Chapter 255 The red letter is a threat
"I have discussed all three telecom operators. Sprint-nextel is most keen on introducing our products. At&T and Veriazon are also willing to cooperate, but they also say that the policy is unclear and we still need to wait for the notice from the US Federal Communications Commission." print-nextel, the Chinese name Sprint, is now the third-ranked telecom operator in the United States, with a market value of about 26 billion US dollars. In it, it is Veriazon, the second-ranked operator, with a market value of nearly 200 billion US dollars, and the first at&T (AT&T) has a market value of 230 billion US dollars.
The situation in the US mobile phone market is completely different from that in China. Chinese people buy mobile phones first and then choose which operator to choose. Americans are used to buying the operator's products directly. Operators occupy more than 90% of the market. Without the support of the operator, there is no need to talk about sales of mobile phones.
Lu Zixin frowned and said, "It seems that it's useless to find any operator for this matter."
In fact, before Hongxin was ready to enter the US market, American telecom operators had already come to the door to ask for cooperation. The market potential of Hongxin smart products is obvious to all, and the Chinese market and island market have fully proved this.
For telecom operators, no matter what mobile phone they sell, they can make money, so they are naturally very happy.
But for the US market, the entry of Hongxin Group is completely at another level.
Su Zhirong nodded and analyzed: "If our products enter the US market, it will definitely have a huge impact on the US market. First of all, it is the mobile phone industry. The profits generated by Apple alone in the United States are higher than the tax revenues of some countries in a year!"
"If Apple and other mobile phone companies are also defeated by us in the US market, the US economic system will be greatly affected. There are also companies such as mobile phone chips, Qualcomm, Broadcom, and intelligent services that impact Google, Microsoft..."
"Our products and services involve almost half of the Internet industry, and behind these companies are large American capitalists and politicians, who are definitely not happy to see Hongxin enter the US market."
Su Zhirong has not mentioned the problem to the most serious. For consumers, it is nothing more than a problem of choosing one more phone.
But now the influence of Hongxin Group is no longer a problem with mobile phones, but a problem related to the entire US economy!
How much influence is large companies? Companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Samsung even surpass many countries in the ranking of world economies!
That’s right, the influence of large companies in economic behavior is stronger than that of many countries!
Apple's annual iPhone sales account for about 0.3% of the GDP of the United States. For example, after Apple announced that it would gradually transfer more than 200 billion US dollars overseas to the US market, the US president even immediately called Apple's president Kuke, for his contribution to the US economy.
Samsung Group's annual turnover accounts for 20% of the entire GDP in Goryeo. Its revenue is related to the economic development of the entire country, ranking among the top 50 economies in the world... and so on.
If Hongxin was as invincible as the island market in the United States, the impact would be immeasurable, and Wall Street capitalists might line up to jump off the building.
In view of these, the big American capitalists and government officials are vigilant towards Hongxin Group and dare not let Hongxin enter the US market easily.
Su Zhirong asked tentatively: "Or why don't we put down the US market for the time being and explore the European market?"
Lu Zixin thought for a while and said, "Red Xin now only has some influence in China and surrounding areas. If you want to deploy the world, you must enter the North American market. The United States and Canada are the two most important countries in the North American market. The attitude of the US market towards us also represents the attitude of the Canadian market."
"I'll think about this matter again."
Lu Zixin didn't want to compromise so simply. Americans were afraid that they would impact the high-tech industry in the United States and wanted to protect their own enterprises and markets. Do they only allow them to make money all over the world?
But the actual situation is very complicated. The United States is no better than China. In China, Hongxin is a domestic enterprise and is protected by its own policies. But when we arrive in the United States, they are foreign enterprises that are extremely threatening and are excluded in terms of policies.
Of course, this situation is unique to Hongxin Group. Because other companies enter the US market, they have no competitiveness in technology and the market and can easily pass the review. Only Hongxin is the leader in technology and has completely different natures.
...
In the past few days, Lu Zixin has specially approved a new procurement plan, preparing to purchase a total of 15 private small business aircraft from two aircraft companies at a time, with an estimated purchase amount of 1 billion yuan.
The most expensive thing is that Lu Zixin prepared a Gulfstream private jet for himself, with a price of about 250 million Huaxia coins, and the rest are business jets arranged for company executives to facilitate their travel.
This price is not a top luxury aircraft, mainly because Lu Zixin is reluctant to spend more than one billion to buy those luxury aircraft. He always feels that the performance of these aircraft is just like this. If the big guy in the group gives one, the performance will definitely be much higher than this one.
After the aircraft is purchased, it is also necessary to be equipped with a dedicated private pilot and flight attendant, which are all left to the company to arrange.
Before his private plane arrived, Lu Zixin went to the United States first. In a few days, the Federal Communications Commission would approve the Hongxin Group's product application, and he would meet a few people first.
The first one is Gru, the current president of At&T AT&T.
AT&T is headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Its predecessor was Bell Telephone Company. Bell was not "the top of the food chain" Bell Griers, but Alexander Bell, the father of the phone.
This company has been leading the world since its historical period and is still the world's leading telecom operator, ranking among the top ten of the most valuable companies in the world! It can be said to be a giant beast in the world's economic market!
In the grand AT&T headquarters building, Lu Zixin met Gru. He is about 40 years old, with short black hair, suit, white shirt, and traditional workplace elite dress. This person is at the helm of a large multinational company worth hundreds of billions of yuan, and his ability cannot be underestimated.
"I'm glad to see you, my dear Mr. Lu." Gru shook hands with him. He didn't know how to speak Chinese, but the translator function of Lu Zixin's mobile phone perfectly solved this problem.
"I'm also honored." Lu Zixin sat opposite him, and after a brief exchange, he began to negotiate on company affairs.
