Technology Bigshot Chapter 236: ：Industry changes]
【Chapter 6: Great Changes in the Industry】
Apple's two announcements at the press conference caused a big shock in the technology circle. Among them, the mobile phone industry was hit by a magnitude 9 earthquake, and the major mid-to-low-end brands were almost like enemies.
At the press conference, Apple announced that its mobile phone business would shift to the mid-to-low-end market after careful consideration, and announced that only its mobile phone business would completely withdraw from the Greater China market. In another piece of news, Apple subsequently announced that it would reach a cooperation intention with Matrix Technology xlous. The iaou assistant of xlous-alpha, a subsidiary of Matrix Technology, officially settled in major smart electronic devices on the Apple side. At the same time, the products involved in the iaou assistant, Matrix Technology will have a 50% return.
After Apple's press conference, the content of the announcement quickly took over the news pages of the tech world.
The industry is changing dramatically.
It is no exaggeration to use this term to describe it. No one would have thought that the 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 is no permanent enemy, only eternal interests. Maybe today the two sides are still mortal enemies, and tomorrow may be your partner. This is the shopping mall. There are countless such examples, but the impact on the world between Matrix Technology and Apple is stronger.
There is no doubt that the mobile phone industry has once again ushered in great changes. Apple's iphone business and iaou assistants have entered the low-end market, which is a nightmare for the original manufacturers. The real wolf is here.
The media of AFP described the cooperation between the two sides very meanly, and the content of the article also had a taste of schadenfreude. The headline of the news was "Apple has become a working man of Matrix Technology", which is obviously a response to At the press conference, Matrix Technology took half of the benefits from it. Except for providing an iaou assistant, it paid almost nothing, but it took away 50% of the benefits. No matter how you look at it, it is an extremely unfair transaction. It is simply for the matrix. Technology work.
Americans once again felt the fear of being "dominated" by Asians. Just like Japan in the 1910s, the typical representative was Sony's globalization. At that time, Japan was seen by Europeans and Americans. It is buying and buying all over the world, super rich, Sony's globalization is the representative of Japan's globalization!
Now, Sony has been replaced by Matrix Technology, and the same is still Asian. The proud apple has become the representative of "Occupied". Different from the mourning and anger of angry youths, Wall Street is a different scene. An article published on the headline of the "Wall Street Journal" highly praised Apple's approach. Transformation is painful, especially for giants. The transformation is not only painful. And there are many difficulties, but Apple has clearly overcome these difficulties, and this article appreciates Apple's courage.
Although a profit transaction that is unacceptable to outsiders seems to be divided, according to Apple's current decline, if this transaction is not concluded, it will lose even more, or even decline. The content of the article emphasizes that the iphone business will bring iaou assistants to the low-end area, and this market will have no competitors, especially the rising middle and low-end market led by India, although for some unknown reason it has given up the most dynamic market. The most imaginative Greater China market may be part of a compromise in the transaction, but the entire international market still has infinite room for imagination. As long as the iPhone maintains its former glory in the mid-to-low-end area in the high-end area, its dominant position and benefits Not much lower, Apple is still a giant.
At the same time, the article pointed out that with the full entry of the iaou assistant on the Apple side, it will not only become one of the sharp weapons of the iphone in the low-end area, but the iaou assistant will also have great hope to save the declining tablet business of apple. Make it a second spring. Although the impact of "s-2" will further shrink this market, it will not be too significant. "s-2" is aimed at the high-end area. Apple can completely focus on the middle and low-end areas and become a leader in the industry. The hegemon has completely become the real hegemon in the low-end area in various businesses.
Excluding Matrix Technology, Apple is still one of the most competitive technology companies in the world.
The mourning or ridicule among the media does not mean anything. The sound from Wall Street is the real weather vane. With Apple holding a press conference, as soon as the news came out, Apple's stock began to rise. trend.
Although the growth curve is not too terrifying, the continuous surge in the stock price is the best proof, which shows that investors agree with Apple's decision and have high hopes.
In a trance, a press conference made the industry change once again. The voices of Wall Street agreed that, not surprisingly, with the existing trend, the matrix technology in the high-end area of the industry will be the undisputed overlord, and the low-end The region is bound to be dominated by Apple, and as other industry manufacturers and major brands in the mid-to-low-end region, I am afraid that only Chinese brands will survive in the future. This is because Apple does not enter the Greater China region.
Industry practitioners have finally discovered that the mobile phone industry, which has been shopping for decades, is about to enter a new pattern, and the mobile phone industry that has been shopping for a red sea will finally have its end. There will be only Matrix Technology, Apple, and other brands in China.
The international market will become more stable, 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 be more intense, and even foreign mid- and low-end brands will Crazy to enter the natural safe haven of Greater China, because only this market is the last safe haven for all low-end brands.
But obviously, domestic brands are in a dominant position, and foreign brands want to make a big presence here. The third way is too difficult.
……
Two days later, Japan.
crypton-future-media. Crypton for short, is a sound production and music production listed company located in Sapporo, Hokkaido, with a current market value of $749 million.
Matrix Technology's actions were very fast. The day after Ren Hong's instructions, one of its acquisition teams arrived at the company's office.
"President! President!" In a company office in Sapporo, an assistant in a super short uniform trotted into Hiroyuki Ito's office.
"You're in a panic, do you want to be fired?" Ito Hiroyuki's face was gloomy. In Japan, male chauvinism is still very serious, and the assistant immediately apologized.
"What's the matter?" asked Hiroyuki Ito, the main creator of Hatsune Miku's image and the head of the company.
"President, Matrix Technology xlous visited our company."
"Matrix technology? xlous?" Ito Hiroyuki was nothing at first, but it was only a second of dullness. His expression changed dramatically, and regardless of his gaffe image, he hurriedly asked: "Are you talking about that house? A super tech giant from China?"
"Yes, President. It is this company." The assistant said with great certainty.
"Did they come to the company?"
"Already in the lounge."
Ito Hiroyuki didn't hesitate, didn't even have time to respond, and left his office in a hurry.
He doesn't know the reason for Matrix Technology's visit, but no matter what the reason is, as long as it carries the name "Matrix Technology", there are 10,000 reasons for him to be treated as the first priority. Hiroyuki Ito masters a large company with hundreds of millions of dollars, which is barely a big company, and he is also world-renowned for Hatsune Miku, which is considered a certain influence.
But in the face of a real super giant, his capital is nothing at all, especially for a giant company like Matrix Technology, as long as the person who comes is in the name of this company, the host will be everyone except Ito Hiroyuki. not qualified.
Ito Hiroyuki is also very puzzled. For a large group company like Matrix Technology, the mantissa of a subsidiary's annual and monthly revenue and profit can buy several cryptons. How can they find themselves? He was puzzled.
