Chapter 134: Self-help
After the meeting, Meiliguo teamed up with its own Internet companies to ban local mobile phone brands from Longguo from using their mobile operating systems.
This is undoubtedly the last straw that breaks the camel's back!
Originally, the entire local mobile phone brands in the Dragon Kingdom were barely holding on. I hope that the country and the Beautiful Country will reach an agreement quickly to lift the chip sanctions, so that they can survive!
Then the wait came, the sanctions on the mobile operating system of the beautiful country!
The most important hardware in a mobile phone is the chip, and the most important software is the operating system. However, these two aspects are directly sanctioned by beautiful countries.
It is equivalent to curbing the future of all local mobile phone brands in Longguo!
Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi Mobile Phones, immediately proposed to convene a self-rescue meeting for local mobile phone brands in Longguo!
The meeting was held in Kyoto, and almost all domestic mobile phones in Longguo participated! Including the bosses of Huawei boss Ren Zhengfei, Meizu boss Huang Zhang, LeTV, Bubugao and more than ten brand bosses!
Lei Jun, as the host, looked at the visitor and said!
"Lao Liu from the Red Pepper mobile phone brand didn't come?"
"He has declared bankruptcy!" said one of the mobile phone brand bosses!
Lei Jun sighed helplessly. The Red Pepper mobile phone was once the main competitive brand of Xiaomi and was very popular.
I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t be able to withstand the economic sanctions imposed by the beautiful country!
Lei Jun took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and said to everyone.
"Everyone, the beautiful country is now sanctioning us even on the mobile phone operating system. This is to directly kill us..."
"Boss Lei, from a national level, we are just victims of fighting. The beautiful country is not meant for us..."
"No matter what the purpose of the beautiful country is, the reality is that we will not be able to survive if we don't think of a way."
At this time, Lei Jun suddenly remembered something and said to Huawei's boss Ren Zhengfei!
"Brother Ren, didn't you say at an exchange meeting two years ago that you would start researching mobile operating systems? What's going on now?"
"Research on mobile phone system software is more difficult than mobile phone hardware. Our company has been researching for three years, and the system we developed is still far from the Apple system and Android system on the market..."
Ren Zhengfei said helplessly.
When Huawei mobile phones started to develop in Longguo, Ren Zhengfei began to develop his own mobile phone chips and mobile phone operating systems!
Because these two items are the most important components of mobile phones, and they mainly rely on imports from beautiful countries.
Ren Zhengfei wants to take these two technologies into his own hands because he is afraid that one day, the beautiful Congress will threaten them with these two technologies.
However, what he didn't expect was that such a thing would happen so quickly.
When beautiful countries use chips and systems to sanction them, they have no power to fight back.
In just about twenty days, the local mobile phone brands in Long Country almost went bankrupt!
"Brother Ren, we should have listened to you and followed you to study chips and mobile phone operating systems, so we wouldn't be in the current situation!"
"Yes! If we had listened to Mr. Ren's suggestion at the exchange meeting and spent one-third of our profits on research.
With so many of our companies pooling our financial resources, we can definitely develop a mobile phone operating system and mobile phone chips in two years!"
"It's just that at the beginning we only looked at the immediate interests and had no long-term considerations at all. Now that I think about it, Mr. Ren still has a far-sighted vision. Unfortunately, it's too late to regret!"
"..."
Two years ago, Zhengfei, my predecessor, was at the exchange meeting and earnestly persuaded everyone to work together to develop mobile operating systems and mobile phone chips!
In the end, no one agreed, and everyone laughed at him. He really had money and no place to throw it away.
Engaging in R&D is a bottomless pit and a pure waste of money!
These technologies are expensive and laborious, and can be developed by beautiful countries. All they have to do is enjoy the benefits, buy them and use them.
Anyway, the WTO has regulations that member countries are not allowed to interfere in the international trade economy and achieve economic and trade freedom!
Only then did they understand that the WTO only protects the interests of those Western countries!
"Hey! It's useless to regret now. Let's think about how to save ourselves!"
"If the beautiful country does not provide us with mobile phone software and chips, how can we save ourselves? Even if we want to engage in research and development now, time is running out..."
"I suggest that you should invest more and hold on until the beautiful country lifts its sanctions on the dragon country..."
"Invite investment. Nowadays, the local mobile phone brands in Dragon Kingdom are in a state of limbo. Who dares to invest unless the other party is a fool!"
"..."
Everyone talked for more than two hours, but no solution was found.
Finally, Xiaomi’s Lei Jun and Huawei’s Ren Zhengfei were recommended as representatives to ask the country for help again.
It has been 20 days since Beautiful Country imposed chip sanctions on Long Country, and domestic mobile phones have withdrawn from Long Country’s market!
Now all the mobile phones on the Longguo market are foreign brands. Without competition from domestic mobile phones, their sales are soaring like rockets!
Moreover, because the sales of Apple-brand mobile phones in Meiliguo were so good, they directly announced on the official website that the price of each Apple-brand mobile phone in Longguo would increase by 20%.
This led to dissatisfaction among Longguo users, who denounced Apple mobile phones on the Internet!
Netizen 1: [Why does the price of Apple brand mobile phones increase only in Long Country? Is this bullying and making us Long Country people take advantage of us? Apple’s official website gives us an explanation!]
Netizen 2: [Apple mobile phones are so fucking bullying, all the people in the Dragon Country with integrity are boycotting Apple mobile phones!]
Netizen 3: [Get out of our Dragon Country!]
Netizen 4: [In fact, the price should have been raised long ago, otherwise the poor people would be able to afford Apple mobile phones, and our identity would be highlighted like this!]
Netizen 5: [Netizen 4, are you talking human language? You must have eaten si this morning!]
Netizen 6: [What happened to Huawei, Xiaomi, Meizu... these domestic mobile phones recently? Why have they all been taken off the shelves! What's going on? 】
Netizen 7: [Don’t you know, the beautiful country has imposed economic sanctions on us, causing them to almost go bankrupt!]
Netizen 8: [Holy shit! The beautiful country is really not a thing. They sanction our domestic mobile phones. Their brand of mobile phones takes the opportunity to increase prices! Resist firmly...]
Subsequently, the official website of Apple mobile phones issued an announcement that in 10 days, Apple 10 mobile phones will be released, priced between 12,000 and 15,000.
Grab the qualification code at 8pm today. Only users who have obtained the qualification code can reserve the Apple 10 mobile phone in ten days!
Apple’s mobile phone has just released an announcement, and Kimchi Country’s Samsung mobile phone has also released an announcement:
Chapter completed!
