Our Rise Era

Chapter 112: Gathering Fists (Part )

[Shengxing] mobile phone is the earliest brand mobile phone in China...

A long time ago, he started out by selling a product called "Xiao Shentong" which was connected to a telephone and wirelessly.

In the millennium, [Little Avatar] was released...

In August 2002, the total sales volume of "Little God" exceeded 8 million!
In June 2003, the number of users exceeded 6 million!
By the end of May 2004, the total number of users exceeded 5 million...

……

After 05, the Xiaoshentong telephone gradually faded out of the user's view. It happened that the R&D department put forward the slogan of one-stop service...

The senior management of Shengxing realized that smart phones were the future, so they contacted the R&D Department as soon as possible and directly used the MTK system of the R&D Department, becoming the first-level partner of the R&D Department...

3 years!

Although [Novia] and [Samsung] mobile phones were rampant in China, sweeping up nearly 50% of the market, [Shengxing] mobile phones, as the leading brand of domestic mobile phones, were still thriving in the face of numerous overseas brands. At its peak, it took 10% of the total sales of mobile phones in China...

Originally, the senior management of the [R&D Department] thought that this kind of cooperation could continue, but no one expected...

When Google announced that the Android system would be open source...

When Joe Tech, the head of the Android system, came to China to form the Open Handset Alliance...

[Shengxing] suddenly announced its joining of [Open Handset Alliance] without any warning...

Once again, they placed their bets on the Android system.

....................................

in the office.

The aroma of tea fills the air.

"We were really surprised that he would choose Android... In fact, my father and I were very surprised... After all, we all felt that even if the [Open Handset Alliance] was really established, it would take at least more than a year for the Android system to be open source and launched on the market. During this time, there would be a lot of variables..."

Guo Shanming took a sip of tea and looked out the window silently.

During this time...

The senior management of [Shengxing] talks with the [R&D Department] about contract termination almost every day.

At first, the father advised them to stay calm...

But after seeing their attitude, the father realized that they were very determined this time.

It seems that the termination of the contract is just a matter of time. At most, after a month of receiving goods and digesting the production capacity, [Shengxing] will no longer use their [R&D Department] system.

And because of the termination of the contract with Shengxing, Guo Shanming urgently needs to find a new spokesperson in mainland China...

"There are many variables, but it is undeniable... maybe Shengxing did the right thing this time..."

When Zhang Yang heard this, his expression did not change much, and he said this calmly.

"Mr. Zhang, do you also think that Android has more potential than our [MTK] system in the future?" Guo Shanming frowned when he heard this.

Zhang Yang did not respond, but looked out the window in silence.

The MTK system is indeed very good, but it is only suitable for mid- and low-end mobile phones.

Moreover, the biggest drawback is that the [MTK] system cannot be opened for operation...

To put it bluntly, the systems in copycat phones are all prepared in advance, and it is impossible to install independent software in the true sense.

However, Android's open source is different. From low-end to high-end, every series has a solution adapted to it, and its coverage is even greater.

"Mr. Zhang, but I hope you can understand that now, we in China have three major systems. In addition to Nokia's Symbian system and Samsung system, the next is our [MTK] system. Even the newly appeared iPhone's IOS system cannot achieve such a wide coverage. I don't know why you all think that the future Android, which does not even exist now, will be the battlefield that surpasses our system..." Guo Shanming narrowed his eyes after seeing Zhang Yang's silence.

When Zhang Yang heard this, he smiled: "Not necessarily. Let me think about it first, Mr. Guo... After all, I still feel pressured by hundreds of millions of funds a month. After all, we don't have a strong foundation..."

"It's okay, Mr. Zhang, this time, I came here with sincerity..." Guo Shanming nodded. Although this cooperation and exchange did not achieve the results he expected, Guo Shanming was still very sincere.

He stood up, and when Zhang Yang left the office, he pointed to five technicians from the [R&D Department] and said, "Mr. Zhang, they came from Taiwan to assist you with technology. If you have any technical problems in the future, you can consult them... Well, you don't need to pay any extra fees... The [R&D Department] will cover the food and accommodation expenses!"

"it is good!"

Looking at these technicians, Zhang Yang nodded.

When he walked out of the door, Guo Shanming looked at the countless mobile phone brands that came to cooperate with him. When he was about to get on the car, he stopped and looked at Zhang Yang seriously: "Mr. Zhang, I hope you have confidence in us. We not only have our own motherboards and systems, but in the future, we will also have our own chips..."

"it is good!"

..........................................

Late at night.

Zhang Yang sat alone in the office, silently thinking about his future path.

In the original world, Android system is the mainstream of the future.

The future [MediaTek] is similar to the [MTK] system of this world's [R&D department]. When Android swept the world, it was gradually eliminated to the edge...

In fact, not only MTK, but even Symbian and Samsung were almost all wiped out.

no doubt!

Before having the R&D capability, Zhang Yang can only follow the trend of the times and adopt Android as the main path for the future.

but……

The Android system's [Open Handset Alliance] has just been formed...

It will take at least a year, or even longer, for Android to truly take over the world...

And this period of vacuum.

Just when Zhang Yang was thinking deeply...

There was a knock at the door.

Then Sophie walked in from outside.

When she walked in, she lowered her head and sat on the sofa next to her, silent...

"what happened?"

"I'm sorry, Zhang Yang, I'm sorry..."

Sophie lowered her head and kept apologizing to Zhang Yang over and over again.

"What's wrong? It's okay, don't cry. What happened?"

"I……"

When she heard Zhang Yang's words, she finally couldn't hold back her tears, and they rolled down like pearls from a broken string...

Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and although she tried hard to remain calm, her trembling voice revealed her guilt and discomfort.

Finally, she threw herself on Zhang Yang, murmuring in tears: "I'm sorry, sorry, sorry... I told my father that our sales are so good now, and you are so capable, we should join the [Open Handset Alliance] as a member of the mobile phone brand, but..."

"But no matter what I said, my father didn't agree. He said a lot of excessive things..."

"He said that we are not qualified yet. He said that even if we sell one million units, it is not enough. Our foundation is too shallow. He said that we do not have any ability..."

"I asked my father if he could lend us some technicians to assist us in the development, but he scolded me and said that he could not provide us with any help!"

"..."

"..."

Sophie's voice kept ringing in Zhang Yang's ears.

Zhang Yang patted Sophie's shoulder, feeling a little touched, but then shook his head: "In a sense, your father and I are competitors... The relationship between companies is not as simple as you think. Don't rely on our relationship to let your father open a back door. This is unrealistic. Any rational person will not let family affection affect work..."

"But, Zhang Yang, you told me before that our future is Android. Zhang Yang, I know very well that if we don't get on board this time, we will be slow at every step. We..."

Sophie lowered her head.

I feel more and more uncomfortable in my heart. These days.

Although everyone on the Internet is scolding Zhang Yang for being shameless and having no moral bottom line.

In a corner unknown to anyone, Zhang Yang has put in countless efforts for this career!
He works overtime almost every day, and has countless documents and tasks every day, from legal to management, from finance to accounts, from the next plan to future plans...

Plans, articles, and decisions...

Countless things weighed on Zhang Yang, and each one of them made his scalp tingle!

During this time...

Except for some special times, Zhang Yang sometimes only had a few hours of rest time...

……

She knew it.

How crazy Zhang Yang is for his career!
She just wanted to help Zhang Yang, at least, to save him from having to work so hard...

but……

She found that apart from being able to manage some finances, she was almost useless!

Even their own father was unwilling to help them in the slightest and was extremely cold and indifferent.

"It's okay, believe me, these are nothing to me."

Zhang Yang smiled and shook his head, stroking Sophie's hair gently.

..............................

Half an hour later, Zhang Yang coaxed Sophie out of the office.

Zhang Yang was thinking about every step he would take next.

The feeling of being controlled by others is very uncomfortable.

system!

system!

He needs his own R&D system!

However, R&D requires capital!
Lots of capital!
He is too weak...

but!

There’s still time, there’s still time now!
A moment later.

He narrowed his eyes!

Immediately afterwards...

He took out his cell phone and decisively dialed Guo Shanming's number.

"Mr. Guo, let's talk about cooperation. I'll take 300 million motherboards a month! But I have a request, that is, I need more people!"

"..."

"Either don't do it, or if you do it, do it the best you can!"

....................................

"You mean, this lawsuit has actually encouraged the arrogance of those pirated mobile phones, and has allowed them to grow wildly in China?"

"Although I don't want to admit it, it's true... We have given this Chinese man too much attention!"

“Is it wrong for us to defend our rights?”

"No, it's not that we are wrong. We have never been wrong. What's wrong is this era, this era of barbaric growth... and that group of hooligans who delve into the law..."

"..."

The morning of April 17th.

[Novia] China Mobile Headquarters.

Davis has been in a very irritable mood these two days.

I wait for news from the court almost every day.

But, the news from that side has been delayed!

You clearly know that the other party is plagiarizing or even borrowing from you, but you just can't do anything about it!

even……

Even if you can win, you will feel like someone is stepping on your head as you climb up!
Finally, he sighed.

"never mind!"

"Let's just leave it at that!"

"..."

Just when Davis tried not to think about it...

The office door opened again.

then……

He saw a message.

The news said...

Today, Zhang Yang officially reached a cooperation agreement with Taiwan's [R&D Department] and became the [MTK system] customer of [R&D Department] second only to [Shengxing Mobile Phone].

Other than that…

He saw Zhang Yang holding another press conference...

Before I could see the person clearly, I heard a resounding voice...

"from now on!"

"Friends who cooperate with me [Wheat Mall]!"

"We will provide mobile phone motherboards in a unified manner!"

"At the same time, the mobile phone motherboard that used to cost 200 yuan now only costs 150 yuan if you cooperate with us!"

"..."

"Other than that!"

"Thanks to the first batch of people who used our [Xiaomi 1] mobile phone and other [Xiaomi Mall] families. In order to give back to their families for their support..."

"The original price of this phone is 588 yuan, and we will reduce the price by another 100 yuan!"

"488, take it home directly!"

"To those of you who have already ordered our [Xiaomi Mall] mobile phones... don't panic..."

"We will send an extra subsidy red envelope of 100 yuan to your account!"

“This 100 yuan red envelope…”

“You can buy our instant noodles, clothes, snacks, and toys in our [Wheat Mall]!”

"Yes!"

"From now on! We [Xiaomi Mall] not only sell mobile phones, we will continue to add more products for families to choose from!"

"..."
