Technology Bigshot

[Chapter 236: Great Changes in the Industry]

The two announcements made by Apple at the press conference caused great shocks in the technology circle. Among them, the mobile phone industry broke out with a magnitude 9 earthquake. The major mid- and low-end brands are almost like enemies.

At the press conference, Apple announced that its mobile phone business will shift to the low-end market after careful consideration, and announced that only its mobile phone business will fully withdraw from the Greater China market. In another piece of news, Apple subsequently announced that it will reach a cooperation intention with Matrix Technology XlouS. The xiaoU assistant of XlouS-Alpha, a subsidiary of Matrix Technology, has officially entered the major smart electronic devices on the Apple side. At the same time, the products related to xiaoU Assistant, Matrix Technology Will have 50% of the income.

After Apple's press conference, the content of the announcement quickly occupied the news page of the technology circle.

The industry has changed dramatically.

It is not an exaggeration to use this term to describe it. No one thought that Matrix Technology XlouS and Apple had fought each other some time ago, and today they have become partners in a blink of an eye.

This case once again proves to the world that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Perhaps today, the two sides are still mortal enemies. Tomorrow, it is possible that you will have your partner in me. This is the shopping mall, such an example. There are countless, but the impact between Matrix Technology and Apple is even stronger.

There is no doubt that the mobile phone industry has once again ushered in great changes. Apple's iPhone business with its xiaoU assistant to enter the low-end market is a nightmare for the original manufacturers, and the real wolf is coming.

Agence France-Presse’s media described the cooperation between the two parties very harshly. The content of the article still has a hint of gloat. The headline of the news is "Apple has become a worker of Matrix Technology". Obviously this is for the press conference. Matrix Technology took half of the benefits. Except for providing a xiaoU assistant, almost nothing was paid, but 50% of the benefits were shared. It was an extremely unfair transaction, and it was simply working for Matrix Technology.

Americans once again felt the fear of being "dominated" by Asians. Just like Japan in the 10s of the last century, the typical representative is Sony’s globalization. At that time, Japan was bought all over the world in the eyes of Europeans and Americans. Buy, buy, super rich, Sony's globalization is the representative of Japan's globalization!

Today, Sony has changed to matrix technology, and the Asians remain unchanged, and the proud Apple has become the representative of the "fallen". Unlike the wailing and anger of angry youths, Wall Street is a different scene. An article published in the headline of the "Wall Street Journal" highly praised Apple's approach. The transformation is painful, especially for the giants' transformation. And there are many difficulties, but Apple clearly overcomes these difficulties, this article appreciates Apple's courage very much.

Although a profit transaction that seems to be unacceptable to outsiders has been separated, according to Apple's current decline, failure to conclude this transaction will result in greater losses, or even decline. The content of the article emphatically pointed out that the iPhone business will bring xiaoU assistant into the low-end area. This market will not have any competitors, especially the rising mid- and low-end market led by India. Although for some reason, it is still the most dynamic. The most imaginative Greater China market may be part of the compromise in the transaction, but the entire international market still has endless room for imagination, as long as the iPhone maintains its previous glory and dominance in the high-end area in the low-end area. Not much lower, Apple Apple is still a giant.

At the same time, the article pointed out that as the xiaoU assistant fully enters the Apple side, not only will it become one of the iPhone’s weapons in the low-end area, xiaoU assistant can also have great hopes to save Apple’s declining tablet business and make it glow. The second spring. Although the impact of "S-2" will further shrink the market, it will not be too significant. "S-2" is aimed at the high-end area. Apple can fully target the mid- and low-end areas and become an industry leader. The overlord has completely become the true overlord in the low-end and mid-range areas in various businesses.

Without Matrix Technology, Apple is still the most competitive technology company in the world.

The wailing or ridicule among the media does not mean anything. The external voices of Wall Street are the real weather vane. With the news conference held by Apple, Apple’s stock has begun to increase.

Although the growth curve is not too horrible, the continuous surge in stock prices is the best proof, which shows that investors agree with Apple's decision and have high hopes.

Suddenly, a release will make the industry change drastically again. The voices of Wall Street agree that, not surprisingly, with the current trend, the matrix technology in the high-end area of ​​the industry will be the undisputed overlord, and the low-end area will also be indisputable. Dominated by Apple, and as other industry manufacturers and major brands in the low-end region, only Chinese brands will survive in the future. This is because Apple does not enter the Greater China region.

Practitioners in the industry finally discovered that the mobile phone industry that has been shopping for decades is about to enter a new pattern, and the mobile phone industry that has been shopping for the Red Sea is finally about to come to an end. Perhaps, soon, the brands in this industry will only be matrix Technology, Apple and other brands in China.

The international market will stabilize. Matrix Technology and Apple will dominate the high-end area and the low-end area respectively. The competition among major brands in Greater China will become more intense, and even foreign mid- and low-end brands will enter frantically. This natural safe haven in Greater China, because only this market is the last safe haven for all low-end brands.

But obviously, domestic brands are occupying a dominant position, and foreign brands wanting to make a fortune here are also full of difficulties, even without hope. There may be only two ways waiting for them, either transformation or bankruptcy. The third The road is too difficult.

...

Two days later, Japan.

Crypton-Future-Media. CRYPTON, abbreviated as CRYPTON, is a listed company for sound production and music production in Sapporo, Hokkaido with a current market value of US$749 million.

Matrix Technology moved very quickly, and one of its acquisition teams arrived at the company's office the day after Ren Hong gave the order.

"President! President!" At a company office in Sapporo, an assistant in a short uniform trot into Hiroyuki Ito's office.

"In a panic, do you want to be fired?" Ito Hiroyuki had a sullen face. In Japan, male chauvinism was still very serious, and the assistant suddenly apologized when he heard it.

"What's the matter?" asked Ito Hiroyuki, who is the main creator of Hatsune Miku's image and the head of the company.

"President, XlouS of Matrix Technology visited our company."

"Matrix Technology? XlouS?" Ito Hiroyuki was nothing at first, but it was only a one-second delay. His expression changed drastically, regardless of his gloomy image. Now he hurriedly asked: "Are you talking about the one from China? Super tech giant company?"

"Yes, the president. It's this company." The assistant said with absolute certainty~www.readwn.com~Are they in the company? "

"Already in the VIP room."

Without any hesitation, Hiroyuki Ito didn't even have time to respond, and immediately left his office in a hurry.

He didn't know why Matrix Technology came to visit, but no matter what the reason, as long as he carried the name "Matrix Technology", there were 10,000 reasons for him to be treated as the first priority. Hiroyuki Ito controls a large company with hundreds of millions of dollars, barely regarded as a big company, and because of Hatsune Miku's world reputation, he can be regarded as having a certain influence.

But in the face of real super giants, his little capital is nothing at all, especially for giant companies like Matrix Technology. As long as the person who comes in the name of this company, the recipient except Hiroyuki Ito is not qualified.

Hiroyuki Ito is also very puzzled. For a large group company like Matrix Technology, a subsidiary company can buy several CRYPTONs at the end of its annual and monthly revenue. How can it find itself? He was puzzled.
