Don't even think about it.

This situation will continue until October 2007, when the mobile phone production approval system will be abolished. At that time, the 2G mobile phone license era will officially end, and Xia Guo will gradually enter the 3G smartphone era.

If Mingyuan Technology wants to rise in the 3G smartphone era, it will inevitably have to make arrangements in the 2G era in advance and accumulate relevant technologies.

After all, a smartphone is still a mobile phone at the end of the day, and basic communication functions must be guaranteed. These cannot be obtained by just patting on the forehead, but must be actually put into production and sales, and problems must be constantly discovered and solved.

Not to mention it has to be at the level of Nokia, but at least it must be at the level of Samsung.

Therefore, the issue of mobile phone licenses has to be solved.

Hearing what Lu Yiming said, Li Yiwen felt relieved and said with a smile: "I know you are useless and don't get up early."

Mobile phone licenses are something you can't buy even if you have money.

For example, the relationship between Lu Yiming and Chen Weirong is quite good, and Konka also has a mobile phone production license, but if Lu Yiming goes to Chen Weirong to discuss licensing issues, there will still be no discussion.

Why?

Because mobile phone licenses are like a money printing machine right now. Who can print money for others to use?

Li Yiwen continued: "I think this matter should be quite difficult. Are you sure that Maomao Electronics will be willing to sell you the license plate inside?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Sell? What is your big dream? Selling is impossible, but you can find a way to promote the cooperation between Maomao Electronics and Mingyuan Technology, and then establish a joint venture."

In fact, when the mobile phone license approval system was implemented, three thresholds were set for mobile phone manufacturers to enter: first, they must have a registered capital of more than 200 million, second, they must have been operating continuously for more than two years, and third, they must have research and development capabilities and have environmental protection and other relevant regulations.

Certification. However, in addition to the first few manufacturers that issued licenses that strictly met the above conditions, later small manufacturers gradually obtained mobile phone licenses by merging funds from multiple companies.

That's what Lu Yiming planned to do.

Li Yiwen asked: "Is it feasible? Are you sure they will agree?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Do you think I made this decision casually? I asked someone before. After getting the license, Maomao and Ericsson established a joint venture in Jinling and began to produce Ericsson and Maomao at the same time.

Mao mobile phone. At the beginning, Mao Mao mobile phone sold very well. After a while, it became the market leader. After all, it was the first batch of companies to obtain the license, so it had a great first-mover advantage."

At this point, Lu Yiming paused and expressed some emotion: "Unfortunately, in the promotion of the second generation of mobile phones, Maomao, which does not understand the market and lacks marketing methods, began to fall behind. Now the entire industry has introduced production lines and OEM

, all kinds of advertisements were thrown down all over the place, and the popularity became higher and higher. In comparison, Maomao mobile phone, which had been resting on its laurels, seemed too low-key, and its limelight was immediately overshadowed."

In 1993, Maomao Electronics launched Xia's first domestic brand mobile phone to the market. You must know that all mobile phones at that time were foreign brands, and Maomao was the only one in the country.

However, electronic products are updated too fast. Maomao Electronics, a long-established brand in the era of analog signal mobile phones, cannot be used in the era of 2G digital signal mobile phones.

Li Yiwen said: "So, Maomao Electronics urgently needs to make up for its weak points in market sales?"

"Yes, Maomao Electronics has products and certain technical achievements, but the results in product design and marketing are not satisfactory. And this is the opportunity for Mingyuan Technology."

At noon the next day, Lu Yiming called Zhong Youxiang.

"Mr. Zhong, what are you doing? I plan to treat you to a meal at noon today. Do you think you are free?"

Zhong Youxiang suddenly received a call from Lu Yiming, who invited him to dinner, and he immediately felt at a loss.

He racked his brains and couldn't figure out why Lu Yiming would invite him to dinner, and he felt very uneasy in his heart.

But Lu Yiming was inviting guests, and it was impossible for him not to go, so he had no choice but to go to the banquet with full of suspicion.

In a high-end restaurant, Zhong Youxiang met Lu Yiming and greeted him somewhat reservedly: "Mr. Lu."

Lu Yiming smiled slightly, pointed to the seat opposite and said, "Mr. Zhong, sit down."

Zhong Youxiang sat down carefully and asked, "Mr. Lu invited me to dinner. I'm really flattered."

Lu Yiming was not polite and said straight to the point: "I invited Mr. Zhong out for dinner today. The main reason is to discuss a business deal with you."

As the saying goes, a person who eats people has a soft mouth but a short hand when taking people. Zhong Youxiang, who had promised to go up to the sword and into the sea of ​​fire a few days ago, dared not refuse. He could only ask tentatively: "I wonder what kind of business Mr. Lu wants to discuss with me?"
