"I have discussed with all three telecom operators. SPRIEL is the most enthusiastic about introducing our products. AT&T and VERIAZON also expressed their willingness to cooperate, but they also stated that the current policy is unclear and they still need to wait for notification from the US Federal Communications Commission."
SPRIEL, whose Chinese name is Sprint, is the third-ranked telecommunications operator in the United States, with a market capitalization of approximately US$26 billion. Above it is VERIAZON, the second-ranked operator with a market capitalization of nearly US$26 billion. 200 billion US dollars, and the market value of the number one AT&T (American Telephone and Telegraph Company) has reached 230 billion US dollars.
The U.S. mobile phone market is completely different from that in China. When Chinese people buy mobile phones, they first look at the mobile phone brand and then choose which operator. Americans, on the other hand, are accustomed to buying products from operators directly. Operators account for more than 90% of the market. Without operator support, there is no need to talk about sales of mobile phones.
Lu Zixin frowned and said: "It seems that there is no point in contacting any operator for this matter."
In fact, before Hongxin was ready to enter the U.S. market, American telecom operators had already approached us and asked for cooperation. The market potential of Hongxin intelligent products is obvious to all. The Chinese market and the island country market have fully proved this.
For telecom operators, they can make money no matter what kind of mobile phone they sell, so they are naturally very happy.
But for the US market, the entry of Hongxin Group is completely on another level.
Su Zhirong nodded and analyzed: "If our products enter the U.S. market, it will definitely have a huge impact on the U.S. market. The first is the mobile phone industry. The annual profits created by Apple alone in the United States are greater than the annual tax revenue of some countries. high!"
"If Apple and other mobile phone companies are defeated by us in the U.S. market, the U.S. economic system will be greatly affected. There will also be a huge impact on the mobile phone chip industry, companies such as Qualcomm and Broadcom, and smart services will impact Google and Microsoft..."
"Our products and services cover almost half of the Internet industry, and behind these companies are the big capitalists and politicians in the United States. They are definitely not happy to see Red Letter enter the U.S. market."
Su Zhirong has not yet talked about the seriousness of the problem. For consumers, it is nothing more than an issue of one more mobile phone to choose from.
But now the influence of the Red Letter Group is no longer a mobile phone issue, but an issue related to the entire American economy!
How influential are big companies? Companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Samsung even surpass many countries in the ranking of world economies!
That’s right, the influence of large companies on economic behavior is more powerful than that of many countries!
Apple's annual IPHONE sales account for about 0.3% of the U.S. GDP. For example, after Apple announced that it would gradually transfer more than 200 billion U.S. dollars overseas to the U.S. market, the President of the United States even immediately called Apple's president to thank him. However, he praised his contribution to the American economy.
Samsung Group's annual turnover accounts for 20% of the entire Koryo country's GDP. Its revenue is related to the economic development of the entire country, ranking among the top 50 economies in the world... and so on.
If Red Letter is as invincible in the US market as it is in the island country market, the impact will be immeasurable, and Wall Street capitalists may queue up to jump off the building.
In view of this, the big capitalists and government officials in the United States are wary of Hongxin Group and do not dare to easily allow Hongxin to enter the U.S. market.
Su Zhirong asked tentatively: "How about we temporarily put down the American market and explore the European market?"
Lu Zixin thought for a while and said: "The current Hongxin only has some influence in China and surrounding areas. If you want to expand globally, you must enter the North American market. The United States and Canada are the two most important countries in the North American market. , the attitude of the U.S. market towards us also represents the attitude of the Canadian market.”
"I'll think about this again."
Lu Zixin did not want to compromise so easily. The Americans were afraid that they would impact the high-tech industry in the United States and wanted to protect their own companies and markets. Are they just allowed to make money all over the world
But the actual situation is very complicated. The United States is no better than China. In China, Hongxin is a domestic enterprise and is protected by its own policies. But when it comes to the United States, they are a huge threat to foreign companies and are excluded from policies.
Of course, this situation is also unique to Hongxin Group. Because other companies entering the U.S. market have little competitiveness in technology and market and can easily pass the review. Only Hongxin is the leader in technology and has a completely different nature.
…
In the past few days, Lu Zixin has specially approved a new procurement plan to purchase a total of fifteen private small business aircraft from two aircraft companies at one time, with an estimated purchase amount of one billion yuan.
The most expensive thing is that Lu Zixin prepared a Gulfstream private jet for himself, which costs about 250 million Chinese dollars. The rest are business jets arranged for company executives to facilitate their travel.
This price is not a top-notch luxury aircraft. The main reason is that Lu Zixin is reluctant to spend more than a billion to buy those luxury aircraft. He always feels that the performance of these aircraft is just like this. If a big boss in the group gives one as a gift, the performance will definitely be higher than this. too much.
After the aircraft is purchased, it also needs to be equipped with a dedicated private pilot and flight attendants, which are all arranged by the company.
Before his private plane arrived, Lu Zixin went to the United States first. In a few days, the Federal Communications Commission of the United States will approve the product application of the Red Letter Group, and he needs to meet with a few people first.
The first one is Gru, the current president of AT&T.
AT&T is headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Its predecessor was the Bell Telephone Company. Bell was not "the top of the food chain" Bear Grylls, but Alexander Bell, who was known as the father of the telephone.
This company has been leading the world since historical times, and is still the world's leading telecommunications operator, ranking among the top ten most valuable companies in the world! It can be said to be a giant beast in the world economic market!
In the imposing AT&T headquarters building, Lu Zixin met Gru. He is about forty years old, has short black hair, a suit, and a white shirt, and is dressed in a traditional workplace elite style. This man is at the helm of a large multinational company worth hundreds of billions, and his abilities cannot be underestimated.
"Nice to meet you, dear Mr. Lu." Gru shook hands with him. He did not speak Chinese, but the translator function of Lu Zixin's mobile phone perfectly solved this problem.
"I'm honored too." Lu Zixin sat across from him. After a brief exchange, he began to discuss company affairs.
