The launch of Kirin mobile computers has caused the entire IT industry to slump again. As long as Kirin is in stock, other brands will not be able to sell it at all.

Foreign brands are doing fine, and they still have foreign markets to support them, but domestic brands are in dire straits.

If this continues, they will go bankrupt sooner or later.

...

July 10, 2005.

As soon as Cao Mang arrived at the company, he received a call from Mr. Ni.

"Xiao Cao, you are right to seize the market with low prices, but you have to do things step by step. There are hundreds of thousands of families behind this.

When you knock down Intel, you knock down these families. I hope you can come up with a compromise to solve this problem.

I won’t say any more unnecessary words. With your intelligence, you should understand.” After finishing speaking, Mr. Ni hung up the phone.

In fact, he didn't want to make this call.

Because in this matter, he felt that instead of doing anything wrong, Cao Mang actually did something very right.

Is it wrong for Kirin to provide cheap computers to popularize computers for all people?

There is nothing wrong with this matter from any angle.

The mistake is that they don't have independent research and development of chips, so they have to look at other people's trees to enjoy the shade. Once the trees fall, they will also suffer.

It is actually very easy to solve this problem, that is, Kirin will no longer produce finished computers.

Let Qilin become their supplier, let Qilin become their new big tree, otherwise the situation cannot be reversed.

Cao Mang dialed Zhu Youfang's internal phone number.

"What's wrong, boss?" Zhu Youfang asked.

"Contact all the domestic brand computer manufacturers and tell them that I invite them to gather in Shenzhen City to solve the problems they are facing now," Cao Mang said.

"Okay." Zhu Youfang replied.

...

After receiving the invitation from Qilin Secretariat, the bosses of these companies agreed to the invitation from Cao Mang without even thinking.

Because Cao Mang controls their life and death.

To be precise, they indirectly control their life and death. Who allows them to only do assembly and not engage in independent research and development.

For a high-tech enterprise, it is safest to hold the handle of the knife in your own hands. However, if the blades held by these people are not careful, they may hurt themselves or be accidentally hurt by others.

This incident is not a typical example.

Lighthouse Country July 10, 2005.

Craig Barrett was furious after learning that Kirin was launching a so-called mobile computer.

Qi returns to Qi.

The problem is that there is nothing he can do.

The only thing that can be done is to wait for Qilin to sell out all the goods on hand.

They can return to the main battlefield again.

"No matter how great the design is, it's useless if it can't be produced." Craig Barrett murmured.

...

After Bill Gates learned of this incident, he summoned the entire legal department for a meeting.

"Is there any way we can sue Qilin for breach of contract?" Bill Gates asked.

"Boss, I'm afraid this matter is difficult because there is no standard for mobile platforms. There is no way to determine whether it is a mobile platform. China's laws are different from ours," said Ryan Clark.

Why does Ryan Clark say that?

Kirin has always claimed that this is a mobile computer when promoting it.

They wanted to bring down Cao Mang.

Then it must be proven that what Qilin sold was a desktop computer. Only in this way can Cao Mang be sued for breach of contract and developing a system for desktop computers.

But without standards, it's difficult to identify something.

You Microsoft said it is a desktop computer. We at Kirin disagree with this view. Desktop computers are all big.

You see, ours is only about the size of a palm. We put it in our pocket and take it away. This is clearly a mobile computer.

What?

You don’t agree with our argument?

Then put your desktop computer in your pocket and show me.

Just talking about this for three to five years is not a big problem.

By then the contract has expired, and even if you win, it will be of no use.

Bill Gates also frowned when he heard Ryan Clark's words.

Good guy.

You, a young man in his twenties, bullied me, a middle-aged man in his fifties.

I was careless when I was being bullied.

Since there was no way to sue Cao Mang for breach of contract, Bill Gates had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​suing.

After all, China is not his territory.

No matter how strong his dragon is, he can't suppress this local snake like Qilin.

...

July 12, 2005.

A private room at the Sunshine Hotel in Shenzhen.

All the bosses of domestic brand computers gather here.

"How do you think Qilin plans to handle this matter?"

"What else can Qilin do? Of course it is to stop selling their products, otherwise we will all have to go bankrupt."

"I think you are just daydreaming. If Qilin stopped selling, it would have been stopped before we came here."

"I believe there is always a solution. Qilin can't force us to death. What will happen to hundreds of thousands of families if something happens to us?"

"There must be a way. It just depends on what kind of method it is. As long as it's not too excessive, I think it's acceptable."

[The book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who I have known for ten years is the Changyuan app! It is so easy to use. I rely on this to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here. huanyuanapp ]

"Come here, come here, that young man should be Mr. Cao."

"I heard that Qilin's boss is very young. If nothing else happens, it should be him."

...

While all the bosses were talking about it, Cao Mang walked onto the stage.

"Hello fellow bosses, my name is Cao Mang and I am the chairman of Qilin Group." Cao Mang said with a smile.

"Mr. Cao, let's open up the skylight and speak frankly. Every day we delay, we will suffer heavy losses. I wonder what your solution is?"

"Yes, Mr. Cao, I think there is no need for you to use polite words. Let's talk about your solution."

"Mr. Cao, please tell me your plan. As long as the request is not too excessive, we can agree to your request."

...

Each of these bosses is more anxious than the last.

There is no way anyone would let this matter concern their lives and fortunes.

"Don't be anxious, everyone. The problem will definitely be solved. Before solving the problem, I want to ask you a question." Cao Mang said with a smile.

"Mr. Cao, if you have any questions, just ask them. As long as I, Zhang Tiequan, know, I will answer you word for word."

"Mr. Cao, just ask, we will answer truthfully."

"Mr. Cao, even if you ask my wife what color underwear she wears, I can answer you."

...

Although this man's answer was a bit crude, it was enough to prove his determination.

"I want to ask everyone why everyone gathered together today, and why does Qilin decide everyone's life and death? Have you ever thought about the root cause?" Cao Mang asked.

After hearing Cao Mang's words, everyone fell into silence.

Why do they gather here?

Because cheap Kirin computers have forced them to have no choice.

Why can Qilin decide their life or death?

Kirin relies on its ability to freely set prices for its products.

source?

The root cause is naturally that they cannot grasp the core things.

Some bosses figured it out.

Some bosses don't think it through.
