Our Rise Era

Chapter 205 Am I crazy enough to cooperate with you?

Chapter 205 Am I crazy enough to cooperate with you?
"This is a place that no one cares about..."

"Our impression of it is always that it is backward, arid, barbaric, and even chaotic..."

"It's like there's a whole world between us. It's really awe-inspiring!"

"cell phone……"

"Especially camera phones, smartphones..."

"It doesn't seem to belong to that area!"

"..."

"But he proved it with actual results. He made a turnover of over 10 billion in Africa!"

"But his path to success is unique..."

"One-third of Africa has unstable electricity supply. What can we do about the difficulty in charging? He built the [African Charging Station] and launched the [Lion 1] ultra-long standby mobile phone, which has a battery of more than 3 mAh and can last for a full week!"

"There are more than 40 operators in Africa, and the signal coverage areas are different. Users need to carry multiple SIM cards. What should they do?"

"He launched dual-SIM dual-standby, quad-SIM quad-standby, and even 5-SIM quad-standby. When you take apart this phone, all you see are SIM cards!"

"African users have darker skin, and ordinary mobile phones don't take good pictures, especially at night. What should we do? The [Lion 1] camera phone has beauty technology for people with dark skin. Through intelligent imaging and beauty functions, it ensures that selfies are natural and beautiful. This function is not only used for [Lion 1], but also for our [Lion 2] mobile phone, which is almost exploding in China..."

"..."

2010 2 Month 10 Day.

【R&D Department】

Guo Shanming silently watched the CCTV Documentary Channel, which played a documentary titled "Starting from Wild Africa!"

After watching the documentary...

Guo Shanming suddenly stood up from his chair, his expression was both shocked and excited!
In the documentary, African brothers use various types of mobile phones.

Big speakers, long standby time, lighter phones, fan-shaped phones...

The "copycat mobile phones" that were once eliminated in China have been sold to Africa after a series of modifications...

From that fleeting picture, Guo Shanming saw that the systems installed on these mobile phones were neither [Android] systems nor [Web OS] systems.

But...

Their [MTK] system!
This is a system that has been eliminated from copycat phones!
When I think of this!
He suddenly realized one thing. If the African industry could continue to use their [MTK] system, then the goods in his inventory...

Even! Is there any hope for the MTK system to rise again?

In other words, is it not too late to secretly build the MTK Opener Alliance like the Android system?
Now [Android system] is laying out in the field, if you...

When this thought came up...

It will be difficult to get rid of it from my mind.

He took out his cell phone, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't resist the temptation of the future and called Zhang Yang.

Judging from the past...

Zhang Yang is a profit-seeking businessman.

The only thing between people is interests!
He firmly believes it!
As long as he can see enough benefits, Zhang Yang will put aside the past grudges and cooperate with him again!
By then, one will have the market, the other will have the system and technology, as well as chip design capabilities. By then, even if they cannot withstand the attack of the Android system and retreat to Africa, they can still be regarded as the anti-kings!
But unfortunately, he called the mobile phone several times but couldn't get through.

He changed the number and dialed.

No one answered the call!
Eventually, he stopped calling and suddenly stared at the Android Open Developer Alliance meeting day.

Tomorrow is the official meeting day for the second batch of members to join the Android Open Source Alliance.

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

The Chinese headquarters of the Android Open Source Alliance is located in the Hsinchu High-Tech Zone in Taiwan.

There are many industries in the Hsinchu High-Tech Zone, including Taichi Electronics, R&D Department, and Qualcomm's office.

2 month 11 day.

Eight in the morning.

Countless reporters surrounded the entrance of Hsinchu High-Tech Park, excitedly watching the cars entering.

Countless mobile phone manufacturers from mainland China, Hong Kong Island, and even overseas came here after hearing the news. Even iPhone Technology business personnel crowded into the technology area.

This is a meeting of the second batch of cooperative members of the Android Open Source Alliance, but everyone knows that this is also a meeting that will lay the foundation for the future of China's mobile phone landscape!
The conference room is located in the Dongcan area on the third floor of the tallest building [Dingsheng Building].

At around 8:15, members of the Android Open Source Alliance had already arrived one after another.

Guo Shanming from the R&D Department was the first to arrive at the scene...

Looking at the representatives of the world's leading companies present, he smiled and shook hands with everyone one after another, but his eyes glanced at the door.

【Xiaomi Mobile】Representative...

Zhang Yang, however, has not arrived yet.

Not only did Zhang Yang from [Xiaomi Mobile] not arrive, but Ge Guoxing from [Shengxing] Mobile also seemed to be late.

[Shengxing] and [Xiaomi], two terminal mobile phone brands in China, have their seats next to each other.

And their [R&D Department] is right next to [Taiwan Electric]...

Wait until about 8:25, the first five minutes before the meeting starts!
Only then did Zhang Yang and Ge Guoxing arrive late, smiling.

Ge Guoxing is a veteran member and is familiar with everyone here. With a smile on his face, he shook hands and nodded to everyone one by one.

"Old Ge!"

When Guo Shanming shook hands with Ge Guoxing, he called him "Old Ge".

Ge Guoxing's smile remained unchanged: "Mr. Guo, you seem to have worked a lot in the past two years!"

"That's fine, that's fine. How about we go out for a drink after the meeting?"

"I quit. Sorry."

"..."

During the brief chat, Guo Shanming noticed that there was a hint of distance on Ge Guoxing's smiling face.

The handshake with me was also very brief. After that, he sat down in his seat and never looked at me again, just like a stranger.

Guo Shanming felt unhappy for a while.

However, this uncomfortable feeling did not last long, and I felt the atmosphere around me suddenly turned cold.

He turned his head subconsciously.

Zhang Yang was seen smiling and shaking hands with Samsung representative Kim Jin-myeong.

Jin Zhenming seemed not to see it and was just flipping through the list of partners of the Android Open Alliance.

"Hello, Mr. Jin, I'm Zhang Yang! The person in charge of [Xiaomi Mobile]!"

Zhang Yang's smile remained unchanged, as if he was not affected at all. His hands were still suspended in the air, and he spoke fluent English.

After saying that...

The air seemed to be frozen.

Then, everyone looked at Jin Zhenming.

But he saw Jin Zhenming finally raised his head and glanced at him: "Oh, hello!"

There was no smile on his face, and he had no manners at all. He didn't even stand up, and had no intention of shaking hands with Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang's hand hung in the air, and finally fell down slightly.

Then, he walked to the other side and shook hands with the other Qualcomm...

[Qualcomm] The person in charge, Smithson, simply looked up at Zhang Yang and nodded. He didn't smile or stand up. He just stretched out his hand and looked at Zhang Yang.

His meaning is very clear!

Just let Zhang Yang squat down and shake hands with him.

Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes, and under everyone's gaze, he did not squat down. Instead, he simply grabbed Smithson's hand and shook it, then walked to the next person after a moment...

……

The meeting room was silent for a while.

Zhang Yang smiled and shook hands with everyone briefly. Some people sat down and did not smile at all, just like Smithson.

Some of the partners of Chinese local enterprises stood up, but there was no smile on their faces, and they did not give Zhang Yang any face at all...

Some telecom operators are very polite...

But after they were polite, Zhang Yang continued to be treated coldly and without any courtesy.

……

As a newly emerged partner, Zhang Yang, even though he has Qiao Taik's protection, none of these high-ranking partners thinks that Zhang Yang is worthy of sitting at the same table with them.

perhaps……

In their eyes, Zhang Yang is just the food on the table, not the person holding the knife and fork on the table.

"Mr. Guo!"

"boss Zhang!"

When shaking hands with Guo Shanming, Guo Shanming subconsciously stood up, with a bright smile on his face, and tried his best to be enthusiastic towards Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang also smiled politely and sat in his seat.

But this location is next to a corner.

"Xiao Zhang, don't take it to heart. These people have always been arrogant. In 07, when I first met them, I was also placed in a corner..."

After Ge Guoxing saw Zhang Yang sit down, he hesitated for a moment, and before the meeting started, he chatted with Zhang Yang.

The smile on Zhang Yang's face remained unchanged, as if there was no emotional fluctuation at all.

But I keep everyone in my heart.

After taking a quick look, Zhang Yang checked the time.

Then, suddenly, in front of everyone's shock, he stood up and walked towards the door.

"Xiao Zhang, you..."

When Ge Guoxing saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly chased after him.

"Uncle Ge...I'm going to the bathroom..."

"It's okay to go to the bathroom, but don't be impulsive. This meeting is likely to change the future of China's mobile phone industry... Next up is the launch of [Android 2.0]..."

Looking at Zhang Yang's expression, Ge Guoxing stared at Zhang Yang with a serious expression and whispered.

When Zhang Yang heard this, he shook his head and smiled brightly: "I know, I just went to the toilet..."

"Okay! Then you go ..."

"..."

Zhang Yang left the meeting room under Ge Guoxing's gaze.

Eight-thirty.

When the second meeting of the Android Open Source Alliance began...

Zhang Yang's seat was always empty.

Qiao Taike frowned and looked at that position...

But he didn't say anything, instead he continued to announce the [Android 2.0] press conference and the conveniences that [Android system] will bring to people...

……

until the end of the meeting.

Zhang Yang had never been to this meeting.

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

After the meeting.

Guo Shanming called Zhang Yang.

Unexpectedly, the call went through this time.

"Mr. Guo..."

"Mr. Zhang, shall we chat?"

"What to talk about?"

"I saw what happened today. I sympathize with your experience in the Android Developer Alliance... These people are blind..."

"Mr. Guo, just tell me what you want to do. Don't be so vague..."

"Your African mobile phones should continue to use our MTK system. Then..."

"Mr. Guo, can you explain it in detail? I don't understand!"

"Mr. Zhang, let's talk about some things face to face..."

"Just tell me!"

"Okay, let me be frank. I regret what I did to you in the past, but I know you are a businessman, and businessmen are mainly profit-driven. Our [MTK] system can also be made into an open source system like Android. We can find partners and substitutes ourselves. As for the chips, Qualcomm can design them, and we [R&D Department] can also design them... It's mainly a manufacturing problem. You don't have to worry about the manufacturing aspect. After all, Africa doesn't need a very advanced chip system. We can take our time... Don't worry about the penalty for breach of contract. I'll help you pay it!"

"..."

There was suddenly no response from the other end of the phone.

After Guo Shanming called out a few words.

Zhang Yang finally said calmly: "Mr. Guo."

"you say……"

"We can cooperate, but Mr. Guo, how about you give me 60% of the shares of the R&D department? How about you work for me?"

"Are you kidding?" Guo Shanming's eyes widened when he heard this.

"Mr. Guo, you were joking first. Do you think I'm crazy? I'm making a lot of money, but I don't want to use the Android system. I'm using your MTK open source to help you make money?"

"you……"

"Mr. Guo, the era of MTK is over... If you really want to develop a system and really want to cooperate with me, you should publicly announce your withdrawal from the Android Open Developer Alliance and develop your MTK system... Otherwise, Mr. Guo, do you want me to be your spokesperson? I will breach the contract and help you promote the MTK system in Africa? You will focus on both Android and MTK, and throw me out to take the blame if something goes wrong?"

"..."

"Mr. Guo, I hope you can understand that you are a person at the table, and I am also a person at the table!"

After Zhang Yang said this, he hung up the phone.

Guo Shanming's face turned pale!
quit?
It is naturally impossible for him to withdraw from the Android Open Source Alliance.

The original intention of seeking cooperation with Zhang Yang was actually nothing more than having his cake and eating it too. He wanted to have it all, that's all!

But it was exposed by Zhang Yang like this!
He didn't feel very good in his heart!
................................................

4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhang Yang and Ge Guoxing of Shengxing got off the plane very low-key, got in a private car, and went straight to the Shengxing Building.

5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhang Yang followed Ge Guoxing into the Shengxing Building.

After entering the building and arriving at Ge Guoxing's office, Ge Guoxing's face had a very serious expression.

"Mr. Zhang, you should be present at this meeting... This is the most important part of announcing [Android 2.0]..."

"Uncle Ge, I'll tell you the truth, I'm only staying at the Android Developer Alliance temporarily..."

"Mr. Zhang, what do you want to do?"

"Boss Ge, don't you understand what I want to do?"

"..."

Under Ge Guoxing's gaze, Zhang Yang took out an agreement and handed it to him.
