Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 820 Brilliance is Fragile

2008 is an important dividing line in the mobile phone industry. On the one hand, the traditional mobile phone giants reached the peak of sales this year. On the other hand, smart phones began to rise in an all-round way.

Whether it is Apple in the United States, opoo and wiwo in China, Huawei mobile phones that will soon enter the market, or Samsung mobile phones in Bangzi Country, which will release its own smartphones next week, they have all begun to smell the bright future of smartphones.

At this time, it would be a lie to say that Guanghui Mobile has no pressure at all.

"We will proceed according to your plan. At this year's Glorious Mobile World Developers Conference, we will officially launch Gphone2, and launch Gpad2 and Gpad mini at the same time," Jiang Hui said.

The appearance of Gpad2 is basically the same as Gpad, but the chip, memory, battery, screen and operating system have been upgraded.

The Gpad mini is even simpler, basically a reduced version of the Gpad.

These two tasks have been arranged by Jiang Hui before, and the progress is faster than that of Gphone, and trial production has already started.

"No problem, these projects can be completed on time, but I estimate that this year's smartphone market competition will become fierce, and more competitors will enter the market," Pi Wei said.

"Where there is money to be made, capital will flow there. This is an inevitable thing. You can't always eat alone with Guanghui Mobile." Jiang Hui is not too worried about the entry of new competitors. The main competitor is Apple. In addition, Samsung in Bangziguo counts as half, and the others are ignored.

Needless to say, taking Apple as an opponent, the Gphone itself is "stealing" Apple's idea. Compared with Jobs, he has already vomited blood.

The mobile phone project with high expectations was robbed of the limelight by Gphone before it was launched. After the listing, the gap was so large that Apple's stock price was affected to a certain extent.

But Jobs is Jobs after all, and with him, Apple cannot be deduced by common sense. Although the performance of the first-generation iPhone is far inferior to Gphone, this does not mean that the next-generation iPhone will still be so watery.

According to the progress of history, the new version of iPhone launched by Apple this year is nothing to be scared about, but history has been changed by Jiang Hui, the butterfly, and Apple's iPhone is destined to not follow the rhythm of the previous life.

So will Apple release a new iPhone at the Worldwide Developers Conference in the middle of this year?
In Jiang Hui's view, this is basically an inevitable problem, but it's hard to say how the new iPhone will perform.

However, not to mention how much it surpasses the Gphone, Jiang Hui thinks that at least the hardware performance will not be inferior to the Gphone. As for the appearance, it is hard to say.

"Indeed, I have asked the marketing department to pay close attention to the smartphone plans of various mobile phone companies. The latest is Samsung's smartphone launch next week," Pi Wei said.

"Samsung's smartphones have started the fastest among the traditional mobile phone giants. I guess they will be officially launched soon after they are released next week. Let's wait and see," Jiang Hui said.

If it weren't for the profound impact on the supply chain of Samsung's mobile phone industry, Jiang Hui would not be very worried about the competitiveness of Samsung's mobile phones.

However, whether it is a glorious mobile phone or an Apple mobile phone, some parts are purchased from Samsung. In this case, when Samsung’s smartphone is released and competes with the glorious mobile phone, it is difficult to say whether the stick will be in the supply. card brilliant phone.

Samsung did similar things in the previous life.

"Understood, the popularity of smart phones is slowly rising, but which manufacturers have grasped the true meaning of smart phones like us, we really need to wait and see."

"We rely on innovative ideas, integrate the current resources in the industry, and combine our beautiful design to achieve the brilliance of Gphone, but this brilliance is very fragile," Jiang Hui suddenly said with emotion.

Zhu Zhengfeng and Dai Fuqian were stunned when they heard Jiang Hui's words.

From the perspective of the company's business, Guanghui Mobile's balance sheet, cash flow statement and other data are very beautiful. The current sales situation is also booming, and there is no problem at all.

"Mr. Jiang, I don't understand what you said. Is there something wrong with our company?" Dai Fugan asked a little nervously.

"If I remember correctly, the core components of Gphone, chips, memory, and motherboards are all imported, right?" Jiang Hui said, frowning.

"That's true, but domestic mobile phone manufacturers are basically like this. Even Apple is also imported from South Korea, island countries and Taiwan with electronic components and hired OEMs to produce them," said Dai Fuqian.

"The economies of all countries are now going global. Fully open industries such as mobile phones and automobiles are supplied globally. This is considered a normal situation in the industry," Zhu Zhengfeng added.

"What you said is not wrong. Even for a company as powerful as Nokia, most of the parts are purchased from outside, but everyone should not forget that we are a Chinese company, a Chinese private company, and China is a Chinese company. What kind of country?" Jiang Hui said, looking at Dai Fugan and Zhu Zhengfeng.

"Mr. Jiang, are you worried about wars or something? I think that since the atomic bomb was released, it is impossible for major powers in the world to have large-scale wars," Zhu Zhengfeng said.
"Wars are gone, but trade disputes happen every day. Go and see how many anti-dumping investigations Chinese companies have suffered in these years?".

Anti-dumping investigation refers to the investigation that the importing country adopts anti-dumping duties and other investigations on the dumping behavior that causes damage to the industry of the importing country according to the law. The market is fair.

This policy itself can be regarded as a good policy, but it has been misused by others.

Like the United States, it launches an anti-dumping investigation against China every now and then.

Anti-dumping investigations can be initiated in the United States in two ways: first, interested parties submit written applications to the International Trade Commission and the Ministry of Commerce, requesting anti-dumping investigations on certain commodities.

The second bell is the anti-dumping investigation launched by the Ministry of Commerce itself.

But in fact, almost all anti-dumping investigations are initiated by interested parties.

Stakeholders include foreign manufacturers, exporters or U.S. importers of the products under investigation and foreign governments that produce the same products, but mainly refer to manufacturers, producers, wholesalers, labor unions and trade associations, etc.

The Ministry of Commerce must make a decision on whether to accept the application within 20 days from the date of receipt of the application.When the Ministry of Commerce makes this decision, it mainly considers whether various reasons and factors for imposing anti-dumping duties are put forward in the application.

If Commerce decides to proceed, it should publish its decision in the Federal Register and begin an antidumping investigation.

If Commerce decides not to proceed, it shall dismiss the application and publish its decision in the Federal Register.

Basically, it can be said that any American company that feels that it cannot compete with China's competitors can give up applying for an anti-dumping investigation. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, it will disgust you first.
