Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 646 Cut Hu MEIZU
When asking this question, Zhong Youxiang was actually very conflicted.

If Lu Yiming made an excessive request, he didn't know how to refuse it. After all, Lu Yiming could be said to be the reborn parent of Maomao Electronics.He has already prepared the materials, and he can go to the United States to collect money soon.

Moreover, Zhong Youxiang quickly went through all the business of the factory in his mind, and for a while he didn't know what kind of cooperation Lu Yiming planned to discuss with Maomao Electronics.

After all, Lu Yiming has publicly stated that he has no interest in making TVs.

However, the business of Maomao Electronics is basically the complete set manufacturing and spare parts production of TV sets.

It's impossible that Lu Yiming is not interested in making the whole machine, but is interested in accessories, right?

Lu Yiming said: "I heard that the mobile phones produced by your company have not performed well in the market recently. If Mr. Zhong doesn't mind, I think I can help."

If you want to talk about other things, Zhong Youxiang may have to think about it, but when it comes to Maomao mobile phone, Zhong Youxiang really does not hesitate.

It is true that Maomao Electronics has a long history, and it used to have a good reputation, but now Maomao is a company that has been eliminated by the times.

Not only is TV not doing well, and its share is decreasing year by year, even other businesses are in a mess now, and the mobile phone business is no exception.

Zhong Youxiang originally wanted to expand his ideas for the mobile phone business, but he didn't expect Lu Yiming to come here uninvited, which made him overjoyed.

He quickly said: "Coincidentally, our Maomao Electronics Group is indeed looking for candidates for the mobile phone business, and plans to make up for the shortcoming of sales. Why, Mr. Lu, are you interested?"

In fact, at this time, Panda Electronics has already found a suitable candidate - Ma Zhiping, a former post office employee in the suburbs of Jinling and a mobile phone seller.

The 36-year-old Ma Zhiping started doing business 12 years ago and is known as "an old horse who drives a Lexus to deliver goods".It is currently the largest mobile phone distributor in Suzhou Province. It is widely rumored in the industry that there is only one model of Kejian 6388. In 26, Ma Zhiping sold about [-] units.

In contrast, the 330 million mobile phones produced and sold by Maomao Electronics seem to be quite a lot, but in fact 280 million of them are Ericsson’s brand, and Maomao’s mobile phones have only sold less than 50 units.

It is conceivable how rubbish the sales department of Maomao Electronics is.

That's why Zhong Youxiang had to find someone to cooperate with and set up a joint venture company, planning to build the Maomao mobile phone brand.

Otherwise, you can't make money with a money printing machine in your hand, and that would be too shameful.

Originally, Zhong Youxiang had taken a fancy to Ma Zhiping, and the company was also discussing this matter, but now that Lu Yiming took the initiative to come to him, naturally there was nothing wrong with Ma Zhiping.

Just kidding, the richest man offered to cooperate, who can refuse?
Lu Yiming had analyzed the current predicament of Maomao Electronics before he came, so he was confident when facing Zhong Youxiang: "Mr. Zhong, I won't talk about other nonsense. Maomao Electronics has technology and products, and I understand marketing and channels. , Mingyuan Technology's achievements are obvious to all, if we can reach a cooperation, it will be extremely beneficial to both of us."

The USB flash drive and MP3 of Mingyuan Technology are the fist products that have killed the Quartet in the United States, and beat the local brands in North America to the ground, so Zhong Youxiang was instantly moved, and the two quickly chatted about the specific cooperation. The details of the plan are to jointly establish a new company called Maomao Mobile to be responsible for the production and sales of Maomao mobile phones.

Due to the special status of Maomao Electronics, Zhong Youxiang insisted that Maomao Electronics must control 51% of the shares of this new company.

Lu Yiming doesn't care about this. After all, in the 2G era, all he needs is technology accumulation. It's already 3. When the 2G smartphone era arrives six years later, all the achievements of the [-]G era will be gone. An overlord like Nokia will fall from the altar and be crushed into mud.

So Lu Yiming didn't care about the shares at all. This thing might be worthless in a few years, so there was no need to waste time fighting for it.

"Mr. Zhong, you have 51% of the new company's equity. I have no objection at all, but I have one condition. The Maomao mobile phone brand must belong to me."

Zhong Youxiang's expression changed immediately after hearing this, and he said, "It is impossible for Maomao Electronics to sell mobile phone licenses. Mr. Lu must be considerate of me. Even if I am the chairman, I don't have the power."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Mr. Zhong, look at what you said, what am I doing with your license? What I want is the Maomao mobile phone brand. You see, I contribute money and efforts, manage channels and sales, and return the majority of the shares in the new company to you." , if I don’t take anything, it’s inappropriate, don’t you think so?”

At present, domestic enterprises do not have a deep understanding of brands, but Lu Yiming has been there, and has witnessed the classic case of Wanglaoji's brand competition, so he naturally knows the weight of the word "brand".

Therefore, he is bound to win the brand of Maomao mobile phone.

Zhong Youxiang persisted for a while, then decided to give in.Now Maomao mobile phones are not well-known in China at all, and they are not worth much at all.Now to Lu Yiming, he thinks it is worthwhile to exchange Maomao Electronics' equity advantage over the new company.

However, Zhong Youxiang was not willing to give in just like this. After all, there is an old saying that if you don’t have anything to do, you can either rape or steal. Lu Yiming took the initiative to treat guests to dinner and offered to give up the shares in exchange for brand ownership. Although Zhong Youxiang still couldn’t see what Lu Yiming wanted to do for a while , but he is sure that there must be great benefits in it, otherwise Lu Yiming wouldn't have to make such a fuss.

They are all out to mix, of course they are all fuel-efficient lamps.Lu Yiming is willing to pay such a high price to change the brand, if there is nothing tricky about it, Zhong Youxiang will not believe it.So with the mentality of making two shots, he asked: "Mr. Lu, can you use the authorized model? You can use the brand of Maomao mobile phone as you like, but the ownership is with us at Maomao Electronics. Everyone Take what you need."

However, Lu Yiming's goal is very clear. He doesn't care about the current petty benefits, but he will never discuss the most basic and fundamental things with anyone.He immediately said with a strong attitude: "No, the brand of Maomao mobile phone must belong to me. This is the premise of all cooperation."

Jiaduobao Group had stumbled against Guangdong Pharmaceutical Group at the beginning. At the beginning, Wanglaoji’s herbal tea brand was worthless, and Jiaduobao was easily authorized by Guangdong Pharmaceutical Group.

But when Jiaduobao made the Wanglaoji brand popular and its products sold all over the country, Guangdong Pharmaceutical Group turned its face in an instant, ignoring the commercial contract and directly took back the Wanglaoji brand to do it by itself, regardless of how Jiaduobao fought. Lawsuits are useless.

Lu Yiming didn't want to repeat the same mistakes, even if this authorization was written in black and white in the contract, it was useless, the brand of Maomao mobile phone had to be won.

Seeing Lu Yiming's insistence, Zhong Youxiang agreed after weighing it up and down.

After all, Maomao TVs are going to be sold in the United States right now, and Lu Yiming, the leader, can't afford to offend him. Of course, the most important thing is that the brand of Maomao mobile phones is not worth much.Although Lu Yiming's insistence made Zhong Youxiang murmur in his heart, he still chose to get the current benefits first.

The most important thing is that Lu Yiming has stated that he will not get a license plate, and the license plate is still in Maomao Electronics.

In Zhong Youxiang's view, the license plate should be the foundation of everything, and whoever holds the license plate has absolute dominance.Now that the license is in Maomao Electronics, even if Lu Yiming got the brand of Maomao mobile phone, it should be useless. Will he have to cooperate with Maomao Electronics?
But how could he have imagined that in a few years, the access system for mobile phone licenses would be abolished, and the value of an operating mobile phone brand would be astonishing.

It can only be said that each other's vision and knowledge are not on the same level at all.

Zhong Youxiang was still greedy for petty profits, while Lu Yiming was already wielding a hoe to dig into the wall.

Seeing Zhong Youxiang let go, Lu Yiming was very happy, took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Zhong Youxiang, and said: "Mr. Zhong is a cheerful person, come on, I will toast you first, and when we choose an auspicious day in another day, we will formally sign a cooperation agreement!"

Two days later, Jinling Maomao Electronics and Yixun Technology under the name of Lu Yiming jointly established Maomao Mobile, which is responsible for the production and sales of Panda mobile phones. Lu Yiming became the chairman of Panda Mobile with a 49% stake.

This shot directly shocked the entire domestic mobile phone industry.

Although the Maomao mobile phone is not selling well, it has a strong foundation after all, and Lu Yiming is famous for being good at marketing and creating miracles. If the Maomao mobile phone is really brought back to life, wouldn't it take away some of the original market share?

Foreign mobile phone brands are okay, and they have an advantage in technology, so they are not too worried.

But the domestic mobile phone brands were completely panicked. Under the calm atmosphere, the undercurrent was surging.

After the inaugural meeting of the new company was over, Li Yiwen couldn't wait to ask Lu Yiming in the background: "Who do you plan to let Maomao Mobile do?"

Lu Yiming looked at Li Yiwen, Li Yiwen's face turned dark immediately: "I warn you, I won't do it, I want to get married, I want to have a baby, I don't have time. And I don't understand this stuff either."

Lu Yiming smiled successfully and said, "I didn't say anything, why are you so nervous? Don't worry, I have already chosen the person in charge of Maomao Mobile."

He took out a personal information and said, "That's him."

"Who?"

Li Yiwen took a look at the information, and asked suspiciously: "Huang Zhang? I've never heard of this person. Is he very capable?"

At this time, Huang Zhang was still an unknown person. No one could have expected that such a high school dropout who was expelled from school and never went to college would create MEIZU one year later. In the 3G era of Xia Guo Occupy a place in the separatist regime.

After reading Huang Zhang's information, Li Yiwen was also a little dumbfounded: "By the way, is the person you are looking for reliable?"

According to the information, Huang Zhang's photo is so young.

In fact, he is indeed very young, only 25 years old.

At the age of 16, because Huang Zhang was too obsessed with electronic appliances, his father "kicked" him out of the house and let him start his own business. Afterwards, Huang Zhang went to Shenzhen alone to work and started his miraculous life of grassroots counterattack.

Before entering the electronics industry that changed his life, Huang Zhang even worked in low-paying jobs, such as porters and other coolies, and even worked as a chef for a while and studied Cantonese cuisine.

Right now, Huang Zhang is just an ordinary employee of Aegean Electronics, a joint venture in Lion City. How could Lu Yiming find such a young man to take charge of Maomao Mobile?
Li Yiwen wondered if Lu Yiming was crazy.

"Are you sure you want such a high school student who is a big screw in the factory to take charge of Maomao Mobile?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Don't you believe my eyesight?"

Even so, Li Yiwen still felt that it was outrageous. After all, Huang Zhang's experience as a worker was too sparse and ordinary, and he couldn't see anything special about him at all.

However, Lu Yiming knew that according to the original historical trajectory, Huang Zhang, who was just an ordinary employee of Aiqin Electronics at this time, would become the general manager of this joint venture next year and own 49% of Aiqin's shares.

It can only be said that the world of geniuses is too outrageous in the eyes of ordinary people, and people can't even understand it.

In the meeting room of Weijian International in Pengcheng, Huang Zhang, who is the special commissioner of Aegean Electronics, is discussing with Bai Yongxiang about the new MP3 product plan. As a product engineer of Weijian International, Bai Yongxiang's professional ability greatly admires Huang Zhang. It can be said that it was like old friends at first sight, and they met each other late, and immediately rubbed the spark of passion belonging to a man of science and technology.

Compared with Huang Zhang, a "grassroots" technician who became a monk halfway through, Bai Yongxiang can be said to be from a "reputable family". He graduated from Chengdu University of Electronic Science and Technology, majoring in mechanical electronics. He was one of the 60 college students admitted in the country that year. The talent is extremely outstanding.

It's a pity that Bai Yongxiang's life is not very good. Until now, he is still an underappreciated talent, and he has struggled in society for many years.First, I worked with the boss of Pengcheng as an audio amplifier, and then I worked as a supervisor of the quality department with a monthly salary of 300 yuan a year at Delta in Guancheng. He has compiled C language, sold Panda brand color TVs for half a year, and fired ceramics in Yu Province. His resume is not ordinary.

The two were chatting happily when Huang Zhang's cell phone rang. Huang Zhang didn't want to answer it, but the ringtone was a bit embarrassing in this scene, so he had to say to Bai Yongxiang: "Boss Bai, I'm sorry, I'll pick it up." Telephone."

Although Bai Yongxiang felt a little grudge in his heart, he still said empathetically, "It's okay, you can take it."

Huang Zhang opened his flip phone and said softly, "Hi, I'm Huang Zhang from Aegean Electronics, may I ask who you are?"

A young girl's voice came from the opposite side: "Hello, I am from the office of the chairman of Future Capital."

Future capital?

Although Huang Zhang is currently driving screws in the factory, he is not someone who has never seen the world. Of course, he is familiar with the famous future capital.

But Huang Zhang was a little suspicious.

She is just a wage earner, and she still works in sales of electronic products. What is a financial company going to do to poach her?
Invest in her to screw?

Isn't that pure bullshit?

Suspicious, Huang Zhang asked, "Hello, what can I do for you?"

It was Yu Jiayi who called Huang Zhang, and she said, "That's how it is. Yixun Technology, which is invested by Future Capital, has joined hands with Panda Electronics to establish Maomao Mobile. I would like to invite you to be the general manager. We can talk about salary."

Huang Zhang didn't agree right away, but said, "I'm talking about an investment right now, can I call you back when I'm free? We'll talk about it then."

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, Huang Zhang said to Bai Yongxiang apologetically, "President Bai, I'm really sorry, Future Capital just called me."

"Future capital?"

Bai Yongxiang expressed shock as expected, and quickly asked: "What are they looking for you for?"

Huang Zhang smiled and said, "They want me to be the general manager of their new company."

Bai Yongxiang sighed: "This is a company under the name of the richest man in Lu. I heard that the salary is very good. Many graduates from prestigious schools want to join if they sharpen their heads."

Afterwards, Bai Yongxiang expressed his doubts again: "No, why did Future Capital suddenly find you? You must have been scammed, right?"

Huang Zhang said: "Actually, I also had the same idea just now. After all, what is my identity? What is the identity of Lu's richest man? We have nothing to do with each other. But the person who called me said that he can let me go to Future Capital for an interview."

Bai Yongxiang asked: "I think it's still a little abnormal. Are you going to go? Do you want me to accompany you to see it later?"

After all, Huang Zhang is only 25 years old now, and Bai Yongxiang is afraid that he will be deceived.

Accompanied by someone, Huang Zhang naturally wished for it, and the two immediately set off for the temporary headquarters of Future Capital in Baiyun City.

The 36-story, fully [-]-meter-high building shocked the two of them.

Yu Jiayi, who had received the news before, was already waiting at the door. After seeing Huang Zhang, she took the initiative to say hello, "Mr. Huang, here."

Huang Zhang walked over, and Yu Jiayi introduced himself, Huang Zhang hurriedly said: "This is Bai Yongxiang Bai Technology, I asked him to come with me to take a look."

Yu Jiayi didn't say anything, and said with a smile, "Welcome to visit."

Huang Zhang couldn't help but asked curiously: "Miss Yu, how much is the monthly rent for starting a company here?"

Yu Jiayi said: "I don't know about this. Mr. Lu has already bought this place as the temporary headquarters of Future Capital. After the headquarters building in Zhujiang New Town is completed, the company will move there."

Huang Zhang and Bai Yongxiang: "..."

Hey, I can't even afford an apartment in a residential area, and Mr. Lu even buys skyscrapers for temporary offices.

Is this the power of the richest man?
What made Huang Zhang even more puzzled was, wouldn't such a skyscraper be enough to be the headquarters of future capital?It can only be temporary.

I don't know what the headquarters building in Zhujiang New Town will look like.

For a moment, the two of them had some expectations.

Yu Jiayi said to Huang Zhang: "Mr. Huang, Mr. Lu is waiting for you up there now. He said he wants to talk to you in person. Come with me."

"President Lu? The richest man in Lu?"

Huang Zhang's heart boiled immediately.It felt like I was in a dream, and I couldn't figure out what point in myself could be appreciated by Lu Yiming.
