Chapter 646 Cutting off MEIZU

When asking this question, Zhong Youxiang was actually very conflicted in his heart.

If Lu Yiming made an excessive request, he didn't know how to refuse it. After all, Lu Yiming could now be said to be the reborn parent of Maomao Electronics. He had prepared the materials and could go to the United States to get the money right away.

Moreover, Zhong Youxiang quickly went through all the business of the factory in his mind, and for a while he didn't know what kind of cooperation Lu Yiming planned to discuss with Maomao Electronics.

After all, Lu Yiming has stated publicly that he has no interest in building televisions.

But the business of Maomao Electronics is basically the manufacturing of complete TV sets and the production of spare parts.

It is impossible that Lu Yiming is not interested in making the complete machine, but is interested in accessories, right?

Lu Yiming said: "I heard that the mobile phones produced by your company have not performed well in the market recently. If Mr. Zhong doesn't mind, I think I can help."

As for other things, Zhong Youxiang might have to think about it, but when it comes to Maomao mobile phones, Zhong Youxiang really doesn't hesitate.

It is true that Maomao Electronics has a long history, and it once had a good reputation, but now Maomao is a company that has been eliminated by the times.

Not only is TV not doing well, its share is decreasing year by year, but other businesses are now in a mess, and the mobile phone business is no exception.

Zhong Youxiang originally wanted to expand his ideas for the mobile phone business, but he didn't expect Lu Yiming to come uninvited, which made him overjoyed.

He quickly said: "What a coincidence, our Maomao Electronics Group is indeed looking for candidates for the mobile phone business, intending to make up for the shortcomings of sales. What, Mr. Lu, are you interested?"

In fact, at this time, Panda Electronics had already found a suitable candidate - Ma Zhiping, a former post office employee in the suburbs of Jinling and a mobile phone seller.

Ma Zhiping, now 36 years old, started doing business twelve years ago and is known as "the old horse who drives a Lexus to deliver goods." He is currently the largest mobile phone distributor in Jiangsu Province. It is widely rumored in the industry that he is only Kejian.

Ma Zhiping sold about 260,000 units of the 6388 model mobile phone in 1999.

In comparison, the 3.3 million mobile phones produced and sold by Maomao Electronics seem to be quite a lot, but in fact, 2.8 million of them are Ericsson brand, and Maomao mobile phones only sold less than 500,000.

department.

One can imagine how rubbish the sales department of Maomao Electronics is.

That’s why Zhong Youxiang had to find someone to cooperate with him and set up a joint venture company with the intention of developing the Maomao mobile phone brand.

Otherwise, you can’t make any money even if you hold a money printing machine in your hand, which would be too embarrassing.

Originally, Zhong Youxiang was interested in Ma Zhiping, and the company was also discussing the matter, but now that Lu Yiming has taken the initiative to come to the door, naturally nothing will happen to Ma Zhiping.

Just kidding, the richest man comes over and wants to cooperate. Who can refuse?

Lu Yiming had analyzed the current predicament of Maomao Electronics before coming here, so he was well-prepared when facing Zhong Youxiang: "Mr. Zhong, I won't say any more nonsense. Maomao Electronics has technology and products, and I know marketing and have channels.

, Mingyuan Technology’s achievements are obvious to all, and if we can reach cooperation, it will be extremely beneficial to both of us.”

Mingyuan Technology's USB flash drives and MP3 players are the leading products in the United States, beating all the local brands in North America to the ground. Therefore, Zhong Youxiang was instantly attracted, and the two quickly chatted about specific cooperation.

details, they plan to jointly establish a new company called Maomao Mobile to be responsible for the production and sales of Maomao mobile phones.

Due to the special status of Maomao Electronics, Zhong Youxiang insisted that Maomao Electronics must control 51% of the shares of this new company.

Lu Yiming didn't care about this. After all, in the 2G era, all he needed was the accumulation of technology. It was already 2001, and when the 3G smartphone era arrived six years later, all the achievements in the 2G era would be fleeting, even if they were

Overlords like Nokia have to fall off the altar and be crushed into dirt.

Therefore, Lu Yiming doesn't care about the shares at all. This thing may be worthless in a few years, so there is no need to waste time fighting for it.

"Mr. Zhong, I have no objection at all to your 51% stake in the new company, but I have one condition. The Maomao mobile phone brand must belong to me."

After hearing this, Zhong Youxiang's expression suddenly changed and he said: "It is impossible for Maomao Electronics to sell mobile phone licenses. Mr. Lu must understand me. Even if I am the chairman, I do not have this power."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Mr. Zhong, look what you said, why should I use your license? What I want is the Maomao mobile phone brand. Look, I will contribute money and effort, manage channels and sales, and you will have the majority of the new company's shares."

, it’s not appropriate if I don’t take anything, don’t you think so?”

At present, domestic companies do not have a deep enough understanding of brands, but Lu Yiming is a veteran and has witnessed the classic case of Wong Lao Kat's brand dispute, so he naturally knows the weight of the word "brand".

Therefore, he is bound to win the Maomao mobile phone brand.

Zhong Youxiang persisted for a while and then decided to give in. Now Maomao mobile phones are not well-known in China and are not valuable at all. Now for Lu Yiming, he thinks it is worth it in exchange for the equity advantage of Maomao Electronics in the new company.

However, Zhong Youxiang was not willing to give in like this. After all, there is an old saying that goes well, showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing. Lu Yiming took the initiative to treat guests to dinner and also offered shares in exchange for brand ownership. Although Zhong Youxiang could not figure out what Lu Yiming wanted to do for a while.

, but he is sure that there must be big benefits in this, otherwise Lu Yiming would not have to go through such trouble.

They all came out to fool around, and of course they were all fuel-efficient lamps. Zhong Youxiang wouldn't believe that Lu Yiming was willing to spend such a big price to change brands if there wasn't something fishy about it. So in line with the mentality of having a date but not a date, he asked

Said: "Mr. Lu, can we adopt a licensing model? You can use the Maomao mobile phone brand at will, but the ownership belongs to us at Maomao Electronics. Everyone can get what they want."

However, Lu Yiming's goal was very clear. He didn't care about some of the current petty altruists, but he would never discuss the most basic and fundamental things with anyone. He immediately said with a strong attitude: "No, Maomao Cell Phone

The brand must belong to me, which is the prerequisite for all cooperation.”

The Jiaduobao Group had already suffered a setback from the Guangdong Medicine Group. At the beginning, the herbal tea brand Wanglaoji was not valuable, so Jiaduobao easily obtained the authorization from the Yue Medicine Group.

But when Jiaduobao made the Wonglaoji brand popular and its products were sold all over the country, the Guangdong Pharmaceutical Group instantly turned its back. It ignored the commercial contract and directly took back the Wonglaoji brand to make its own products, no matter what Jiaduobao did.

The lawsuit is useless.

Lu Yiming didn't want to make the same mistake again. Even if the authorization was written in black and white in the contract, it would be useless. The Maomao mobile phone brand must be won.

Seeing Lu Yiming's insistence, Zhong Youxiang agreed after weighing his options.

After all, Maomao TVs are still being sold to the United States. He cannot afford to offend Lu Yiming, the leader of the alliance. Of course, the most important thing is that the brand of Maomao mobile phones is not valuable. Although Lu Yiming’s insistence made Zhong Youxiang murmur, he still chose

Let’s get the current benefits first.

The most important thing is that Lu Yiming made it clear that he will not get the license, and the license is still with Maomao Electronics.

In Zhong Youxiang's view, license should be the basis of everything. Whoever holds the license has absolute dominance. Now the license belongs to Maomao Electronics. Even if Lu Yiming gets the brand of Maomao mobile phone, it should be of no use.

Isn’t it necessary to cooperate with Maomao Electronics?

But how could he have imagined that in a few years, the mobile phone license access system would be cancelled, and the value of an operational mobile phone brand would be astonishing.

It can only be said that each other's vision and knowledge are not on the same level at all.

Zhong Youxiang is still coveting a small profit, while Lu Yiming is already poaching with a hoe.

Seeing that Zhong Youxiang relented, Lu Yiming was very happy and took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Zhong Youxiang and said: "Mr. Zhong is so refreshing. Come on, let me toast you first. When we choose an auspicious day another day, we will officially sign a cooperation contract!"

Two days later, Jinling Maomao Electronics and Lu Yiming's Yixun Technology jointly established Maomao Mobile, which is responsible for the production and sales of Panda mobile phones. Lu Yiming became the chairman of Panda Mobile with 49% of the shares.

This move directly shocked the entire domestic mobile phone industry.

Although the sales of Maomao mobile phones are not good, they have a solid foundation after all, and Lu Yiming is famous for being good at marketing and creating miracles. If Maomao mobile phones really come back to life, wouldn't they have to squeeze out some of the original market share?

Foreign mobile phone brands are okay and have technological advantages, so I’m not too worried.

But domestic mobile phone brands are completely panicked. Under the calm atmosphere, there is an undercurrent.

After the founding meeting of the new company, Li Yiwen couldn't wait to ask Lu Yiming backstage: "Who are you going to let do this Maomao Mobile?"

Lu Yiming looked at Li Yiwen. Li Yiwen's face turned dark immediately: "I'm warning you, I won't do it. I want to get married and have children. I don't have time. And I don't understand this thing."

Lu Yiming had a mischievous smile on his face and said, "I didn't say anything. Why are you so nervous? Don't worry, I have already chosen the person who will be in charge of Maomao Mobile."

He took out a piece of personal information and said, "That's him."

"Who?"

Li Yiwen took the information and looked at it, and asked doubtfully: "Huang Zhang? I have never heard of this man. Is he very capable?"

At this time, Huang Zhang was still an unknown person. No one could have expected that such a dropout who was expelled from school as a freshman in high school and had never attended college would found MEIZU a year later. In Xia Guo's 3G era,

occupies a place among the various heroes.

After reading Huang Zhang's information, Li Yiwen was also a little dumbfounded: "By the way, is the person you are looking for reliable?"

According to the data, Huang Zhang's photo shows him so young.

In fact, he is indeed very young, only twenty-five years old.

When Huang Zhang was sixteen years old, his father "kicked" him out of the house because he was too obsessed with electronic appliances and asked him to start his own business. Then Huang Zhang went to Shenzhen to work alone, starting his miraculous life of grassroots counterattack.

Before entering the electronics industry that changed his life, Huang Zhang even worked in low-paying jobs, such as hard work as a dock porter. He even worked as a chef for a while and studied Cantonese cuisine.

At present, Huang Zhang is just an ordinary employee of the Lion City joint venture Aiqin Electronics. Lu Yiming actually found such a young man to take charge of Maomao Mobile?

Li Yiwen even doubted whether Lu Yiming was crazy.

"Are you sure you want a high school student who works hard in a factory to take charge of Maomao Mobile?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Don't you believe how I see people?"

Even so, Li Yiwen still felt that it was outrageous. After all, the resume of a migrant worker like Huang Zhang was too sparse and ordinary, and there was nothing special about him at all.

However, Lu Yiming knew that according to the original historical trajectory, Huang Zhang, who was just an ordinary employee of Aegean Electronics at this time, would become the general manager of the joint venture next year and own 49% of the shares of Aegean.

It can only be said that the world of genius is too outrageous in the eyes of mortals, making it difficult for people to understand.

In the conference room of Weijian International in Pengcheng, Huang Zhang, who is the special commissioner of Aegean Electronics, is discussing new plans for MP3 products with Bai Yongxiang. As a product engineer of Weijian International, Huang Zhang is extremely impressed by Bai Yongxiang's professional ability.

It can be said that we felt like old friends at first sight, and we met so late that we immediately felt the spark of passion that belongs to men in science and engineering.

Compared with Huang Zhang, a "grassroots" technician who became a monk halfway, Bai Yongxiang can be said to be from a "well-established family". He graduated from Chengdu University of Electronic Science and Technology, majoring in mechanical electronics. He was one of the 600,000 college students admitted nationwide that year. In mathematics
