Bidness Etc - Apple Inc Gets Compared to Hitler By Chinese Tech CEO

Chinese company's CEO Yeuting compares Apple Inc to Hitler in a recent video he posted in order to attract people to his company's new smartphone

One of the most recent Apple news that has attracted the public’s attention is that one of the tech companies in China, LeTV.com’s CEO has created a cartoon series to that has labeled Apple Inc as a ‘Hitler’ company in the tech world, the one who does not let other tech companies of the industry come up on the scale in the market. Jia Yueting, who created the cartoon comics and is also serving as the CEO of the tech company in China seemed rather annoyed by the success the latest iPhone makers were not letting them experience.

Through the cartoon series, he created a figure that looked like Adolf Hitler and made him wear an armband with Apple’s logo drawn on it. This helped in conveying to the public that Yueting was utterly crestfallen by the dominance that the Californian company has been practicing on a global level and how that does not let him or other companies like his climb up the ladder of success in the market. He was seen talking about it on the social media where he mentioned how unfair it was for tech companies like his as the tech giant does not leave any space for small companies in the industry.

Yueting was even seen to have posted a video about the point that he was trying to make and he even made a few comments supporting his argument in which talked about how the whole world is going crazy for Apple and its products which has badly affected the other companies trying to make a mark in the same market. He even said that people’s attitude towards the iPod makers needs to change in order to bring a positive change in sales of other tech companies.

Analysts, in general, are posting different opinions about this act of the Chinese company’s CEO saying that this was just to put a bad impact on the Californian Company’s name. However, analysts at Business Insider think differently. According to them, this stunt was carried out just to attract attention towards a new smartphone launched by none other than LeTV, the company that is currently being run by Jia Yueting.

LeTV.com is a website which has videos that entertain the whole of China with its creative videos and ideas. Over the period of time, this website has become as popular in the Asian country as YouTube all over the world. These website owners have stepped into the smartphone industry only recently and as reports say, the phones that the company is making are highly inspired by the designs that Apple owns.

Bidness Etc - Why Tesla Motors Should Not Be Taken Over By Apple Inc

In the most recent press conference that was held by Apple Inc on 9th March 2015, various questions were raised by the shareholders whether the company plans to take over Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) from the massive revenue that the company makes in every quarter. These questions, however, were completely ignored by the CEO of the company which created a feeling of doubt among the investors and created a feel of uncertainty among them about the future plans of the company.
Apple Inc scheduled the press release to launch it's new Apple Watch which is smart watch with many unique features that have not been offered by any other tech company before. During the press conference at the launch, many shareholders kept the topic of merging of the two companies alive by asking the CEO pressing questions about his plans for acquisitions but Cook was too smart to avoid the questions and the topic was hence dismissed.
One more question was raised by an Apple user who was also a Tesla fan and he inquired if the company had any plans to buy some stake in the auto making company to which Cook skillfully replied that he would like the auto-making firm to work with other automakers in the industry and collectively use the tech company’s new infotainment system for the cars called the CarPlay in which the car drivers will be able to connect their iPhones to the dashboard of their automobiles and freely make a video call to anyone, thus avoiding the real question.
According to the analysts at Bidness ETC, even though it is great to know that Apple is thinking about taking shares of Tesla, this will not work very well in the company’s favor as it is yet not automotive company and will take a lot of time to finally establish itself in the industry by which getting into the auto industry by taking the electric car makers’ shares will not be a wise move.
Many similarities between the companies have become evident in the past couple of years and this is a fact that cannot be denied. The most prominent of the similarity between the two giants is that both have been bringing huge changes to their particular industries by being extremely innovative in whatever that they do.
Nevertheless, both the companies have different aims and goals which are why the decision of a merger has been deemed as improvident.
