Chapter 1485 Encouragement

April 18th.

WeChat registered users reached 1.4 million.

After 18 days of going online, without large-scale promotion, the number of registered users reached 1.4 million, which is definitely a remarkable achievement.

And Teng Xun's Weichat has been online for three days, and has accumulated about 100,000 users in three days, which is not too bad.

Similarly, another piece of data shows that on the 18th, domestic sales of smart phones officially reached 30 million!

Smartphone users cannot fully represent 3G users, and the number of smartphone users using 2G networks will not be small.

However, whether you are a 2G or 3G user, using a smart phone means that you can use WeChat.

With a potential user base of 30 million, WeChat, a product that has not undergone large-scale promotion, can gain about 1.4 million users, which is already considered good.

This was higher than what Li Dong and the others expected.

Of course, it is also related to the current domestic situation. The concept of mobile Internet has been frequently mentioned.

Including government agencies, several major operators, and some Internet giants, they are all talking about mobile Internet on some formal or private occasions.

Everyone is talking, and the masses naturally become interested.

The price of smartphones has also been reduced by varying degrees due to the policy of sending home appliances to the countryside and subsidies from several major operators.

Promoted by a series of policies, the development speed of 3G network is getting faster and faster.

why so fast

No hurry!

3G has just been promoted in China, and 4G is about to appear!

Now several major domestic operators want to die.

Since 2009, some foreign telecom operators have begun to lay 4G network channels and started large-scale field trials.

On China's side, the three major operators, especially China Mobile, have invested hundreds of billions of dollars in a new independent 3G system.

The results have not had time to enjoy the results,

Seeing that foreign countries are preparing to launch 4G networks, can you not be in a hurry?

So during this period of time, several major operators are also contributing money and efforts, hoping to rapidly expand the scale of 3G users.

For some customized phones, several major operators not only launched some more favorable data packages after No. 1, but even increased subsidies, which made the price of smartphones drop a lot again.

So on the 18th, the sales of smartphones in China officially reached 30 million units, which is also a little faster than Li Dong and his team's budget.

At this rate, it is not impossible to reach 35 million or even 40 million users before the end of the month.

...

The number of 3G users has increased significantly, and correspondingly, the smart phone market has also flourished.

OPPO has not been making mobile phones for a long time, and it has always been self-produced and sold.

Different from Apple and later generations of Xiaomi, even mobile phones like Huawei actually have many OEMs. Their mobile phones are all components produced by OEMs and finally assembled.

In Huaxia, although the later generations of blue and green brothers have been criticized, it is not completely unreasonable for the opponent to counterattack. At least, their mobile phones are all produced by themselves.

Because there is no sub-manufacturer, the quality control is consistent, and if there is a problem with the product itself, it is easier to control.

The key to choosing to build their own factory is that the Blue-Green Brothers started out with manufacturing.

Backgammon was a giant in the manufacturing industry back then, with many factories and complete equipment.

OPPO was born as Backgammon, and it is not without reason that it chose to build its own factory.

Mobile phones such as Xiaomi and Apple are only playing with concepts. In terms of product manufacturing, these mobile phone manufacturers are far inferior to the blue-green brothers.

Of course, it is an undeniable fact that concepts are more valuable these days.

Although OPPO has been following the route of self-production and self-sale, as the demand for smartphones expands, it sees that its production speed of mobile phones cannot keep up with the speed of shipments.

On the 20th, Chen Mingyong, the boss of OPPO, couldn't hold it back. He called Li Dong and asked if he wanted to cooperate with an OEM.

At present, OPPO is the mobile phone manufacturer with the largest smartphone shipments in China, accounting for almost half of the market share.

But because of this, OPPO is under a lot of pressure, and other giant companies are staring at OPPO.

In the past few days, OPPO has even shown signs of being out of stock.

Chen Mingyong is really happy and painful at this time. The happy thing is that cooperating with Yuanfang may be the wisest decision in his life.

With the help of Li Dong's reputation and Yuanfang's online and offline channels, OPPO's channel laying has saved at least more than three years, and the development speed has been advanced by more than three years.

But the pain is that Li Dong is too capable of tossing around.

This guy is not ordinary strong, saying he is a marketing master is not flattering.

With the help of Wanka's offline code scanning business, rebate activities, red envelope activities, and other influences, and even the sponsorship of some Dongxing programs, including cooperation with China Mobile, OPPO has brought a large number of orders.

Chen Mingyong never thought that OPPO would achieve such a level in such a short period of time.

Some of the previous factories and equipment, including labor, are completely insufficient.

The 30 million mobile phones that have been co-located with China Mobile will have to be launched on the 1st, and the work has not been completed by this time, so Chen Mingyong has to be anxious.

At this time, it was too late to quickly expand the factory and recruit workers.

Chen Mingyong thought about it for a long time, and finally he called Li Dong to find a foundry to cooperate with. Otherwise, due to the production volume, OPPO is likely to sell out of stock, which will lead to the market being invaded by other mobile phone manufacturers.

...

When he received the call from Chen Mingyong, Li Dong happened to be playing with Xu Shengzhe and the others at the Lanshan Club.

When he heard that Chen Mingyong was troubled by the shortage of supply, Li Dong said speechlessly: "Isn't this a good thing?

What's more, 30 million mobile phones are not sold out in a day, so why worry.

Sometimes it's good to have a little hunger marketing strategy. "

He casually said a few words, but this was not Li Dong's real purpose. Li Dong said with a smile: "There is no rush for the foundry, it is too late, you can find some factories to cooperate with for a short time, and do a good job of quality control." Just work.

Isn't your biggest headache now that the factory is too late to build itself?

Why is it so troublesome? Recently, OPPO has made a lot of money. Its sales of mobile phones are close to 14 million units.

How long has it been, the profit alone has exceeded 2 billion, right?

Don't stare at the foundry, stare at your old club!

Your old company has a lot of good things. It started producing mobile phones many years ago. I heard that your old company also wants to enter the smart phone field recently. Why take risks?

You have a deep relationship there, and you have a good relationship with BBK's old friends. We are all brothers. It's cheaper to take over their business directly.

In this way, in a short period of time, OPPO will make some rectifications, and in a short period of time, won't you be able to complete your own production goals? "

Li Dong smiled treacherously, there are many good things about Backgammon.

In later generations, OPPO and vivo can rise so quickly and complete such a large-scale production without the help of foundries. Do you really think that they can handle it within a few years?

It's not because of the glory of backgammon, a lot of work in the early stage has been saved.

Now that vivo hasn't appeared yet, and without this brother to share the spoils, Li Dong must of course suggest to Chen Mingyong that he should act first, and simply let this brother die in the womb and enjoy the results all by himself.

With the resources of BBK, OPPO can accomplish a lot of work in a short period of time.

At the beginning, Li Dong chose to cooperate with OPPO because the other party had this old club.

The good things left by the old club, you can eat what you can, and now backgammon is going downhill, and in the end, it is not known who is cheaper. Taking this opportunity, Li Dong naturally has to encourage Chen Mingyong to talk.

Backgammon's old segment currently also has shares in OPPO.

vivo hasn’t come out yet, and BBK wants to make a smart phone, but it’s still just talking about it. There is still a lot of hope for an old man like Chen Mingyong to come out for an interview.

Of course, if it was Li Dong, it would probably be useless.

Backgammon can be eaten by OPPO, but it will not be eaten by Li Dong.

If Backgammon agrees, the Guangdong provincial government may not even agree.

When Li Dong said this, Chen Mingyong on the other side of the phone was really moved.

Backgammon, as the leading enterprise in Guangdong Province, was also the overlord of the manufacturing industry back then. It started to get involved in the mobile phone industry in 1996.

Although some of the equipment and factories back then were very outdated, some were even eliminated.

But in the past few years, BBK has also added a lot of new equipment and factories, and some additional equipment can be used for the production of parts for smart phones.

If it really wants to swallow some of BBK's industries, OPPO can at least save more than one or two years of development time.

Chen Mingyong didn't think about this before, but OPPO was not at the same level as Backgammon before.

Even now, despite the fact that OPPO has made a lot of money recently, it is still not at the same level.

In addition, Backgammon also wanted to enter the field of smart phones. Chen Mingyong felt that it was more difficult, so he just thought about it, but he didn't really consider the feasibility of this matter.

Now being told by Li Dongyi, Chen Mingyong was immediately tempted.

Chen Mingyong was still thinking about it, and Li Dong said again: "In addition to some factory equipment, some technical talents, patents, these can also be bought and dug up.

By the way, the other party also has an after-sales system all over the country, including offline channels are also extremely strong.

How troublesome it is for them to make their own smartphones, and it may not be beneficial to enter the market now.

Give more money, quote more, if you are short of money, go to Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen just can't find investment targets recently, three or five billion, Mr. Shen can still come up with it.

Plus OPPO's own profits, I don't believe that with so much money, Backgammon won't be tempted?

If you are willing, you will gain something.

Don’t worry too much about petty profits. With your contacts in BBK and you are also a well-known entrepreneur in Guangdong Province, I think the local government may also be happy to see the results, right? "

Chen Mingyong thought about it for a while, before saying: "I'll try it, thank you Mr. Li for your suggestion."

"You're welcome, let's communicate with each other. Next time you have trouble or need money, you can come to me. I, Li Dong, are the most willing to help others."

Li Dong laughed for a while and hung up the phone.

Xu Shengzhe, who was wiping his sweat at the side, waited for him to hang up the phone, couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "Li Dong, you're really good.

I didn't show my face, but actually encouraged OPPO to swallow my old company, are you embarrassed? "

Li Dong sneered, sat down and took a sip of coffee, and said disdainfully: "Don't do this with me.

What is incitement?

I am teaching them how to use resources rationally.

The development speed of OPPO is obvious to all, but BBK is going downhill, and Snake Tunxiang is not hopeless.

Besides, it's not all swallowed up, but resource integration. As long as the mobile phone business is involved, nothing else is needed, so it's nothing, right?

Backgammon did not focus on this in the first place. If these resources can be used to exchange billions of development funds, maybe it can be brilliant again, don’t you think? "

Xu Shengzhe said with emotion when he heard the words: "In recent years, some old leading enterprises have died or declined.

But having said that, there are quite a few leading companies that died in your hands, Li Dong.

Guomei, Suguo, Sanlian... Maybe you have to add backgammon...

You guy, you just catch these older generations and bully you, and you don't know how to take care of them. "

Li Dong glanced at him, and said speechlessly: "It's true, there is no reason, why should I take care of others?

What's more, it's not up to me to decide whether to die or not.

They died, it was my own fault, do I have to go to each family to guide how to do it? "

Xu Shengzhe just said that, seeing what he said, he didn't answer, and changed the subject: "By the way, seriously, how many shares do you have in OPPO?

You guy, you spare no effort to contribute to OPPO.

Channel laying, promotion, marketing, including letting the other party take over the industry of the old company now, as well as the large orders from China Mobile, are all really hard work.

You guy, you can't get up early without profit, and you don't have more than 40% of the shares, I don't even believe it. "

Li Dong laughed and said, "No, no, not at all. I have nothing to do with OPPO."

"cut!"

Xu Shengzhe was contemptuous for a while, cheating ghosts.

Seeing this, Li Dong smiled and said, "But it seems that Shen Qian has a controlling stake, so that's the way it is anyway."

He didn't hide it either, in fact, he didn't need to hide it.

Everyone inside and outside the industry knows that Li Dong definitely holds a large share in OPPO.

With Li Dong's personality, he would be so concerned about something that is not good?

However, most people probably didn't expect to directly hold a controlling stake.

In fact, Shen Qian now holds 52% of OPPO's shares. If it weren't for this, how could Li Dong be able to connect and let China Mobile and OPPO reach such a large order.

Countless domestic and foreign manufacturers are vying for this order.

Li Dong signed an agreement with China Mobile at that time, China Mobile considered it for a while, and OPPO is indeed the leader in the domestic smartphone market with a very high market share, so the two parties reached a cooperation.

Otherwise, OPPO would not have won this order so easily, let alone all of them.

Yuanfang even subsidized a lot of it, but Li Dong would not really pay for the money himself. He had already negotiated with OPPO, and they were responsible for paying the bill.

"Holding!"

Xu Shengzhe was surprised for a while, and then cursed: "You bastard, are you stealing money?

You have to intervene in any profitable business.

As far as OPPO's current shipments and market share are concerned, by the end of the year, it will be at least 10 billion or more. What the hell, making money is like picking up money! "

Old Xu is becoming more and more jealous of this guy now, and if he can make something casually, it is almost the same as what their Xu family has accumulated for decades.

If it goes on like this, it doesn't count as far away. Li Dong's other properties are comparable to Longhua's.

Also, Longhua also owns Li Dong's shares now, and there are quite a few of them. The companies that will make money after co-authoring must work for Li Dong.

Jealousy is jealousy, Li Dong has good eyesight, and he can't help it.

Not wanting to irritate himself with these things anymore, Xu Shengzhe changed the subject.

This time he came to Li Dong for entertainment, but not really for entertainment.

Now he and Li Dong are very busy people, if it is not for business, who would have time to sit here and talk nonsense.
