My Age of Investment

   Chapter 1077 Unfair Competition

  The North American office park of Fuxing Industry Holding Group is close to Facebook, Tubing, Android and Tesla. Several companies are located in Palo Alto, adjacent to Stanford University, with no more than a few kilometers apart from each other.

  A dozen kilometers away from Palo Alto, there is another well-known small tech town in Silicon Valley—Cupertino. Wisdom Fruit is a representative local enterprise.

  In an elegant and quiet office, Kook, who has just concluded the iPhone3G product launch, is watching and analyzing the video of the product launch of Renaissance FX2 and DJI Phantom 1 with Jobs.

  After watching the video, Ku Ke frowned slightly, his mood was a bit complicated, and his opponent grew quickly and became more and more difficult.

   And the scrawny Jobs's withered yellow face showed a little smile, "I thought they would come up with some amazing works, it seems that I was worrying too much.

  Since the day it was founded, the mediocre gene has been rooted in the bones of this company. At the same time, their corporate culture is full of speculation, excessive marketing and plagiarism.

  They will never know that product innovation is the correct way for a company to maintain its vitality.

  If they continue to make mobile phones along the old ideas, it will be a matter of time before they lose their current market share and market position.

  Tim, are you confident that you can use iPhone3G to beat them in sales? "

Jobs turned his head to look at Kurk. The muscles on both sides of the former's cheeks were so thin that they were sunken in, causing the cheekbones to be high and bulging. He looked horribly ill, but his eyes flashed brightly and he looked at him with piercing energy. Kook.

"I……"

  Cool Knuckles his lips. He wanted to say "no confidence", but he was afraid of making Jobs mad and sick;

   allows him to answer "have confidence", that is purely self-deception.

  From the effects and functions shown in the video, the performance of Renaissance FX2 is not worse than iPhone3G in all aspects, and even surpasses iPhone3G in some places.

   Seeing this "counseling" of Kok, the smile on Jobs's face gradually sank.

He faintly said: "What? You have no confidence? Wisdom Fruit, as an established technology company that has been established for more than 30 years, can't beat their new company that has been established for more than three years? And it is still a new company established in the technological desert of China. company!"

  Jobs's questioning and mocking tone made Ku Ke feel a little unhappy.

  He went to China last year. He also gave lectures at Tsinghua University, Peking University and other universities, and had in-depth conversations with students.

  He discovered that China is not a technological desert in Jobs's words. On the contrary, Chinese universities can train hundreds of thousands or even millions of engineers every year. What a terrible technological potential this is.

   Even if the underlying technology cannot break through for a while, China can rely on a large number of middle and low-level engineers to achieve the world's leading position in the supply chain, application layer and other fields. This is not a technological advantage.

  As far as he knows, the cost of many mobile phone components other than chips for Fuxing FX1 is lower than theirs, because part of the other party’s supply chain is built in China.

  Kook, who has a background in supply chain operation and management, is extremely sensitive to cost and inventory, and has a nearly paranoid pursuit.

  Last year’s trip to China brought many changes to Kok’s thinking. One of the most important is to firmly enter the Chinese market with smartphones.

  In fact, the part where the sales volume of Fuxing mobile phones exceeds that of Wisdom Fruit is also the increase from the Chinese market.

  So many reasons are added together, can Wisdom Fruit still underestimate the Chinese market? Still unwilling to lower the noble head?

  Cook thinks that Jobs' pattern is smaller!

  His former boss should take advantage of the last years of his life to go to China to take a look and take a walk. Don’t take the narrow eyes of the past to look at the ever-changing China.

  Thinking of this, Kok suppressed the evil fire in his heart and decided to persuade Steve Jobs, who was kind to him.

  "Steve, China is about to open the Olympic Games. It is said that they have invested a total of more than 40 billion U.S. dollars in this project, and they want to attract the world's attention!

  I think you and Laurenna can take the children to China to relax, which may be beneficial to your recovery. "

  Jobs sneered, "Recovered? I'm afraid that after I go, the smog over there will make me suffer from new respiratory diseases."

  Cook secretly shook his head in his heart. The other party's contempt for China is deeply ingrained, and he may not be able to change it for a lifetime.

  No matter how bad the environment is, it is better than your favorite India, right?

   "Okay, don't talk about China all the time. What we are discussing now is whether the iPhone 3G can surpass the Fuxing mobile phone in sales and leave it behind?"

   Jobs lowered his body, stared at Kurk, and said very seriously: "If this goal is achieved, even if I die tomorrow, I will die without regret!"

  Cook waved his hand, "Steve, you are too pessimistic, isn't Laurenna helping you find the liver source recently? It can definitely be cured."

   Jobs didn't say a word. If he could not die, he certainly didn't want to die.

  In order to prolong his life, he heavily summoned Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University and other top universities' medical research institutions to sequence his whole body cells.

  According to statistics, he is the 20th human being to achieve whole-genome sequencing in the world.

   In addition, targeted therapy, a currently immature anti-cancer technology, has also been arranged. Next week, he will go to Switzerland for a “peptide receptor radioisotope therapy” method that can only be consumed by the top rich.

  The body was constantly suffering from illness, and he finally began to choose to believe in medical science.

  Of course, he still insists on taking cow dung capsules.

  The purpose of the multi-pronged approach is to live a longer period of time, until the day when Wisdom Fruit slams the Fuxing mobile phone under her feet.

   Jobs dispelled the thoughts in his mind, and asked bluntly: “Tim, let’s be honest, why are you so afraid of Fuxing Phone?”

  The question asked by Ku Ke was a bit embarrassing, and his expression was a little unnatural.

  However, Ku Ke is a good old man. He did not turn his face, but patiently explained: “The downloading application of Fuxing mobile phone is free, and we charge a fee. This matter has caused a lot of controversy on the Internet.

  If reasonable countermeasures are not taken, I am afraid that a large number of smart fruits will abandon the use of our products. At the same time, neutral users will be more inclined to choose revival phones that adopt a free strategy. "

  Jobs disdainfully said: "This is a view full of short-sightedness! Paid software is a strategy that really helps build a smart fruit software ecosystem!

  First of all, it allows developers to make money. Only when money is made can developers eat bread and have a steady flow of motivation to optimize and upgrade software and develop new software at the same time.

  Secondly, this strategy has expanded a new revenue channel for Wisdom Fruit. We can invest the money we earn in the research and development of new generation mobile phones and processors to create our technical barriers.

  PASemi, you need to keep an eye on it and reach a new cooperation agreement with ARM as soon as possible. "

  Speaking of this, Steve Jobs sneered, “The Children’s Day gift was not sent to the Fuxing mobile phone. Try to give them a Christmas gift next year!”

  Cook also laughed. Self-developed chips have always been a dream pursued by Wisdom Fruit. Since the 1980s, related projects have been launched, and countless chip partners have been smashed, and they have ended up in a feather.

  PASemi company was also pitted by them. The other party developed a chip for Wisdom Fruit after obtaining Jobs’ approval three years ago. After the product was developed, Wisdom Fruit turned and fell into Intel’s embrace.

  The operation of PASemi, a company with a large number of research and development expenses, was suddenly in trouble. They could not handle it this year. The company's valuation dropped sharply, and it sold Wisdom Fruit at a low price of US$278 million.

  This is actually an acquisition plan specially made by Wisdom Fruit. As early as a few years ago, Jobs had taken a fancy to PASemi, but he thought it was highly valued, so he played it like this.

  With the acquisition of PASemi, a chip design team of 150 people joined Wisdom Fruit to form a chip design department under Wisdom Fruit. It has a large number of talents and is also the first regular chip research and development army of Wisdom Fruit in history.

  Cook is complacent about this. No matter how arrogant and paranoid Jobs is, the "legacy" he left to his successor is extremely rich.

  Jobs’ "Legacy", let yourself inherit it!

  "Tim, wait and see, the Fuxing mobile phone has surrendered all the money and life to Samsung. The cunning Koreans will educate them about the sinister mall!"

Jobs was full of smiles on his face, looking like he was waiting to see the jokes, but he suffered a lot from the chip back then, otherwise he would not be so obsessed with the self-developed chip, and even pitted his old friend PASemi. Somewhat unkind.

  The founder of PASemi, he was cooperating with him when he returned to Wisdom Fruit more than ten years ago. The chip of Newton Computer was developed by the other party.

  However, the mall is ruthless, and the other party is cheated, and I can't blame him, I can only blame myself for not being cautious.

  "Steve, I heard that there is a company called Fuxing Semiconductor under the Fuxing Industry Group. Their chip manufacturing plant seems to be put into operation?"

  Jobs smiled, "Can a gun without bullets hit a person? Not to mention an antique gun from the last century."

  Cook also laughed, and to be more honest, Revival's semiconductor manufacturing process seems to be quite backward, and it does not have its own design department, and the industry chain is very flawed.

   "By the way, Steve, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter have all developed Android apps, but not IOS apps."

  Cook said with some worry: “This also means that users who have purchased iPhone 3G cannot use social media, which will make our products less attractive by more than one grade.”

  Jobs finally frowned, "He is a Chinese, and he has mastered the entire American social media."

  Cool smiles bitterly, who can say no? This is also considered a miracle.

  "He is only a shareholder of the three companies now, and does not hold any specific positions. As the CEO, you send an invitation letter to the three companies and invite them to develop IOS applications for users."

  Jobs was still very sensible and did not act unwisely.

  "What if the three companies refuse?" Kok asked.

  Jobs smiled, “Then you tell the users of Zhihuiguo the truth. We invited the three companies with kindness, but they rejected the kindness.

  In addition, Wisdom Fruit can immediately initiate a lawsuit against Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Android, and Fuxing Mobile for unfair competition.

  A Chinese can exert influence on so many important American technology companies. I believe the public, the media, the administration and the judiciary must be all interested in digging deeper. "

   Ku Ke stroked his palm and laughed, "This is a good way! Just do it!"
