Rebirth 2010: I'll be a big shot

Chapter 127 Sir, I have a husband

Author: This month once Teru Furukawa

Chapter 127 Sir, I have a husband...

In 2014, we entered the 4G era.

The price of 3G traffic has begun to drop, and many university towns are quietly launching a 299 free mobile phone campaign for opening a card. You can choose low-end smartphones from Sanxing, Kupai, and Zhongxin at will.

As everyone knows, this is just a clearance strategy by manufacturers. Internally, they are intensively developing new 4G phones in an attempt to seize the market.

"Axi, is this what you call strategy?"

Park Changcan slapped the "Great China Business Monthly Report" on his desk and snorted in dissatisfaction.

Although Sanxing's sales in China last month stopped the decline and increased by 4 points, he was still keenly aware.

47% of shipments rely on the low-end market, overall sales have declined, and profits have decreased accordingly. Cui Youzhen, as the sales section chief, is naturally to blame.

"Minister, but the market share has returned to 25%, so there is no problem with the marketing plan..."

Cui Youzhen was annoyed, but he didn't dare to contradict him, so he could only explain patiently.

"Chief Cui, are you questioning me? Now I declare that you are not qualified for the trading line work in Greater China. Tomorrow I will apply to the headquarters to transfer you."

Park Changcan interrupted her directly and wrote lightly, with a meaningful look on his face.

His words fell on Cui Youzhen's ears like a bolt from the blue. If he was really kicked back to his hometown, his future career would be bleak.

"Mr. Minister, please give me another chance. I can't lose this job..."

Cui Youzhen stumbled and said, her body was trembling and she panicked.

"Then it depends on your performance. Sometimes your mouth is not just for talking."

Park Changcan stared at her plump curves, subconsciously licked his lips, and said ambiguously with a smile.

Cui Youzhen had heard rumors about the minister for a long time. Every time he reported on work, he would flee in a hurry, but he didn't expect that he would still catch him.

"Mr. Minister, I...I have a husband."

Cui Youzhen grabbed the hem of his shirt and bit his lip.

When Pu Changcan heard this, a ball of heat rushed towards his Dantian. He became even more excited and said in a cold voice with a dry voice: "Come here and kneel down."

"minister……"

Cui Youzhen shook his head helplessly, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Do you want me to write the email now?"

Park Changcan said secretly, the flesh on his cheeks was rosy and his eyes were impatient.

Cui Youzhen thought for a moment, then slowly walked to the desk and squatted down in humiliation.

"Mr. Minister..."

"Call me Oppa!"

Pu Changcan smiled slightly and corrected the omission in her title with satisfaction.

Looking at this greasy, ugly face in front of her, she resisted the discomfort and shouted delicately: "Oppa~!"

Minister Park leaned back on his chair, immersed in enjoyment. The sound of "Oppa" reminded him of the senior sister he couldn't get when he was a boy.

"Being a minister is so satisfying. In the future, if you move up a level and become a director, why don't you take off?"

He thought happily.

Cui Youzhen's sales problems are not worth mentioning at all. As long as he maintains his market share, the headquarters can easily resolve them with just one sentence.

…

"Mr. Lei, the sales volume of the Mi 2S Moss co-branded model in December was 1.8 million units, with a total of 3.3 million units sold. Its market share surpassed Apple for the first time, ranking fifth.

At the same time, we have to pay a licensing fee of 330 million yuan to Future Technology."

Cheng Xi is reporting sales data for the past two months.

In a short period of time, Rice has surpassed the three mountains of "HOC", "Zhongxin" and "Apple" and entered the top five in the industry for the first time. She was a little excited.

But when I think of the sky-high licensing fee of 330 million, I can't help but worry.

"Moss Intelligence is more powerful than I imagined."

Rebus sighed. If this trend continues, the Rice Group will have to pay Future Technology at least 3 billion in 2014!

"Tell Mr. Lu to launch the rice artificial intelligence research laboratory plan. I will not be willing to be controlled by others forever."

After a moment of silence, he gave instructions to his assistant.

This is a difficult decision. He does not want to leave the fate of rice to future technology. There may be no problem in the cooperation stage, but if he turns against him once, rice will be completely defeated.

"Okay, Mr. Lei."

Cheng Xi nodded and recorded the information.

It is of course a good thing for Rice to build its own artificial intelligence system. Although it will offend Chen Heyu, it has to be done.

…

HOC Greater China Headquarters.

"Why did our market ranking drop in the fourth quarter? Who can tell us?"

The big boss of the business line asked his subordinates in a deep voice in the conference room.

"Mr. Cai, it's because of the rice."

The marketing director replied immediately.

"Oh? Let's talk about it."

Cai Zhen turned his seat to a comfortable position and motioned for him to continue.

"Everyone looks at the big screen. The line chart shows the sales data of the Mi 2S Moss co-branded model in November and December. The cumulative shipment volume is 3.3 million units. Adding other models, the total sales volume of Mi in Q4 is 6.7 million units."

"Compared with Q3, the data of rice phones has almost doubled. All this is due to the fact that it is equipped with the Moss voice intelligent system."

"In particular, last month Future Technology cut the production of Moss speakers, and the sales of rice 2S hit a new high."

The marketing director said calmly.

Finally, he asked Cai Zhen for instructions: "Mr. Cai, Moss is at least ten years more advanced than Apple's Siri. We have two options: first, obtain authorization to use future technology; second, start developing our own artificial intelligence

system."

After Cai Zhen listened, he looked at the reactions of others and clearly agreed with the marketing director's proposal.

"Let's talk to Future Technology. Rice can get the authorization. There's no reason why we can't."

He made the decision.

As for developing artificial intelligence systems?

He never thought that Apple would make up for its shortcomings through mergers and acquisitions.

If HOC chooses to get involved in the AI ​​field, by the time the product is produced, the market will probably be completely lost.

There are many mobile phone manufacturers with similar ideas, and they have sent business negotiation teams one after another to prepare to go to Yancheng to obtain authorization.

Chen Heyu, who was far away on the set of Jinling, received two messages from Zhang Nan.

First, Dami has established an artificial intelligence laboratory and is frantically exploring talents in related professions;

Second, people from Lianxiang, Kupai, Huayao, Zhongxin and HOC have arrived at Future Technology and want to obtain Moss System authorization.

"You come to host it, and I won't go back."

Chen Heyu did not hesitate and handed over the major negotiation matters to Zhang Nan.

He continued to stay on the set filming, and if Zhang Nan was not allowed to come forward for this kind of thing, wouldn't it be worthless for him to offer such a high annual salary?

Rebus is indeed a trend-setter of the times. Even Huayao chooses to seek cooperation. He is the only one with a tough head who wants to make his own artificial intelligence.

Chen Heyu laughed it off. If it were so easy, he wouldn't have to waste hundreds of energy on upgrading the input system with more than a dozen core technologies such as machine learning, deep neural networks, algorithms, machine translation, and natural speech processing.

In the last life, these domestic companies had no success at all. In this life, the situation will be even more difficult.

The top talents are either in official research institutes or in Jingwei Park and Changqin Building of future science and technology.

The treatment he provided was in line with international standards, and it was difficult for Rebus to recruit people.

The soul of the project is Chen Heyu, and Wu Chen would not be able to develop a new system.

"We will cooperate as usual. The contract period is only one year anyway. This time you receive the manufacturer, which can also be a reminder to Rebus and let him understand who is the big brother."

Chen Heyu warned domineeringly.

"Mr. Chen, I understand. Wait for good news from me."

Zhang Nan replied confidently.

…

Major brands were looking for information about future technology. When Rebus learned about it, he felt a little panicked.

At the beginning, he had the small idea of ​​​​independent research and development and refused to pay exclusive licensing fees. Unexpectedly, only a few months later, he became a model of shooting stones in the foot.

There was nothing he could do to stop it. If after one year, Rice could no longer develop its own artificial intelligence software, it would be open to question whether Future Technology would be willing to renew the contract.

"Continue to expand production capacity, and we will eat a bigger piece of the cake before other companies' Moss-branded mobile phones are launched."

Lei Jun announced at the management meeting that the current plan can only make time difference.

The results of the negotiations quickly made headlines. Kupai and HOC successfully obtained the authorization to install the Moss system and launched a co-branded mobile phone two months later, which made fans cheer.

The production capacity of rice and future technology cannot digest the huge market at all. The addition of Kupai and HOC means that fans can get new mobile phones faster, an epoch-making product full of future technology.

Huayao and Zhongxin were unwilling to accept the high licensing fees, so they could only sigh and go home.

Chen Heyu knew the news and was very satisfied. The combined market share of Kupai and HOC was close to 15%. Based on the 380 million smartphone shipments in 2014, this negotiation could bring 5.7 billion to the company.

expected return.

"Future technology, the new overlord in the technology circle!"

“The driving force behind the mobile phone industry, artificial intelligence’s terrifying ability to attract money!”

"What are the limits of Moss intelligence?"

"The teaching assistant industry resists future technology, claiming that artificial intelligence will destroy an industry and cause millions of people to lose their jobs."

Chen Heyu scrolled through the hot spots, and when he saw the last message, he frowned. Unexpectedly, even though he was acting extremely cautiously, some people still stood up to boycott the company's development.

Moss's role as a "study counselor" is enough to replace most tutoring institutions for grades 1 to 9. This influence is terrifying.

"Mr. Wu, lower the character's attributes and functions by 30%."

He called Wu Chen and gave instructions.

"Boss, Moss should not be suppressed. Your decision will disappoint advocates of future technology."

Wu Chen is a technician and cannot bear to see a perfect product being castrated.

"To survive or to develop, we can only choose one of the two. You are a smart person. If you don't understand, you can ask Mr. Zhang to clarify your doubts."

Chen Heyu said helplessly.

The advent of advanced technology will always be frantically crowded out, just like textile machines, electric lights, and trams, which will attract strong opposition from kerosene companies and gasoline car companies.

After the character performance of Moss's voice was weakened, users soon discovered it, causing brief complaints.

Upon seeing this, the teaching aid industry gradually became less vocal in its protests.

Chen Heyu sighed secretly, looking forward to the launch of the international version and going overseas to fight in order to make a fortune.

…

A few days later.

"Boss, Mr. Jia from Lelishi Group wants to see you."

Zhang Nan called and asked.

"No, I'll just talk about cooperation and you'll be responsible."

Chen Heyu replied.

He didn't have a good impression of this "PPT car building" boss. He only remembered the funny joke about "returning to China next week" and didn't want to have anything to do with him.

"Jabs is willing to pay a visit in person or go to Jinling."

Zhang Nan added.

A big boss has such a low profile?

Chen Heyu thought for a while and had no choice but to agree, otherwise it would be easy to offend people if it spread out, so he took advantage of the situation to see what kind of cooperation this big liar was planning to discuss.

The crew's part was not over yet, so he was too lazy to make another trip to Yancheng.

I made an appointment with Steve Jobs to meet in Jinling.

Yihe Mansion.

It was originally an old house from the Republic of China. After renovation, it has a brand new appearance, full of charm, and magnificent interior decoration.

According to legend, it was the villa of a high-ranking official at that time. The backyard has rockeries, streams, and pavilions, showing the beautiful garden scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.

Jia Ting introduced as he walked that he was not from Jinling and had obviously put a lot of effort into treating Chen Heyu to this meal.

"Mr. Jia, you're welcome. You are the senior in the business world and I am the junior. It is my duty to visit you."

Chen Heyu said calmly, with polite words and honorifics, but with an aloof aura, walking half a body ahead of Jabs.

"There is no priority in learning. Those who have mastered are the teachers. Mr. Chen's status in the business world is beyond my reach. This time I made an appointment with Mr. Chen because I want to cooperate with him for a win-win situation."

Jabs said politely.

Lelixi has a market value of tens of billions, and Lao Jia is also a man who is accustomed to bossing around, but he is able to bow down to Chen Heyu, which makes him admire him with admiration.

There are only a few simple people who can build a business. Under the boast of Jobs, he couldn't help but feel elated.

No wonder so many big bosses are willing to invest money in him. General flattery has no effect on big bosses, but what if this flatterer is also a big boss with a net worth of tens of billions?

Just imagine, the e-commerce horse flatters you, this feeling is so cool!

"Is Mr. Jia's purpose to obtain authorization from Moss Voice System and install it on the TV?"

Chen Heyu smiled, skipped the insincere greetings, and asked directly.

"Mr. Chen, this is just one of the purposes. I want to get Moss's exclusive authorization in Greater China."

Jia Ting put away his smile and said seriously.

Haha, it’s like a toad yawning, it’s such a loud tone!

Chen Heyu said disdainfully, sneered and shook his head slightly.

Thinking of how big Le Li was, he couldn't eat the entire market. He looked up at the other party and understood Lao Jia's plan in a flash.

"Mr. Chen, I can also talk. I can also join Future Technology."

Jabs threw out the bait.

Based on future technology's annual net profit of tens of billions, the valuation given by venture capital institutions is over 300 billion.

In front of Chen Heyu, he is indeed a younger brother among younger brothers.

But Future Technology is a software company with only one speaker factory. Lelisi’s advantage is that it has a complete smart TV industry chain and is about to enter the mobile phone field.

Although they are all OEMs, if Chen Heyu wants to enter the equipment industry, Lelixi is the best choice.

The surprise on Chen Heyu's face flashed across his face. There were certain problems with Lelisi's quality control and after-sales service, but it was also a good springboard.

Of course he wants to enter the real economy. Every industry and the upstream and downstream supply chains are connected together, which can create millions of jobs.

television!

cell phone!

Small appliances!

Only after securing sufficient positions can he dare to launch the more advanced Moss 2.0.

"Mr. Jia, let's talk first about how to join Future Technology."

Chen Heyu said with a smile.

"Is equity swap feasible?"

Jobs was careful to test.

"You want to eat farts?"

Chen Heyu cursed in his heart and refused directly: "Sorry, Mr. Jia doesn't have enough chips."

"In this way, Mr. Jia will split off the TV business of Lelisi, and I want 40% of the shares in exchange for Lelisi's exclusive authorization in the field of televisions.

If Mr. Jia wants to make a mobile phone, he can give you the same licensing price as Rice."

Chen Heyu opened his mouth and said.

The sales volume of Lelishi Super TV last year was 300,000 units, and in 2014 it was 1.4 million units. If he opens his mouth, he will take away nearly half of the shares.

Chen Heyu didn’t even mention money, so naturally he wanted to have sex for free!

Jabs laughed angrily, he could say it in an understatement, he was thicker-skinned and had a bigger appetite than him.

"Sorry, I have no plans to split the business at the moment."

He replied neither salty nor coolly.

"It doesn't matter. I think Daimi, TCK, and Chang Hong would be interested, or they could acquire a company first and do it slowly.

Mr. Jia, who is indeed a veteran in the business world, casually reminded me and asked me to find a new track."

Chen Heyu shrugged his shoulders and said in a strange tone.

Jabs was speechless and choked up. You are so shameless. You just make threats if you don't cooperate, right?

He froze on the spot, his eyes rolled, he made a decision quickly, and said with a smile: "I am honored to be favored by Mr. Chen, but 40% of the equity is too high. Although I am the major shareholder, I still have to convince other investment talents.

OK."

"At most 20%."

Jabs gritted his teeth and shouted out a number.

Chen Heyu smiled and said nothing, just let the other party agree. As for the number, it doesn't matter. The company has a professional business negotiation team, just let them come forward.

There is still one year and ten months left in the countdown to Lao Jia's escape. For an arrogant and crazy person like him, the outcome has long been doomed.

In the future, directly swallowing up the TV business of Lelistar will also be regarded as officially entering the manufacturing industry.

"Old Jia, a good man is here."

Many years later, facing the media, Chen Heyu said with a smile.

When Jobs, who was far away in a foreign country, saw the interview, he shed tears of regret. I felt so miserable because the enemy was so treacherous.

A group of people walked into the restaurant. Jia Ting was in charge of ordering food and arranging the dinner. There was also a foreign pianist in the center of the stage, playing soft music.

Jinling Sancao, four famous dishes!

Babao braised duck, Xiangxing squirrel fish, Mingyue vegetarian sea cucumber, palace lantern anchovy shrimp...!

With a table full of delicious food, Chen Heyu only had a small taste.

This meal only cost tens of thousands of yuan, but Jabs' face was full of pain and he secretly looked at Chen Heyu.

A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years. Boy, just wait for me.

With a smile on his face, he raised his glass and accompanied Chen Heyu humbly.

The next day, the cooperation between "Lelixi" and "Future Technology" was exposed and made the front page headlines.

The entire TV industry is starting to shake!

Moss is going to attack them?

Lessons from the past tell them that Moss’s intelligent voice has a terrifying impact on sales.

Chuangwei: "Go to Yancheng quickly, we also want to carry Moss!"

Hi Xin: "We have no choice. We will set up a negotiation team immediately and we must get the authorization!"

Chang Hong: "This is our opportunity to rise. If we seize it, we can save twenty years of struggle."

…

When more than a dozen brands gathered in Yancheng and learned that Lelixi had signed an exclusive license, they were all stunned.

The world of the TV industry is about to change!

Gentlemen, hello on May Day~
