Digital Life (Absolut01) - Chapter 150
[One hundred and forty-nine.]
149 Chances of Survival
When Digital Totem fully handed over the entire business of home appliances and personal smart products to Sony, a brand with great ideas in this regard, the business in this area has indeed flourished.
Sony not only has a better system in terms of design concepts, but also has a system that is much stronger than digital totem in terms of sales channels and marketing methods.
And digital totem, you can focus on technical research and large and medium-sized intelligent machinery.
This aspect is close to the core research capabilities of digital totem, and it is easy for digital totem to concentrate on development, so as not to consume energy for too scattered product lines.
The aggregation effect formed by the digital totem and Sony suddenly made those manufacturers who once stood by the digital totem in the acquisition battle, or simply stood on the side watching a good show, a little overwhelmed.
Never before has a conglomerate been so terrifying.
And Sony’s product research and marketing strategy centered on monopoly and aggression has made everyone’s hearts worry.
In terms of home appliances, the original Sony may have a large market share due to cost-effectiveness, but there will be great resistance to further expansion.
And now, if Sony wants to, it can gradually expand this share through a stable user base, and even profit margins can gradually increase due to the gradual night of this system.
Problems such as patents can naturally be bypassed. Each manufacturer can launch its own product series and launch its own system.
However, presumably there is rarely a system.
This system that can be combined with digital totem and Sony is more complete and comprehensive.
It was under such circumstances that one day, a very special invitation letter came to Lu Zhenyu.
Lin Xiaobai, the secretary, was very surprised when he saw the invitation letter.
Because she really didn’t think there would be any common language between these people and Lu Zhenyu.
Logically, they should now hate Lu Zhenyu to the core.
Perhaps due to safety considerations, Lin Xiaobai didn’t think the time was too urgent when he looked at the invitation letter.
After testing this thing first, it will be handed over to Lu Zhenyu.
For Lin Xiaobai’s innocence and caution with a bit of a spoof.
The entire president’s office laughed at her for a while.
Lu Zhenyu was also a little surprised by this invitation.
In the signature of the invitation letter, there are the names of the CEOs of the most influential manufacturers of home appliances, computers and digital products in the world.
Are they united?
If they are united then why come to find themselves again?
Applying pressure through channels is still very easy to make yourself unhappy, right?
Want to cooperate?
It seems that there is nowhere to cooperate. Now everyone’s technical system is completely different.
However, Lu Zhenyu accepted the invitation happily.
Because, this time the other party chose a good place – Iceland.
Lu Zhenyu has been running around all these years, as if he really didn’t care about this place.
With enthusiasm for travel, travel equipment and travel attitude, Lu Zhenyu came out.
At the airport, the guards who arrived earlier than Lu Zhenyu had already checked the vehicles provided by the other party and were waiting
there.
And the one waiting there was a boss-level figure.
The current marketing director of Electrolux Group, Carl ※#8226;Lancarlo.
Carl looked a little nervous.
However, after all, he was a leader of the group, and he was still personable and received Lu Zhenyu very politely.
In the car, Carl and Lu Zhenyu revealed a little about the purpose of their invitation to Lu Zhenyu this time.
They are European brands.
And Sony, and digital totem can not be said to have friendship, but also can not be said to be competitive.
However, they still see potential dangers in Sony’s marketing strategy.
As a result, these manufacturers may usually be the deadly opponents in the market, but they do not want to have a monopoly, or the possibility of a monopoly.
Maintaining a balance of power will be a win-win or even a win-win situation.
But whether this balance of power can be formed may largely lie in Lu Zhenyu.
If Lu Zhenyu hadn’t given Sony support, Miyamoto Satoru would have rebuilt Sony.
Nor dare to adopt such aggressive market tactics so blatantly and so quickly.
Not to mention the time and performance indicators of the product launch.
And propaganda strategy, so sharp and targeted.
We all know that those Japanese and Korean manufacturers, as well as some European and American manufacturers, offended Miyamoto Satoru a lot.
Miyamoto Satoru wants to find someone to start, and he doesn’t think too much about whether it will affect Chiyu.
After all, the loss of those who are affected by Chiyu in this strategy may be the gain of Sony Group.
Lu Zhenyu laughed a little.
He asked: “Your production sites are all white goods. Does it have a lot to do with it?” As representatives of so many manufacturers, the people of Eleks came to talk to Lu Zhenyu first, which was really strange.
Lu Zhenyu knew very well that Sony had absolutely no interest in entering the field of white goods, and the first products to be launched were basically OEM or even OEM by several Chinese manufacturers.
No matter how arrogant Sony is, it won’t provoke these people, right?
Carl smiled and said, “It’s not exactly what I think has anything to do with it. In addition to being a little nervous about the expansion of this system, I personally think this is a good standard. If this standard can be used by us, it will also be used by other manufacturers. Opening up can push the entire market to a higher level.”
Lu Zhenyu nodded and said, “That shouldn’t be a problem, why don’t you talk to Mr. Miyamoto yourself about this?”
Carl said sternly: “Because, if the bosses who already have a lot of brands start to get nervous, if we rashly make this move and don’t keep the same, the life will not be easy in the future. Although everyone is fair competition, but , huh, you understand.” Then, Carl laughed, loosened his tight body, and said, “I’m not a person who likes to fight with others, I like to see progress, even if it comes from my opponent. .”
Carl’s frankness makes Lu Zhenyu very fond of, if this guy comes up with a cliché, then Lu Zhenyu may draw a lot of things into the scope of chips.
Have a good chat with these manufacturers at this gathering.
But, not now.
What do you say, this is the best situation.
Before arriving at the hotel, Lu Zhenyu suddenly said to Carl: “Mr. Carl, please tell the gentlemen who invited me here this time. I am here this time to relax. We have no intention of monopolizing, nor do we want to compete with the entire industry. .The home smart terminal will be an open system. But, how to open it? It seems that I should talk to Mr. Miyamoto. … This time I brought a lot of wolf warriors. Are you interested in joining us tomorrow? How about a run around this place? There should be a lot of fun places around here, right?”
Carl’s eyes lit up and he quickly said, “Thank you very much for your invitation, I’ll go tell everyone.” At this time, the car just stopped at the entrance of the hotel.
In this way, the tense negotiation that might have appeared instantly disappeared.
In the next few days, it can be said that the guests and the host enjoyed themselves.
There is nothing dissatisfied with everyone.
Miyamoto Satoru was a little dissatisfied. He didn’t understand why Lu Zhenyu had promised him to let him take revenge, but he changed his mind so quickly?
Lu Zhenyu only said one sentence: “The technical standard is in your hands. Who do you like to authorize, or who you don’t authorize, that is your freedom. The technical standard is orthodox, what are you afraid of? There
is more than one way.”
Miyamoto Satoru was a smart man, he understood Lu Zhenyu’s idea in an instant, and happily went to discuss the establishment and authorization of technical standards with the representatives of those manufacturers.
Indeed, those who hold the standard are more ruthless than anyone else.
After Lu Zhenyu returned to Shanghai, he saw that it was Yue Yu.
Chen Ning, Qingqing and Andy jointly investigated a report.
This is something only they can investigate together.
They compiled all the news about industry, technology, materials, etc. around the world in the past few years, combined with Andy’s understanding of the way of doing things and the habits of extreme justice organizations.
Events they believe may be related to extremist groups are singled out.
Since the factory of extreme justice was destroyed in the UK, many of their confidential documents have flowed into the hands of China, and gradually and selectively spread through China’s diplomatic channels, the life of the extreme justice organization is very difficult.
their techno-terrorism.
There is no doubt that there is a great conflict with the policies of various countries.
However, the technology in their hands.
But they are coveted by governments of various countries, and they are still terrorist organizations, and they do not have much background support. As long as they are defeated, those technologies can fall into their hands.
The idea is especially appealing.
The pursuit and destruction of Ultra Justice has never stopped. Even when Ultra Justice sold the counterfeit technology of the spider platform, they took huge risks and used extremely complicated methods to get rid of their tracking by governments of various countries. Only let their understanding stay at a relatively superficial level.
Then, they made full use of the funds, carried out extremely complex business activities, and transferred assets, technologies and bases.
Maybe, for many people, the opening and closing of some small factories, the establishment and closure of some small research institutes, the establishment and closure of foundations, or the disappearance of some products and the disappearance of some service systems are just normal. Commercial acts or commercial frauds, but for those who purposefully organize various materials together and can give analysis and speculation, there may be deeper meanings behind these ordinary acts.
And this time, that’s it.
Extreme justice groups have dived deeper underground, but they still have to make money for their own organization through the surface to maintain the operation of the entire organization.
They also have to organize all kinds of activities, prove their existence to get attention, and sponsorship from some brain-dead rich people.
They also have to sell their own technology, products and services through some channels… these will be clues.
Andy, after seeing enough clues, decided that he would come out again.
“Boss,” Andy now calls Lu Zhenyu. These days, he has not only experienced an extremely comfortable life, but also received a very generous remuneration from Lu Zhenyu for his work.
The purse, which had been shriveled because of the pursuit of extreme justice for many years, was rarely bulging.
“I’m going out again. I’ve had enough rest, I think I should go out before I forget what I want to avenge.”
“I read your investigation report, the extreme justice organization is so scattered now, you Can you find the object of your revenge?” Lu Zhenyu asked.
“Anyway, that’s what I originally did. Before I kill the right person, I will fight the extreme justice organization indiscriminately. Either I die, or sooner or later I will kill the person I want to kill. … Or, I can kill them. It’s best to force yourself to hand over that person.” Andy said, stroking his slightly longer head.
“We don’t compromise with the terrorists, so why should the terrorists compromise with us?” Lu Zhenyu hummed contemptuously and said, “Anyway, I guess you have to keep fighting and killing people at ease.”
“It doesn’t matter, anyway, I have long ago Get used to it,” Andy said.
There was indeed a look of indifference on his face.
Lu Zhenyu said, “Just tell me what you need. At least now, your general direction is the same as mine.”
As if waiting for Lu Zhenyu’s words, Andy put a list in front of Lu Zhenyu .
“Haha, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com you really dare to speak.” Lu Zhenyu said with a smile.
The equipment and auxiliary items on the list add up to a lot of money, but compared to Andy’s contribution to the digital totem, these are not excessive.
Andy didn’t stay in Shanghai much, got the equipment, and after checking and getting familiar with it, he summoned his friends who lived in the shadows and on the edge.
Most of them are also some mercenaries and outlaws.
Then, they went out.
Andy now is very different from the past.
At least, the resources he can master are no longer just the few friends he has accumulated over the years, and the channels he needs for weapons and other aspects, but the digital totem and the partial support of the family behind Chen Ning. .
Lv Zhenyu allowed Andy to obtain the necessary funds and spare parts, as well as the supply of technical equipment in any digital totem branch in the world.
And Chen Ning gave Andy several contact information.
These people can give Andy some help at critical moments, and these people are completely reliable.
These supports were not given to Andy for nothing.
For Lu Zhenyu and Chen Ning, helping Andy is also an investment.
The return on this kind of investment is that the extreme justice organization will gradually be weakened and even disappear, and it will no longer be able to threaten Lu Zhenyu, Chen Ning and the people around them, and will no longer be able to threaten the digital totem.
