Chapter 216 HTC has gone the wrong way, the high-end capital situation(1/4)
In the mainland market, a one-month delay may only increase the box office by tens of millions.
But in the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan markets where it has not been released, plus the Sin Chew market, it is not a big problem to add another 200 million in box office.
After all, movie tickets in these three places are more expensive than in the mainland.
As an investor, Wang Yifeng will have more money by then.
Of course, the most important thing is to use "Thirty-three Days of Love" and the spokesperson Ye Xiaohe to further promote Meiyu's pure desire style in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Singapore.
Further enhance the local popularity and sales of Meiyou!
After all, advertisements for Meiyou are embedded in the movie.
Ignoring all this, Wang Yi hugged Lin Shu and fell asleep.
Lin Shu curled his lips: "Yeah, don't move your hands, it's itchy."
"Let me check it for you to see if there is any lump." Wang Yi said seriously.
Lin Shu was extremely speechless: "..."
Sure enough, all boys are fans!
"That's so bad!" Lin Shu said angrily, he could only let the other party do whatever he wanted, who could be the one he liked!
Early the next morning, Wang Yi had Lin Shu's loving breakfast, rushed to the airport, and flew directly to Taiwan.
The acquisition of LTE patents is gradually progressing.
The basic CDMA patent must also be obtained!
More than three hours later, Wang Yi landed in Taiwan, and VIA had already arranged for someone to pick him up at the airport.
"Dr. Wang, if you please, our boss has booked a banquet to welcome you."
"Thank you." Wang Yi got into the car prepared by VIA.
Soon, the group arrived at the hotel.
Although it is not a five-star hotel, it is very stylish, relatively quiet, and more suitable for business negotiations.
Sitting in the room were none other than Chen Chuanqing, a man and a woman.
Seeing Wang Yi entering the door, the three of them stood up quickly. Chen Chuanqing was the first to speak:
"Boss, you are here. Let me introduce you. This is the chairman of HTC, Director Wang. This is the president of VMware, the general manager."
"Long admire!" Wang Yi looked at the woman in front of him and stretched out his hand.
Chairman of HTC, Shopkeeper Wang.
The daughter of the God of Management and the current richest man in Taiwan.
"Hello, Director Wang, we are still a family!"
HTC shopkeeper Wang smiled and stretched out his hand, his expression a little complicated.
She admired Wang Yi, was also shocked, and of course, was a little jealous...
Just looking at Meiyou’s profit speed, Cook became jealous.
As for Mr. Qiao, after leaving 4S, he has already soared on October 5th...
"We both have the surname Wang. Maybe we were really a big family five hundred years ago, haha." Wang Yi said with a smile.
"You can be a firm ally now!" Shopkeeper Wang stretched out his hand: "Quick, please take a seat. Today's arrangement is not a five-star hotel, so don't dislike it."
“The environment here is elegant and more secluded, I like it!”
It would be troublesome if he went to a five-star hotel and was noticed by the empire and was disturbed.
And this kind of secluded place is the most suitable.
In fact, many business negotiations are conducted in secret.
Including this time Wang Yi came to Taiwan, he suddenly booked a flight last night and arrived early this morning.
The main thing is speed!
By the time the empire pays attention to this matter, I'm afraid the dust has already settled!
It was a very enjoyable meal, and both parties chatted a lot during the meal.
Shopkeeper Wang was full of praise: "Director Wang is really amazing. He makes clothing, directly internationalizes, and the revenue is terrible. He makes games, and a game "Defend Pomelo" became an instant hit! Maybe you don't know that many of our female employees wear beautiful clothes.
Yuzu costumes are all playing "Defend Yuzu"!"
"Excuse me, you are really awesome. A tiger father has no dog daughter. The old man is the god of management, and you are also a woman who cannot be compared to men." Wang Yixiao said.
Shopkeeper Wang’s father is a famous business god.
A business empire built by one hand, one of the world's top 50 companies!
In 2008, he also donated 100 million to the Panda Province.
Wang Yi still respected the old man very much, but he has passed away.
However, when I arrived at Shopkeeper Wang's place, he was a little arrogant and even discriminatory towards the mainland market.
To put it bluntly, in the eyes of shopkeeper Wang, only the European and American markets are currently in his sights, and he does not look down upon the mainland market at all!
HTC's main base for mobile phones is also Europe and the United States.
This also led to HTC’s rapid decline and failure...
Shopkeeper Wang changed the topic: "I heard that Director Wang is also making mobile phones?"
"It's just a test of the waters. Whether it can succeed or not, I have to learn more from HTC."
Well, learn from HTC’s failure experience...
It took several years for Nokia to turn from prosperity to decline.
HTC is so awesome, it only took one year to turn from prosperity to decline!
In fact, the main reason for HTC's failure was that shopkeeper Wang was too arrogant, looked down on the mainland market, and focused on exploring the European and American markets.
But the European and American markets value patents!
In 2011, HTC achieved great success in the European and American markets, with global sales of 43 million units, causing major headaches for Samsung, Apple, Nokia and other giants.
As a result, Apple, Samsung, BlackBerry, Nokia and other mobile phone giants launched patent lawsuits one after another, and continued to bombard the company.
In addition, HTC has too few patents and most of its patent lawsuits have been lost...
So starting in 2012, many of HTC's best-selling models have been banned from sale in many European and American countries, and sales have dropped significantly.
The price of HTC mobile phones in the mainland market is too high.
For example, the HTC One x, which will be launched next year, was launched in the mainland a month late and is priced at 4,599 yuan, the same price as Samsung S3 and iPhone 5!
However, with the gimmick of being the world's first quad-core flagship phone, HTC One x was sold at a high price, and its sales were okay at first.
However, as the world's first quad-core processor, Tegra 3's heat generation is not as terrible as Qualcomm 810 and Xiaomi Mi 3's Tegra 4, but it is not simple either.
Wang Yi's Xingyi 1pro will work hard on heat dissipation, but HTC does not.
As a result, HTC One x was overheated, unable to compete with Samsung S3 and iPhone 5, and sales were not ideal.
In the foreign markets that we have deeply cultivated, sales have been banned by many countries due to patent issues.
In the domestic market, the prices are high, the products are not strong, and the sales are not good.
As a result, HTC's global sales dropped significantly in 2012.
Directly from the top five in the world that competed with Apple, Samsung, and Nokia in 2011, it fell out of the top ten and became a proper second echelon...
Going from mediocrity to glory requires years of struggle.
But it only takes one year to go from the top to the bottom!
Being sued by many people is also the reason why Shopkeeper Wang is in trouble right now.
If HTC retreats from the rapid trend, changes direction, and focuses on the domestic market, there is still hope of counterattack.
But it's a pity that Shopkeeper Wang chose to continue to work hard in Europe and the United States and continue to commit suicide.
In 2013, HTC NEW one, also known as HTC M7, was so stunning in appearance that it was named one of the "Top Ten Innovative Mobile Phones of the Year" by foreign media.
The classic design has been copied by many competitors, but the hardware is insufficient.
The 5-megapixel camera is outperformed by the 13-megapixel camera from Samsung S4 and other competitors.
To make matters worse, in April 2013, HTC lost the patent lawsuit with Nokia, and NEW One was banned from sale in the Netherlands.
In June, HTC was banned from selling in football countries.
In July, HTC withdrew from the Chinese market.
In August, HTC’s chief designer was arrested on suspicion of business leaks.
In October, HTC once again lost its lawsuit against Nokia, and a large number of models were banned from sale in England.
After being hammered continuously, HTC suffered a heavy setback. In 2013, HTC’s profit turned negative...
