Chapter 226 Zhang Yang, I want to have a baby with you

Chapter 226 Zhang Yang, I want to have a baby with you
The Chinese mobile phone industry in February can be described as thrillingly dynamic.

On February 2, iPhone 13S landed in the Chinese market...

On February 2, after a day of rushing to buy the iPhone 14S, the shipment volume reached an astonishing 4 units, and the number of pre-orders in China alone exceeded 10 units...

On February 2, in just two days, the pre-order sales of [iPhone 16S] exceeded 4 units...

On February 2, the pre-order volume for iPhone 20S exceeded 4 million units. Factories in many parts of Europe and the United States were in full swing, and production lines did not stop for 150 hours.

……

February 2th, the last day of February!
When the Chinese pre-order figures of 450 million units appeared in public media, the entire Chinese mobile phone industry was shocked!
Even the Apple 4S created an unprecedented phenomenon, with thousands of people rushing out to buy the iPhone. All major stores in Yanjing had queues from morning on and the lines lasted until noon.

If you go to any of the major social media platforms, whether it’s the mobile phone or fashion circles, you can see all kinds of users touting the 4S…

Various compliments such as "work of art", "pioneer in technology", "real smart phone", "smartphone of the future" and so on are simply endless.

……

And when iPhone 4S was in full swing.

Android phones, however, have faced the most severe test.

Although low-end mobile phones are selling well...

But in the same period of February, the sales of the newly released [Samsung I2] mobile phone were very bleak...

In just one month, only 20 units were sold.

It seems that overnight, Samsung has lost its voice in the field of high-end mobile phones!

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

"This is a new feature of iPhone 4S. It's called Siri voice system..."

3 month 1 day.

China [Android Open Source Alliance] headquarters.

When seeing that the pre-order volume for iPhone 4S was approaching 500 million, Jotek could no longer sit still.

He asked someone to buy an iPhone 4S, and in front of everyone, he turned on the voice system of the phone.

"In fact, we already knew about this system, but we still underestimated the voice system..."

Chotaek’s expression was serious.

His gaze turned to Kim Jin-myeong, the head of Samsung mobile phones, not far away.

Jin Zhenming was staring at the sales of the new model [I790] at this moment, and his face looked very ugly...

Starting from 2010, in order to maintain market order, Samsung strongly requested the Android Open Developer Alliance to postpone and terminate the release of Xiaomi 3.

Without the market for [Wheat 3], the Samsung [I2999], which was reduced to 780, sold nearly 400 million units last year with good configuration and price, completely replacing the sales of the [Wheat] series...

Although the sales volume was 400 million, Samsung executives were not very pleased with Kim Jin-myung.

after all……

The profit has been reduced to almost half!

The turnover did not increase much compared to before. On the contrary, some people inside felt that if Samsung continued to sell at this rate, it would not be able to impact the high-end market and could only become the owner of the mid- and low-end markets.

This is something that the top management of Samsung Mobile and the capital behind it cannot accept in any way.

Therefore, they carefully prepared the Samsung I790 mobile phone, which was similar in configuration to the iPhone 4S and sold for 4500 yuan, a price slightly lower than the iPhone 4S, in an attempt to compete with it. They were ready to regain their position in the high-end mobile phone field after this battle and redefine the era of smart phones.

however……

Maybe it’s because the design of the I790 is not innovative enough, or maybe it’s because the [Intelligent Voice] system of the iPhone 4S is more amazing than everyone imagined, or maybe it’s because the price is too high…

[Samsung I790] suffered its second disastrous defeat after being beaten by [Wheat 2]...

"The sales volume of this phone is likely to exceed 2000 million units in China...creating history for the entire mobile phone industry!"

Qiao Taike looked at Jin Zhenming and said this very seriously.

Jin Zhenming did not respond.

His emotions were very complicated, with an indescribable sense of bitterness.

At this moment, advertisements for iPhone 4S are everywhere.

Their [Samsung I750] is already on the edge of the cliff.

Competing with the iPhone 4S was like a slap in the face...

“This is more than just a war between mobile phones!”

"This is more of a battle between our Android system and IOS system!"

"If we lose!"

“The consequences are very serious!”

"..."

Qiao Taike took a deep breath and looked at several mobile phone brands in the conference room silently.

When he saw an empty seat, Qiao Taik frowned and asked, "Mr. Zhang from Xiaomai Mobile, why didn't you come this time?"

"..."

No one responded to him.

He looked at Sophie.

Sophie had a complicated expression.

Zhang Yang has been very busy in the past two years.

He was totally devoted to the photovoltaic field and was very secretive. The few phone calls we made were always in a hurry. It was rare for us to meet each other. Before long, Zhang Yang would answer the phone again and then disappear immediately.

Sophie was resentful, and sometimes she was so angry that she wanted to quarrel, but in the end she comforted herself that Zhang Yang was very busy recently...

Even Sophie is busy with many affairs of [Xiaomi Technology] and [Android Open Source Alliance].

"I have no idea……"

Sophie shook her head.

After seeing his daughter's expression, Qiao Taike took a deep breath and asked, "Is he still angry about the two-year delay of [Wheat 3]?"

Sophie didn't say anything. In the past two years, Zhang Yang had come to the Android Developer Alliance several times, but he had little presence, and during the voting, almost everyone used threats and inducements to hope that the release of Wheat 3 would be delayed, so Zhang Yang never came again.

"This is the layout of our entire alliance. Its [Wheat 2] system has caused irreparable brand damage to other mobile phones in the alliance... The market will no longer allow high-configuration mobile phones to be sold for 1999, do you know that?" Qiao Taik looked at his daughter's silence, he shook his head, his expression a little indifferent.

"Do we need him now?" When Sophie heard this, she looked at a document in Qiaotek's hand.

This is a list of expectations for new mobile phones in 2012.

High-end mobile phones, formerly [Novia] and [Samsung Mobile Phone], have dropped out of the top three on the list, with iPhone 4S taking first place.

Among mid-range and low-end mobile phones, [Samsung mobile phones] are slightly ahead, occupying the second place...

And [Shengxing Mobile Phone], which was originally thought to occupy the top three positions, did not even make it to the top three...

Low-end mobile phone brands...

It turned out to be [Wheat 3] which has not been released for two years!
And it is nearly half more than the second place [Three Stars]!
“We don’t need anyone…” Qiao Taike’s expression did not change, but he shook his head: “It’s just that we will give any brand in our alliance a chance… If [Xiaomi 3] can prove that it has absolute say in low-end and mid-range mobile phones, then we will consider internal weighting…”

When I heard this sentence...

Sophie was silent for a long time.

"I will talk to Zhang Yang, but Zhang Yang will not let anyone decide his will..."

Chotech nodded.

Let's adjourn for a while...

Jotek called Sophie into his office.

His expression was very serious: "Sophie, what's the current situation of Zhang Yang's [Xiaomi 3] phone? I heard that Zhang Yang is making the system himself?"

"I don't know..." Sophie shook her head when facing her father's gaze.

"You are in charge of Zhang Yang's finances, so you should know something, Sophie. I hope you know that you also have shares in Android..." Qiao Taike's voice was slightly gentle, but his eyes gradually deepened: "You are my daughter. From now on, no matter what happens, I will stand by you..."

"Father, although I am in charge of finance, I have signed a confidentiality agreement. I cannot reveal anything about [Wheat Technology] to you..."

"Zhang Yang is a person who is unwilling to be under anyone... You are getting a salary now, but you haven't asked for any shares. Have you ever thought about what would happen if one day he doesn't need you anymore?" Qiao Taike stared at Sophie: "In the past two years, you have been working hard for him, but has he given you anything else besides salary?"

Sophie lowered her head but remained silent.

"This is not love, this is exploitation, this is stupid, even more stupid. Two years ago, I thought you were training in Zhang Yang's company. Two years later, you should be sober now..."

"This is my own business." Sophie raised her head and shook her head: "Everyone has his or her own path..."

"What if, one day, Zhang Yang becomes a threat to me?"

"..."

When Sophie heard this, she suddenly fell silent.

But after a long while, Sophie looked up and said, "Father, it's not all about so-called feelings, it's an investment..."

"invest?"

"[Android] is your future, but no one knows what the future will be like... I don't care about Zhang Yang's company. I care about Zhang Yang as a person. This person can create miracles... You once told me that you can't put all your eggs in one basket..."

"You haven't gained anything until now, so what's the point of investing? He wants you to leave with just one word!"

"Father, I told you that everyone has his or her own path to choose... It seems that I get nothing, but as long as I want, I can get it anytime... I won't disclose any company secrets, father..." Sophie took a deep breath.

Then, in Chotech's eyes.

Sophie lowered her head and quickly left the office.

Just as the door was closing...

"As long as I have a child, do I have everything? He doesn't believe me, but he will believe his own child, right?"

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

night.

Deep.

There was a knock on the office door.

Immediately afterwards...

Zhang Yang raised his head...

"Zhang Yang!"

"Sophie..."

"Zhang Yang, are you busy now?"

"Not busy..." Zhang Yang was a little dazed when he saw Sophie's blushing face.

"I met my father today, and he asked me about your situation. However, I did not tell him any secrets of our company. I know that you are wary of everyone and don't want to trust anyone..." Sophie took a deep breath and suddenly burst into tears: "I understand, I know, but I seem to be everything and nothing at the same time..."

"Don't cry, don't cry... I know you've worked hard in the past two years..."

"I want something that stands out..."

"what?"

"I want children..."

"what!"

"I want a child, I don't want to be without anything..."

"No, no, no, this isn't appropriate. How about we go somewhere else?"

"I locked the door."

"Hey wait! This is not good... Don't take it off, this... Oh, this is not good, can you wait a little longer?"

"..."

Always calm and flamboyant...

When faced with the beautiful, tall, blonde girl, he panicked for the first time.
