Chapter 1639 What Pot Goes with What Lid

In terms of mobile phone chip and memory operation technology, each upgrade to a technical level requires a lot of money and time.

In order to better enhance users’ mobile phone experience under limited technical conditions. Therefore, the new version of Honor mobile phone system has made some changes in data conversion.

All smart phone systems now are systems where APP products are continuously linked to the backend of mobile phone users.

For example, if you use YY, you can receive reminders immediately when someone sends you a message. Although you have closed YY on your mobile phone, the link between the background of your mobile phone and YY is not completely disconnected.

Only in this way can you receive it as soon as possible when someone sends you a message. Otherwise, if you completely disconnect the link. When someone sends you a message, they can only receive the message after you reopen YY and connect to the YY server again.

The newly upgraded Pangu system disconnects the continuous link between the APP and the user's mobile phone when the user closes it, and changes it to the server link between the APP and the Pangu system.

If someone sends a message to a friend on YY, and the friend closes YY at this time. Then this information will come to the Pangu server, and then the Pangu system will prompt the user that there is information on his YY.

The user opens YY and connects to the YY server again, and then friends can chat normally.

This seems to be an extra step, which is thankless and affects the user experience.

But this is not actually the case. The additional procedure is to improve the user experience.

Because when there is a Pangu system server as a transfer and temporary storage of information, all APPs on your smartphone can be completely disconnected from your phone when you close them.

In this way, this APP will not occupy your background memory. There is only one link to the Pangu system running in your entire background, which greatly improves the running speed of the user's mobile phone, thereby improving the user's smooth use experience.

Of course, this is good for both the user and the smartphone. After all, the user has received the information they should receive, and it can also prevent mobile phone jams. The memory computing pressure on smartphones will be greatly reduced.

But for some APPs, it is not so cool. After all, once the user closes the APP used in the mobile phone, the link is directly disconnected from the APP server.

How can they secretly access the user's backend?

Once the user accesses it when using the APP, the Pangu system will start to prompt that a certain APP is accessing your address book, a certain APP is accessing your photo album, and a certain APP is accessing your videos.

In an instant, this APP gave users a very bad feeling. They used to feel good about the APP, but suddenly they felt that they didn’t like it very much.

Therefore, although there are some things that users are not happy with, but you access them secretly and the users don’t know about it, then everyone can just pretend that nothing happened.

As a result, Pangu System blocked this sneaky backdoor, which made the developers of these APPs instantly spartan.

So after Lei Jun finished talking about the server problem, he also mentioned some things that are currently being protested by smartphone app companies.

With the temporary transfer of data, the requirements for the server have increased significantly.

Once Pangu's new system is launched, APP companies that are already dissatisfied with Pangu's fees will definitely be more furious.

What Lei Jun originally thought was that he would make some concessions on fees, and then roll out a new system, so that the gains of both parties would be balanced again.

But depending on what the big boss wants at this time, it is clear that he does not intend to make concessions in terms of charging, and it is even less likely to offer discounts when it comes to updating new functions of the Pangu system.

After all, in order to develop this thing, Pangu System's servers have begun to invest money in upgrading, and many additional units have been given away. How could they stop their plans and let the investment money go to waste because they are dissatisfied with these APP suppliers.

However, it is impossible to give up, but you can postpone it for a while, ease the currently intensified contradiction, and then stimulate it again so that 1+1 will not be greater than 2.

"How many versions of the Pangu system are there yet to be updated?"

"Three, two detail improvements, and one major update."

"In this case, let the Pangu system become the only data conversion function running the system in the background of the mobile phone. We will update it after a period of time. First, we should update the version in our hands. Now that it is made, it cannot be wasted.

Moreover, whether the server is expanded or installed, it takes time. After updating the version in hand, it should be almost time. "

"Then I will implement this idea first. If there is anything wrong, you will come over and guide us, and we will make adjustments." Lei Jun nodded.

Then the matter was agreed upon, and then he turned around and proposed another matter, "There are several domestic smartphone brands, but I felt that domestic competition was too great and decided to expand abroad.

And the markets they choose to expand are not developed countries like Europe and the United States, but secondary markets like India and the lowest markets in Africa. "

"Those who dare to go out are warriors, and whether it is the secondary market or the bottom market, as long as it can make money, it is a good market." Yang Dongxu said.

"Are you optimistic about the road to India and Africa?" Lei Jun was a little surprised.

After all, in his opinion, India is still reasonable, at least the consumption level of their rich people is still acceptable. But over in Africa, are there cell phone towers there?

“From the perspective of the current global smartphone market, it is a wise choice to go to the secondary and bottom-end markets to stake out a place first.

The Chinese market is needless to say. Although it is a future supermarket, there are too many competitors.

This is the home base of our Honor mobile phones, and Samsung and Apple are also eyeing the mainland market.

In addition, with more than a dozen smartphone brands emerging this year, it is basically impossible to make a breakthrough in this market. Even if we can make it, we still have the ceiling to suppress us, and there is basically no hope of being the first.

European and American markets are needless to say. Apple’s main battlefield, Samsung’s goal, and the market that Honor mobile phones are currently focusing on expanding. There are three giants wreaking havoc, and other mobile phone brands Even in the past, the competition was still only for the low-end market.

On the other hand, whether it is India or Africa, it is a blank market. As long as you occupy it, it will be yours. As for whether there is communication equipment in Africa due to backward infrastructure.

There is no communication equipment now, but it does not mean there will be no communication equipment in the future. And even if there is no communication equipment now, it is an opportunity, because if people in the past had the ambition to lay the infrastructure with their own money.

Then this market is basically his, because if other mobile phone brands enter, their communication towers will not be used by you, and your mobile phone will not be able to make calls, so why buy a mobile phone. "

"It is indeed an opportunity, but the investment is also very large." Lei Jun had to admit that his boss made sense, but he felt it was not cost-effective in terms of investment cost.

"Don't be ignorant of the hunger of a hungry man when you are full. For these domestic smartphone brands, first, they don't have the first mover like Honor, and second, they don't have the strong technology to compete with Samsung and Apple, let alone Honor mobile phones.

Whether in the mainland market or in the developed markets of Europe and the United States. If you want to gain a foothold, even if you want to grab the low-end market, you need to spend a lot of money.

The amount of money spent is not necessarily less than investing in infrastructure in Africa. Anyway, it is all money. So why don't I change places to spend and become the boss?

For Honor mobile phones, Africa is indeed not our first choice market. After taking over the European and American markets, small countries in Southeast Asia, India or the Middle East market are ours to go to. The goal of expansion.

There are indeed a small number of people in Africa who can afford Honor phones, but they are too few, and it is not cost-effective to expand in other markets, so you look down on this market.

But for mid- and low-end mobile phone brands, they originally went to the mid- and low-end market. Africa's backward consumer market is just suitable for the sale of low-end phones. This is called what pot matches what lid, and the one that suits you is the best. "

"Okay, first go to the secondary market, and then the low-end market may really be their way. "Lei Jun said: "The last thing, you can leave work early after dealing with the big boss. "

"You are teaching me how to do things. "Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows.

Lei Jun knew his boss was joking, and continued, "Prince William's chip technology has been rapidly improved with the support of Dongxu Technology and its technical personnel.

At present, the 32-nanometer chip technology has achieved a breakthrough, and the basic conditions for establishing a production line have been met. So our chip production plant can start production.

It's just that where the production line is placed. When I negotiated with Prince William and several other people, I encountered some differences. They hope to put the production line in Europe and the United States. I think it's best to put it in China.

After all, the domestic smartphone supporting production chain can be said to have completely completed the innovation and upgrade, which is not inferior to the production chain in Europe and the United States, and even surpasses it in many places.

In addition to the problem of domestic labor costs, no matter from which angle, it is more appropriate to put the chip production line in China."

"Then put it in China. If they feel uneasy, they can start production by licensing technology. That is, the chip production line is in China, and the technology belongs to William's technology company that we jointly opened.

Chip profit "They will transfer the money first, and after paying taxes according to domestic policies, I will help them to transfer it to the foreign account, and there will be absolutely no problem."

"In this way, this matter can basically be solved. Anyway, many companies in Europe and the United States are playing the technology licensing game, moving the production line to China and making more money with low labor. Then will the production line company be placed under the name of Honor?"

"Set up a new company, and hide the Honor mobile phone. Let William and his team take care of the charge in front, and follow the normal foreign investment process.

Let him contact the Ministry of Commerce of the country directly, and then negotiate on the issue of the chip production line settling in China, and then set up a new company.

However, on the surface, it is a joint venture project between William and his team and the Ministry of Commerce of China. But we must intervene in the company's finances and operations, and we must have real power.

In a word, let them take the title, and let them do what president and CEO are. As a third-party shareholder, we must have real control not only in shares but also in the company's operators. "

"Understood. "
