Reinventing the Millennium.

When people arrived in New York, the news of Nokia came to their faces.

Just at the beginning of the month, the Finnish overlord released a new touch-screen phone.

This time, it has a new look, not only has a capacitive screen, but also has a very targeted price, with a low configuration of $299 and a high configuration of $399.

Such pricing is almost costly.

Because Nokia has not reached a large-scale subsidy cooperation with US operators, and still continues the previous selling method.

Judging from the news that Fang Zhuo got, Yike occupied T-Mobile and Verizon, Apple occupied AT&T, and Sprint is still messing with Motorola. The four major telecom operators are not interested in Nokia's high conditions.

Based on this situation, Nokia's stacking mobile phone is only $199 higher than the subsidized price of Mars and iPhone at $100, which is quite conscientious.

If you need a touch screen, you need a touch screen, you need a configuration, plus a big brand, isn’t my Nokia worth $100?

Facts have proved that the performance of mobile phones that still use the Symbian system in the market can only be said to be tepid.

Apple's iOS and Yike's Android have been sold in the United States for almost two years, and the combined users of the two smart systems have exceeded 2000 million. The market is no longer what it was in 2007.

If Nokia came up with such a product in 2007, it might still have the power to fight.

However, when comparing the three products in various real machine evaluations, especially after loading touch-screen games, Nokia's performance is really disappointing. Symbian S60 v3 does not support touch-screen very well.

With the new machine like this, Nokia has made more efforts in patent competition.

On the one hand, it is negotiating with Apple, and on the other hand, it is also using public opinion to promote the ITC's ruling process.

On the first day Fang Zhuo arrived in New York, he didn't have time to rest. He spent the whole afternoon listening to the latest reports and judgments.

The atmosphere in the conference room was tense.

Since the beginning of February, Yike's stock price has actually been rising, but the ITC's replacement of judges, the news of Nokia, and the views of some institutions have all brought internal pressure.

Fang Zhuo listened more and talked less, and only expressed his opinion at the end: "Who would have thought that Nokia, which was called the world's mobile phone king two years ago, would have to resort to administrative factors two years later because the product was not good? The company ushered in some Challenges, but with key patents in our hands, with Google and the PRO Alliance behind us, everything will work out.”

In two years, the mobile phone market has undergone significant changes.

Several executives left silently, their emotions only slightly relieved.

Later, Fang Zhuo greeted Yu Hong, the president of the United States, who came back in a hurry in the office.

"Mr. Fang, I think the patent negotiations between Apple and Nokia have made key progress." Yu Hong directly stated her judgment when she entered the office.

Fang Zhuo nodded: "It is possible, this means that we are missing a very important countermeasure."

Yike had a dispute with Apple on key touch patents before, and finally reached a settlement. If Nokia is endorsed by Apple, it will have no worries about touch screen patents.

This may be Nokia's previous statement on Yu Hong's contact with Europe. Its "own method" comes from Yike's competitors.

Yu Hong unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, gulped down half of the bottle before continuing: "An enemy of an enemy is a friend. Apple is very happy to see problems with Yi Ke."

Fang Zhuo said thoughtfully: "Yes, I have been thinking about this since I got off the plane. The enemy of an enemy is a friend. Apple and Yike are enemies. Now Yike seems to be showing weakness."

He paused and said, "But on the other hand, Apple and Nokia are also enemies. Who is the bigger enemy? For Jobs, there may not be a definite answer to this question."

Yu Hong looked at Boss Fang with eyes that had ideas.

Fang Zhuo thought about it: "I was thinking about calling Jobs and introducing another variable to Apple's measurement."

Yu Hong blurted out: "Samsung!"

Fang Zhuo nodded slightly: "Yes, Samsung, if Yike really falls, will the Android camp that has gradually become popular collapse immediately? Samsung is powerful, and the new phones released have good feedback. There are also more imitations, and most importantly, the relationship between Samsung and Apple is too complicated.”

Yu Hong understood that Apple would not want to see Samsung rise.

In addition to Samsung's imitation of the iPhone, the most important thing is that Apple's key parts come from Samsung.

The chip is Samsung's A-series core, and the memory and display are also from Samsung.

It's not that Apple is willing to do this, but Samsung's bundling strategy is a common way for semiconductor companies to develop business.

Fang Zhuo talked about the data he was concerned about: "Samsung only started to engage in wafer foundry in 05, and its foundry revenue in 06 was only 0.75 million US dollars, but last year, this revenue should have been close to 2 million US dollars."

Almost three times!
The bulk of this comes from the chips that are manufactured for Apple.

Samsung and Apple are in the honeymoon period.

But this honeymoon period has changed a bit with the introduction of products similar to the iPhone by Samsung, which itself is one of the few mobile phone manufacturers in the world.

No matter how the honeymoon is, can Apple's purchase price from Samsung be cheaper than Samsung's own use?
There's no doubt that Apple is building a formidable competitor with its own hands.

Unfortunately, Apple can't handle this situation for the time being. It has been strengthening its semiconductor department, but it will take time.

Fang Zhuo believes that Apple should be happy to see Yike suppressing Samsung in the Android camp. In addition, the Hummingbird team in Yike's hands largely determines the success or failure of Apple's self-developed chips.

If Apple insists on reaching a cooperation with Nokia, the tripartite cooperation on the Hummingbird chip can be postponed. Anyway, Yike and Qualcomm have a foreseeable long honeymoon period.

From a comprehensive point of view, apples that do not move can obtain the greatest benefits.

Fang Zhuo has been thinking about Apple's position since he got off the plane, regardless of the financial response. Echo's key patent to Nokia is an important bargaining chip in the future. The most ideal situation for him is that Nokia will ban Eike once. , Yike also banned the sale of Nokia once.

Once the sale is banned, Nokia's decline will probably be greatly accelerated, and it will give up market share faster.

If you stab me, I'll give you a shot. It's reasonable, right?

"Boss Fang is the head of Yike." Yu Hong understood the logic and sighed sincerely.

"Don't worry, keep improving." Fang Zhuo gave encouragement.

Yu Hong poured tea for the headman willingly, and said, "Now it depends on how Jobs chooses."

The extraction and planning of complex factors are very good, but it is not necessarily whether the other side listens to the persuasion.

"Well, I finished this cup of tea." Fang Zhuo played with the teacup, this tea is good to drink, don't waste it.

Yu Hong knew that Mr. Fang was organizing his words, so he quietly waited for the direct communication from the two heads.

After a cup of tea, Fang Zhuo called Jobs.

"Samsung's vertical integration is too powerful."

"Yike's chip department is considering suspending the research cooperation of the three parties. Qualcomm may be a better partner."

"Apple's cooperation with Nokia is very bad, it's better not to move for a while."

Not even a word of pleasantries, just three sentences.

Jobs on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and said directly: "Okay."

Fang Zhuo put down his phone and nodded at Xiao Yu.

Yu Hong blinked: "Yes? Jobs agreed so soon?"

"Maybe he digests the information quickly, maybe he has thought it all over." Fang Zhuo shrugged, "If I didn't say it, he would be happy to see Yi Ke die, if I did, he would be happy to see Yi Ke suppressed Samsung, everyone maintains the status quo, he is happy to see Yi Ke being stared at by Nokia."

Yu Hong also took a sip of tea: "Apple is sitting on a mountain and watching tigers fight."

"Maybe it's also the problem of raising tigers." Fang Zhuo solved a small problem, but his expression was not much complacent.

In addition to Yike's key reliance on Nokia's counter-suit, the company's stock price at this stage cannot be suppressed by Nokia, otherwise it will not be able to attract good friends without profit margins.

However, Shenxin Kechuang and Xiangjiang Huanyu, two shareholders who are good friends, still need to spend some thought on how to deal with them. Their shareholding is very important.

The person Fang Zhuo was most reluctant to speak to was Wang Fengyi from Shenxin Kechuang.

This time, Yi Ke's actions can't be clearly stated, otherwise a carelessness would be a huge loss, and the less people know about it, the better.

He and Xiaoyu chatted about the competition situation for a while, and decided to communicate with Wang Fengyi today.

The phone number and number have been changed to new ones.

Domestic time is exactly 08:30 am.

Fang Zhuo spoke first after the phone call: "Hello, Brother Wang."

"Hey, I like to hear the richest man in the mainland call me like that. Why did you change your number?" Wang Fengyi's voice was lazy, and it sounded like he was not working.

"Have you heard about Nokia's lawsuit against Yike?" Fang Zhuo didn't explain the number and went straight to the point.

"I heard that it's too much to deceive people. It seems that they don't even ask for patent fees, but they just want to fight to the end." Wang Fengyi was instantly filled with righteous indignation.

Fang Zhuo thought about it: "Brother Wang, Shenxin Kechuang is a shareholder of the company. I think it is necessary for me to talk to you about the company's stock price and prospects. This time, Nokia's affairs are really troublesome."

Wang Fengyi immediately stated: "Mr. Fang, don't worry, Shenxin Kechuang will never be a deserter. I believe that Yike encountered only temporary difficulties. The domestic market is gaining momentum. In a few months, Yike's new model will be released. , As long as Nokia can't kill Yike all at once, we can regain our strength in overseas markets."

Fang Zhuo: "..."

This, this Brother Wang, he doesn't drink too much, he started researching the company's situation!

Fang Zhuo responded silently.

Wang Fengyi thought he could resonate with Mr. Fang, but he didn't expect to get the desired response.

No, the number one investor in China and the richest man in mainland China should be able to respond.

The silence lasted for a while, but it didn't seem like the signal was bad.

Wang Fengyi's mind was spinning quickly, investing is investing in people, others dare not say it, but he is still extremely familiar with the other party's general attitude.

The front can't echo, what about the reverse echo?

Mr. Fang sometimes acts very unpredictable.

Facing Mr. Fang's silence, Wang Fengyi tentatively said: "But having said that, I must also be responsible for the interests of Shenxin Science and Technology Innovation. Mr. Fang, if Shenxin Science and Technology Innovation makes different decisions internally, you won't blame me, right?"

Fang Zhuo immediately came back to life, and said with a smile, "Brother Wang, who do you think I am? How could I blame you? I'm afraid you will blame me."

resonance!It's echoed!
Wang Fengyi frowned, echoed, what play is Mr. Fang singing?

What can't be said about the relationship between the two sides?Insider tips are also safe face-to-face.

Unless, there is indeed something unspeakable.

Wang Fengyi's mind is active now, the CPU is running at full speed, and he said seriously: "There is no blame between the company and the individual. Shenxin Kechuang will make a reasonable judgment based on Yike's operation."

Fang Zhuo sighed: "Shenxin Kechuang has invested in Yike from the very beginning, and it is the vane of Yike's stock. Whether it is the secondary market or internal shareholders, everyone looks up to you. I hope Yike can solve the problem as soon as possible."

Oh, The Weathervane.

Wang Fengyi vaguely figured out the taste, and replied: "Mr. Fang, we believe in Yike. Shenxin Kechuang has supported you from the past to the present, and I have supported you from the past to the present."

"Brother Wang, with your words, I feel relieved, we will contact you again, and I will invite you after returning to China," Fang Zhuo said.

Well, Reconnection.

Wang Fengyi put down his phone and thought about it carefully for a while, but he still didn't know what trend Yike would have, but Shenxin Kechuang could definitely play an excellent role as a weather vane.

He has this confidence.

It's good that Shenxin Kechuang doesn't move, but if it moves itself, others will see that China's No. [-] investor has withdrawn from Yike, and I'm afraid there will be an important judgment.

"Why are you up? Didn't you say you won't go to work this morning?" The people outside the room heard the movement and pushed open the door, a little surprised.

Wang Fengyi straightened his tie and said with a smile: "There are new situations that need to be studied and studied to see if we can see a big one."

China's No. [-] investor gave up fishing and drove to Shenxin Kechuang to investigate the latest competition between Nokia and Yike.

……

Fang Zhuo did not expect that the phone call with Wang Fengyi would be so in tune.

Well, it has to be Brother Wang, and it has to be this kind of tacit understanding.

In this way, it is possible to let Nokia’s public opinion and the negative analysis of the organization first, and wait to see whether Xiangjiang Huanyu will follow Shenxin Kechuang’s actions before making the next step.

Fang Zhuo, as the chairman of Yike, planned to talk about the company's situation with shareholder Wang Fengyi in a few days.

Shareholders should have the right to know.

Before he could think more, Kong Yu, the director of the MIGA Fund who arrived in Washington ahead of schedule, called.

"President Fang, Geithner wants to see you." Kong Yu knew the boss's itinerary, and once again conveyed the meaning of the big client.

"He sees me like this, isn't he sensitive?" Fang Zhuo asked.

On the contrary, Kong Yu felt a sense of security in Washington, and said, "All the celebrities and rich people come and go here."

Fang Zhuo asked again: "What is the general situation of asset disposal?"

Kong Yu didn't answer directly, but replied: "It's very simple and rude."

Fang Zhuo had a certain psychological expectation. If the gasoline man said so, it must be very simple and rude.

He set a time: "I'll be there tomorrow afternoon, and treat our clients to dinner in the evening."

It's time to step up and protect the interests of customers.
