"How is it? Have you found out the specific shipment volume of Qingyun Technology's mobile phones?"

“Not yet, I just know that the foundry ships out a steady stream of products every day, but there are hardly any salable products on the market.

Every time the group buying website Pinxixi releases goods, it is impossible to grab them. When I refresh the page, it shows that they are sold out..."

Huang Yuzhang of the Zhujiang Meizhu Factory was puzzled, “It’s strange, if it’s selling well, why doesn’t it take the opportunity to promote shipments and drive sales growth?

It is bombarded with advertisements on the Internet, newspapers, media and television stations every day, as if it is the only company in the world that sells full-touch screen mobile phones. This doesn't make sense.

If it doesn't sell well, why are the OEM factories in Dongguan and Pengcheng producing it at full capacity every day, while it is still not available on the market even if the price is increased by more than 200 yuan?"

This wave of operations is really incomprehensible.

The people below are also confused. "I don't see many people using it on the market, but the promotional ads have never stopped and are everywhere. What are they trying to achieve?"

At this stage, the consumers of Qingyun’s electronic products are mainly concentrated in suburban towns and villages, including restaurant owners who return home for the New Year, small and medium-sized businesses, and Pinxixi employees.

In big cities, due to insufficient supply, its market share is very low. Everyone knows that there is such a brand, but few people have used it. This makes mobile phone manufacturers across the country very confused.

So all the tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars you invested in advertising have been wasted?
The people below remembered something, "A few days ago, Dongguan Zhaoxu Electronics dealt with a group of people and held them accountable for their legal responsibilities. I asked someone to inquire about it from the inside of the Six Gates.

It seems that they are deliberately passing off good products as defective ones in an attempt to pass them off and sell them at a higher price.”

"Don't spread this kind of gossip. We don't even know if it's true or not."

Huang Yuzhang felt his head was about to explode. Ever since Qingyun’s products were launched on the market, strange rumors were flying around.

On the computer screen on his desk, there suddenly appeared a picture of consumers holding banners to protest at the Qingyun Industrial Park, saying that they were tricked by internal staff into buying Panda products instead of Honor products, and they were unable to return the products and were demanding a replacement.

This incident caused quite a stir on the Internet, with hundreds of thousands or even millions of people discussing it on Weibo and Tieba alone, and what they said sounded as if it were true.

Something like it took half a month to travel across multiple places and finally increased the price by one thousand yuan, and I bought an Honor with the price of the top-end Panda.

It is said that when the consumer received the phone, he shed tears on the bank of the Huangpu River, and turned around to accuse the unscrupulous QQ group owner of not delivering the product as advertised, thus eliminating a parasite hidden within Qingyun...

Huang Yuzhang didn't believe it at all. Who doesn't know this kind of marketing method?
As long as he wants, he can churn out a bunch of similar sample essays in minutes, but the key is where is the stuff?

The market will never lie, and the production process cannot be concealed. There is no holiday during the Chinese New Year, and thousands of people in the Dongguan factory are working overtime to rush the production of smartphones. Where are the goods?

Being eaten by someone?
Just as I was wondering, the office door was pushed open. When he saw the person coming, he smiled and said, "Happy New Year, Lao Yu."

"Happy New Year, Mr. Huang. What are you talking about? I heard your voice from far away before I even entered the door."

The man came with a smiling face. In fact, whenever you see him, he has this face. Some people say that he is hypocritical, while others say that he is friendly and kind.

Ten or fifteen years later, his face has not changed. Yu Huatian, a poor boy from a rural area in Hubei Province, was once the CEO of a well-known listed software company.

Now, the CEO of an unknown investment company, who is so poor that he only has money left, comes to discuss cooperation under the guise of learning.

Well, we don’t make mobile phones, but we specialize in Chinese mobile phone operating systems. You may ask if we have any core technologies?
Coincidentally, we only do technical porting and translation work.

It is impossible for Huang Yuzhang to say that he was completely unprepared for him. Who can lead a company to a scale of over 100 million without going through hardships and fighting their way out?

But Meizuk has no money. As the company's first hit product, Meizuk m8 was launched a whole year earlier than Qingyun's Panda Honor smartphone, and the market feedback was very good.

The only problem is that they lack funds and often have to collect payments from consumers before they can place orders with component manufacturers. The good news is that the risks are controllable and there is no need to worry about product unsalability.

The bad news is that the turnover period is too long and you can only gain face but no benefits.

So Huang Yuzhang was very enthusiastic about Yu Huatian. He was after his money, and he was after his looks (products). The two hit it off immediately, and immediately got together and became good brothers.

Huang Yuzhang now admires Yu Huatian very much. If he asks himself honestly, even if he has hundreds of millions of cash flow in his pocket, he will never be able to be as diligent and focused on work as Yu Huatian.

He went to work during the New Year purely because he was stimulated by Qingyun Group, while others did so out of their genuine love for their work.

"This isn't a new product from a competitor. Judging from the production volume, it's definitely not low. There's news in the industry that the first batch ordered 50 parts, but there are only a few products on the market. Isn't that strange?"

Huang Yuzhang did not hide it from him, and these sour words could not be hidden from others.

Yu Huatian thought for a moment, "Qingyun?"

"Who else could it be?"

"Products? I do have them, and more than one."

Yu Huatian developed a domestic mobile phone translation system in order to accumulate industry connections so that he could break into mobile phone manufacturing. His business overlapped with that of Qingyun Group, which was also developing it and making a bigger splash than he did.

Because Li Zehua was really developing his own operating system for Roewe phones, and he also did the translation work for the Android system.

The two businesses collided, so Yu Huatian was of course concerned. He asked people and connections to get a few Panda and Honor phones in advance. By the way, he happened to see it at the scene on the day when the conflict broke out at the Jiangcheng Qingyun Image Experience Store.

You can tell at a glance whether someone is a shill or not. If they don’t really like the product, they will never spend money to buy a model machine.

Well, the guy who paid and got the model machine didn't return it in the end. He just asked for a new machine. As for the model, he kept it as a souvenir.

Ask him how he knew?

There were a lot of news reports in newspapers and media, and the most direct impact was that the probability of model machines being bought in Qingyun Experience Stores increased dramatically. Everyone knew that if a model machine was bought, Qingyun would proactively contact the customer for a refund.

I won’t refund it, so what?

In the end, don’t you have to send a real machine over?

I have to admire these true fans. In order to buy their favorite mobile phone, they use all kinds of means and try every trick.

Yu Huatian was very envious and anxious, because the path Qingyun was taking was blocking his future. Especially when he heard that Qingyun would launch another ace series of Roewe mobile phones in the second half of the year, which would be priced at RMB 1,000 or even lower, he could no longer sit still.

He flew directly to Zhujiang to meet Huang Yuzhang before the New Year was even over. This time he did not hide anything.

First of all, Qingyun's products are put on the stage. "4.0 screen, mainstream configuration, mainstream price, and most importantly, the material and overall streamlined design are very beautiful, which is very attractive to consumers..."

Huang Yuzhang had seen the real phone a long time ago, and had often used it in his hands to compare it with the Meizu m8 (which can be understood as the difference between iPhone 3 and an enlarged version of iPhone 4). The result was obvious. In every aspect, the Meizu m8 was beaten.

The only advantage is the price. The initial price of m8 is 2388, while the cheapest Qingyun product, Honor m9, costs 2998.

Isn’t it disgusting? Meizhu uses m, and Qingyun also uses m, but his is one size bigger than Meizhu’s.

If he knew the truth, he would be so angry that he would die, because when Li Zehua named it, he did not consider the factor of Meizhu at all, but chose the ancient Greek word m which means beyond Meta.

There is no need to change the subsequent metaverse, and the connection will be seamless.

The full name is Honor Meta09 series, representing the first model launched in 09, followed by the 10/11 series, and the "z" in the panda is explained to the outside world as the end of the Chinese characters (it is also the last letter in the English alphabet).

As for who will be terminated specifically, it is a matter of opinion.

Terminator 10 is the first generation version, and the subsequent versions adopt the order of 20/30, which is different from Honor.

The new Roewe series will be directly arranged as Roewe 1/2/3, with the main focus on simplicity and clarity.

Fortunately, Huang Yuzhang didn’t know this. Being targeted is better than being completely ignored.

"Except for the screen display which has some flaws due to poor craftsmanship, it has advantages over HTC products of the same price in other aspects, and also points the way for the next generation of Meizu products..."

Huang Yuzhang was generous with his praise. He said Qingyun was willing to spend money on product design and material craftsmanship. He estimated that this item alone cost at least 100 yuan more (actually 60).

At the end, he couldn't help but say, "They are really rich. The parts they use are all world-class products. I heard that even the OEM factory was specially acquired from a large factory."

This was exactly what Yu Huatian was waiting for. Huang Yuzhang finally agreed. He had originally planned to find out all the details and then go back and start a new company by copying their plan.

But now it is obvious that time is running out and we must use a company with an industry foundation to catch up quickly, otherwise if we wait another two years, it will be too late.

Thinking of this, he began to secretly blame the source of the news. Didn't they say that they were organizing a delegation to negotiate with the relevant departments of the University of Tokyo, and hoped to reach an overall cooperation framework within the year?
How did it leak in advance, allowing domestic competitors to get ahead of the game?

They don't know the details, and they are just like Huang Yuzhang, groping forward in the dark, testing various products and conducting market research, and even the mobile phone operating systems are varied. Little do they know that on the other side of the ocean, several large-scale industry alliances have already been formed on this issue, just like Google's acquisition of Android, because Google needs a mobile phone operating system platform to carry its own standard products.

To put it simply, who Google acquires, plus the thirty or forty industry standard setters with coordinated interests behind the scenes, as well as essential built-in products such as Google Maps and Navigation, will determine which operating system will be successful.

If others want to succeed in product entrepreneurship, in addition to unique vision, decisive decision-making, timing and opportunities, they must also follow the general trend of the industry to avoid falling behind.

As for Android, every step has been on the right path of development, despite the chaos in the first few years when the market was full of competition from BlackBerry, Symbian, Apple, and a host of other operating systems from the Americas.

In fact, there is no one that can have an impact on it. Open source is just an appearance. In fact, which company uses Android without paying patent fees?

The University of Tokyo may still have some resistance because Google has withdrawn and there is no way to force the binding.

Overseas, Android is bundled with Google's entire suite of apps, including the most basic mobile Internet applications and the most basic application functions. For example, QingCloud has to pay taxes on every unit it sells to Southeast Asia.

Another thing is the core patent fee based on open source. Although it is not much, only a few dollars for each mobile phone, it is also a must-pay.

The last one is the added value derived from the Android system, such as game recharges, cultural creation and other income. This part will be as high as 30-50%, which is similar to the Apple App Store.

Fortunately, Google is not as powerful as Apple and dares not prohibit third-party downloads, so some charges can be avoided.

On the one hand, Qingyun applies the Android system to mid-to-high-end products, and on the other hand, it insists on independently developing domestic operating systems for use in Roewe product series.

The purpose is to completely bypass this restriction and use domestic systems and domestic chips in the future. Roewe, which is almost 100% domestically produced, does not have to worry about being targeted by any third-party sanctions.

When domestic lithography machines and chip technology mature, Panda and Honor will be able to switch to domestic systems as soon as possible, because Roewe has already established a huge software application empire in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Huang Yuzhang and Yu Huatian were unaware of all this. They only saw the imminent threat from Qingyun Electronics, regardless of whether the company's products were selling well in the market or not.

None of them can allow it to gain a firm foothold, otherwise it will be a huge disaster for those who come later.

But when it came to talking about shares, Huang Yuzhang hesitated, because he didn't want too much money. At most he just wanted to raise a little to get through the current difficulties. He was not like Yu Huatian, who wanted 30% of the shares right away.

What he meant was that he was planning to attract other venture capital firms to join the market later. Although they were all top domestic and foreign companies, once everything went well, they would lose control of the company.

Yu Huatian could only persuade him little by little, "Boss Huang, 1% of million is only so much you can do, and if you cooperate with me, it will not be a problem to reach a scale of billion in the future.

Even if only 10% of the shares are left, it will be worth 10 billion. Moreover, there is no supporting industrial chain around Zhujiang. I suggest that it is best to move the factory to Yanjing or Pengcheng..."

Huang Yuzhang's mind was in a mess. "What? We're moving the company headquarters?"

"It's not impossible."

"Don't even think about it, the company is mine and only mine!"

Yu Huatian was stunned. He hadn't even put forward many conditions, but Huang Yuzhang slammed the door to the negotiations shut.

It is too early to say that he has completely refused, but it is certain that he will resist giving up the controlling stake. Huang Yuzhang understands that if he wants to grow bigger, he must embrace capital, but he does not even see the possibility of realizing his promise.

He was asked to hand over 30% of the shares right from the start, especially when the Meizhu M8 was selling well and making money. This was something he couldn't accept from the bottom of his heart.

After bargaining, Huang Yuzhang offered a preliminary bottom line that he could accept, "How about 10%? I'll be the chairman and you'll be the general manager."

Yu Huatian was stunned, and responded superficially: "Isn't the financing amount of 10% of the shares too small? I'm afraid it's not enough for the early stage competition.

But since you insist, I'll consider it."

Actually, don't think about it.

After leaving Zhujiang, he first went to Dongguan to visit Chaoxu Electronics, but He Li was not so easy to fool. Chaoxu Electronics currently had no shortage of orders.

In addition to the OEM orders previously brought in by the home appliance industry, the rest are internal orders given by Qingyun’s parent company. Li Zehua repeatedly emphasized that the mobile phone production data and production line conditions are top secret.

Even if the third-party manufacturer is preparing for cooperation negotiations, it cannot disclose this information. Zhaoxu Electronics, which has just experienced a management purge, dare not go against the wind.

He Li received Yu Huatian politely, but he refused to discuss the matter of visiting the production line or even buying shares.

Yu Huatian had no choice but to ask him to pass a message to Li Zehua, wanting to meet and talk...

"Yu Huatian? What do you want from me? Try to find out the truth first. If you ask me, I will just say I don't have time for the moment and keep him busy."

When he received the call, Li Zehua, who was pressing the elevator button to go upstairs, was very puzzled about this famous founder of the coarse grain factory in history.

He is not interested from the bottom of his heart. Regardless of personal preferences, adults will watch him practice it. Whether it is beneficial or not, benefiting the country and the people is too far away.

It's too vague to talk about general principles. After all, companies like Huaban Factory and BOE, which insist on independent research, will not give Li Zehua any extra benefits. But at least their existence makes it less easy for the West to start the sickle harvesting mode.

What will be the outcome if all vital industries are controlled?

Look at the ending of the chicken stick in the basin, look at Ou Meng, if that doesn’t work, look at Lao Mo, whether it eats fish or not, the price is a storm.

(By the way, there are over 1900 million weight loss patients in Korea who have truly achieved "spiritual" freedom and take medicine as food.)
No matter what Yu Huatian said, he has no outstanding technology and has never made any epoch-making innovation. He can be regarded as the leader in the hardware industry, mainly buying land, collecting rent and paying protection fees.

Tenda has the largest number of users in the era, but was overtaken by short videos and was beaten by them in core algorithms. More than 70% of its revenue and net profit comes from game value-added services and finance.

Strictly speaking, it is a gaming company disguised as an Internet company and a financial company.

However, Yu Huatian did not catch up with the good times. He wanted to overtake others and seize Tencent's fortune in the field of mobile Internet instant messaging. As a result, he was beaten from all sides and was defeated before Western capital intervened.

It was even more coincidental in this life that Qingyun Group took the lead in laying out its plans, directly blocking his two core development strategies, making it absolutely impossible to recruit him.

To say that Yu Huatian is mentally strong and intelligent is not an exaggeration to say that he has come this far. Among the early Internet giants, he is an elite like the bosses of Baidu and Sohu.

Although he came from a humble background, his abilities were absolutely beyond doubt and he had already walked out of his own path. He preferred to engage in pure capital operations.

Inviting him to come back to lead Qingyun Technology, regardless of whether it will work or not, the key is to collude interests with companies like Qualcomm and Google. Li Zehua can do it himself, and he can also save the middleman to make a profit from the price difference.

The two parties are not the same kind of people at heart. Yu Huatian's definition of success is that I just need to live a fulfilling life. As for whether the original system and industrial chain can survive, it all depends on fate.

They use the principle of "take what you need" to the fullest extent and resolutely avoid self-developed products that may encounter adverse effects.

He did not refuse to invest in Baixiang, set up factories overseas, and try to package up its supporting industrial chain and relocate overseas.

For this reason, Li Zehua declined the offer, but he didn't want to be repeatedly criticized by his superiors. As God knows, he had no intention of running away. At most, he would take some self-protection measures.

After hanging up the phone, the elevator arrived.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Who is it?"

Lin Wan just came back from Hong Kong. She was going to spend the New Year with Fu Yujie, but after a phone call from someone, she had no choice but to return to the Magic City.

When I confirmed that it was him outside, I opened the door and felt my whole body being supported by a solid chest...

"So, Yujie can come back and continue to host Zhaoxu Electronics?"

Lin Wan, who was feeling elated, seemed unable to believe it. She thought she would have to stay in Hong Kong for the rest of her life.

While she was thinking, she didn't realize that when she turned around, her natural charm was a critical blow to the man's soul.

"Of course, after much thought, she is the most suitable one."

Li Zehua rolled his eyes and leaned over to her ear, "You can tell her the good news now."

Lin Wan was in a daze, and somehow reached for her cell phone. When she placed it in front of her, she suddenly saw the surroundings clearly and was stunned.

Li Zehua never hides his inner thoughts. If he reaches his level, he still has to wear a mask and act all the time, then wouldn't his rebirth be in vain?
"Such good news, you don't want her to wait too long, right? Maybe other changes will happen after a while?"

Lin Wan bit her lips tightly and looked at him, but finally resigned herself to her fate and just as she pressed the dial button, she begged:
"Can you give me some tenderness?"

"That depends on your performance~" (End of this chapter)
