return to bolang life

Chapter 315 How dare you say you don't know martial arts?
The car was driving on the high road back to Yangcheng.

Before he left Pengcheng, Liu Chiping's call came after him: "I heard that Mr. Wen is here in Pengcheng, how about having a cup of tea in the afternoon?"

Wen Liang couldn't help laughing: "I know President Liu is so enthusiastic, so I'm already on my way back to Yangcheng."

Liu Chiping was quite surprised: "Oh? Did Hou Dong not even stay for lunch?"

"The main thing is that I'm busy here." Wen Liang laughed, "The plan can't keep up with the changes, and Bolang's foundation is shallow, so I have to worry about it."

Liu Chiping smiled and expressed his understanding: "Next time, next time Mr. Wen comes to Pengcheng again, we will sweep the couch to welcome you."

"Okay, sure." Wen Liang replied.

Finally, Liu Chiping sent his blessings with a smile: "I wish Mr. Wen all the best."

"..."

After the call ended, Liu Chiping's smile faded, thoughtful.

Then he called his assistant and asked directly, "Who was the first to release the news that Mr. Wen came to Pengcheng?"

The assistant quickly replied: "It should be an employee of Shunluo Pengcheng. At the same time, there may be ZTE employees and passers-by posting the news on the Internet. The blue Maybach that President Wen rides is more conspicuous."

As we all know, opposite the ZTE headquarters is the Pengcheng Shrinking Building.

Liu Chiping asked again: "Is there any other news?"

Assistant 10 reported the news he received: "I just received a gossip that President Wen and his party left ZTE with no one to see them off. The total stay time did not exceed [-] minutes, and the schedule was relatively tight."

"It is rumored that Bolang has been actively contacting several mobile phone manufacturers in the province since last week, including established manufacturers such as ZTE and Juchang, as well as emerging manufacturers such as Meizu, in an attempt to form an alliance."

"Today's visit to ZTE by President Wen and his party has been arranged as early as Monday."

"The specific negotiation between Bolang and ZTE is unknown..."

After listening to the assistant's report, Liu Chiping waved his hand to signal the assistant to leave, then frowned again and pondered.

His intuition told himself that there was something wrong with it.

But all the known information so far shows that Bolang's attempt to solve the pressure from all parties brought about by the shrinking mobile phone by connecting horizontally and vertically has almost failed.

ZTE probably looks down on the Bolang terminal.

From Liu Chiping's rational business perspective, such progress is not a problem.

Bolang terminal has only optimized the Android-based UI so far, and the mobile phone has been targeted by many parties before it was released.

So far, there are as many as 29 supply chain manufacturers who have made it clear that they will not supply Bolang terminals.

There are as many as 37 other companies that have clearly stated that they will not cooperate with Bolang Terminal.

It's just domestic companies.

There are more than a dozen overseas companies that have made it clear that they need to be cautious about cooperating with Bolang, not including Google, Qualcomm, and Microsoft, which have ambiguous attitudes.

Google's ambiguity comes from the fact that they are not sure what the star system of Bolang terminal is. If it is a system developed based on AOSP but independent of the Android ecosystem, they have nothing to say.

If you want to make a statement, what about Amazon, which is facing the magic reform of AOSP at the door?
Qualcomm has been advertised as ambiguous by public opinion. After all, it is a chip solution manufacturer that does a wide range of things, including baseband and so on.

In fact, Bolang Terminal has indeed cooperated with Qualcomm and purchased some necessary authorizations from Qualcomm.

As for Microsoft, it really joined the fun. It originated from its accumulation of patents in various aspects. As a world-renowned software manufacturer, it accounts for more than 95% of the PC operating system market. The accumulation of patents is unimaginable.

However, what is interesting is that Bolang Terminal has not established any special cooperative relationship with Microsoft.

General protocols and general frameworks cannot be manipulated.

The most disgusting thing about Microsoft's patents is that it has done too early on the graphical interface, so there are many interactive patents, um... Apple also has it-now the very classic slide to unlock is Apple's patent, and Apple applied for it is a very broad description of the patent, which corresponds to another patent troll company that also holds a slide-to-unlock related patent.

However, as a rising star, Bolang is very aggressive and has been avoiding it from the very beginning. Therefore, the completely reconstructed "World Human World" graphical interface has designed many new gestures and widely registered patents.

The legal department led by Lin Hong continued to expand, so it was still very busy.

Because not only existing projects with exact results need to apply for patents, but also some very long-term conceptual projects need to reserve patents. Anyway, some things are very simple to make.

In short, through the phone call with Wen Liang and the report of the general assistant, Liu Chiping rationally believed that Wen Liang's trip was a disappointment.

But his intuition told himself that this matter might not be that simple.

'Wen Liang, a person with a very unique way of thinking, does not necessarily solve problems in a conventional way. '

.........

While Liu Chiping was thinking a little bit because of a phone call, there was a similar discussion in Beijing, withered.

After listening to the secretary's detailed report, Director Yang pushed his glasses, and said calmly, "Bolang's foundation is very weak, so he can't be called famous."

"Young people think that every industry can be controlled by hand, and that everything can be settled with a little relationship. How can they think that everything needs to be based on basic rules?"

secretary:"……"

Although his ass is on the slumping side, he really wants to say that we are the ones who think that everything can be settled with a little relationship.

Director Yang also said: "Since Monday, the Bolang terminal has been making mistakes continuously, and it won't last long. We will arrange it and make preparations in all aspects. The focus is on public opinion!"

The secretary nodded repeatedly.

Entering December, some new changes have taken place in the market.

On the morning of the 3rd Monday, the iPhone 5 network access permit entered the approval process, and it was confirmed that it would be allowed to go on sale online after the 20th.

This matter has been doomed since the old man took the initiative to call Wen Liang.

In the early hours of the 3rd, in the morning of Silicon Valley time, Apple issued a brief statement, saying that the iPhone 5 will be available in the Xiaoxiba market this Friday, and will be available in more than 14 other countries and regions on the 21th and 50st.

China is on the 21st list.

According to the information given by Lao Miaotou, the launch of the iPhone 5 in the Chinese market has been delayed by a week due to Bolang's factors.

And these 'significant' changes have given many people confidence.

Among them is Mr. Yang, who believes that the immediate approval of the iPhone 5 network access permission this Monday has something to do with the decline in public relations through resources and relationships.

But now that Director Yang saw Wen Liang leaving ZTE in a 'disappointed' way, he even thought that Bolang Terminal's attempt to cooperate with ZTE had failed.

After all, from a rational business point of view, it is indeed difficult for Bolang Terminal, which is completely deadlocked in the mobile phone business, to obtain cooperation from the established major manufacturer ZTE.

…………

…………

Wen Liang and Li Ze sat side by side in the Maybach with a very comfortable rear space.

Li Ze said with a smile: "Why don't you stay and have a meal before leaving, and you also declined Hou Dong's kindness, and want to make some smoke bombs?"

"I'm going to hide from Liu Chiping, believe it or not." Wen Liang said casually while playing with Xinghai's phone 1 with one hand.

Li Ze thought about it seriously, then nodded: "Of course, I believe it."

"Actually, what I'm even more curious about is why our cooperation with ZTE is so smooth?"

Wen Liang smiled back and asked, "How do you know Shunli?"

"We've known each other for so many years, and we can still tell a little bit about your mood." Li Ze said calmly, "Although I don't know what you talked about with Director Hou and why the talk was so fast, but the result must be very good. "

Wen Liang glanced at Li Ze and smiled: "It's much better than expected, but it's based on the relationship. ZTE's major shareholder is a state-owned asset."

After a brief sentence, Wen Liang turned to specific matters: "We will carry out strategic cooperation in the three major fields of high-end chips, new-generation broadband wireless mobile communication networks, and core software; in addition, we will launch one or two Tomorrow, ZTE will send people to our Bolang terminal for detailed docking consultations on the proposal of a competition between mobile phones for the open market and non-customized models related to decline.”

Of course Li Ze understands that Bolang Terminal, which he is in charge of, will take the lead in completing these matters, but he just said: "In this way, the declining mobile phone business will soon be concentrated on providing customized models for operators; just like they did last year After the sales of the Lephone were dismal, they immediately launched the A60, which is a mass-produced product. This year, it is a sea-of-the-machine strategy, but it is not very good for the public market, so it should be easier to target.”

Wen Liang said bluntly: "Talk to ZTE's team and let them accept the hardware and software solutions we provide."

Li Ze was stunned for a moment, and said that he understood the hardware. He personally led the development of some non-core chips and key supply chain holdings. Among them, the memory, flash memory, screen, and camera that he could not get his hands on were also finalized by him one by one. International suppliers.

software?

So he asked: "Which software is it?"

"Android UI."

"When did we do Android UI?"

"At first, someone from Bolang Lab did it. Later, Yang Xingshan's team took over the related development. When he reported the graphical interface for the first time, it was very unsatisfactory. After that, he devoted himself to creating a version of the Android UI, and then proposed 'World Human World'."

"I do not know how?"

"I'm in charge of Bolang Lab, and you don't have enough energy to worry about it. The reason why I know is because I provided the soul and creativity of the graphical interface."

"Fuck? How dare you say you don't know martial arts while riding a horse?"

"Not really, except 'hello, world'."

As he said that, Wen Liang changed the subject: "For the details, let your secretary go through the company information. In short, from now on, you have to focus on the two big things of continuing to decline and preparing for the launch of the mobile phone."

Hearing this, Li Ze suddenly sat up straight, sighed and said, "There is still a rehearsal for the press conference, and I haven't finished memorizing the manuscript, so I suddenly feel like I'm giving a speech for the first time back in high school."

Wen Liang glanced at Li Ze, too lazy to talk to this guy.

Among them, probably only Li Bowen has almost no experience of speaking on stage because of his introvertedness, and the others have been pinched as early as high school.

The press conference is slightly different from the speech except that it takes a little longer.

Wen Liang simply adjusted the seat half flat, and fell asleep.

This kind of journey of one or two hundred kilometers, the comfort of the Maybach 62S rear row is reflected, and the 1.8-meter tall can also lie completely flat.

After lying down, Wen Liang thought about it.

Since the mobile phone business entered the formal implementation stage, Wen Liang has been using the network to accelerate the completion of various operations.

This smooth negotiation with ZTE made Wen Liang feel the convenience, but also the disadvantages.

In a relational society, if Wen Liang can be the first grader, someone can be the fifteenth grader.

If he followed the rules completely, Wen Liang would have experienced the difficulties many times by now, and the difference between the mobile phone business and the Internet business has also been reflected.

Internet business has a strong public attribute, so we must first have the means to do it.

The mobile phone business still tends to be traditional, and there is a business of customizing phones for operators, which can be done without any means.

That's why wilting is so difficult.

On the contrary, Wen Liang preferred to cooperate with ZTE because he also wanted to give ZTE a hand.

On the one hand, since last week, ZTE has been the first to release goodwill.

On the other hand, although Hou Dong's friendliness today is partly due to his gentle background, but after all, Hou Dong can also refuse, return the favor~
In the end, Wen Liang has a good impression of ZTE, and he admires Hou Dong even more. This is a person who has explored a suitable path and dedicated his life to ZTE.

ZTE is the first state-controlled private enterprise to be licensed. There are many opportunities to change the status of state-owned enterprises, and Hou Dong has no idea.

In contrast, it is declining, and it has inexplicably changed from 100% state-controlled to absolute holding by private enterprises.

In short, based on Bolang's current development plan in various aspects, as well as the depth of research and development.

Coupled with the strategic cooperation framework that Bolang has now reached with ZTE, it will obviously only take a short period of time, and ZTE will not be afraid of the restrictions on high-end chips.

Even if ZTE still doesn't feel the need to master high-end chips, etc., with Bolang, there will be room for maneuver even if it is restricted for a moment in the future. ①-
①: In fact, ZTE was the most resolutely implemented in terms of being restricted, and did not give the slightest time to ease, unlike Juchang who gave time and time again opportunities to ease; on the one hand, ZTE’s core technology is slightly inferior, on the other hand, it also means that ZTE is facing The difficulty of the situation is far beyond the imagination of public opinion, and it also shows the importance of public opinion marketing. According to relevant information, after ZTE was banned, it immediately cut off marketing funds to survive...
