Chapter 1511 The Beginning of an Era

After arriving in Shenzhen, I held a meeting with the senior management of Dongxu Technology. Although Yang Dongxu rarely came to Dongxu Technology, he had a high prestige in the company.

After all, the company has been expanding rapidly every year, and his prestige as the helmsman of the company has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He does not need to appear in the company every day to increase his control over the company.

When Dongxu Technology held a meeting, they naturally discussed more about Dongxu Technology's business. Regarding the Honor series of mobile phones, Dongxu Technology's OEM is only slightly high-end OEM.

It OEMs the motherboard and most of the electronic components of Honor mobile phones, not like Fudakang OEM, which OEMs the entire Honor mobile phone assembly.

At present, for the Honor mobile phone series, except for the Pangu system, which is OEMed by Honor, the chips are found by Samsung and TSMC, and the mobile phone motherboard and most of the electronic components are produced by Dongxu Technology.

The battery is handed over to BYD, the shell is handed over to other factories, and then the headphones, chargers and other things are handed over to other manufacturers.

Then these OEM parts will flow into Fudakang to complete the assembly of the whole machine, and then Honor will take samples for testing, and then push them to the market after passing the test.

Therefore, the entire Honor company only has patents for smartphone systems and current chip designs, as well as some technical patents such as cameras and image quality.

In terms of mobile phone hardware, Honor does not have a production line, and follows a high-tech routine similar to Apple.

And Yang Dongxu plans to make the Pangu system, like the Apple system, not open to the public, and will form a domain kingdom that belongs to him alone.

I can be compatible with you, but if you want to interoperate, you must pay a fee, just like Apple, you have to give me a commission if you sell games on my phone.

"So so far, we still can't bypass the lithography machine to produce chips?" Yang Dongxu sat in the main seat in the large conference room of Dongxu Technology.

On his left sat the senior executives of the Dongxu Technology Operation Department, and how the entire Dongxu Technology operates is managed by these people.

And on his right sat the head and core R&D members of the R&D department.

The company operation of Dongxu Technology is the business of the Operation Department, which includes the management of the entire company, the formulation of the company's development strategy, etc., which are all managed by Ye Rongrong of the Operation Department.

But on the R&D department side, the person in charge is a real researcher, and it is a very independent department. The Operation Department has the power to make requirements for the R&D Department to develop various technologies, but it has no right to interfere with the R&D.

And the funds of the R&D Department are supervised by Yang Dongxu himself, and they go through another R&D fund account, not the account of the Operation Department, so the personnel of the R&D Department are very independent.

This can ensure that the R&D personnel do their own research 100%, and will not be disturbed by the unreasonable requirements of the Operation Department due to market demand.

"It is not possible from the current technical means." The head of the R&D department shook his head very frankly.

The R&D Department is already at the forefront of the world in chip design, but in chip production, they really can't do anything without a photolithography machine.

"We are the first in computer hard drives, the top three in graphics cards and memory bars, and CPUs, and the first in mobile phone motherboards. At the same time, we are also among the top three in the world in the development of 3G networks and 4G networks.

Even the 4G patent technology can be said to be the first in the world, and we have begun to try 5G tentatively." The head of the R&D department said.

I want to tell the big boss that they really didn't sleep in the laboratory with the sky-high R&D fees, but they are really working.

"5G R&D should be bold, but under this premise, it is best to maintain the first position of 4G technology. Even if it cannot be maintained, we, the rule makers, must have absolute say." Yang Dongxu said.

"This is absolutely no problem. Whether it is 3G or 4G, no one in the world can bypass our patented technology and play alone." The head of the R&D department has absolute confidence in the technology in his hands.

The meeting lasted for more than an hour. After the meeting, Yang Dongxu rushed to Honor Company without stopping.

The glory of the country is Yang Dongxu's expectation for this company. From the current point of view, this expectation has not been disappointed. At least the first shot of smartphones will be fired by Honor Company, opening a new chapter in the mobile phone industry.

"Work is important, but you should also pay attention to rest." When he came to the company and saw Lei Jun with two panda eyes, Yang Dongxu patted him on the shoulder.

"I also want to rest, but when I open my eyes, I see all kinds of technical problems and a head full of codes. I can't sleep well, so I'd rather work." Lei Jun said helplessly.

Yang Dongxu nodded with some understanding. He didn't know whether Boss Qiao was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night after iPhone 4 came out. Anyway, he couldn't control his excitement now, not to mention Lei Jun who was in charge of the specific work.

"After the mobile phone came out, the salary of all employees in the company will increase by 10%, and 16 salaries will be paid at the end of the year." Yang Dongxu didn't say anything big or empty.

Lei Jun probably had already been praised for his high hats, such as the world's first and we are creating our own era. The people in the company probably had calluses on their ears after hearing them.

So Yang Dongxu was very practical and gave money directly. Some people say that mentioning money is cliché, but as a company, if it doesn't even mention such clichés, it is simply a hooligan.

So Yang Dongxu gave 16 salaries as soon as he came up, and many programmers who were staring at the same panda eyes as Lei Jun, immediately let out a unique ape-like howl and cheer.

In Lei Jun's office, Yang Dongxu got the Honor 1st generation mobile phone. It is no exaggeration to say that this phone is currently locked in a safe.

But compared to the digital camera locked in the camera film studio back then, the Honor 1st generation in the safe in front of him is about to be released and burst into dazzling light.

"Are you ready to be the center of attention?" Yang Dongxu asked Lei Jun with a smile, playing with the two Honor phones in domineering black and classic silver in his hand.

Seeing his employees receive salary rewards, they started to work hard as if they were injected with chicken blood. Lei Jun, who was still calm, blushed instantly when he heard Yang Dongxu's words, and his eyes burst into a brilliance that he had never had before.

"Ready." The voice was not loud, but deep and powerful, with the momentum of facing thousands of difficulties and obstacles and moving forward.

"Then go full steam ahead to mass produce 30 million units first, and distribute them globally." Yang Dongxu waved his hand.

If it were another mobile phone manufacturer, and the first mobile phone production and distribution was 30 million units, others would definitely think that this person was crazy.

But Yang Dongxu and Lei Jun both knew that this number was actually very conservative.

Last year, in 2005, the sales volume of Huaxia mobile phones alone reached an astonishing 80 million units. It has only been a few days since July this year.

According to the latest mobile phone sales report, Huaxia mobile phone sales are expected to exceed 100 million this year, and there is no water in the data.

Because this statistic only counts branded phones, some copycat phones and parallel import phones are not included. If these phones are included, the sales figure will at least double.

Of course, this mobile phone sales volume is the total sales volume created by more than a dozen mobile phone brands in the world, plus more than a dozen domestic mobile phone brands in Huaxia.

It still feels a bit risky for Honor mobile phones to directly mass-produce 30 million units. However, if this risk is distributed globally, this number is really not exaggerated at all.

First of all, although Huaxia's economic growth has been very fast in recent years, it still has a long way to go to become the world's largest consumer market.

Especially in the consumption of electronic products, Europe and the United States are the main forces. So the Chinese mobile phone market is so hot, and the mobile phone market in Europe and the United States can be imagined.

30 million units, 10 million units are left in China, and one is shared by South Korea and Benben, and then Europe, the United States and Southeast Asia. When it comes down to it, only the 10 million units in China are conspicuous, and the supply reserves in other places are really not exaggerated.

But the advent of smartphones will have a devastating impact on the traditional mobile phone industry.

Of course, it is not so easy to completely distribute goods globally. First of all, Honor Mobile did not have its own direct stores before, let alone overseas, and even in China, it did not have its own mobile phone store before.

Secondly, to distribute goods overseas, to which country to distribute goods, the text conversion of that country must be done well. In addition to finding agents and building various flagship stores, these cannot be completed in a short time.

However, although these things are many and troublesome, Lei Jun is not worried at all. Because since the big boss proposed global distribution, it is obvious that he has thought of a plan in advance.

What he needs to do is to make Honor phones better, and to continuously improve the software development and hardware R&D technology to maintain the technological advantage. This is what he needs to care about.

Lei Jun was right. Global distribution sounds very domineering, but it is difficult to do it. However, Yang Dongxu already has a plan in mind.

First of all, the United States will be handed over to Jack and the Kennedy family. They can even penetrate the European market. After all, the United States still has a great influence on Europe.

Secondly, the European market that these two families cannot eat can be filled by Dai'er, a little rich woman.

Dai'er, who is afraid that her title of Spencer family princess will become more and more dim over time, has been desperately transforming this halo into her own money in recent years.

So she must try her best to eat this agent who can directly turn over the serfs to sing. Even if she can't eat it in the end, isn't there Dai'er's brother?

If the little princess of the Spencer family can't do it, then the current head of the Spencer family can definitely do it. After all, Britain is a long-established European power. What's more, the influence of the Spencer family is not limited to Britain, but has connections with many European bigwigs.

Again, there is no need to worry about the Korean and Benben markets, as well as the Southeast Asian market. Can the territory at your doorstep be taken away by others? Just arrange it and it's done.

As for the domestic market, whether it is opening a counter in the Millennium Supermarket or finding a store with an excellent location in the Hurricane Building Plaza City Complex to open a flagship store, it will only take a few minutes.

So the most important thing now is that Yang Dongxu will solve the store directly, and Lei Jun doesn't have to worry about freight. He has to do a little better in addition to mobile phone research and development.

"Recruit a large number of shopping guides for training. Smartphones are out, and you need to teach users how to use them, right?

For salespeople in different regions, you can train shopping guides in different languages. Then send them to work in stores around the world.

Those who perform well can be promoted to store managers. For those who perform poorly, after teaching local store shopping guides how to improve users' smartphone experience, they can choose whether to stay in the local area or return to China."

"Understood." Lei Jun nodded.
