Chapter 103: 1 Wave Is Not Flat
At the Altice Group headquarters, after learning that the people from the Army Ant Company had returned to China, Kang Bomin was in a bad mood.
Originally, the cooperation with Army Ant Company was almost completed.
The second-generation butterfly eye phone, which he has used, especially the smart assistant, is a very useful piece of software. It can make people say goodbye to the era of hand-controlled mobile phones. Coupled with the exquisite appearance of butterfly eyes, it is a grade higher than that of Apple mobile phones.
If they reach a cooperation with Army Ant, their Altice Group will definitely be able to gain more market share in the communication market.
As a result, at the last moment, the board of directors did not agree with this cooperation, and even asked him to request the acquisition of the shares of Army Ant Company.
They all underestimated the determination of Army Ant.
The acquisition of shares, as soon as it was proposed, was rejected without hesitation. The people from the Army Ant Company returned to China overnight, and they didn't even want 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.
The news of the failure of the cooperation between the Army Ant Company and the Altice Group soon spread back to China.
During this period of time, the development of the army ants is too fast, and the domestic market share of the high-end mobile phone market has been continuously expanded, and now it is ready to enter the international market. The failure of the army ant's trip to Europe has also become the focus of media attention. The European media has just spread the news, and the domestic media has already reported it.
"The pace of internationalization of army ants is hindered" - Globe.
Europe Fears Invasion of Eastern Army Ants! 》——Financial News
"Reuters: Altice Group and Army Ant's Partnership Failed" - Phoenix News.
On the Internet, various articles appeared, and experts in various fields also appeared, and began to comment on the failure of the cooperation of the Army Ant Company.
The marching ants came all the way, and the road was very smooth. This was the first time I encountered refusal to cooperate, and it was the first step to go abroad.
In recent years, the domestic market situation has become rigid, and major markets have been occupied by major giants. It is more difficult for small businesses to enter the market.
The suddenly appearing army ants, like a ferocious group of ants, smashed from left to right, breaking this rigid situation abruptly. Among young entrepreneurs, Army Ant has become a legendary benchmark.
Now the Army Ant Company is a miracle in the development of domestic companies. Every move is under the spotlight of the media. This trip of Army Ant Company to Europe is the first time that Army Ant Company encountered a wall.
This means that the time for Army Ant to enter the international market will be slowed down.
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 up.
"President Zhao, why did the Altice Group refuse to cooperate with you?"
"May I ask how the Army Ant Company will develop in the next step?"
"Will Army Ant cooperate with other telecom operators?"
"Excuse me, 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, ignoring whether Zhao Min heard them.
Zhao Min quietly looked at the reporter who was blocked by the security guard outside the car window.
She also didn't expect that the failure of their cooperation with the Altice Group would actually be reported, and it was also reported back to China.
But it didn't affect them much.
Army Ant is not a listed company and will not be affected by public opinion and stock market fluctuations. This is only the first failure to enter the international market, and it does 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, the information you need has been found." Girl Mo's tender voice sounded.
Chen Mo watched several documents pop up on the desktop, all of which were European telecom operators and European consortium families.
Vofunda, France Telecom, Orange, Deutsche Telekom, Altice.
All are the telecom companies involved in blocking their access to the European market this time. These companies almost monopolize the major telecommunications markets in Europe.
All the European telecommunications companies refuse to cooperate with them. There is definitely something strange in this. After Mo Nu got the information through monitoring and investigation, things seemed to be a little clearer.
Behind the major operators, there are still the shadows of several large consortia.
They were just trying to enter the European market when they were targeted by these oligarchs. Sure enough, it is the land of capital, the water is unimaginably deep.
At present, in a short period of time, I am afraid that it will not be able to enter the international market. After all, the outside world is a world controlled by capital, and if there are interests, those oligarchs will definitely scramble for it.
"Brother Mo, Zhao Min is here, and he is already outside the experimental area." While Chen Mo was looking at the materials, Mo Nv interrupted him.
Zhao Min just walked into Chen Mo's office. Chen Mo was already sitting on the sofa. Seeing her come in, Chen Mo pointed to the seat opposite.
"Why don't you take a day off?" Chen Mo asked.
"One day off is enough. There are a lot of things going on in the company now." Zhao Min took a sip of the water brought by the robot and leaned on the sofa.
"I'm a little unwilling this time. I was about to sign a contract, but I was temporarily changed. Now that the news has leaked, they should have done it on purpose."
"It's fortunate that the contract has not been signed yet. If they find trouble again after the contract is signed, things will be even more troublesome." Chen Mo said: "During this period of time, we should develop domestically first, and don't need to think about the international market for the time being."
In the high-end mobile phone market, the main markets at present are China, North America and Europe. The European market is now inaccessible, and the North American market, even less likely.
In many areas, it is a capital monopoly market.
Most of the market resources are controlled by big capital and big financial groups. If there is anything that is not in their interests, they will use this monopoly power and threaten to kill them.
"There is no way to get out during this period of time. In the foreign capital market, unless enough benefits are given to feed those jackals. Otherwise, it is more difficult for us outsiders to enter the game than we imagined." Zhao Min said.
She knows more about capital than Chen Mo.
In the past few years, newly emerging companies have either been blocked or acquired, or they have been controlled by shares, and they cannot escape the palms of several giants.
At the beginning, Chen Mo was reluctant, but now Marching Ant Company is only the end of the acquisition.
The domestic market is regulated by the government, and occasionally some companies can expand. Like the sudden emergence of food delivery apps and shared bicycles, they still cannot escape the palms of several giants.
Outside, those capitals are more unscrupulous.
The big capital structure in the West has been solidified. Once there is a threat, they will be strangled and eaten together.
Either surrender or die.
If the Army Ant Company was outside at the beginning, I am afraid that it would have been eaten to the bone. Now, whether at home or abroad, there are many big capitals staring at the equity of the marching ant company.
"You robot, when are you going to let it out for people to see?" Zhao Min pointed to the robot behind Chen Mo.
This robot is a good thing. If it can be launched into the market, it will undoubtedly be a huge shock, and it will definitely detonate global topics.
Chen Mo looked back at the robot: "It's still early. Its hardware and software technologies are not fully mature. A lot of data is still being tested, and it is temporarily impossible to bring it to the market."
The robot is now controlled by Mo Nv, and it is easy for Mo Nv to write a smart software, but there are still big problems in terms of hardware, especially in terms of batteries and chips.
"Okay, tell me when it's technically mature."
After explaining some things about the company to Chen Mo, Zhao Mincai left Chen Mo's office.
Time passed slowly, and the failure of the cooperation between Army Ant Company and Altice Group gradually faded with time.
It's just that the heat of this wave has just subsided, and another storm hits again.
