Chapter 867 An Untimely Blow

"Mr. Fang is really good at doing things, so he is so efficient!"

"Mr. Fang is the real Mr. Fang, he is worthy of being Mr. Fang!"

"Secretary Liu, when will the Yike mobile phone be available in China?"

On the return flight from Silicon Valley, Wang Jian was no longer alone, but accompanied by three Yike employees. Among them, Mr. Fang's secretary Liu Zonghong was sent off as a representative and returned to China to coordinate the reorganization of the cloud computing department.

Wang Jian was in a different mood, and he praised Mr. Fang highly when he chatted with Liu Zonghong.

In addition to the issue of becoming one of his own, he was also really attracted by Mr. Fang's demeanor.

Cloud computing requires money, and Mr. Fang is willing to do it without hesitation.

"Professor Wang, we have discussed this matter internally in our company. It seems that the earliest time will be after June, July, August or September." Liu Zonghong answered the question and smiled, "Mr. Fang has experience and patience in investment in cutting-edge fields."

As Mr. Fang's longest-serving secretary, Liu Zonghong's work scope has long been not limited to Yike. He also handles anything the boss needs, including Bingxin. He is not shocked by this job.

Wang Jian feels fresh.

I only heard about Mr. Fang and semiconductors before, but now it really falls on my head... Although the project needs to be developed, it feels really good.

However, this matter was finalized at lightning speed, and Alibaba had to decline it quickly, and it could not be delayed until after the Chinese New Year.

On the way back to China, Wang Jian thought of another big boss who was interested in cloud computing.

Although... that's what...

But this is Mr. Fang!

Wang Jian is not a person who procrastinates. Since the decision has been made, he quickly sent a tactful email to Mr. Ma after arriving in Beijing.

The article is long, but the main idea is simple. The gist is: I return your pearl with tears in my eyes. I regret that we had not met before I got married.

Ma Dian was very surprised to receive Professor Wang's email.

He went to Beijing three times to talk to the professor about the prospects and implementation of cloud computing in person, and gave him a budget with certainty. During the last communication, he could feel that the other party was obviously interested. How could he regret not meeting before he got married?

You got married too quickly!

Ma Dian called Wang Jian and insisted on going to Beijing to meet and talk again.

Wang Jian was from Lin'an after all, and he had a different attitude towards the Alibaba boss who had a great influence in Lin'an. He explained the matter thoroughly, saying that it was not you who was not good, but that Mr. Fang took me to visit Amazon.

After knowing the reason, Ma Dian did not bother him anymore.

However, when he talked about the competition with Yigoo at the Taobao meeting, he sighed and said that it was inevitable for domestic e-commerce to compete early or late. Taobao, which had defeated Penguin Paipai.com, needed to further seriously consider the B2C business.

The level of this meeting was very high, but his opinion was not fully recognized.

As the CEO of Taobao and the "God of Wealth" among Alibaba's "Eighteen Arhats", Sun Tongyu talked about the current development of Taobao and believed that the domestic C2C market still had a very broad growth space and could continue to do sinking business.

Sun Tongyu was quite serious and wanted to explore the direction of the model. B2C was not impossible to compete, but it could not be the key strategy so early.

However, after listening to the views of the Taobao CEO, Ma Dian did not continue the conversation. Sun Tongyu ranked in the top five, and his wife Peng Lei was also the "Lin Daiyu" among the "Eighteen Arhats". He did not want to have too intense voices at such a high-level meeting.

It is necessary to communicate this matter privately. Sometimes, just talking about ideas and strategies will not make the east wind overwhelm the west wind.

"We need to do cloud computing. It has a future. If we don't have Wang Jian, we still have Liu Jian and Li Jian."

"As for domestic competition, let's take a look. Yiguo also held a cosmetics event before the New Year. Their pace is very steady, much stronger than Paipai.com. No matter what, they are the top competitors in the field of e-commerce."

Ma Dian ended the most important meeting of Taobao before the New Year with this statement.

He had already made up his mind. If the Taobao CEO can communicate well, then he will fight. If the communication is not good, then he will change the CEO.

……

Fang Zhuo was inspired to invest more in and pay more attention to cloud computing.

Because of this, he also called Schmidt specifically to confirm that Google is indeed going to launch a platform for the development and hosting of WEB applications in April.

Schmidt did not hide his views on cloud computing. The actions of giants such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are just more eye-catching. In fact, there are more subtle but symbolic movements in the industry. AMD, Intel, IBM and even many start-ups are happy to work in this field.

After communicating with Mr. Shi, Fang Zhuo thoughtfully added the word "cloud computing" to his acquisition list after this year in his little notebook.

He has already anticipated how busy he will be in a while.

However, fortunately, the future will be busy, and it is also busy now.

Samsung Electronics' executive team is still lingering in Silicon Valley.

Compared with Wang Jian's smooth job change, the negotiations between Yike, Google and Samsung were really bumpy.

Objectively speaking, even if Samsung does not join the PRO Alliance, the cooperation between the three companies has a foreseeable prospect of mutual benefit. Further narrowing the scope, the mutual authorization between Yike and Samsung is also beneficial.

But Samsung just wants more.

Lee Jae-yong wants more support, longer authorization, and he also asked to invest in Android.

Just like the former Symbian company, Nokia is the major shareholder, and Samsung, Sony Ericsson and other companies are small shareholders.

However, this condition was flatly rejected by Schmidt.

It's not that you didn't give Samsung a chance when you acquired Android, but you didn't cherish it. Now that you see the good of the Android system, how can you join in so easily?

The most important thing is that Mr. Fang is unwilling to let go of his shares, and Google is even less likely to dilute its shares.

Samsung is waiting for more news from the industry, and Schmidt has also adjusted his mentality. Anyway, Mars is selling so well, at most he can wait for the second Yike conference in June this year to launch a new phone. In just half a year, T-Mobile can open up 3G services in more cities in the United States, and Europe can also further explore the market.

The two of them are quite competitive, but Fang Zhuo took advantage of his free time to visit Amazon and finalize the cloud computing project, which seemed quite calm.

The twisted negotiations ushered in changes at the end of January.

Lee Jae-yong was shaken by two pieces of industry news. One was that HTC announced that it would launch a new phone with Android system within the year, and the other was that Yike’s official website quietly updated the sales figures, quietly breaking through 4 million units.

“Did Yike really sell 4 million units?” Lee Jae-yong once suspected that Yike was cheating to deceive Samsung into compromise.

Fang Zhuo sighed: “Yes, it’s a pity that the growth rate has slowed down.”

Yike Mars’ sales growth rate has obviously slowed down. Even with the popularity of touch-screen games, it has only sold more than 1 million units this month, which is only 0.8 joints.

The new product plans of many manufacturers in response to their traditional brand power are still affected by their traditional brand power. In particular, iPhone has announced that the new phone in March will provide 3G and front-facing cameras. No one wants to see Yike eating up in the new track direction.

Lee Jae-yong was shocked.

Well... two years is not impossible. Everyone develops harmoniously. Who can still think of suing the other party for patents?

What's more, there is the cooperation on the Hummingbird chip.

As for HTC, jumping out to carry Android at this time puts obvious pressure on Samsung. Regardless of whether it is Google's behind-the-scenes instigation, Samsung has not joined the PRO Alliance anyway, so how many patents does HTC have?

Lee Jae-yong pushed forward the negotiation progress. It's almost the New Year. You don't go back to China for the New Year. I want to go back to South Korea for the Spring Festival.

Once Samsung changes its mind, things will go smoothly.

When Yike and Samsung signed the authorization contract, Lee Jae-yong took the initiative to ask to visit Yike's Silicon Valley R&D Center.

While he praised the place that created Mars, he regretted that it would be better for Samsung to eat up the Hummingbird team itself.

But Lee Jae-yong quickly adjusted his mentality. Samsung could not take all the advanced technologies into its pocket. As long as the cooperation is maintained, Samsung will definitely be the one that moves forward the fastest with its deep accumulation.

On the last day of January, the Samsung Electronics team prepared to leave Silicon Valley and return to South Korea.

However, just as Lee Jae-yong was about to board the plane, a piece of news shocked and angered him - the US judiciary announced new progress in the investigation of international LCD panel giants suspected of monopoly and panel price manipulation.

Some relevant sources said that BOE played an immeasurable role in the antitrust investigation.

Lee Jae-yong repeatedly confirmed the news and was sure that he was stabbed deeply by shameless and forceful.

He immediately canceled the flight and looked for the perpetrator.

"Go to Yike!"

I had a cold and a headache, so I got up early last night to write a chapter.
