Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 760 Smartphone Industry Alliance
Hearing that Lu Yiming was finally going to get down to business, everyone's expressions became serious, and they looked at Lu Yiming expectantly.

Everyone can sit here today, don't you just hope to make a fortune with Lu Yiming?
"President Lu, what is this project that makes a lot of money?"

Sect Leader Ren was the first to stand up and ask.

At this time, he had just been sued by Cisco for infringement, and he had a joint venture with 3COM to settle the lawsuit.Warwick urgently needs a victory to bring investors and market confidence back.

Moreover, Lu Yiming was able to organize so many people who seemed irrelevant to everyone, saying that he wanted to start a big money-making project, so no one was not curious.

Everyone has the heart of gossip.

Lu Yiming took out three mobile phones, a Nokia, a Motorola, and an extremely crude PHS phone, all of which are the most representative mobile phones in the domestic market.

Everyone immediately understood that what Lu Yiming was going to say today was definitely related to mobile phones.

In recent years, PHS has been selling very well, making money so much that even Warwick is extremely jealous.PHS business of ZTE and UT Starcom.At the peak of growth, the annual income is 216 billion!
Although it is not just making so much money by selling hardware, it can also be seen from this that the mobile phone business is really promising and has unlimited prospects.

After seeing PHS, Master Ren's gaze became even more complicated.

At this moment, Lu Yiming also looked at the head of Ren, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ren, I still admire you."

Head Ren asked puzzledly: "Oh? How do you say that?"

Lu Yiming praised sincerely: "A man can do something and not do something. Huawei would rather give up the quick money in front of him and focus on the research and development of new technologies. This kind of courage is very human."

In fact, the PHS market was indeed voluntarily given up by Huawei.No one knows whether Boss Ren regretted it afterwards, but it is a fact that Huawei is unswervingly spending money on technology research and development.

You know, PHS is involved in a huge market with a revenue of nearly [-] billion yuan, which is a very huge market opportunity for communication equipment manufacturers who rely on operators.

Riding the wind of PHS, both ZTE and UT Starcom have made a lot of money in it.In contrast, Huawei at this time is choosing to give up this profit, and is very focused on the research and development of 3G network products.

So later, UT Starcom disappeared. Only the former can survive to the end.

At this time, Huawei hadn't developed the fifth-generation mobile communication technology, and hadn't yet dominated the field of domestic mobile phones, so the head of Ren was a little lacking in confidence. He laughed at himself and said, "Boss Lu is absurd."

However, Lu Yiming laughed loudly: "Mr. Ren should not be modest. Who is right and who is wrong, who is better and who is worse, time will eventually tell. Warwick will grow into a great company, we just have to wait and see."

Sect Leader Ren was secretly refreshed by Lu Yiming's fierce praise, but he still said modestly: "I really didn't expect Mr. Lu to be so optimistic about Huawei. Then I will accept your good words."

The boatman picked up one of the Nokia mobile phones and said with emotion: "The production technology of the Nordic people is amazing. The quality of this mobile phone is even inferior to Motorola."

After the business exchange was over, Mr. Ren straightened his face, picked up a Motorola, and said straight to the point: "Mr. Lu, are you really planning to make a mobile phone?"

Lu Yiming smiled and admitted directly, "Yes."

Then he put all the mobile phones in his hands into the trash can in the corner, and said, "But it's not this kind of trash."

Brother Boatman and Sect Leader Ren looked at each other in blank dismay.

Nokia and Motorola mobile phones are obviously very high-end, and the quality is also top-notch. Why are they garbage?

Not to mention far away, compared with the Big Brother a few years ago, it all belongs to Zenith Star Technology.

In contrast, the unremarkable domestic PHS next to it is the real garbage, and there is no signal even in the toilet.

Lu Yiming glanced at the group of people in front of him, and said firmly: "I chose you from among so many people. Naturally, there is a reason. Your company may not be large, but in my opinion, you are Xia Xia. The mainstay of China's manufacturing industry is the leader of the future industry."

Before everyone could react, he clapped his hands, the electric curtains were all closed, and the entire conference room was suddenly darkened.

In the dark, the slide projector started to work, and what appeared on the screen were cell phones full of sci-fi colors that seemed to cross the era and come from the distant future.

"This is!?"

When everyone saw the things on the slide, there were expressions of shock and curiosity on their faces.

This thing seems a bit familiar, but I have never seen it before. This feeling is really weird.

Lu Yiming said: "I call it a smart phone, a personal handheld computer that can surf the Internet and can be carried in a pocket. This is my trump card and the key to future wealth. If we master it, we will Will control the whole world!"

Hearing Lu Yiming's provocative language, everyone present was shocked.

The key to wealth for the future?
Everyone looked at the mobile phone on the slide in amazement.

It has only one screen, square and without buttons, like a flat brick that has been shrunk...

How to use a mobile phone with only one screen?
Do you poke the screen directly?

In fact, the reason why Lu Yiming recruited so many bigwigs in the industry was to cut off Apple and produce a smartphone that belonged to Xia Guo.

For this reason, he must recruit Huawei to be responsible for the research of communication technology, and then let BYD replace Foxconn as a mobile phone OEM.

In addition, BYD also provides qualified batteries for smartphones.

Feixun Technology is responsible for the closed-loop construction of the ecological chain of the mobile phone system, and is also responsible for chip design in cooperation with Huawei.

Fuyao Glass is responsible for providing qualified mobile phone screen glass, while Jingdongfang has to provide high-resolution LCD screen products.

In addition, there are dozens of companies, large and small, responsible for the production of small parts in various mobile phones. The industrial chain from upstream to downstream must run through and cooperate perfectly. On design drawings, it is difficult to realize.

"Mr. Lu, with all due respect, how do I use this phone?"

In the era that Lu Yiming lived in, things that were commonplace, in this era, others can't even understand.

Lu Yiming explained: "It's very simple. I built an operating system into it, and all operations can be completed by clicking on the screen. For example, if there is no keyboard, then make a virtual keyboard on the screen..."

Lu Yiming explained the operating logic of the smartphone, and everyone quickly understood it.

After all, those who can sit here have all made some achievements in their respective fields, and they still have some IQ.

After listening to Lu Yiming's explanation, everyone felt their blood boil.

"This is really the technology of the future."

"There is no doubt that compared to this smartphone, Nokia is indeed rubbish - no, all mobile phones on the market today are rubbish!"

"Not just mobile phones, I'm afraid computers will be replaced by this smartphone. After all, theoretically, it can complete all computer operations, nothing more than a smaller screen, light office and entertainment are no problem at all!"

"Just now I felt that what Mr. Lu said was a bit exaggerated, but now I have to admit that I am small. It is indeed the key to wealth leading to the future."

"Mr. Lu, I have not admired many people in my life, but from today onwards, you must be one. Your idea is really genius!"

Everyone praised Lu Yiming endlessly.

In fact, smartphones, an epoch-making product, are absolutely qualified to bear such praise!

However, head Ren thought of an important point: "Mr. Lu, so you must have solved the smartphone operating system?"

Before the development of feature phones to the emergence of real smart phones, there were some mobile phones using the JAVA programming language, which gradually provided more functions for mobile phones, such as opening WAP pages on mobile phones.

Java was launched by Sun Microsystems in 1995, and immediately after its launch, it brought a new look to interactive applications on the Internet.Two of the most commonly used Internet browser software include a Java virtual machine.Java compilers have been added to almost all operating systems.

Motorola's first dual-frequency mobile phone based on the Java programming language in the world is called TimeportP108, which was successfully developed in the first quarter of 2000.

However, this is still a million miles away from a real smartphone.

To be precise, it is still closer to a feature machine, but it has more functions than the original feature machine.

What Lu Yiming wants to do is to put the idea of ​​the computer on the mobile phone, install an operating system on the mobile phone, and realize various functions. For example, he can freely insert software into the mobile phone, just like downloading software from a computer. intuitive.

Lu Yiming didn't hide anything, and said directly: "The laboratory product has been initially formed. After our smartphone samples are produced, it should be almost ready."

Next, after explaining his vision, Lu Yiming said: "I invite you here today. I just want to launch a Xiaguo Smartphone Industry Alliance. Everyone is working on technological breakthroughs around smartphones. Our goals are the same, and our resources are coordinated. Cooperate with each other. The ultimate goal is to lead the world!"

Brother Chuanfu was a little embarrassed and said, "It's okay to engage in technology research and development, but many technologies may not be able to break through in a short period of time, and even if breakthroughs are made, we are afraid that foreigners will directly reduce prices, preventing our new products from being put on the market."

This is normal. This is the so-called dimensionality reduction strike. If you want to make a technological breakthrough, and your opponent cuts the price of a mature product, you will not be able to recover your research and development costs, and you will just burp.

So why is technological innovation so difficult?The difficulty is here.

The technology itself is the same thing, the key is the market.The market is very honest, it is all about benefits, and whoever has the best value for money will use his stuff.Mature products naturally have advantages in cost.

Lu Yiming knew that if he wanted everyone to climb the technology tree with peace of mind, he had to give a guarantee, so he immediately said: "You can do it boldly, and I will take care of the financing and burning of money. As for sales, as long as everyone makes finished products, it is considered a temporary technology." Almost, as long as the generation gap is not too obvious, I will definitely give priority to using domestic products. The keypad computer under my name is selling so well now, LCD panels, batteries, etc. can be provided by you.”

In fact, even if the product has too much difference in generation and has no commercial value, Lu Yiming is willing to pay for it.

Anyway, he can now make a lot of money by shearing sheep through stories, and there are several foundations shearing sheep all over the world. He is familiar with the future trends and will not be short of money at all.

To a certain extent, money is really just a number.

Because the so-called money, if it cannot be used to allocate resources, is just a pile of waste paper.

Lu Yiming's current position is too high, not only as the richest man in the country, but also a technology giant, his interests and Xia Guo's national interests can be said to be completely tied together, it belongs to both prosperity and loss.

At this time, you have to shoulder the responsibility and move forward with a heavy load.

He is familiar with the history of the future and what the situation will be in the next 20 years, so he must stand up and be the one who waved the flag and told everyone to throw away their illusions and prepare for battle.

According to Lu Yiming's meaning, the ultimate goal of this smart machine industry alliance is to localize the entire industry chain from hardware to software, and even supporting it.

This goal is simply appalling.

Even Sect Leader Ren, who has always advocated self-reliance, felt that this plan was too far-fetched.

"President Lu, isn't this target plan too radical?"

However, Lu Yiming said with a firm gaze: "Don't have any illusions about the core technology. While there is still an opportunity, do everything you can to make a breakthrough and catch up. Look at the island country, what about the economic take-off? Earned So what if you have enough money to buy the whole beautiful country?"

Back then, the island country was technologically advanced and its economy was booming. At its peak, it claimed to be able to buy the entire beautiful country.

But it was because it was too awesome, so the extremes of things would be reversed, and it was clicked directly, and it plummeted.As if "when a whale falls, everything grows", relying on the business split from the island country, semiconductors in Bangguo and Taiwan Province have risen rapidly and become an important force in the world's technology field.

This is the consequence of having the right to speak in the hands of others.There is always a sword of Damocles hanging above his head, and he does not know when it will fall.

When Lu Yiming mentioned the example of the island country, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.But the Xia people have never been intimidated or defeated since ancient times, and the people Lu Yiming invited over are the best among the Xia people who uphold this idea.So after being instructed by Lu Yiming, everyone gradually understood the current situation and opportunity.

Lu Yiming said with emotion: "This world is too small. If we want to develop and make money, we must step on the bones of the enemy to move forward."

Everyone couldn't help being awe-inspiring when they heard the words. The competition of scientific research strength was originally a war where gunpowder could not be seen.

Next, Lu Yiming revealed to everyone more about the future plans of the smartphone industry alliance. Everyone was shocked when Lu Yiming said that even the basic materials and basic equipment had to be produced by themselves.

The whole process is really the whole process, the only difference is that the ore is not produced by itself-of course, this is indeed impossible to produce with the current level of technology.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yiming signed an agreement with everyone, and the Smartphone Industry Alliance was formally established.

Although it didn't seem earth-shattering when it was established, this industry alliance exploded with power that shocked the whole world in the next 20 years.

Of course, these are all things to say, so let’s not talk about it for now.

After the meeting, Lu Yiming arranged a very luxurious dinner.

Head Ren held champagne and said to Lu Yiming: "Mr. Lu, today you have revealed your plan, including the design and principle of the smartphone. Are you not afraid of the news leaking?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Don't worry, because I believe everyone is smart and greedy enough."

When Sect Leader Ren heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what Lu Yiming meant, and laughed too: "Yes, we are greedy enough, so we can keep secrets better."

Now only Lu Yiming is the one who knows best what to do with smartphones. The things presented at the meeting are actually just a design concept, which does not involve the core content, so it doesn’t matter if it is exposed.

In fact, before Apple, there were smartphones, such as business phones that also had no keyboard but used a stylus.

It looks similar to a real smartphone, but isn't it eliminated by the market in the end?
So these are not really important things, the most important part, Lu Yiming is not stupid, how could he say it?

The entrepreneurs who came to join the alliance today were also carefully selected by Lu Yiming. The possibility of leaking the secrets is very small, because they are greedy enough and they all want to make a lot of money.

Only by keeping the secret for Lu Yiming, can they earn excess profits!
So they will also keep this plan a secret!
After figuring this out, Sect Leader Ren couldn't help but sigh, the young people nowadays are amazing, they are so calculated, it is really awe-inspiring, and they are worthy of being the richest man.

The outside world doesn't know that what Lu Yiming is going to do is a cross-generational smart phone. They only know that he has recruited a group of "non-brand troops" from all over the world and threatened to make high-tech products such as mobile phones. The market is very unfavorable to him.

In August, when the second phase of Xinghe Plaza in China Overseas was completed, Lu Yiming went to cut the ribbon in person, but was caught by a reporter who asked him: "Nokia's president, Mr. Jorma Ollila, thinks that Feixun Technology is involved in the mobile phone business. Seeking death, may I ask Mr. Lu what do you think?"

Lu Yiming was blocked by people and had no choice but to answer the reporter's question, but when he opened his mouth, he was shocked: "I didn't want to say it at first, but Mr. Ollila really insisted on asking, so I had to tell him that after 5 years, maybe this There will be no more Nokia phones in the world."

These words were extremely insane, and the melon-eaters who watched the excitement were shocked!

The reporters are even more excited, this topic does not need to be rhythmic, it is enough to be published directly!

Reporter: "President Lu, are you serious about what you just said?"

Lu Yiming straightened his face: "Of course I'm serious. Nokia, Motorola, they can dominate the mobile phone market because I haven't entered the market yet. Once I enter the market, there will only be two types of mobile phones in the world."

He held up two fingers and held his head confidently: "One is the mobile phone I made, and the other is other mobile phones."
