my return 2002

Chapter 327 Rolled up (Ask for a monthly pass!)
In Yang Yuanqing's view, the reason why he lost to Sassafras last time was that he underestimated the enemy. In addition, Lenovo gave up the handheld computer business before and was caught off guard.

Now the mobile phone business is Lenovo's dominant business other than computers. "China Cool Alliance" is not just a casual talk. Meizu and Xiaomi are completely newcomers in the mobile phone field, so there is nothing to worry about.

Moreover, the hot sales of Meizu M7 and Mi 1, as well as the super high price also made Yang Yuanqing very excited. The price of a mobile phone is almost catching up with a computer.

Therefore, Yang Yuanqing decided that he wanted to hit the high-end mobile phone market!
Of course, before that, Yang Yuanqing needs to solve the problem of the mobile phone operating system. With the lessons learned last time, Yang Yuanqing also understands the importance of the operating system.

At present, there are two paths before Yang Yuanqing, one is to discuss cooperation with Xingchen Technology and obtain the authorization of Xingchen System, and the other is to create a mobile phone operating system that can rival Xingchen System.

As for making your own mobile phone operating system?Yang Yuanqing didn't have this option in his mind at all. Although the mobile operating system is not as complicated as the computer operating system, it can't be done casually. It requires a lot of research and development funds and time. It's cold.

Yang Yuanqing chose the latter without hesitation. As the president of Lenovo, how could he use an operating system that once defeated him?
This undoubtedly tells others that Lenovo has lost.

So is there any mobile phone operating system on the market that can compete with the Star system?

Apple counts as one, but Apple is a closed system and is not authorized to be used by other companies.

Symbian is one of them. At this time, Symbian has not been acquired by Nokia. Lenovo has also obtained the authorization of the Symbian system, but after the release of a mobile phone, the sales are not good, so they gave up.

Afterwards, Lenovo gave up attacking high-end mobile phones, and made feature phones with peace of mind to compete with other domestic mobile phone manufacturers for channels and prices, and achieved the ultimate in involution.

With the basis of the previous cooperation, Yang Yuanqing quickly obtained the re-authorization of the Symbian system, and this time he specially recruited a group of technical personnel from Nokia.

Summarizing the lessons of the last high-end attack, Yang Yuanqing believes that the main reason for the previous failure is that they are not familiar with the Symbian system, and there are problems with the adaptation of software and hardware.

And when it comes to the Symbian system, is there anyone who has a better understanding than Nokia?
In Yang Yuanqing's view, the Symbian system is king, which can be seen from Nokia's sales worldwide. Meizu and Xiaomi can also be sold in China, and Lenovo is an international company.

Of course, in terms of software, Yang Yuanqing also thought of Penguin, which had sought cooperation with Lenovo last year.

Brother Xiao Ma was a little puzzled when he received the call from Yang Yuanqing. Last year, he took the initiative to seek cooperation with Yang Yuanqing, but he was ignored at all. Why did he suddenly come to you today?
After talking on the phone for half an hour, Brother Xiaoma and Yang Yuanqing happily hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Brother Ma immediately called Zhang Zhidong to the office.

Zhang Zhidong couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard Brother Xiaoma finished speaking.

"Yang Yuanqing asked us to transplant the QQ from the PC to the mobile phone. Isn't this too much work?"

In fact, as early as 03, Penguin made mobile QQ mobile applications based on the Symbian system. However, due to the limitations of mobile phone memory at that time, the functions of mobile QQ were relatively simple, and Nokia did not take Penguin seriously at that time. The model does not include QQ when it leaves the factory, and users need to download the mobile version of QQ from various forums.

This is still the case even in 07. In front of a behemoth like Nokia, Penguin is not enough to look at at all, and it is not qualified to negotiate conditions at all.

In addition, the mobile phone market in the mainland is still dominated by feature phones, and Penguin has not made great efforts to update the QQ version, just to occupy more users.

Brother Xiao Ma signaled Zhang Zhidong to sit down: "We can completely operate the two versions separately. The previous version remains unchanged, and it still focuses on the feature phone market. This full-blooded version is used to hit the high-end market."

"You have also seen that Meizu and Xiaomi are very strong, and they have completely opened up the high-end market. Once users form the inherent impression that mobile phones that can use YY are high-end mobile phones, it will be difficult for us to change the thinking of users. !"

Zhang Zhidong couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat when he heard the words. Only then did he want to understand why Shen Lang never launched YY based on the Symbian system. Before, he thought that Shen Lang had ignored the huge domestic market for functional phones. It's a big game of chess.

"You are right, we have to grit our teeth and rush to the high-end market!"

At this point, Zhang Zhidong changed the subject: "But, can Lenovo really beat Meizu and Xiaomi?"

Brother Xiao Ma smiled: "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. After all, Lenovo is one of the top 100 companies in the world. Its strength is not comparable to that of Meizu and Xiaomi. And we can't count on Lenovo. Recently, Google has formed an open mobile phone company with them. Alliance, to jointly develop and improve the Android system, it is said that more than [-] software and hardware manufacturers have joined this, we can also take this opportunity to get a share, maybe we can also take the opportunity to open up overseas markets.”

Zhang Zhidong thought it made sense, but he still reminded: "Just in this way, we have to develop applications based on the two systems at the same time, and I'm afraid it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources."

Brother Xiao Ma waved his hand nonchalantly: "Smartphones are already showing signs of rising, we must seize this opportunity, and have you noticed that the kid surnamed Shen has such a deep layout in smartphones, obviously he is also extremely optimistic about this Race track."

Even though he was reluctant in every possible way, Brother Xiaoma had to admit that Shen Lang's vision was indeed more accurate than his.

Almost at the same time, Shen Lang was also receiving various mobile phone manufacturers.

In fact, domestic mobile phone manufacturers at this time are limited by technology and capital, and there are not many brands that can really have a certain market share.

In addition to "China Cool Union", there are Gionee, Bird, Amoi, and Tianyu.

To Shen Lang's regret, none of the "China Cool Alliance" came.

Looking at the "shrimp soldiers and crab generals" that filled the room, Shen Lang felt a little depressed.

Fortunately, it was not without surprises.

"Mr. Chen, are you planning to enter the mobile phone market?" Shen Lang warmly held Chen Yongming's hand.

Chen Yongming was a little caught off guard by Shen Lang's enthusiasm, facing the disdainful gazes of the seniors in the mobile phone industry, he said with a sneer.

"Isn't this here to study and study?"

In fact, the reason why Yongming Chen wants to transform into a mobile phone is mainly due to the influence of Meizu. Meizu, like OPPO, used to make MP3. In the past two years, the MP3 market has been saturated, and the profit has been compressed to the point where it is almost unprofitable. This gave Chen Yongming a headache, and he has been thinking hard about the way out for OPPO.

Until Sassafras took the lead in launching the Meizu M6, Chen Yongming originally thought that the handheld computer was a way out. Just when he planned to follow up, Lenovo's failure poured cold water on him.

Chen Yongming conducted a one-month investigation in Asia, and found that he couldn't find a mobile phone that could satisfy him in the market, so Chen Yongming made up his mind to make a mobile phone.

Just when he was going back to China to show his strengths, Huang Zhang launched the Meizu M7. After the press conference, Chen Yongming got a Meizu M7 for the first time, and after some experience, his eyes immediately lit up. This is his The phone of your dreams.

However, after calming down, Chen Yongming fell into confusion again. Can OPPO make a mobile phone that can compete with Meizu M7?
Obviously without this ability, just when Chen Yongming lost all hope, the release of a mobile phone that he had never heard of, Mi 1, also caused quite a stir.

Chen Yongming bought Xiaomi Mi 1 at the first time, and he was surprised to find that there seems to be no difference between the two phones except for the design.

This made Chen Yongming have a bold idea. Since Meizu is not exclusive, can he also make a similar product?
Therefore, Chen Yongming contacted He Xiaopeng of Xingchen Technology. Since there were many people looking for He Xiaopeng, under Shen Lang's instruction, He Xiaopeng made an appointment with them, and this led to the current scene.

Not only Chen Yongming, but also a middle-aged man named He Mingshou also attracted Shen Lang's attention. Through the other party's self-introduction, Shen Lang knew that this was the founder of Duowei Mobile. Of course, Duowei Mobile was only available at this time. in his conception.

"Mr. He also told me about everyone's reasons for coming here. In principle, the Star System is a completely open and free system."

Xu Lihua, the founder of Bird Mobile, said anxiously: "Mr. Shen, at this time, don't make circles with us."

It is no wonder that Xu Lihua is anxious. Bird mobile phones were in the limelight when they first started, but as the competition in the low-end mobile phone market has become more and more fierce these years, he is ready to transform to build cars.

Also anxious is Liu Lirong, the founder of Gionee.

"Mr. Shen, if you have any conditions, just say it."

Shen Lang looked at this "Future God of Gamblers" and smiled: "Okay, then I'll just say it straight, I can open the source code of the Star System to everyone for free, and you can make various changes to the Star System according to your own wishes." There are several modifications and optimizations, but there is one thing, everyone needs to purchase the Godson 3 chip, otherwise, each mobile phone needs to pay a 50 yuan authorization fee to Xingchen Technology."

There was a lot of discussion in the conference room.

Is the price of 50 yuan for a mobile phone expensive?It's not cheap, you know, for mobile phones like Bird and Tianyu, which are extremely low-priced, the profit of a mobile phone is only that little.

But if it is expensive, it is not necessarily true. After all, mobile phones like Meizu M7 and Xiaomi, which cost 4000 yuan, have a huge profit margin.

Chen Yongming was the first to ask, "Mr. Shen, what is the price of this Godson-3 chip?"

"That's right, Mr. Shen, you can't cheat us, at least you can't be much more expensive than Meizu and Xiaomi!"

"Yes, Mr. Shen, we may not be able to sell smartphones at the same high price as Meizu and Xiaomi."

For a moment, the conference room was full of chaos and noise. Obviously, everyone thought that Shen Lang was planning to double the licensing fee of the star system from Godson-3.

It's no wonder they have this kind of thinking, Shen Lang has invested so much money in the star system, and it depends on when Meizu and Xiaomi sell mobile phones to get back the money.

Shen Lang pressed his hands together, and then said with a smile: "Everyone, don't worry, the price of Godson 3 for Meizu and Xiaomi is the same for you."

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Shen Lang in a daze.

"Boss Shen, are you kidding me?"

"I'm serious, Mr. Shen, keep your word, don't play tricks on us!"

Shen Lang said seriously: "I will never lie to anyone. Not only this batch, but all our Godson series chips and the latest updated versions of the Star system will be treated equally as long as you use them together!"

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became happy and harmonious. Who wouldn’t like to go whoring for nothing? Although there is a limitation of Godson 3, as long as the price is fair, whoever’s chip is not bought?
After signing the power of attorney, the representatives of various mobile phone manufacturers left contentedly. Only Chen Yongming was retained by Shen Lang, and the others didn't care. Not a threat.

Chen Yongming was also a little curious about Shen Lang leaving him alone.

Shen Lang made a cup of tea for Chen Yongming himself: "Come to Mr. Chen and try this year's new tea."

Chen Yongming thanked him, took a sip, and nodded: "Well, it really has a long tea fragrance, good tea."

Shen Lang smiled, and then said seriously: "Mr. Chen, OPPO is transforming into a mobile phone. If there are financial difficulties, I can help."

Chen Yongming was even more puzzled. Could it be that Shen has always had the successful experience of Meizu, and felt that the MP3 manufacturer's transformation into a mobile phone would have a buff blessing?

"Mr. Shen, I'm afraid I have to go back and think about this."

Although OPPO has separated from BBK Group, Chen Yongming still needs to go back and discuss with Duan Yongping to attract third-party investment.

Shen Lang also understood that it was impossible to negotiate at once: "Well, please rest assured Mr. Chen, no matter what the final result is, it will not affect the agreement we signed before."

Chen Yongming secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words.

After seeing off Chen Yongming, He Xiaopeng asked curiously, "Why does Mr. Shen only look at Chen Yongming differently?"

Shen Lang could only pretend to be deep and say: "Intuition."

"cut!"

The news of Star System's open source code quickly spread, causing a huge shock in the entire mobile phone industry in the mainland. Even some manufacturers that had no mobile phone business had a strong interest in it.

Meizu used to make MP3, and Xiaomi has no foundation at all. They can do it, why can't we?

In particular, many MP3 manufacturers are unable to continue in this business. With Meizu's example, they all want to rely on the star system to transform.

Quite a few princes and generals have a kind of taste.

However, in this way, Huang Zhang became more and more dissatisfied with Shen Lang. At first, he thought that there was only one more competitor, Xiaomi, but Shen Lang turned around and open sourced the Xingchen system. What is the advantage of Meizu?
