  Chapter 266 Simple Mobile Phone (2)

   It sounds pretty good.

  The profit prospect is good, the investment is small and the results are quick, and it is backed by such a huge market. With Sohu.com and Tencent.com for promotion, if the quality and price are okay, it should not be a big problem to open up sales.

The mobile phone manufacturing company that I plan to invest in is quite good. In Ye Dongqing's opinion, the company called MediaTek is better. If this business is developed and the low-end mobile phone component market is controlled, it should be very rich. It's a pity that Ye Dongqing knows that the fool's machine won't be popular for a few years, otherwise he can really try to invest, maybe he can make some quick money in the past few years, wait for four or five years after investing, and then withdraw after making a fortune .

In fact, he also doesn’t think he can cooperate with Boss Zhang for too long. After the smart phone appears, if he notices something wrong, he will definitely sell it immediately to cash out. After all, unlike Apple, which has many patents and research and development capabilities, It can give him the confidence to hold for a long time.

  Of course, he would not be so stupid as to tell Boss Zhang these things. He was thinking about some problems he noticed during the conversation just now, mainly focusing on the company called MediaTek and getting the equity ratio that best suits his interests.

Boss Zhang is always talking about how easy it is, which makes Ye Dongqing want to leave him alone and do it alone. However, it is not so easy to get a communication license. It is better to form a joint venture with a local enterprise in Huaxia. It is our consensus, because they are worried that pure foreign capital will have problems in the future. It is not long since joining the WTO. Investors are worried that policy changes are normal, and confidence will take time to accumulate.

   "Is the mobile phone produced in this way reliable? Look at my mobile phone, one of the most exquisite models in the world. It doesn't matter if it doesn't reach this level, but it can't be too bad. Mr. Zhang, did you bring a prototype?"

Ye Dongqing raised the question in his heart, 400 million yuan is not a small number, converted into US dollars, it is almost 50 million US dollars, the cost of investing in Tencent at that time was slightly more than this amount, he did not want to end up Can't even recover the cost.

"Your mobile phone... looks high-end. Even if it only sells for 5,000 RMB in China, most people are reluctant to buy it. Our positioning is the mobile phone for ordinary people, the kind that can be bought with only one or two months' salary. "Zhang Chao opened the briefcase and took out a white box from it, which had already been opened.

He came to discuss cooperation with Ye Dongqing, how could he not take the sample with him, he helped to open it, took out the phone, and told him: "MediaTek sent me three prototypes, this is one of them, and I gave the other two to the secretary Trial, they told me that it is quite good to use, making calls, sending messages, address book, computer and so on, all the necessary functions are available, MediaTek will make a second generation that can play music and record function in the next step product."

  The shape can only be considered average, not ugly, but it is not good-looking. It has an antenna on it, and it is neither a flip cover nor a slider. It is an ordinary mobile phone with red decorative stripes on the side. It just looks ordinary.

World-changing products are currently in Apple's laboratory, and it will take some time to be truly developed. Ye Dongqing doesn't need MediaTek's mobile phone to be beautiful, as long as it can be accepted by consumers. Considering the low price, It is indeed a good product, with a black and white screen and relatively large fonts. After removing the back cover, you can see the groove for the battery and the card.

In recent years, the replacement of mobile phones has been very fast. When Ye Dongqing first bought a mobile phone in 2002, there were very few products to choose from. In the end, she bought a Nokia mobile phone to make do with it, and then replaced it with a local tycoon Vertu. , Panasonic’s flip phone with a zoomable camera has shown actual photos, and it will be released soon. There are also rumors that a Sharp phone that supports optical zoom will be released soon. Jobs mentioned it to Ye Dongqing, saying that he was in contact with Sharp. Talk to them about technology licensing, and it is likely to have to purchase mobile phone camera components from Sharp.

These mobile phones currently occupying a high point in the industry are excellent, but their shortcomings are very obvious-the price is too high. On the premise of having practical functions, the mobile phone in Ye Dongqing's hand should be more popular. After all, buying it can save money. A lot of money, calling and text messaging are the two most important functions of mobile phones today, and MediaTek's products have both.

   "If more effort can be made on the material and appearance of the shell, it should be able to achieve some results in the low-end market. It mainly depends on how to promote it, how to sell it, and the after-sales maintenance must also be done well."

As soon as the subject changed, Ye Dongqing put her phone on the coffee table, raised her head and continued to speak: "Of course, the cooperation agreement has not been signed yet, so it's a little early to talk about these issues, thank you for your efforts, so I can give you one more At that point, it is still the investment ratio, which can increase your equity to 21% at most.

Maybe you will say that you will spend more time and energy, but it is impossible for me to be idle and wait until the factory starts to open up the international market. I will definitely contribute more in this regard. You should know that I am fully capable Go it alone. At present, there are more than one or two companies developing the mobile phone manufacturing industry in mainland China. I also have contacts with other companies. If you sign a contract with me first, you can get the money and start preparing to start construction. Maybe the market will be big enough for us to contract MediaTek’s production capacity. , selling mobile phones to Southeast Asia, India, Europe, and Canada. Consumers in these countries also need cheap mobile phones, and I have the ability to achieve transnational operations. "

  One point of concession is far from the number that Boss Zhang imagined. In fact, it is not too far. It is about four points. His original estimated bottom line is 25%.

When he heard Ye Dongqing say the following words, he immediately swallowed the word "lower". It was only at this moment that he realized that his appetite was still small. Before, his eyes were only on China, and he never thought of selling it to other countries. I was thinking of the phrase "covering the production capacity of MediaTek". So far, only MediaTek has launched this mobile phone manufacturing service solution, which means that there is no competitor in the short term. If it is really successful, it will be profitable. how much is it?

  My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Moreover, he found that Ye Dongqing really didn't need him very much. He had no experience in cross-border sales and production of mobile phones, nor did he have enough start-up capital. He immediately began to worry about being left behind. There was no one in the mall, and there were pitfalls everywhere. Looking at 21 percent of the shares seems to be pretty good.

  In just a few seconds, Boss Zhang had calmed himself down. He stopped putting on airs and put on airs. He stood up and stretched out his hand, smiling, "Deal!"

  …
