Chapter 386 Mobile phone war
"Do you think these young people will understand this?"
Looking at Liu Chang who was talking, Zhang Lei turned around and asked the person in charge of the employment center next to him. They knew each other and often dealt with each other.
"You don't need to understand it all. Just have one or two people who can figure it out. Not everyone is a genius, but not everyone is a fool. Their young people have more active ideas. If someone gives advice, the results will be different."
The person in charge of the Employment Center is Lu Xiaoyang. He has been transferred from other places to the headquarters for a while. He and Liu Chang were together very early, and he followed Liu Chang almost not long after Liu Chang started his business. He knew Liu Chang more deeply than Zhang Lei.
So this is also the reason why he asked Liu Chang to come and take a look. He hoped that Liu Chang could give these young people a direction. He also hoped that among these young people, a person who could serve as a benchmark would appear in a certain period of time in the future, which would be enough.
"Yes, it's enough for someone to walk a different path. At that time, it will be very good news for the entire industrial park."
Zhang Lei agrees with Lu Xiaoyang's words very much. If such a person can be produced, their Xiangnan funds will definitely be added at that time. It depends on how well these people are aware of.
Zhang Lei could understand Liu Chang's words, but now he likes the job he does and the business he starts, so let's leave it to others to operate.
Liu Chang's speech at the incubation base was limited to this place, and it did not spread out and did not have any impact on the outside. He did not have the intention to give people chicken soup casually. This speech was only aimed at these people in the entrepreneurial park.
In fact, things like pouring chicken soup are all for purpose. Some people want to make money by selling books themselves, while others just want others to use them, so just listen to those things.
After Liu Chang left the incubation base, on the other side, with the entry of new mobile phones from the two companies into the market, a major storm broke out in China.
The annual mobile phone battle is very fierce. You should know that since 2002, the price of mobile phones has been changing constantly, and the price has dropped, but it is not as fierce as this year.
First, Transsion phones emerged from the sky, taking the route of surrounding cities in the countryside. They are cheap, durable, and have complete functions. They are specially equipped with elderly models, camera MP3 models, etc.
As soon as the products of this mobile phone company came out, it was the first to set off a bloody storm in the domestic mobile phone market, in conjunction with overwhelming advertising.
Then there was Warwick. Lao Renjian took a different approach. He had a relationship with Mobile and directly launched a phone bill to charge the phone and gave it to the phone. It didn't take much effort to make a new way out.
This is not the point, the key point is that both of these companies’ mobile phones are super cheap, and other companies cannot compete for cheap ones, but the performance is good and there are many functions.
What are the dual-slot dual-standby? Extra long standby, it is very good at taking photos and music, and it even supports video playback. As soon as such a mobile phone comes out, it immediately attracts most of its attention.
"MMP! Are these two companies crazy? How can their phones be sold so cheaply? Their functions are much better than us, and the cost of optical chips is a lot of money. How can they sell them cheaper than we are now?"
Foreign mobile phone companies did not react so quickly, and the first one to suffer was domestic mobile phones. They basically did not have their own technology, that is, they bought other people's accessories to assemble mobile phones. Those chips alone were a lot of money.
In particular, the mobile phones of Warwick and Transsion have much more functions than theirs, and these functions require related accessories to support them, which makes the cost even higher.
Including labor costs, a mobile phone cannot sell the price of Transsion and Warwick mobile phones. These two companies are just here to make trouble, so can others survive?
Not to mention that they can't do it, even the counterfeit companies in Huaqiangbei cannot do it so cheap, reliable in quality, and complete functions. How can other mobile phones be sold?
Liu Chang and Lao Ren did not express much about the reaction to this market. Their biggest idea now is to quickly produce and produce enough mobile phones to sell.
The initial test was very good, and the effects of various soft articles and advertisements made both of their mobile phones start to get hot. It was time to seize this wave of phones to expand their influence and earn a lot of money.
On the chip production side, it is now starting construction in three shifts a day. Despite this, the chips they produce are still difficult to meet the needs of Transsion and Warwick, which is roughly a bit of a problem for them.
Actually, this is pretty good. You should know that if it weren't for Liu Chang's rebirth, Lao Zhang's SMIC would have almost gone away at this time, so it would be quite content to be able to achieve the current result without Liu Chang.
"It seems that we have to spend more time on production processes and productivity. Now it will be difficult to supply the quantity of your two companies alone. In the future, it will probably be more troublesome to supply more manufacturers."
When Transsion and Warwick mobile phones began to seize the market, Liu Chang had already returned to his hometown, and Lao Ni was also here during this period.
He came to see the chip production situation, and the benefits of the chip production process after the latest process equipment came, he needed to pay attention to this.
Old Ni was also very happy to see that Liu Chang and his friends suddenly became popular. They have been working on chips for many years, and they have been holding on for so long. Now it is time to reap the benefits.
However, they cannot compare their production output with those large foreign companies. The gap between the two is very big. After all, they have not started for a long time. For this problem, they can only rely on slowly exploring and accumulating.
"You said, if we get bigger, will someone come over and have the advantage of it?"
After looking at Old Ni, Liu Chang asked with some concern.
This kind of thing is very common in the country, and there are probably not many people who come here to benefit.
Some second-generation and some large enterprises with national names all have a very ugly appearance. They don’t know how to develop their own technology, but just want to pick up ready-made cheaps to get benefits.
However, these technologies are something that Liu Chang and others spent a lot of money and time to develop. If they were taken over by some people for nothing, Liu Chang would have the intention to overturn the table.
"There will definitely be people with this idea, but they want to get benefits from here, but it is not that easy to get. Lao Ren is not that easy to talk to, and you and Lao Zhang are not that easy to talk to. Can they please?"
After looking at Liu Chang, Old Ni replied with a smile. He is a person within the system and is difficult to talk to, but he can push everything to the other three people, so these three people will be easy to talk to.
Liu Chang may not have much confidence, but it doesn’t matter. Lao Ren and Lao Zhang are there. Lao Zhang comes forward, and there are tens of thousands of people alone. Now the leader has to accept Lao Zhang’s goodness. How can he allow others to pry Lao Zhang’s corner?
The same is true for Lao Ren. Although Lao Ren is not showing off, he still has many tricks, otherwise Warwick would not have developed so smoothly in his previous life.
"I hope our computer chips can be launched as soon as possible that things comparable to international mainstream technologies can be released, so that we can truly breathe a sigh of relief."
Mobile phone chips, for Lao Ni, actually, can't prove anything, because his pain is not here. Especially after the US Conscience acquired IBM last year, it was already at its peak, and some things have become his heart disease.
Now in mainstream reports, there are articles bragging about the company everywhere, and it is particularly emphasized that after the acquisition of IBM, the company has been promoted to the ranks of international advanced companies.
Among the top 500 people in the world, the national computer high-tech company, various titles are added together. Many people will probably joke about Lao Ni's overestimation in their hearts when they see Lao Ni's overestimation at the time.
Lao Ni's computer chip research is still in the stage of exploration and discussion. There is not enough new technology, not enough old technology, and it is impossible to form competitiveness.
Over the years, Liu Chang and the others have spent a lot of money in it. Starting from the lowest-end technology, buying technology, talents, and spending much effort. It has not yet come out with a perfect result. He is really anxious.
"Haha, if the mobile phone chip is made, the computer chip will not be too far away. As long as we continue along this path steadily, success will only be a matter of time. And that company is now just continuing to move from the road to decline."
Liu Chang could easily guess what Lao Ni was thinking. After all, he and Lao Ren brought him over because of this matter. Otherwise, it would not be his turn to sit with Lao Ni and brag and chat.
It wasn't the case that happened back then. It was probably that Lao Ni was still staying in that company at this time, bringing people to attack his chips in a brand new way. Now Lao Ni has been driven out, which has helped Liu Chang and the others.
As for the company that called Lao Ni's heart disease, Liu Chang actually didn't take it much. As a veteran, no one knows the situation of that company better than Liu Chang. What he said is true.
Many people only see superficial phenomena, thinking that after acquiring IBM, it will become a new starting point for the company's development. But what disappoints everyone is that after acquiring IBM, it will become the beginning of the company's downward trend.
Moreover, he was getting softer and weaker on the way to kneel down. For his own performance, he knelt down and even secretly imprisoned himself.
"Oh, why do you think this way? You should know that IBM still has a lot of technologies. If it can be converted into its own technology, it can still make a great improvement."
Old Ni was a little curious. Liu Chang was not comforting himself. Now the whole country is praising that company, why doesn’t Liu Chang think so?
"Do you think IBM will be that stupid? Transfer all its core technologies? And the IBM business they acquired is also limited. It is just the personal PC business that others don't want, and some server series."
"And the personal PC is basically the least technical thing. What can they do if they acquire it? As the threshold for personal computers becomes lower and lower, the profits in this area will only become worse and worse, so it is normal for them to decline from prosperity."
In fact, that company not only does personal computers, but also does mobile phones, and like Liu Chang, it has a mobile phone production license.
However, just like they have always started to trade and industry, they still have no intention of developing their own technology, but just like others, just to come in and make money.
So their mobile phones eventually became a failed brand. Later, they also entered the smartphone field, but they still did not take their own technology and routes. Later, this company has become an old company with little noise.
Although the lean camel is bigger than a horse and there is still a possibility of turning over in the future, at least for a long time, the company can only survive under the light of Warwick.
The most tricky thing is probably that they were unhappy when they saw Warwick becoming bigger, and then secretly voted for someone else and was stabbed out. From then on, this brand has become the target of other people's targets and the stepping stone for Warwick.
These things are things that will happen in the future, but now there is no one. The company is in its prime now, and Warwick is still developing silently.
If Liu Chang hadn't promoted their patriotic sentiment, many people might not know what kind of company this company was at this time.
"Are you not optimistic about personal computers?"
After hearing Liu Chang's words, Old Ni asked curiously. Liu Chang is not optimistic about personal computers, so why do you still spend time developing personal computer chips?
"It's not that you are not optimistic about personal computers, but that you are not optimistic about personal computer business. Because the threshold for this part is too low, so low that you can assemble a computer yourself as long as you have accessories, and the price is still cheap. Do you think this will have how much room for a personal computer to survive?"
"Which chips are different, whether it is a brand or an assembly machine, chips are indispensable, so these things are the future trends and technology is the real capital."
Liu Chang smiled and told Lao Ni, and then the two of them did not continue to talk about this issue in depth. They just walked slowly to see who could win in the end.
But what Liu Chang couldn't imagine was that they had no idea of causing trouble, but others had never thought of letting them go. As Transsion and Warwick's mobile phones occupied more markets and received more attention, they became nails in the eyes of others.
The first news came from the Internet, saying that the mobile phone chips of these two companies were produced by chips that were eliminated from unknown places. There was no quality assurance and no certification, which was particularly harmful to the human body, etc.
In addition, these articles also advocate foreign chips, and then give a good hand in foreign chip companies. Which chip does several famous domestic mobile phone companies use, and various examples.
