Life 1984

Li Yunhai was not joking, but giving an order!
Sun Lu coughed slightly and said: "Mr. Li, I suggested the company expand before, but you didn't agree. I think you are particularly calm and steady. Now that you are so crazy, I think it is better for you to be as steady as before. This leap The magnitude is really huge, it sounds scary! Can we produce and sell 10 million mobile phones per year?”

Li Yunhai took out a mobile phone and asked, "Does any of you know this mobile phone?"

No one spoke.

Li Yunhai said: "This is the new mobile phone that Nokia will release soon. The model is 1011, which will be released on November 11 this year. Although it has not been released yet, there is already an internal machine. I just got it. Nokia is facing The expected sales volume of this phone is 10 units!”

Everyone was talking about it.

Even the new models released by Nokia are expected to sell only 40 units?

So why does Sihai Technology need to expand its production capacity to 10 million units for its second-generation mobile phones?

Sun Lu couldn't help but laugh: "Mr. Li, do you mean that our Meihua mobile phone can beat Nokia and become the global sales king?"

Li Yunhai glanced at her calmly and said, "Mr. Sun, don't worry. I haven't finished speaking yet. The biggest function of this phone is text messaging."

Professor Ni said: "The function of sending and receiving text messages requires the use of the GSM network, which is the 2G network."

The first generation of mobile communications had many shortcomings, such as limited capacity, too many standards, incompatibility, poor confidentiality, low call quality, inability to provide data services, and inability to provide automatic roaming.

Motorola's monopoly on 1G also means that the first generation of communication standards is in the hands of Americans.

The EU was certainly not far behind. In 1991, Ericsson and Nokia took the lead in setting up the first GSM network on the European continent.

Subsequently, 162 countries around the world have built GSM networks, with more than 1 million users and a market share of 75%.

Europe finally surpassed the United States in the 2G era.

Although Li Yunhai knew this development trend, he was unable to change it.

Because they were planning the layout more than ten years ago.

If our country wants to surpass itself, it can only move towards 3G, 4G, and 5G.

Professor Ni brought up the meaning of 2G network because he wanted to tell everyone: "We need a 2G network so that our mobile phones can receive and receive text messages."

The advantages of GSM are very prominent, it is easy to deploy, and it uses a new digital signal encoding to replace the original analog signal; it uses TDMA time division multiple access technology to support international roaming, and provides a SIM card so that users can still store personal data when changing mobile phones. Can send text messages up to 160 characters in length.

The initial text messages have a character limit and cannot send messages that are too long.

Li Yunhai said: "Our country is about to deploy 2G networks. In fact, many regions in the country are already deploying GSM networks. I learned from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications that GSM network construction applications for dozens of regions were approved this year."

Professor Ni said: "It will probably be soon when our second-generation mobile phone is produced."

Li Yunhai said: "We can speed up the GSM construction in Xizhou and make Xizhou the first to achieve GSM network coverage."

The disadvantage of GSM is that its capacity is limited. When users are overloaded, more base stations must be built.

Li Yunhai will assist Xizhou to establish an exchange center and 1 base stations as soon as possible, with service coverage covering the whole city, and the final capacity of digital mobile phone exchanges will be 6 households. There will be further expansion if necessary in the future.

This will also become the first GSM system established and launched in my country.

Sun Ludao: "We help Xizhou build a GSM system, which I can support. But, Mr. Li, your plan to expand 10 million mobile phones is still open to discussion? I don't think our second-generation mobile phone sales will be , it can surpass Nokia’s new model, which is crazy!”

Not only Sun Lu had such doubts, but others also had doubts in this regard.

It's just that the executives of Sihai Group have long been accustomed to Li Yunhai being the master of the matter.

They will abide by any decision made by Li Yunhai unconditionally.

Sun Lu was different. She represented the interests of state-owned assets. She was not very familiar with Li Yunhai. If she had any ideas, of course she had to put them forward.

Li Yunhai said: "Mr. Sun, if you firmly object, I have a proposal."

Sun Lu was startled: "What proposal? Tell me."

Li Yunhai said: "How many units do you think our mobile phones can sell?"

Sun Lu thought for a while and said, "Nokia can only sell 40 units, so we can only sell 40 units at most!"

Li Yunhai said: "Okay. In this case, our cooperation will stop at these 40 units. The production capacity beyond 40 units will be borne by me personally. Of course, other shareholders who want to follow can continue to follow. If you don't agree, I understand. In other words, the production, management, and sales of these 40 mobile phones are all under my control. I am responsible for my own profits and losses and have nothing to do with you. You understand what I'm saying! Yet?"

Sun Lu was stunned.

Does Li Yunhai want to draw a clear line with the state-owned assets?

It's not exactly a good deal either.

But outside certain rules, Li Yunhai stopped taking them to play!
Who makes you too timid to keep up with Li Yunhai?
Sun Lu gritted her teeth and thought for a while, then said: "Mr. Li, I understand what you said. Please allow me to report to my superiors for instructions. I can't make the decision. If the expansion of production of 10 million mobile phones fails, it will be enough to delay Bring down the whole company.”

Li Yunhai nodded and said: "I can understand, please do so."

Sun Lu temporarily exited the conference room.

Today's meeting included executives from Sihai Group and Sihai Technology Company.

Everyone comes together to solve problems.

The state-owned assets side has two representatives, Sun Lu and Jinsha.

Li Yunhai asked Jin Sha, "Mr. Jin, do you want to ask for instructions?"

Jinsha said with a smile: "I personally want to talk to Mr. Li, but I can't make the decision. I think Sun Lu's attitude after asking for instructions should be our attitude. Their senior management will discuss it."

Li Yunhai nodded and looked at the military capital.

The representative of the military capital side smiled and said: "For ten million mobile phones, I guess we don't have that much money. Of course, I personally support Mr. Li."

Li Yunhai looked at Lin Xiaofeng.

The person who is most troubled is Lin Xiaofeng.

She has cooperated with Li Yunhai for so many years and has now become a billionaire, thanks to Li Yunhai's good management.

Any decision made by Li Yunhai in the past, Lin Xiaofeng would support it without any bottom line.

But this time, what needs to be expanded is a production line with a production capacity of tens of millions of mobile phones!

A mobile phone costs 10,000 yuan, and tens of millions of mobile phones cost 100 billion!
This number was completely beyond Lin Xiaofeng's thinking.

Sihai Group is about to go public, and its total market value is estimated to be less than 100 billion.

After selling office equipment for so long and countless computers and printers, Sihai Group has now reached a scale of tens of billions.

It is indeed very aggressive for Li Yunhai to expand such a large production capacity all at once! It’s also hard to keep up with.

However, no one supports Li Yunhai. If even Lin Xiaofeng refuses to support, then Li Yunhai will really be fighting alone.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and said: "I stand firmly on Mr. Li's side. Even if I lose all my wealth, I am willing to advance or retreat with Mr. Li."

Li Yunhai nodded slowly, thinking that my aunt really supports me!
In fact, he also understood that Lin Xiaofeng must be worried, but she could still support him without hesitation, which was really commendable.

After a while, Sun Lu came back from the phone call and said: "Mr. Li, unfortunately, the superiors also think that your idea is not too aggressive, too dangerous, and too bold! We won't follow it!"

Li Yunhai said: "Okay, within 40 mobile phones, will you follow?"

Sun Ludao: "We thought that the maximum number of mobile phones would be 40 units. This is already the sales limit. A mobile phone costs more than 40 yuan, and units is several billion! This sales volume is already huge."

Li Yunhai said: "Okay, let's sign a contract. If there are less than 40 mobile phones, we will jointly operate them, and we will be jointly responsible for the profits and losses. For more than 40 mobile phones, I, Li Yunhai, and my aunt Lin Xiaofeng will operate them, and we will be responsible for the profits and losses." It has nothing to do with you.”

Sun Lu and Jin Sha looked at each other.

Jinsha said: "Sign it!"

This approach can not only ensure the existing cooperation and rights and interests of both parties, but also avoid possible risks of state-owned assets.

After signing the contract, all parties signed and sealed it.

Li Yunhai said: "We have solved the most important thing. In the following meeting, Mr. Sun and Mr. Jin, you can leave. I want to deploy a mobile phone expansion strategy, which has nothing to do with you."

Sun Lu and others were stunned, and had no choice but to get up and leave.

Li Yunhai continued the meeting.

How to expand mobile phone production capacity?

The annual output is 10 million units, or even more!

If all production relies on Sihai Technology's factories, many factories will need to be expanded.

Li Yunhai originally wanted to go into a factory, so he decided to find a foundry.

Nokia and Motorola are both looking for OEMs in China.

No one else had an issue with this.

The advantage of finding an OEM is that you don’t have to build a factory yourself. If there is an order, it will be delivered to the OEM for production. If there is no order, the company will not suffer any loss. What the foundry earns is hard-earned money and labor fees.

Even if you invest in building a factory yourself, you still won't be able to save the money. If it is not managed well, it will even cost more than finding a foundry.

The last time Li Yunhai went to Pengcheng, he inspected the qualifications of many electronics factories and left their contact information for emergencies.

Now it comes in handy!
Li Yunhai personally contacted several electronics factories in Pengcheng.

The boss of Sihai Group personally contacted the small bosses of the electronics factory and expressed their gratitude.

It is also an honor for the small bosses to obtain the certification license from Sihai Group and become their foundry. Everyone knows this truth as it is easy to enjoy the shade against a big tree.

Li Yunhai had a pleasant conversation with them and reached cooperation agreements with several factories.

With the foundry, it will be much easier for Li Yunhai to expand production capacity.

The second generation mobile phone can be put into production as soon as possible!

Li Yunhai already knows that Nokia's 1011 mobile phone will hold a press conference on November 11.

The Meihua mobile phone held a press conference on November 11 and was named the second-generation Meihua mobile phone, also known as Meihua 8.

The press conference will be held in Xizhou.

Less than half a year later, Sihai Group released two mobile phones one after another.

This is enough to prove that Sihai Group has extraordinary scientific research capabilities and innovation capabilities.

Before the release of Plum Blossom 2, there was no news from the outside world.

No one knows what this phone looks like.

On this day, Li Yunhai was working in the company.

Su Hong walked in and said, "Mr. Li, there is a letter from the Legal Department. It is a letter of prosecution."

"Oh? Is it from Nokia?"

"Yes."

"Well, they finally sued. That's a good thing. We have to build up some hype before we launch."

Su Hong just laughed.

The next day, the news that Nokia sued Meihua for infringement of mobile phones spread throughout the major media.

Not only domestic media, but also foreign media are rushing to report on it.

Influential newspapers such as The New York Times, The Times, and The Yomiuri Shimbun all put the matter on the headlines.

In this news, the most eye-catching word is probably the Meihua mobile phone.

The first reaction of everyone who saw the news was: "Meihua phone? What kind of phone is this? Why have you never heard of it? It's actually worth suing Nokia!"

No one knows about this phone.

But everyone is curious.

So many people will naturally inquire and understand through various channels.

Nokia did not expect that they just sued an obscure mobile phone brand and became a hot topic around the world overnight.

In the global mobile phone field, in addition to Motorola, companies such as Nokia and Ericsson are the most famous.

Nokia's lawsuit was originally intended to be settled in my country, as long as the Meihua mobile phone stopped infringing. As for the incidental compensation, they did not expect to get it.

But Meihua Mobile was very stubborn. Instead of apologizing, it accepted the lawsuit.

As for why this ordinary lawsuit became so public, Nokia could never have imagined it.

Because they couldn't have imagined that it was Li Yunhai himself who was hyping up.

Normally, the defendant would be very scared and would like to settle the matter as soon as possible.

But Li Yunhai did the opposite and used litigation as a magic weapon to gain popularity and traffic.

Meihua Mobile immediately issued an announcement, saying that our mobile phones have more than 95% of independent intellectual property technology, individual parts are obtained from legal suppliers, and all intellectual property rights of the entire machine are free of any infringement. We accept the test from any party and are not afraid of provocation from any party!

Nokia became the provocative party.

This made Nokia furious!
Outrageous!

The people who eat melons do not know the ins and outs of the matter, nor do they know the truth of the matter.

After they saw Meihua Mobile's statement, they didn't have much reaction.

When are you more looking forward to when this lawsuit will go to court?
Just like war, few people care about the process and only want to know the result.

Li Yunhai did not disappoint everyone, because he also wanted to open the court as soon as possible!
On Friday, November 11, the lawsuit between Meihua Mobile Phone and Nokia was heard in the Western State Court.

The reason why the trial could be held so quickly was of course because Li Yunhai was behind it.

When other people respond to lawsuits, they just want to delay the lawsuit and postpone the court date.

But Sihai Group just wants to hear the case as soon as possible.

The two people who were splashed with water by Li Yunhai at the Canton Fair attended the trial on behalf of Nokia.

Li Yunhai did not attend, but sent Sun Lu to respond to the lawsuit on behalf of Sihai Technology.

Sun Lu submitted all the patented technologies of Meihua mobile phones to the judge.

More than 95% of the patented technologies are owned by Sihai Group.

There are also some parts purchased from Pengcheng.

Sun Lu also issued a purchase order and a cooperation agreement.

Every part of Meihua mobile phone has never infringed on anyone’s patent rights.

The other party’s lawyer believed that several technologies used in Meihua mobile phones were unique to Nokia, and they had not authorized production to anyone, so they determined that Meihua mobile phones were infringing.

Sihai Technology’s lawyers defended themselves, saying that we purchased products from regular factories and that we were only consumers and users and should not bear any responsibility. Even if the supplier provides unauthorized products, we are also victims.

It's like when we go to the market to buy something and what we buy is a pirated version, am I still guilty? Shouldn't it be the businessmen who manufacture and sell these goods who need to be held accountable? Consumers are victims, how can they become defendants?

The other party's lawyer believed that Meihua Mobile was a large company engaged in commercial activities and should be responsible for the products it produced.

Our lawyer believes that whoever makes the claim must provide evidence. If you say that our products are infringing, please provide evidence. Our suppliers clearly have your authorization, and we have a copy of their authorization letter here.

The other party's lawyer said this was false, but later changed his story and said that there had indeed been authorization before, but later the other party's authorization was canceled because the two parties did not agree on the authorization fee.

Sun Lu said that the date on the authorization letter clearly ended in October this year. All the parts we purchase, we purchase before October. Even if the agreement between you and the supplier has been broken, it has nothing to do with the products we purchased.

Lawyers on both sides were at loggerheads and refused to give in to each other.

Finally, ask the judge to pronounce a sentence.

After deliberation, the judge made the following decision.

Sihai Technology Co., Ltd., all business operations and products sold are compliant and qualified, and there are no infringements.

The evidence provided by the plaintiff is insufficient and the request made is too absurd. This court will not support it.

The result of the lawsuit was that Sihai won!
Nokia loses lawsuit!
The opposing lawyer expressed dissatisfaction and will continue to appeal.

The next day, the news that Meihua mobile phone beat Nokia once again became a hot topic in the global media.

This time, even the official television stations of Britain, the United States, Japan and other countries also broadcast the news.

For a time, Meihua mobile phone became one of the hottest words.

It’s just that many people still don’t know what the Meihua mobile phone that won the Nokia lawsuit is?
At the Canton Fair, although several companies placed orders, the contract stipulated that they would be shipped two months later, so there are no Meihua mobile phones for sale in the global market at all.

Even if international friends want to know about this phone, there is no way to find out.

The more mysterious it is, the more people will remember it.

Just like the beautiful woman holding the pipa with her face half-covered.

The world will soon know what the Meihua phone is.

Because the next day is the global launch of Meihua mobile phone.

Li Yunhai will use a unique mobile phone to start a business war at the end of the century! (End of chapter)
