Chapter 526 The mastermind behind the scenes? It’s better to kill the wrong person than let him go!(1/3)
"The Unbounded Mobile Phone has been released, and the ones that will be hardest hit are the four major feature phone giants of China Cool Alliance." Song Sining said thoughtfully:
"In the past, operators had to cooperate with these four companies for customized phones and contract phones. They were known for being low-end, with poor performance and low prices. They basically gave away the phone with a charge of phone charges."
"However, thanks to operator subsidies and high sales, the four giants have also made a lot of money. Now that the Unbounded mobile phone has come out, their feature phones have become popular. Is it possible that they are retaliating against us for this?"
Wang Yi was noncommittal: "Then, if so, which company do you think would do it?"
Song Sining thought for a while: "Huawei shouldn't be involved. They are probably already preparing to make a thousand-yuan smartphone, and they don't have time to do this."
"For ZTE, it's not like the prefix "中". For their senior leaders, the future is more important than corporate profits, and they will cherish their feathers."
"It's hard to say about the remaining Coolpad and Lenovo. However, Lenovo now wants to grow bigger. It is currently contacting Motorola and preparing to acquire Motorola's mobile business. The two parties have been talking for a long time. Once the agreement is reached, Lenovo will use Motorola to With our patents and technologies, we can go one step further and directly achieve internationalization!”
"In this case, Lenovo itself wants to abandon feature phones and go all-out for high-end products, so it's even harder to do so."
Wang Yi applauded: "The analysis is very good. It seems that you have done a lot of homework. You even learned about Lenovo's contact with Motorola."
As Song Sining said, Lenovo's current rhythm is similar to that of its previous life. It is contacting Motorola and preparing to acquire Motorola's mobile business.
Especially looking at the rapid growth of Xingyi mobile phone, Lenovo is even more unable to calm down.
If we wait until Xingyi Mobile becomes internationalized, Lenovo's chances of winning will be slim. Even if it acquires Motorola, it will be a drop in the bucket.
So Lenovo accelerated the process of acquiring Motorola, hoping to get ahead of the internationalization of Xingyi Mobile Phone, and use Motorola's heritage and patents to quickly achieve internationalization and become bigger!
In this case, there is no reason to take action.
Wang Yi smiled faintly: "Lenovo's ambitions are as high as the sky right now. After acquiring Motorola, they only want to go high-end and become a giant like Apple. They don't look down on low-end mobile phones."
The association from the past life was also very high-spirited.
In 2014, Huawei launched the Honor series to compete closely with Redmi, and ZTE also launched a thousand-yuan phone.
But Lenovo was unmoved. Instead of making a thousand-yuan phone, it acquired motorcycles and focused on high-end products.
To put it bluntly, Lenovo has taken a completely different path from other brands.
Other brands are exploring thousand-yuan phones to rush into the sinking market, while Lenovo is acquiring motorcycles and aiming to go high-end.
As a result, what Lenovo did not expect was that the mobile phone industry was changing with each passing day and technology was iterating too fast.
Motorola, a former super giant, has also failed to keep up with the times.
After acquiring Motorola, Lenovo did not achieve high-end products, but its sales volume became very ugly.
In desperation, Lenovo started to turn around in 2015 and make thousand-yuan phones.
It's a pity that at that time, there were too many brands of thousand-yuan phones, and Lenovo's Lemon series only received a lot of attention.
Within a few years, Lenovo, which dominated the PC industry, failed in the mobile phone industry.
Not to mention making money, even the money spent on acquiring Motorola was not recovered.
In the end, both Lenovo mobile phone and Motorola brands fell into the dust of history.
There is no way, sometimes if you take the wrong path, you will lose everything.
If Lenovo had made a thousand-yuan phone in 2014 and built up its user base, and Motorola had made a high-end product, it wouldn't have been so brittle.
"The three giants of China Cool Alliance have been excluded, could it be Cool Party?" Song Sining frowned slightly:
"But it's not like that. Coolpad has also purchased a large amount of our C1 fast charging chip, P1 power management chip, and Kunpeng 700 and Kunpeng 702 processors. They have also sold a lot. They are our big customers."
"If they really do something against us, aren't they afraid that we will choke them and cut off their confession?"
"This is unreasonable, completely unreasonable."
Song Sining couldn't even figure it out.
Just like Xiaomi in the early days of his previous life, for the Samsung A screen, Rebus had to fly to the stick, apologize, and blow the bottle!
How could it be possible to do something secretly for Samsung, to set things up for Samsung, and to mess with Samsung?
Don’t want to mess around anymore?
Wang Yi nodded: "You are right, but you are not cool either."
"Who is that? The Chinese Cool Alliance has been excluded!" Song Sining was confused.
Wang Yi smiled faintly: "Who said our Unbounded Mobile Phone is just a feature phone?"
"Yes, there are also copycat phones! The copycat phones are the first ones to be killed by us!" Song Sining suddenly realized.
Wang Yi explained: "As soon as the Unbounded mobile phone came out, it was difficult to sell the feature phones of the four major brands of China Cool Alliance, but it was okay. They could still make smart phones, and they could make smart phones worth a thousand yuan, and they could still survive. At most, they were just
The labor pain will not cause us harm."
"After all, the four major brands have cooperated with us, and they are even our major customers. Except for Huawei, they all use our processors."
"But the copycat phone is different. It was really killed by the unbounded phone. It died so badly that it didn't even have a chance to stand up."
"It's unrealistic to expect a group of brands that are making copycat phones to make smart phones."
"So they jumped over the wall in a hurry!" Song Sining suddenly realized: "It's just that it's difficult to investigate. The scale of the copycat giants is not particularly large, but there are a lot of them. It's not like they will take action all of them. If we want to retaliate, it will be difficult to deal with them."
Song Sining was depressed. She didn't fight back after being fucked. That was not the style of Xingyi Technology.
But the problem is, now we have analyzed who did it, but we can’t find the specific one!
This is not easy to deal with!
"Unless they jump out on their own, continue to cause trouble, and show their flaws. But I guess this is unlikely. As for the missing rider, the police are already investigating, and it is difficult to directly find out who is behind it."
Song Sining frowned: "This kind of thing is done very covertly. We are attacking Xingyi Technology again. The other party is also afraid of our retaliation, so they will only do it in a flawless manner. After checking again and again, there is a high probability that we will find out that it is a middleman.
.This is even more difficult to deal with!”
Wang Yi smiled: "You are right, it is indeed difficult to find out who it is. But there are some things that do not need to be investigated, and there is no need to find out which one it is, just kill them all!"
"Who cares who he is? Just use the fastest speed and the highest efficiency to fully roll out Unbounded mobile phones and kill all copycat phones!"
"I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go!"
Song Sining was startled, and then she said with joy: "This is indeed the best way and the most direct way!"
Wang Yi said calmly: "A functional phone is more or less a serious mobile phone. It is a transition before the popularity of smartphones. But what is a copycat phone?"
"Many of them are three-no products. If you are lucky and have a good conscience, they can still be used for a long time. If you are not lucky, it is hard to say if something goes wrong. As for after-sales service? There is no after-sales service for knock-off machines. I am afraid that the manufacturers cannot find them. And the price is also low.
Not cheap!”
In fact, copycat phones have not been officially tested, and many of them are not standard and may cause problems.
It's just a pity that the mobile Internet just sprouted a few years ago, and not everyone has a PC.
This means that even if something goes wrong, not much is known about it.
More importantly, most people buy copycat phones and admit it if something goes wrong.
No after-sales service.
If it's sold cheaply, just two or three hundred, that's it.
But the problem is that the current copycat phones cost 1,800 yuan.
The copycat phone Wang Yi bought in high school, whose name I don’t even remember, cost eight or nine hundred, and it didn’t support wifi!
Maybe the boss' purchase price was only 400, but the selling price was 900, so the bargain price was still 850.
A real huge profit.
But there is no way, other mobile phones are more expensive.
Nokia keyboards cost more than 1,500, or even more than 2,000.
You can only buy second-hand old models or even refurbished ones for 700 to 800 yuan.
High-priced but low-spec products, copycat phones should have been put to an end long ago.
Wang Yi originally planned to open up the supply of Unbounded mobile phones and promote them step by step.
If we sell 100 million units a year, it will take about two or three years to completely put an end to copycat phones and feature phones.
Counterfeit manufacturers still have two or three years to bounce back, as a buffer.
But now it seems that it is completely unnecessary.
When one or a few copycat brands work under the influence to develop unbounded mobile phones, they are destined to die early and be born early.
The end time has also changed from three years to one year!
Thinking of this, Wang Yi looked at Song Sining.
Song Sining's eyebrows were filled with joy, knowing that this was a big deal coming, she quickly asked: "Chairman, tell me!"
"First, inform BYD that the order volume for the 1st generation of Unbounded mobile phones this year has increased from 70 million to 100 million!"
Song Sining was startled.
It's already June, and there are less than seven months left in the year.
The original plan was that in more than six months, the first generation of Unbounded could sell 70 million units, which is considered impressive.
If we sell another 30 million units in the first half of next year and 100 million units a year, it will be considered a success.
