Chapter 2184 The worse, the better, the better, the worse

After some rhetoric, Zhou Buqi understood some of Mr. Shi's difficulties.

There are some things that Ziweixing, a private enterprise like Changyou, can do, but he cannot do. Unless Mr. Shi has the skills of Mr. Liu to transform ZTE into a private enterprise, it will be too difficult and impossible.

If the core point cannot be solved, then there is nothing we can do.

It can only do some superficial work.

Just like treating a disease.

Some diseases can be cured at their root cause, but some quack doctors are very bad and specialize in treating the symptoms. In this way, patients will have recurring attacks and will continue to come for treatment, and quack doctors can make a lot of money.

Even many world-class pharmaceutical companies do this.

Some diseases can obviously be cured by medicine.

But this medicine cannot be sold.

We need to turn this disease into a chronic disease, and have patients take medicine all year round to relieve symptoms, and then we can create continuous profits for the company.

Mr. Shi did not accept the strategy of "treating the root cause", and Zhou Buqi had already seen ZTE's fate in the US market in the future. Due to human sentiment, we can only talk about some temporary solutions.

Zhou Buqi said: "There are thousands of various proposals in the U.S. Congress every year. Most of the proposals have economic interests behind them, or they are said to be a decadent capital society. Some proposals are sponsored by capital.

They want to do well for themselves; some proposals are made by employers who want to attack competitors. The public relations expenses behind these proposals are billions of dollars every year. The donations generated by various charity galas derived from these proposals can even reach above

Ten billion dollars.”

Of course Mr. Shi knew this and nodded, "ZTE should go to the United States to support some charity projects and donate some money."

Zhou Buqi said: "If the integration cannot be completed at the organizational structure level, try to integrate with the local area at the cultural level. Just look at what other technology companies do and learn from it. For example, actively provide benefits for some backward communities.

Actively participate in activities such as improving the lives of low-income people.”

In big cities in the United States, you can always see many "roadside stalls" that distribute food for free.

Low-income people can go and receive free food.

Those who distribute these welfare products are volunteers, but the real donors behind them are often wealthy people and large companies. This is a politically correct American culture.

In name, it can be done or not.

In fact, it must be done.

Just like tipping.

It is nominally given voluntarily, but in fact it must be given. It is not a moral kidnapping, but a cultural kidnapping.

This is actually common sense. ZTE has its own branch in the United States. You don’t need to say that they can do it. In fact, this is also the case. ZTE in its previous life adopted this kind of soft strategy to treat the symptoms. Once in the U.S. market

It has been a huge success, with nearly half of the company's revenue coming from the U.S. market.

Even after ZTE acquired the core assets of BlackBerry, its mobile phone business has developed.

At that time, many people in China did not understand why ZTE was always at the top of the sales list even though they had never seen anyone using ZTE mobile phones.

In fact, it is the overseas market, and a large part of it is the US market. ZTE was once second only to Apple and Samsung in the US mobile phone market, and its sales volume was similar to that of Lenovo.

Later, he was violently attacked.

Just like Google withdrew from the domestic market.

However, since Zhou Buqi participated in this topic and had a face-to-face discussion with Mr. Shi, he would always do his best to help him.

It would be best if ZTE can take root in the United States for a long time. Even if it cannot, it is best to postpone the moment of being hit as late as possible.

Zhou Buqi said: "The parliamentary accusation comes from the proposal of the congressman. There must be the power of capital behind the congressman's proposal. I estimate that it is Cisco and Corning that are causing trouble in all likelihood. Huawei has done so well in Europe that it has brought European

How can they not be scared when the local equipment manufacturers are struggling to defeat them? Now that ZTE has a huge amount of money and plans to expand the US market in a big way, they are probably scared to death."

Mr. Shi laughed and said, "I don't know who is behind it yet. I guess it's Cisco, Qualcomm, Juniper and others. It's not surprising."

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, ZTE will definitely be able to pass this time, but this kind of thing can be passed once or twice. Who can guarantee that it will pass every time? If there are several such proposals every year, congressmen

I am very irritated by the ZTE incident. As time goes by, I may become impatient and want to solve the problem once and for all.”

Mr. Shi looked heavy.

This kind of thing is really not just speculation, there is probably a comprehensive plan behind it.

It's just like the factional disputes among ancient ministers.

Writing a letter of impeachment is not a one-time thing.

At the beginning, it was just a quick touch to leave an impression on the emperor. Then it gradually deepened the impression and made the emperor feel irritated. Finally, it caught the opponent's mistake and attacked it as a group.

Even if this person is a confidant of the emperor, continuous criticism for such a long time, gradually deepening and strengthening step by step, can shake the emperor's will.

Even if this person is the emperor's brother or son, he can still be executed.

Zhou Buqi said: "I was at home during the Spring Festival and read several history books, and I felt like my heart was beating with fear. Many times, decisions that seemed to be made by the emperor were actually made by ministers who were calculating people's hearts.

, controlling the emperor's mood like a marionette and manipulating him to make decisions. The parliamentary model seems fair and just, but there are actually smarter capitalists behind the scenes. Don't think that there can be real power in the American market.

fair."

Mr. Shi asked: "Do you have a good idea?"

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "What can I do? Spend money to buy peace."

Mr. Shi said: "Do charity? Actively participate in community poverty alleviation activities?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "How much money is this? We need to spend all the money in a bigger way. This is the most important point, don't make competitors jealous. ZTE's financial report in the US market is a bit uglier.

, the profit margin is extremely low, and it is best to fall into losses. In this way, competitors will have an easy time, and Congress will greatly recognize ZTE’s important value in the US market.”

"Well……"

Mr. Shi was really surprised by this idea. This was an angle that he had never considered before.

Zhou Buqi said: "If ZTE America's financial report is very eye-catching, with a lot of profits and extremely high profit margins, how can competitors not be jealous? The attitude of lawmakers will also be very hostile, especially ZTE's state-owned enterprise nature. On the contrary, if ZTE

The financial report is ugly or even a loss, which will be very tempting."

Suppose ZTE America's financial report is a loss.

This means that ZTE will subsidize the U.S. market after making money in other countries and regions. In this way, even if competitors like Cisco and Corning are eyeing ZTE, Congress will be happy to see it happen.

This is a good thing!

ZTE makes money elsewhere to subsidize the United States. This is helping the United States develop and will contribute to the development of American society... Not only can this not prevent ZTE from developing in the United States, it should also be greatly encouraged.

Who would refuse to take advantage of something?

In this way, it will be very charming.

Mr. Shi said very cautiously: "Financial reports are not very reliable, right?"

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "In the United States, capital is given priority, and the top elites all go to business, to Wall Street and Silicon Valley. Only those who fail in business and have no business acumen will choose to enter politics.

Congressman. The black president now made a mess when he set up a law firm.

Later, he went bankrupt and had no economic sense. As a result, after entering politics, he took off all the way and became the president. The financial report could not fool Cisco and Corning's competitors, but it was enough to fool most of the lawmakers. Adding the public relations part and the operation part, you can

Opposition in parliament is limited to a majority."

Mr. Shi said in a deep voice: "Financial reports should be true."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Of course it is true. Legal operation is the prerequisite. Even if it is true, there are still a hundred ways to deceive those congressmen."

Mr. Shi couldn't help laughing.

People in the industry have long heard that Xiao Zhou is from the Northeast and is very good at deceiving people.

As expected, it is better to meet than to be famous.

It was quite an eye-opener.

Zhou Buqi said: "For example, product design and R&D, the group's overseas donations, and the company's welfare trips to the United States... these can all be posted on ZTE America's account, and won't the profits be reduced?"

"It makes sense, it makes sense."

Mr. Shi thinks Mr. Zhou said it very well.

ZTE's products are generally global.

In other words, product design and R&D are aimed at the global market, and the global market should bear this part of the design costs and R&D funds.

However, if the design department and R&D department are in the United States, ZTE America can legitimately bear this cost.

There are also overseas donations.

As a large international company, ZTE will donate money for humanitarian aid whenever there is a disaster in any country. If it is an overseas donation, it can be donated in the name of ZTE America.

ZTE America will spend the money, and ZTE Group will reap the rewards.

It could also drag down ZTE America's profits.

Traveling to the United States is also a good choice. Large companies generally provide company benefits for traveling abroad, and many people want to go to the United States. Because they are traveling to the United States, the benefits for ZTE employees traveling to the United States can legitimately be borne by ZTE America.
