Chapter 226 "God" Comes to the Door
"Yes." Shen Fei continued to hug him. "The reason we've been so successful in the European market is largely thanks to the fruit signal gate problem."
Qualcomm sold them substandard products, and they had to put up with it. Because besides Qualcomm, Infineon was equally unreliable.
But now…
Shen Fei smiled and said, "We do."
Zhang Mingzhu finally understood: "So, it wasn't an invitation to America at all, but rather that he was preparing to come to China."
Then find a way to save face.
"Yes." Shen Fei gently helped her to the sofa next to him. "Reply to him with an email, using my personal account. Be polite."
I told him I'd be waiting for him in Guangzhou on November 10th.
Half a day later, at the fruit headquarters.
Cook saw the message while he was holding a supply chain meeting.
He looked at the line in the email: "November 10th, Guangzhou, Transsion headquarters, welcome Mr. Tim Cook to visit."
Other executives came over for a look, and their expressions changed.
"Tim, they want you to go to China? That's too much..."
"Too much?" Cook stared at them...
The supply chain manager hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't bring himself to do it.
Why should they attach such importance to a backward place like China? They should be the ones eagerly coming to visit us; that's already a huge favor to them.
result……
"They're really disrespecting us. You're the new CEO of Fruit, shouldn't they be the ones coming to America to see you?"
"A bunch of rude bastards, I heard they're pretty much like the mafia."
"Mr. Cook, please reconsider."
Cook smiled and ignored their so-called face.
In the business world, face is the most useless thing; only real financial benefits matter.
Do you know Transsion's current market capitalization?
The group of people were all stunned for a moment, then stared at each other, trying to find the answer to the question on each other's faces.
What is Transsion's market capitalization?
However, this problem was too obscure, and they had not studied it at all.
"It shouldn't be that high, right? A few billion at most?"
"Although it has not yet gone public and most of its business is under the name of Huaxin Investment, Wall Street still values them at $300 billion."
Moreover, they hold our most important possessions.
"Communication baseband." The supply chain manager completely abandoned his dismissive attitude.
"Communication baseband, and batteries." Cook picked up the teacup on the table and carefully tasted the top-quality tea from the East.
He prefers coffee to tea. Coffee is his daily fuel, and he needs to drink many cups every day to stay awake.
Buying Starbucks on his way to work seems to have become a regular habit for him.
At today's meeting, he unusually switched his beverage to tea. After sipping a cup, he continued analyzing the work.
"Commonly used high-density batteries perform 30% better than ours in low-temperature environments."
A new trend has emerged in some areas: going out in winter means losing contact with the outside world, while Transsion can still function normally in low temperatures.
This has already impacted our sales by 20%, and if things don't change, that impact could reach 40%. You should understand what that means.
The supply chain manager nodded cautiously; he certainly understood what this meant.
Cook did not wait for their reply.
"This means that the Fruit will no longer automatically shut down in winter. This problem has existed since the first generation of Fruit and has not been solved yet. Transsion, on the other hand, solved it a long time ago."
They just didn't advertise, and delivered the most painful blow at the most opportune moment, leaving us with no choice but to accept their overpriced batteries.
The supply chain manager quickly admitted his mistake, as it was indeed his fault.
But they couldn't refuse, because refusing would mean that the myth that originally belonged to the fruit would completely become a myth of sound transmission.
And they will be phased out along with Nokia...
Of course, there will be some difference in time.
Cook picked up his coat: "Get ready."
November 9th, Feiyang City. They're not pushovers. Prepare a plan; I don't want us to lose so badly.
"Achoo!"
Shen Fei, far away in Guangzhou, suddenly sneezed. He felt like someone was cursing him, but lately, apart from preparing a small plan, there hadn't been anything else.
That toy wasn't even targeting a competitor, so why are they criticizing it?
……
November 10th, Guangzhou, Transsion headquarters.
Shen Fei arrived at the company early.
He wore a dark blue suit today, which Zhang Mingzhu helped him put together. As for Zhang Mingzhu, she is currently still in bed, discussing and studying with the Duke of Zhou (a figure in Chinese mythology associated with sleep). As her pregnancy progresses, she is getting more and more sleepy.
It's rare to see Shen Fei wearing formal attire within Transsion, as he usually wears casual clothes. His special suit today shows how much he values this meeting.
But it wasn't out of nervousness, it was out of respect.
Tim Cook is the CEO of Fruit, and Steve Jobs' successor. Regardless of how Transsion develops, Fruit will remain the industry leader.
Only by respecting them can we better exploit them?
Cook: Some things can actually be said more simply...
Around 10 a.m., three black cars parked downstairs at the headquarters of Chuanying.
Cook got out of the second car.
He was a bit thinner than in the photos, and today he was wearing the same signature blue shirt and jeans, with a dark gray suit jacket over them.
He had a smile on his face, but his eyes were constantly probing.
"Mr. Cook, welcome to Transcend."
"Mr. Shen, I've long admired your name."
In Silicon Valley, everyone wants to know what kind of person the owner of Transsion really is.
"Now you see?" Shen Fei said with a smile.
Cook scrutinized it carefully for a while longer.
"They are younger than I imagined. The fact that they can lead a team to create such a product proves that we are old and don't understand the aesthetics of young people anymore."
Shen Fei smiled and led him into the building.
The first stop on the tour was Transsion's design center. After all, this is where Cook needs the most.
Of course, this is the most secure area in the entire industrial park, with security gates, fingerprint recognition, and iris scanning at the entrance.
No mobile phones, computers, or USB drives are allowed inside.
Cook looked at the security equipment and said seriously, "It seems what I'm looking at is very important."
Shen Fei didn't speak, but opened a metal door.
This is the chip exhibition area, which also receives customers from other companies.
The real focus is in the cleanroom next door.
"This is our design center for the Taishan series chips," Shen Fei said, pointing to the display cases. "Currently, we have four teams."
The 9-series team is responsible for high-end chips, the 6-series team is responsible for mid-range chips, and the 4-series team is responsible for low-end chips.
Another team is working on communication baseband.
Cook walked up to a display stand and examined the communication baseband inside.
"Is this your next-generation communication baseband?"
