Great country technology, I have a system where hard work pays off!

"But if we want to build our own production plant, then we won't have the money to build the company headquarters."

"Our company headquarters construction funds require 5 billion yuan! Our income can't support the construction of two major projects at the same time."

"Moreover, we have now officially launched the research and development of mobile phone CPU processors, GPU graphics processors, and communication baseband chips."

"These are all very expensive research and development projects. There will be many places where money is needed in the future. Where can we squeeze out so much money to build a factory at the same time?"

Chief Financial Officer He Tong expressed her concerns, causing the expressions of everyone present to instantly freeze.

Yes, there's only so much money. You can't possibly spend one yuan as if it were two.

With limited funds, they had to prioritize and choose which to do first, and then which to do later.

"We can buy suitable land first, and then slowly build later. There's no rush. Anyway, it will take at least a year, or even two years, for the company headquarters to be completed."

"Without our own company headquarters, we can rent commercial floors from others. It's just not as convenient or prestigious."

"But without our own factory, it's like handing our lifeline into the hands of others. How can we sleep at ease?"

Speaking of this, Gao Nian turned to Lei Bu and asked:

"President Lei, what's your opinion?"

Hearing Gao Nian's question, Lei Bu thought for a moment and said:

"The construction of the headquarters can be delayed. After all, we can rent commercial floors from others to use first. Let's buy the land first and then build the factory."

"Although we will have more things to deal with after building our own factory, the profit from mobile phones will also be much higher, giving us greater room for price reductions."

Seeing this, CFO He Tong said:

"Since both BOSSes have decided to suspend the construction plan for the company headquarters, then I have no objections."

Thus, with CFO He Tong no longer objecting, the decision to suspend the headquarters construction plan, instead only buying land and prioritizing the construction of the factory, was made.

With the nearly five billion yuan saved by suspending the company headquarters construction plan, a not-so-small factory could be built in the future.

As for the factory's construction location, it would naturally be placed in Dongguan City, the place where Geek Technology started.

After all, Dongguan City has the most skilled workers in China, as well as a good policy environment and supporting production factories.

Placing the factory in Dongguan City can save a lot of transportation costs and speed up the production and implementation of products. Moreover, it will be more convenient for product exports in the future.

"Zhang Feng, continue to introduce the situation."

Gao Nian said to Zhang Feng.

"Yes."

Hearing this, Zhang Feng stood up again and said with a smile:

"The situation of the three major businesses of Internet, computers, and mobile phones has just been introduced. Next, there are two more good things to talk about."

"The first good thing is that MediaTek, the company that single-handedly created the shanzhai mobile phone empire in Taiwan, has approached us. They want to form an alliance of interests with us."

"Then they gave us 2 million yuan, wanting our native Geek Smart Phone System to support MediaTek's mobile phone processors."

"Instead of requiring other mobile phone manufacturers to deeply customize and modify the open-source Geek Smart Phone System before it can support their mobile phone processors."

"We naturally couldn't refuse their proposed cooperation requirements, and they even gave us 2 million yuan to pay for our employee salaries."

"Because they are one of the world's three major IC design manufacturers, second only to Texas Instruments and Qualcomm."

"In the mobile phones produced in China, 50% of the mobile phones use MediaTek's mobile phone processors."

"If we really cooperate and form an alliance, we can greatly increase the market share of the Geek Smart Phone System."

"Thereby allowing global game software developers to develop games and software on our system without hesitation."

"So we agreed, stating that from now on, the Geek Smart Phone System will always natively support MediaTek's mobile phone processors."

Hearing this, the people present were also somewhat happy that the future of the Geek Smart Phone System was stable.

After all, MediaTek's processor market share is 50%. At this time, MediaTek has invested in the Geek Smart Phone camp.

According to the data released by Chinese statistical agencies this year, 250 million of the more than 500 million mobile phones produced in China each year will use the Geek Smart Phone System!

Of course, these are just theoretical results. The real situation may not be as good as imagined.

After all, MediaTek only wants the Geek Smart Phone System to support their mobile phone processors. It does not mean that MediaTek will not support other mobile phone systems.

For example, they may switch to the Android mobile phone system camp and join the Android system alliance.

After all, according to the currently known information, Guggle Corporation has been quite restless since the release of the Geek S1 Smart Phone and the open-sourcing of the Geek Smart Phone System.

But let's not talk about the distant future. While the people present were happy to be able to cooperate with MediaTek, Marketing Director Zhang Feng also announced the second good news:

"The second good news is that Sprint, one of the four major mobile communication operators in the United States, ranking fourth, has approached us."

"They said they want to cooperate with us to create a batch of contract phones to sell to consumers, boosting Sprint's increasingly poor performance."

Speaking of this, Marketing Director Zhang Feng said with a smile:

"In our China, there is a saying that you rely on friends when you go out and brothers at home. This saying also applies overseas."

"Under normal circumstances, if our Geek S1 Smart Phone wants to be listed in the United States, it generally needs to go through three to six months of review."

"But now with Sprint, they said they can use their relationships to speed up the review process of the Geek S1 Smart Phone and compress the time to one month."

"So, if we really cooperate with them, we can not only solve the problem of how to quickly get mobile phones listed in the United States to make money, but also have a large mobile phone sales channel."

"What's the cost?"

Gao Nian asked Marketing Director Zhang Feng.

There won't be free lunches in the sky. There must be gains and losses.

"The cost is that we have to give Sprint a lower mobile phone ex-factory price. Our mobile phone profits will be reduced by about 40%, leaving only 60%."

"40% of the profit, what a vampire."

Game Department Minister Gao Peng cursed, feeling a little heartache.

Because he knew that Sprint must be eating from both ends, taking mobile phones from Geek Technology at ultra-low prices on one hand, and then selling them to consumers at normal prices on the other hand.

In the end, they ate the profits of Geek Technology and the profits of consumers. This is the routine of mobile communication operators!

"40% is 40%. We don't have the right to negotiate now."

"Let's cultivate the US market first. When our Geek Technology brand becomes well-known in the United States, will Sprint dare not agree if we want to raise prices in the future?!"

Gao Nian made his decision.

Although this decision has a hint of admitting defeat and bowing his head,

Gao Nian naturally knew that the world doesn't revolve around you, and he also knew the principle that businessmen don't get up early without profit.

Compared to short-term interests now, Geek Technology should choose long-term interests and open up the situation first.

"Yes."

Marketing Director Zhang Feng agreed, with a hint of joy on his face.

Because the United States is the most important market in the world. They are not only the country with the highest consumption power in the world, but also the consumption vane of the world. When a product can become popular in the United States, other countries will definitely follow suit. This truth has been proven countless times!

After all, under the years of cultivation of Hollywood, countless people around the world are proud to like American culture and are proud to be able to use American products.

When something that can become popular in the United States is heard by people around the world, they will have a great sense of goodwill and curiosity about that thing and want to experience it.

In the end, if the product quality and function are indeed not a problem, it will naturally become popular, forming a magical business phenomenon that a product that becomes popular in the United States will definitely become popular globally.

Therefore, Geek Technology cannot give up the US market. Instead, it must attach great importance to the US market and treat it as seriously as the Chinese market.
