Our Rise Era

Chapter 200: Strangling local photovoltaic power generation in Europe and the United States!

2009, April 9.

【R&D Department】

Guo Shanming sat quietly in a chair, looking at an invitation letter.

This invitation letter is called [Android Open Source Alliance] Invitation Letter.

Open the invitation letter...

Guo Shanming saw a contract.

[Second batch of Android Open Source Alliance] Agreement!
From the first half of 2009 to date.

For Guo Shanming, it was like a roller coaster.

In the first half of the year, their [MTK] system in China, relying on mid- and low-end manufacturing, was very popular, reached the top and created a feast.

In the second half of the year, with the encirclement and suppression of [Samsung], [Novia], [Android System] and others, and the official crackdown on the varying quality of copycat mobile phones.

Overnight, countless wildly growing small workshops producing copycat phones were wiped out.

As the copycat mobile phone market collapsed overnight, as the [Shengxing SX-G1] mobile phone, [Samsung I750], and [Xiaomi 2] successively entered the Chinese market...

The R&D Department, which once controlled half of China's low-end mobile phone market, has also faced an extremely embarrassing situation.

From June to September, nearly half of the MTK system motherboard factories in mainland China and Taiwan went bankrupt or closed down.

Several well-run cooperative factories on Taiwan Island are also facing the risk of layoffs every day at this moment.

after all……

The market is gone!
Who wants the MTK system that has been produced?

"How many sales have been made for [Wheat 2]?"

“Two million.”

"Two million units, with nearly half a million delivered. This is the sales volume of [Wheat 200] in the past two days..."

Guo Shanming threw the invitation letter aside and looked at his assistant.

The assistant standing next to him handed over a piece of data. This data was the [September sales chart of "Wheat 9"]...

Since the sales of [Xiaomi 2] mobile phone exceeded [Samsung I750] mobile phone, it has started to experience the wild growth of the copycat mobile phone. The sales volume of [Xiaomi 2] in the mall is almost in the tens of thousands every day...

This information also shows that many copycat phone manufacturers in mainland China have become production bases for [Xiaomi 2] overnight, and are busy supplying [Xiaomi Mall] every day.

The number of 200 million units is very eye-catching...

This is a brand!
A series!
Sales in two months!
In terms of sales, it defeated the arrogant Samsung and the first Android phone, Shengxing SX-G1, and continued to surge forward with incredible sales!
I don’t know if it’s an illusion…

Faintly, Guo Shanming actually had a feeling as if he was recalling the debut of the "Xiao Shentong" mobile phone in 2004.

"Mr. Guo, Android has just acquired the [QTK] system. According to the latest news, the [Android 2.0] system is very likely to be an upgraded product that combines [Web OS] with the Android system..."

The assistant's words seemed to remind him of something.

Guo Shanming once again took the invitation letter.

This time when he received the invitation, the expression on his face was inexplicably heavy.

It is obvious that Android, backed by Google, has very clear strategic intentions in China.

From mobile operators to mobile phone and terminal brands, from component suppliers to software suppliers and system suppliers...

They will use all means to integrate all resources and eventually dominate the Chinese mobile phone industry.

As the creator of the MTK system and the R&D department with an advanced chip design team, they were naturally also invited.

He saw the invitation letter, which showed that among the second batch of members to be invited, there was the [Wheat] brand.

I closed my eyes silently, feeling mixed emotions.

The young man who used to look down on me and worked under me became my equal in just one year...

This seems like the funniest joke in the world!
but……

But nothing can be done.

[Xiaomi 2]'s knife almost stabbed [Samsung I750] in the heart.

However, it did not meet any of Samsung's ambitions.

If there was no hand behind the scenes from the Android Alliance mediating and suppressing it, it would be impossible...

And why should we calm down the war between Zhang Yang and Samsung and let both sides coexist peacefully?
Is it really because Zhang Yang’s girlfriend is Qiao Taike’s daughter?
How can it be?

For the market?

It is indeed for the market and for the future of Android...

But, it’s not all…

But...

Many people see that behind the Zhangyang mobile phone, there is already a series of industries that are developing rapidly!

When Terry Gou opened his eyes, they were bloodshot and his gaze was looking into the distance.

"Join us! We need a market..."

He said these words heavily.

....................................

In the first half of 2009, the global photovoltaic industry can only be described as "dismal".

One after another...

From Europe and the United States to China, one company after another could not withstand the financial storms and collapsed.

In fact, the former polysilicon giant, the American [MEMC], which once cut off the lifeline of China's photovoltaic industry, also fell into a long period of industrial stagnation after the bleak European and American industries. Therefore, in the second half of the year, after the global financial storm was contained, the head of [MEMC] began to repeatedly call on the European Union in public, hoping to restart the photovoltaic system.

At the same time, news from the United States about [global warming], [ecological crisis], [carbon emissions], etc., gradually became popular around the world.

A true chess player needs global issues in order to control and even manipulate public opinion.

Capital needs these issues, and needs to make them concrete and turn them into industries!
As the market recovers, the demand for the global photovoltaic industry has finally been released again after being severely suppressed by the financial crisis.

On September 9, countries led by Germany began to restart the photovoltaic subsidy system and adjust photovoltaic electricity prices. On September 17, Spain, the Czech Republic and other countries began to follow Germany's example and introduced large subsidies for the photovoltaic industry overnight. Overnight, the entire European Union ushered in a [photovoltaic industry explosion]...

Previously, in order to reduce costs and protect themselves, countless European and American companies reduced their production capacity, and were unable to quickly expand production when demand was released and production needed to be expanded!
At this time of time...

The Chinese companies that survived in the photovoltaic industry have incredibly become the only choice for the photovoltaic industry in Europe, America, and the world...

In addition, because of the excellent confidentiality system, Western countries such as Europe and the United States, which control the raw materials of polysilicon, did not regard these "assembly plants" in China as competitors...

From September 9th to mid-November...

A group of photovoltaic industries led by Suzhou Deshang have restarted industries in many EU countries under the shocked eyes of everyone...

And they are familiar with the market and quickly occupied the entire European and American photovoltaic assembly system...

When many European and American people were still not aware of the situation, photovoltaic panels from China suddenly filled the streets and alleys...

....................................

"These Chinese people are crazy!"

"They work day and night. They are crazy, completely crazy!"

"Don't they need a rest?"

"Damn it, Chinese!"

"They are more than crazy. They are like a tireless buffalo, eating cheap grass but pushing more carts..."

"Our hourly wage has dropped from $20 per hour at the beginning of this year to $15 per hour, and today, we have adjusted the price again, down to $10 per hour..."

"And what about those damn Chinese people? You know, no matter how much money you give them, what can they do? Give them $5/hour, and they are so excited that they work very hard! Even the most exaggerated thing is that for some very tiring jobs, yes, very tiring jobs, they only pay $2/hour, yes, you read that right, they will do it for $2/hour!"

"Crazy! Completely crazy!"

"What kind of monsters have we recruited? Have they all taken stimulants?"

"..."

The Chinese are crazy!

When Chinese companies, led by Suzhou Deshang, re-entered the European and American markets at lightning speed...

Countless photovoltaic practitioners from Europe and the United States were shocked to see yellow-skinned figures, like old oxen, completely disregarding their image and starting to shuttle through the photovoltaic industry centers of the entire European continent, working tirelessly...

at first!

Seeing those Chinese people doing the dirty and tiring work that they don’t want to do.

They are very happy and welcome the success!
but……

Gradually, many local workers in Europe and the United States began to realize that something was wrong!
They found that their wages from September to December...

In these four months!
Descending madly!

From $20/hour, it dropped to $12/hour in December!

Income has dropped sharply...

Moreover, this sharp drop in income is not just coming from a few places...

Chinese companies and people are frantically conquering the market. In just three months, they have swept across most of the European photovoltaic market, turning the usually peaceful market upside down!

not only……

Countless European and American photovoltaic companies looked at this group of reckless Chinese people in shock!
……

“Their prices are cheaper than ours!”

"Their labor costs are cheaper than ours, and the photovoltaic modules they export are better than ours!"

"The production is bigger than ours and the service is faster than ours!"

"If we continue like this, we won't be able to hold on!"

"We can't let those Chinese photovoltaic companies expand in our country anymore, otherwise we will have no food to eat!"

"In our country, nearly half of the photovoltaic industry is facing difficulties in making profits!"

"..."

12 month 1 day.

winter!

Terrick, head of marketing at the German local photovoltaic company [SUN], hurried into the office.

Immediately afterwards...

Submitted a document!
When the boss of [SUN] company saw this information, he looked at the data in disbelief.

He found that those German photovoltaic companies that reduced their production capacity survived global crises such as the financial crisis!

Surprisingly, after the financial crisis subsided and the global photovoltaic industry gradually recovered, it was the right time to make a lot of money...

Three months!
More than half of them have gone bankrupt!

Not just Germany...

Even other countries’ domestic industries…

Overnight, we suffered an unprecedented huge impact!
