Chapter 476 Sneaking into the night with the wind
This can also be reflected in the foreign exchange market.
After the package was announced, although the stock market experienced an epic rebound, the exchange rate market experienced violent fluctuations.
The central parity rate of the RMB against the U.S. dollar fell sharply by 156 basis points to close at 6.85 yuan, the largest drop since the exchange reform in 2005.
After that, the spot exchange price hit the "lower limit" for four consecutive trading days.
This is also the first time since the exchange rate reform.
Some wealthy people who control the "means of production" immediately realized that the devaluation of the RMB may become a long-term trend with high probability.
For ordinary people, this is a silent process, and they will not feel it immediately, but for those institutional companies with huge cash flows, the impact is much greater.
After all, cash is a single asset, and its purchasing power will continue to decline during inflation. Diversified investments must be made to protect wealth and avoid the impact of currency depreciation.
This is also the "dilemma" currently faced by Infinite Company.
Half of the net profit of more than 40 billion in the third quarter relied on overseas sales of electronic products.
Relying on the "inspired design" of Chen Weidong, a reborn person, "Dimensity mobile phones can be described as killing everyone in Europe and the United States. No one can resist the temptation brought by technological progress.
Not to mention the European and American middle class who like to try new things.
It has become a foregone conclusion that smartphones will replace traditional mobile phones.
With a price of US$3,000, you can easily buy it without gritting your teeth.
Due to the crazy shipment volume of Dimensity mobile phones, no one paid any attention to the first mobile phone "iPhone" released by Apple.
Even on the day of the scheduled press conference, several media outlets temporarily changed their plans and instead went to the nearby Infinite Company's mobile phone store to interview users who were queuing up to buy.
They have long learned about the appearance parameters of the "iPhone" from various channels.
Therefore, I really have no interest in this press conference.
For them, it would be better to shoot a few videos of the booming sales of Dimensity mobile phones, then go back and edit them, and create a sensational title like "This mobile phone brand has become the new favorite in the American market, and the president of Motorola is panicking!" to attract more attention.
In fact, their judgment was very correct.
The release of the “iPhone” did not attract market attention at all, with sales of less than 10,000 units.
Even the most ardent fans of Apple have to admit that when comparing the two mobile phones, the "iPhone" is far behind the "Dimensity" in terms of user experience and personalization.
It’s like an “old” product that is more than ten years behind the times!
The editor-in-chief of Scientific American, a well-known American technology magazine, couldn't help but lamented: "Although Steve Jobs was a genius, he is now outdated."
In words, judgments are made.
This triggered widespread discussion in the American technology community.
Some Silicon Valley technology companies also joined in the fun, saying that China's progress in application software is truly surprising.
In less than ten years, they already feel that they are beyond their reach.
All kinds of content-rich, niche and subdivided software suddenly appeared in overwhelming numbers, which was simply beyond the imagination of their "crooked" minds.
As soon as they were planning to design and develop many software, they discovered that the "same model" was already on the market.
And it was even better and more perfect than they imagined!
Using "a complete failure" to describe their embarrassing situation in application software is more appropriate.
Sunrise in the east and rain in the west.
Many people cannot relate to their pain.
Infinite Company's net profit increased significantly. After a brief discussion with Lin Zeju, Chen Weidong began to figure out how to spend the money.
The first is to give everyone in the company a collective salary increase of 10%.
This seems like a lot, but in fact, employee wages only account for a very small part of the company’s operating expenses (except for low-end manufacturing).
Not to mention financial and technology companies like them.
In fact, Chen Weidong has been consciously cultivating the "middle class". Now even the most ordinary employee of Infinite Company can earn enough to support a family of four every month.
This salary level is unique even among foreign-funded enterprises.
It doesn't matter only the researchers in the laboratory. For them, if they work on any project, the bonus after success will be much more than their salary.
There are even some researchers who are usually busy doing research and have no time to spend money, or are used to living a simple life, so they donate most of their salary and bonuses to charity organizations, such as Hope Primary School, to help poor students complete their studies.
It can be described as high-spirited and bright.
Just when everyone at Infinite Company was rejoicing that wages were rising again, Chen Weidong received a report from Li Yun: a spy had been killed near Infinite Company's large equipment manufacturing base in the mountainous area of southern Guizhou.
According to the investigation report, the killed target was named Alice.
She has blond hair tied up and a pair of deep blue eyes. When you look at her, you will feel like you are addicted to the center of the lake and can't extricate yourself.
Unlike most Western women, who have a frame as thick as a man's, Alice's figure is very slender.
It can be described as a willow slender waist, and her figure is very plump and straight, full of strength and beauty. She is definitely a rare beauty.
However, the key to Alice's ability to become an outstanding CIA spy and to complete tasks assigned by her superiors many times lies in her small waist.
Alice has been practicing Latin dance and belly dancing since she was a child. Her waist is very strong and her abdomen can move rhythmically.
This unique skill has made countless sanctimonious men fall at her feet.
Then, in her soft whisper, countless men told her everything they knew truthfully, without reservation.
Therefore, when Alice received an order from her superiors to steal Infinity Company's technology, she accepted the order without hesitation.
She knows very well that in order to steal secrets from Infinity Corporation, the CIA has lost more than a dozen moles, and three ace agents have been captured and are still in prison.
But she is confident and believes that with her own abilities, she will be able to obtain information that satisfies her superiors.
Because she has never been an agent who only relies on her body for food.
In this regard, those skills are not as good as hers, but this is not her only strength.
What she relies on mainly lies in her brain.
Although she likes to taste different men and feel them with her body, it is just a small dessert in her spare time.
When she first entered the country, she had a short and fierce "fight" with a staff member in the airport restroom.
The purpose is just to understand the status of Infinity Company in the hearts of ordinary people.
Both results satisfied her.
