Chapter 1638 Still Wretched

It’s the end of September. After more than a year of development, the smartphone industry chain has basically been upgraded, and various foundries are also very complete.

Therefore, the smartphone market has ushered in an explosion of supply, and major mobile phone brands have been frantically stocking up in order to seize the market. This makes smartphones that were originally very popular suddenly become a bit of a mess.

Not only are suppliers open to supply, but the prices of mobile phones have also dropped again and again. From the starting price of at least two to three thousand yuan in the beginning, you can now take home a smartphone for only about one thousand yuan.

At the same time, as the sales volume of smartphones on the market has increased significantly, various mobile phone accessories have begun to appear one after another, such as mobile phone cases, mobile phone films, etc.

Among them, wireless WIFI merchants have suddenly begun to use network cables. In the past, if you opened a snack bar, it didn’t matter if you didn’t need an network cable or a cashier.

But now when customers come to the restaurant to eat, the first thing they ask is not the signature dishes or the prices of the dishes, but whether there is WIFI in the store.

Although under the influence of Yang Dongxu, the price of mobile phone 3G traffic packages has dropped again and again, but for many working people, especially students.

The monthly traffic price of the package is still a bit high. Even if I hold a smartphone and watch some videos on some web pages, the monthly traffic exceeds the standard, so I really can’t afford it.

So all kinds of things that use WIFI naturally formed. So when I go to a restaurant to eat, there is no WIFI in the restaurant, and the diners subconsciously want to find another restaurant.

This led to merchants quickly realizing the importance of getting a network cable, so the business of broadband business points increased sharply.

And as WIFI was installed in the store, another phenomenon appeared. That is to say, the time for guests to eat has been extended. Especially at noon, there are still many guests waiting outside.

The customers in the room were holding on to their mobile phones and not wanting to leave in order to use the Internet, which made the store owner feel helpless. He couldn't chase away the customers, right?

"For Honor, we should give priority to making mobile phones. As for the communication business, there are also server issues. If you can rent a domestic operator, priority will be given to renting one from a domestic operator. If there are no domestic ones in some areas, use European and American ones.

The telecommunications industry and server issues you mentioned will not be touched upon by Honor for the time being. "In the reception area of ​​the Honor Mobile Chairman's office, Yang Dongxu and Lei Jun were sitting face to face.

"In this case, our foundation is too weak." Lei Jun glanced at his big boss with some confusion.

According to the character of his big boss, he is a person who firmly wants to control his destiny in his own hands. He should be able to see that if he does not have communication and servers in his hands, he will be choked by others in the future.

"I understand what you said, but these two really can't touch each other now." Yang Dongxu smiled helplessly.

Lei Jun, who looked puzzled, thought of something, "Do you think Europe and the United States will directly deal with Glory when it comes to these two industries?"

"It's not that I think it, but I am sure that although Honor is the pioneer of smartphones, Apple in the United States is not a blank slate in this regard. Moreover, the development of the American technology industry has already surpassed that of China.

Therefore, they have weapons in hand and are confident that they can defeat Honor. In addition, some of Apple’s smartphone technologies are also authorized by us, so now everyone maintains a normal understanding of business competition.

But if you touch communications and servers, it is beyond the control of those resources in the United States. Because whether it is communications or servers, they have cards in their hands that cannot compete with Glory and can drain the bottom of the cauldron.

They have taken a step back in terms of chips, and William has started production. If these two trump cards are taken away, this group of people will have no sense of security. The small means occasionally used in normal business competition, which was originally a tacit understanding, may turn into tough means to tear people apart.

For example, directly disconnect the communication facilities and servers currently used by Honor mobile phones. "

"They can't be so shameless, right? We have signed a five-year contract with the communication provider and server provider. They are not afraid of being scorned by doing this. How can they do business without credibility?" Lei Jun felt that he was a bit alarmist. .

"Don't overestimate the lower limit of these capitals, or even if you think about it in a more dirty place, you won't be able to find out the other party's bottom line. Various financial attacks, clear technical blockades, and even Toshiba, an ally that threatened us, have been dismembered.

Is there anything else they dare not do? As for the credibility issue, it seems that if they lose credibility, others will not use their equipment. "Yang Dongxu's face was full of ridicule.

He is not mocking Lei Jun's kindness, but mocking the inner ugliness of those who have glamorous capital on the surface.

"How can they do business without credibility?" As a businessman, Lei Jun still couldn't understand how he could gain a foothold in the business world without credibility.

But before he finished speaking, he realized how to gain a foothold in the business world without credibility.

"Have you thought of it?" Yang Dongxu asked with a smile.

"This is so shameless."

"Even if Jesus is resurrected, there is no way for capital to lose face." Yang Dongxu said.

There is only one reason why you can continue to do business without fear of losing your credibility, and that is monopoly.

Without European and American communication mountains and servers, you can't find other communication providers and servers at all, so even if they breach the contract, what can you do even if they are shameless?

If a mobile phone doesn’t have a carrier or a server, you can’t even make calls. No matter how smart you are, it’s useless.

"So these two industries cannot touch each other for the time being. Honor mobile phones are still in the development stage and cannot stimulate these shameless people."

"But this always leaves a hidden danger. Now they feel that they have a chance to win Honor, so they still have to have some face. But what if they can't compete with Honor in the future? They will definitely use this trick again."

"Now, in order to avoid irritating the other party, Honor cannot be involved in these two industries for the time being. It's not that other companies can't do two industries.

The higher-ups have been advocating that our domestic communication companies go abroad, and they have made good progress in the surrounding small countries in the past two years. As for servers and so on, Dongxu Technology has been doing it.

Otherwise, how can I tell you that whether it is a communicator or a server, give priority to domestic ones, and then consider foreign ones? Without these, how can you give priority? So take your time."

"Okay." Lei Jun sighed helplessly. This is the sadness of being backward. Knowing that the road is correct, but because the other party is too strong, you have to avoid it and take a detour.

Yang Dongxu himself also felt aggrieved, he is Young Master Yang. But sometimes many things are not something you can rush through by being aggrieved, and he can only be aggrieved for this matter temporarily.

But everything is only temporary. As China's economy develops faster and faster, its status in the world continues to improve. One day, it will develop to the point where the United States dare not force its face.

For example, when the US capital invests more and more in China, when the money earned from targeting Chinese enterprises is far from enough to make up for the losses of the relationship.

When the US government wants to break up with China, these people will naturally help China without China saying anything, because capital is selfish.

They will never lose the little money in their pockets for the so-called national interests.

Of course, the iron must be hard, and bundling is just a means of forming alliances. Only when you hold the sword in your own hand can you have the initiative.

"Recently, some software operators have objected to our prohibition of accessing user contacts and charging extra fees." The first proposal was not feasible, and Lei Jun talked about the second thing.

"Ignore them. They just want to show off because they see other smartphones starting to gain market share and they think they don't lack smartphone users.

Just throw them aside and ignore them. Honor phones have a high market share. More importantly, many people who can afford Honor phones are big spenders when playing games. It would be a miracle if they can give up these users."

The reason why the Android system can quickly seize the market is that Honor phones and Apple do not open their systems to other mobile phone brands, and the second is because it is free.

When there are free things to use, people will naturally feel a little unhappy about the paid ones.

But what can you do if you are unhappy?

Give up Honor phones or Apple phone users?

How is this possible? Although they pay high handling fees, the recharge rate of users of these two phones is high. In the end, the small money contributed by users of these two phones is still more.

As long as there is money to be made, let alone charging handling fees, even if you drive them away with a stick, these people will not leave. Who can go against money?

"What about user data acquisition?" Lei Jun continued to ask.

Actually, to put it nicely, this problem is to better serve customers, so we need to obtain certain permissions on the phone. To put it bluntly, it is to crawl user data to form big data.

After the development of smart phones, you often encounter that when you use your phone to browse some places of interest, and then log in to the shopping website, the website will push you various similar products.

What about obtaining the user's phone address book permissions, location information and video album permissions, these are all routine operations.

Even more outrageous are those with expensive phones. Whether it is taking a taxi or booking air tickets online, booking a hotel is more expensive than those with cheaper phones.

And the so-called membership fees for old users, when ordering food, they actually spend more money than new users who don't buy memberships. In short, all kinds of outrageous operations continue.

"They can set the usage permissions of their own apps however they like. We neither advocate nor prevent them. But whether they are accessing the user's address book privately or accessing the user's photo album and video and other background functions, we have the obligation to remind users.

In this regard, don't give in because of their threats. You must consider the problem from the user's perspective, and the user experience feels good.

They are willing to pay a higher price to buy Honor phones instead of other brands of phones on the market. And with more high-spending users, those so-called protesting mobile games and various mobile APP companies will come to lick their boots.

This is the virtuous circle we should form. We have high-spending users in our hands, so we are not afraid of them. If the system is made the same as Android, will users still be willing to spend a lot to buy our phones?"

"I understand." Lei Jun nodded, and then continued, "The background information transfer system you mentioned has been updated. It can indeed improve the performance of many mobile phones and allow the mobile phone to run for a long time without lag, but this consumes too much server power."

This is actually the reason why Lei Jun proposed that Honor phones are engaged in communications and servers.
