Global Monopoly of Technology

Chapter 682 [Soul torture from Luo Sheng]

"Mr. Luo, the resale of Azure-5 in Mexico must be stopped. If it continues like this, something big will happen sooner or later. Some people have already started speculating in futures." The head of Verizon finally brought the topic to his main concern. problem.

The gang of sub-traders on Wall Street saw the hot reselling trend in Mexico, with daily trading volume of hundreds of millions of dollars.

In fact, it is gambling, because the market may be a sudden news at any time, which will lead to a sharp downturn.

Several major operators in North America really want to cry, and this is what they say. The price of Auzre-5 due to the skyrocketing tariffs has not had much impact on their operations. The mentality that the deputy does not care about themselves is high, because their core profit does not depend on the mobile phone itself, but the package of the mobile phone contract.

Your Azure-5 sales have plummeted due to the skyrocketing price. Consumers can choose other brands such as iPhone and Samsung. My operator still sells contract machines, and profits will not fluctuate violently.

Well now, the Mexican side is selling frantically, new supply channels have appeared in the market, and operators still have less than half a cent of profits, so their own profits have to plummet.

You must know that the market in North America is so big, and the users who can be developed have basically been developed. Every time a consumer buys an Azure-5 from the black market, it means that one less customer buys a mobile phone from the operator channel. One less package contract.

Luo Sheng spread his hands helplessly and said, "Mr. Lowell, the special phenomenon of large-scale electrical product reselling in the Mexican market is obviously the result of the market's self-regulation of unreasonable tariffs. The market found that With the new price, do you want me to raise the price of products in other regional markets to the price range of the North American market? Then my company will have to explode in place the next day.”

"So, this is not something that my ability can prevent. I cannot fight against the market, otherwise I will be ruthlessly crushed to pieces. As long as the North American tariff on Azure-5 mobile phones is not reduced to a reasonable range, reselling will not disappear. This kind of chaos is a tragedy caused by human beings, I am also very sorry for your company's recent plummeting market value, you have put on a good leader."

After finishing speaking, Luo Sheng didn't forget to bury one sentence, it was bad enough.

These words make it clear that the labor and management will not care, and it is also hanging high. You go and tell the king, all of which are caused by him.

Luo Sheng looked at the internal data, and he could make more money after lowering the price. This was a bit of a show, and the outside world was surprised at first glance, but all this was within the company's internal expectations.

Because, reselling past Azure-5 mobile phones is equivalent to zero tariffs, which is equivalent to alternative dumping.

And it can further save labor costs and channel costs, all of which can be converted into higher company profits. Luo Sheng is considering whether to lay off employees in the North American company of the Côte d'Azur, especially those who have little technical content but are idle and get paid for nothing. physical store salesperson.

Reselling has entered a frenzy here. The performance of regular brick-and-mortar stores is dismal. One store has dozens of employees who have nothing to do when they are idle. Moreover, the wages of employees in North America are not expensive. An intern in a brick-and-mortar store has to pay $4,550 a month. The annual salary is as high as 54,600 US dollars, which is equivalent to an annual salary of 360,000 yuan.

This is only the treatment of interns. If it is not for the high profit maintenance of the Cote d'Azur, who can afford it?

No wonder it's one of the ten most popular companies in the world.

Facing Luo Sheng's embarrassed expression, it seemed reasonable and well-founded, but Lowell McAdam didn't believe it at all, and immediately said: "It is true that you are right, but technical means can be used to curb the resale trend in Mexico. , your company can completely lock the AOS system through technical means."

Luo Sheng replied calmly: "Yes, I can lock the area, but the question is...why should I do this?"

Lowell: "Because..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Lowell was stunned, staring at Luo Sheng blankly. Facing this soul-like torture, his mind was suddenly broken, and he didn't know what to say.

Only trading can solve the problem, but the question is, what bargaining chip to use to impress Luo Sheng?

Lowell also saw it, Luo Sheng is a master who doesn't see rabbits but not hawks. He is making a lot of money now, and it is impossible for him to pay for work in vain.

At the end, Lowell asked straight to the point: "OK, Mr. Luo, please tell me directly, what do you want?"

Can't you say that earlier?

Luo Sheng muttered in his heart, and he waited for this sentence until now, and suddenly said concisely: "What I want is very simple, CFD."

"CFD?"

Lowell McAdam looked back at the vice presidents of the major companies who were with him, then looked at Luo Sheng again and said, "Mr. Luo, are you sure you're not trying to embarrass me? You should go to Ansys. ."

Luo Sheng said: "But you can contribute, right? The only thing that interests me is industrial software. I only want CFD software, not the entire CAE software. This is not too much, isn't it? As long as you can play With your own influence and your superior resources, Ansys can provide me with a set of CFD talent training, everything is easy to say."

Is this not too much?

When the foreigners arrived at the scene, they could not wait to beat Luo Sheng to the gang. They were obviously greedy when they took advantage of the huge advantage and demanded more.

But they hate understanding Wang even more, obviously everything is fine, now they are stupid, the tax is levied, but in fact, the tariffs that fall into the pockets are less than before, not to mention that they put themselves in a passive position, let Luo Sheng Got a greater right to speak and bargaining chips.

The lively North American version lost the wife and broke the soldier series.

When the foreigners present heard that Luo Sheng wanted to ask Ansys to help him train CFD talents, they immediately thought of Star Arrow International.

The so-called CFD is the abbreviation of "Fluid Dynamics", which translates to Computational Fluid Dynamics.

This kind of simulation software needs to calculate the influence of air on the product when designing the shape of aircraft wings and automobiles. CFD is one of the extremely important applications. Now it has involved more aspects, such as the radiator of the chip and so on.

However, there is no CFD software in China at all, and it is basically pinched by Laomei.

Nowadays, CFD analysis has completely replaced experiments to involve industrial products, including Star Arrow International's rocket design, which requires CFD. If North America gets stuck in industrial simulation software, whether it is aircraft, automobiles, rockets, etc. and fluids in the future I am afraid that the design of related industrial products will have to go back to the blowing hole.

In this field, Ansys is the No. 1 company in the world. This company with a market value of more than 20 billion US dollars is today's global engineering simulation software super factory. In the process of creating many products, Ansys plays a crucial role. Its field covers biomedicine, science and technology, construction, aerospace and other fields. Almost all of the company's engineering simulation software is used to simulate various product designs and post-event verification to achieve rapid product entry into the market. and reduce costs.

Lowell McAdam sighed with a wry smile, and after a while, he put on the look of being unable to help himself in the rivers and lakes, and said, "Let's try our best to meet your requirements."

When one "we" said it, the dozen or so old outsiders behind him looked at each other, knowing that he was represented by Lowell.

But surprisingly, none of them objected.

Luo Sheng's happy and bright smile seems to be a little innocent. Compared with the foreigners in front of him, Luo Sheng feels that he is really a clear stream in the industry, and he highlights one characteristic - kindness.

This group of foreigners just sold Ansys as a bargaining chip, and they didn't even hesitate, and Ansys didn't even know about it.

At this point, Lowell added: "But we don't guarantee absolute success."

Luo Sheng also smiled and nodded in agreement: "Of course, nothing can be 100% sure of success, just do your best, I will understand, just as we can't absolutely guarantee that the reselling tide in Mexico will be completely contained, but We will try our best, and hope to understand, long live the understanding.”

Lowell: "..."

The speechless head of Verizon yelled at Luo Sheng in his heart. This is clearly a threat. If he can't get the CFD he wants, I'm sorry, I can't do anything about the reselling in Mexico.

Lowell understood that he must do his best to solve this problem. If you perfunctory things, Luo Sheng will perfunctory things too.
