The National Day passed quickly and everyone returned to work. I started to work, work, eat and sleep regularly. I don't know what programs are on National Day?

During the National Day, the domestic manufacturers were peaceful, and the foreign friends were advancing slowly. Microsoft released a number of heavyweight products on the evening of Beijing Time on the 6th, and the knife hit Apple. However, Apple was exposed to the news of tax evasion, so it must be hard to live. Samsung has also been exposed the edge product patent. Whether it will become a trapezoidal design this time remains to be verified. Sony CEO gave an ultimatum to the smartphone business and found another way out if it was not profitable. This time, I don't know how long my uncle's smile will last.

4. Sony CEO gave an ultimatum to smartphone business: find another way if not profitable

Kazuo Hirai, president and CEO of Sony, said on Wednesday that if the smartphone division could not make a profit in the next fiscal year, the company would consider other ways for it.

Under the leadership of Ichiro Hirai, Sony is recovering after years of losses. This is mainly due to the company's cost cutting measures, its exit from PC and other depressed markets, and the strong performance of imaging sensors and video games and other businesses.

But so far, Sony's smartphone business is still recovering slowly. In response, Hirai told reporters on Wednesday: "As long as the smartphone business can achieve balance of payments in the next fiscal year, we will continue to insist. Otherwise, we do not rule out considering other options."

In the global smartphone market, Sony and other Japanese electronic product manufacturers are facing strong challenges from Asian low-cost mobile phone manufacturers, as well as market leaders such as Apple and Samsung. According to the data released by Sony last year, its mobile phone business (including Xperia brand smart phones) only accounted for 17.5% of the Japanese mobile phone market, and less than 1% of the North American market.

5. Nokia announces the management and business structure of the new group after the acquisition of Aran

Nokia yesterday announced the management and organizational structure of the new company after the completion of the acquisition of Alcatel Lucent (hereinafter referred to as "Alang"). According to the plan, Nokia executives will dominate the management team of the merged new company.

Nokia announced in April this year that it would purchase Aran for 15.6 billion euros (about 16.6 billion dollars). It is expected that the transaction is expected to be completed in the first half of 2016. As the deal will be completed in the short term, Nokia today announced its new corporate management and organizational structure after the merger.

Nokia CEO Rajeev Suri said that Nokia was ready to run a new company. After the transaction is completed, the management team of the new company will have 13 senior executives, and Nokia senior executives will occupy 10 seats.

6. It is said that Apple will release 21.5 inch 4K version iMac graphics card next week or upgrade it

According to 9to5mac, a technology blog, Apple plans to add some new Mac hardware to its autumn product line after it released the iPhone in September and plans to release the iPad Pro in early November. According to reliable sources, Apple plans to release a new 21.5-inch iMac with 4K display next week. Although the new all-in-one machine may be sold in stores on October 13 (Tuesday) as soon as possible, Apple will only increase its output in November, so it may not be easy to buy new Apple computers at the beginning of the launch.

The appearance of the new 4K iMac is very similar to that of the current non 4K models, so the main highlights of the upgrade are the 4096 × 2304 display screen and the video card with significantly improved speed. The new 4K iMac is also likely to have the El Capita operating system pre installed.

Like the 5K iMac released last year, the new 4K version is slightly higher in price than the non 4K version. Apple has been developing a new Magic Mouse 2 mouse integrated with Force Touch technology and a new Bluetooth keyboard with improved battery life, but it is unclear whether these accessories will be released with the new iMac.

7. Samsung's operating profit in the third quarter exceeded analysts' expectations by 6.3 billion dollars

Samsung announced its preliminary results for the third quarter on Wednesday. The decline of the Korean won has boosted Samsung's component business revenue, offset the impact of the Galaxy smartphone price cut, and made Samsung's quarterly profit exceed analysts' expectations. Affected by this financial report, Samsung's share price rose sharply.

In the third quarter, Samsung's operating profit increased 80% year on year to 7.3 trillion won (about 6.3 billion US dollars). According to the statistics of Bloomberg, the average expectation of analysts is 6.7 trillion won.

Samsung Galaxy smartphone is facing a disadvantage in the competition with Apple and Chinese and Indian manufacturers, so Samsung is increasingly relying on chip and display business to drive profit growth. Samsung's component sales are settled in US dollars. By the end of the third quarter, the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Korean won was about 12% higher than that of the same period last year.

Song Mingxie, an analyst at HI Investment Securities, said: "This performance is surprising, and the biggest contribution comes from the component business. The performance of chip and display business has exceeded that of product business, which is mainly due to the decline of the Korean won exchange rate."

Samsung did not release the net profit data and the performance details of each department this time. Samsung's audited third quarter results will be released later this month.

eight Apple's Two Month Three Tax Avoidance List Overseas Tax Avoidance Nearly $60 Billion

Apple has just ranked first in the 2015 global brand value ranking. The latest survey shows that this American company holds the most offshore funds among American enterprises, and the amount of tax avoidance it brings is also amazing. It can be said that it is not only good at making money, but also good at saving money.

According to the latest survey results of the Education Fund and Tax Justice Center, an American public welfare research group, Apple has the most offshore funds among American enterprises. Its overseas funds in branches of tax havens such as Bermuda, Luxembourg and the Netherlands totaled $181.1 billion, and the amount of tax avoidance achieved by Apple reached $59.2 billion.

In fact, it is not only Apple that is good at tax avoidance. The survey pointed out that as of the end of last year, 358 of the Fortune 500 enterprises in the United States had tax avoidance behaviors, and their offshore accounts had more than 2.1 trillion dollars of profits. It is understood that GE has 119 billion dollars in its offshore accounts and Microsoft has 108.3 billion dollars.

Compared with bringing money back to the United States, Apple is more willing to make profits by issuing bonds, such as repurchasing shares. Previously, Apple CEO Tim Cook publicly said that the United States needs to readjust its tax policy, and excessive tax rates are not conducive to enterprise development.
