Global Monopoly of Technology

"The commercial positioning of Dabai Robot allows us to gain a late-mover advantage, and then the competition on this track will change from passive to active, but mastering the initiative does not mean that we can have the last laugh. It has to play its role, so after occupying the high-end customer base, we have to do everything possible to reduce costs, continue to sink and nibble competitors, and sell the cheaper the better, and we cannot be blinded by profits.”

In the conference room, Luo Sheng's methodical voice entered the ears of all the participants, and after a while he added in a deep voice: "If your competitors are not dead, you will have trouble sleeping and eating. Even if your opponents are not dead, you have to force them. We can only hang on to one life to survive. Now we are a giant company, but don’t forget the spirit of the Internet in the past ten years or so, and don’t forget how we rose.”

"That's what management guru Clayton Christensen called 'disruptive innovation'. The reason why big companies can't foresee their own disrupted destiny is precisely because they focus on doing the 'right thing' over rationality. What? What do you mean? Focus on delivering better products to the highest quality and most profitable customers, ignoring potential threats from innovative small companies, markets outside the premium market.”

Everyone in the meeting nodded silently, basically silently taking notes and recording the main points of the meeting. There was no PPT in the company's internal meetings, so they all did it by themselves.

Don't look at the high-end brand of Azure-5 smart phone in the Côte d'Azur, but the other hand holds the WOS open source operating system and extends its tentacles to major mobile phone manufacturers, whether it is Xiaomi, OPPO, Honor and even the iPhone all use the WOS system.

On the bright side, the existence of the WOS system seems to be to compete with Google's Android system. In fact, it is to control the sinking market, to ensure that there is a possibility of subverting its own existence, or it will be strangled in the cradle, or it will be Growing up, he became a member of his own system.

Both hands must be grasped, and both hands must be hard. This is Luo Sheng's awe of the market and innovation.

Bluestar Technology Group's cloud service also has a similar approach. In addition to its own Nebula Star-Cloud, it has to develop an open source cloud platform. The purpose is the same as the result of grasping both hands.

The meeting lasted about an hour and a half before it ended. The Dabai Robot related matters were basically arranged, and the specific matters did not require a super boss like Luo Sheng to do it himself.

There is still more than half a year before the product goes on sale. Wang Xuan and others have made further technical optimizations for the Dabai robot, and Yao Jianhong has also started to arrange the industrial chain to support the mass production of Dabai robots.

Everything is waiting for the arrival of the product launch in the summer of 2019, and the slogan of Dabai robot products has been set - change the world again.

...

The time has come to October.

Shencheng, a single flagship store off the azure coastline.

There is a seven-day statutory holiday in October this year, and the traffic of offline brick-and-mortar stores is significantly higher than usual.

Cote d'Azur has not released any major flagship products this year. The flagship product in the store is still Azure-5, which is not a new product since its release. In addition, other major mobile phone manufacturers have also released their flagship products this year, Azure- 5 The most prosperous sales period has passed.

But I am content. In the past year, the entire smartphone industry has been dominated by Azure-5. All major friends and businessmen are shivering, and they all choose to postpone product releases. Since this fall, major producers have sprung up to release their own products. product.

If the product is not released this year, it will really be impossible to open the pot. Naturally, the major producers are also fighting frantically. If it is delayed for another year and the Cote d'Azur releases new products, it will really be the rhythm of the end.

More monks and less flesh.

Early this morning, several middle-aged people dressed in suits and leather shoes came to this flagship store in Shencheng. When they entered the store, they found a receptionist and said a few words.

I waited and glanced aimlessly at the situation in the physical store. The current time is close to 11:00 am. There are many customers in the store, some are looking at Azure-5, some are looking at ieP tablets, or hosts, etc. product.

After a few minutes, the manager of the store went straight to a few middle-aged people and said with a smile, "Mr. Fang, why didn't you call me when you came?"

The middle-aged man named Fang Xing was his immediate boss, from the headquarters.

"There are new arrangements at the headquarters. Manager Yu, you have to arrange new shelves as soon as possible." Fang Xing said as he walked. , the vast majority of customers who come to the store do not know they are employees of the Côte d'Azur.

"Oh? Is there a new product coming out?" the store manager named Yu Jiang asked curiously.

"No surprise next summer. By the way, the venue is bigger, and the new product this time is bigger." Fang Xing nodded.

"Don't worry, there is plenty of reserved space in the store, Mr. Fang, let me show you." Yu Jiang made a gesture of invitation, and a few people followed to check it out.

It has to be said that when the flagship store was built, the generous handwriting has been a reflection of cost savings today.

Just look at the land prices and housing prices in Shanghai ten years ago. Compared with ten years ago, the value of the single flagship store itself has increased tenfold, with an average of doubling every year.

Fang Xing and his party were talking in the reserved area. The customers in the store did not know these things. After the long vacation, the reserved area began to be renovated and used.

Not only a few single flagship stores in Shencheng have people sent from the headquarters to pave the way for the Dabai robot to go on sale, but also the single flagship stores under the blue coast line all over the country.

But none of these things happened in brick-and-mortar stores abroad.

The reason is that the product needs to be approved for entry in the local market, but the company has been accelerating the pace of negotiation, but the North American market has suffered huge resistance, and the old and the United States are reluctant to allow all new products related to the Côte d’Azur. North American market.

No matter what the Côte d'Azur management said, Lao Mei's response was the same as always: Want to come in? no way! Not even a swipe!

Now you're racking your brains to figure out how to kick your old stuff out, and still want to bring new stuff in?

Don't even think about it.

Laomei's defense against the Côte d'Azur now is like a thief, which also makes Yao Jianhong very helpless. The North American market, which has the most commercial value in overseas regions, seems to be missed.

Fortunately, the market progress in the euro area is still quite good. Relatively speaking, the euro area is inseparable from Luo Sheng. Although the Asians do not want the products of these outsiders to flood their homes, there is really no good way.

If Luo Sheng pulls out all his capital investment in Ouzhou, saying goodbye to the withdrawal, the already sluggish Ouzhou economy will undoubtedly worsen. Even some big companies will be affected.

It is impossible for Europeans to freeze the local assets of the Cote d'Azur and Bluestar Technology for no reason. It has really reached this point, that is, the relationship has dropped to a freezing point. Even if the rabbit doesn't want to, it must not respond to the same level, such as freezing BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Siemens assets of European companies.
