Rewrite the Technological Landscape

At this time, Apple is infinitely close to a pure assembly company, and the recent problems in the global supply chain will naturally make an American assembly company in trouble. At this time, Samsung, LG, Sony and other brands have begun to exert their strength again. .

As Krzanik knew, recently more and more companies from the Neon and Korea countries have sent people, or even a whole team, to the United States. After seeing the overall situation, I want to try the muddy waters of the US market.

Constrained by too many factors, they still haven't made a decisive decision after learning more and more information. They need to further confirm some things. For Sony and Samsung, the US market is the easiest to test now. It is no different from the smartphone market in the United States.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that things would develop so smoothly.

"What's going on?" Kazuo Hirai immediately called the team leader sent to the United States.

"Apple's situation is much worse than we imagined. Judging from the information we have obtained these days, Apple has been forced to survive in the cracks under the suppression of Chinese companies over the years. This time Cook's initiative The resignation has brought a certain blow to Apple.

Coincidentally, Apple's new CEO is a technology savvy, but this time Apple encountered a problem in the global supply chain. We made an effort at this time to directly force the high debt problem that Apple had been hiding before. exposed. "

"Then what is the reaction of the market in the United States now?"

"The U.S. market has been gradually weeding out Apple. Once the huge debts come out this time, I am afraid that Apple will really be unable to recover."

Kazuo Hirai could still see it clearly, "So Apple has already been pushed to the limit by Huaxia Enterprises long ago, and we just... made up for the last knife."

"It can be said that, but we have discovered many interesting phenomena in the past few days. For example, a group of companies in the United States are in the new global supply chain ecology, and our branch in the United States can directly pass the information of the United States. The platform is very convenient to connect with this new ecology, which we did not expect at all before.

I always thought that Dafeng Group had left the US market long ago, but this is not the case. "

"Yeah, there are too many unexpected things." Kazuo Hirai hesitated to speak, "You guys continue to observe for a while."

After hanging up the phone, Kazuo Hirai fell into deep thought, and just as he was thinking deeply, three new pieces of news came to his mobile phone: "Tesla New Car Bounced Again", "Tesla Self-Driving No Longer Accident”, “Tesla’s Ratings Dropped Again by Many Agencies”.

Driven by doubts in his heart, Kazuo Hirai took some time to understand Tesla's situation, and soon noticed that Toyota and Volkswagen were behind this matter.

When Sony and Samsung went to the United States to test the water, Toyota and Volkswagen also went, and their test target was Tesla.

For a long time, Musk has been committed to marketing Tesla as a high-tech company by using his strong hype ability and backed by NASA. However, hard power is something that cannot be marketed after all.

As long as you are willing to step through the fog of Tesla's gorgeous exterior and take a look, you can see what Tesla really looks like.

Take unmanned driving as an example, Musk has boasted about his own unmanned driving technology from time to time, but comparing the four dimensions of R\u0026D investment, R\u0026D team, R\u0026D results, and R\u0026D results contribution, you will find that Microsoft, Google Dafeng Group Yinghai Companies such as Wibado Toyota have completely beaten Tesla. Of course, now that Google has been acquired by Microsoft, even GM and Ford have published more papers in the field of autonomous driving than Tesla every year.

But under such real data, Musk has always claimed that Tesla's driverless technology ranks among the top three in the world, no matter in which time and space.

In addition to Musk's marketing ability, there is another advantage of Tesla, which is that Tesla's vehicle manufacturing ability does have an advantage in the era of driverless driving.

But in this time and space, everything has changed.

Yinghaiwei has become a leader in the field of Internet vehicle manufacturing. More importantly, Dafeng Group and Yinghaiwei have established a new automobile alliance with German companies and neon enterprises. Thanks to this alliance, Yinghaiwei's automobile manufacturing The ability has been widening the gap with Tesla, and companies such as Toyota and Volkswagen have further demonstrated their competitiveness in the new era.

This time, the first thing Toyota and Volkswagen did in the United States was to invest in the mass production of driverless cars. As for the core hardware, under the new global supply chain ecology, naturally there is no need to be directly linked with Dafeng Group and Yinghaiwei, and it can go smoothly. Enter the US market.

The two major car companies entered the U.S. market with a high profile, impacting GM, Ford, Tesla and other U.S. car companies. As a result, Tesla was the fastest to get into trouble, because the old supply chain had problems, and Tesla's production line was in trouble. The ability had to be discounted, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and Tesla’s driverless technology was once again exposed to major loopholes, which led to a sharp drop in Tesla’s reservations, another decline in word-of-mouth, and further capital flight.

Tesla, at an impasse.

After learning about Tesla's situation, Kazuo Hirai suddenly asked Akio Toyoda to have dinner together.

"Zhang Nan, Apple and Tesla have had accidents recently. Do you think this is a bit strange?"

"What do you mean by strange?" Akio Toyoda asked.

"To put it bluntly, whether it is Apple or Tesla, they are already on the verge of death. We just pushed them, but at this juncture, it is of strategic significance to push these two companies into the abyss. .

It can be said that Apple and Tesla's desperate situation at this time is sending a signal to the world. This signal will greatly affect the pressure on Chinese companies in the United States.

And now I have a strong premonition that more American companies may be pushed into the abyss in the future. The key is that even if it is the last moment, it is us who push them down. "

Akio Toyoda smiled at Kazuo Hirai, "It should be said that Dafeng Group can't enter the US market at all, nor can it intervene in the US market, so they can only rely on other people to deal the final blow to US companies. , As a result, our companies took the initiative to help Dafeng Group with this matter, and our purpose was to verify the new rules led by Dafeng Group."

Kazuo Hirai couldn't laugh, "So you're actually aware of this problem."

"I believe that besides you and me, there will be more, and more and more people will understand these things."

Kazuo Hirai squeezed his fingers, "Then we have become Meng Qian's pawns."

Akio Toyoda's expression became serious, "Sony has been cooperating with Dafeng Group for too long, and it may be so long that Sony may not be able to figure out what kind of relationship with Dafeng Group to get along with.

But in my opinion, Sony has actually been Meng Qian's pawn for countless times. "

Kazuo Hirai showed displeasure, and Akio Toyoda continued, "But think about it again, hasn't Sony benefited? You should know better than me, an outsider, how much Sony has gained through the cooperation with Dafeng Group.

Hirai, do you think professional managers are pawns of the board of directors? Is the management of the company considered a pawn of the company? Are the employees of the company considered pawns of the leadership?

A lot of things depend on how you look at it.

Now the world pattern is going through a big change. This is a big chess game about the world. It is precisely because I realize that I have become Meng Qian’s pawn unconsciously. There must be a strong chess player to manage the game, otherwise everyone will be dragged into a maelstrom.

In this way, Meng Qian made me reaffirm his overall control ability.

And what I pay attention to is precisely what Mr. Inamori Kazuo said, our own strength.

Whether we can be stronger under the new rules, my answer is yes, then, I hope Meng Qian can control my pawn well. "

Kazuo Hirai looked at Akio Toyoda in surprise, and after a long time he was ashamed, "It's because I'm too small. Come on, I respect you."
