Our Rise Era

Chapter 194 The first ticket for a smartphone!
2009 years.

China has entered the 3G era.

The ambitious Android system invited China's local mobile phone giant [Shengxing] to join the [Open Mobile Alliance] and work together with [Samsung] to make a big splash.

At the beginning of the year, Chotech was conceited and extremely proud.

In his eyes.

Whether it is the [MTK] system, Novia's [Symbian system], or the [Microsoft system] that has dominated the world for decades, they are all weak and vulnerable.

He claims to be the future of Android. The only system that can truly compete with Android was the IOS system in 2007, which entered the era of smart phones under the influence of the iPhone.

however……

The IOS system is a closed ecosystem.

It has a good system and is perfectly designed, but its closed ecosystem is destined to not be able to accommodate too many users!
Their Android system is open source, and everyone participates and shares it. As more and more people join, it means that everyone can fully control everything from low-end phones to high-end phones.

but……

No one would have thought...

In this July.

The sudden appearance of [Wheat 2]!

It was like a loud slap in the face.

And the instigator...

But it was that Chinese person whom he once looked down upon!
..........................................

“The cost of [Wheat 2] is very high.”

"The assembly cost, procurement cost, and labor cost are 1200 yuan, plus taxes and a portion of after-sales costs, and I only make about 410 yuan for one machine."

"But their sales of 100 million can bring them nearly 4.1 million RMB in revenue..."

"..."

Soft music was heard in the cafe.

Qiao Taike was dressed formally. He took the information handed over by his assistant and looked at the series of data on it very carefully.

The system of [Xiaomi 2] is [Web OS] system.

Previously, he had sent people to analyze the [Web OS] system, but the analysis results from multiple parties were unexpectedly consistent.

It has some highlights, but not many. It is a standard system that does not pose any threat to the future of Android...

After seeing the results, Qiao Taike didn't pay any more attention to it.

but……

Who would have thought...

How could such a mediocre system, combined with that previously ordinary young Chinese man, produce such a qualitative leap?

but……

Qiao Taike's heart was always calm.

He did not think that he had done anything wrong. He insisted that everything he did was based on the Android system and the future of his company.

"dong dong dong"

There was a knock on the door.

The door opened quickly.

Then, Qiao Taike saw Zhang Yang walking into the scene with his daughter.

The moment he saw his daughter Sophie, Qiao Taik's eyes were a little complicated.

When the sales of "Wheat 2" exceeded 50, he called his daughter and invited Zhang Yang to come over for a chat.

The once innocent daughter was unusually silent. She didn't say much, nor did she reveal any future plans for [Xiaomi 2].

She only said one sentence...

Zhang Yang had been waiting for him, however, hoping that he could call him in person.

He heard a hint of strangeness in his daughter's tone.

Some emotions...

It seems like my daughter has grown up overnight...

A little annoyed.

The daughter he had raised since she was a child and to whom he had never told anything began to gradually become distant from him, and her coldness was so severe that he could not accept it.

But it is more complicated. I vaguely feel that everything that happens next will gradually get out of my control.

"Sophie, Mr. Zhang..."

"Mr. Chotech!"

"Father, I hope that after we sit down, you can call me Ms. Sophie. I am now the financial director of [Wheat Technology] and the drafter of the chat document you are about to have..."

"..."

Sophie was wearing a suit and had a smile on her face, but after sitting down, her expression gradually became serious. She meticulously took out a document from her arms and looked at Jotek silently.

Qiao Taike was slightly shocked, but nodded after a moment, staring at Zhang Yang, with a smile on his face and holding out his hand: "Mr. Zhang Yang, first of all, congratulations on your [Xiaomi 2] mobile phone, for making such a success..."

"Thank you!" After Zhang Yang and Qiao Taik shook hands, they both sat down.

"Mr. Zhang Yang, I asked you to come here today because I hope you can join our second batch of [Android Developer Alliance] and become one of the second batch of core members..." Qiao Taike didn't waste any words, and still had a smile on his face. When he sat opposite, he asked his secretary to seriously take out a document and handed it to Zhang Yang: "Before, we had discussed the demands you had raised, and decided to meet your demands. I hope you can continue to expand your territory and shine in the Chinese market..."

Zhang Yang smiled as he took the document and looked at it carefully.

The content of the file is not complicated.

It was in 08 when I wanted to join the Android Open Developer Alliance.

First, become a core member, participate in the development of the system, and become an agent with the qualifications of being on an equal footing with [Shengxing]...

Second, everyone in the Android Open Source Alliance can share the system's hardware and software, and use the Android system as the core to create their own brand of mobile phones...

……

If it was in 08.

Zhang Yang would sign this agreement without hesitation.

In 09, after [Xiaomi 2] and [Web OS] system won the first battle in China...

These seemingly lucrative agreements are no longer important at this moment.

After Zhang Yang finished reading, he showed no excitement on his face, and even did not stir up any waves. He just shook his head, stared at Qiao Taike and said lightly: "Mr. Qiao Taike, we are no longer the same as we were in 08!"

Qiao Taike's expression did not change when he heard this, but he nodded seriously: "We are not the same as we were in 08! From the chip field to the system, to the communication system and hardware, we have the world's top configuration... I just checked your total cost, it's over 1500 yuan, but if you join our alliance, with the same configuration, your cost can be reduced to 800! The profit per unit is far more than 1100... 410 and 1100, it's nearly tripled. Will you watch so much money being taken away by suppliers?"

After saying this.

Qiao Taike took a sip of coffee and looked at Zhang Yang calmly.

In fact, the moment he built the Android system, he had already simulated the entire system and future processes.

Over the past year or so...

From mobile companies, to semiconductor companies, to software suppliers, hardware suppliers...

The world's first-class brand system, their [Android Open Source Alliance] has invited one-fifth...

This one-fifth of the alliance!
Not only can it reduce the cost of more mobile phones, but it can also create a terrifying stranglehold, thereby flattening the entire market!
"Take a look at this data!"

He handed Zhang Yang a copy of the Android Open Source Alliance partner information.

He believed that Zhang Yang was a smart man, and smart people should make their own wise choices.

"What I want to do is to abandon the [Web OS] system and use your Android system. Is that what you mean?"

"【Wheat 2】 can maintain the 【Web OS】 system, but starting from 【Wheat 3】, I hope you can carefully consider the choice of system... After all, every member here needs to contribute to the promotion and popularization of Android..." Qiao Taik laughed.

A brief silence fell in the air.

"What if I refuse?" Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes.

“I believe that no fool would refuse, in the face of absolute strength and huge resources…” Qiao Taik laughed.

"..."

Zhang Yang suddenly fell silent when he heard this.

He looked silently at the Android Open Developer Alliance agreement.

"Mr. Zhang Yang, I don't mean to force anyone. I'm just stating a point of view. Our boss behind the scenes is Google. Google's huge resources can control countless things... In fact, two days after your Xiaomai 2 went on sale, we controlled all your channels... Samsung's partners even threatened to cut off all your supplies and strangle you. This time, you have had an inevitable impact on their brand!"

"..."

"I stepped in to negotiate and told them that you would be our future collaborator. This temporarily suppressed some issues!"

"..."

"I know some things are cruel, but this is reality. When you don't have absolute strength, you can only choose to bow your head..."

"..."

Qiao Taik's voice sounded faintly in Zhang Yang's ears.

Zhang Yang did not respond.

At this moment, Sophie grabbed Zhang Yang's hand and suddenly stood up: "Mr. Qiao Taike, if you come here today with this attitude, then we will not accept cooperation!"

The sudden voice startled Qiao Taik.

He looked at his daughter, whom he had taken good care of since she was a child. At this moment, she was staring at him angrily like a little animal protecting its calf. He felt a sense of loss in his heart, but his expression did not change at all: "I have never threatened anyone. I am just stating a fact... Moreover, from the perspective of a company, I hope that both of us will have a good future..."

"but you!"

"Sophie...it's okay."

When Zhang Yang saw Sophie's ugly expression, he smiled and patted the back of her smooth hand.

After a moment, he looked at Qiao Taike and said, "Mr. Qiao Taike, your proposal is very tempting, but I have a request..."

"What request do you make..."

"I have more than just the [Xiaomi 2] phone behind me. I also have the [Xiaomi Mall]. I hope that after our cooperation, all future [Android phones] will be sold in our [Xiaomi Mall]! In other words, I hope I can get the first-sale rights, that is, one day earlier than all other websites!"

"..."

"Also, I have a semiconductor research lab behind me, but we are currently in the stage of developing [monocrystalline silicon]. If we succeed in our research and development and the quality is up to standard, I hope I can become one of the suppliers of the system motherboard and enjoy all the rights!"

"..."

"Besides that, the game company behind me hopes to get more resources and support... Also, we can't disconnect from the [Web OS] system we're working on..."

"..."
