Chapter 289 Pingguo Is Anxious

As a purely domestic operating system, Gonggong System has achieved such an achievement, and it has also let the world see what Chinese speed is.

And based on the current actual user experience reviews, users are basically 99% very satisfied with Gonggong System.

The interface is simple, the software responds quickly, most ads are free, and the power control is good. In the past, the power supply supported a normal one-day use of the phone, but now it can be used for two days.

Who can not be tempted by such an operating system?

Of course, except for those who want to change their phones because of the phone freeze.

From the release of Gonggong System to now, compared with Android and other systems, it has not been long. However, with the powerful Internet of Everything and active adaptation technology, many manufacturers have cooperated with Jiuzhou Technology to expand their business scope while increasing the technical strength of their own products.

This is actually a virtuous circle, piling up materials, competing in services and ecology, using high-quality products to win consumers' money, rather than relying on publicity and advertising, maliciously smearing other companies to make money.

The former makes the industry flourish, and the latter makes the industry full of smoke and stench.

Relevant information shows that there are currently 136 manufacturers on the list of partners of the Gonggong system, especially when the number of installed and activated users has soared recently, this list of partners has also been growing wildly.

And in order to help domestic mobile phone manufacturers go overseas, the Gonggong system has updated version 2.0, supporting more languages ​​and even software content synchronization translation function.

Another round of - big sticks are coming down.

We want users who are mainly English-speaking.

We also want users in non-English-speaking countries!

With the cost-effective materials of domestic manufacturers and the strong attack of the Gonggong system, the sales of major mobile phone manufacturers such as Hanxing and Pingguo are almost visible to the naked eye - falling.

In the face of this situation, Pingguo and Hanxing not only took out the old routine of instalment price reduction, but also began to spend a lot of money on publicity and promotion.

According to the latest report, Pingguo and Hanxing have gloriously become one of the top 15 companies in the world that spend the most on search advertising among listed companies.

In July alone, Pingguo invested more than 300 million US dollars in global search advertising, which are advertisements that appear in the results when users use search engines to find certain content.

There are also business orders from other media, placement in movies, TV and animation, and linkage with popular products. The total investment has almost reached 700 million US dollars.

But these alone are not enough, because the sequelae of Pingguo's advertising are too great.

No stock!

It is a good thing that consumers have the desire to buy after the advertisement is released, but once consumers enter the Pingguo store, they are either told that there is no stock or they have to pay a higher price to get the goods from scalpers.

Pingguo paid such a large amount of advertising fees, but the ultimate beneficiary turned out to be scalpers.

Although the short-term mobile phone sales have increased, these mobile phones are not activated in the hands of scalpers. Pingguo cannot make money from users using Pingguo mobile phone services, which is a loss.

And according to the current news from Pingguo suppliers and component manufacturers, the order must be increased in price, otherwise it will not be done.

This annoyed Cook, Pingguo's directors and the capital behind it.

"How dare these yellow-skinned people raise our prices?"

"We must punish them! Cancel their future supply qualifications!"

"Kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and then support Vietnamese manufacturers!"

But after the meeting, Pingguo's slightly harsh words were exchanged for the disdain of suppliers.

"Ah? Now Daxia's labor costs have also increased, and we have to raise prices."

"Cancel our supply qualifications? Sure, after all, there are not many left. We will modify this production line to make other products. If your company needs this component in the future, please find other companies."

As for Vietnam...

Pingguo's specialists and executives have investigated Vietnam and other countries again and again, and finally returned disappointed.

The report that Cook saw reads: "Vietnam and other Pan-Asian countries have imperfect industrial systems and uneven personnel quality. They cannot replace Daxia suppliers. If we want to support local companies, we need to build new factories, new production lines, and train employees, which will cost the company a lot of money and about two years of time."

Time is money. Pingguo simply cannot wait for two years for production capacity to rise before launching new machines to compete for the market.

Pingguo was anxious.

As anxious as an ant on a hot pot, it began to seek various solutions.

Cook contacted Google executives, but due to the "sensible" Daxia mobile phone manufacturers, Google was not willing to take the initiative to give up its interests to help Pingguo.

Of course, they still understood the principle of "lips and teeth are cold".

So Google dragged the bottom line to Pingguo: you attack, we play auxiliary.

The implication is that you are the most anxious, so you should do your best first.

In these links of congressmen, Pingguo played the main role in throwing money and cooperating with the current leader to cut off the roots of high-end mobile phone chips in Daxia's mobile phone industry.

Not only cut off the path of lithography machines, but also persuade Qualcomm's shareholders not to supply high-performance chips to Daxia mobile phone manufacturers.

The former is easy to do, and it is being done now, with good results.

The latter?

That is impossible to do.

If Qualcomm does not sell chips to Daxia mobile phone manufacturers, who else can it sell them to? Pingguo has its own Pingguo chips, and Hanxing has its own Hanxing chips. If Qualcomm does not make money from Daxia, will it make money from Africa?

Moreover, Qualcomm also holds partial shares in companies such as Rice, so they already have a community of interests. How can the shares be divided?

Will Pingguo pay to buy back those shares?

Impossible. Now the first- and second-tier mobile phone manufacturers in Daxia are the good ones that can make stable profits every year. The higher the sales of mobile phones, the more Qualcomm earns and the greater the market share.

This is almost a dead end.

Cook has been so anxious recently that he is a little trance.

What should be done?

Damn Daxia mobile phone manufacturers, can't they ship less?

I don't know how many people are waiting for Pingguo's counterattack.

But, how to fight back?

The market share of Pingguo system is getting lower and lower, the supply chain system is in danger, and the originally stable shipments have been swept away by Daxia scalpers.

The trillion market value is like a blank number at this moment.

Unless...

Cook thought a lot, Pingguo executives also discussed many times, and relevant experts also brainstormed.

Finally, after many compromises, Pingguo executives decided to squeeze the toothpaste to solve the problem.

Suppliers?

Since they want money, give them money! At most, Pingguo's profit margin will be a little lower this year.

Technical aspects?

Isn't Qualcomm's 5G baseband waiting to be sold? Then buy it!

Plus the A14 Bionic chip, 800 nits OLED screen, 1TB large storage space...

Isn't it just piling up materials?

For market share and future voice, Pingguo will no longer be "Pingguo" this time.

PS: The return of manufacturing industry is a cliché, but there is really no way. Those low-end industries in Vietnam can't make good products... So education is a long-term plan. Education has long-term characteristics. It is not possible to improve the quality of the population overnight.
