Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 801 [The Fall of a Giant]

Science and Technology Complex, Luo Sheng's private office.

"The incident between Pinduoduo and Weilan Pure Electric Automobile Co., Ltd. has come to an end. The other party directly turned off the flame. No accident, there should be no follow-up." An Qingxue came to the office to report to Luo Shenghui.

"So fast?"

Luo Sheng was stunned. He was a little bit dumbfounded. This was too fast. You were only a starter, and the white flag was directly displayed before the opponent shot.

"This President Huang dares to fight, and can bend and stretch. It's a human thing." Luo Sheng couldn't help but smile, with a sense of appreciation in his words.

Because the other party counseled so quickly that it would be difficult to remove his app and block it next. If it is forcibly blocked, he will be able to win sympathy by showing weakness and become a victim, Azure On the contrary, the coast has fallen into the name of bullying the small.

Sympathizing for the weak is a common psychology of human beings. In many cases, we don’t tell you any logic at all. The general public can easily be mobilized to "sympathize with the weak". Otherwise, how could there be a "sympathy for the weak" since ancient times. What about the saying "for people"...

Several of Luo Sheng's major companies have grown to the scale they are today. The larger the scale, the larger the scale of enemies. If so many people are offended, the masses of consumers cannot be offended.

"Ding Ping handled this matter very reasonably, achieving the goal and controlling the expansion of the situation." Luo Shengyan commented concisely, the company's plate is so big, it is easy to overturn the car in the first move, and the latter can win the version stably.

The first shot will give people a feeling of overwhelming people. The Blue Coast and Bluestar Technology were "dragon slayer warriors" more than ten years ago. Now many people are actually afraid that the former "dragon slayer warriors" will become Everyone is watching the new "evil dragon" with their eyes wide open, and they always want to attach the name of "evil dragon" to the head of the blue coast, and then want to be the new "dragon warrior".

After this episode passed, An Qingxue turned to report on other work matters.

"Azure-5X's first week of sales data in the domestic market has been released, with shipments of 3.77 million units, which won the first week of sales in October."

"Not bad." Luo Sheng nodded in satisfaction.

Azure-5X is the world's first 5G folding screen mobile phone. Since the product was released, other domestic and foreign mobile phone manufacturers, such as Xiaomi, Samsung, etc., have begun to develop their own folding screens, 5G and other selling point new products on the agenda.

They also don't want to follow the trend, but there is no way. The Riviera is leading the trend of technology. If the new mobile phones you sell can't be folded, consumers will not be a bird, just like the concept of full screen, now it has become a basic requirement.

As an electronic product with a price of 18,999 yuan, it can be said that the price has broken through the sky. So far, there is no smart phone more expensive than this. The sales volume in the first week can reach nearly 4 million units, which is a turnover of more than 70 billion yuan. Just grab money.

Such a high price can create such good sales. Even the Côte d’Azur did not expect that the new products are built using a purely localized supply chain system. At one time, I was worried that consumers would buy it, but the sales data has proven This worry is redundant, and the company has temporarily added a production order.

"How about the sales of notebooks? What is the market feedback?" Luo Sheng asked, he is more concerned about the performance of this edge business.

"AzureBook's shipments reached 730,000 units in the first week, which is 30% more than expected, which is much more than expected. At present, new production orders have been added." An Qingxue answered in an orderly manner.

If the great success of Azure-5X makes the industry look at it, but it will not be too surprised. As an absolute leader in the industry, the Côte d'Azur should have achieved such a result.

But what really surprised the industry was that the Côte d’Azur notebook business, as a groundless edge business product, also won the first week of sales in October in one fell swoop.

According to Strategy-Analytics data, in the second quarter of this year, global notebook computer sales increased significantly, with a year-on-year increase of 27%. Lianxiang and HP became the two fastest-growing brands this quarter, with Lianxiang’s shipments of 13.5 million units. , Becoming the world's first with a market share of 25%.

Followed by other brands such as Dell and Apple.

However, no one expected the sales of the first laptop on the Côte d’Azur to be so terrifying. Judging from the current sales data, the sales in the fourth quarter of this year are likely to be the number one, and it is expected to exceed 15 million by the end of the year. Shipments.

Because the first week of sales does not include the international market.

Obviously, this is the rhythm of rushing to the throne of the industry. It is not for soy sauce at all. No one expected the AzureBook borderless full-screen notebook to be so successful as soon as it was launched. A proper debut is the peak. Rhythm.

AzureBook follows the industrial design style of Azure mobile phones on the Côte d'Azur, and has overwhelmed competitors' products in terms of appearance.

Another reason that cannot be ignored is the premium ability of the "Côte d'Azur" brand. The power brought by the $350 billion brand value is definitely not to be ignored.

The LOGO trademark of Côte d'Azur is a symbol of the trend of technological fashion and high technology in the impression of consumers.

To be an exaggeration, even if it is an 18-lane laptop, as long as it is affixed with a Côte d’Azur logo certification, it can be a great success in business. The number of "basic disks" on the Côte d’Azur alone is a huge amount of iron powder. Of consumer groups.

Many consumers actually have "collection control" obsessive-compulsive disorder, that is, the family bucket series. Although they don't use it, they can't live without them. If they are missing, they feel uncomfortable. They need to be neat and tidy to be perfect.

To talk about grounding is to satisfy the sense of demand for installation ratio.

...

The official V of the Blue Coast Company released a dynamic news, announcing the first week of sales data for the two new products of Azure-5X and AzureBook, which also shifted people's attention from the incident of Pinduoduo and Azure Pure Electric Automobile Company. come.

The biggest characteristic of human beings is that they are easily forgetful. As soon as new hot spots come out, they quickly abandon old topics.

It’s quite surprising that the price of Azure-5X is so expensive, but it’s not too dumbfounded. Even in the eyes of many people, as a leader in technology trends and industry leaders, such achievements should be achieved. If sales hit the street, it could become a hot topic.

However, the most surprising thing to the outside world is that the sales volume of AzureBook also won the first month of October sales. For this product, many people think that the sales volume will not be too bad, because there is a guarantee for the benefits of the "Blue Coast" brand, even as Novices in the PC industry should not embarrass their sales performance.

As a result, he never expected to directly win the first week's sales of over 700,000 units, which is the rhythm of rushing to the industry's first share.

At this time, the netizens who eat melon decisively turned out Lianxiang, and turned out Mr. Yang's "advice" to tease the corpse.

On the day when the Côte d’Azur revealed its sales data report, Lianxiang’s stock price plummeted by 20%, and its total market value was only HKD 47.04 billion.

The development of Lianxiang has been difficult to reverse the decline in these years, and now the Blue Coast has entered the PC business and entered people's field of vision with its debut, which directly triggered the secondary market investors to start voting with their feet.

On the same day, the Blackstone Group, one of the top four major shareholders of Lianxiang Group, announced that it had reduced its holdings of 64.568 million shares three days ago. Today, it has reduced its holdings by 200 million shares again, and the balance of holdings has dropped to 326 million shares.

Public data shows that in March last year, Blackstone held 792 million shares of Lianxiang Group, which accounted for 6.59% of total equity. So far, its share of holdings has dropped to 2.71%.

Lianxiang, as the world's number one manufacturer of PC computers by market share, was listed on the Hong Kong stock market, and was selected as a constituent stock of the "Hang Seng Index", the price index of Hong Kong stocks. The acquisition of IBM's ThinkPad business was a blessed time.

However, from seven years ago to the present, Lianxiang’s market value has evaporated by nearly 65%. From the pride of the Chinese people to the loss of the city, it has been abandoned by consumers, and it has been rated as the worst technology stock by the media.

The once brilliant giants have also fallen.
