Top of the big era

There are relevant domestic laws and regulations. If foreign car companies come to China to develop, they must do so in the form of a joint venture. Foreign capital can only hold a maximum of 49% of the shares.

In the past, a very important reason for adopting such a plan was that the market replaced technology.

In the early years, the domestic automobile industry was almost blank. Fortunately, there is a huge domestic market. This is how market and technology exchanges are made. Foreign companies have made money, and the domestic automobile industry has related technologies.

These traditional large domestic car companies have basically developed in this way.

But foreigners are not stupid either.

It is impossible to bring the most advanced technology and production lines to the country, but only to bring some obsolete and unnecessary things to the country. This makes it difficult for these traditional domestic car companies to compete with foreign car companies in the technical field.

Tesla is different. There is no need to trade the market for technology.

We will not share some things that have been eliminated in the market. The open source ones are the industry's first-line patents and technical ideas.

This provides the basic conditions for making an exception for Tesla.

Tesla is different from those foreign car companies. Tesla can set up a wholly-owned factory in China.

But Zhou Buqi didn't expect that the power of the system was too strong and it would be difficult to adapt, so such an application was not approved. There is no other way. If the country does not approve it, Musk will not be able to give in. It is impossible for Tesla to build a factory in China in the short term.

From a profit perspective, it has no impact on Zhou Buqi.

Tesla is now delisted.

A financial investment in Tesla is inherently a long-term plan.

However, it is not good news for the domestic new energy vehicle industry.

The development of an industry requires a "big brother" to take the lead.

For example, Lenovo takes the lead in building the supply chain system of the PC industry; Asda takes the lead in building the supply chain of the mobile phone industry. Even with the great success of Chaowan Commune, the global supply chain of the blind box industry has been established in China, and more than a dozen emerging companies in the blind box industry have emerged in the country.

If the country wants to promote the development of new energy industry, who will be the “big brother”?

It will take several years for a new force that has just entered the scene to form a grassroots team.

Then hope can only fall on those traditional large car companies.

If they could rely on them to develop this industry, China would have been the world's largest automobile country in the 1960s and 1970s, and there would be no need for the humble and criticized mandatory market-for-technology policy to try to revitalize these large enterprises. .

Zhou Buqi felt very sorry.

Not because of myself, but because of the industry.

However, if he continues to make further unremitting efforts, all parties continue to mediate and lobby, and apply for the policy that allows Tesla to set up a wholly-owned factory in China at all costs, he really has no idea.

He doesn't want to use his face, connections and industry resources on these things.

The next day he went to Lenovo to visit Mr. Liu, who also mentioned the electric vehicle industry, "How is the development of the electric vehicle industry you are promoting?"

Zhou Buqi and Mr. Liu are both teachers and friends, so he was more frank. He hesitated and said: "Half and half, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve all the ideas. Many people think that I do this for personal reasons." For personal gain.”

"There are many things that outsiders may not be able to understand without being involved in them. No matter how hard you try, it will be useless." Mr. Liu gave a few pointers, "At this time, you must not get into trouble, as if the whole world is wrong and you are right. Then you keep pushing forward. Give others enough time. After a few years, they understand the meaning of your current suggestions, and then they will come back to you. "

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Yes, retreat is the way to advance."

Mr. Liu said: "This is all based on experience. If others don't believe you, then just let them go and watch their performance quietly. When they mess up and can't continue, they will come back and ask you to take care of them." The final game is yours. If you make some demands at this time, others will listen to you. This is actually a good thing. If these things didn't happen, I would have wanted to gain some management shares for Lenovo's management team. "

Lenovo also took the technical route at one time, but it ended up developing a bunch of products with self-developed technology that could not be sold, filling its warehouses, and losing hundreds of millions.

At this time, Mr. Liu came out to clean up the mess, cleaned up the technical faction, and successfully obtained a large amount of management shares, seizing control of Lenovo.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "I really don't do it for myself, I just want to do something big for the country and the people, and then leave a good reputation."

"That's not the case. Your good reputation has nothing to do with your achievements." Mr. Liu shook his head, and the two of them closed the door to talk about their experiences without any worries. "Only by being obedient can you have a good reputation, even if you accomplish nothing. If you don't Being obedient, no matter how great your achievements are, has no good reputation.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "I know, that's it. It's best if you agree. If you don't agree, I won't fight for it. That's it. As you said, after a few years they find out they made a mistake. we'll talk about it then!"

In a few years, the electric vehicle industry will really not be able to take off, and Adou, who cannot afford to be supported, does not have the ability to be a "big brother". There are people cheating on green license subsidies everywhere, so it is time to go back and invite him.

Let him push Tesla to build a wholly-owned factory in China.

Time is the best medicine and time has the most powerful power.

No matter how thick the fog is, it will slowly dissipate over time.

Next, we talked about Qualcomm. Mr. Liu still spoke from experience, "Yes, since there is an opportunity to join forces with Apple and Samsung at this time, we must not miss it and take action when it is time. If you are weak at this time, you may fall behind in the future." Lenovo is in such a passive situation.”

Zhou Buqi knew that he was referring to the restriction of Intel chips on Lenovo computers, and asked: "Is Intel okay? This time I went to the United States, I went to Intel specifically and it felt okay."

Mr. Liu said angrily: "That's because you were deceived by them. Intel may be a little better than Qualcomm, but it still takes advantage of its monopoly position in the PC processor market. Now in the field of mobile phone chips, there are also Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, and Samsung. , MediaTek is also making 4G chips... It is better to seize the current chaotic market situation and put restrictions on Qualcomm. Otherwise, Qualcomm's strategies will only become more and more excessive in the future, and industry profits will be eaten up by them. "

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "That's not bad. Mobile phone chips are not as complicated as computer chips, and the technical difficulty is not that high. Everyone is doing self-research, and Aisda's 4G self-developed chips will be used next summer. Apple will use them next summer. , Samsung, and Asda all have self-developed chips, and Qualcomm doesn’t dare to be too aggressive.”

Mr. Liu nodded, "That's fine. You suggest that the country launch an antitrust investigation against Qualcomm. I've already told them, and I agree. If the country doesn't take action at this time, what else will they do?"

Zhou Buqi coughed, changed the topic, and said with a smile: "By the way, how about BlackBerry? The current CEO of BlackBerry is a Chinese, one of our own. I heard that Samsung has always been interested in acquiring BlackBerry. . When it comes to cooperation, domestic mobile phone manufacturers must have priority.”

Mr. Liu asked: "Do they want to sell BlackBerry's mobile phone business brand, or do they want to retain the brand and only license it?"

Zhou Buqi said: "It's said to be authorization, but I think we can talk about it."

"It's meaningless if it's just licensing." Mr. Liu didn't believe those foreigners. "We licensed the brand and we did it for him, and the market sales increased. Later, he took back the authorization and made his own mobile phones to sell them." Wow, this trap is too big. Isn’t it the same as the Wong Lao Kat of previous years?”

Zhou Buqi pondered for a while and said slowly: "BlackBerry's brand value is very strong. As long as BlackBerry launches an Android version of its mobile phone and cancels the outdated physical keyboard, it will still have great recognition in the European and American markets, at least better than Lenovo." The brand is much stronger now.”

In fact, the best choice is for Asda to get the BlackBerry.

But now Asda has not been able to digest Motorola's assets, which is a bit overwhelming.

If Asda fails, we must push domestic mobile phone manufacturers to cooperate with BlackBerry.

If Lenovo doesn't want to, it can also go to manufacturers such as Meizu, Xiaomi, ZTE, TCL, and Skyworth.

Smartphones are terminal devices for mobile Internet.

It means a lot.

It has strategic value to the stability of Ziweixing International's overseas markets. BlackBerry must not be pushed into the arms of Koreans or Americans. This will pose a threat to the interests of Asda and Ziweixing International.

And as long as it works properly, BlackBerry will definitely have a place in the European and American markets.

Europe and America are different from China.

There are many "non-mainstream" people in Europe and the United States.

In the domestic market, most consumers are similar. If you use Apple, I will also buy Apple. If you use Huawei, I will also buy Huawei.

Most consumers follow this convergence logic.

Europe and the United States advocate individualization and want to be different from others.

BlackBerry is the best choice for this kind of "different".

In fact, the reason why later BlackBerry mobile phones were able to survive outside the mainland market was because of such niche differentiation, and they were able to occupy no less than 5% of the market share in the European and American markets.
