Chapter 260 251: $30 billion in repair costs

Of course, not everyone can be as sober as Shen Wei.

You must know that competition in the mobile phone market in this era is very fierce, and the entire mobile phone market is as chaotic as the Warring States Period.

Bird, ZTE, Lenovo, Meizu, Coolpad, Amoi, Panda, Huawei, Gionee, Tianyu, Haier, Nicai.

All the domestic brands combined can be counted on ten fingers. After seeing this news, some irrational bosses, like sharks smelling blood, convened a meeting with senior management to see how to seize the market.

But most brands are destined to die in the end.

Foshan Gionee Headquarters.

Liu Zhineng was calling the person in charge of Micromax, Jin Liyuan’s mobile phone manufacturer partner in Asan.

Gionee began cooperating with Indian mobile phone manufacturer Micromax in 2007 to OEM mobile phones for it. It once became Micromax's largest supplier, accounting for 60% of its output.

Micromax has achieved annual sales of 500 million units in the Asan Kingdom with the mobile phones manufactured by Gionee.

"Mr. Sanjay Gandhi, I have something to discuss with you," Liu Zhineng said.

"Liu, you don't know what's going on?" Sanjay Gandhi asked.

"Mr. Sanjay, due to the adjustment of our company's business, after the expiration of this contract, we will no longer be able to provide OEM services for your company." Liu Zhineng said.

"Why, don't we work well together?" Sanjay Gandhi asked.

"Mr. Sanjay, our boss has sold the company to a new boss. As soon as the new boss came, he adjusted all the business and even discontinued all our existing products." Liu Zhineng said.

"Is there no chance for us to cooperate? How about you give me your boss's phone number and I can communicate with him personally?" Sanjay Gandhi said.

"Mr. Sanjay, our boss has given a death order. I am only responsible for informing you. Our boss will not change this decision. In order to better complete our contract, I hope you will pay the arrears before." The payment for the goods, as well as the prepayment that needs to be made in the future, otherwise we will not be able to supply you with the subsequent goods. If you still have OEM needs, I can introduce you to an OEM." Liu Zhineng said.

After Kong Huimin saw the cooperation data between Gionee and Micromax, she immediately issued an order to Liu Zhineng, asking him to immediately find Micromax for settlement.

Not to mention that Gionee Mobile will only produce mobile phones for Deep Blue Mobile Phones in the future, but Micromax’s payment speed is very disappointing. Micromax has not yet settled the payment that should have been settled 2 months ago, not to mention the low profit of OEM feature phones. It’s so scary that you can’t even earn 50 Soft Girl Coins from OEMing a mobile phone.

Kong Huimin couldn't even look at this small amount of money. Shenlan Medical Machinery made more money than him by selling a box set.

What's more, Kong Huimin also saw from historical records that Micromax has always been in the habit of not settling payments on time.

Whoever is willing to do this kind of business without making money and still having to pay for goods in arrears can do it.

"Liu, how can you do this? You must deliver goods to us on time, otherwise our entire company will stagnate. Do you know how much money our company will lose because of your actions?" Sanjay Gandhi said angrily. .

"Mr. Sanjay, our boss has issued a death order. If you are unable to settle the payment on time, we will not send subsequent goods. If your company causes losses due to this, it is also the reason why your company has not fulfilled its obligations. Liu Zhineng said very calmly.

The reason Liu Zhineng could be so calm was because Micromax only owed 500 million. After Han Chen learned this figure, Han Chen asked him to try his best to recover the money. If Micromax was unwilling to pay, let him find someone to pay. Lawyer A Sanguo sued the other party. As for subsequent shipments, he couldn't even think about it.

In fact, Liu Zhineng also hates cooperation with Micromax because Micromax's ability to default on payment is too strong, so Liu Lirong can tolerate Micromax's default.

The problem is that it's hard to endure. Every time the money needs to be recovered, it's not Liu Zhineng who is the one doing the chasing.

Liu Zhineng always asked his grandfather to sue his grandmother for payment, but the other party still took several months to settle the payment.

"Liu, if you can't deliver the goods to us on time, I won't be able to settle the payment for you. Let your boss think about it." Sanjay Gandhi said as if a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

In Sanjay Gandhi's view, the uncle is the one who owes the debt. Besides, Asan Kingdom is so far away from China. If you have the ability, you can come to Asan Kingdom to collect debts.

"Mr. Sanjay, if you don't settle the payment on time, we can only entrust the embassy to communicate. I have said all I have to say. I hope you can settle the payment to us quickly, otherwise we will have to go to court. ." Liu Zhineng said.

"Do whatever you like." Sanjay Gandhi said and hung up the phone.

Liu Zhineng was very helpless when he heard that Sanjay Gandhi was going to play rogue. After hanging up the phone, he planned to go to Kong Huimin to report the situation in person.

Gionee Chairman's Office.

Kong Huimin and Han Chen also just sent away the district chiefs of Wanshi and Foshan.

One of the two returned with interest, while the other returned with disappointment.

There is no way Han Chen wants to move Jinli away. Even if he wants to stop it, there is no reason or way to stop Shen Lan from moving the entire Jinli.

"Dong~dong~dong"

After seeing the two off, Han Chen and Kong Huimin returned to the tea table to drink tea.

"Is there anything wrong with Liu Zhi?" Kong Huimin asked.

"Mr. Kong, Mr. Han, I have just communicated with Sanjay Gandhi of Micromax. He is not willing to settle the arrears to us and requires us to send the remaining goods to them." Liu Zhineng walked in. Report from the office.

"Then contact the embassy and see if they can help us find a lawyer to sue them. In addition, the company will no longer cooperate with merchants from Asan Kingdom unless they can pay in full and we do not cover transportation. , only then any department of the group is allowed to cooperate with Asanguo.

If you really can’t get the money back, forget it. Anyway, you don’t have much money, so just use it as poverty alleviation. "Han Chen said.

"Okay, Mr. Han." Liu Zhineng replied.

April 2010, 8, US time.

A Tudor-style mansion built in the 30s in Silicon Valley.

Mr. Qiao finally returned home after staying in the hospital for 5 days. At this time, Mr. Qiao had become a crooked-mouthed dragon due to the stroke. Although his hands and feet were still uncontrollable, his speaking ability had returned to the state where he could communicate. .

"Ku~Ku~Ku, I~I~I~" Mr. Qiao stammered while sitting in his wheelchair.

Cook means that he wants to entrust the fruit company to Cook, hoping that Cook can take over his work and take care of the fruits.

"Don't worry, Mr. Qiao, I will definitely manage the fruits well. Alois recommends that you go to China to see a doctor. Do you want to go to China?" Cook asked.

"No, no, no, go." Mr. Qiao said stubbornly.

Mr. Qiao has some prejudice against China. Mr. Qiao believes that the Chinese market is full of all kinds of copycat products. Even some technology giants always lack innovation and focus on imitation or plagiarism. Their products can always find the shadow of others. .

Mr. Joe hopes that his fruit is perfect and loved by everyone. However, once counterfeit products appear and the crackdown is not strong enough, the damage to the real brand will be huge, so for a long time, Jobs was unwilling to let Fruit is sold to China, which is one of the reasons why Jobs hates China. It is precisely for these reasons that Mr. Qiao believes that it is impossible for Chinese doctors to cure him.

"Okay." Cook replied simply.

Because he knew Master Qiao's character so well that no one could force him to do anything, and his continued persuasion would be useless.

"Small, small, small, heart, heart, deep, deep, deep, blue, blue." Master Qiao said.

"I understand." Cook nodded.

In the past few days, Cook has also realized the threat of Deep Blue mobile phones. In the past six days, Deep Blue mobile phones have sold another 6 million units in Europe and the United States. The sales of iPhone 120 have dropped to the same level as Deep Blue mobile phones.

If he couldn't see the threat posed by Deep Blue Mobile Phone, he would be unqualified to succeed Mr. Qiao as CEO.

However, Cook couldn't think of any good way to deal with it for a while. Judging from the current situation, they are indeed lagging behind Deep Blue in some places.

"Ling~Ling~Ling"

At this moment, Cook's cell phone in his pocket rang.

[Caller: Jonathan Ivey]

"It's a call from Jonathan. I'll answer the phone first," Cook said.

"Yeah." Master Qiao said.

Then Cook walked aside and pressed the answer button to answer the call.

"Boss, Deep Blue Network Security has sent us a message back. They have detected 463 vulnerabilities on our system. If we want to fix these vulnerabilities, we will have to pay US$30 billion." Jonathan Ivey said.

At first, Xiang Tao was very surprised when he received the fruit order, but he did not accept the order immediately.

Xiang Tao reported the matter directly to Han Chen, so Han Chen asked him to do an evaluation first. In the end, 463 vulnerabilities were detected on their fruit system.

At first, Xiang Tao thought that with so many loopholes, he could earn at least one or two billion US dollars, so he reported the evaluation results directly to Han Chen and reported the estimated cost to Han Chen.

But Han Chen's words made him freeze up, because Han Chen asked for 30 billion US dollars as soon as he opened his mouth. If Xiang Tao didn't know how rich the company was, he would have suspected that Han Chen was going crazy because he didn't want money.

"Walt? Are you sure it's not US$3 million but US$30 billion?" Cook said in disbelief.

"Yes," Jonathan Ivey replied.

"I understand." Cook said and hung up the phone.

Even if Fruit's current market value is as high as 2900 billion, it would still be a stretch to spend 30 billion on Fruit. The problem is that the reality is more serious than they imagined.

Cook never expected that the fruit system would have 463 vulnerabilities, but if they did not solve these 463 vulnerabilities, the security of the fruit would be a joke.

"What, what, what?" Master Qiao asked after seeing Cook coming back.

"Mr. Qiao, I need you to remain absolutely calm before telling you this news, otherwise I won't be able to tell you completely about it," Cook said.

"Okay, okay, tell me." Master Qiao said.

"Deep Blue Network Security detected 463 vulnerabilities on the fruit system. To fix these vulnerabilities, they require us to pay US$30 billion." Cook said.

"Tu, soil, soil, soil, soil, soil, bandits, give, give, give, give, them." Master Qiao said.

Although Mr. Qiao didn't want to pay such a large sum of money to Deep Blue, this matter was related to the life and death of the iOS phone. Now, they had to give Deep Blue the money even if they didn't want to.

You must know that there are no loopholes in Deep Blue's Android system, once Deep Blue shares these technologies with Google.

Then the Google system will be better than Fruit Phone in terms of security. By then, Fruit Phone will be surrounded by a large number of Android phones. By then, Fruit will go to Deep Blue to fix these vulnerabilities. It is estimated that Android phones have already taken over the market of Fruit Phone. All taken away.

When Fruit wants to regain these market shares, they will have to pay a price of more than 30 billion US dollars. Mr. Qiao is still very decisive in the face of big rights and wrongs.

"No, no, no, over, must, must, require, deep, deep, deep, blue, confidentiality." Mr. Qiao added.

Although they can spend 30 billion US dollars to fix these vulnerabilities for Deep Blue, they must not let outsiders know about this matter. Let outsiders know that this is not an admission that Deep Blue’s security technology is the best. Even their fruits will cost them. Pay heavily to Deep Blue Security to fix vulnerabilities.

If the public is made aware of this matter, they will not forget it in the short term, which will have a certain impact on the fruit brand.

"Okay." Cook said.

September 2010, 8, China time.

Han Chen returned to Shenzhen City from Foshan alone. Kong Huimin still had unfinished business, so the two could only postpone their return for one day.

The two female goblins at home haven't seen Han Chen for a week, and they also squeezed Han Chen clean last night.

However, even if the two women tried their best, they were still no match for Han Chen.

Deep Blue Cyber ​​Security Company.

In the office, Xiang Tao is processing daily documents as usual.

"Ling~Ling~Ling"

After hearing the phone ring, Xiang Tao picked up the phone and saw that the caller was Lu Lei.

Luray has served as the vice president of Fruit Computer Company (Fruit Computer was renamed Fruit Company in January 2006) since April 4. At that time, he was responsible for managing the sales business in Asia and reported to John Brandon, who was responsible for the US and Asia Pacific business.

He is personally responsible for communicating with Deep Blue Network to provide security services for Fruit.

"Mr. Lu, good morning." Xiang Tao greeted with a smile after answering the phone.

"Mr. Xiang, the headquarters has agreed to the cooperation, but we need you to sign a confidentiality agreement. This matter is not allowed to be disclosed to people outside our two companies. If you are willing to sign a confidentiality agreement, then we can do it at any time. Signed," Luray said. (End of chapter)
