Reborn since 1993

Chapter 1038 Those who stood in the same team may not remember, those who did not stand in the same team will be recorded in the little notebook

The changes in the domestic mobile phone industry were shocking and unexpected.

The Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company came on with great force, but no one expected this situation to occur.

Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company wanted to reduce the production cost of PHS, but it did not expect that it would destroy the world's largest market for PHS.

The result turned out to be like this. Dongling Hi-Tech announced that Nippon Benzene Telephone and Telegraph Company had breached the contract and demanded a penalty of US$300 million.

Then, all the parts suppliers of Dongling Hi-Tech joined Dongling Hi-Tech and stopped producing parts for Xiaolingtong.

Dongling Hi-Tech's agents and distributors across the country also chose to take sides, causing Xiaolingtong to "disappear" in the country for a while.

The industry leader is gone, leaving UTStarcom and other industry rivals stunned.

It was also the first time they saw an industry leader kill himself by self-destruction!
Did Dongling Hi-Tech suffer huge losses? Of course it did. The parts industry chain system that it had painstakingly built up suffered a severe blow.

But for Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company, which spent more than 10 billion US dollars to buy the world's third largest mobile phone brand, it just stopped production!

In comparison, who is more affected? Anyway, Dongling Hi-Tech is now feeling "wronged" and claims that Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company did not abide by the agreement and has no contractual spirit at all.

Not only did they complain through domestic media, they also leaked the news to overseas media, shouting all over the world that NTT was bullying others and Dongling Hi-Tech was forced to fight back. The failure of the Xiaolingtong mobile phone was not Dongling Hi-Tech's fault.

There were no OEM factories, no parts suppliers, no dealers, and even Dongling Hi-Tech formed a luxurious team of lawyers to start suing Nippon Benzene Telephone and Telegraph Company.

Hanxi Court accepted Dongling Hi-Tech's lawsuit at the first opportunity. During the lawsuit, Dongling Hi-Tech also proposed to seal up the PHS mobile phones being sold in the country first to prevent Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company from running away!

This is obvious, forcing domestic electronic agents to choose between supporting Dongling Hi-Tech or supporting Nippon Benzene Telephone and Telegraph Company. The choice is one of the two!

How did that sentence go? At this time, Dongling Hi-Tech may not remember the parts manufacturers, agents, and distributors that are on its side.

However, those who did not stand on Dongling Hi-Tech's side have been recorded in Dongling Hi-Tech's notebook.

Those parts suppliers and electronics agents who have not taken sides had better pray that Dongling Hi-Tech fails to launch a product that can rival the PHS mobile phone.

Otherwise, those who have not taken sides will never get an order from Dongling Hi-Tech, and will never be able to be agents for Dongling Hi-Tech’s products!
Faced with the self-explosion of the Xiaolingtong mobile phone, if UTStarcom and other friendly companies still don’t know what to do at this time, then they can just find a piece of white tender tofu and kill themselves.

Seeing that Xiaolingtong was in trouble, various domestic mobile phone manufacturers began to increase their publicity efforts and started to fight for Xiaolingtong's "legacy".

Even the sales channels are ready-made. All they need to do is find Hanhai Trading and other former agents of Xiaolingtong. Instead of selling Xiaolingtong, they can sell UTStarcom, BBK and other PHS phones. There should be no problem, right? !

What made domestic mobile phone manufacturers such as UTStarcom even more jealous was that Focus Media, the largest TV shopping platform in China, suddenly announced that it would start promoting and selling mobile phone brands other than Xiaolingtong.

Moreover, Focus Media announced that it will not only promote its cooperating brand mobile phones in China, but will also promote them to Focus Media’s overseas cooperating TV shopping platforms in Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Siam!

Focus Media is not bragging. In the past few years, Focus Media has spent a lot of money to cooperate with TV stations in Hong Kong, South Korea, Siam, Japan, Singapore and other places to develop TV shopping channels.

Today's Focus Media can be said to be the largest TV shopping platform in Asia.

It is obvious that Focus Media wants to avenge its parent company by grabbing the overseas market for PHS mobile phones through TV shopping channels.

It's not just Focus Media that is feeling disgusted. Dongling Hi-Tech's staunch ally in Hong Kong, Ning's Trading, announced that it will suspend its agency for PHS mobile phones.

At the same time, Wanjia Electric City Asia Company, which is managed by Ning's Trading, also announced that it would temporarily remove Xiaolingtong from the shelves!
In an instant, a huge mobile phone market suddenly appeared from the mainland to Southeast Asia.

The global mobile phone industry is stunned. Not only the domestic mobile phone industry, but also overseas mobile phone markets such as Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Sony, Ericsson, LG, Panasonic, etc. are all a little jealous.

Previously, Xiaolingtong mobile phones, with their cost-effectiveness and much lower call costs than GSM and CDMA, swept away a large number of users in the entire Asian market.

It has even extended its mobile phone business into markets such as South America, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East, and its performance is quite strong.

If there was no pressure from Xiaolingtong and PHS Telecom, could Ericsson lower the price of GSM base stations?
Without Xiaolingtong, would Nokia be willing to lower the price of a mobile phone that sells for five or six thousand yuan in mainland China to more than three thousand yuan?

PHS technology is not as good as GSM, but that is viewed from the perspective of future generations. Dongling Hi-Tech gave up Xiaolingtong and PHS because it lacked stamina.

But in the eyes of today's people, PHS mobile phones are quite powerful, making manufacturers such as Nokia and Ericsson feel like they are facing a formidable enemy.

But such an opponent that the entire telecommunications and mobile phone industry competitors were extremely wary of, just like the collapse of the Russian Empire a few years ago, suddenly self-destructed, which is really puzzling.

There are many ways to solve the problem, but some people choose to kill themselves!
"Mobile phones are going overseas!" Domestic mobile phone manufacturers almost immediately began to contact Focus Media and Ning's Trading Company, wanting to start going overseas.

What's more, for a company like UTStarcom, Wu Ying personally led a team to fly directly to Hanxi. She knew who to contact at this time to make UTStarcom's mobile phones go overseas more smoothly.

……

"Asian News reported that the world's third largest mobile phone shipper, Xiaolingtong, may be in a production suspension crisis due to the contract issues of its parent company, Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company!
Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company and Dongling Hi-Tech, the OEM manufacturer of Xiaolingtong, have entered the stage of litigation. An expert in the Asian mobile phone industry analyzed that Xiaolingtong may face the risk of being banned from sale in the mainland due to the issue of liquidated damages. Currently, many Xiaolingtong agents have announced the suspension of Xiaolingtong sales! "

YEL TV1, Finland's largest public television station, broadcasts news from Asia.

The city of Espoo, which belongs to the Greater Helsinki metropolitan area, is also the headquarters of Nokia, the world's largest mobile phone shipper.

Watching the news on TV, Nokia President Ollila looked at Nokia Chief Financial Officer Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, head of telecommunications equipment Baldauf, head of public relations department Wely and others with some confusion.

No matter how Ollila looked at it, he felt that the news on TV sounded so much like fake news.

Spreading his hands, Orilla looked at these trusted executives and said, "Can anyone tell me if today is April Fool's Day? Is this fake news?"

"I'm sorry, sir, today is not April Fools' Day!"

"The news on TV is also true. The public relations department has contacted the media in the mainland and confirmed the authenticity of the news!" Willy said to Orilla.

For a moment, Ollila didn't know what to say. The enemy suddenly fell down and Nokia was caught off guard.

Nokia believes that it will have a tough battle in the Asian market. It will first defeat PHS and then fight with Samsung, Sony, Panasonic and other companies.

After all, Asia is now one of the world's three largest mobile phone markets. Although the strength of a single mobile phone manufacturer seems to be inferior to that of old Europe's Nokia and America's Motorola, there are so many mobile phone manufacturers in Asia, and they are all strong and powerful.

Therefore, Nokia's previous strategy was to first stabilize its base in old Europe, then move to America, and finally seize the Asian market.

However, due to the sudden changes in the Asian mobile phone market, Pomola was forced to change his strategy.

"This is an opportunity!"

Ollila made a quick decision and said to Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo and other Nokia executives, "Nokia must seize the mainland and Asian markets and distribute products to the Asian market!"

"Not only mobile phones, but also Nokia's base stations and telecommunications equipment are also trying to seize the mainland's telecommunications equipment market.

The breakup between Nippon Telephone and Telegraph and Tanglin Hi-Tech may lead to a major change in the mainland's purchase of base station telecommunications equipment. This is an opportunity for Nokia!"

Ollila quickly deployed his troops and prepared to seize the mainland mobile phone and telecommunications equipment market.

Nokia is now not only the world's largest mobile phone shipper, but also the third largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer in old Europe, second only to Ericsson and Siemens.

Now that Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company has suddenly lost its mainland market, Nokia is bound to snatch it away!

Nokia's success in becoming the world's largest mobile phone shipper in just six years is closely related to Ollila's vision and courage.

The heads of giant companies these days are all very powerful, this is true in America and old Europe as well, because these days, giant companies are expanding their territories all over the world, it is an era of great contention, and those who are not strong would have been swallowed up long ago.

Following Ollila's decision, the entire Nokia began to operate rapidly, sending senior executives to Asia, especially the mainland, looking for partners, starting to place advertisements, etc.

It can be said that the entire mainland mobile phone and telecommunications market was in complete chaos for a time. The PHS telecommunications, which was originally in full swing and was considered to be the future of the mainland telecommunications industry, was directly put on hold.

The PHS base station procurement plans originally planned by various parts of the country have also begun to wait and see.

But for one person, this chaotic situation made him furious.

"A bunch of losers!"

“Is it that difficult to find a foundry?!”

Nakamura's roaring voice could be heard across the meeting room, causing the telephone and telegraph clerks passing by to walk on tiptoe for fear of angering Nakamura.
