"I have discussed with those three telecom operators. Sprint-Nextel is the most eager to introduce our products. AT&T and Veriazon are also willing to cooperate. But they also said that the policy is not clear now, and they need to wait for the US Federal Communications Commission's notice."
Sprint-Nextel, also known as Sprint in Chinese, was currently the third largest telecommunications operator in the United States, with a market value of around 26 billion USD. Above it was the second largest operator, Verizon, with a market value of close to 200 billion USD. The number one operator, AT&T, had a market value of 230 billion USD.
The US mobile phone market is completely different from China. When Chinese buy mobile phones, they will look at the brand of the phone before choosing the operator. On the other hand, Americans are used to buying the products from the operators. The operators occupy more than 90% of the market. Without the support of the operators, there is no need to talk about selling mobile phones.
Lu Zixin frowned. "Looks like it's useless to look for any operator."
In fact, before Hong Xin was ready to enter the American market, there were already telecom operators in the United States who took the initiative to ask for cooperation. The market potential of Hongxin's smartphone products is obvious. The Chinese and Japanese markets have proven this point.
For the telecom operators, no matter what mobile phones they sell, they can make money. Naturally, they are more than willing to cooperate.
But for the US market, Hongxin's entry into the US market is on a completely different level.
Su Zhirong nodded and analyzed. "If our products enter the US market, it will have a huge impact on the US market. First is the mobile phone industry. The annual profits of Apple alone in the United States are higher than the annual taxes of some countries! "
"If Apple and other mobile phone companies are also defeated by us in the US market, the US economy will be greatly affected. Then there is the mobile phone chip industry. Companies like Qualcomm and Broadcom will have a huge impact on Google, Microsoft … "
"Our products and services are involved in more than half of the internet industry, and behind these companies are the US capitalists and politicians. They will not be happy to see Hongxin enter the US market."
Su Zhirong did not state the most serious problem. For the consumers, it is just one more mobile phone to choose from.
But now, Hongxin's influence is not just about mobile phones. It affects the entire US economy!
How big was the influence of a big company? Companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Samsung were ranked higher than many countries in the world economy rankings!
That's right, the economic influence of large companies was stronger than many countries!
Apple's annual sales of Apple accounted for 0.3% of America's GDP. For example, after Apple announced that it would gradually transfer more than 200 billion US dollars from overseas to the American market, the President of the United States even personally called to thank Apple's President Kuhn for his contributions to the American economy.
Samsung Group's annual turnover accounted for 20% of the entire Korea's GDP. Its revenue was related to the entire country's economic development. It was ranked in the top 50 economies in the world … and so on.
If Hongxin was as invincible in the US market as it was in Japan, the impact would be immeasurable. Wall Street capitalists might even line up to jump off a building.
In view of this, the big capitalists and government officials of the United States were wary of the Red Letter Group and did not dare to let it enter the United States market.
Su Zhirong asked. "Should we give up on the US market and enter the European market?"
Lu Zixin thought for a while and said. "Now, Hongxin only has influence in China and the surrounding regions. If we want to expand globally, we must enter the American market. The US and Canada are the two most important countries in the American market. The US market's attitude towards us also represents the Canadian market's attitude towards us."
"Let me think about this."
Lu Zixin does not want to give in so easily. The Americans are afraid that Hongxin will attack the US technology industry and want to protect their own companies and market. Are they the only ones allowed to make money in the world?
But the situation is complicated. The US is not like China. In China, Hongxin is a local company and is protected by the government. But in the US, Hongxin is a foreign company that is a threat and will be discriminated against.
Of course, this situation is unique to Hongxin. This is because other companies entering the US market are not competitive in terms of technology and market. They can easily pass the checks. Only Hongxin is leading in terms of technology, and it is different.
… …
These few days, Lu Zixin had approved a new purchase plan. He is going to buy 15 private small commercial jets from two aircraft companies. The estimated purchase price is about 1 billion RMB.
The most expensive jet is the Gulfstream private jet that Lu Zixin had prepared for himself. It is about 250 million RMB. The rest of the jets are for the company's top management.
This price was not some top-notch luxury aircraft. The main reason was that Lu Zixin could not bear to spend more than a billion to buy those luxury aircraft. He always felt that the performance of these aircraft was only so-so. If the big shots in the group gave him one, its performance would definitely be much better.
After the jets are purchased, Feng Yu still needs a private pilot and flight attendant. These are all arranged by the company.
Before his private jet arrives, Lu Zixin went to the US first. In a few days, the US Federal Communications Commission will approve Hongxin's product application. Feng Yu wants to meet a few people first.
The first is the current CEO of AT&T, Gru.
AT&T is headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Its predecessor is Bell Telephone Company. Bell is not "the top of the food chain," Bell Grylls. It is the Alexander Bell who is known as the father of the telephone.
This company has been leading the world since the beginning of history. Even now, it is still the world's leading telecom operator. It is one of the top 10 most valuable companies in the world! It can be said to be a giant beast in the global economic market!
Lu Zixin met Gru in the grand AT&T headquarters building. He is in his forties. He has short black hair and is wearing a suit and a white shirt. This person is in charge of a multi-national company worth hundreds of billions. His ability is not to be underestimated.
"Nice to meet you, my dear Mr. Lu." Gru shook hands with him. He does not speak Chinese, but Lu Zixin's translation function solved this problem perfectly.
"I am also very honored." Lu Zixin sat opposite him. After a simple exchange, they started to discuss company matters.
