There is a "last mile" bottleneck problem in the local telephone business. This natural monopoly makes it difficult to break the monopoly of local telephones.
The long-distance business is different, the market share of the monopoly att is constantly being eroded.
Therefore, it is generally believed that the long-distance telephone business is competitive.
So it's not unreasonable for att investors to be worried when Li Zetian took over the sprint company. The establishment of optical fiber communication network will greatly impact att's long-distance telephone market and break its monopoly pattern. Sprint company will also replace mci company as the number one enemy of att!
The att company may be too nervous now. Since the news of Li Zetian's acquisition of sprint company has been spread, meetings have been held almost every day to discuss countermeasures. When the news reached Li Zetian's ears, he couldn't help laughing: "I'm going, didn't I just buy a telecommunications company, is it necessary for att company to hold meetings every day? Is it aimed at me like this?"
Li Zetian strolled leisurely in the courtyard, the spring breeze in March was like a bath, smelling the fragrance of grass and dust in the air, it was very intoxicating.
The layout of Galaxy and the telecommunications industry has just begun, and the next task is very heavy, facing challenges from all sides. However, as long as it develops step by step, it is not afraid of other competitors. Li Zetian doesn't know much about these industries, so he doesn't get involved much, and he only cares about the direction of development.
Back in the room, Li Zetian opened the safe and took out a booklet, which recorded many things in his previous life, but they were encrypted in a special way, so only Li Zetian could understand it. He racked his brains to write down what he remembered in his previous life, lest he forget it after a long time.
"Dell was founded in 1984?"
Li Zetian read the booklet for a while, then closed it again and put it in the safe.
At this time, he had a calculation in his heart.
Dell went the low-cost direct sales route and made a fortune simply by assembling computers. This model is generally referred to as the "direct business model" in the United States, that is, Dell establishes a set of channels to contact customers, and the customer sends orders directly to Dell. The order can list the required configuration in detail, and then Dell "Make to Order".
The "direct selling model" is essentially to simplify and eliminate middlemen, reduce the price of products to the lowest level, and win the love of customers.
The direct selling model is generally not favored, and people prefer dealers because dealers can quickly distribute products!
However, it is precisely this kind of direct sales model that is not optimistic, so that Dell has soared into the sky in just a few years, and has become a computer manufacturer comparable to ibm, apple, hp, Compaq and other computers.
Now Dell is still in its infancy, and Li Zetian does not intend to acquire it. Now that you know how Dell developed, you can do it yourself.
"What's the name of the company?" Li Zetian lay on the chair, worrying about thinking of a company name.
"Cronos Computer? No, your name can't be that cheap..."
"Shenzhou Computer? There seems to be this company in a previous life?"
Yu Jingqiu came over with a glass of juice and handed it to Li Zetian.
"What are you thinking? Look at you constantly muttering there."
"You came just in time. You said, what's the name of the cheap computer?"
"Cheap computer?" Yu Jingqiu was taken aback, as far as she knew, Apple has always been a high-end computer.
Li Zetian took a sip of juice and explained, "I plan to build a new computer company to do low-cost direct sales. When customers place an order, the required configuration can be listed in detail in the order, so as to provide customers with "tailor-made" services!" Li Zetian smiled. He smiled and said, "Products that meet the needs of users are bound to win the love of users! I estimate that if such a computer company is created, the market value should be able to reach tens of billions of dollars..."
When Yu Jingqiu heard the words, his face was stunned. He said that a company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars was so understated that it was as easy as drinking plain water.
Li Zetian saw the look of doubt on Yu Jingqiu's face, so he scratched her nose and said, "What? Don't you believe it?"
"Of course I believe you, but I think it's a bit incredible!" Yu Jingqiu hooked Li Zetian's neck with both hands, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile, "Didn't you say, let me name you? Since Apple is also To produce computers, then this new company is called Mango Company?"
Li Zetian heard the words, a black line appeared on his forehead, and smiled bitterly: "Speaking of my wife, can we be more serious about choosing a name?"
"Why aren't you serious? Apples and mangoes are both fruits. Apple can be called, but mango can't be called?"
"Well, as long as you like it, it's a happy decision. Mango Company is actually a nice name, and it's easier to remember!" Li Zetian kissed Yu Jingqiu's mouth and said.
"It's really called Mango Company? I was joking just now..." At this moment, Yu Jingqiu was stunned for a moment and said.
"Since my wife has named it, of course I will take it seriously and call it Mango Company!" Li Zetian laughed.
In the future, the famous mango company decided because of such a joke. If it was said, it would be unbelievable.
In the next month or so, Li Zetian began to prepare for the establishment of a mango company.
Li Zetian's shot must be a big one.
The registered capital of Mango is as high as 100 million US dollars, and the start is very high. I am afraid that Dell has not yet developed, and the market will be replaced by Mango.
In addition, Mango can have a common supplier of spare parts with Apple and Sun Microsystems to carry out unified purchases. The larger the scale, the greater the right to speak, the lower the price of the goods, thereby reducing the cost to a minimum. All three companies are very favorable.
Mango and Apple will not have too much competition. One will go to the low-end market, and the other will go to the high-end market to conduct differentiated competition. Un Microsystems develops workstations, servers, minicomputers and supercomputers, and the competition with Mango and Apple is even smaller.
At this time, Li Zetian began to consider producing computer-related hardware products such as monitors, cameras, and power supplies by himself, so as to make money and reduce costs again.
In fact, a lot of hardware, enterprises under Li Zetian's name have been able to produce.
For example, Intel can produce processors and memory sticks.
Seagate Technologies manufactures hard drives, flash memory, floppy disks, and more.
Monitors, computer motherboards, cameras, etc. are the businesses that Li Zetian urgently needs to develop next, especially monitors and cameras, which are of great value.
April Fool's Day, Mango Company officially opened.
TV, newspapers, buses, train stations, airports, schools, etc. are all advertising Mango. In the advertisements, the incredibly low computer prices were so shocking that many people thought it was an April Fool's Day event by a company to deceive everyone.
"Optional configuration, low-cost direct sales, even an assembled computer as cheap as $199. Mango is not a liar, right? Shit, I suddenly remembered that today is April Fool's Day, no wonder... "
