Chapter 907 Series
Golf is probably a more suitable way to communicate with friends.
When Fang Zhuo met Director Hunter, he had such a feeling in his heart.
Including Hunter, almost everyone he met recently was very happy...even good at making friends.
Fang Zhuo found that there were a few people who had already made their moves when he just showed some interest.
Perhaps, this is because the new friends he chose have been screened, or perhaps...it's just like the mountains and rivers looking for soulmates, not me looking for them, but they want to find me.
This made Fang Zhuo vaguely remember a law that has not yet been promulgated, the "Prohibition of Using Congressional Information Trading Act", which targets those congressmen who often come into contact with insider information, asking them not to use non-public information to obtain the benefits of stocks and bonds, and must report the transaction status in real time. Failure to report within the deadline will be fined 200 US dollars.
Fang Zhuo has a lot of 200 US dollars in his hand to make friends, which can help them pay such huge fines in the future, as well as other types of penalties.
Of course, he hopes that it is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish.
Fang Zhuo enthusiastically recommended Yike's stocks to people like Director Hunter and others introduced by Lu Peining, and revealed the latest sales of Yike Mars2.
Because they were making friends, he also talked very frankly about Yike's patent negotiations with Nokia, and was very confident about the final solution and a soft landing.
The day after Hunter met with President Fang, he immediately bought some Yike's stocks.
Even though he usually doesn't pay much attention to the mobile phone industry, Hunter has a very basic and effective judgment, which can be compared horizontally with the million-sales of new products of other mobile phone manufacturers.
On July 17, Yike's official website took the lead in updating the sales of Mars2 under the attention of many friendly companies.
Yike held a press conference on the 27th of last month, and it was pre-sold until the 10th of this month. Then after 7 days of official sales, Mars2 successfully broke through the global sales of one million units again, continuing the hot momentum of the Mars series.
LG Electronics launched it in March, broke through one million in April, and there was no news of the second million until July. It was obviously a Waterloo.
Sony Ericsson and HTC were both two days ahead of Yike, and the official launch was also ahead of schedule, but there was no sign of a million sales.
As for Nokia's 5800... it's hard to talk about sales now, and it may need to consider the problem of stocking up and digesting.
With only one extremely sharp comparison at Yike's press conference, the image of Nokia 5800 was instantly shaped by the speed of the Internet, and this was even included in some professional discussions to analyze the innovation of the Internet in the form of publicity.
In the past, how many negative articles would have to be written to achieve such an effect?
The upgraded parameters of Mars2 continued the achievements of the pioneering work, and it seemed to push Yike to a higher and more stable position. The most direct reaction was the green stock price in the US stock market.
Since entering the mobile phone industry, Yike's stock price has experienced three different situations. Before the launch of the iPhone of its rival Apple, the company's market value was stable at 10 billion US dollars. In the six months from the release of the iPhone to the release of Mars, the stock price fell to the 30 US dollar mark, and the market value was about 8.5 billion US dollars.
When Mars was unveiled in June, the stock price slowly rose again and gradually returned to its previous position. It was even more green until it was launched in December...
As of July this year, due to the patent dispute with Nokia, the stock price fluctuated slightly, but it was still more than twice that of last year. The secondary market was quite optimistic about the development prospects of Yike in the mobile phone industry.
Now, with a stable operating partner, real parameter upgrades, good product reputation, and lively publicity and promotion, the sales of the new generation of Mars have exceeded one million again, and the stock price has risen immediately.
Friends who have been connected by golf have verified Mr. Fang’s judgment on wealth growth in a short period of time, and their mood has also risen along with the stock price.
It’s just...
Yike has really turned into a well-known mobile phone company, and its competitors are not very happy.
Nokia’s products are unsalable, LG Electronics has suffered a Waterloo, and HTC has not met expectations. These three companies have patent disputes with Yike, not to mention that there is a competitor who packages patent licenses for Yike, buys Android shares first and then transfers them to Mr. Fang...It’s a bit unpleasant.
What’s going on?
Why did the lights suddenly flash?
On July 18, the day after Yike announced its sales, Sony CEO Stringer visited Silicon Valley to seek some advanced experience in mobile phones.
Fang Zhuo played a round of golf with the old Sir.
He could understand his mood. After all, Yike's music player was promoted by Walkman, and now it has more or less relied on Sony Ericsson's patents, Sony's camera technology, and the acquisition operation of the boss...
It is difficult not to understand this emotion.
Fang Zhuo is a foreign director and his own people to Stringer. He hopes that his own people live well, but he also thinks that this is too good.
Unfortunately, Sony has shown some decline again due to the recent economic situation.
Stringer played golf and felt a little disappointed.
"Sir, I asked you to use Android before, but you insisted on going to Microsoft." Fang Zhuo understood, and responded to the other party's emotions with confidence. He did not remind him of anything.
"Android has not yet defeated Nokia's Symbian and Microsoft's WM." Stringer only admitted to regretting one thing, "But the shares of this Android company seem to be sold at a loss now. I heard that Samsung still wants to invest in Android?"
Fang Zhuo immediately said righteously: "Don't worry, sir, Android will never let a third company in again. Samsung is wishful thinking."
Well, there will be no third company. Samsung is wishful thinking. Sony Ericsson should not try it for the time being.
Stringer was blocked and looked a little annoyed.
"This is the decision of the major shareholder Google. They are unwilling to give in." Fang Zhuo explained and smiled, "If Sony Ericsson still has expectations for Microsoft, then it's okay there. The PRO alliance between me and Google can reserve a place for Sony Ericsson first. You can slowly develop an Android project. Get on board first and make up the ticket later."
Is the external director good enough for the chairman?
Stringer pondered for a moment and nodded slowly. Android's momentum is indeed good, and the quota for the PRO alliance is also somewhat guaranteed.
However, due to some emotions, he did not mention the gossip he had just heard that Microsoft was considering cooperating with Nokia to some extent, and it might take some time to explore the strong alliance.
Just as Google values the mobile entrance and spends energy to build a mobile phone system, Microsoft also pays great attention to new opportunities and does not want to sit back and watch Google's smooth development.
Stringer kept his mouth shut and hit a good shot, asking casually: "Are you going to be listed in the Chinese market soon?"
"Haha, it's almost there. I will return to China next month, and domestic friends are looking forward to me." Fang Zhuo was in a good mood. Unlike the fierce competition environment abroad, the situation in China...
According to Xiao Su's description, everyone is waiting for the stone to fall.
My wife is a doctor and is under closed-loop isolation management in the hospital... Tonight was not as smooth as yesterday. I coaxed my daughter to sleep for a long time, and then coded for a while. I won't stay up too long. I will try to find time to finish and post a chapter during the day tomorrow.
