Chapter 405 Let's suffocate for our dreams together! Delivered to your door? Poisoning is easy!
"What do you think?"
In the banquet hall, Priscilla asked softly.
"He seems like an idealist on the surface, but I'm not sure, because everyone has two sides. Maybe I haven't seen the other side of him yet."
Zuckerberg shrugged and said to his wife.
He came to China to establish connections with high-level officials and push Facebook into the Chinese market.
It may be easier to gain recognition if you bring your wife along as a Chinese son-in-law.
He will stay in Shenzhen for only two days and will fly to Yanjing tomorrow night to meet with the head of the Internet Supervision Association and participate in publicity activities.
The market worth tens of billions made him extremely envious.
In his opinion, Chen Yansen’s success is closely related to the huge market.
Priscilla chuckled, thinking that Chen Yansen was just disguising himself more cleverly.
She knows the businessman's background best.
At this time, under the arrangement of the organizer, the staff led Zuckerberg and Priscilla to walk in front of Chen Yansen and made a brief introduction to both parties.
"Can you speak Chinese?" Chen Yansen asked Zuckerberg condescendingly.
It’s not that he was arrogant, but the other person was only about 1.7 meters tall, just reaching his chin.
If he didn't look down, he could only speak to Zuckerberg's head.
This little thing is going to fight Musk in the octagon?
Fortunately, there was no fight, otherwise Facebook would have lost its founder.
Zuckerberg didn't understand, so his wife translated for him.
He looked up at Chen Yansen, who was more than half a head taller than him, with a tall and straight figure. The two of them were several sizes apart in size.
"No? Then it won't be that easy for you to enter the Chinese market." Chen Yansen joked.
He and Zuckerberg are also competitors.
Mimo short videos are popular in North America, but users will not fall from the sky, so it is natural to compete for market share from Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
With his wife's translation, Zuckerberg understood what Chen Yansen meant. He asked coldly, "Isn't China an open and free market?"
Chen Yansen's English is not worse than Zuckerberg's, but he deliberately didn't speak. He smiled and replied in Chinese: "You don't even understand Chinese, but you want to make a Chinese social software?"
This question stumped Zuckerberg!
Although he can recruit people and carry out localized operations management, if he fails to understand Chinese culture, it will inevitably cause a series of problems.
“Since Mimo can enter the North American market, why can’t Facebook enter the Chinese market?”
Zuckerberg asked rhetorically.
"I can speak English, can you speak Chinese?" Chen Yansen joked with a smile.
"..." Zuckerberg was stunned, his thoughts were diverted by Chen Yansen.
In fact, both Chen Yansen and he knew that the biggest obstacle for Facebook to enter China was not localization or the Chinese proficiency of its founders, but the approval of the Internet Monitoring Association.
If someone says you can do it, then you can do it. If someone says you can’t do it, then you can’t do it
Seeing this, Ma Wenteng smiled but said nothing.
Although he is certain that Facebook will not be allowed in, there are always exceptions: if Facebook really enters the domestic market, even if it cannot win, WeChat will lose some market share.
He doesn't want another opponent!
"That doesn't count." Zuckerberg quickly regained his confidence and said in a deep voice.
"Good luck to you." Chen Yansen was not in a good mood to talk, so he turned and left.
He and Zuckerberg had nothing much to talk about. They were just colleagues meeting and exchanging a few pleasantries, and that was all.
"From him, I seem to see Mimo's expansion style: strong, rough, but full of conviction."
Zuckerberg muttered to himself after Chen Yansen walked away.
"Compared with 2012, the penetration rate of 4G networks has increased by at least 30% year-on-year. I think Facebook should also add a video module to increase the length of time users stay on the site," Priscilla suggested.
"It's being tested internally. I won't let Mimo continue to be so arrogant." Zuckerberg nodded in response.
Vine, owned by Twitter, is no match for Mimo. After three months of fierce competition, Vine changed the video length limit for users from 6 seconds to 15 seconds, which undoubtedly admitted its mistake in setting the rules.
The originator of short videos imitates the latecomers!
Of course, this title is given by Vine itself, and users in the Beacon Country do not buy it.
In their eyes, Mimo is the only true god in the field of short video APP.
Mimo's content is varied, covering music, food, travel, cross-dressing, comedy and even borderline videos, which make people more and more addicted the more they watch.
Vine?
One on the roadside!
No need for dogs!
at the same time.
LeTV simultaneously released pre-sale links for the LeTV Super TV S40 and X60 models on its official website, Yaomao flagship store and Pinbei’s 10 billion yuan subsidy.
It is worth noting that the LetvUI-S 1.0 operating system equipped on these two smart TVs is a deeply customized version based on Aurora Future OS.
In other words, these are the first batch of smart TVs in the country equipped with Aurora Future OS.
LeTV S40 is equipped with a quad-core 1.5GHz processor and 8GB flash memory, supports 1080p video playback, has a refresh rate of 60HZ, and is priced at 1,999 yuan.
The same type of 40-inch smart TVs usually cost between 2,999 yuan and 3,999 yuan, so LeTV's prices are very attractive.
Less than an hour after the pre-sale link was released, LeTV S40’s sales across the entire network reached 1,000 units!
It may seem pitifully small, but the cumulative sales of dozens of mainstream brands and models across the country is just over 100,000 units per day.
LeTV S40 sold 1,000 units in one hour, instantly causing an earthquake in the industry.
Brands such as Sony, Sanxing, Hisense, TCL and Skyworth suddenly felt the pressure increased sharply.
LeTV is selling too cheap!
To put it bluntly, Jia Yaoting's approach and tactics in the television industry perfectly replicated Chen Yansen's approach in the mobile phone industry.
Another troublemaker!
Accountant Jia wrote on Weibo: "Let's suffocate for our dreams together! On behalf of LeEco, I solemnly promise that within ten years, we will not make a single cent from hardware!"
When Lei Yijun saw the blog post, he looked disgusted and thought: He was using all my words!
Handsome Dong, who was far away in the beacon country relived his youthful years, frowned in displeasure after receiving the news: What does it mean that LeTV has entered Yaomao and Pinbei, but skipped Yidong?
In addition, Jia Yaoting’s words sound quite familiar!
Liu Qiangdong thought about it, and then an idea flashed in his mind. He cursed: "Isn't this what I said when I declared war on Suning and Gome?"
A year ago, on the eve of the 418 Home Appliances Festival, he made a stern statement: "In the next three years, Dongfang Home Appliances will not make a penny!"
He uses Laozi's lines and doesn't cooperate with Yidong. This guy is pretty bad.
Liu Qiangdong secretly complained.
LeTV's other smart TV X60 has a 60-inch large screen, uses a Sharp X-Crystal panel, Qualcomm quad-core 1.7GHz, LeTV ecosystem, and is also equipped with the LetvUI-S 1.0 operating system. It is priced at 6,999 yuan.
In the first hour of its launch, a total of 370 units were sold across the entire network!
Models from other competitors with the same configuration generally cost 9,999 yuan, 12,999 yuan or 14,999 yuan.
Putting aside the production process, just looking at the hardware configuration, LeTV TV can be called the Orange and Xiaomi of the mobile phone industry.
When the stock market closed that day, LeTV’s stock price hit the daily limit!
In just three hours, a total of 2,900 units of the two models were sold!
For LeTV, which has just entered the industry, this is definitely a great start!
Jia Yaoting's transformation path has been smooth and steady!
Lei Yijun was extremely excited after seeing it, and immediately began to think about entering the field of smart TVs.
He doesn't care about hardware profits, ecosystem, paid content, and app sharing revenue.
Because the number of viewing households of a top satellite TV station is only four or five million, but the annual advertising fee can reach six or seven billion.
Advertising revenue is the big deal!
If we sell a few million units, we can earn an additional 5 billion yuan in gross profit per year!
In fact, Lei Yijun is not the only one who is interested in the television industry.
The boss of Baofeng Video's eyes lit up, and he immediately convened a high-level meeting to prepare to enter the smart TV field.
As long as you have millions of existing users, it is equivalent to having one more TV station, and the annual advertising revenue will be considerable. No one can resist the attraction of earning billions of dollars a year.
Find the supply chain, the OEM factory and the after-sales team!
The most important thing is to obtain the technical authorization of Aurora Future OS first!
The other side.
Chen Yansen held meetings and social events in Shenzhen, and then held more meetings and social events.
It was not until the last night of March that he happily kept the appointment, bringing only Lao Gao and Cao Dahua, and sat in the private room of Caixin Mansion with Yuan Ruili.
After a while of drinking, the bottle of Moutai was finished.
"Mr. Chen, what do you think?" Yuan Ruili's cheeks were slightly red. After two glasses of wine, his expression was still clear, and he was obviously a veteran in the bar.
The bottle of Moutai I just drank was just enough to moisten my throat.
"Mr. Yuan, the current production capacity of the Orange Mobile Phone Factory is sufficient to meet the needs of the market. If we rashly expand the scale of production, we will not only lack land, but also lack funds."
Chen Yansen spread his hands and said.
Yuan Ruili smiled lightly. He was a smart man, and Chen Yansen spoke so bluntly, how could he not understand.
It's just industrial land and low-interest loans, that's all he mentioned.
"Can we set up a research and development production base in Shenzhen?" Yuan Ruili asked straight to the point.
Although Orange Technology has a research and development laboratory in Shenzhen, the number of personnel and product categories involved are small. As of now, it has only launched four core products, including mobile power supplies, tablets, laptops, and smart speakers.
What he wants is a large R&D laboratory, on par with Huawei's, to attract more outstanding talents to stay in Shenzhen.
"The Zhongsha Software Park is too small and there is no space." Chen Yansen grinned.
"I can help you with the land and loan issues." Yuan Ruili didn't bother beating around the bush and said straightforwardly.
"Then I have no problem." Chen Yansen agreed straightforwardly.
As for the details, let Cao Dahua discuss them slowly.
Yuan Ruili smiled and shook his head. He understood that Chen Yansen probably had the idea of expanding production capacity, and he happened to meet him, so he took the opportunity to take advantage of it.
However, he doesn't care, as long as the result is positive.
Chen Yansen opened another bottle of Moutai and filled Yuan Ruili's glass. He came to Shenzhen for a good reason and got some benefits, so he was naturally in a good mood.
The drinking party lasted until ten o'clock in the evening before it dispersed in a hurry.
Chen Yansen returned to the hotel, took out his mobile phone, glanced at the hot news, then took off his shirt and prepared to take a shower.
"Knock knock knock!" There was a gentle knock on the door.
"Who?" Chen Yansen asked loudly.
"Boss, there is a document that needs your attention." Chen Jie's cheeks were flushed and her breathing was heavy. She tried hard to keep her breathing steady.
Could this document be you?
Chen Yansen looked amused.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Chen Yansen refused.
It's boring to have someone who comes to your door. He is looking for an assistant, not a secretary.
"Boss, it's urgent." Chen Jie whispered in a soft voice.
"Go back to the company tomorrow and report to the Human Resources Department yourself."
Chen Yansen said in a cold voice.
With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he could see that Chen Jie had empty hands, so where did the documents come from?
Mr. Chen is very picky and never eats food that is brought to his door unsolicited, as it can easily lead to food poisoning.
Hearing this, Chen Jie’s face turned pale: Why is it completely different from what I imagined!
