Chapter 421 Wang Xin: I want to sell myself! Apple A7 is born, Qualcomm bows its head!
The azure sea is surging with undercurrents, the golden sunlight is dancing between the waves, and the sea breeze blows towards you with a salty and fishy smell.
Song Yuncheng stood on the right side of the boat, holding a rock fishing rod in a serious manner, fishing for black porgy or sea bass in the reef area.
Gao Weilin sat in the lounge area, holding a glass of whiskey with ice cubes and lemon slices, sipping it.
As Chen Yansen's new assistant, Meng Yun also boarded Zhang Chaoyang's yacht, without saying a word and with a very low sense of presence.
"From early May to late May, the market value of Qiandu.com evaporated by 6 billion US dollars. Fortunately, Li Yanhong did not attend the Mobile Internet Conference, otherwise you would have to bring at least a few more bodyguards."
Zhang Chaoyang leaned back in his chair, wearing sunglasses, and chuckled and joked.
"Qiandu Search can't even maintain its 50% market share, so how can he have the mood to attend the meeting? However, Zhou Hongyi is more ruthless than me. He is frantically poaching Qiandu's agents in North China, East China, and South China. According to the current situation, Qiandu's advertising revenue in the second quarter may lose more than 15%."
Chen Yansen shrugged and said calmly.
He shook the glass and raised it high into the air.
In an instant, the blue sky and white clouds were dyed with a champagne-colored halo.
"Robin is still too naive. He is always thinking about expanding the business boundaries. Doesn't he understand that the bigger the business, the more enemies there are?"
Zhang Chaoyang took a sip of wine, smiled and shook his head.
He paused, looked at Chen Yansen and said, "Except for you, you will be famous in every field you take."
"Doing business is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will move backward! Qiandu has set up a big stall and seems to be good at everything, but he is not good at anything."
Chen Yansen curled his lips.
"Only you dare to say that. In the fields of search, long video, application distribution and big data, which one is not the top level in the industry?"
Zhang Chaoyang put down his wine glass and expressed his disagreement with Chen Yansen's point of view.
"Except for search and cloud services, what does long video have to do with Qiandu? It acquired iQiyi first and then bought PPS. These businesses were not created by Robin Li.
As for the distribution of apps, it all depends on 91 Assistant, which spent 1.9 billion US dollars to buy an Android app store. It is really like 'having money but nowhere to spend it, throwing it into the sea'."
Chen Yansen sneered with a playful look on his face.
"Every industry has its own barriers. Most entrepreneurs are destined to succeed only in the field they are good at. Do you think everyone is like you?" Zhang Chaoyang grinned. Although he was refuting, there was a hint of praise in his tone.
"What is the current market share of Sogou Search?" Chen Yansen asked casually.
"8.6%, I'm already very satisfied." Zhang Chaoyang held the wine bottle, filled his glass by himself, and said lightly.
He didn't even bother to ask about Lingxi Search's market share.
Anyway, CNZZ will release the relevant data sooner or later!
This "3SB" war in China's Internet has long attracted attention from Asia and even Europe and the United States. Companies including Google are also keeping a close eye on the changes in the market value shares of several leading search engines.
Thanks to the "Moss" plug-in, Lingxi Search has increased its market share to 17.1%, almost exceeding the combined total of 360 and Sogou Search.
"Where is Fox Card?" Chen Yansen asked again.
"We sold 740,000 cards in half a month, with an activation rate of 93%. I'm confused. Sohu has corresponding products in the fields of video, news, social networking and games. Why are the sales of phone cards not as good as those of Star Cards?"
Zhang Chaoyang said with a frown.
Sohu recently launched a social chat software called "Fox Friends", which is not very popular, with only 70,000 to 80,000 registered users and less than 10,000 daily active users.
"You can definitely go with Ali Poka and Penguin King Kirby."
Chen Yansen replied.
What this means is that we are not on the same level and there is no comparison.
"Cough cough——!" Zhang Chaoyang was choked after hearing this and kept coughing violently, his face turning red.
It took him a while to recover, and he said unhappily, "I really want to throw you into the sea to feed the fish. Your little mouth looks like it was covered in honey."
Chen Yansen smiled without saying anything, then used his spiritual sense to scan the sea.
A large black sea bream weighing more than three kilograms happened to swim nearby.
But what confused it was that suddenly its body was out of control, and then its mouth opened slightly, and it actually took the initiative to hang the fishhook.
Seeing this, Song Yuncheng immediately lifted the fishing rod.
"Wow! Mr. Song's skills are getting better and better. This black porgy must weigh four pounds."
Zhang Chaoyang put down his wine glass and walked forward to speak.
“You can add a steamed fish dish tonight,” Chen Yansen added.
After saying that, he looked at his watch and said, "It's getting late, let's go back to the port first."
"I haven't finished the wine yet." Zhang Chaoyang obviously hasn't had enough fun yet.
He has many friends, but few are like Chen Yansen.
"Save it for drinking in the evening," said Chen Yansen.
"Okay, play for another hour and let me try two throws." Zhang Chaoyang said with a grin.
Chen Yansen nodded slightly and didn't object.
Next, he was bored and took turns fishing for Lao Zhang and Song Yuncheng with the purpose of exercising his mental strength.
"Hurry! This sea bass is really strong!"
"Oh shit! I caught another fish!"
Zhang Chaoyang felt a little bit evil, so he never stopped fishing. Soon, the water tank was filled with sea bream, sea bass and mackerel.
Song Yuncheng held on for thirty minutes, then quickly put down his fishing rod, rubbed his sore and swollen arms, and dared not fish anymore.
Zhang Chaoyang, however, looked excited, and didn't look like a man who was almost fifty years old at all.
It was not until the sky was filled with clouds and the sun disappeared into the horizon that he collapsed on the deck, gasping for breath.
Chen Yansen originally wanted to return to Yanjing earlier, but Song Yuncheng whispered "I want to watch the sunset", so Zhang Chaoyang was detained for another hour and a half.
The group returned to the dock for a short rest and then took a private plane back to Yanjing.
The spoils of sea fishing had been handed over to Jingzhao Yin’s kitchen by assistant Zhang Chaoyang for processing. Just as Chen Yansen was about to enter the private room, he heard someone behind him shouting, “Mr. Chen!”
Chen Yansen turned around after hearing this.
It turned out to be Shen Nanpeng from Sequoia Capital and Wang Xin, the founder of Meituan.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhang, what a coincidence." Shen Nanpeng came over to say hello with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Shen, nice to meet you."
Chen Yansen stretched out his right hand and greeted him.
This was the first time he met Shen Nanpeng. The other party invested in OFO's Series A financing and had a cooperative relationship with Senlian Capital.
Zhang Chaoyang originally wanted to suggest having dinner together, but after seeing Wang Xin, he immediately shut his mouth.
Wang Xin stared at Chen Yansen with anger in his eyes.
After a few seconds of silence, he took a deep breath, forced a smile, and greeted politely: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhang."
"Mr. Shen wants to invest in Meituan?" Chen Yansen ignored Wang Xin and turned to look at Shen Nanpeng and asked.
Do you think I'm a fool?
I don’t know what’s going on with Meituan?
What is the difference between making additional investments at this time and throwing your money down the drain?
Ana Shen laughed awkwardly and said, “I’m just having a meal with Mr. Wang, not discussing business.”
When Wang Xin heard this, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
With only four days left until the end of May, Meituan’s transaction volume has just exceeded 300 million, with e-commerce business accounting for 39%.
In other words, the monthly transaction volume of group buying business is less than 200 million.
According to the current development trend, in a few months, Meituan will be renamed "Meituan E-commerce".
Chen Yansen and Shen Nanpeng chatted for a few minutes, then ended the conversation and walked deeper into the courtyard.
After everyone left, Wang Xin could no longer hold it in and his face instantly turned gloomy.
"Mr. Wang, forget it. The best outcome for Meituan is to find a buyer willing to take over while its performance has been stable over the past two months."
Shen Nanpeng persuaded.
He has invested a lot of money in Meituan, so of course he wants to get some of his money back.
Forget about chasing investment!
The US$100 million from General Atlantic only allowed Meituan to survive for three more months. It was like a bottomless pit.
“Boss Shen, I’m in trouble,” Wang Xin responded.
He needed to rely on the relationships and connections of Sequoia Capital, so even if he was dissatisfied with Shen Nanpeng, he dared not show it.
The two of them returned to the box with ulterior motives, smiling.
The other side.
Chen Yansen and Zhang Chaoyang sat opposite each other, and the table was filled with exquisite dishes.
"I guess Wang Xin wants to sell the company," Zhang Chaoyang said firmly.
"Who cares? Whether Wang Xin sells or not, it won't have much impact on Kuaipao."
Chen Yansen poured a cup of warm tea and said nonchalantly.
"That's right! Kuaipao's biggest rival is Qiandu." Zhang Chaoyang waved his hand, and his assistant quickly brought two bottles of good wine.
…
…
At dawn the next day, the sky was slightly bright.
Chen Yansen slowly opened his eyes, pushed Song Yuncheng's hair away from his face, then lifted the corner of the quilt, picked up the pajamas at the end of the bed and put them on.
He glanced out the window. It was all grey and he knew without looking at the time that it was definitely no later than five o'clock.
I sat down at the desk, turned on the computer, logged into the data backend, and checked the business and financial status of products such as Pinbei, Kuapao, and Kuaidi Taxi as usual.
After surpassing Yidong, Pinbei’s daily sales soared. It took three months to increase from 1 billion to 1.2 billion, but only two months to increase from 1.2 billion to 1.5 billion.
Huang Zheng set a target of 10 billion for 618, which is 3 billion higher than the transaction volume of last year's Double Eleven.
The business of Kuaipao and Kuaidi Taxi has become stable. Although Qiandu has grabbed some market share through price war, the price paid by Li Yanhong is not small.
Moreover, due to differences in user experience, after-sales service and fulfillment, the retention rates of Qiandu Group Buying and Qiandu Takeout are also very poor.
There are more and more cases of merchants faking orders to obtain subsidies.
Li Yanhong had high demands and pushed for high expectations, so the operations managers below him simply turned a blind eye.
After all, the higher the merchant's sales, the more commission they get.
Some bold city operation managers directly "open fake stores" and take the lead in obtaining activity subsidies. Everything from the products to the customers and orders are fake.
How much is the monthly salary?
There is no better way to get benefits than to take advantage of a company!
The daily salary ranges from seven to eight hundred yuan to five to six thousand yuan.
Once discovered by colleagues, just drag one more person into the water.
Although the proportion of this group of people is low, the damage they cause to the platform is considerable.
For every 1 million yuan that Li Yanhong spent, 300,000 yuan was taken away by merchants and insiders, 300,000 yuan was taken away by the "wool party", and of the remaining 400,000 users, less than one-tenth remained.
In fact, there is a similar phenomenon in Kuaipao, but the proportion is lower.
Throughout 2012, hundreds of businesses had their stores closed due to false orders and subsidy fraud, and the risk control department submitted a list of as many as 47 internal employees to the inspection office.
It's human nature, there's no way to stop it.
Chen Yansen could only ask Pei Yi to strengthen the risk control mechanism and anti-cheating detection. Anyone who dared to mess around would be fired at best, and sent to work on a sewing machine at worst.
After finishing his work, he went back to bed and took a nap.
At 1:30 in the afternoon, Chen Yansen got into a black Maybach 62S and sped towards the 798 Art Center.
Although Xiaomi is not as well-known as first-tier brands such as Orange, Huawei, and ZTE in the mobile phone industry, it is also a leader among second-tier manufacturers.
In addition to the loyal users accumulated over three years, as soon as you enter the conference hall, you can see a huge group of fans.
They were wearing the same printed T-shirt with "Born for Fever" printed on the chest in particularly eye-catching fonts.
As soon as Chen Yansen got off the car, he ran into Yu Chendong of Huawei.
In 2013, Lei Yijun and Yu Chendong were still able to maintain respect among friendly competitors and often praised each other on Weibo.
Dazui praised Xiaomi's products for their confidence and praised Xiaomi's marketing and channel building capabilities.
Lei Yijun regards Ren Zhongfei as his idol and Huawei as a role model to learn from.
In a nutshell, I loved it.
"Mr. Chen, can you tell me in advance, how many new products does Lei Yijun have today?" Yu Chendong asked in a low voice.
"Three mobile phones and a speaker." Chen Yansen said with a smile.
It doesn’t hurt to tell Yu Chendong. After all, the other party will know it in an hour.
"What's the price?" Yu Chendong asked.
"Mr. Yu, don't panic! It won't have much impact on Huawei."
Chen Yansen thought for a while and said.
Xiaomi 2A and Xiaomi 2S focus on the mid-to-low-end market, while Redmi 1 targets the thousand-yuan phone market.
The price range overlap with Huawei products is not high.
"Actually, I'm not afraid." Yu Chendong said hypocritically.
In the past two years, with the rise of Orange, 360 and Xiaomi, as well as the restrictions imposed by operators on contract phones, Huawei, ZTE, Coolpad and Lenovo have all had a hard time.
"I believe it." Chen Yansen nodded in response.
There was nothing wrong with his expression and demeanor, but Yu Chendong felt that he was just being perfunctory.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Yu, hello! I am Luo Yonghao from Smartisan Technology..."
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in my ears.
Chen Yansen turned around and saw Luo Yonghao wearing a stand-up collar POLO shirt.
"Lei Yijun really likes to invite Luo Yonghao."
Chen Yansen secretly complained.
He met Luo Yonghao at last year’s new product launch conference, and he didn’t expect him to meet him again this year.
"You guys chat, I'll go first."
Chen Yansen nodded slightly and spoke to Yu Chendong and Luo Yonghao.
Mr. Chen doesn't like to get too close to unlucky people, for fear of being infected with bad luck.
What is there for me to talk about with him!
Yu Chendong complained secretly, responded with a few words, and then chased after him.
Smartisan Technology?
Can any decent person name their product like this?
After working for half a year, we finally developed a deeply customized system for Android. We haven’t even assembled the supply chain yet. Do you think this kind of stuff can make mobile phones?
Yu Chendong believes that he and Luo Yonghao have no common topics.
"..." Luo Yonghao looked at the backs of the two people, his mouth twitched, and thought: I am not the God of Plague, do I need to run so fast?
at the same time.
Based on the Orange Z1 instruction set and using its self-developed CPU architecture patent, Apple finally completed the design of the A7 chip.
To Chen Yansen’s surprise, Apple was one step ahead of him!
After testing the energy consumption ratio and computing efficiency on the simulation tool, Apple immediately abandoned the ARM instruction set architecture.
In the eyes of businessmen, they will buy the patented technology of whoever has the lowest price and the best product.
Although Orange Technology is a Chinese technology company, Cook doesn't care.
Even if ARM lowers the price, he will not turn back. Unless ARM can come up with a patent for an instruction set with more advanced performance, he would rather use the Orange Z1 instruction set.
Soon, semiconductor companies such as Qualcomm and Broadcom also learned the news. Excluding the possibility that Cook was crazy, there was only one answer left: the superiority of the Orange Z1 instruction set was beyond their imagination.
Qualcomm, which had previously maintained an arrogant attitude, immediately humbled itself and called the person in charge of the Dahua region.
