Chapter 1527: Money Moves People’s Hearts
In the office of the general manager of Honor, Lei Jun put down his phone and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the thigh he was holding was thick enough and the roots were deep enough, otherwise he might not be able to withstand the hungry wolves rushing in.
As the national media began to congratulate and praise Honor's mobile phone, he even appeared on the news broadcast for more than ten seconds.
Originally, the call was to invite each other to dinner, but the general and the young master who kept talking about what convenience they could provide to Honor suddenly became much more polite.
The previous words about providing convenience for the development of Honor obviously need to be heard in reverse. What convenience others can provide you can also cause you trouble, and it is a bigger trouble.
If you don't want to be entangled in these troubles, you naturally have to take out some dry shares to share profits and spend money to eliminate disasters.
But since it was on the news broadcast, it is obvious that Honor has been heard by the emperor, and there are people behind it. So these people felt that they couldn't eat Honor, and began to contact the upper level to see if they could find a few real young masters to eat meat together.
As a result, those young masters didn't give them any feedback at all.
So these people instantly understood that there was a big boss behind Honor Mobile, a big boss that even the real big boys were afraid of. So the phone calls from Lei Jun, which were originally full of hints and threats, instantly turned into various polite congratulations.
This allowed Lei Jun, who had been nervous these days, to finally relax completely.
To be honest, the various phone invitations recently were more stressful than when he was working on the smartphone system in the R&D room.
He was not overwhelmed by the various technical difficulties during the R&D period, but was almost broken by the various phone calls in recent times.
But now the rain has passed and everything is in the past. What he has to do now is to continue to reserve high-end technology for smartphones, and then watch smartphones set sail and grow into giants.
Those hungry wolves who want to take a bite of fat meat on smartphones have Young Master Yang to deal with, so he doesn't have to worry anymore.
Lin Wei frowned as she looked at the R&D report submitted by the technical department in her hand.
Although it was slapped back by Rising Sun Technology before, Weibo's blocking of YY did not have the expected effect, but instead lost a wave of people.
But the main responsibility was shouldered by Xinlang, and neither Magic Realm nor CC was affected too much in Jiucheng. Especially with the continuous introduction of various preferential benefits, the number of online users of CC began to pick up and the future was bright.
But just when Weibo was logged in in South Korea and began to promote to Southeast Asia, it was considered to go abroad to win glory for the country, covering up the face that was swollen by the backhand slap of Xuri Technology, and even the halo on the head became dazzling again.
Smartphones appeared, and it swept in like a landslide and tsunami, suppressing the mutual flattery among various technology companies, entertainment and various gossips, and the front page headlines of sports news.
It appeared in front of everyone in various crushing postures and caused an unimaginable craze.
The original price of the Honor 1 mobile phone was 6800, but now it has been priced at 9000 on the Internet due to shortages. It can be seen how popular this mobile phone is.
You have to know that people nowadays have not experienced the mobile phone era. Everyone knows that the best electronic products such as mobile phones are always the latest models, and the old models will depreciate when they are bought.
But countless people are still flocking to Honor smartphones. If anyone can take out an Honor phone and put it on the table at a party, it will definitely be a great honor.
People are rushing to buy Honor smartphones, and technology companies are holding meetings all night and working overtime in the R&D department to study smartphones.
These should have nothing to do with the online game industry of Jiucheng. It is enough to make its own games.
But after logging in to YY on a smartphone, the voice and video functions, especially the video function, are directly higher than the effect of ordinary phones. For a time, the number of YY registrations soared.
And in the past, many elderly people did not have YY accounts, and even many elderly people did not know how to go online. But now, as long as the elderly who bought a smartphone have a YY account.
Because as long as you log in to YY, you can video chat with your son who lives outside the yard, see your son, and see your grandson. Although they are thousands of miles apart, they seem to be right in front of you.
This caught CC, who was seeing a continuous recovery and seemed to be getting closer and closer to YY, off guard. In just a few days, you could see YY's back, but now you can't see the shadow of the other party.
What makes Lin Wei even more headache is that CC, which followed YY's footsteps and imitated it in various ways, can't imitate it this time.
Originally, when CC was acquired by overseas capital and went abroad, it took away some core technical personnel. After Jiucheng took over CC, although it added a lot of top technical personnel.
But the development of CC is still based on the original foundation and follows YY's footsteps. Now that YY has taken off with the help of smartphones, CC can't see the other party's footsteps.
Because CC can't compare with YY in video technology or voice technology. Without this pair of wings, they can't take off like YY, and can only stand on the ground and stare.
In fact, it's not just Jiucheng that has a headache facing smartphones, the three major mobile operators are also extremely headache.
Because smartphones came too suddenly, although 3G networks have begun to cover the country, they can support mobile phones for voice, video, Internet browsing and other functions.
Network speed is not something that can be achieved just by saying it can be achieved. This requires many technical difficulties to be overcome. More importantly, the relevant packages of the mobile phone cards of the three major mobile phone operators are all for old mobile phones.
In the past, whether it was logging into YY or reading novels online, how much traffic did the old version of the case mobile phone have?
So many times, friends contact each other by phone or text message, and only a little traffic is used every month.
But what about smart phones?
His demand for traffic has exploded, but mobile phone operators have not opened this business, so China Telecom, which has been a little silent in recent years, has once again become a hot topic.
On the day the mobile phone was launched, China Telecom signed a series of cooperation agreements with Honor Mobile Phone. For example, when buying an Honor mobile phone, you can apply for a China Telecom mobile phone card, and you can get as much money as you recharge, and you can also get the benefits of each 1G, 2G, 3G and other traffic packages.
At the same time, you can apply for 68, 92, 128 and other mobile phone packages, not only to enjoy 300 minutes + 1.5 cents per minute for calls within the province and 2 cents per minute for calls outside the province, but also to get 1,000 text messages, and a 2G traffic package every month.
In short, with the various packages that Huaxia Telecom has launched to keep up with the times and are suitable for smartphones, the packages of other mobile phone operators are all inferior.
This is not the most troublesome thing for other mobile phone operators. After all, if they can't keep up, they can catch up slowly. Anyway, their salary will not be reduced by a dime.
But now, basically all those who buy Honor mobile phones are high-quality customers who are willing to spend money, and many of them are even top customers with money. After all, not everyone can afford a mobile phone of 6,800 yuan.
The loss of this part of mobile phone users makes the three mobile phone operators feel distressed. After all, Zhejiang West customers are not only high-quality customers of a mobile phone package, but also high-quality customers of many other related aspects.
The manager of a business point that loses a business point must hold a meeting to summarize, and this has lost a large number of them at once.
Then the three companies decided to sue Huaxia Telecom.
The three mobile phone operators were very smart not to sue Honor Company. After all, anyone with eyes can see that this is now their own son. Suing him is like looking for shit (death) in a pit with a lantern in the toilet?
But suing Huaxia Telecom is different. They are all mobile phone operators, and this is an internal conflict.
"It's okay to ask for technology. I don't need money to license the technology, but I need to share some of the broadband resources of Telecom and the signal tower resources of the other two companies."
In the apartment in Chaoyang District, Yanjing, Yang Dongxu held his youngest son Wenwu in his arms, and Bai Xi was peeling an apple next to him.
Now Bai Xi is gradually returning to work. In addition to Dabao Cosmetics Company, she is also serving as the general manager of Huaxia Telecom.
Anyway, the strategy and direction of Huaxia Telecom are all formulated by Yang Dongxu, so she doesn't have to worry about this. As long as she manages the personnel allocation and administrative work, it will be fine. So although she is the general manager of two companies, it is not very tiring.
"You are waiting for them here, right?" Bai Xi couldn't help laughing.
"There is no way. Base station construction is really not something that ordinary people can play with." Yang Dongxu shrugged helplessly, then kissed his son on the face, and was pushed away by his son with a look of disgust.
The cost of infrastructure construction is beyond imagination, especially the mobile phone signal must cover the whole country, which requires you to build signal towers in mountainous areas, plateaus, Gobi deserts or forests.
Investment in this aspect. Anyway, if there is no compensation from the state, it will be really painful to build it. The profits of several companies will not be enough.
And the construction in this aspect is only China Telecom, which was born to the catfish concubine, and is obviously not as favored as the other three sons. So Yang Dongxu can only find ways to buy it with money or exchange it with technology.
In fact, even if these three companies don't cry and complain now, Yang Dongxu has decided to license the technology. After all, if you want Honor mobile phones to go further, you must be compatible with all types of mobile phone cards.
It is impossible to hand over all domestic mobile phone card business to China Telecom. At the same time, even if he does not open up technology now, it is only a matter of time for these three companies to catch up.
After all, when Apple entered the domestic market, there was no China Telecom at that time, and the traffic technology of the three major operators quickly caught up. After all, such a big cake is placed in front of them, and they must work overtime and squeeze on the table to enjoy it.
"What about the technology of smart phones? I heard that several domestic mobile phone manufacturers have jointly written several times in the past few days." Bai Xi asked.
"Technical authorization in this area is certain, but it will not be authorized now, but early next year. After all, even if they are authorized to use the hardware room technology now, they cannot produce smartphones.
Because in addition to hardware, the intelligent system is also of paramount importance. The Honor mobile phone system is relatively independent. I don't plan to let it be authorized to others. So if they want to use a smartphone system, they can either use Google's current Android or Apple's.
Apple doesn't seem to have any intention of opening its own operating system to the outside world, so only Google's Android is left. But the Android system is not yet fully capable of meeting the needs of smartphones. It takes time to develop, and it is estimated that it will be done by early next year."
