Chapter 1065

In 2007, due to the continued popularity of Letong, the annual net income of the lophone series reached 12.7 billion yuan. Although the single-machine profit of Lopad is much smaller than that of the lophone, the net income also reached an astonishing 6.8 billion yuan with the sales of more than 12 million units.

Now, Letong has become a well-deserved money tree within Lo International.

It is precisely because of such a crazy speed of accumulating gold that Ji Zhengzhen's motivation to give up the counterfeit machine business. Compared with the profits of Lopad and Lophone, the profits of counterfeit machines of over 100 million yuan that year were indeed not worth mentioning.

"How has the research and development work of the next generation of lophones been done?" After listening to Ji Zhengzhen's report on the relevant situation last year, Bai Ningyuan nodded, and was not very surprised, but just asked Ji Zhengzhen.

It is not difficult to understand. To be honest, Bai Ningyuan has made the greatest contribution to the success of lophone and lopad.

Whether it is the design concept or appearance, it is all done by Bai Ningyuan. Ji Zhengzhen is more of a performer of a specific operation, so the success of the lophone has long been in Bai Ningyuan's foresight.

"The three-stage shell has been entrusted to OEM companies for processing and production, but the engineering prototype is still under test. As for the moment, the coordination of some new hardware is still being synchronized. After all, Mr. Bai, you have high requirements. It is not so easy to achieve performance that is twice as fast as lophones." Ji Zhengzhen said seriously to Bai Ningyuan.

"You ask the engineers to solve this problem as soon as possible. My requirement is to complete all hardware designs before April, then conduct comprehensive testing, and produce the prototype by June at the latest." Bai Ningyuan said to Ji Zhengzhen, and there was no point in his words that could be questioned.

"I understand!" Ji Zhengzhen was already very familiar with Bai Ningyuan's temper, so he nodded to Bai Ningyuan without thinking.

This plan, which is listed as a top secret in Lotto, is a new generation of lophpne that Bai Ningyuan has secretly named lophpne2. Unlike the previous lophones and lophones, its appearance has undergone a new and comprehensive design. The back shell has eliminated the original double-sided glass sandwich structure, but adopts a full metal three-stage design, which lengthens the figure, making it look more noble and slender, and more consistent with people's hand shape.

"In addition, take advantage of this year's Olympics to officially advance this project of Kanzhuo League. It should make the smartphone craze even more turbulent." Bai Ningyuan thought for a while, and said to Ji Zhengzhen.

The Kozuo Alliance project is a global alliance organization established by Letong. It is composed of mobile phone manufacturers, software developers, telecom operators and chip manufacturers to jointly develop and improve the Kozuo system. By promoting this system, more mobile phone manufacturers will be attracted to join the smartphone camp.

This project was proposed to Bai Ningyuan a long time ago. After careful consideration, Bai Ningyuan decided to accept it. However, Letong had not had a wide influence on the global scale, so it was difficult to form a decisive role in this alliance. Therefore, although Bai Ningyuan agreed, he temporarily suppressed it. Until now, after two years of development, Letong has become an enterprise that has an important position in the global communications field, and promoting this project has also reached an operational stage.

Of course, the establishment of this alliance is not to disclose the source code of the Kanzhu system to the public, but to allow manufacturers joining the alliance to install the Kanzhu system for their products and make simple modifications based on the peripheral architecture. The core code is still controlled by Letong. In addition, all products that install this system still need to download various systems through the Kanzhu store.

Due to its closed nature, this system is indeed a bit harsh in terms of authorization conditions, but Bai Ningyuan is not worried that no one will join, because Lotong has used lophones and lopad to prove the excellence of this system. Among current smartphones, it is undoubtedly the most convenient to use. In this way, some manufacturers will definitely adopt it because they are unable to develop their own smart systems.

To take a step back, even if no one joins, for Letong, at most, it will be just maintaining the status quo and there will be no loss.

Ji Zhengzhen showed a look of overjoyment on his face. After waiting for so long, the plan could finally be implemented, so he quickly nodded to Bai Ningyuan and agreed.

Letong's work is now on track, and there is nothing that Bai Ningyuan needs to worry about, so he did not raise any objections to Ji Zhengzhen's other annual plans.

The next time was the reports of several auto websites of lo International Holdings, including Dayang Automobile, Automobile Home, Aika Automobile, etc. Bai Ningyuan was interested in their future for investing in these websites, so he did not pay much attention to it for the time being.

So far, with the booming rise of the domestic automobile industry, 4S stores have also been built around the country like mushrooms after a rain. Various places are planning parks such as automobile cities. In addition, the authority of these websites is also increasing, so the advertising value is gradually reflected.

At present, these websites can not only satisfy self-sufficiency through advertising fees and membership fees, but also have a slight surplus. Bai Ningyuan is also very satisfied with this.

Next is another highlight, Leku Entertainment.

The entire conference room suddenly became quiet, and everyone's attention was focused on Sun Ting, as if an invisible aura was emitted from her body.

Sun Ting, who always looks like a little fairy in front of Bai Ningyuan on weekdays, has a little more capable atmosphere after putting on glasses. She reports to Bai Ningyuan with a serious expression.

As the head of Leku Entertainment, her position in the entire Leku Entertainment is unrivalled, and she controls another money tree of Lo International and the public opinion tool Leku Weibo. This is difficult for the general managers of several other subsidiaries to achieve.

First of all, she reported on the relevant situation of Leku Video. Compared with the same period last year, Leku Video Network's video library has also become more colorful. In addition, a large number of film and television copyrights have been purchased, and it still maintains a leading position in the fierce competition.

This is also the basis that Bai Ningyuan requires, that is, no matter how money is spent, Leku Video Network must first ensure its advantages in resources.

There are currently melee between all parties in the video network industry. After several video websites have obtained overseas capital injections, they have almost tried their best to compete for users. In this regard, the main tone is to burn money.

Among them, the most ruthless person who catches up with Leku Video is Youku.

After completing the third round of financing last year, Youku is now rich and powerful. He keeps waving the money in his hands to buy the copyrights of a large number of popular film and television variety shows, trying to fight against Leku, seize customer resources, and even keep stealing Leku's video library behind his back.

On the other hand, although the earliest rival of Leku Video, Potato, has never fallen out of the First Group, and it also purchases a large number of copyrights to compete with other competitors with the number of videos.

These two companies are currently the main opponents of Leku. As for the others, although Kuliu made a spoof from the Internet celebrity Hu Ge two years ago, they were a little eager for quick success and introduced a large number of advertisements, which led to a very poor user experience and was unable to succeed. The gap between video library resources and first-line video websites was too big, and they gradually left the team. The other companies have also been trying to catch up, but they are not optimistic about the intensity of their money-burning efforts in terms of financial resources, and were eventually dumped out of the First Group.

Of course, due to the influence of so much capital pouring into the video website service industry, Leku Video also felt some huge pressure, among which the expenditure on copyright was nearly 20% higher than last year.

However, Leku still has advantages that other video websites cannot match. It has the highest popularity, the best user experience, and abundant funds. More importantly, with the support of Leku Film and Television, many film and television variety shows that can be called ace have exclusive broadcast copyrights, such as "Running Man", such as the recently popular "The King of Singers".

Faced with the unscrupulous pursuit of the opponent, Leku Video also has the means to counter the link theft of Youku and Potato, the Ministry of Justice has filed a lawsuit with the court. The amount involved in the case alone is already an astronomical figure. At the same time, using the alumni website and Weibo resources in hand to continuously release news and use public opinion guidance to crack down on Youku and Potato.

The competition between the three families has almost reached a state of fierceness.

In recent years, Leku Entertainment has never hesitated in terms of bandwidth expenditures, and infrastructure has always been placed in a state of great importance. Especially after moving to Lo International Building, the central data room that started to be invested in and built in Jinling last year has also started construction. After the bandwidth construction has stabilized, the expenditure on bandwidth has begun to decline. In addition, because Leku Entertainment's influence continues to increase, advertising revenue is becoming increasingly rich. In the whole 2007, although there was still a deficit of nearly 200 million yuan after excluding 1 billion yuan of advertising revenue, it has decreased by 70% compared with last year.

It seems a lot, but in this money-burning war, Leku Video's financial situation and loss degree are the best. More importantly, for Leku Entertainment, which is rich and powerful, they can afford to lose this little money...
