Chapter 132: Fighting on the first line, crushing the last straw of the camel

"Neon boys also work overtime every day." When waiting for the elevator, Ping Yuying said to Luo Jia, "If one day the gentleman goes home early, the wives will still complain and feel that the husband is not valued by the company and the man who does big things You have to work overtime every day. "
"I do n’t understand, anyway, since I remembered, my father just came home late at night every day, drinking alcohol, I think that ’s not good, but my mother said that his father was very hard-working, he had a heavy workload and was off work It's hard work, and she's proud. "
Luo Jia pouted, "I've heard of it. Neon has an overtime culture similar to obsessive-compulsive disorder, but this is different. This is the frontline of our company's war."
"War? The front line?" Hiraha Sakura tilted her head and gave an incredible expression.
Luo Jia explained, "The war between us and Google is not over. Only Star Search belongs to consumers and merchants. The rest are for partners and do not need to open up the market."
"Only different here. Although we withdrew from the Americas and Oceania markets, we still compete with Google in Asia, in Europe, do a lot of promotion, and compete for advertisers."
Ping Yuying understood Luo Jia's meaning. The main profit model of the search engine is advertising. Customers have been accustomed to advertising on Google search and want them to trust the newly established Star Search. It takes a lot of time to win customer approval.
The reason why Star Search is independent is precisely because of the need for competition. After all, the headquarters is a pure R & D institution, the atmosphere is too relaxed, and there is no fixed working time.
The laid-back environment can stimulate everyone's creativity, but it is not the ideal working place for competitive teams. Business development requires such wolfiness and ambition.
As a result, Luo Jia separated the most capable group in the Software Corps and made them responsible for the rest of the search war with Google.
Guo Guangyin and Tang Jie are in charge here. Among them, Guo Guangyin graduated from Fudan and first joined the company. He then worked with Luo Jia as a cell phone assistant.
Tang Jie graduated from Princeton, and once served as the Deputy Director of Advertising on Twitter. He is an overseas marketing expert.
It was already past ten o'clock, and the star search was still brightly lit. Most of my colleagues had already returned, but some of them stayed to work overtime.
Luo Jia's arrival caused a stir. In their eyes, Luo Jia is the legend of the company, and even the legend of Huaxia.
On weekdays, Luo Jia often came to the stars to search, but this time he brought Hirawa Sakura, which made his colleagues very surprised, and Hirawa Sakura was very scared and bowed to everyone.
"Girlfriend?" Tang Jie glanced at Ping Yuying and asked Luo Jia.
"No, ordinary friends." Luo Jia said.
He asked Ping Yuying to wait outside, then went into the office with Tang Jie and Guo Guangying to listen to their report.
Star Search is currently inextricably linked with Google, and it can be said that it is an indispensable place.
Google has four main businesses. Android has been quickly killed by Xingchen Technology. Because the mobile browser has no system support, it has also lost to Xingchen Technology. However, on the computer side, Google's chrome browser still occupies a dominant position.
In addition, their Youtube video business is like Rizhongtian, and the search engine business has an advantage, but the market share is being quickly eroded by Star Search. As for businesses such as Google Maps, because of their lack of revenue, they are not their core interests.
The search engine market is not so good. Although Star Search is significantly stronger than Google in technology, old customers have inertia, and it is not easy to switch over for a while.
At present, Xingchen's strategy is based on Huaxia and Xutuzhi.
Huaxia, with a population of 1.3 billion, is the world's largest single market. It operates properly and can earn a lot of profits. With profits, it is possible to fight a long-term battle with Google in the world.
Of course, Star Search is not as exhaustive as Baidu. In order to make money regardless of everything, Star Search has a long-term view regardless of the number or choice of advertising. It does not intend to slaughter his hometown father as a fat sheep. Pay attention to word of mouth accumulation.
All in all, Star Search has great potential, an important that Luo Jia used to compete for the tens of billions of dollars of search advertising market worldwide.
If you look closely at the organizational structure of Xingchen Technology, you will find that all the independently operated branches are all profitable, and the display, electrical, optical, chemical, battery, search, and six branches have very strong ability to make money.
The Xingchen Technology Headquarters is a purely cost-effective organization. Without any assessment pressure, everyone can carry out their favorite research, even if it is whimsical, it only needs to give full play to their talents and imagination. meaning.
Now that he is independent, Luo Jia will not intervene in the operation of Star Search unless necessary. He listened to the current situation, and then made some suggestions before getting up to go home.
Hiraha Sakura was already asleep on the sofa, her small body curled up, like a lazy cat.
From Boston to Shanghai, she flew for more than twenty hours. In fact, she was also very hard. She was forced to go shopping with Luo Jia, but Luo Jia brought a branch ...
Luo Jia awakened her softly and then took a taxi home.
...
Seoul.
In a silently suffocating conference room, Samsung ’s president, Lee Jae-hyun, LG ’s president, Ku Guangmo, and Hyundai ’s president announced that these big brothers, who were not so excited recently, vowed to fight for the hegemony of the battery and even the automotive industry. , The face is as dead as ash.
Just a few hours ago, news came from Jiangnan Hospital. After nearly a month of struggle and rescue, Cui Guanglin was still dead.
Cui Guanglin is the young man who was severely burned in the head during the explosion at Ulsan Base. He is 25 years old and is a test engineer of Hyundai Group.
Originally, Cui Guanglin, an ordinary commoner, should not have any intersection with the chaebols, but at this moment, the son of a local fisherman born in Ulsan has become the last straw that crushes the chaebols.
He died, and the battery accident eventually killed people. It is conceivable that the news will be overwhelming tomorrow morning.
You don't even have to wait until tomorrow, the global online media has already begun the crazy attack on the Korean delegation.
Xuan stood up and bowed to everyone present, "Sorry, it's all my fault! I'm willing to bear all the consequences of the accident!"
As the leader of Hyundai Group, Xuan can say such things, it is not easy.
But Prince Li Zaiyu just said coldly, "Can you bear it?"
Suddenly, Xuan felt a blank brain and sat back stiffly.
Xuan's aggressiveness has not only involved Hyundai Group, but even implicated the entire South Korea.
According to economists' predictions, due to the continuous failure of these big chaebols, Samsung Group, LG Group, Hyundai Group, SK Group, and Dongjin Chemical Group, will cause the Korean economy to officially enter recession starting this year.
Xuan certainly cannot afford such serious consequences.
Li Zaijing said calmly, "The only thing we can do now is to quit the battery competition and sell the factory."
"The only way to calm this storm."
Gu Guangmo suddenly leaned back and sighed.
To this day, they have already understood that things are not as simple as they seem. As long as Samsung and LG do not withdraw for a day, the European and American powers will not let them go, and they will use the power of public opinion to destroy them.
In fact, for a large group like Samsung, batteries are just a small business.
However, behind the battery, there is a huge automobile industry involved. Once the upstream battery manufacturing companies withdraw from the competition, the downstream enterprises must use imported batteries to build cars. Imported batteries will cause increased costs, and other people will get stuck.
Gu Guangmo said, "The only question now is who the factory is for."
"Huaxia Xingchen Technology's bid is relatively high, I think ..."
He just said here, Li Zaiyu suddenly smashed the table severely, gritted his teeth, and said, "Don't mention Xingchen Technology with me!"
Gu Guangmo shrugged, "Okay, neon, North America, Germany, is basically a two-choice question. As for the United Kingdom, I guess they are here to disrupt the game. Among all players, they are developing the next-generation battery technology. The least likely. "
Everyone said that they did not like Huaxia and they did not like neon.
Besides, Neon Panasonic is already the strongest battery manufacturer in the world. If you sell the factory to them, the output of the Panasonic Sony Alliance will even exceed that of the China Battery Alliance. In the principle of suppressing competitors, you should never The factory was sold to Neon.
In the end, the meeting ended in a depressing atmosphere.
Samsung's battery plant will accept North American offers.
LG's battery factory will accept German offers.
...
Luo Jia got the news a few hours before the agreement was signed. The owner Geely Lee revealed to him. As for the channel through which boss Li learned, it was his own problem.
An Ran frowned. "The Koreans have withdrawn. As a result, the world's major players have become four, us, Neon, Germany, and North America."
"Although the factory did not fall into our hands, UU read the book www.uukanshu.com, but Hong Tao's beautiful work this time forced North America and Germany to open up almost twice the price and put them a big bowl of blood."
Luo Jia shook his head. "It may not be the strength of our team. I'm afraid it is the British who really let them bleed. Don't underestimate the ability of the British to stir up. In this regard, they are the real experts."
Enron skimmed his lips. Indeed, when it comes to the ability to stir, the British rank second, and no one dares to call first.
He thought for a moment, "Boss Lee said just now that the reason why Panasonic and Sony Alliance have not released the fifth-generation product is that we are waiting for our electric car to go on the market? What benefits will this do for them?"
Luo Jia rubbed his temples. "Of course it's good. The neon abacus is fine."
"Our brand is here. We have to push the 300WH class and have a range of 600 kilometers, but Panasonic and Toyota Alliance have hidden cards."
"Suppose they release a new car with us at the same time, we push 600 kilometers of products, they push 800 kilometers of products, we push 800 kilometers of products, they push 1,000 kilometers of products, so that we can completely suppress us."
