Chapter 774 Total War

This time Wang Xiang and Simpson came to Germany's largest Nokia factory - Bochum Nokia Factory to visit, which also attracted a lot of European media attention.

Although European media have always been wary of Changtian Technology, when they heard that Nokia's factory will not lay off workers and will raise wages, everyone is still happy for these factory workers.

The reporters used the cameras in their hands to record the moment at the scene.

They even thought about the title of this news - "New Nokia, the parent company Changtian Technology promises no layoffs at the Bochum factory".

The cheers of Nokia workers lasted for five or six minutes, and after several interventions by the host, everyone quieted down.

Wang Xiang went on to say: "Changtian Technology is also preparing to invest in the construction of lithium battery factories and chip packaging factories in Europe, which is expected to create tens of thousands of jobs."

Wang Xiang then drew a big cake for Europe.

There are many links in chip production.

The most critical technology of chips is chip design and lithography, etching, packaging and so on.

The packaging of the chip is the last link of the chip.

The reason why Chen Xiao planned to put the chip packaging factory in Europe.

It is because Europe does not have any industrial chain in chip packaging technology at all. If the packaging factory is located in Europe, there will be no worries about any technology leakage of the chip.

In addition, the chip packaging industry is an intensive processing industry, which requires a large number of workers and can only help some European countries solve the problem of employment.

In the past few years, the economic development of Europe has been very poor, especially without taking the express train of the international mobile Internet era, the developed countries in Europe have been living on their own.

Of course, Chen Xiao will not place these labor-intensive industries in highly developed countries such as France, Germany or Holland, but in relatively less developed Central and Eastern European countries such as Hungary and Serbia.

The purpose of this is of course to save costs, after all, Changtian Technology is not a Kaizi.

The purpose of Changtian Technology's investment in Europe is to win a larger market for Hanhai mobile phones and other products in the future, not to contribute to the development of European capitalist society.

The per capita salary in Hungary is around 1,000 knives, which is 6,000 or 7,000 RMB. This kind of salary is only a little higher than the coastal areas of Xia Kingdom, and it is within the range accepted by Changtian Technology.

And Serbia's per capita salary is even lower. After a month, the RMB may only be three or four thousand yuan. Such wage income is similar to that of the inland areas of the mainland.

Changtian Technology has built some factories here, and the labor cost is similar to that in China. Even if the local workers do not work as hard as the Xia people, the production cost of hardware will not increase much.

What's more, Europe is pursuing the process of EU integration.

Hungary joined the EU in 2004, and Serbia was a candidate for EU membership last year.

Establishing good relations with these countries will help them speak for Changtian Technology when necessary.

A large number of Xiaguo enterprises, including Changtian Technology, are willing to do business with Europe.

Similarly, some companies in continental Europe, such as Volkswagen, Peugeot, etc., are also willing to do business with Xia Guo.

But Europe has a shit stick, who especially likes to play the offshore balance game - the United Kingdom.

This is what Changtian Technology must guard against.

After Wang Xiang's visit to Bochum.

The major media are reporting on the investment behavior of Changtian Technology in Europe.

Germany's "Business Daily" commented: "Changtian Technology invested a lot of money in Europe, and tens of thousands of Nokia employees were brought back to life. The CEO of Changtian Technology promised to build a lithium battery and chip packaging factory in Europe, which is expected to create tens of thousands of jobs. post."

Agence France-Presse is indeed a well-known media in the world, and their commentators also pointed out some intentions of Changtian Technology: Changtian Technology invested in Europe to escort the sales of Hanhai mobile phones.

But the British "The Times" evaluation is not the same.

"The Times": Changtian Technology has taken a fancy to the cheap land in Europe and will relocate seriously polluting industries to Europe. We should be vigilant to prevent it from being eroded by Changtian Technology. "

Many media in the European continent still welcome Changtian Technology's willingness to invest in the European continent.

After all, for many countries and cities, the ability to boost the economy and solve the employment problem of the people is more realistic than all kinds of rhetoric.

For the mayors or councillors of many cities, if you can help the citizens solve the employment problem and drive the local economic development, then you will have the opportunity to continue to stay in this position.

Wang Xiang will continue to stay in Europe, and visit many countries, go to different cities to experience the local cultural atmosphere and investigate whether it is suitable for investment.

But after Wang Xiang announced a series of investment intentions in Europe, he has received invitations from many cities.

During the time when he returned to Finland from Germany, Wang Xiang also met with more than ten representatives one after another.

This feeling made the accompanying Changtian Technology staff feel a little strange.

Most of Wang Xiang's staff have only joined Changtian Technology in the past two years.

But in their long academic career, they have been indoctrinated with a concept.

That is, Xia Guo is particularly eager for capital from Europe or the United States, and is eager for companies or bosses in these two regions to come and invest.

At that time, let alone a company in Europe or the United States, even if a garbage company in the Wanwan area of ​​Xia Guo wanted to invest in the inland area of ​​Xia State, the local area would treat this company as a guest, with all kinds of delicious and delicious food. In terms of hospitality, extremely favorable conditions are also given.

It is also for this reason that around 2000, many bosses of Wanwan and Xiangjiang City were empty-handed and made a lot of money in the inland city of Xia.

Times seem to be turning back now.

There are many countries and regions in Europe, hoping to cooperate with Changtian Technology, and hope that Changtian Technology can bring investment and employment.

After almost half a month of detailed talks and research.

Changtian Technology decided to open Liangchu semiconductor factories in Germany and Finland, which is the semiconductor factory of Pascal Company, specializing in the production of carbon crystal memory and carbon crystal storage.

It was decided to open a lithium battery production plant, a mobile phone case and motherboard production plant and a chip packaging plant in Hungary and Serbia respectively.

This decision by Changtian Technology is expected to increase Hungary's GDP by 0.2%, Serbia's GDP by about 1%, and provide a total of nearly 10,000 jobs for the two countries.

After Changtian Technology announced one major investment, many countries in Europe were indeed envious.

In the past, as long as the media went to Europe together, the most intuitive feeling of being a person was the developed countries of Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and France.

However, in Central and Eastern Europe, especially the Balkans and the former Soviet Union countries, their economic level is not as strong as everyone produces.

The local government still needs to boost the economy with investment, and the local people also need jobs and employment.

After the completion of this series of supporting measures of Changtian Technology, it is expected that Hanhai mobile phones will be able to achieve mass production in Europe within three months to half a year.

Although the mobile phone produced may still not be able to meet the needs of European consumers, it can also greatly alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand.

Nokia experience stores and telecom dealers in Europe have learned from Hanhai Technology's official channels that Kankan mobile phones will be available in large quantities in the European market.

It has even opened up European consumers to reserve Hanhai mobile phones, and some dealers even charged consumers' reservation amount in advance.

According to data from the backstage of Hanhai Technology, the number of reservations in Europe has exceeded 1 million today, and this number is still increasing sharply.

Samsung headquarters in South Korea.

Lee Jae-ki, president and CEO of Samsung's consumer electronics division, looked at the sales figures in Europe last month, and his face was very bad.

Smartphones are definitely the biggest trend in the past 10 years.

After Samsung and Google cooperated, they did catch up with this trend.

The Gasgoo mobile phone has been launched for several generations in a row, and the sales of each generation are very impressive, which also makes Samsung mobile phone successfully become the world's number one mobile phone brand in sales, and also has the capital to compete with Apple in the high-end field.

But just last month, in the mid-to-low-end segment, Samsung was still the king of the market, but in the high-end segment, the total sales volume of the latest Gaishi mobile phone actually fell by more than 30% compared to the same period last year.

However, Apple, which is also a competitor, has not experienced any increase in sales, but has continued to decline just like Samsung's Galaxy phones.

This shows that it is not Apple's mobile phone that seizes the high-end market of Samsung, but someone else.

Obviously, Hanhai Technology is the one to seize the market.

After Samsung Group's semiconductor business was blocked by Changtian Technology, its biggest growth point has shifted to electronic consumption, that is, mobile phones.

If the mobile phone field is blocked by Changtian Technology again, Samsung's growth will be bottlenecked.

Therefore, the war between the consumer electronics business and Changtian Technology must be won.

Lee Jae-ki said to the executives who were silent in the conference room: "Judging from the performance of the European market, our announcements and statements in various European media have not had any substantial impact on consumers' choices, not even on telecommunications. any impact on the company.”

"According to the news I just got, our biggest partner, Vodafone Telecom, is also trying to negotiate with Hanhai Technology recently, hoping to get the right to sell Hanhai mobile phones."

After Li Zaiji said this, he looked at the many executives with cold eyes.

Although he was no longer speaking, his eyes had already warned the top executives of electronic consumption.

Jin Dayong, who is in charge of European affairs, said: "Now it is very difficult for us to defeat Changtian Technology at the level of public opinion, and we must take some substantive measures."

Jin Dayong said: "My suggestion is to ask the European legal department to immediately file lawsuits against many European countries and the EU system for Changtian Technology's infringement of my intellectual property rights."

Jin Dayong immediately distributed the information on the desktop to everyone in the conference room.

"A detailed plan has been drawn up, and we are going to file a lawsuit against Changtian Technology and Hanhai Technology from three major aspects and six minor aspects."

In order to prepare for today's meeting, Jin Dayong has been preparing for a long time, and the plan he gave is quite detailed.

"Although the size of Changtian Technology has grown exponentially in the past few years, it is because he lacks experience in dealing with European countries after all, and his legal knowledge is also blank."

"We have the best team of lawyers in Europe and several law firms in Europe, and we also have a good cooperative relationship..."

After Kim Dayong said all this, he looked at Lee Jae-ki and the other executives in the conference room with some anticipation.

He hoped that his plan could be approved by the president and all colleagues.

Only some high-level executives who know the details of Gasgoo's mobile phone are silent.

Because they are very clear in their hearts, these so-called public opinion wars of Samsung in Europe are actually just public opinion wars.

If it really goes to court and asks Samsung to produce relevant evidence that Changtian Technology has infringed Samsung’s intellectual property rights, Samsung really can’t come up with it.

Hanhai mobile phone, whether it is the appearance and weight of the mobile phone, or the voice assistant Xiaoying, is several times more advanced than Samsung's.

There has always been only backward technology copying advanced technology, how can there be advanced technology copying backward technology.

Xueba copied the homework of the scumbag, what is the picture?

Seeing everyone fell into silence, Jin Dayou felt a little embarrassed.

At this moment, Lee Jae-ki's secretary walked in cautiously and whispered a few words in Lee Jae-ki's ear.

Li Zaiji immediately got up and said apologetically to everyone in the conference room: "Everyone discuss first, I'll go out."

The assistant just came over and said it was a call from Apple CEO Cook.

The relationship between Samsung and Apple is one of mutual competition and mutual cooperation.

For example, Apple-designed chips are optimized and produced by Samsung.

Another example is that almost every generation of iPhone uses Samsung's storage.

Therefore, the relationship between the two parties can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words.

It is also such a relationship that the top management of both parties communicates almost exclusively at the technical and departmental levels.

This time Cook actually called in person, so there must be something to talk about.

It took Lee Jae-ki a total of 40 minutes to answer the phone.

The executives of Samsung Electronics' consumer business unit also waited for a full 40 minutes in the conference room.

Forty minutes later, Li Zaiji came to the conference room and immediately said to the executives in the conference room: "Using Jin Dayong's method, immediately contact the legal team in Europe and file a lawsuit against Hanhai Technology. We will file a lawsuit in different countries and the EU at the same time. Intellectual property and commercial litigation.”

After Li Zaiji said this, the vice president beside him was a little surprised.

"But...but our odds..."

The vice president wanted to say that the odds of winning are very low.

Li Zaiji nodded and said, "We all know what the final result will be, but we must do this, even if we make a public apology to Hanhai Technology or compensate for the loss in the end."

"But it's one of the few opportunities we have to recapture the global market."

"Just now, Mr. Cook, the CEO of Apple, called me. Apple is about to take a series of measures against Hanhai mobile phones."

After Li Zaiji said this, everyone suddenly realized.

It means that Samsung and Apple have reached a cooperation agreement in private, temporarily abandoning competition and jointly dealing with the challenges brought by Hanhai Technology.

Samsung wants to file lawsuits against Changtian Technology and Hanhai Technology in the EU and many European countries. The purpose is not to win, but to use the long judicial process in Europe to cause trouble to Hanhai Technology and cause trouble to the sales of Hanhai mobile phones.

Use this to gain time for the Apple-Samsung alliance.

At the same time, Samsung will also cooperate with Google to jointly encircle and suppress mobile phones.

On the eve of Thanksgiving 2013.

Google announced that its Gmail, weather forecast, Google browser, Google map, Google search and other applications have opened the authorized use mode.
