Chapter 882 I Know You Won’t Give

Wang Xuehong took a deep breath and looked at Qingyun with a hint of tentativeness in her tone.
“Mr. Xiaoqing, I am very grateful for your early warning and assistance to VIA regarding this crisis.

I think your proposal is in the interests of both of us in many ways.

But with respect to CDMA technology, which is one of our company’s core assets, I’m concerned that it may not be the best choice for licensing.”

What she meant was, why not change it?
She felt that everything could be negotiated except CDMA.

Even according to America's agreement, chipset technology that is more than two generations behind the current most advanced technology is not a problem.

Qing Yun had expected this, he smiled slightly and seemed calm.

"Mr. Wang, I understand your concerns.

CDMA technology is indeed very important to VIA Technologies, and I don't want our long-term partnership to be affected by a temporary cooperation.

Maybe...we can explore other ways of cooperation?"

A trace of relief flashed across Wang Xuehong's eyes, and she nodded.
“I am grateful for Mr. Qing’s understanding and generosity. We can indeed explore more possibilities for cooperation.

VIA also has a lot of technical experience in other fields, and I believe we can find a solution that satisfies both parties.”

Qing Yun shook his head upon hearing this, "Boss Wang, that's not what I meant.

The rest is meaningless to me. But..."

He smiled and said playfully, "Mr. Wang, I completely understand your concerns.

We at Yanhuang Group do not want to damage our long-term partnership with VIA Technologies for the sake of short-term gains.”

Qing Yun's voice became calm and powerful, "Therefore, I can solemnly make a promise to you here.

In the next five years, Yanhuang Group will not sell any mobile phone products containing CDMA technology in the domestic market, leaving VIA with sufficient time and space for market operation.

3G did not develop as fast as people thought at that time. The huge cost of building base stations was prohibitive.

China also started large-scale construction before the Bird's Nest Games.

"Five years? Mr. Xiaoqing, are you sure?"

Wang Xuehong's voice trembled slightly, she felt surprised and grateful.

'Yanhuang Group did not sell its products domestically for five years after obtaining the patent?'
Frankly speaking, given that it involved family matters, it was difficult for Wang Xuehong to refuse Qing Yun’s request.

The plan proposed by the young man in front of her did not make it too difficult for her.

VIA's main battlefield at the moment is China. Since Qingyun is not sold domestically, the two will not become direct competitors.

As for international...

Wang Xuehong found it a little funny.

She doesn't even dare to talk about expanding into the international market.

After all, VIA is a newcomer to the mobile phone industry, so how could it possibly be a rival to European and American manufacturers?

And Qingyun, the Yanhuang Group, just started making mobile phones and it wanted to compete internationally?

Then she could only smile and wish him good luck.

and so……

Is this a joke?
At this time, Qing Yun nodded and continued, "Boss Wang, I am responsible for what I said, and we can sign the agreement.

Not only that, five years later, the mobile phone products sold by Yanhuang Group in the domestic market will only support China's native 3G standard, namely TD-SCDMA.

We hope that in this way, we can ensure that our cooperation in the CDMA field will not be affected by internal competition."

Wang Xuehong's eyes flashed with doubt, and she looked at Qing Yun in confusion, "Boss Qing, I must admit that your promise is of great significance to our cooperation.

However, there is a clear gap in download speed between TD-SCDMA and WCDMA and CDMA2000.

If you do this... aren't you worried about losing your competitiveness in the market?"

She felt that there must be something fishy going on.

Even patriotism cannot explain it.

In everyone's eyes, the 'self-developed' 3G standard TD-SCDMA that Datang bought from Siemens was a pure international joke.

The theoretical downlink speed is only 384kbps.

The speed of WCDMA is 14.4Mbps, and TD-SCDMA cannot even catch up with the decimal point.

Even if HSPA+ technology is introduced, the theoretical downlink speed can only reach 1.2Mbps, which is still not even a fraction of that of others.

Wang Xuehong believes that, frankly speaking, this standard is just to satisfy the Chinese people's beautiful wish to have their own 3G standard.

Qing Yun smiled slightly, as if he had already expected Wang Xuehong to ask this question.

"Mr. Wang, you forgot that the market is not only a competition of speed, but also a contest of wisdom and strategy. I believe that even if there is a gap in speed, we can still win the market through innovation and differentiation. After all..."

He paused, a hint of mischief flashing in his eyes, "Slow down, maybe we can enjoy the scenery of the journey more."

This sentence seemed to hint at something, and also seemed to challenge everyone present's inherent perception of mobile network speed.

Chen Yue had to admit that the youngest kid was very good at controlling the atmosphere of the conversation.

She had been standing silently by the side, with a complex look in her eyes.

As the de facto second-in-command of the Yanhuang Group's management, 'Mr. Chen', she couldn't get a word in at this moment, and could only watch Qing Yun deal with the opposing big guys alone without being able to help. This made Chen Yue feel a little uncomfortable and self-blaming, and she felt like a vase forgotten in the corner.

However, when she saw Qingyun's calm demeanor and heard his answers full of wisdom and humor, she couldn't help feeling a surge of pride in her heart.

This is her man.

"Perhaps this is why I have always been by your side. Even if I cannot speak, I am willing to support you silently."

During the conversation between Qing Yun and the big boss opposite, Chen Yue's inner drama was played out silently. Her eyes were sometimes firm, sometimes gentle, but she never left his figure.

At this time, Qing Yun calmly replied, "Mr. Wang, the technological gap you mentioned does exist, but I don't think it is the only factor that determines market competitiveness.

In the future, in the domestic market, our Yanhuang Group will focus on the elderly mobile phone market, which does not require as much technology as smartphones. "

After he said that, Wang Xuehong finally understood.

Positioning problem.

If Qingyun only targets the elderly market, then there is really no need to consider this issue.

but……

Wang Xuehong said with a half-smile, "Boss Xiaoqing, this doesn't fit in with the tone of your Yanhuang Group."

She has studied the Yanhuang Group carefully these days.

She does not deny that the market for mobile phones for the elderly has huge potential, especially in a country like China with a population of over one billion.

By providing stable, easy-to-use and reasonably priced mobile phones for the elderly, the needs of this specific group can be met while also providing a stable source of income for the company.

However, if we think about the market for mobile phones for the elderly carefully, although the demand is huge, the profit is relatively low and the technical content is not high, which is inconsistent with the high-end positioning of Yanhuang Group.

There must be something fishy behind this.

She felt that this guy was kidding!

Qing Yun shook his head. "Mr. Wang, mature entrepreneurs must respect national conditions. I am now starting to make mobile phones, and they are a domestic brand. How do you think I can compete with international manufacturers in the mid-to-high-end market?
There are at least hundreds of mobile phone brands in China today. I have no reason to compete in such a red ocean market.

By focusing on the senior phone market, we can avoid the fierce competition in the mainstream smartphone market, especially the potential competition with VIA Technologies in CDMA technology.

In this way, we can devote more energy and resources to technology research and development and market development, laying a solid foundation for the company's long-term development."

At this point, he smiled and said, "In fact, to be honest, I didn't plan to sell my mobile phone products in China from the beginning, but to Africa.

Our elderly phones are their main phones.”

Wang Xuehong and Wang Yongqing were both stunned.

"Africa?"

Emperor Yun nodded with a smile, indicating that they had not heard wrongly.

There used to be a book called "Fobole Teaches You How to Identify Lies", which talked about many methods, such as abnormal details.

In fact, most of these techniques are useless.

Wei Xiaobao once said that the most clever lie is one lie mixed with nine truths.

Wang Xuehong understood, and the doubts in her heart gradually dissipated.

In this case, Yanhuang does not really need any advanced technology.

Moreover, the African market is a blue ocean at the moment.

But this was a business she couldn't get involved in.

Because the biggest barrier to entry for this business is having a motherland that has generally good relations in Africa.

She began to understand Qingyun's strategy and admired his foresight and decision-making.

This guy is not simply giving up technological competition, but making a wise choice in the broader market context.

Wang Yongqing gave Qingyun a thumbs up, "Great!"

He was filled with admiration in his heart. Only at this moment did he truly realize the depth of Qing Yun's business vision and strategic layout.

Wang Yongqing knew very well that although the African market started late, it was precisely this fact that made it full of infinite possibilities and opportunities.

Moreover, as the relations between China and African countries become increasingly close, the development of Chinese companies in Africa will receive more support and convenience.

This cross-regional market layout not only avoids direct conflict with international manufacturers, but also leverages China's influence in Africa to open up new horizons.

In Wang Yongqing's view, Qingyun's decision is not only a contingency plan based on the current market conditions, but also a manifestation of foresight.

Make the money you deserve.

"Mr. Xiaoqing, I admire your strategy and foresight." Wang Xuehong said sincerely, "I believe that under your leadership, Yanhuang Group will surely achieve greater success."

Qing Yun's face showed the shyness that a young person should have when being praised by his elders.

This expression almost made Chen Yue next to him laugh out loud.

Emperor Yun's shyness?
But at this moment Qing Yun was laughing wildly in his heart.

His identity as a reborn person gave him a perspective and information advantage beyond that of ordinary people, enough to defeat all those so-called far-sighted people.
