Top of the Great Era

Chapter 2890 Symposium

The industry symposium was called for by Zhou Buqi and organized by the Ministry of Information Industry. Basically all the domestic mobile phone industry players attended. Zhou Buqi counted and found that there were more than 20 companies, such as Asda, Xiaomi, Huawei, Coolpad, ZTE, Lenovo, Meizu, OPPO, BBK, Konka, AUX, TCL, Guardian Elf, Tianyu, Jinli, Haier, Hisense, U9, etc.

Many mobile phone manufacturers are relics of the functional era.

Some of them Zhou Buqi had never even heard of.

In addition, many industry experts and leaders of relevant ministries and commissions were present, as well as more secretaries sent by leaders to listen in. This was an internal meeting, but it was very important and related to national strategy.

A director named Qiao opened the show as host.

Then Zhou Buqi came to the stage and gave a 25-minute keynote speech.

The speech mainly concerns three aspects.

First, the global situation of the mobile phone industry.

Although there are still some mobile phone manufacturers abroad, Zhou Buqi boldly made a conclusion here that in the future mobile phone manufacturing industry, apart from Apple and Samsung, only domestic mobile phone manufacturers will be able to exist.

This is a huge market.

I hope that domestic mobile phone manufacturers can make good use of China’s strong position in the manufacturing sector and the relatively complete supply chain system, and continue to innovate and develop excellent mobile phones. There is a huge market around the world waiting to be conquered.

Second, the importance of the mobile phone industry.

The future is an era of artificial intelligence, an era of the interconnection of all things and intelligent networking.

  In the past it was computers, now it is mobile phones. What device will lead the next generation of technological trends?

do not know.

At present, VR glasses seem to be a direction.

No matter what it is, the next generation of devices must be portable mobile terminal devices.

This is actually the logic of smartphones.

  In other words, if you have a seat at the table of the smartphone industry now, it is equivalent to getting an admission ticket to the next generation of trendy products in the future!

Not just the next generation of tech products.

The same is true now.

The biggest trend in the technology industry in the past two years has been smart devices.

Smart TVs, smart watches, smart air conditioners, smart refrigerators, smart speakers, smart microwave ovens, smart sweeping robots, smart cameras, smart door locks, smart washing machines, smart rice cookers...

In fact, it is the precursor to the Internet of Things.

It is the connection between the Internet and the terminal.

However, there is an intermediate link among these smart devices that cannot be ignored, and that is the smartphone.

Smartphones are the key to the Internet of Everything.

Then, Zhou Buqi turned the topic to the electric vehicle industry.

Smart connected electric vehicles are not cars.

This is a car that has been redefined.

Intelligence will become the most competitive selling point in future car sales!

The intelligence of cars is actually the intelligence of mobile phones!

Promoting the vigorous development of the domestic mobile phone industry is not only related to the mobile phone industry, but also to the new energy vehicle industry, the Internet of Things trend that is becoming a trend, and the next generation of technological products whose future is still uncertain!

Very important!

The smart refrigerators made by Haier are pretty good, and the smart TVs made by TCL are also pretty good, but these devices are all standalone.

Only smartphones are platform products and are closer to the Internet.

Mobile phones are the real middle link between the Internet and hardware devices... A successful smartphone company can easily produce best-selling smart refrigerators, smart TVs, and smart air conditioners, but the reverse is not true.

On the third point, Zhou Buqi turned the topic to Qualcomm.

The only thing that can restrict the development of the domestic mobile phone industry is chips, especially Qualcomm chips.

Qualcomm's chip sales strategy is getting more and more excessive!

While Samsung is making a move and Apple is indignant, the domestic mobile phone industry should also seize the opportunity to rush forward and snatch back its own rights from Qualcomm! If Qualcomm suppresses it so hard at the beginning, it will be too difficult to turn the tables in the future. In this regard, the domestic mobile phone industry is more anxious than Apple and Samsung.

Apple and Samsung both have powerful self-developed chips.

However, the domestic mobile phone chip research and development is still relatively weak. Huawei's chips are mid-range at best, and ZTE and Asda's self-developed chips can only be considered low-end products. There is still a long way to go, but the first few steps must be steady and must not be thrown into disarray by Qualcomm's monopoly on intellectual property.

All European mobile phone chip companies have been wiped out because the EU’s legal system is too weak, too inefficient, and too slow. They cannot find evidence of Qualcomm’s monopoly and cannot impose penalties.

Politicians are wasting time, but the market won't wait!

A large number of European chip companies have died.

  This is a lesson learned from the past!

At this time in China, we must not hesitate.

The chip industry foundation that China has worked so hard to build up must not be destroyed by Qualcomm relying on its monopoly position.

Therefore, there must be no hesitation in taking action against Qualcomm.

be quick!

  Race with the market, the faster the better!

There was only one speech at this symposium, and that was given by Zhou Buqi.

The card speaks for itself.

  The young Zhou Buqi is the most influential entrepreneur here!

At the end of the speech, everyone applauded.

I don't know who stood up first.

Then the effect was formed.

Everybody stood up and gave him a standing ovation.

Next came the free discussion session.

Every entrepreneur, scholar and leader attending the conference has the opportunity to speak, raise questions and express their own views.

Zhou Buqi was undoubtedly the focus of everyone.

However, the decision on the opportunity to ask him questions lies in the hands of the host, Director Qiao, and he will also give more opportunities to ask questions to other leaders in higher positions.

One of the secretaries, surnamed Hua, was sent by his superiors. He smiled and asked, "Mr. Zhou, I only have one question for you. If our country strongly supports the development of the mobile phone industry, there will be many mobile phone manufacturers in the market. But the market will not be able to accommodate so many mobile phone manufacturers in the end. Doesn't that mean that a large number of them will go bankrupt in the end?"

As a third-rank official in front of the prime minister, Zhou Buqi always had to give him face, so he gave a positive response first: "Indeed, the mechanism of the market is the survival of the fittest, this is bound to happen."

Then, Zhou Buqi changed the subject and said slowly: "However, it cannot be simply understood as the bankruptcy and closure of a large number of companies. This is a process of resource integration after market selection. Secretary Hua, I know you are referring to the group buying boom in recent years. Thousands of group buying websites have closed down, which is indeed not a good phenomenon. However, in this process, many teams and talents with experience in group buying industry operations have emerged in China. Having talents means having a market. Even if the whole world cannot do group buying well, China can definitely do it well. The elimination process of market competition is a great precipitation of an industry. The precipitated technology, experience, talents and industry resources are all precious wealth of this society."

This is very well said.

Even those high-minded experts and scholars nodded repeatedly.

Zhou Buqi went on to say, "In fact, there is another more important way out. I have just said that the core of smart devices must be smartphones. Smart cars are also smart devices. Many of our traditional car companies... To be frank, they have no understanding of the Internet at all, and they have not even built a modern, digital management system. Let traditional car companies independently complete the intelligent design of cars, they do not have the ability to do so. Smartphone manufacturers are different. They can most effectively connect the relationship between the Internet and hardware devices! Of course, these are just some of my suggestions. If those traditional car companies want to have a place in the competition in the new energy industry, they must acquire one or several smartphone manufacturers that have been eliminated by the market, integrate their teams and technical assets, and rely on them to connect cars and intelligent networking."

The second half of this sentence is not very sophisticated.

It seems a bit arbitrary.

Not mature enough.

But those who know Zhou Buqi know that this is how he always speaks, very frankly, and he will not deliberately avoid the question just because his ideas are too far-fetched or surreal. It's a pity that most people present don't know him very well, they only know that he is famous and helpful.

Fortunately, the bosses of several major giants such as TCL, ZTE, Huawei, Lenovo, Haier, Hisense, and BBK Electronics all expressed their support for Zhou Buqi. Although they did not comment on the automotive industry, they all agreed with his views on the smartphone industry.

The original plan was to have discussions in the morning and afternoon.

A resolution was reached in the evening.

As a result, several giants took the lead and quickly reached a consensus. Everyone agreed to launch an antitrust investigation into Qualcomm!

This not only affects the development of the domestic mobile phone industry, but also the survival ecology of the chip industry, as well as the selection of future Internet of Things and next-generation technology products!

Significant!

Imperative!
