In this world, if you are doing the same kind of business, then some people will be happy and some will be sad.
If Xiao Qi wants to be happy, then he has to make his biggest competitor unhappy.
Obviously, Samsung does not have this qualification at this stage. The only person who is qualified for Xiao Qi to take action is Gang Leader Qiao.
Gang Leader Qiao is a genius that Xiao Qi respects very much. Unlike people like Xiao Qi who rely on the memory of later generations to develop, Gang Leader Qiao is an absolute tycoon.
Except for Gang Leader Qiao, no one has ever been able to come back so gloriously after being kicked out of the company he founded, and turn the company into the world's largest electronics company.
However, from another aspect, Gang Leader Qiao's personal character is very criticized.
What Xiao Qi is talking about is not that he never donates money to charity. That kind of thing can only be used to coax the children of China. Every penny spent by the rich in the United States must be worthwhile.
The reason why they donate countless amounts is just to obtain greater benefits - financial, reputation, etc.
What Xiao Qi really criticizes about Gang Leader Qiao is his tyrannical behavior of treating his subordinates and partners like slaves.
No one who works at Apple, whether they are the more than one hundred global vice presidents, the staff at the bottom, or the elites in the design laboratory, is free of mental illness, and they are all forced by Boss Qiao.
Not to mention whether the famous "terrorist elevator" incident was true, but Gang Leader Qiao showed no mercy to his subordinates, and no one could defend his behavior of scolding his subordinates at every turn.
Even after he entered Apple for the second time and his personality improved slightly, Apple was still under high pressure.
The same is true for all suppliers, whether it is a first-line supplier like Samsung or a bottom-level supplier like Red Sea Factory, Qiao Bangzhu will always give the lowest price and the highest quality standard.
The purpose is purely to make the horse run hard and not to eat grass.
Later, Samsung fought hard and raised the prices of its A4 and A5 processor chips several times. As a result, Apple ostensibly agreed and raised the prices, but then it changed hands and directly gave Samsung the price in the name of technical infringement.
If we file a lawsuit, we will ask Samsung to pay US$2 billion.
right.
You heard it right, a $2 billion compensation lawsuit.
At that time, Li Jianxi was dumbfounded.
This shows how ruthless Gang Leader Qiao is.
In fact, Guo Taiming and others do not want to treat these workers too harshly, but the problem is that the money given by Apple is too little. Baodao people have to make money themselves, so they have no choice but to wrong the mainland workers.
It was because of Gang Leader Qiao's bad record in these aspects that Xiao Qi was always on guard when doing business with him, fearing that the old man would make a killing move at some point.
Of course, Xiao Qi has an increasingly powerful application store in his hands, so he is not afraid of Gang Leader Qiao's displeasure.
What the young man is really worried about is the lowest-level foundries such as Red Sea, Pegatron, Bourne, and Flextronics.
In addition to complaining about the injustice of those workers who work like bonded labor, the more important practical significance is that Xiao Qi sold 5% of the shares of the App Store to Apple. As a result, he and Gang Leader Qiao had an agreement that under the supervision of the young father Xiao
After Xu officially became the secretary of the Daoyin Municipal Party Committee, Qiao Bang mainly opened an IPHONE OEM factory in Daoyin with 150,000 to 200,000 people.
If according to Gang Leader Qiao's character, in exchange, I come to your Daoyin to open a factory, that's no problem.
But how the factory operates and how wages and working conditions are determined are my own business. Don’t even think about intervening.
All right.
If that is really the case, Xiao Qi originally introduced the IPHONE OEM to benefit the public. But it turned out to be a deception.
Such low salary, such harsh working environment, such high-intensity work... Xiao Qi deeply feels that it is better for the people of Vietnam, Indonesia and Japan to do these jobs.
This is how conflicts arise.
It requires IPHONE to set up an OEM factory in Daoyin, but also requires the OEM's salary and appropriate working conditions. This is obviously a contradiction in the face of a tyrant like Gang Leader Qiao.
In order to resolve this contradiction and gain some benefits for the millions of OEM workers for various Apple products around the world, Xiao Qi could only adopt some less sophisticated methods.
In the Internet age, the most important thing is to be able to do things more secretly.
Xiao Qi used 8 account turnovers, and then used various secret methods to entrust a consulting company to find the New York Times. After spending 10 million US dollars in various sponsorship fees, as early as May,
More than 20 reporters from the New York Times set off from the United States and traveled to China, Vietnam, India, Indonesia and other places to secretly interview the living conditions of Apple factory workers.
In a previous life, it was the New York Times that first exposed the poor working conditions and inhumane treatment of employees at the Red Sea factory that produces iPhones, which caused an uproar.
It's just that it was January 2012, and now it's 2007, more than 4 years ahead of time.
But the curiosity of the New York Times is equally strong.
Now that they heard about this possible problem at Apple, the New York Times immediately became interested. After accepting the sponsorship, it immediately started fighting to build its reputation as a "hero of justice."
There is no doubt that American newspapers and magazines are famous for speaking out.
The Kennedy brothers shared the Monroe incident, Nixon's Watergate incident, and Clinton's White House intern incident... all were first disclosed by newspapers.
As long as there is a sensational effect, they don't care who the target is, and they dare to report anything.
What's hot in America right now?
In addition to the negative subprime mortgage crisis, there is also the extremely popular Apple IPHONE!
It’s exciting to think about how ugly it is under its beautiful appearance!
After more than three months of secret interviews and investigations, the New York Times gained a lot. It took more than half a month to sort it out after returning to New York before finally publishing a special issue on the morning of Monday, October 14th, Eastern Time.
, published a special report on "Beautiful Apple, Ugly Apple".
It listed the reporter's interview experience in China, India and several other countries, as well as candid photos, etc., all in detail. There was no need for the reporter to describe it. The actual situation was so bad and ugly that it was simply shocking.
As a result, the American people were shocked to discover that behind the glamor of the iPhone, there was such an ugly reality. It was really disgusting.
Then, with a bang, public opinion in the United States exploded.
