Chapter 743

What struck the global media as strange was a major change in the top ranks of Apple.

The iphone5 will reject the news of Changtian Technology’s hardware.

But Changtian Technology doesn’t seem to have any movement.

Some overseas media hope to interview Changtian Technology and want to know what kind of comments Changtian Technology will make on the iPhone 5 that will no longer use Changtian Technology’s hardware.

Changtian Technology also welcomes interviews with these media.

But when answering these questions from the media, Changtian Technology was very calm, saying that every company has its own choice.

It also indicates that the cooperation between Changtian Technology and Apple is currently limited to iphone4s.

Apple has placed a large number of orders for iphone4s, and Changtian Technology has also completed this batch of orders with high quality and quantity.

The cooperation between the two parties is very pleasant.

The media could not get any useful news from Changtian Technology at all.

The reporter from The Wall Street Journal analyzed and said: “It is true that Changtian Technology’s hardware products are only a small part of the entire Changtian Technology Group, but no matter how small a small part is, the annual amount involved is as high as tens of millions of meters. Knife.”

“Wall Street Journal”: “And we believe that Changtian Technology must not only be a technology company in Xiaguo, but it must go global.”

“Wall Street Journal”: “But this time, Changtian Technology doesn’t seem to be at all cold about the news that Apple’s next-generation iPhone 5 will no longer use its own hardware, and it seems to be expected.”

Chen Xiao was not in a hurry at all.

He was still waiting for the right moment to play his first card.

And Wang Xiang and the employees within Changtian Technology would be false to say that they are not in a hurry.

As the “Wall Street Journal” said, Changtian Technology’s hardware is only a small part of the entire Changtian Technology Group.

Even if it is Changtian Technology’s hardware, it can’t sell a cent, and it will not affect everyone’s salary and year-end performance.

However, the ambition of Changtian Technology is not just a domestic technology company, but a technology company that can lead the development of national and global technology.

in this state of mind.

Some of the employees were not sure what Chen Xiao was thinking.

Therefore, in Changzezhou Changtian Science and Technology Park, many senior executives of companies, including ordinary employees, are talking about this matter.

“The boss doesn’t seem to be moved!”

“That’s right, it’s almost June, and Apple has already released rumors that the iPhone 5 will be held in September. How can I feel that President Chen is not in a hurry!”

Apple’s arrangement for new phones is generally like this –

At least 6 to 5 months before the launch event in September, the design of the phone must be finalized.

That is, the design of the iPhone 5 has taken shape at this time.

After the design of the mobile phone is formed, there are still 3 to 4 months left before the launch, and the iPhone will determine all the suppliers of mobile phone hardware and start trying to place orders.

The time point in May 2012 is very critical. During this time period, Apple has signed cooperation agreements with all its hardware suppliers.

Even a small number of orders have been signed.

At this moment, Apple’s mobile phone foundries, including Foxconn, Wistron, Jabil and other foundries, will start mass production of a new generation of iPhones.

Of course, according to these agreements between the factory and Apple, the entire production process is completely confidential.

Before the new generation of iphones officially came out.

Neither the sales store nor the media on the market can see any configuration information and appearance diagrams about the new generation of iPhones.

On the second day of the new iPhone launch conference.

Apple will decide how many phones to produce based on the media and consumer feedback after the launch.

It will even do some pre-sale testing activities on Apple’s official website to get feedback from the market.

If the market feedback is very good.

Then Apple will place more orders for suppliers and foundries to meet consumer demand.

Doing so can achieve the best balance of supply and demand, and also reduce Apple’s operating costs.

How can the employees of Changtian Technology not be in a hurry?

According to Apple’s set of operating procedures, Apple has not yet signed a supply order for iphone5 with Changtian Technology, which means that the media’s guess is correct—

The new generation of iPhone 5 indeed abandoned Changtian Technology outside the supply chain.

Some employees have great trust in Chen Xiao and also in the company.

“Changtian Technology now needs technology and technology, as well as market. The Pascal company that we cooperated with in France has not withdrawn its investment so far, and the factory is continuing to build, which is enough to show that the boss has his own ideas in his heart. .”

The employee said confidently: “We are all ordinary employees, and we can’t stand at the level of the boss, so maybe the boss has already considered some things, and we haven’t considered them yet, so don’t worry.”

This statement was also spoken, and it resonated with many colleagues.

“That’s right. When we made PC chips, we even faced the role of being used by many overseas PC companies. If we didn’t purchase our products, haven’t we made the magic ship yet?”

Chen Xiao really didn’t move until now.

But he has been letting the intelligence department of the group company collect information about Apple.

Chen Xiao currently needs two types of messages.

The first type of information is how much hardware contracts Apple and Samsung have signed.

Through the total supply price, Chen Xiao can roughly judge how many hardware Apple has ordered, and thus infer how many iPhone 5s will be produced.

But the news comes before Samsung files its financial report at the end of the year.

Samsung is under no obligation to inform you at this time.

Therefore, the media could not get the relevant information, Samsung did not take the initiative to announce it, and Chen Xiao could not get the relevant information.

Of course, Changtian Technology can completely break through Samsung’s internal network systems and servers through hacking technology to obtain relevant data.

But Chen Xiao disdain to do this.

Because of the difficulty of Changtian Technology at present, it is not worth Changtian Technology to use supercomputer technology.

The second type of information is those foundries that cooperate with Apple. Are they recruiting workers during this period?

It has been almost 10 years since Xia Guo joined the wto in 2002.

During these 10 years, the mainland has attracted a large number of factories with extremely cheap land, human resources and environmental costs.

These include Apple’s foundries, Foxconn, Wistron, and more.

It can be said that starting from the iphone4s, these foundries in the mainland are the main force in the production of iphones.

The financial information related to Samsung is not available, but whether these foundries are recruiting workers or not, and how many workers are working in them, it must be known.

Even if these factories do not disclose any information to the outside world, go to the towns or counties where these factories are located to check the recruitment information and hourly wage increases.

Go to the cafeterias of these factories and see how many people are eating.

The strategy department of Changtian Technology can basically judge how many orders the iPhone 5 has given to these factories.

Wang Xiang hurriedly found Chen Xiao, and said to Chen Xiao very excitedly: “Foxconn’s foundry has been recruiting people for the past two months, and the hourly wage has risen by as much as 15% to 20%. Many factories have made every effort to To go, it should be in the production of iPhone 5.”

“According to our spies, the canteens of many foundries are full, and the three-shift operation is implemented, and people are resting.”

There is also a cycle in the factory.

When an order is received, a large number of temporary workers will be recruited. (The cost of contract workers is very high, and they have to pay social security. In order to make money in the factory, they are unwilling to support too many contract workers)

When there is no order, the temporary workers will be dismissed, and fewer contract workers will be retained to complete the basic OEM tasks.

Wang Xiang collected the relevant information and handed it over to Chen Xiao.

Based on these materials, Chen Xiao can preliminarily determine that there are about 5 million to 7 million iPhone 5 mobile phones currently in production or have been produced.

This proves that Apple should have 10 million to 20 million phones in stock before the launch.

To guarantee these 10-20 million mobile phones, Apple must sign hardware orders with Samsung and other companies at least 1.5 times the number of mobile phones in advance.

From this point of view, there is no way to change the overall design and production of the iPhone 5.

After receiving such news, a long-lost smile appeared on Chen Xiao’s face.

In 2012, the smartphone market was in a situation of one super and many strong.

One super, of course, is Apple.

As of May 2012, the total sales of iphone4s has reached 50 million units, far exceeding the previous generation iphone4.

It is estimated that before the release of the iphone5, the sales of the iphone4s should reach 60-70 million units.

How strong are Samsung, htc, Motorola’s Android camp mobile phones, as well as BlackBerry and Nokia.

Smartphones have changed dramatically by 2012.

The ios and android camps have replaced Saipan as the mobile phone system with the largest number of users in the world.

And because Android is an open system, any mobile phone company can use the system for free after reaching an agreement with Google.

Therefore, Android has become the preferred mobile phone system for most mobile phone manufacturers.

Seeing that Apple has such crazy sales, these mobile phone manufacturers are also taking the time to optimize the Android system, organize their own hardware, and attack Apple.

In addition to feature phones, Nokia also occupies a certain market (mainly in the third world countries), and has been eliminated in the field of smart phones.

Nokia spent a lot of money and Microsoft developed the wp system, but also thunder and rain.

After the relevant mobile phone conference was held, no one was interested at all.

Last year, the Nokia mobile phone equipped with the windowsphone system sold for a year, not as much as the iphone4s sold in a week.

Therefore, Nokia intends to spin off its mobile phone business, on the one hand, to reduce debts and repay debts. On the other hand, he is really frustrated with the mobile phone business and is unwilling to invest any more.

Chen Xiao said to Wang Xiang, “You go to Finland in person now, and give Simpson a call before you go.”

Wang Xiang has some lost lakes.

A few minutes ago, everyone was talking about how many iPhones the foundry was producing.

How can Wang Xiang go to Finland in the next second?

Isn’t Finland the headquarters of Nokia, and what is Simpson doing?

Chen Xiao said to Wang Xiang: “Nokia is currently a hundred-footed bug, although it is not dead, but he has no ability to continue in the field of smartphones.”

“Currently, the valuation of Nokia’s mobile phone business by our strategic department is about 10 billion meters. You go directly to Simpson and ask Simpson to report to Nokia’s board of directors.”

“Changtian Technology is willing to give a 30% discount, which is to use 7 billion meters to fully acquire Nokia’s mobile phone business, including its own factory production line and sales channel R&D laboratory, etc.”

Chen Xiao played the first card.

“Ah?!” Wang Xiang said with some surprises: “Are we going to use Nokia as the skin to launch our own mobile phone?”

7 billion meters, which is only for Changtian Technology, which has sufficient cash flow at present.

Really nothing?

After seeing the attitude of Western consumers.

Chen Xiao also changed some strategies.

So the first card he played was Nokia.

Chen Xiao did not answer Wang Xiang’s question immediately, but played the second card immediately.

Chen Xiao smiled and said to Wang Xiang: “We can confirm that Apple will produce at least 10 million iPhone 5 mobile phones before the launch, and more than 5 million mobile phones have been successfully produced so far~www.mtlnovel.com~ Wang Xiang said with great certainty: “From the current point of view, this is indeed the case. “

Chen Xiao added: “Then do you know what network standard the iPhone 5 uses?”

This question is basic common sense. Wang Xiang doesn’t know why, but Chen Xiao still wants to ask.

Wang Xiang replied smoothly:

“It must be the 3G system. At present, most countries in the world use 3G networks.”

What Chen Xiao wanted was this answer.

Chen Xiao immediately said to Wang Xiang: “Changtian Technology’s 4G technology is mature.”

“We can officially publicly announce our 4G standard, and actively offer advice and suggestions to the country, and cooperate with many companies such as China Mobile, China Unicom, and Telecom. 4g network.”

“I think, according to Huawei’s base station construction speed, before the end of this year, it should not be a big problem for mainstream cities across the country, that is, first- and second-tier cities, to use 4G networks.”

“We expect that by the beginning of next year, 3g networks will be phased out and 4g networks will dominate.”

“At the same time, we will cooperate with Nokia to promote 4g business in Europe. I believe Huawei is very interested in building 4g base stations in Europe.”

Looking at Chen Xiao’s bright smile.

Wang Xiang suddenly realized that he was amazing!

He knew why Chen Xiao was not in a hurry at all.

He just wants to wait for Apple to start producing the 3G version of the iPhone 5 in large numbers.

Then the 3G network was directly delivered to the mainstream of the world.

When the world has entered the 4G era.

That consumers will still buy, only 3G standard iPhone5?
