Chapter 595: Full internationalization, defeat Apple!

Although the price of the Unbounded Note series is very low and its configuration is only mid-range, it is supported by the XOS system and its actual performance is very powerful.

Just go international and do iPhone!

Selling iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s worldwide!

That’s right, now if you are using iPhone 5s, you don’t need a Xingyi phone anymore, an Wujie phone will do!

You don’t even need the high-end S series of Wujie, the mid-range note series is enough!
In fact, the configuration of iPhone these days is not high, and the performance is not super strong. The only powerful thing is the brand and system.

However, the Unbounded phone is powered by the XOS system, and its 64-bit advantage is more obvious than that of the iPhone, making it even more powerful.

之前999的无界1代，已经把iPhone 5干翻，唯一的不足就是无界1代不支持4G，而海外版本的iPhone 5支持4G。

This alone gives Apple an excuse.

This also led many foreign users to veto the first generation of Ultrasurf.

After all, 4G is critical, especially since 4G has been developed for many years abroad and is very mature. 4G has been popularized in many countries and regions. No matter how powerful the first generation of Unlimited is, foreign users will not buy it if it does not support 1G.

But now, Ultrasurf Note 1 is here!

The processor has been upgraded from Kunpeng 500 to Kunpeng 505 SOC, integrating 4G full network baseband, which has greatly improved the performance and made up for the last shortcoming. It not only surpasses the iPhone 5 in all aspects, but also surpasses the iPhone 5S!

The Ultrawide Note 1 Pro is even more powerful. It is equipped with Kunpeng 508 SOC, which further improves performance and comprehensively upgrades configuration. Coupled with the 64-bit support of the XOS system, it can compete even with the iPhone 6 which has not yet been released, and the actual experience is not inferior to it.

There is no way. There are too few 64-bit applications for current iPhones. Even with the iPhone 6 in the second half of the year, the 64-bit bonus cannot be brought into play. However, all the applications in the Unbounded mobile phone are 64-bit, so the 64-bit bonus can be fully utilized.

In this way, it is no problem for Kunpeng 508 to beat Apple A8, and for Ultrawide Note 1 Pro to beat iPhone 6!

Even if the A6 processor of iPhone 8 is more powerful, it can only be surpassed by the Ultrawide Note 1 Pro!

As for the borderless S series, the iPhone 6 is even more incomparable.

Unless many years later, all of Apple's mainstream 64-bit applications are adapted, but this will take several years.

In fact, Apple’s biggest advantage over Android is that the IOS system is very smooth and well optimized.

But compared with the Xingyi and Wujie phones, the advantages of Apple's IOS system are gone, and there are no 64-bit applications, which makes it even more insignificant.

Wang Yi used the Unbounded Note 1 series as a pioneer and went directly international, with no problems at all for iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, and even the iPhone 6 in the second half of the year.

It can also better dampen the iPhone’s momentum and hit its brand image and industry status!

Just imagine, once an iPhone that costs five or six thousand yuan is defeated by the Unbounded Note that costs more than a thousand yuan, the iPhone will completely fall from the altar, and even the iPhone's brand divinity will collapse, and it will be difficult to make a comeback in the future!
For this reason, the price of the Unbounded Note series cannot be too high.

Making money is secondary, the key is to beat iPhone 5s and iPhone 6.

That’s right, Wang Yin would rather make less money and work for Apple!

If you want to blame someone, blame Apple for making things difficult for Wang Yi during the New Year. This is a big taboo!

Apple made Wang Yi have a bad year, so Wang Yi will make Apple have a bad year every year and its sales will not be good from generation to generation!

The next day, Wang Yi convened a core high-level meeting.

Not only were all members of the mobile phone department present, but Franz Quentin and others from Star International also participated in the video conference.

"Today's topic is only one, that is Xingyi mobile phone, borderless mobile phone, comprehensive internationalization!"

Wang Yi got straight to the point: "I believe everyone has heard about this. Right now Apple is desperate and is using various means to hunt down and intercept parallel imports of our Xingyi and Wujie phones in overseas markets. They offer generous bonuses to those who provide clues about parallel importers, and bribe the FBI that investigates parallel imports. They even bribe and lobby U.S. congressmen and politicians to propose a comprehensive ban on parallel imports of Xingyi and Wujie phones."

"Apple's determination to crack down on our parallel imports is unstoppable. For this reason, we can only fight back with all our strength and start internationalization directly."

"Since we acquired numerous patents from giants such as Nokia, Ericsson, and Sony, and added our own patents, Xingyi Technology's communications patent reserves have now ranked sixth in the world! Its mobile phone patent reserves have ranked fifth in the world."

"It can be said that our Xingyi Technology's patent moat has been built, and its growth rate is the fastest in the world."

"Even if a patent war breaks out, we have enough patent reserves to fight back and file a counter-suit."

"Even if Apple or Samsung goes to war with us, we won't be afraid."

"Even Apple and Samsung cannot win after a patent war. The final result is likely to be a 50-50 split, or both sides will suffer losses."

"If we don't want both sides to suffer losses, we can only cross-license and reach a settlement in the end."

Everyone nodded, in a good mood.

Previously, Xingyi Technology had too few patent reserves. Although it had invested heavily in research and development and the speed at which patents were added was astonishing, this was not something that could be achieved overnight.

Xingyi Technology's efforts over the past few years cannot catch up with the decades of accumulation of Nokia, Qualcomm, Apple and Samsung.

Once they go international and are sued for patents, they will eventually lose the case and end up being banned from sale and fined like HTC.

It's really terrible.

But now it’s different. Xingyi Technology has also entered the top five clubs in the world in mobile phone patents and holds a large number of communication patents and other core patents.

In the mobile phone industry, it is second only to Apple and Samsung.

Even if Samsung and Apple initiate patent lawsuits, they cannot win even though they have slightly more patents than Xingyi Technology.

Among the top five countries in the world, all have means to contain each other.

Apple and Samsung are strong in some areas, and they can use their patents to ban the sale of Xingyi phones.

Similarly, Xingyi Technology is strong in other fields and can use its own patents to ban the sale of Samsung phones and iPhones.

In this case, no one will sell.

This is not realistic.

Therefore, the final result can only be that multiple parties cross-authorize each other and reach a grand settlement.

After cross-licensing, the party with a much worse advantage will have to pay some patent fees to the other party.

However, although the number of Xingyi Technology’s patents is not as many as Samsung and Apple, the number of its core patents is no less than that of the other, or even more.

In particular, the number of patents in the fields of fast charging, fingerprint recognition, AI voice interaction, 4G communication, etc. is more than that of Apple and Samsung.

These patents are the most core and no one can avoid them.

It can be said that in terms of quantity, Xingyi Technology is not as good as Apple and Samsung for the time being, but in terms of quality, it surpasses the other.

In this way, even if a patent war breaks out and the two sides argue for several months, the outcome will be 50-50 in the end.

Neither Apple nor Samsung can win.

As for the other Nokias, they can't win either.

Unless Nokia does not make mobile phones but only sells patents like in its previous life, then Xingyi Technology, Apple and Samsung will have to pay protection fees.

There is no way. Once Nokia stops making mobile phones, it will not infringe on the patents of other brands, there will be no need for cross-licensing, and it can naturally collect patent protection fees.

But now, Nokia is still making mobile phones and even using Kunpeng chips. In this situation, it doesn’t matter and it can only reach a cross-licensing agreement with Xingyi Technology.

Or both sides won't mention this matter, won't sue each other, and just coexist peacefully.

There is no other reason. Xingyi Technology is not only a strong mobile phone brand, but also a core supply chain giant!

It can be said that except for companies like Apple that do not use any components of Xingyi Technology, other mobile phone brands generally do not have a quarrel with Xingyi Technology and have to rely on Xingyi Technology's chips, fingerprint modules, fast charging modules, and motherboard chipset designs...

Cannibals have short mouths and short hands.

The core components are all from Xingyi Technology, and now they are suing Xingyi Technology for patent infringement. Isn't this courting death? Are they really not afraid of being strangled? Cut off supply?

Even not being sued by Xingyi Technology is considered a blessing.

The only ones with problems are Apple and half of Samsung.

Currently, Samsung also uses some of Xingyi Technology’s fast-charging modules, but there is not much other cooperation.

Once Samsung abandons Xingyi Technology's fast charging module, it is possible that it will turn around and start a patent war.

But Xingyi Technology is no longer what it used to be and is fully capable of dealing with it.

Wang Yi continued: "The patent issue has been resolved. The next key is how to go global and how to beat Apple! What do you think?"

Zhu Changlin spoke first: "Since we need to go international quickly, then Xingyi X1 will definitely not be in time!"

Wang Yi nodded: "Then use the Ultrasurf Note 1 and Ultrasurf Note 1 Pro."

"This..." The others hesitated, and someone else spoke up:
"Chairman, these two mobile phones are just mid-range phones of Wujie. The price is very low. Is it not a good idea to use them as the beginning of internationalization?"

"Yes, Chairman, why don't we wait a little longer for our internationalization process until Xingyi X is released!"

"Yes, although these two products are excellent, they cannot represent our strength."

Wang Yi waved his hand: "No need. Apple has already taken advantage of us. How can we have time to wait for Xingyi X1? If we wait for Xingyi X1, it will be early March, which is more than two months away. It's too late."

"ten thousand years is too long, fight for now."

“Internationalization must start quickly and be launched as soon as possible.”

"Although the Wujie NOTE series is just a mid-range phone from a low-end brand, the price is only about 5 to yuan, and the configuration is not very strong, but it is enough to beat the iPhone S."

"We just want to beat the iPhone with mid-range products from a low-end brand, that's all."

"More importantly, this is also a form of dumping."

"Dumping method?"

"What does that mean?" Everyone was puzzled.

Wang Yi smiled mysteriously: "When the time comes, you will know. In Xia Country, the majority are low-income people. The same is true in the United States and the world as a whole."

"We need to quickly capture the US market, and starting with the Unbounded phone is the best option. Besides, we also have the high-end Xphone 3 and Xphone 3plus."

"When the time comes, wealthy foreigners will buy the xphone 3 and xphone 3plus, while users with limited financial resources will buy the 1G Note and 4G S series. As for the G st generation, forget it since it doesn't support G."

"Also, the price of the Unbounded Note series is more expensive abroad than in China. But it is still half the price of an iPhone."

"Such pricing is easy for US users to accept and willing to try the borderless phone, so it can naturally be promoted on a large scale."

Wang Yi thought clearly that no matter whether Xiaomi would attack Xingyi Technology or not, he had to first use the unlimited mobile phone to take over Xiaomi's market as soon as possible, make money as soon as possible, transfer the profits back to China, and put them in his pocket safely.

By then, Mi will attack Xingyi Technology and make money from Xingyi Technology.

A large number of users in the United States also own a borderless phone, the Xingyi phone.

Once the United States imposes comprehensive restrictions, Xingyi Technology will not say anything, but American consumers will lose their affordable and high-quality borderless mobile phones and may take to the streets to protest.

Zero-dollar shopping is happening again.

By then, there will be no need for guidance. Those angry users will feel that their interests have been damaged and think that it is all Apple's fault, and they will also go to Apple stores where they can buy things for free.

By then, it will be enough to give Apple and Xiaomi a headache.

In this game between Apple and Xiaomi, Wang Yi doesn't seek huge profits, he only wants Apple to suffer!

Wang Yi made a prompt decision: "Start preparing immediately, follow the procedures, and prepare for full internationalization. Ship all our Unbounded Note series, Unbounded S series, and Xingyi mobile phones to major warehouses and stores overseas."

"At the same time, we will make all preparations and actively cooperate with global telecom operators."

"Once everything is ready, we will hold the launch conference of the Unbounded Note at..."

"New York?" someone guessed.

"Washington?"

Wang Yi shook his head repeatedly.

Song Si Ning, who was also on the video conference, said, “Cupertino!”

Everyone suddenly realized: "Cupertino, California, Silicon Valley, where Apple's headquarters is located!"

Wang Yi nodded: "Yes, in Cupertino, California! We are holding a press conference right at the doorstep of Apple. We want to tell Apple and the world that we are here!"

"From now on, there will be no boundaries between the Boundless and Xingyi phones, and they will be sold worldwide!"

"At Apple's doorstep, using the Ultrasurf Note 1 to beat the iPhone 5s!"

"Wow!" Applause broke out in the conference room.

Apple is desperate and is determined to completely cut off the parallel import sales of Xingyi and Wujie phones.

Then Wang Yi went all out and held a press conference at Apple’s doorstep to bash the iPhone 5S!

A sure-fire way to deal damage, tooth for tooth!

"Next, all departments must prepare quickly. No matter whether it is product distribution or market development, there must be no problems!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded and left.

Only the most core senior executives such as Wang Yi, Song Sining and Zhu Changlin are left.

"The U.S. market is quite special, and it is not easy to develop it using normal methods." Wang Yi said in a deep voice.

Franz Quentin nodded in the video conference: "Yes, the financial groups and politicians who support Apple will definitely block it completely. It will never be that easy."

Wang Yi agreed: "In this case, we need to use the barbarians to control the barbarians."

"Chairman, do you mean that we should also hire some politicians to support us?" Franz Quentin couldn't help but say, "That's indeed a solution, and it's feasible. But I'm afraid that Apple's influence is deeply rooted, and we, as outsiders, will not be able to adapt to the local environment."

"It is certain that we will not be able to adapt to the local environment, so we have to change our approach. Instead of simply buying off politicians, we need to reach in-depth cooperation with the financial groups behind the politicians."

Wang Yi said: "We will form a community of interests with these financial groups and help them make money, so that they will actively promote the development of Xingyi mobile phones and Wujie mobile phones in the United States."

"And the chosen target is the hostile faction of the consortium behind Apple."

"I believe that many non-Apple shareholders are also jealous of the iPhone's profits and market share in the mobile phone market!"

Franz Quentin's eyes lit up: "Yes, Chairman, this is entirely possible. As outsiders, it is not easy for us to go to the United States and fight against Apple and the consortium behind it. But if we also cooperate with some of the consortiums and make money together, it will be easy."

Wang Yi nodded: "You are familiar with the affairs in the United States, so I'll leave this matter to you."

"No problem, Chairman. The top four shareholders of Apple are Vanguard Group, BlackRock, Berkshire Hathaway, and State Street Corporation. Except for Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, the other three are YOU consortiums."

"It can be said that Apple and the Y-group consortium are inseparable. And we can strive for the ANG-group consortium." Franz Quentin said with a smile.

Wang Yi was noncommittal: "We can give it a try, but each consortium has its own familiar businesses and fields. As the saying goes, different industries are like different mountains. If the leap is too big, it is easy to fail. But we can strive for cooperation with US operators, as well as retail channels such as Walmart and Best Buy, as well as e-commerce channels such as Amazon and eBay."

"Chairman, it's a good idea. The best-selling mobile phones in the U.S. are contract phones, so operators can definitely win over them. We can also win over physical supermarkets like Walmart and e-commerce companies like Amazon. Once we win over them, with the help of their channels and stores, Xingyi and Wujie phones can be quickly rolled out!"

Franz Quentin said, then changed the subject: "The only problem is that the major shareholders behind these operators and e-commerce platforms are also Vanguard Group, BlackRock, and State Street Corporation. And they are all major shareholders of Apple. I am worried..."

Wang Yi nodded. "You are right to worry, but you don't have to worry too much. Even though the major shareholders behind these giants include Vanguard Group, BlackRock, and State Street Corporation, they cannot cover the sky with one hand. There are many other shareholders of Series A. These shareholders have considerable influence when combined, and they are destined to be at odds with Series A and will definitely go against it."

"As long as Pioneer, BlackRock, and State Street refuse to cooperate with us, the remaining A-share shareholders will firmly support cooperation with us. Other neutral shareholders, knowing that Xingyi and Wujie phones can make a lot of money, will also actively support cooperation with us for their own interests. In this way, with a two-to-one ratio, Pioneer and BlackRock will be helpless."

"After all, Pioneer and BlackRock are major shareholders of Apple, but other shareholders of operators, e-commerce and supermarket giants are not major shareholders of Apple. Seeing that Pioneer and BlackRock have made so much money from Apple, other shareholders will also be jealous and want to cooperate with us to make some money as well."

Franz Quentin suddenly realized: "So that's it. That's right. American financial groups often don't talk about their positions, they only care about interests. If they can make a lot of money and bring them benefits by cooperating with us, then that's fine. I even suspect that Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street Corporation are thinking about cooperating with us."

Wang Yi smiled: "That's possible. You know, Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street are not monolithic. There are Y-type shareholders and A-type shareholders. In addition, Apple's recent performance has been very poor, causing the stocks held by major shareholders to continue to depreciate and their net worth to plummet. I guess many major shareholders want to change their goals and make more money, which can also be regarded as risk hedging!"

"Yes, the money lost by Apple can be earned back from Xingyi Technology. It's a perfect risk hedge!" Franz Quentin was in a good mood: "It's not impossible."

"In addition, Apple is becoming less and less powerful right now, and I guess many financial groups and institutions have shorted Apple. These financial groups and capital are also willing to let us grow bigger and cooperate with us. In this way, they can make more money by shorting Apple."

"Of course, there will be many Apple shareholders who support and defend Apple, but this is limited."

Wang Yi said meaningfully: "If Apple is a giant whale, then there are far more people who want to be whale-killing warriors than whale-protecting knights!"

"After all, when a whale dies, everything comes to life!"

"If possible, I don't mind joining forces with these whale-killing warriors to kill Apple together!"

"When the time comes, we will strike the giant whale with a knife, and those whale-killing warriors will seize the opportunity, jump out, and strike back like crazy!"

"This..." Franz Quentin was shocked. He was shocked by Wang Yi's bold idea.

But if you think about it, it's entirely possible.

The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.

Apple's stock price has soared from a few dollars at the beginning of its listing to more than 500 US dollars, soaring hundreds of times.

It was only in recent years that it was hit hard by Xingyi Technology and its stock price fell to US$380.

But even so, it still skyrocketed so much.

Many of Apple's major shareholders and consortiums have made huge amounts of money and are extremely wealthy.

In this regard, other financial groups have long been extremely jealous and are eager to divide it up and devour it.

These consortiums have many influencers in the U.S. political arena. As long as we reach cooperation with them, internationalization can be opened up.

If interests are deeply involved, it will be difficult to target Xingyi Technology!
Wang Yi knew very well how chaotic the situation was within this makeshift team.

If it's really for money, you can do anything.

For example, within its Social Security Administration, some people receive pensions until they are 150 years old!
That’s right, you will receive it even if you die!

And no one has discovered it in decades!
In other words, it doesn’t matter if you find out.

Because many people get it until they are 120, 130 years old...

As long as Xingyi Technology joins one side, we can let the two sides fight each other.

"Chairman, how do we measure the depth of our cooperation? For example, the other party wants to invest in Xingyi Technology..."

Wang Yi smiled faintly: "The cooperation will start from the shallow end and gradually progress to the deep end. Let's make money together first, and then we'll see how things go later."

Franz Quentin knew in his heart that to wait and see was a refusal.

The chairman wants a shallow cooperation and just to make a lot of money together now.

As for in-depth cooperation and letting the other party invest in Xingyi Technology, that is impossible!

"Okay, Chairman, I understand."

"Well, let's go!"

"Okay, Chairman."

After the video conference, Franz Quentin collected some information overnight and started running around the next day, attending meetings of major consortiums and negotiating various cooperations.

According to Wang Yi's instructions, Franz Quentin started with the operators.

Unlike in China, mobile phone sales in the United States are mainly contract phones customized by operators, accounting for more than 80% of total sales.

If Xingyi and Wujie mobile phones want to gain a foothold in the world's second largest market, they cannot avoid operators and contract-based customized phones!
