When the news of Liu Chuanzhi being appointed as Taihua Holdings's CEO was reported, everyone was not surprised.
Li Mingde was the only one who was qualified to compete for this position. He was too old and will retire in another two years. Jiang Wanmeng was a technical maniac. He was the one who led the R&D team personally and did not even care about the management of Wind & Rain Electronics.
As for Wu Zhigang, he is too young and should be the successor. Duan Yongping, Xu Lihua, Li Jingwei, Sun Lijie, etc. were still inexperienced in Taihua Holdings.
Liu Chuanzhi was also a big shot in Hua Xia's IT industry. Many people felt Tai Hua Holdings had made a strategic adjustment to Tai Hua Holdings after he was promoted.
When Zong Qingxian was in charge of Taihua Holdings, Taihua Holdings had been expanding their sales channels. Zong Qingxian was considered the leader of Hua Xia's food and retail industries. Taihua Holdings's products were doing well.
Tai Hua Supermarket Group's debt ratio was getting lower, and their profits were getting higher. Their hypermarkets were also very successful. Just the rental of those stores was not a small amount, and many stores were not available.
Tai Hua Supermarket Group had stopped many international retail giants from entering Hua Xia and became one of the world's top retail companies. Many of Hua Xia's products were sold all over the world, and Zong Qingxian had played a big part in this.
But after Liu Chuanzhi took over, everyone was wondering if Taihua Holdings should increase its IT presence.
Both Lenovo Group and Lenovo Kingsoft had made a name for themselves in the world. Both of them had the capabilities to compete with the world's best in PC and software.
Taihua Holdings also owns many internet companies and Crystalline Silicon factories. Their IT capabilities were very strong.
It could even be said that their overall strength was already top-notch in the world's IT industry.
As a result, other IT companies became vigilant. They did not forget that Wind and Rain Holdings Group still had many IT industries.
If all of these joined forces, they would be even more powerful. It could be said that at this time, they did not need to contact any other companies. Just the companies under Feng Yu's two companies could produce a PC, and they could guarantee that the price would be very competitive.
They could tell that Feng Yu was planning to attack the IT industry.
These companies were very dissatisfied with this, but they couldn't say anything. Feng Yu was using two holding companies to control related companies. Even if it was only one holding company, it was not illegal.
What made them helpless was that the companies controlled by Feng Yu were the best in the world in many aspects. Their conventional methods of suppressing those small companies were useless against those companies under Feng Yu.
On the contrary, Feng Yu often used the means of price to suppress them.
Even though they were small, they still succeeded. This made them quite depressed.
… …
"Feng Yu wants to build an IT empire. Once Feng Yu succeeds, all the consumers will realize that the prices of IT-related products will skyrocket in the future."
"The IT industry should return to a healthy development path. We should not allow an ambitious person to dominate the industry."
"Feng Yu had quietly built a large IT industry cluster, and it will surely surpass Microsoft, Intel, IBM, and other IT-related companies in the future!"
"Feng Yu's crazy expansion plans will have a significant impact on the industry. What will the future of the industry be like?"
… …
After Liu Chuanzhi took over, overseas media reported a lot of news about him, and they were all about threats.
However, many of what they said was correct. Feng Yu wanted to build an IT empire and dominate the industry. What's wrong with that?
If you are so capable, you all can join forces. Microsoft, Intel, Dell, Softbank, etc., can suppress me. But can you all join forces?
The shareholders will not agree to join forces. Even if they agree, it will violate the anti-trust laws. Not only will these companies be split up, but they will also be fined heavily.
Even if these companies were to cooperate with Feng Yu's companies, who will be the leader, and who will be the assistant? These companies are the leaders of their respective industries. How can they be willing to be under someone else?
Their interests are closely related, but they have different priorities. Intel will say that the core processor is the most important part of a PC, and that's why the core processor should be the most expensive.
But Microsoft will not agree. Without operating systems, who will be willing to use your PC?
Softbank will also say that without so many rich and useful operating software and network tools, computers can only be used on machines. How can it be so widespread?
Dell will also say that without our PCs, who will be willing to buy your products? It's the sales of our PCs that increased the development of the industry.
Everyone will think that they are the most important person in the industry, but no one can do without each other.
But all of them agree that Feng Yu is the biggest threat to all of their companies. Feng Yu's companies are growing fast, and they will need to snatch their market share. This is something they cannot accept.
So, all the leaders of these companies joined forces to attack Feng Yu, Wind and Rain Holdings, and Taihua Holdings.
… …
"General Manager Feng, we are in a disadvantageous position now. Our counterattack is too weak." Liu Chuanzhi was frustrated. Why is there such a big mess after I took over?
Masao Kameda added. "Boss, it's obvious that those companies had joined forces to isolate us."
Feng Yu waved his hand. "Isolate us? They will give in to us. Although we are making money, we will also leave some profits for them. We are thinking of being the industry leader and not monopolizing the industry. This is not allowed by the law. "
"But is their alliance really unbreakable? We can trample on some companies and at the same time, rope in some other companies and warn some others. "
"Let's choose Microsoft and Intel to trample on those companies. We are going to rope in those PC manufacturers. We had provided them with the best hardware and operating systems. If they still reject us, then we will use our prices against them in the future. As for the other companies, just give them a warning. It's useless even if they step out. "
"Trample on them? Boss, how should we trample on them? "
Masao Kameda is puzzled. The other party is the industry leader now, and how can we trample on them?
Feng Yu smiled and said: "It's simple. Didn't they want to argue with us? Let's not hold back and start mocking them! "
