20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3340 Zhao Changan’s Conclusion
Although Zhao Changan later invested heavily in BlackBerry and achieved great success, he immediately established the North American headquarters of Nano-Tech and put all of its North American assets into it.

This behavior inevitably makes people suspicious. Although he succeeded in this gamble, this success came with his transfer of BlackBerry's controlling shares into Innolux North American headquarters, and the headquarters is registered in Seattle.

This is equivalent to changing the company originally controlled by Toronto and belonging to the Maple Leaf Country into an M Country company.

Although Zhao Changan can control this company, domestic policies cannot exert influence on this company.

It can be said that he still withdrew more than 6 billion RMB from the country to invest in North American companies. At the same time, he invested another 20 to 30 billion yuan in Star City to establish a completely independent Nano Star City Corporation.

By this calculation, Zhao Changan has taken out more than 9 billion RMB from China, while the total value of all his assets in China is estimated to be only 50 to 60 billion.

What is certain is that the total domestic debt of One Nano will not be less than 70 to 80 billion, and the net assets will be at least more than 2 billion.

At this time, this young man in front of him actually started a new, larger mobile phone industrial zone in Zhengzhou, and publicly declared that within a few years, the annual production capacity of Pro mobile phones would exceed 10 million units.

These data can be easily found and summarized in the East, so during the quick tour, Nakata Yukihiko asked the questions in his mind.

"Why are you so obsessed with the mobile phone industry? Now, Innolux holds a controlling stake in BlackBerry, a high-tech company that is now unrivaled in the world's mobile phone field, and also holds a stake in Excellence Technology, a mobile phone company with the highest sales volume among domestic brands in China. Why do you want to start from scratch to make this Pro phone? Isn't this an excessive waste of resources?"

Yukihiko Nakata is less than 40 years old this year and belongs to the young new generation of Sharp. Considering that Takashi Okuda, who is nearly 50 years old, has poor English listening and speaking skills, they communicate in Japanese, with the female translator from Sharp translating.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Junji Sakamoto exaggeratedly turned on the small recorder and started recording. Zhao Changan did not think about anything that would take time, but casually said his answer to everyone.

"The current mobile phone industry is still in the trial and error stage before the leap. Your company has geniusly installed a camera function on the J-SH04, creating an essential element for future mobile phones."

Because it took time for the female translator to translate, Zhao Changan did not speak quickly.

As this passage was translated into Japanese, Zhao Changan noticed that several senior executives from Sharp had various abnormal expressions on their faces, including embarrassment and annoyance.

Apparently, they still doubt themselves for launching such a ridiculously stupid and terrible product two years ago.

It can be said that the various ridicules and criticisms that J-SH04 encountered after its launch on the market, and the fact that Machida Katsuhiko was ambitiously betting on the field of LCD panels, led to a significant reduction in R&D funds in Sharp's mobile phone industry. It no longer worked hard to innovate and reform, but instead borrowed and imitated the design elements of other mobile phone companies. Because these Japanese mobile phone companies had no intention of going overseas, after all, Europhobia was very serious here, and they had no confidence to compete with European and American mobile phone companies for the market overseas.

Then why not just imitate honestly in Japan? Why invest so much money in research and development?

That is to say, after J-SH04, while Sharp was cutting its semiconductor business, the R&D funds of the entire mobile phone division were greatly reduced.

Although many models have been launched in recent years, they are all copies and imitations, and have completely lost the motivation for innovation.

Zhao Changan did not pause, giving them time to savor the bitterness, and continued, "If we say that Excellence Technology's OT series is a copycat of the Western established mobile phone industry, the only innovation is the addition of mobile phone plug-ins and decorations, as well as more novel marketing methods."

When he saw the female translator looking at him with embarrassment and confusion, he realized that "learning to walk in Handan and following the rules of Cao" was beyond her ability.

I had no choice but to explain the meaning of the two idioms to the female translator as briefly as possible, and then waited for her to translate.

"BlackBerry is pursuing and restoring the essential function of the mobile phone as a tool, which is information connectivity. Mike and his engineers have been working hard to achieve the most essential comprehensive function of mobile phone call quality, battery life, efficient compilation, effective delivery and security of information. And a series of technological advancements and innovations have been carried out around this core definition."

This one is easier to translate. Seeing that Zhao Changan no longer embarrassed herself with his tricks, the female translator couldn't help but look at him with gratitude.

Zhao Changan had noticed this female translator before. She was in her early thirties, not tall, with thick legs, and a body that was not very slender and well-proportioned, but with fair skin and a strong figure. Even though her figure was not well-proportioned, it was slender. Her face looked like the kind of good-looking women in many Japanese movies, especially her body was very feminine, like a boss visiting the house, a plumber coming to fix the water pipes, or the husband being away on business and the father-in-law being at home.

So Zhao Changan smiled at her warmly and friendly, and continued: "These two brands of mobile phones have various characteristics and advantages. One is to passively accept Alcatel's mature models and enjoy the fruits of its labor, and the other is to constantly challenge oneself and pursue the progress and innovation of the essential functions of mobile phones. However, I think that making mobile phones should actually have a third form, which is why we should make mobile phones?"

"The purpose of making mobile phones is of course to make profits for enterprises, but from another perspective, the purpose of making mobile phones is to allow users who spend money to get more useful functions and added value from the products. This is why I am full of praise for your company's J-SH04, just like the S10 launched by Siemens and your company in the same year. Although the S10 is not a successful product, it has pioneered the field of color screen mobile phones. Now we can see that color screens will be an essential element of future mobile phones."

"The only difference between color-screen phones and camera phones is that after S10, all major mobile phone manufacturers have been developing in this direction, and as the technology matures, they have completed the trajectory in this direction. The disadvantage of camera phones is that the technological innovation and progress are a little slower than color-screen phones. However, I can say responsibly that this general direction is correct and affirmative!"

This was the first time that Zhao Changan mentioned in public that camera phones will be a standard feature of future mobile phones.
