Chapter 342(2/2)
Ma Yun fell into a cold sweat on the spot.
How long has it been?
It has been only two weeks since Bomi’s smartphone was released, and it has only been one month since the last time Cao Ma made a bet. Why do you feel that Bomi’s income has doubled several times?
1.8 billion US dollars?! Wouldn't that be tens of billions of soft sister coins?
To be precise, according to the current exchange rate, it is about 1 to 8, equivalent to 14.4 billion soft sister coins.
How much did Bomi’s annual income last year?
40 billion, right?
Now it’s just the first month of the new year, and I’ve earned back 1/4 of the previous year?
What kind of monster is Bomi?!
If this momentum continues, will Bomi make 100 billion this year?
How do you play this?
There is no hope at all?
Moreover, these reporters are really bad. They only know how to make trouble and watch the fun without much trouble.
"I can only say that Bomi is indeed an amazing company," Alima said stubbornly and responded calmly, "But it is still very early and things are changing constantly, especially in the business field. A technological change may lead to earth-shaking changes.
This time Bomi's smartphone illustrates this very well.
And as the president of Alibaba, I certainly have enough confidence in Alibaba, a big business platform.
It will be clear after 5 years."
For Ma Yun, it doesn't matter if you slap in the face, and the gimmick of this thing was more important than the 100 million he would lose by bet by then.
As long as you can constantly hype the topic and attract people's attention, it is a good thing for Bomi and Alibaba.
...
The next day, the media reported that Alima, who was covered in all over the body, challenged Bomi again:
[Bomi made 15 billion in January, and Alibaba was not afraid of this at all. Ma Yun: Let’s meet in 5 years.]
[Billion yuan gambling, Ma Yun: It's still early, and it's still unknown who will die in 5 years]
[Where did Ma Yun get the confidence to challenge Bomi? The truth is like this...]
[A business gamble, Bomi's monthly income of 15 billion yuan still cannot make Ma Yun feel scared.]
[Ma Yun: I am not optimistic about Bomi's smartphone market, Alibaba will definitely surpass Bomi in 5 years]
...
When Alima saw these reports, the water she drank was sprayed out directly.
"Now these media are really only good at making trouble and not doing good things. Will I say something like Bomi in five years?
Too unprofessional!”
In fact, when Ma Yun saw such exaggerated numbers in Bomi, she felt extremely desperate.
Such an exaggerated income, can you catch up?
It will be quite remarkable that Alibaba can catch up with Bomi's turnover in 5 years.
When he thought of this, he suddenly raised his head in horror.
Mom!
Bomi's growth rate is a bit terrible, right?
What kind of monster will this company grow in the future?
Originally, Ma Yun was disdainful of Cao Yang's previous [challenge] Lenovo and said that Bomi's turnover would exceed Lenovo Group within three years, thinking that this was nonsense.
Boss Cao just wanted to use this gimmick to take the opportunity to hype himself.
Now... Ma Yun was extremely shocked inside, and she felt that what Cao Yang said was not impossible.
...
For Cao Yang, it is actually an exaggeration to say that 3 years is actually a bit of an exaggeration. In fact, Bomi only takes 2 years to do Lenovo.
Because the subprime mortgage crisis broke out in 2008. Although this financial crisis broke out from the United States, China was the one who took over the final battle. The whole world suffered along with it. Lenovo Group was not spared. In 2008, Lenovo Group was deeply trapped in the swamp of the financial crisis and it took a long time to get out of its disadvantages.
Of course, Cao Yang is not very sure about one thing, that is, how much impact the financial crisis will have on Bomi Company at that time.
...
Since Alima was asked by a reporter, another party involved is not spared.
Shi Yanagawa is actually not much better, because he is the top figure on this chain of striking cars.
Moreover, the memory of the Internet has not faded. The last time Cao Yang said that Bomi's turnover would exceed Lenovo within three years was still the first two weeks.
Almost at the same time, the reporters seized the opportunity at a symposium on the Internet economy and asked Mr. Shi Yanagawa, Chairman of Lenovo Group:
"Mr. Liu, what do you think of the excellent sales results achieved by Bomi smartphones this time?
Now, less than half a month after Bomi mobile phones were released, sales have exceeded 3.6 million units, and total revenue is at least 1.8 billion US dollars.
Judging from the current growth momentum of Bomi, Cao Yang said not long ago that the goal of catching up with Lenovo Group within three years may be achieved soon.
Do you think they can really catch up with Lenovo Group within 3 years?”
Ah this...
Mr. Liu was obviously a little unhappy. There were many reasons for his unhappiness. "I'm talking to you reporters, Mr. Cao just said a joke. On CCTV, Cao Yang and Ma Yun's bet were obviously just a gimmick. You have to hold on and keep hyping. Is there nothing more important in the world than this?
Why don’t you report more valuable news?”
Mr. Liu's words made the media reporters speechless.
However, many things related to the 3-year goal were published in the news reports the next day:
[President Liu avoided talking about the three-year dispute, perhaps because he was afraid of Bomi Company?]
[Bomie Company's sales performance is booming, and it may achieve the goal of exceeding Lenovo within 3 years.]
[Mr. Liu was disdainful of Bomi's sales performance and believed that there was no need to respond]
...
"Grass!" When Shi Yanagawa saw the news, his lungs were furious.
"These unscrupulous media are too good at misinterpreting what others say, right? If I don't respond positively, I'm said to be afraid of Cao Yang? No matter how powerful Bomi Company is, at least I'm just a younger brother in front of Lenovo now, right?
We are not going to develop anymore. Even if Bomi Company can reach an annual revenue of US$10 billion in three years, can't we exceed 20 billion?
I'm really sick, these media reporters."
Mr. Liu was very angry and even said that he would not want to attend any public places where reporters were present in the future.
...
When Cao Yang saw these reports, his stomach hurt.
No one knows more about the domestic media’s nature than Boss Cao. Especially after entering the era of new media in the Internet, it feels that individuals can act as free media and freelance writers.
Anyway, I will not be held accountable, and it is quite troublesome to find this person in the Internet era. Many companies basically fight through public relations.
Unexpectedly, as a melon-eating man, Cao Yang's stomach hurts after seeing Alima and President Liu misinterpreted by the media and was criticized by people.
Especially the report [Ma Yun: I am not optimistic about Bomi's smartphone market, Alibaba will definitely surpass Bomi in 5 years], which is simply too funny.
This kind of reporting method of killing people is really in line with the current style of the news media, as long as the title is attractive enough.
This report from Alima sounds like he has been lying in a coffin, and the coffin has been buried. He also said that I will definitely xxxx.
As for Lenovo's [Mr. Liu is disdainful of Bomi's sales performance and thinks there is no need to respond] is also quite interesting.
I don't know how people will slap them in the face in a few years.
When I think about Cao Yang, I find it very funny.
