Chapter 382 Entering the European and American markets, attacking the basic base of Korean star Apple
The "Iron Bird" shuttled through darkness and day, arriving at the San Francisco Airport in the United States on the other side of the ocean. Lee Jae-yong, who was in a business suit and acted vigorously, did not stop for a moment. Head straight to Apple's ring-shaped headquarters in Cupertino.
Thirty minutes later.
In the reception room of Apple’s circular headquarters, Ke came to receive him in person wearing a simple POLO shirt and casual pants.
"President Li, you are a rare visitor."
Before Chen Xing came out to disrupt the situation, there were two dominant players in the mobile phone field. In addition to Apple mobile phones, they were Han Xing mobile phones.
Other mobile phones, such as Dami, Kunpeng, and Meilan, are not considered international brands, but only national and regional brands.
Of course, if we go back a few years ago, there was a Nokia brand.
But Nokia tried to buck the trend due to mistakes in its top management decisions, and the company was already in name only.
This means that in the international market of mobile phones, Korean stars and Apple mobile phones are actually competing.
Because in the "Struggle for Hegemony", the relationship between the two families will naturally not be much better. Similarly, the decision-makers of the two families will not be able to meet to reminisce about old times and discuss decisions.
If Pou Ke and Lee Jae-yong remember correctly, the last time they met alone was four years ago.
"President Pan Ke, you are well." Lee Jae-yong forced a smile, and the two shook hands in a friendly manner.
"Let's go to my office and talk." Pou Ke didn't want to waste too much time. He knew the purpose of Li Zaiyong's coming here.
"Please lead the way."
Lee Jae-yong nodded slightly.
The two of them walked from the reception room to the president's office.
When he came to the sofa in the negotiation area and sat down, Pou Ke asked politely: "President Li, would you like iced coffee or warm coffee?"
"Both are fine."
< br>Lee Jae-yong looked around.
Seeing that the other party was casual, Pou Ke didn't hesitate at all. He poured a cup of warm coffee for Lee Jae-yong and put two packets of sugar in front of him.
After doing all this, Pou Ke sat down again and asked slowly: "President Li is here this time. You must have something to discuss with me, right?"
< br>"Yes."
As Lee Jae-yong responded, he took a sip of coffee, and a bitter taste instantly filled his mouth. He put down the cup, looked at Pan Ke and continued:
< br>"Longxing Group is about to open up the entire Asian market. It is estimated that it will not be long before they come to the European and American markets. I think we can win-win cooperation and limit its expansion."
Europe and the United States are not just Korean stars. The market with the highest proportion of mobile phones is also the home base of Apple mobile phones. Neither company wants a third party to get involved. Lee Jae-yong will only come to Pou Ke to discuss it in person when there are common interests.
"What do you want me to do?"
Pouque asked.
In fact, he had already guessed Li Zaiyong’s intention, and he also knew that Longxing Group was currently killing everyone in the ancient Xiangguo market.
Pineapple companies supported by Baile Group and Linghang Group are almost unable to resist, and their market share is plummeting.
Since Longxing Group's expansion speed is indeed very fast, Pou Ke also has a headache. During this period, he has been thinking about how to restrain its development.
“Media slander.”
Lee Jae-yong said it very straightforwardly.
"How to discredit?" Pou Ke narrowed his eyes and asked for specific methods.
"American media plays a decisive role in the European and American markets. I hope you can contact well-known media to steal user privacy and take photos to give Longxing Group a head-on blow and slow down its development."< br>
Lee Jae-yong responded in a deep voice.
He knows very well that the vast majority of Western media are in the hands of Jewish capital, and even many well-known film and television companies, such as Warner Group and Disney Media, have their holdings.
Once upon a time, many people felt sympathy for the plight of the Jews, thinking that they were innocent and a pitiful group whose families had been destroyed.
But as you learn more about it, you will find that the suffering they experienced was actually caused by themselves.
For example, a bowl of rice sells to you for 500 yuan, a pack of pickled mustard costs 200 yuan, and your income is only 4,000 yuan. At this time, you have a gun, and you ask whether the bolt of your gun will pop. cigarette?
It was precisely because of this bottomless, crazy method of amassing money to raise prices that the Jewish community was centralized and liquidated.
But what about movies?
Only the suffering part was filmed, not the reasons.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is precisely because Jewish capital purchased a large number of international film production companies to whitewash them that people who do not know the truth feel that they are pitiful.
This also shows how terrible it is to control the media.
Pou Ke did not respond immediately, but took a sip of coffee with sugar and asked in confusion: "Longxing Mobile is stealing users' privacy?"
"I have no definite evidence. , but you don’t need definite evidence, right?”
Lee Jae-yong asked.
Is the media still doing too little to confuse right and wrong?
Some clips just need a little editing to make them mean something else.
The media is an invisible sword, and with just a little editing, thousands of viewers can become complicit.
However, Pou Ke frowned, shook his head and said: "It would not be a joke if such unfounded things were to be cracked down. Maybe we can start with the camera function."
His heart was moved, but he did not lose his mind.
Seeing that the other party agreed, Lee Jae-yong immediately pursued the victory and said: "I have already made a plan, I just need to put it into place."
"Oh?"
Pou Ke was a little surprised and asked: "Let me take a look first?"
"Of course."
Li Zaiyong smiled and saw that he took out a USB flash drive and placed it on desktop.
Seeing that the other party was well prepared, Pou Ke immediately picked up the USB flash drive and walked to his desk, then inserted the USB flash drive in his hand into the computer.
A moment later.
He couldn't help but smile and said: "This is good."
"Is it settled then?"
Lee Jae-yong asked.
“Yes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and we don’t want Longxing Mobile to set foot in the European and American markets.” Pou Ke responded.
The West is all too familiar with using the media to discredit Longxing Mobile.
Besides, this time they are not slandering, they are just exaggerating the shortcomings of Longxing Mobile Phone, which is normal business competition.
Within less than ten minutes of conversation, Lee Jae-yong and Pou Ke hit it off immediately.
……
And on the other side.
Ancient Xiang Kingdom.
As the Mao Xiong, Japanese, Korean, and Southeast Asian markets were all opened, Li Zhenzhen also came to the Ancient Elephant Kingdom in West Asia.
Because she had heard about Ah San’s outrageous deeds, she always brought more than five bodyguards with her when traveling, and she also legally held a gun.
But one thing to say is that Longxing Group’s entry into the Guxiang Kingdom market has been smooth. There is no chaebol to block it, and there is no resistance from the West. Even Guxiang officials are opening a green channel to promote Longxing mobile phones in the media for free. .
Even if a pineapple phone pops out in the middle, it doesn't pose any threat.
Xu Jinshui, the CEO of the ancient Xiangguo Rice Company who passed the test of the All-Inspection Conference and changed it into a pineapple company, is already panicking and wants to escape.
He once boasted that he could go head-to-head with Chen Xing in Haikou.
As a result, Chen Xing didn't come, and the two of them didn't even fight. He couldn't handle the fact that Li Zhenzhen came to the Guxiangguo market.
With the blessing of 5G network, the low-priced Longxing mobile phone is almost indiscriminately sold.
Knowing the perversion of the All-Seeing Society, Xu Jinshui just packed up some belongings and bought a ticket to Switzerland.
While waiting for his flight at the airport, he glanced at the time on his watch from time to time.
"It's probably still too late." Switzerland is a permanently neutral country. As long as they escape to Switzerland, they should be fine, Xu Jinshui murmured to himself.
"Excuse me."
Suddenly.
Youdao female voice sounded behind him.
Xu Jinshui had just turned around when he suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his abdomen. He looked down and saw a needle.
He wanted to shout.
The next second!
A hand stretched out from behind him and covered his mouth with a handkerchief. Within a moment, Xu Jinshui's consciousness began to blur.
Even if he was killed, he would not have expected that the All-Visiting Society would move so quickly. Even when he was queuing up, there were people in front and behind him.
"锵锵锵——"
I don’t know how much time passed before the harsh sound of the collision of knives reached my ears.
It seemed that some unforgettable memory was evoked, and Xu Jinshui was frightened. He quickly opened his bloodshot pupils and subconsciously wanted to get up and make a protective posture.
But when he tried to use force, he realized that he had been tied up at some point, and a piece of cloth was stuffed in his mouth, so that he could only make a sound of "Uh-huh", and the place he slept in was not a bed. , turned out to be a dining table.
On the clean white dining table, there is a bright incandescent lamp above the head. On both sides, diners wearing half-face masks covering their eyes and noses are clashing knives and forks, making a "clang" sound.
“This scene!”
“Is it my turn?”
Xu Jinshui was so frightened that his whole body was shaking.
He was also forced to participate in it. He often dreamed of that scene every night, and finally woke up due to retching.
But even if he was beaten to death, he would never have imagined that All Seeing would be so cruel, either to eat meat or fish on the chopping board.
The melodious European classical music sounded, and Xu Jinshui also closed his eyes. He knew that what was supposed to come would still come.
At the last second of his life, he was wondering if the outcome would have been different if he had not changed his nationality, stabbed the Dragon Country mobile phone manufacturer in the back, or approached the Bailey Group?
At least you don’t have to end up like a traitor’s lackey, expelled from the country, or die in a foreign country.
……
Li Zhenzhen still doesn’t know that her obstacles in the Ancient Xiang Kingdom have been cleared.
Of course.
It doesn’t matter even if you know.
She didn’t even pay attention to patchwork machines like the Pineapple Phone.
And she also discovered that although the Pineapple mobile phone was sold cheaply, the materials used were not simple. Not only did it have a Snapdragon chip, but also a Sony camera module, which was purely a waste of money for subsidies.
Her response to this situation is consumption.
One will wax and wane, let’s see who dies faster!
But a few days later, she discovered that the offline stores of the Pineapple brand were closing, and senior officials from Ancient Xiangguo rarely visited.
In the office, Li Zhenzhen showed no stage fright when facing the three senior officials of Guxiang.
The senior executive of Guxiang sitting in the middle took out a document and said in a sincere tone:
"Miss Li Zhenzhen, after an in-depth investigation by our investigation team, the rice company does not have any violations. Since we can't contact Rebus and apologize in person, we would like to ask you to convey to him, thank you very much."
"Yes."
Li Zhenzhen agreed without hesitation.
She knew that Chen Xing and Rebus were good friends. Although she didn’t know what Gu Xiangguo had planned, she still had no problem conveying it.
"Then there is one more thing." The senior executive of the Ancient Elephant Kingdom continued.
Li Zhenzhen: "Please tell me." "We hope that the rice company can come back to Ancient Xiang Kingdom. In addition, do you think we can discuss the cost of network operation?"
< br>
After the words fell, Li Zhenzhen took a tough stance and replied: "I will try my best to contact people, but the network operating expenses will be as much as they are. If we cannot pay, then we will treat it as a breach of contract."
"Okay, okay. ”
The senior officials of Guxiang Kingdom are also afraid.
He just said it casually. They also hoped that the popularization of 5G high-speed network would drive the development of their IT industry.
"Then I won't disturb you."
"I won't disturb you."
The three senior officials of Ancient Xiang Kingdom got up and were about to leave the office.
Li Zhenzhen did not hold back. He also stood up and said: "I won't give it away. I hope our cooperation can be long-lasting."
"I hope so."
"Definitely ”
The senior officials of Guxiang Kingdom responded and then left the office.
As soon as they left, Li Zhenzhen couldn't help showing a look of disgust, and called his secretary: "Throw away all these tea sets."
"Huh?"
The secretary was stunned for half a second, then nodded quickly and said: "I understand."
The reason why Li Zhenzhen hates Asan is not only because these people like to go back on their word and are moody, but also because they oppress women.
No matter what aspect, she doesn’t like this country.
When the secretary packed up the tea sets and left the office, Li Zhenzhen looked at the time. It should be daytime in Long Country. She did not use email, but made an international call directly.
A moment later.
The call is connected.
“Zhenzhen, what’s going on?”
Chen Xing's voice came out.
"That's it." Li Zhenzhen told everything about the ancient Xiang Kingdom, and then added: "President, look..."
She did not finish her words, but The suspense was left to Chen Xing.
After learning that the Pineapple Company was liquidated, Chen Xing did not feel any emotions in his heart.
A year ago, it was the biggest opponent of Longxing Technology, but now, it is not something it can resist against such a behemoth as Longxing Group.
But thinking about the relationship between Xu Jinshui and his father, Chen Xing still asked politely: "How is Xu Jinshui?"
"I don't know, there is no news."
Li Zhenzhen responded.
She indeed hadn’t heard from Xu Jinshui for two days. She guessed that he might have been imprisoned like Rebus.
“I understand, if the market stabilizes, we will send suitable manpower to take over and continue to head towards the western market.”
Chen Xing instructed.
“Understood.” Li Zhenzhen nodded and replied: “It should be that the business of Guxiang Kingdom has stabilized in the past two days.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
"It's not hard, you should do it."
"I still have something to do here, so hang up the phone first. If you encounter any problems, just come to me."
"Okay."
After the two briefly talked, the phone was hung up.
Chen Xing took off the phone from his ear, clicked on the address book next to the call, looked for Rebus' number and dialed it.
"Beep beep——"
After a few busy signals, Rebus's highly recognizable and elegant voice came out.
"Brother Chen?"
Obviously, Rebus was a little surprised, why did Chen Xing call him suddenly.
Chen Xing did not rush to talk, but first asked the other party if it was not convenient to call: "Brother Lei, are you busy over there?"
"It's okay, what's the matter?"
Rebus asked rhetorically.
Seeing that the other party was not busy, Chen Xing took advantage of the situation and told the story: "The Guxiang Kingdom said they couldn't contact you and wanted you to go back to the rice company that runs the Guxiang Market."
< br>“Pull him down.”
Rebus refused directly.
His experience in the Ancient Xiang Kingdom had completely darkened his view of that market. It was a rogue market.
The most important thing is that the ancient elephant makes money and the ancient elephant flower cannot take home a cent.
As for Gu Xiangguo’s abacus, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is simply that they don’t want Longxing Group to be the dominant player in the 5G field. Because they signed a contract at the “5G Network International Conference”, they can take this money home. Yes, that’s why the senior officials of Guxiang don’t want Longxing Group to make money, but they have no choice now.
“I don’t want to go into that shitty market again.”
Rebus criticized unceremoniously.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Chen Xing changed the topic and asked: "Is the electronic control system completed?"
"Yes, it was just conquered." While answering, Rebus continued: "We are about to enter the vehicle assembly process. Will you come to the site to provide personal guidance?"
"I will go in a few days."
< br>Chen Xing smiled.
Recently, he has been busy building a "supercomputer" to provide computing power for artificial intelligence. After this time, he will be free.
Hearing this, Rebus also said with a smile: "Okay, when you get to Fengtian, Boss Ren and I will take you to take a bath."
"Here we go again. ?”
Chen Xing almost couldn't hold himself any longer.
The last time he purchased the factory of Brilliance Group, the boss of Brilliance wanted to act like a song and dance troupe. The most outrageous thing was that Song Weiguo personally came to "anti-pornography" and almost sent them in.
"It's a joke, but you really need to come here. After all, our electric cars need you to check the quality."
Rebus smiled.
“Let’s talk about it then.”
Chen Xing already knew what was going on.
However, compared to electric cars, he is more concerned about the launch of new mobile phone products. This is the last piece of his business map in the mobile phone field and is urgently needed.
After the advent of camera phones, he wanted to see who would dare to say that Longguo was not good in the field of optics.
......
In the next few days, after Li Zhenzhen stabilized the market in Ancient Xiang Kingdom, he handed over all the business to the president who was stationed in Ancient Xiang Kingdom.
Whether it is Mao Xiong, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, or the resident president of the ancient Xiangguo market, they are all candidates chosen by Chen Xing.
They are none other than the management talents recruited by the system.
The local Longxing Group did not dare to use it more because Chen Xing was worried about being "investigated".
Just imagine, if the executives and employees of a local company are of Chinese descent, will there be a possibility of being regulated and investigated?
Therefore, in the public executive information, Chen Xing uses as few system talents as possible in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
But the international branch has no such worries. No matter how awesome other countries are, they can't go to the Dragon Kingdom to investigate people, right?
This is why Chen Xing dared to let Li Zhenzhen open up the market and hand over full power to the resident president.
As for Li Zhenzhen, she didn't know that he was a system talent, and thought he was a "original stock" brother who worked hard with Chen Xing.
As time goes by, Longxing Group's "Western Expedition Plan" becomes smoother and smoother, with almost no obstacles encountered.
Even in the most chaotic Middle East, when our Longxing Group came to promote, we tacitly chose a ceasefire.
Of course.
This is also due to Saudi Arabia.
After Li Zhenzhen arrived in the Middle East, the Saudi prince posted on social media that anyone who dared to provoke a dispute at this time would be suppressed by Saudi Arabia with a nuclear strike.
Not only Saudi Arabia, but also Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs also made similar remarks, making it rare for the Middle East to usher in peace after decades of war.
Without any opponent, Li Zhenzhen completed the Longxing mobile phone layout in the entire Middle East in only ten days.
In Dubai and Qatar, which are extremely wealthy, in order to show their differences, their tycoons even asked Li Zhenzhen to set the sale price of Longxing X2 and Longxing A1 in the Dubai and Qatar markets at US$10,000. The platform became a machine exclusively for nobles.
Don’t think they are stupid, they just want to use money to gain a sense of superiority.
Why can luxury goods exist?
The process is complicated?
Extremely high quality?
Ornamental?
No!
It’s for a sense of superiority.
As long as an ordinary white T-shirt is printed with the brand LOGO of Chanel, Balenciaga or Dior, it will be unique and can be sold for ten times or even a hundred times the price.
Why can it be sold for so much money?
Sense of superiority!
As long as ordinary people cannot afford it, those who can afford it will gain a sense of superiority.
The same goes for brand-name bags, brand-name shoes, and expensive sports cars. They all pay for a sense of superiority.
Although the wealthy people in the Middle East strongly requested it, this deviated from the original intention of Longxing Mobile Phone. After Li Zhenzhen asked Chen Xing for instructions, he did not agree to their request for a price increase.
This is mainly because Chen Xing feels that raising the price of mobile phones in a certain area may be used by interested people to make a fuss.
The Western media has been keeping an eye on the Longxing Group.
In addition, the small number is afraid of the long-term calculation. Compared with the local wealthy market of hundreds of thousands, and the civilian market of tens of millions or even over 100 million, the two earn about the same, so there is no need to make extra efforts.
As late October approaches, Longxing mobile phones are already available in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, leaving only the most difficult regions in Europe and the United States.
Since Germany is now an "alliance", Chen Xing also advocated that Li Zhenzhen start from Germany to build the headquarters of Longxing Group in Europe, and then expand the market to surrounding countries.
Originally everything was going smoothly. As usual, Li Zhenzhen bought an office building, recruited local employees, negotiated to launch an online shopping platform, and opened an offline direct store.
But as the basic work was completed and the phone was being warmed up for sale, Apple suddenly released an advertising video on social media, which was immediately forwarded by European and American media.
At the beginning of the promotional video, the sentence "Don't let inferior lenses ruin your beauty" is very simple and crude. I directly pulled up the Longxing mobile phone for comparison, followed by various photography tests.
Portraits.
Landscape.
Focus.
Motion capture.
There is no doubt that Longxing mobile phones are completely beaten by Apple mobile phones. There are even selfie comparisons of models from around the world at the back of the promotional video.
Taken with an Apple phone, it’s so beautiful.
The photos taken by Long Xing on his mobile phone are horrific.
At the end of the advertising video, the phrase "Don't let inferior lenses ruin your beauty" appears again and becomes the embellishment of the video.
Li Zhenzhen looked at the soaring number of likes and the collective forwarding by various European and American media. She knew very well that this was Apple's move to protect its own base.
The European and American markets are the main battlefields for Apple mobile phones and Korean mobile phones. If Longxing Mobile phones are allowed to intervene and form a three-legged situation, their market shares will be significantly reduced.
Faced with his opponent’s exaggerated slander, Li Zhenzhen twirled the pen in his right hand and muttered to himself: “If you like advertising, let’s have fun.”
