Chapter 2627: Who does RIM serve?

In general, Jin Chenxiao and Zhou Kexin had some conscience and did not drive away. Instead, they got out of the car and blew the summer wind by Lake Ontario. They stood in the shade of the lakeside trees and waited for Mike with Zhao Changan. 's arrival

"What are you going to do?"

Jin Chenxiao asked curiously: "If Doug smashes the market like this, the average acquisition cost of 2 US dollars may be reached."

"Don't always fantasize about maximizing profits and taking advantage of all the good things, but strive to rationalize profits. As an emerging high-tech company, BlackBerry's products have mediocre sales, but their service targets are the elites of North American businesses and politics. Level. The BES and BIS service models are really good. Normally, its stock price should be at least above 6 US dollars. Now it is dragged down too much by Nortel. Let alone 2 US dollars, I estimate that there will be a lot of stocks below 2.5 US dollars. Discerning investors attract capital.”

Zhao Changan said: "Doug is blinded by a leaf. After this period of Nortel crisis passes, BlackBerry's stock price should easily return to more than 3 US dollars. If Doug's quotation is reasonable, in order to prevent him from randomly smashing the market, If other sharks come to compete for chips, he can put them all at a suitable price and we can take them directly without giving the stock market more time to react, and don't let him continue to add fuel to the market. "

Jin Chenxiao immediately said with a tone of rejection: "Unless you give up the idea of ​​​​BlackBerry, it is impossible to do this with the 10 billion funds here. I spent 5 million on it, and I can't guarantee the remaining 5 million." How many shares can I get in the end?”

To put it bluntly, Jin Chenxiao was still quibbling and wanted to get more funds.

"Okay, I'll use the Irvine branch to get it, and you guys should be ready to start a site-wide sweep."

One Nano Irvine Internet Audiovisual Company, headed by Zeng Hao and Qin Xiaolu, holds 100% of the shares of One Nano, so there is no obstacle to this, except that it has to draw money from the Gotham City branch.

In terms of the 'big gamble' between BlackBerry and Gotham City, the short-term interests are definitely more attractive on the Gotham City side. However, in the long term, if we can control BlackBerry and build it into the world's number one brand, blackberry os is very attractive. The importance of open source intelligent operating systems is naturally clear at a glance.

How to go and how to do it is actually a matter of weighing the pros and cons, and this time is certainly no exception.

Mike came over and brought a box of cold beer and cold dishes on the way.

His car is a kind of travel trailer, with air conditioning, a toilet, a bed, and a platform on the top with a table on the platform.

Seeing Mike coming, Jin Chenxiao and Zhou Kexin left first. Since Doug was going to sell, they also needed to take the news back and discuss how to attract money in this situation.

The car drove to the grassy area by the lake. In the shade of a big tree, Zhao Changan and Mike sat on the platform on the top of the station wagon, drinking beer and eating cold dishes.

"This is life!"

Looking at the distant mountains and blue lake, blowing the pleasant lake breeze, Zhao Changan sighed.

"You are richer than me, so this life is not difficult for you."

Mike said: "Actually, I haven't enjoyed this kind of life for a long time!"

"I have always thought there is a problem with the positioning of blackberry products."

"Say." Mike suddenly became energetic, knowing that Zhao Changan was finally willing to really talk about this matter.

Of course, he doesn't think there is any problem with the product positioning of his Blackberry, but as a technology geek, he is destined not to be the kind of stubborn, stubborn and paranoid person, because with the breakthrough of technology, the original old Technical viewpoints and even basic definitions may be subverted and redesigned. This is also a change that scientific researchers are happy to see.

Just like the Pi Physics Institute he invested in, there is a very cold theorem in it. If pi can be calculated, then it proves that the world is virtual.

Of course he is afraid and does not believe that this world is virtual, but this does not prevent him from investing huge sums of money to establish this Pi Physics Institute.

There is no contradiction between the two.

For the same reason, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his blackberry product positioning, but now he was looking forward to Zhao Changan being able to convince and overthrow him.

"Because your thoughts are very narrow-minded and elitist, and the world is no longer the one in the past when the world was controlled by the elite, and the vast majority of the people could only be driven by the bottom."

"I admit that blackberry's product positioning has a strong elitist flavor. However, this is also the key to blackberry's ability to stand out. Do you know how many North American plutocrats and business dignitaries now use blackberry?"

Mike's voice was filled with pride.

"Mike, Blackberry has achieved great success by relying on this elitist positioning. However, this is an advantage and a bottleneck. Could it be that the purpose of creating RIM and making the oath of Research In Motion is to serve those Are you the elite at the top of the pyramid? This is your ideal. The general public is not worthy of enjoying the changes brought about by your RIM?"

Zhao Changan's words struck Mike speechless from the moral high ground.

However, he was obviously still unconvinced. He thought for a long time and drank a glass of cold beer before saying: "The core of Blackberry is not the product itself, but the BES and BIS services. We build servers in North America to store users' information and provide them with better services." More convenient business services, but ordinary people don’t actually need this function.”

Zhao Changan couldn't say that what Mike said was wrong. Just like this year, even if Blackberry's stock price rose sharply, the total global sales of RIM 6230 and PAD were only US$2.2 million, not counting the castrated versions sold at the beginning of the year, which was less than 20 billion rmb.

Not to mention compared with those large global companies, even the sales of many domestic mobile phone manufacturers can easily crush it.

However, in terms of stock price, BlackBerry can lag behind those domestic listed companies. About two months later, BlackBerry's stock price suddenly dropped to the extreme value of 1.38 US dollars due to the violent turbulence of global stock markets, almost approaching the initial price of the stock. Issue price.

However, its stay at this price was very short-lived, and then it rose rapidly. By the end of the year, its total market value easily exceeded US$100 billion, which is 2.8 times the current total market value of US$123 and RMB 6.7 billion.

This kind of huge profit can drive people crazy.

It's not that he can't attract a large amount of funds in the market and attract too much glaring attention and unfounded speculation about the future. Zhao Changan dared to try to invest all the four to five billion funds in his hand.

And if he was really so stupid, he would probably be able to push the stock price to more than 20 US dollars, and he wouldn't even be able to raise too many shares. It would be a complete trap for himself.

"Why can't ordinary people use your server? Mike, I think your point of view is very ridiculous. Even if there is a reality that such Internet speed and paid usage prevent users, an excellent company must not only be based on the present, but also We need to take a long-term view and prepare in advance. I believe that in the future, ordinary users will be able to use BlackBerry in large numbers, which is the key to its success.”
