liu Tianwu and some others are particularly concerned about.

After all, those sanctions will definitely have an impact on the operation of Nanshan Group, but only people within the company know how big the impact is.

In addition, it means that he does have some ideas.

Liu Tianwu is very smart, so he naturally understands the meaning behind these words.

Exchanges between smart people often go without saying it in plain language.

"Whatever you think, you can say it."

"The United States has gone a little too far, and it's normal for everyone to cooperate and compete, but using so many off-board tricks, it doesn't look like a good cooperation."

"In that case, we can naturally have some counterfire moves."

"Let them know that we're not easy to mess with, and let's sit down and have a good talk."

Liu Tianwu's answer also contains some special meanings.

First of all, he set a big tone for the counterattack, that is, the counterattack is not to tear the face, everyone still has to develop together, and the counterattack is just to let the other party learn some lessons.

Then let Cao Yang put forward his own ideas or conditions.

"The last time we started with the raw materials of gallium and germanium, it was actually a very good attempt."

"We need to make full use of our own advantages, so that the value of these raw materials can return to the normal market demand price."

"If you look at iron ore, just because we buy more in Huaxia, the price has been rising over the years."

"To put it mildly, the selling price of those ores is already seriously deviating from the cost of mining."

"Why can they make a lot of money on raw materials, while our raw materials can only be sold cheaply?"

These words are Cao Yang's sincere words.

Although people who run businesses definitely want all raw materials to be cheap.

However, if it is only the raw materials that are produced in large quantities in China are low, and other imported ones are very expensive, then it is necessary to explore the rationality.

"For example, rare earth metals, we export more than 80% of the world's annual volume, but the price has not been high."

"In order to mine these rare earths, each mining area actually pays a relatively high environmental price."

"Even the current low prices are the result of the various costs compressed by the various mining areas."

"Although in the first half of the year, the ministry issued relevant policy documents on rare earth strategic inventory, and the price of rare earth metals has risen a wave."

"But I think there's a lot of room for the price to rise."

"Like gallium and germanium, we can bring rare earth metals under unified control."

"It's not that it can't be exported, but the situation of export must be made clear."

"If it is used to produce military products, it may not necessarily be approved."

Since Liu Tianwu had already conveyed the meaning that the action of fighting back was for better cooperation, Cao Yang naturally would not propose too drastic measures.

But it is possible to propose measures that do not seem drastic but can have far-reaching consequences.

Obviously, further control of rare earth metals is a very important means.

This material is not only needed in the semiconductor industry, but also in many other electronic and electrical parts.

"Rare earth metals?"

"It's a real starting point."

Liu Tianwu didn't expect Cao Yang to start from this place.

But after a little thought, he felt that it was feasible.

He also understands the situation of rare earth mining in China.

It can be said that the impact on the environment is quite large, and there is no harm in controlling it.

……

With the exchange between Liu Tianwu and Cao Yang, some rumors from the ministry and commission soon came out.

The smell of gunpowder in the air suddenly became much stronger.

"Cao, our company has discussed and determined that the general direction of cooperation with Nanshan Group will not change in the future, and the gearbox and other parts purchased from you will be purchased."

Ed Whittaker, the president of General Motors, called Cao Yang directly.

Obviously, they had already felt the pressure from the Demon Capital General to pass it back, and they didn't want to become victims of the sanctions.

GM managed to refinance last year and is now on track.

Whitaker hopes to regain his position as the world's largest car company with General Motors.

In order to achieve this goal, the performance of the Chinese market is naturally very crucial.

Now he feels that the relationship between the two sides has become more tense because of semiconductors.

This is certainly not a good thing for General Motors.

Therefore, after internal communication, Whittak felt that it was necessary to work with Ford Motor to alleviate the semiconductor-related contradictions between the two sides.

Otherwise, the two car companies are likely to be the biggest victims.

This is unacceptable.

"Whittaker, thank you so much for your trust."

"Whether it is Nanshan Semiconductor or Nanshan Auto Parts, they are all a trustworthy supplier."

"We provide our customers with the strongest QCD parts and provide customers with services that exceed their expectations."

"Actually, I don't really understand why Nanshan Group's development of semiconductors has aroused the hostility of so many enterprises."

"Could it be that we have been importing chips at a high price, so that they are happy?"

Cao Yang was still unsure of what Whittak's purpose was for calling him, so he just piggybacked on his dissatisfaction and didn't say much.

But Whittaker couldn't wait to get into the subject.

"I also think it's strange that the situation has become the way it is."

"It stands to reason that it is indeed not, but Qualcomm's reputation has never been very good."

"Here in the United States, Qualcomm has also been in litigation with many companies."

"Apple, Microsoft, Dell, HP, Samsung Electronics, all of these companies have fought lawsuits against Qualcomm, and in most cases Qualcomm has won."

"Qualcomm guys are patent trolls."

"Yes, Qualcomm is indeed in the leading position in the industry on 3G and 4G."

"They have a large number of communications patents covering all aspects of the field of mobile communications."

"These patents include not only the technologies that mobile communications companies need to use, but also the key technologies that companies that design mobile phone chips."

"As a result, it is difficult for Apple, Samsung, or other companies to bypass Qualcomm's patents when developing their own mobile devices."

The fuse of this conflict was Qualcomm's lawsuit against Honor Mobile, and Whittak said that these contents could be regarded as finding a step for Cao Yang to a certain extent.

You see!

So many large companies that do not belong to Honor mobile phones have been notified by Gao.

It's not a big deal, don't react so violently!

Of course, that's what he said on his lips, but that's not what he thought in his heart at all.

In his view, Qualcomm, as a leader in the field of wireless communication, has made huge commercial investments in wireless communication technology and assumed great commercial risks in its decades of development history, and finally achieved remarkable results.

Over the years, Qualcomm has always adhered to continuous innovation and R&D, and invests 20% of its pre-tax revenue in innovation and R&D every year.

Qualcomm's ability to have so many patented technologies today is the result of its insistence on innovation.

"You're right, but Qualcomm's way of collecting royalties is too ruthless."

"That's not a royalty at all, it's a Qualcomm tax."

If Whittak didn't take the initiative to say his purpose, Cao Yang would definitely not ask himself.

So I just talked about it along with his topic.

"I've heard about this, Qualcomm has really gone too far."

"The general royalty is a fixed fee for a certain time or a certain amount."

"And Qualcomm actually takes a fixed proportion! If the phone sells for $100, then Qualcomm will take $5, and if it sells for $1,000, I'm sorry, then I'll charge $50. ”

"No matter how expensive you sell, I will take 5%, the key is that a large part of the price difference of $900 may be driven by other components, rather than the incremental profit brought by Qualcomm."

"But Qualcomm's patent umbrella is also very strong, and buying his mobile phone chip has a great advantage, that is, you don't have to worry about your mobile phone infringing on some patents of other manufacturers."

"Because when mobile phone manufacturers sign patent licensing with Qualcomm, they will also sign an anti-licensing agreement."

"For example, when Apple buys Qualcomm patents, it must simultaneously license its own patents to Qualcomm, so that other manufacturers who buy Qualcomm patents can use Apple's patents for free."

"In this way, even if some mobile phone manufacturers use Apple's patents, as long as they purchase Qualcomm's chips, they don't have to worry about the patent fees, which is of great significance to many smaller companies."

Whittak didn't blindly scold Qualcomm there, but helped explain the relevant situation.

Of course, he said that this was all to set the stage for the rest of the story.

But Cao Yang just didn't accept the offer and continued to talk nonsense there.

"What you said is not unreasonable, Qualcomm can be so comfortable, naturally there are reasons for others."

After saying this, Cao Yang stopped talking.

Both sides of the phone were silent for more than ten seconds before Whittak continued: "Cao, I think the market is very big, and there is no need for everyone to be so stiff. ”

"Whether it's with Apple or Qualcomm, I think there are opportunities for cooperation in the future."

"On the American side, I will find a way to communicate with those semiconductor companies, and everyone should not take any further action."

"Huaxia also hopes that you can help contact it, and try not to intensify the conflict again."

"What do you think, everyone give way?"

After Whittak said this, he suddenly felt a little tired.

What's going on?

Obviously it didn't have much to do with him, but GM became one of the main victims.

Where do you make sense?

"Actually, we don't want to contradict Qualcomm and Apple, it's just that they have gone too far."

"Of course, I think what you said also makes sense, and it's not impossible for everyone to shake hands and make peace for the time being."

"But the relevant policies for rare metals that have been released in China still have to be introduced."

"It's just that I'll find a way to make this policy not affect so much."

Cao Yang has actually been thinking about how this matter should end these days.

At that time, these onlookers of Samsung will die of laughter.

But you can't show weakness, so you need to grasp the degree well.

Now that General Motors has taken the initiative to stand up to extinguish the fire, it is obviously a good opportunity to be a peacemaker.

Hearing Cao Yang say this, Whittak breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that Cao Yang would be young and vigorous, and if he had to push things in a more and more rigid direction, he would go to prison.

"Okay, then let's go and work hard to eliminate the impact of these recent events as soon as possible."

After Whittak finished speaking, he continued to greet Cao Yang for a few words and hung up the phone.

And as much as General Motors, there are more worries, in fact, not only Ford Motor, but Apple is now a little regretful.

It seems that this thing is a bit more than worth the cost?

His main business is consumer electronics, not chips.

The chips designed by Apple are not sold to the outside world, and there is no competition with Nanshan Semiconductor.

"Kuka, Huaxia has now begun to ban the sale of iPhone4 and iPhone4S, and the next step is likely to ban our PAD, computer and iPod nano."

"Huaxia is now the world's second largest economy, and the demand for consumer electronics is very strong."

"We can't afford to lose this market."

Wang Ziming personally flew to the United States to report the situation of the Huaxia branch with Apple CEO Kuka.

He must have seen all kinds of voices on the Internet.

He is worried that the situation will deteriorate further, causing Apple to completely lose the Chinese market.

This is absolutely unacceptable.

"Do you really think the consequences will be so serious?"

Kuka now regrets it a bit as well.

What kind of energy did you stir up behind your back?

Qualcomm and Intel want to toss, let them toss.

Honor phones have a small market share in the United States, so it doesn't matter if you ignore them for the time being.

But now it's happening.

Apple's is absolutely huge.

"Yes, if the situation is allowed to develop, then Apple will have no room to survive in China."

"If we can find a way to ease the situation, then at most two mobile phones will be banned, and we will soon launch the iPhone 5 in the future, which should still be sold normally."

"Basically, in another half a year, the impact of this incident on us can slowly subside."

"I believe that Apple's products still have a lot of consumers in China."

Hearing Wang Ziming's words, Kuka also hesitated a little.

As if sensing Kuka's hesitation, Wang Ziming continued: "As the technology company with the highest market value in the United States, I think the company can fully exert the influence of shareholders, and everyone has cooled down the situation. ”

"Otherwise, in the end, other competitors will enjoy the fruits of our struggle."

Wang Ziming's words reminded Kuka of Apple's main competitor, Samsung mobile phones, and he immediately made a decision in his heart.

"What you said also makes sense, I will contact the relevant personnel and don't let the situation worse."

With Kuka's action, there is naturally some further news spread on the American side.

Many enterprises in China are now actively moving towards the international market, and naturally it is not a way.

"Mr. Li, looking at this, whether it is Intel, Qualcomm and Apple, it seems that they are ready to stop."

"Do you think we're going to find a way to arch the fire behind our backs?"

Chai Hang came to Li Zailin's office a little disappointed.

Combined with the information he had obtained during this time, he keenly felt that the relationship between the two sides was easing.

"Don't toss yet, we can't do it."

"Don't let those small actions be exposed, then not only someone in China will deal with us, but also those companies in the United States will have opinions."

"Especially Apple, their losses in Huaxia this time are relatively large, and they are probably holding their breath in their hearts."

It's not that Lee Jae-rim is not greedy, but he knows that the risk of continuing to make trouble is too high.

For the sake of a little thing to add to the cake, he will definitely not do it.

"That's right, after all, if we want to make trouble, we must use the Internet in Huaxia."

"And there are no secrets on the Internet."

"When the time comes, if those giants of America point the finger at us, it will be troublesome."

Chai Hang soon realized that his proposal was not very good.

At this time, less tossing may sometimes be the best choice.

After all, Samsung has already enjoyed dividends during this time, and a variety of mobile phones and computers and other products are selling very well.

Lee Jae-lin feels that there is no need to worry about his performance this year.

The same Korean enterprises, Hyundai and Kia have a hard time this year, but Samsung's life is very comfortable.

Even this year will be the first time that Samsung mobile phones have surpassed Nokia mobile phones to become the world's largest mobile phone company.

Although this position may not be able to sit firmly for a few years, at least people are now the big brother in the mobile phone industry!

"Next, the company should make good use of the opportunity to do our smartphone business."

"Don't be afraid to spend advertising money, spend boldly, how to spend how to have an effect!"

Koreans are not generous people, but what is beneficial to the company, Lee Jae-rim is still willing to spend money.

As a small Goryeo, their products must have achieved good results overseas in order to have a global impact.

Obviously, the Chinese market is an existence that Samsung cannot give up.

At least that's what Samsung thinks internally.

"I've asked people to contact advertising agencies to start a new round of Internet and terrestrial advertising, and I'm ready to give a good publicity to our latest smartphones."

"I hope that through this publicity, we can surpass Honor mobile phone sales in Huaxia."

Chai Hang is obviously also a very thoughtful person.

Nokia's downfall actually has nothing to do with him.

Even he himself has repeatedly persuaded the headquarters to develop some models that he thinks are suitable, but no one cares about the words of a sales director of the Huaxia branch.

In European and American enterprises, the status of Chinese people is always inferior to that of their own people.

Even in a dozen years, this situation will not fundamentally change.

"Go ahead and don't be afraid to spend money!"

With Li Zailin's words, Chai Hang was naturally ready to let go.

However, the popularity of the Internet was slowly attracted by the Yangcheng Auto Show.
