"Mr. Fang, I heard that you captured Penguin's executive alive?"
"It's not that exaggerated, it's just rumors."
On August 8th, due to changes in the headquarters of Hang Lung 24, the Yike Global Online Conference was postponed for one day.
Fang Zhuo's account was linked to the meeting room early, and before he got up to pour tea, the co-founder Yu Hong's account lit up, and asked about gossip with great interest.
"Mr. Fang, don't be modest. I've heard that Mr. Penguin Xu always defeated General Zhongxiang with his car (jū), but was captured and killed by the soldiers and commanders." Yu Hong laughed.
"Who said that, Weiwei? He happened to be in Shencheng to talk about something, and he wanted to come to Yike to meet me. I was too lazy to see him. Later, Pony took him back when he saw that I really didn't want to see him." Fang Zhuo clarifies the rumors.
"Then what did you talk about when you met Mr. Ma?" Yu Hong asked.
"He didn't want to see me either, we just watched from a distance." Fang Zhuo replied.
"You didn't talk about anything?" Yu Hong couldn't believe it.
"I didn't talk about anything." Fang Zhuo was sure.
"You didn't scold him a word?" Yu Hong still couldn't believe it.
Fang Zhuo: "..."
Yu Hong asked: "If you have to let Mr. Ma go to lead the people, didn't you prepare an inscription to send him in advance?"
Fang Zhuo: "..."
He stopped this kind of chatting, noticed that many accounts in the online conference room had been lit up, and reminded: "The meeting time is almost here."
Yu Hong resentfully said, "Let's talk later."
The ears pricked up in the online conference room all regretted, Mr. Yu is too uninteresting!
Fang Zhuo drank half a cup of tea, read two pages of the newspaper, and waited until the meeting started.
This is the performance summary meeting of Echo Global Market.
It has been exactly two natural months since it was launched in June, and the sales of the flagship Mars and the video Selfy are very impressive. In particular, the overall satisfactory performance of the former made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Samsung, which has been rumored in June this year, did not launch its own flagship chip, and the performance of the three chips of Yike, Apple, and Qualcomm is naturally compared by various tests, and there are also winners and losers in terms of performance.
Under this situation, Samsung Trump2 equipped with a Qualcomm chip is the most hip.
Apple and Yike are in the same gear, Samsung is in the same gear, and then other brands.
Specific to regional performance, the US/Europe/China results of the two models of Yike are 315/289/214 million units in two months, a total of 818 million units. Including channels in other regions, the sales volume has approached 900 million units. .
Compared with the same period last year, sales have doubled, and this data is also better than the 78% increase in global smartphone shipments during the same period.
Great products always eat more bread.
However, there is still a problem now. Mars and Selfy in China have obvious price ranges. Fortunately, due to the extensive contract sales system in the US and European markets, the prices of these two models are relatively close, and there will be overlapping user groups. .
For example, the sales volume of Mars alone could reach 2. Now because of the differentiation of its own brand, Mars+Selfy can achieve 2.3, but Mars only has 1.3.
Currently, Apple has not announced their iPhone sales this year. However, according to channel feedback and some news, the sales volume of iPhone 4 in more than two months is between 500 and 700 million units.
This is an excellent single product sales.
Of course, Yike believes that the advantages of establishing a new product line outweigh the disadvantages. Android phones are becoming more and more homogeneous. The style and technology exploration of Selfy is not only an attempt, but also can be fed back to the flagship Mars.
Fang Zhuo listened to everyone’s reports and analysis, and felt that there was no problem. According to the usual practice, the sales curves of Europe and the United States can still usher in an increase in November and December, and the Double Eleven of China’s own e-buy can also play a promotional role .
"It should be no problem for the global sales of our two models to exceed 4000 million units, or even 4500 million units." Yu Hong Kaimai talked about the sales target before June next year, and said, "One of the problems in the second half of the year is that , whether our tablet products can be launched as scheduled, Samsung seems to want to get ahead of us again."
"According to the exposure pictures, Samsung's products are very similar to Apple's iPad. The two companies have already fought for product problems, and the tablet may add another one."
Yu was referring to the lawsuit Apple filed against Samsung that erupted last month.
Still patents but not all patent disputes.
Apple is an important customer of Samsung, and all important parts including processors and screens are purchased from the latter. This is a cooperative relationship that has continued since the first generation of iPhone.
So, the iPhone is no secret to Samsung.
In the past two years, one of the points that Samsung’s flagship has been complained about is that it is a bit like iPhone and a bit like Mars. It seems that many consumers want to try iOS system when choosing a product, and if they want to try Android, they use Yike. , making Samsung's positioning a little awkward.
After Samsung launched the Trump2 with much fanfare in June this year, it quietly launched an entry-level model that looks exactly like an iPhone, which aroused strong dissatisfaction from Apple.
In the past, it was fine to imitate, but now it is actually a replica?
And is it still re-engraved in the low-end positioning?
The communication between the two parties failed, and Apple took Samsung to court.
"Samsung has always been on the middle, low, and high levels together, competing with multiple brands. It has learned from Apple...it has learned too much." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "It is really good for Apple to sue it. Well, they cooperate and compete at the same time. , You said, can we get some Apple chip orders?"
He made a small assumption that Apple bought from Samsung and sued in court at the same time. It also competed with Apple, but the relationship has eased a lot.
Everyone spoke out one after another, not optimistic about the boss's assumption.
"Mr. Fang, compared to Samsung, we are probably Apple's biggest problem." Pan Ben, who lives in Europe, said, "If Apple can sue, it must first sue us."
Yu Hong provided a more accurate factual basis: "Many of Apple's suppliers have signed exclusive agreements, and Yike's name is included in each example."
——Do not supply products to competing companies such as Yike.
Judging from Yu Hong's contacts with suppliers, Yike was absolutely named.
Fang Zhuo didn't speak immediately, but thought for a while before saying, "This is also a technical problem to a certain extent."
Samsung's wafer foundry technology is now similar to Bingxin's. It may be slightly better, but its foundry scale is not as good as Bingxin's.
According to IDC data, as of June 2010, the top three wafer foundries in the world are Taiji, UMC, and GlobalFoundries. Icecore is almost in the fourth position, while Samsung is hovering in the seventh or eighth place.
This is because Samsung is mainly developing towards high-end in the foundry field, rather than accepting all jobs.
Especially since the beginning of this year, the explosion of low-end consumer electronics has promoted the development of the foundry industry, but Samsung has not benefited much from it.
Generally speaking, when the revenue is high, the R&D budget will also increase. However, Samsung and Bingxin are the kind of existence that can get extra money, which has smoothed the gap with the top companies to a certain extent.
"Mr. Yu, find sources to spread the news that Apple is in contact with Tai Ji about chip orders." Fang Zhuo's wandering thoughts did not delay him from making new suggestions.
Yu Hong was a little surprised: "The two of them have already had contact?"
"I don't know. They hit two shots with dates or no dates. They are not lawsuits. We help to exacerbate the tense relationship." Fang Zhuo said as a matter of course, "It is acceptable whether there is an effect or not."
Yu Hongliang Mai: "All right."
She thought that Boss Fang, who had always been well-informed, had heard something again.
"As for the tablet, if it is postponed, it will be postponed. You don't need to think too much about the pressure brought by Samsung's rush to the front. In the final analysis, we still make products." The performance of the domestic patent results in half a year is not bad, and Mr. Xu still needs to evaluate and evaluate."
Xu Kedeng has transformed into a technology-based management. Compared with more or less participating in product work before, his current work focus is on reasonably building the technical system of Yike Company.
Because it involves the global market, because it involves software and hardware, this is also a big challenge.
Since the financial crisis, Yike has recruited, dug, or formed a variety of buying talents, which has made the company's system bloated and chaotic to a certain extent, but it has indeed enhanced its research and development capabilities and brought many new things.
The domestic teams who communicated from the Shencheng R&D Center to the Silicon Valley Center were all impressed there, with bionic arms, spider robots, and industrial materials, and they had a lot of fun in multiple directions.
Of course, there are also serious ones. Selfy’s camera algorithm is an important factor for the success of this product line, and the face recognition of the front camera is also being developed in an orderly manner.
"We need to carry out systematic research and development. This system can be looser, but there must still be a system." Xu Keden opened the microphone and said euphemistically, "For example, consumer electronics, cloud computing, IC design, new energy, artificial intelligence .”
This is the direction that Fang Zhuo mentioned at the annual meeting.
Xu Keden continued to quote: "Mr. Fang, you said that a good business can see its future. I think we should be able to see its future with a good R&D. At least there is hope. See."
He really didn't think the spider robot could bring any chemical reaction to Yi Ke.
The spider robot equipped with bionic arms is even more... need to care about the mental health of the two R&D teams.
"You can discuss this matter with President Yu." Fang Zhuo didn't think it was necessary to be so tight, as the budget for some small projects was really not much.
It's not convenient for him to go to Silicon Valley now, and he can't see the mental state of the big guy with his own eyes, so he still leaves the discussion and decision-making to someone who can personally perceive it.
Xu Kedeng agreed, and decided to send the spider robot to Shencheng after the meeting, and have it placed on Mr. Fang's desk.
"Cloud computing is very good. Dr. Wang and the others are able to catch up, which is very gratifying." Yu Hong expressed her opinion, "The more the future can be platformized, the more it can provide technical support for everyone, and the more it can build A healthy ecosystem."
The domestic YMS is already in full swing. How to better look forward to the future is something Yu Hong needs to think about.
Fang Zhuo smiled and said: "I like the three words of platform, the four words of technical support are also good, and the five words of healthy ecology are also very penetrating."
In half a day, the performance and outlook of the global market, the status quo and future of the technology system, and Fang Zhuo actually further delegated power.
When the online meeting was over, Yu Hong pulled Fang Zhuo into another online room.
"Recently, many people have asked me about you. Larry from Google, Stringer from Sony, and some golfers who play golf in a mess claim to be your golf friends. First, they care about Yike's results, and second, they care about you Itinerary." Yu Hong said, "I hope to see you in New York."
"Well, some people bought Yike's stock, and the growth in the past two months has not failed them." Although Fang Zhuo was away, the friendship between friends was still maintained.
The shadow of the financial crisis has completely passed, and the stock prices of technology companies such as Yike, Apple, and Google are all rising, including Chinese concept stocks.
This is a good opportunity for MIGA Fund to develop clients.
Yike Mobile Financial Company still bears a good reputation, and the MIGA fund's two manipulations and insider suspicions have also made everyone favor it. If there are means, means, and connections, this is the time for everyone to make a fortune.
However, it would be even better if he could meet the mysterious person himself.
"I have considered this matter. I plan to go to Europe before the end of the year. If there are no unexpected circumstances, I may come back in the arena." Fang Zhuo said seriously.
"It sounds like you are going to play." Yu Hong complained.
"It's never wrong to love sports." Fang Zhuo sighed, "See if I can meet some big shots. I feel more at ease with them."
It is still necessary to drink two more glasses while Xiao Ao is around, and the layout of the ice core before it goes on the market also needs to be communicated.
Fang Zhuo has always been a person who respects shareholders.
"Safety must come first." Yu Hong said with concern, "No risk."
"Don't worry, I won't take any risks. I also have many friends." Fang Zhuo said.
Yu Hong suggested: "It's really not possible. Let Mr. Kong come back from Europe. If he is fine in New York, it may prove that the risk is already very low."
Fang Zhuo frowned, Xiao Yu, what's going on?Even if you go to New York, you still have to show off!
Kong is always a person who has taken risks twice. In terms of emotion and reason, he...
Having said that, Mr. Kong is indeed a man of great luck, he has taken risks twice, and he has experience. Well, it depends on personal preference.
……
Hong Kong.
Jacky Cheung, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, was watching TV at home when the mobile phone on the table suddenly received a call from his manager Chen Shufen.
He picked up his mobile phone casually, and after answering it was a job invitation from the mainland, which involved the Spring Festival Gala.
Jacky Cheung was a little surprised to hear that the host of the party was not a TV station, but the well-known Yike Company.
However, this was nothing special to him, and he still refused without hesitation.
"Mrs. Chen, just say it's because of the family." Jacky Cheung said.
He has received invitations to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala many times, but declined every time. He is also the only one of the Four Heavenly Kings who has not appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
"This time the opponent has used a lot of force, you can actually think about it." Chen Shufen was entrusted by more than one person, and she was a little embarrassed.
It's fine if it's someone else, she knows that Jacky Cheung is the kind of person with great character.
"I know Yike's." Jacky Cheung smiled, "Can I still not let me buy its mobile phone? It's okay, family matters can be understood."
Chen Shufen had no choice but to end the call.
After a while, Jacky Cheung's phone call was called again, this time it was Jay Chou who had a good relationship.
"Brother Xueyou, are you interested in collaborating once?" Jay Chou came up very directly.
Jacky Cheung was a little surprised: "You want to write a song for me?"
"You can also write a song. I'll write a new song. Let's sing it together at the Spring Festival Gala. How about it?" Jay Chou laughed.
Jacky Cheung was startled, and understood that Jay Chou was also for Yike's party.
He asked a little strangely: "Can you write a new song and invite me?"
"That's the big boss of my team, what's the matter, I'll go find you now." Jay Chou urged, "Just think of it as helping me, Brother Xueyou."
Jacky Cheung hesitated: "I want to check the schedule, I'll check the schedule."
He ended the call with this excuse.
Then, there was no response to the two-day schedule check.
In the past two days, Zhang Xueyou also heard some rumors, saying that Yike Company is inviting singers from Xiangjiang, which naturally includes the other three of the Four Heavenly Kings. It is said that two of them have already agreed.
This made him more reluctant to agree to Yi Ke's invitation.
On September 9, Jacky Cheung, a seasoned tennis fan, went to the Xiangjiang Jockey Club tennis court to play with the coach.
After halftime, drink water and rest.
Jacky Cheung has played tennis for more than ten years, almost twice a week, and every time he comes to play with his coach Yan Zhizhang.
Holding the racket, he chatted a few words about Sampras' retirement life.
"Jacky, I want to ask you to help me with something." Yan Zhizhang called out Jacky Cheung's English name, slightly twitching.
"What's the matter?" Jacky Cheung and the coach are old friends and rarely hear anything about each other.
"Someone asked me to invite you to participate in the party in the mainland." Yan Zhizhang said.
Jacky Cheung was stunned, he didn't expect the invitation to come to this place, it was from his tennis coach.
He frowned deeply.
"If you don't agree, maybe Sampras will come to you to play in the Spring Festival Gala." Yan Zhizhang said, "He has a big business and great energy. Can he be the richest man in the mainland? Can he be the richest man in the world? It's even more of a monster."
"Let Sampras play a game with me, and I'll go." Jacky Cheung loosened his brows and said with a smile.
Yan Zhizhang shrugged, the invitation was conveyed, and there was nothing Jacky could do if he didn't want to.
On the second night, Pete Sampras, the world champion of a generation, the eternal king of Wimbledon, and one of the best grass court players ever, appeared in front of Jacky Cheung and invited him to play with himself.
Jacky Cheung: "..."
Kindness is hard to turn down, monsters are hard to turn down, so don't let it go any further.
