Homecoming of Rebirth

It's not that they don't understand what "the only one" means. If Sanshi sends it out in advance, and other companies don't have any unique tricks, then it's basically cool.The smart phone market is monopolized by the Sanshi family, isn't that the only one?

Qi Lei, "Number one, it's too ostentatious, you'll die fast!"

"Second, our goal is the high-end market. Even if we target some ordinary consumers in the future, it will be enough to feed us, and there is no need to be a beacon."

"Third, for consumers and ourselves, being unique is definitely not a good thing."

Sam fell into deep thought, and nodded after a long time, thinking it through, "I have to say, Qi, you have a lot of ideas."

There is an old Chinese saying that goes, "It's too cold to be at a high place."Sam believes that Qi Lei should be well versed in the way of hiding his clumsiness, he doesn't want to make too much publicity, he just wants to make a fortune silently.

Anyway, Sam admires it very much. It is not easy to resist temptation with such a high strategic vision.

As everyone knows, with fart's strategic vision, the reason why Qi Lei doesn't want to be the only one is because he has seen the only one in the mobile phone industry in later generations.

Beat HW down, then what?Everyone is messed up, and consumers are the ones who are hurt.

In his previous life, Qi Lei suffered as a consumer. He used a Mate30 for nearly four years.

I have lost my expectation and desire for new mobile phones, because they are all similar.

In the end, back in the past, Qi Lei also played like this?

You can't do that, it's not in line with Qi Lei's heart.Although it is cool and relieved, it is ordinary consumers who are injured.

Although many people don't know where they are injured.

"Just April [-]st!"

Qi Lei finally said: "We can also allow more time for testing and make the product better."

"Yeah." Sam responded in a muffled voice, curling his lips indifferently.

But a doubt arises in his heart, if Qi Lei thinks this way, will others think the same way?

……

※※※

New York, EDN headquarters.

Adams locked himself in the office for half a month.

At this moment, a pair of bloodshot eyes were staring at a list.

Yang Xiao...

Xu Qian...

Wu Ning...

Tang Yi...

Paulson...

Pete Vin...

Gerald Merlin...

Christine Merlin (Chen Wenjie)...

Sam Brown...

Bill Gates, Kroger, Jobs...

Gene Sharp...

These are all people who are related to Qi Lei, whether they are friends, business partners, or rivals, they are all on this piece of paper.

Just staring at this long list, Adams has been staring at it for more than an hour.

Suddenly, Baker opened the door and came in, came to Adams, couldn't help laughing jokingly.

"Adams, why do I feel that you are more emotional than me now? Do you have to compete with that Chinese?"

Adams didn't answer either, and continued his deduction that he had repeated countless times.

"Yang Xiao, Xu Qian, Wu Ning, Tang Yi..."

Baker already knew the answer, "Don't think about it, the relationship between these four and Qi Lei is like you and me, you can't find any breakthrough. Until the last moment, you can't use these people."

Adams was in trouble, "Then Merlin and his son? And Sam Brown?"

Baker curled his lips, "It's hard! Needless to say, Paulson, you can't touch him. We don't know whether the father and son have any interests with Qi Lei. As for Sam, are you going to China to investigate? ?”

I saw Adams crossing out the names of Yang Xiao, Xu Qian, Mo Lin and his son, and Sam.

In the end, only Bill, the founder of Microsoft, Claug, the president of Intel, and Jobs of Apple were left.

Baker was a little confused this time, "They are all Qi Lei's opponents, what's the use of you staying?"

Adams shook his head, "No, no, no, opponents are more useful."

Looking at the computer screen, it was "Student T" from the Penguin community.

"Now, they seem to be at a disadvantage in front of Sanshi, I think they should be willing to deal with that guy with me?"

Qi Lei's opponent has funds and contacts, which are very useful to Adams.

If it is used well, it can even influence the decision-making of the upper management.

At that time, it will not be so troublesome.Just like how we dealt with Sony and Samsung back then, this trouble can be dealt with by just finding an excuse.

Baker was speechless and had to remind Adams, "Don't forget, what Charles Koch told us. He only allowed you to conduct some limited investigations on Qi Lei, just in case, and didn't authorize you too much action."

Charles Koch, the man Adams had seen the last time he was at the grove in Washington.

how to say?If you think that, in the United States, the House of B is the largest in charge, then you are very wrong.

The power that really controls the United States is the power behind it, and Charlie Koch and his brother David Koch are undoubtedly one of them.

Let's put it this way, the Koch Brothers are an energy giant in the United States, and they control the "Cato Institute", one of the top think tanks in the United States, which can influence the media and political opinions across the country.

Since the 70s, countless foundations, political organizations, and policy organizations have been fully controlled and funded by them.

Attention, there are countless!

Including, EDN Foundation for Democracy.

Some people may think that there is no use in funding these organizations, and there are no officials.

wrong!In fact, they are officials everywhere.

The political system in the United States is different from ours. Do you really think that electoral politics is in accordance with the will of the people?

In fact, from congressmen to officials in the United States, in a sense, all come from these foundations, political organizations, and policy organizations.

Take the EDN Democracy Foundation as an example. Do you think it really studies how to be democratic and how to be free?

A foundation generally consists of three parts:

One is to manage money, and there is a dedicated team to operate funds in and out.

The second is Adams, Baker, etc., who belong to work.

The third is those former officials, current officials and reserve officers.

To put it bluntly, this is a circle, a circle of interests.As for the circle controlled by the Koch brothers, perhaps only they themselves know how many there are.

They are the real masters behind the scenes.

"The Koch family doesn't want us to touch that Chinese."

"Even Palace B doesn't want to see Qi Lei fall, especially in the hands of EDN!"

"So, Adams, wake up!"

Adams looked up, looked at Baker coldly, and suddenly opened the drawer. There was an envelope inside, and there was $3264.99 in the envelope.

This money was given to him by Qi Lei last time.

Well, didn't Adams meet Qi Lei last time, and Qi Lei gave him this envelope, which contained the money.

At that time, Adams didn't know what it meant, so he came back to check and found out that the discounted air ticket from New York to China's Magic City that day happened to be 3264.99 US dollars.

What do you mean?

This is to tell Adams that if he finds fault again, let him follow in Sharp's footsteps and go to China for a master-student reunion!

The angry Adams didn't eat for several days.

Now it's completely against Qi Lei, that's the reason.

"I'm going to take that bastard down, he's insulting me!"

Baker: "..."

Baker wanted to say that there was nothing wrong with it, he really wanted to take care of Sharp's old age.

……

Chapter 617 Not Enough Level

Baker was a little proud and said I was a reckless man, so what now?Adams was even more irrational than he was.

And Adams was still staring at the list closely. The reason why he crossed out the other options was because Adams found a problem.

Maybe... the breakthrough really lies in Bill, Klaug, and Jobs.

Judging from the current situation, Sanshi Mobile can be said to have won.

Technically, it is a forerunner.

Judging from the main selling points disclosed by Qi Lei, other manufacturers can only follow Sanshi's ass and have to imitate.

And from a marketing point of view, Sanshi mobile phone is undoubtedly the big winner.

With Qi Lei, the master of communication, playing in person, the other opponents have no chance of winning.

To be honest, this seems to be an unsolvable situation, which is very beneficial to Sanshi.

However, it is only "seemingly".

Before the official listing, no one knows who the final winner is.What's more, Qi Lei's means of creating publicity is indeed very clever.

However, China's semiconductor industry is also backward.

As for Sanshi, which is based in China, it is still at a disadvantage in this respect. Adams doesn't think that Qi Lei is sure of winning.

He raised his head suddenly, "Baker, help me book a plane ticket to California. Also, check again, does Paulson have any public itinerary recently?"

Baker frowned, "Going to California?"

This is easy to understand. Adams kept those opponents of Qi Lei on the list, so it is very reasonable for him to go to Silicon Valley to look for opportunities.

But what's the point of checking Paulson's itinerary?That guy and Qi Lei are wearing a pair of pants.

In this regard, Adams shook his head, "They just share the same interests. Paulson's old fox will not wear the same pants with a Chinese."

Adams had an intuition that he must have gained something from Paulson.

This idea seems a bit naive, but it is not impossible.

In fact, one thing that Paulson is struggling with right now is the price!

Before Qi Lei told him about the listing price of the Sanshi mobile phone, Paulson didn't say anything at that time, and thought that the high profit margin was a good thing.

However, with the determination of the mass-produced model, he also got the most accurate cost accounting report.

how to say?

Now Paulson changed his mind again, he felt that Qi Lei set the price high.

"Why insist on a price of US$749 to US$949? Our cost is not much higher than that of our peers, and we can join the competition of US$500-600. At that time, none of them can compete with us!"

Yes, Paulson and Sam have the same idea at this time, he doesn't want to be the first, he wants to be the only one.

It is the greed of the capitalists, and it is also due to considerations that are completely different from Qi Lei's position.

Don't forget, Qi Lei just wants to take the opportunity to develop China's semiconductor industry.As for Paulson, he wanted to use the Sanshi mobile phone to completely defeat the threat from Silicon Valley.

"Qi, I think your pricing is very inappropriate, we need a beautiful victory to defeat the opponent!"

And Qi Lei's answer was similar to sending Sam back then, he just wanted to be the first, not the only one.
