Super Island Tycoon

Apple's internal meeting ended in a lament.

At the meeting, after several directors’ discussions, Cook finally announced that he would abandon several new Apple mobile phones under research and development, and instead unite with Samsung’s LCD display factory, and make every effort to develop flexible technology to shorten The gap between Emerald Island and the four major Chinese mobile phone manufacturers in flexible mobile phones.

When he made this decision, Cook said it almost in tears.

It's too useless!

As a senior manager who has worked in many world-renowned companies, Cook has never been so aggrieved.

This time he can be regarded as a complete failure in dealing with the changes brought about by flexible technology.

Of course, the more reason is that he did not clearly realize that the technological strength of Emerald Island is so strong that it can overcome the difficulties of flexible technology in just a few months, and finally unite with several major players in China. Potential mobile phone manufacturers have moved forward for several years with the advent of the era of flexibility in one fell swoop!

Only then did he know that Emerald Island was the enemy of Apple for life!

And for this, the price Apple paid is obviously very painful!

Directly interrupting the R&D process of the next few generations of Apple mobile phones will directly lead to the complete failure of Apple's business strategy for several years, and the resulting losses will be immeasurable.

Even if it is conservatively estimated, it will be more than tens of billions of dollars!

Secondly, the existing large amount of inventory will collapse due to the official sale of flexible mobile phones. Even if the price is greatly reduced, the loss will be heavy.

In addition, other supporting production line facilities and component reserves will also have to be abandoned.

Therefore, on the whole, the sudden advent of the era of flexible mobile phones will directly cause Apple's losses of more than 100 billion US dollars, which is absolutely devastating!

However, fortunately, after more than ten years of accumulation, Apple has a large amount of current reserves, which is life-saving for Apple, which is in a bad situation today.

After Cook announced at the conference that Apple officially entered a transition period, this once stood at the world's top technology company, had to enter the stage of the rise of Dongshan.

...

Compared with the tragic experience of Apple, Huawei and the other three Chinese mobile phone manufacturers are ushering in a period of rapid development. Regardless of order volume, market share, and company valuation, they have shown an explosive trend!

After Huawei entered the global sales stage, three mobile phone companies, Xiaomi, oPPo, and ViVo, have also launched their own mobile phone brands and fully expanded to the world market.

With the support of the second-generation flexible mobile phone production line on Emerald Island, the four companies have effectively solved the problem of mass supply, and their market share has all been increased exponentially.

Prior to this, the share of the four major mobile phone manufacturers was all concentrated in China. From a global perspective, the total number did not exceed 40%. This is still in the case of a large population in China.

However, when the four major mobile phone manufacturers rolled out to the world, they ushered in a full expansion.

In just a few months, the market share has exceeded 80%, and as the leader among them, Huawei, because of the first opportunity, has included 35% of the share, and has become the world's undoubtedly The number one mobile phone manufacturer is firmly in the dominant position!

And users who are still using mobile phone brands such as Apple and Samsung will gradually replace them with flexible mobile phones after facing problems such as mobile phone aging. Therefore, it can be expected that the market share of the four major mobile phone manufacturers will continue to gain Upgrade and continue to squeeze the living space of other mobile phone manufacturers.

This is devastating for the entire mobile phone company worldwide!

However, there is no alternative. The flexible mobile phone technology is all in the hands of Emerald Island. It is undoubtedly a huge problem to catch up and even surpass.

The technical barriers one after another are enough to make them fall on the way forward.

...

Compared to the battered Apple, Jiang Cheng at this time seemed much more relaxed.

Octopus Island.

102 meters under the sea, future ship laboratory

Through the sightseeing glass, Jiang Cheng looked at all kinds of fish on the bottom of the sea while tasting the wine in the glass, feeling uncomfortable.

The four major mobile phone manufacturers such as Huawei have grown up completely, and Jiang Cheng does not have to focus all of his attention on the development of flexible technology.

As the saying goes, it is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish.

After nearly a year of deployment, flexible technology finally blossomed, which not only defeated Samsung's biggest potential rival, but also thoroughly supported several major technology companies in China.

In this way, the allies of Emerald Island strengthened again.

In fact, after so long of experience, Jiang Cheng has deeply realized that it is necessary to integrate all the forces that can be used to develop and grow his own truth.

Relying on Emerald Island alone still seemed weak, especially at the current stage, when the surrounding powerful forces were trying their best to contain its growth.

This can be seen from the fact that the Han country dared to send a fleet to threaten Emerald Island.

Although in the end, Jiang Cheng relied on the secretly developed fleet to successfully destroy the enemy, but this also made Jiang Cheng deeply aware that the geographical location and narrow strategic space of Emerald Island really hindered Emerald Island from becoming a powerful force.

In fact, it is right to think about it. Even with such a small area, even with a strong military force, it will still appear extremely vulnerable when faced with a powerful fire attack from the enemy.

Therefore, after this incident, Jiang Cheng realized that it was time to expand the strategic space of Emerald Island.

Earlier, when Jiang Cheng developed the man-made island Nanyao Island, he secretly set a future development direction, that is, relying on the cutter suction dredger in his hand to build the island by blowing sand. Artificial islands have been created in the adjacent waters around the island.

In this way, the strategic space of Emerald Island can be greatly expanded!

Although the island area that can be increased in this way is not worth mentioning, it is tantamount to expanding the territorial sea area in disguise. As a result, the strategic space can be expanded geometrically!

The current Emerald Island, with Nanyao Island guarding the gate to the south, is no longer a concern.

But to the north and east, the doors are wide open, and we have to guard against.

You must know that in these two directions, there are threats from maritime powers such as Japan and the United States, so Jiang Cheng had to prepare in advance.

In particular, the continuous improvement of the technological level of Emerald Island has seriously threatened the core interests of Japan and the United States.

In addition, in the future, Jiang Cheng will have a large number of technology products to be launched worldwide, which will continue to have an impact on the entire world's technology companies.

In order to preserve these future scientific and technological achievements, Jiang Cheng feels that it is necessary to strengthen the land-based defense force of Emerald Island before this to prevent Japan and the United States from launching military threats to him like Han!
