At the Altice Group headquarters, Kang Bomin was not in a good mood after learning that the people from the Army Ant Company had returned to China.
Originally, the cooperation with Army Ant Company was almost completed.
He has used the second-generation Butterfly Eye mobile phone, especially the smart assistant, which is a very useful software. It allows people to say goodbye to the era of palm-controlled mobile phones. Coupled with the exquisite appearance of butterfly eyes, it is a higher level than Apple mobile phones.
If they reach a cooperation with Army Ant Company, Altice Group will definitely be able to use this to gain more market share in the communications market.
As a result, at the last minute, the board of directors actually disagreed with this cooperation and even asked him to request the acquisition of shares in the Marching Ant Company.
They all underestimated the determination of the Army Ant Company.
As soon as the acquisition of shares was brought up, it was rejected without hesitation. The people from the Army Ant Company returned home overnight and didn't even have the intention to continue negotiating with them.
He had a hunch that he might really lose a very important partner this time. With a sigh, Kang Bomin took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
News of the failure of the cooperation between Army Ant Company and Altice Group quickly spread back to China.
During this period, Army Ant has developed too fast. It has continuously expanded its market share in the high-end mobile phone market in China and is now preparing to enter the international market. The failure of the army ants' trip to Europe has also become the focus of media attention. The news just broke out in the European media, and it has been reported by various domestic media.
“The pace of internationalization of Army Ants is hindered”—Globe.
"Europe fears invasion of Eastern army ants!" 》—Financial News
"Reuters: Cooperation between Altice Group and Army Ant Company failed" - Phoenix News.
Various articles appeared on the Internet, and experts in various fields also appeared to comment on the failure of the March Ant Company's cooperation.
The marching ants came all the way smoothly. This was the first time they refused to cooperate, and it was the first step towards going abroad.
In recent years, the domestic market situation has become rigid, and all major markets have been occupied by major giants. It becomes more difficult for small businesses to enter the market.
The sudden appearance of army ants was like a group of fierce ants, clashing left and right, breaking this rigid situation abruptly. Among young entrepreneurs, Army Ant Company has become a legendary benchmark.
Now, Army Ant Company is a miracle in the development of domestic companies, and every move is under the spotlight of the media. This trip to Europe was the first time that Army Ant Company encountered a wall.
This means that Army Ant’s entry into the international market will be delayed.
At this time, outside the Army Ant Company, a group of reporters were waiting anxiously. Seeing Zhao Min's car approaching the company, a group of reporters swarmed over.
"President Zhao, may I ask why Altice Group refuses to cooperate with you?"
"How will the Army Ant Company develop next?"
"Will Army Ant also cooperate with other telecom operators?"
"When will Army Ant Company plan to go public? What do you want to say about the failure of this cooperation?"
All kinds of questions were shouted out, regardless of whether Zhao Min heard them.
Zhao Min quietly looked out the car window at the reporters who were blocked by security guards.
She also didn't expect that just one day after they came back, the news about their failed cooperation with Altice Group would actually come out, and even spread back to the country.
However, this matter did not have much impact on them.
Army Ant Company is not a listed company and will not be affected by public opinion and stock market fluctuations. This was just the first failure to enter the international market, and it did not have much impact on the domestic market.
After leaving many reporters, Zhao Min's car slowly entered the company.
Chen Mo's office area.
"Brother Mo, I found the information you need." Mo Nu's childish voice sounded.
Chen Mo looked at several pieces of information popping up on the desktop, all of which were about European telecom operators and European consortium families.
Vofunda, France Telecom, Orange, Deutsche Telekom, Altice.
These are all telecom companies involved in blocking their entry into the European market. These companies almost monopolize Europe's main telecommunications market.
European telecommunications companies all refuse to cooperate with them. There is definitely something fishy here. After Mo Nu obtained information through surveillance and investigation, things seemed a little clearer.
Behind the major operators, there are also the shadows of several large consortiums.
As soon as they wanted to enter the European market, they were targeted by these oligarchs. As expected, the land of capital is unimaginably deep.
At present, I am afraid that it will not be able to enter the international market in a short period of time. After all, the world outside is controlled by capital. If there are interests, those oligarchs will definitely compete for them.
"Brother Mo, Zhao Min is here and is already outside the experimental area." While Chen Mo was looking at the information, Mo Nu interrupted him.
Zhao Ming just walked into Chen Mo's office. Chen Mo was already sitting on the sofa. When he saw her coming in, Chen Mo pointed to the seat opposite.
"Why don't you take an extra day of rest?" Chen Mo asked.
"Just one day's rest is enough. The company has a lot of things to do now." Zhao Min took a sip of the water brought by the robot and leaned on the sofa.
"This time I was really unwilling. I signed the contract as soon as possible, but my words were temporarily changed. Now that the news has leaked out, they must have done it on purpose."
"We should be glad that we haven't signed a contract yet. If they make trouble again after signing the contract, things will be even more troublesome." Chen Mo said: "During this period, we will develop domestically first and don't think about the international market for the time being."
In the high-end mobile phone market, the current main markets are China, North America and Europe. The European market is now inaccessible, and the North American market is even less possible.
In many areas, there are capital monopoly markets.
Most of the market resources are controlled by big capital and conglomerates. If anything is not in their interests, they will use this monopoly power to kill the threat.
"There is no way to get out during this period. Unless the foreign capital market provides enough benefits to feed the wolves, it will be more difficult than expected for outsiders like us to enter the game," Zhao Min said.
She knows more about capital than Chen Mo.
In the past few years, newly emerging companies have either been blocked from acquisition or controlled by shares, and they cannot escape the hands of a few giants.
When Chen Moruo let go, now the Army Ant Company has just ended up being acquired.
The domestic market is regulated by the government, and occasionally some companies can become bigger. Food delivery apps and shared bicycles suddenly appeared, but they still cannot escape the hands of a few giants.
Outside, those capitals are even more unscrupulous.
The structure of big capital in the West has been solidified. Once a threat emerges, they will join forces to strangle and eat away at them.
Surrender or die.
If the Army Ant Company had been outside at the beginning, they would have been eaten to the bone. Now, both at home and abroad, there are many big capitals eyeing the equity of Marching Ant Company.
"When are you going to release this robot for people to see?" Zhao Min pointed at the robot behind Chen Mo.
This robot is a good thing. If it can be launched on the market, it will undoubtedly be a huge shock and will definitely ignite global topics.
Chen Mo looked back at the robot: "It's still early, its hardware and software technology are not fully mature. A lot of data is still being tested, and it is impossible to bring it to the market for the time being."
The robot is now controlled by Mo Nu. It is easy for Mo Nu to write intelligent software. However, there are still big problems in terms of hardware, especially batteries and chips.
"Okay, let me know when its technology matures."
After explaining some company matters to Chen Mo, Zhao Min left Chen Mo's office.
Time is slowly passing by, and the popularity of the failed cooperation between Army Ant Company and Altice Group is slowly fading over time.
But as soon as this wave of heat subsided, another storm struck again.
The update is late. There is one more update. Please watch it tomorrow morning. Don’t stay up late like me. Come to recommend, come to reward hehe.
