Intelligent Industrial Empire

Chapter 1457: Desperate Apple Company

Faced with the emergence of a new generation of smart phones from Yun's Holdings, the world's major mobile phone manufacturers suddenly wailed.

All of their companies are still developing in the direction of color-screen mobile phones, but the Chinese have given up the design and development of button phones and put them on the market instead of touch-screen non-button phones.If the high-end phones launched at the beginning left a way for them to survive, but the three-hundred-dollar phone now allows them to discover that they have no market share at all.

Old-fashioned mobile phones will not be eliminated in a short time, this is everyone's understanding.

However, with the launch of Yun's new generation of mobile phones, their old-fashioned mobile phones must have a price cut that exceeds their imagination.

They have a year, and after one year, Yun's Holdings will definitely launch new models.

They don’t even know where performance is heading.

They just don't understand why a Chinese company can make such a product.China has always had very poor technical strength!

But who of them knows that Yunfei started to make this style of mobile phone when he made mobile phones many years ago?The same is true for chips. High-performance small-scale microprocessor technology is not much more complicated than computer processors. Yun's subsidiary has an electronics factory that produces various computer chips for their company.

They just want to know the latest news.

It was a company whose restructuring of a Chinese military-industrial unit finally fell into the hands of Yunfei.

Apple, in accordance with historical development trends, should have risen rapidly after Jobs returned. However, Yun Holdings seemed to know their ideas. Whenever they have developed a new generation of products through hardships, when they have not succeeded, China’s This company has already produced products with similar performance and external management, and even applied for a patent earlier than them. For such a thing, all Apple managers and shareholders are very helpless.

After investigating many times in the company, there was no commercial espionage at all, even after all the yellow employees in the company were expelled.

It's the same now.

Jobs struggled with his brains, and Apple also worked hard to prepare touch-screen mobile phones. As a result, when the research was about to be completed, the wheat mobile phone under Yun's Holdings actually launched their design plan.

This is a brand-new appearance design structure and operation structure. When I asked the Patent Office, the other party really registered the patented technology!

They were dumbfounded immediately.

Apple has been losing money for years, and the computer has always competed with Xingmeng Computers. It is preparing to launch the X-BOX for game consoles. As a result, Jiuxin Times has launched a handheld game console and is preparing to launch a music player based on network downloads. As a result, this company immediately launched it again. MP3.

This is simply their rhythm.

But they have no way at all.

Up to now, Apple's market value has been less than 3 billion U.S. dollars due to consecutive losses.If the news that the new project fails again is announced, Apple faces bankruptcy.

Ever since, a group of Apple's major shareholders and senior management were called together to discuss how to deal with the company's current dilemma.

"Everyone knows the company's situation. Now is the time for our company to survive and die. Whether it is our all-in-one machine, our game console, or mobile music player, they cannot be listed because their patents have been registered by the Chinese. And now Another project of ours was first launched by the Chinese. Similarly, their patents were registered. Now, there are three ways before us. First, cooperate with the Chinese and purchase patent licenses from them. In the coming years, the products we have developed over the years will be able to be marketed and gain part of the market share; secondly, learn from the Chinese, ignore their patents, and forcefully promote our products to the market. In this way, we will Facing a lawsuit, the Chinese international lawyer team is currently very idle; third, continue to invest in the development of new products and new technologies. If the Chinese take one step ahead of us, our company will go bankrupt..." Jobs' eyes were bloodshot.

In the past few years when he returned to Apple, he hardly had a good night's sleep.Since 1997, the Chinese took the lead in launching the Star Dream all-in-one machine before them, and they have begun to fall behind step by step.Every design has exhausted his brain and effort.

However, all these efforts were wasted.The only thing is that when the Chinese did not pay much attention to the world market at the beginning, they occupied a large market share in the traditional markets of the United States and Europe.

But in the end, as the Chinese are expanding in the world, their company’s market share is shrinking. Several epoch-making new products have been patented by the Chinese for two to three months. When this design was proposed, it was introduced to the market.

In this way, the phenomenon that their company just turned a profit into a profit is gone forever.

The original market value of tens of billions of dollars continues to shrink.

If the Chinese are using core components such as imported processors, they will have the means to prevent the Chinese from saying anything.But the Chinese do not import any parts abroad at all, as if they have obtained the most advanced technology and equipment from abroad or obtained technology from aliens, and everything is produced by themselves.

If you want to bring down the Chinese company, there is no possibility except to start from within.

And now the protection of this company by the Chinese senior management is constantly increasing, and many red families who have ideas about their company have been suppressed when they first came up with ideas.Last year, the violent incident of Yunfei's office insulting female employees was finally put down easily.

This instead gave their company an advertisement worth tens of billions of dollars.

That's something the whole world is reporting!

Now, Jobs has no way to deal with the dilemma the company is facing.The entire company relies on its old business-computer production to maintain the company's operations. Even the orders from the US government and the military cannot stop their losses.

The U.S. government’s economy has been very poor since the September 11th incident, and there is no sign of recovery at all. In the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the U.S. military was in trouble and consumed huge amounts of money. The government had no excess funds to carry out domestic operations. Economic stimulus plan.

After the Internet bubble burst in 1999, the U.S. economy has not yet recovered, and it began to encounter nuclear attacks on its homeland...

Apple, now can’t count on the government to rescue them, even the loan has become a very unrealistic thing.

"Purchase patent-licensed technology from the Chinese? It's simply impossible. Let's not say how high the price the Chinese will shout, where does our company get the funds?" Wozniak said, shaking his head. .

This is simply impossible.

"In fact, in the current situation of the company, we cannot continue to inject capital into the company. According to the current situation, it is possible for the Chinese to offer 10 billion US dollars..." said a major shareholder of the company.

Who would inject capital into the company under the current circumstances?

"We just want to ask why our company is late than the Chinese every time, and they seem to come specifically for us. Mr. Jobs, can you give us shareholders an explanation for this matter?" Shareholders attacked the thin Jobs.

When Apple was in trouble, they hoped that Jobs would come back to earn more money for them and acquire NeXT at a price much higher than the market price.

But now it seems that this is a huge failure.

"I can’t explain this. Why do Chinese people predict the development of our products? I said it last time. I don’t know. Because even myself, I have no idea about our company’s next research project and product. I don't know." Jobs said with a sullen expression.

These guys are like this.

If the company loses money, it is always hoped that someone can come out to take responsibility so that they can pass on the company’s debt and divest.

It's just that the company has suffered serious losses, and none of them can withdraw their capital.

"Or, the inspiration for your projects are all Chinese?" Someone questioned this.

This kind of thing can only be explained clearly in this way.

This is something that many shareholders have always suspected.

In five years, their confidence in Jobs has been completely consumed.

"You spit your mouth! Don't go too far. It was because of you that he left the company, and it was also because of you. He returned. This company was founded by me and him. No one thought of such a difficult situation. Who knows if the Chinese use dark magic?" Wozniak heard these bastards getting more and more excessive, and Jobs's face turned purple because of anger. If this goes on, something has to happen.

Immediately came forward.

"I invite everyone here today to discuss the solution, not to blame who is responsible here. You are all people who like to plant spies everywhere, and you want to send people to Chinese companies, or those who bought People, what news did they pass back to you?" These things could not be put on the surface.

"The last time Steve Jobs said that this kind of technology is still very immature and requires a lot of research and development funds. You want profit but are not willing to invest. The entire project has invested a total of 60 million U.S. dollars, if not As for the drag on research funding, there hasn’t been a result yet?” Normally, Wozniak seldom speaks, but the attitude of these shareholders before them is really disgusting.

His words left everyone speechless.

For a large company like them, a brand-new epoch-making project, with an investment of only 60 million US dollars, feels shabby when it comes out.

But these are money, not paper.

Who doesn't hurt if you pay out?

"The three solutions proposed by Mr. President are impossible. The first one is that we cannot afford to pay for the patent license. It can be seen from the technologies that Intel and AMD have purchased from them. Second. First, once our products are on the market, the other party will definitely sue us. Once such a situation arises, we have been accusing mainland China of disrespect for intellectual property rights will become a joke, and the Chinese will infringe more frantically. ...At the same time, our company will also encounter a bankruptcy crisis. The third one is basically impossible, unless the government is willing to continue to lend us..." A woman in her forties stood up.

"Olia, what do you think?" Wozniak sighed when he saw the vice president of the company speaking, and he was still confident that he could solve their immediate dilemma.

When the company is facing a dilemma, shareholders just want to recover their losses and obtain greater benefits from others at the same time, rather than thinking about how to solve the difficulties.

If it were not for the company's lack of money, everyone would withdraw their capital.

This is the sadness of such a company.

"Using equity to replace Yun's patented technology, our company has what they want. They are currently building global channels, and our channels are not lacking. At the same time, our production capacity and our brand value are beyond their means Comparable..." Olia said this plan without hesitation.

This is the conclusion she came to after thinking about it for a long time and looking for many people to advise.

If you want to rescue the company, you can only take this approach.

The Chinese will never give up on such things.

Once this kind of cooperation is achieved, the Chinese will easily gain access to the North American and European markets...

"No! How can the company's shares be handed over to the Chinese..." Upon hearing such a plan, many major shareholders suddenly boiled over.

Such a thing is simply impossible.

"This is our only option at the moment. It can save the company without spending money. At the same time, we can also get their technology from the Chinese... Otherwise, our company's only way out is to file for bankruptcy..." Oliayi Said with a sneer.

She is not a shareholder of the company, but she is seriously considering the future of the company.

Those who really own the company seem to have no feelings for the company at all.

Except for the three shareholders who founded the company.

"According to your guess, how many shares do the Chinese need to agree to this matter? They won't let us take advantage, and they will definitely open their mouths if they take the opportunity." Wozniak frowned.

"At least 30% of the total equity, and even they will want 40%!" Olia said, everyone in the company was silent.

They cannot accept such a result.
