Our Rise Era

Chapter 177 Start to rise at this moment!
January.

For the Chinese mobile phone market.

This is the most exciting month in the history of copycat mobile phones.

"Cheap, easy to use, and fully functional"...

It is synonymous with Chinese copycat phones!

Mobile phone systems equipped with MTK are even crazier than they were in 08. They are conquering the market almost every day, as if they had become common in the streets and alleys of the country overnight.

And the entrepreneurial myth that emerged!

It happens almost every day!

These unknown “unknown brands”, or mobile phones that simply imitate the appearance and functions of famous brands, have been sold to the whole country from the big and small stalls in Huaqiangbei since the first half of 2009...

Behind a stall that is less than one square meter may be a brand and a processing factory. Even if there are only a few people in this "factory", it does not prevent them from creating a myth of earning millions or even tens of millions of yuan a year...

And for the [R&D Department], it was another fruitful month.

The R&D Department alone controls the low-end mobile phone market in China. Throughout June, it can be said that it has a complete control over the low-end mobile phones in China.

December 7th...

When the [R&D Department] announced the [MTK] system and motherboard supply chain in June, the entire low-end mobile phone industry in China was shocked.

Someone exclaimed!

I was surprised that the Chinese mobile phone market is so huge!
Last year, mobile phone shipments just exceeded 100 million, which was already shocking.

Looking at this year's situation, the shipment volume has already rushed towards the astonishing figure of 1.4 million.

Countless people even predict that the next few years will belong to the era of [R&D]...

The R&D department controls the industrial chain of low-end mobile phones. Once the low-end industrial chain is fully satisfied, it will inevitably impact international brands such as Novia and Samsung...

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

7 month 2 day.

“How were the sales of mobile phones equipped with [Microsoft system] last month?”

"Only a few thousand units were sold, and sales were dismal..."

"What about the other systems?"

"The total number in China does not exceed 100,000..."

"okay!"

"..."

Late at night.

【R&D Department】

Guo Shanming drank a little wine and stood on the highest observation deck of the [R&D Department], overlooking the brilliant lights below.

July 09.

When the communications sector announced that the 3G era had arrived...

Guo Shanming and everyone else felt somewhat uneasy deep down in their hearts.

The arrival of every era symbolizes a major reshuffle.

If you can't keep up with the times, you will eventually become the dust of history.

They even held a very serious meeting for this purpose.

Everyone is convinced that in the future, the mobile phone industry will be an era of "system" wars.

In the meeting room...

The core employees said a lot of things.

But opinions are not unanimous...

Someone stood up and said, if MTK wants to control the market, it must follow Android's example and go open source, and establish an alliance.

After all, the [Android system] on the other side of the ocean has established the [Open Mobile Alliance], which is already coming with great momentum...

At the same time, many overseas systems, including the Microsoft system, have entered China with their knives sharpened, seemingly trying to grab a piece of the pie in this system war...

Facing so many strong competitors, the best solution is to consolidate the market first...

Some elderly people stood up and refuted what these people said.

What they mean is simple!
Now [MTK] is calling the shots in the Chinese market, and according to a set of data, the demand for low-end mobile phone manufacturing is still very large. In addition, their [R&D Department] has made many targeted designs around the [MTK] system, and many core technologies are in their hands. It is impossible for more people to come and share a piece of the pie, and it is even more impossible to make wedding dresses for them.

It is naturally necessary to form an alliance...

That is to support some manufacturers like Zhang Yang and Xu Yunlong, but the prerequisite is that these manufacturers must be obedient and everything must go according to their wishes.

Guo Shanming finally chose the latter!
“It turns out that I’m on the right path!”

"As long as I want, I can create more myths..."

"..."

A gust of wind in the evening blew through the window and onto Guo Shanming's face.

Looking at the countless people below, Guo Shanming felt as if he was standing on the top of a mountain, overlooking all the other mountains.

During these six months...

Other systems have attempted to enter China.

But China's market has long been saturated.

Even the Microsoft system that worried them did not pose the threat they had imagined.

As for [Android system], there are very few.

Under his strong decision, Zhang Yang, Xu Yunlong and others who wanted to use the system to negotiate with them died on the spot and moved to Africa.

Even though the so-called "camera phone" had achieved sales of around 100 million in Africa, he was still a little shocked.

But in the end...

So what?
Aren’t they still using their [MTK] system?
This is an era of monopoly!

Just when Guo Shanming stood at the top, overlooking everything, and felt a bit of loneliness as a master.

The secretary received a call.

After answering the phone, her expression became serious: "Mr. Guo"

"what's up?"

"The first Android phone is about to be released, by [Shengxing Technology]..."

"Oh?"

"There is also a piece of news from Africa, I am not sure whether it is true or not..."

"what news?"

"Zhang Yang officially announced that he will no longer use our [MTK] system!"

"Oh?"

"I heard that Ding Ziqiang, who left us, modified our motherboard and officially installed other systems..."

"..."

When I heard all this news...

Guo Shanming's expression was very calm.

I just said, "I understand." It was like a gust of wind blowing across my cheek.

It was just a gust of wind blowing across my cheek.

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

January.

A heat wave swept across China.

As the initiator of the Open Alliance and the founder of the Android system, Qiao Tech came to China in person and attended the launch of Shengxing Technology's first Android-powered mobile phone, the SX-G1.

[Shengxing Technology] This mobile phone manufacturer that once ushered in the "Little God" era, released a new mobile phone, and naturally became the focus of countless people's attention.

It has been more than a year since [Shengxing Technology] ended its cooperation with [R&D Department].

Over the past year...

China's former mobile phone brand leader seems to be particularly low-key.

Apart from knowing that it abandoned the [R&D Department] and switched to the [Android] camp, there is almost no other news about it.

The latest news only shows that [Shengxing] is entering the semiconductor industry, but so far, there have been no results...

So many things can change in one year.

No one knows whether the former Chinese mobile phone overlord, in 2009, when the [MTK] system swept the country's low-end mobile phones, can still compete in an era when mobile phone giants such as [Novia] and [Samsung] are competing for mid-to-high-end mobile phones, leaving almost no space.

7 month 4 day.

【SX-G1】mobile phone was officially launched in China.

As the first generation of Android products, the appearance design is very simple.

There are six unique buttons on the front, including call, home, return, hang up, and the menu button in the center. In the middle, there is also a touch trackball similar to the BlackBerry phone. This trackball can be easily controlled left and right and clicked to confirm on the Android system...

of course……

In an era when Chinese knockoff phones are rampant and all kinds of crazy appearances...

This design is really inconspicuous.

It can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

however……

The 3.17-inch touch screen, unique trackball design, and powerful open source features have attracted countless people...

At the press conference...

Joe Tech personally demonstrates the application functions of this phone!
Open the app...

Seeing countless mobile phone software and game software on it...

"As long as you log in to your Google account, you can use the system!"

"You can download as many things as you want in this system..."

"At the same time, we invite more developers to join our R&D team to enrich our various functions!"

"..."

Joe Tech spoke a series of things with great passion.

And, he claimed that Joes' iPhone opened the era of smart phones with one click...

The Android system has ushered in the open source era of smartphones, redefining open source and research and development, and everyone can create their own system!

and……

In addition to the system...

Everyone can make their favorite software on the platform and provide it for download...

and!

Totally free!

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

Guo Shanming watched the press conference.

After watching this press conference...

Guo Shanming still didn't think there was anything special about this phone.

You can download various features...

Mobile phones with [MTK] system can also download various functions on the application interface.

The only difference is...

One is more people participating...

A, well, the download program of their [MTK] system is controlled by their [MTK] system...

It looks like open source, but it’s really fancy…

But in reality, that's it!

Moreover, the official price is about 1500 RMB...

In this era where price is king and some phones even sell for 400 yuan...

About 1500 RMB!

I really don't have the qualifications to compete!
however……

Its open source nature has indeed attracted countless mobile phone system developers in China overnight...

Many people even exclaimed at the first moment that the era of mobile phone revolution has arrived.

of course……

It is normal for the emergence of a new thing to generate some discussion.

Guo Shanming didn't care...

At most, it's like a gust of wind blowing on your face, or a stone thrown into the lake...

Although there are some ripples...

but……

That's it!
however……

In a corner that Guo Shanming didn't care about at all.

Zhang Yang, who was basking in the sun in Africa, received a call from a Chinese mini-game company.

"Mr. Zhang, we have made Angry Birds! We are almost done with other games too."

"..."

"From August 08, 8 to July now, it's been less than a year!"

“We did it!”

"..."

"Mr. Zhang, I saw that Android phones have been released. Have we modified our own mobile phone system to adapt to our game? In other words, have we communicated with those system manufacturers?"

"..."

(There is a foreshadowing in Chapter 128 of the game company)
