Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

Chen Zitong is now considered a senior fan of Honor mobile phones.

Although the family background is not particularly good, it is not bad either.

Even if I am a graduate student, my family will still provide me with 2,000 yuan per month for living expenses.

This standard is no longer low.

HONOR6 was released today, and she and a few friends went to the Honor flagship store in Teemall to queue up overnight.

One of her friends even brought a camping tent.

Although the open space in front of Tianhe City is quite wide, and there are store employees helping to maintain order, as the number of people queuing increases, the traffic in the nearby area begins to be affected.

There are always traffic jams around Tianhe City, and it goes without saying that it will become even more difficult starting tonight.

The most exaggerated thing is that the next morning, a new batch of people queuing up to buy also joined in.

After all, the doors open at nine o'clock, so many people might not be that enthusiastic if they come a day early.

But if you queue up two or three hours in advance, it won't be a big problem.

It’s nothing more than getting up earlier in the morning.

As more and more people queued up, the square could no longer accommodate so many people.

Some people started queuing directly onto the sidewalk or even the highway.

This caused several major roads that would have been jammed during the morning rush hour to become completely blocked.

Many people who work nearby are cursing because they are late for work!

Some people were still stuck there motionless even at 9 o'clock in the morning.

However, this also made Honor mobile phones completely famous.

Since last night, many media have been reporting various news about Honor mobile phones.

The content lined up outside the flagship store is not the focus of everyone's attention. After all, the things at the press conference are enough to keep everyone busy.

However, early this morning, large-scale queues appeared in several major cities, resulting in heavy traffic jams. The heat was completely different.

There is even content about this on Weibo hot searches.

As a member of the queue, Chen Zitong finally grabbed his favorite mobile phone at 9:30.

"Beautiful girl, I'll give you an extra 500 yuan and sell me this phone!"

As soon as Chen Zitong came out of the flagship store, someone came over to collect her mobile phone.

Apparently, scalpers have also started to take action.

Even though Honor Technology has prepared a lot of production capacity, many scalpers still want to take a gamble.

However, Chen Zitong is not that short of money, and he will definitely not resell the mobile phone he has worked so hard to queue up for just 500 yuan.

But not everyone is in the same situation as Chen Zitong. Some smarter college students also see the business opportunities inside and come to line up just to make a fortune from scalpers.

So soon some people sold the mobile phones they queued up to buy to scalpers.

The price increase of a mobile phone is 500 to 1,000 yuan. For college students, it is well worth it even if they start queuing last night.

"Yuxuan, your group is about to launch a new product. The price of Honor mobile phones has increased, but there are still so many people rushing to buy it."

"I think your year-end bonus this year is going to hit a record again."

After squeezing through the crowded crowd and getting on the subway back to school, Chen Zitong couldn't wait to call his best friend Li Yuxuan.

"I also saw the news. I didn't expect so many people to rush to buy. It is indeed a bit surprising."

"Zitong, you're not going to rob it too, are you?"

She is quite familiar with the hobbies of her best friend.

That's why I asked.

"I have to go. I went last night."

"I originally wanted to send you a few photos of the queue, but I didn't want you to think I was crazy again, so I didn't."

"But there are really a lot of people. I guess there are so many SIRs nearby that they will be very busy, for fear of any accidents."

Thinking of the congestion scene this morning, Chen Zitong felt inexplicably frightened.

If something unexpected happens, anything can happen.

At that time, I won't be able to have a serious phone call with my best friend here.

"I heard that BYD has prepared sufficient production capacity for us, so you don't really need to rush to buy it."

"Even if you don't buy it this month, you will definitely be able to buy it next month."

Although Li Yuxuan is an employee of Yangcheng Zhongwang, she is still more concerned about the group's star companies.

Besides, she herself was actually considering whether to buy a new mobile phone.

It's just that she's not as crazy as Chen Zitong.

"That's different. What many people want is to use the latest Honor phone earlier than others. If they wait a month, it will be completely different."

The two chatted there for more than ten minutes. Li Yuxuan had to go to a meeting before hanging up the phone.

In the industry, various discussions after Honor Technology’s press conference yesterday are still ongoing.

There are many people who care about the performance of Honor Technology.

"Mr. Cao, I didn't expect that Honor Technology could combine mobile phones with satellite calls and make full use of the resources of our Starlink satellite system for technological development."

"This idea is really great, and it also gives our Starlink satellite system a broader prospect."

As the boss of Geely Automobile, Li Su actually didn't pay too much attention to Honor Technology's new product launch yesterday.

After all, one is in the automotive industry and the other is in the consumer electronics industry. We are not from the same circle.

However, now there are all kinds of news related to Honor technology, and Li Su naturally knows about it.

Especially after he learned that the satellite call function of Honor mobile phone was cooperated with Daystar Technology, he couldn't help but call Cao Yang to communicate.

Until now, although Venus Technology’s Starlink satellite system is well-known, it is still far from being profitable.

Every week, at least one Venus 9 satellite is launched into space. These are all costs.

There is absolutely no way to cover various launch costs and operating costs by relying solely on the use of the previous Starlink vehicle-machine system.

Now that a mobile phone has a satellite phone function, the situation has been greatly improved.

Although there is still no hope of profit, at least the road is getting wider.

In Li Su's view, this change alone can increase the valuation of the Starlink satellite system by billions or even more.

After all, the number of mobile phone owners is different from that of cars.

Although only Honor Technology's flagship phones currently have satellite calling functions, Li Su believes that within two years, all mobile phone manufacturers will consider adding satellite calling functions to their flagship phones.

By then, there will be many more occasions where the Starlink satellite system needs to be used.

"After our Starlink satellite system is completed, it is ready to become the core communication equipment on the 5G network."

"The current satellite call is just an attempt. In the future, most of the 5G will probably use satellite communications directly."

"At that time, the Starlink satellite system will definitely have a huge impact on everyone."

Cao Yang attaches great importance to the Starlink satellite system, which is one of the basic plans for Venus Technology to move towards the sea of ​​stars.

As long as this thing is done well, it will actually be very helpful for the next step into the moon and Mars.

"Really, if you do this well, you can accumulate a lot of relevant experience."

"On the one hand, it is to find a monetization solution for the Starlink satellite system, and on the other hand, it is to test the development of future 5G projects."

"This kind of combination punch can only be played successfully among various companies in the Nanshan Group."

Li Su is now more and more impressed by the corporate layout of the Nanshan Group.

All kinds of things that seem to be wild and imaginative can eventually be connected in series to produce explosive effects.

This is absolutely amazing.

If the Starlink satellite system can really take advantage of the 5G pie in the future, profit will no longer be a dream.

After all, even if hundreds of billions of yuan are invested, the cost will eventually be recovered quickly in the 5G era.

Of course, the major operators will definitely not give up the initiative, and it is expected that the base station and Starlink satellite system will be used simultaneously.

Even so, in the end Venus Technology will be able to obtain very generous benefits.

This point has actually been slowly realized by some people.

For example, Warwick has figured out that if they want to improve their satellite communication function, the best way is to cooperate with Daystar and come to communicate directly without any hesitation.

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Otherwise, we keep guessing and wonder when things will be settled.

"Mr. Cao, Mr. Xia, judging from the current communication with us from Warwick, they have a very strong desire to integrate satellite calling functions into next year's new mobile phones."

"Although they can't have a better solution other than our Starlink satellite system, they don't have no options at all."

"It depends on how we think about this issue."

After Zhao Siyu communicated with Warwick, he would definitely not give a direct answer.

He wanted to communicate with Cao Yang and Honor Technology first, and then see how to reply to them.

Otherwise, there may be conflicts between different companies within the group.

Now he directly invites Cao Yang and Xia Qingqing for a meeting, which is equivalent to throwing out the problem directly.

"For most consumers, the satellite calling function is just a gimmick, and in fact, there is a high probability that they will not use it."

"So as long as there is this gimmick, many consumers will buy it."

"As for whether the satellite calling function is actually useful, many consumers may not care that much."

"Just like the navigation on a car, when some consumers buy a car, they care whether the car they want to buy has it or not."

"As long as you have it, that's fine. How it performs may not be considered that much when buying a car."

"Nowadays, on mobile phones, it is actually similar."

"So we at Honor Technology have no objection to Daystar Technology cooperating with Huawei or even other mobile phone manufacturers to provide them with satellite call functions."

Xia Qingqing knew very well what Zhao Siyu meant behind bringing her and Cao Yang over to listen to the report.

Fortunately, she sees the problem relatively clearly.

This matter is definitely not a good thing for Honor Technology, but it is not too bad.

Venus Technology holds a very high position in Cao Yang's heart, and the Starlink satellite system is also considered the group's flagship project.

If her opposition affects the development of Daystar Technology, many people may jump out and accuse her.

So after listening to Zhao Siyu's introduction, she immediately expressed her views clearly.

This also made Zhao Siyu breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, from Zhao Siyu's perspective, the more customers the Starlink satellite system has, the better.

In this way, we can obtain maximum cash flow support for the Starlink satellite system and solidify the foundation for future development.

"Warwick can think of adding satellite calling functions to its flagship mobile phone, and other manufacturers are probably not slow in their actions."

"Instead of Venus Technology's Starlink satellite system, they can also cooperate with aerospace technology and other companies to launch other satellite call solutions."

"So I also feel that I can boldly cooperate with them."

"However, the price of cooperation is definitely different from cooperation within the group."

Xia Qingqing has expressed her stance, and Cao Yang himself supports cooperation, so naturally there is no need to be so entangled at this time.

Hurry up and use the Starlink satellite system, otherwise there will be more than a hundred launches this year, which will directly increase the number of thousands of satellites, which means that the construction cost of the Starlink satellite system is also rising.

If there is no income all the time, there must be some pressure.

Even if Honor Technology and Nanshan Automobile Group can provide sufficient profit support in a short period of time, they are not just there to burn money.

This approach, which is completely inconsistent with the laws of economic development, must be corrected as much as possible.

We can't let everyone think that the Starlink satellite system is a toy of Cao Yang's, purely due to personal preferences.

That will definitely affect the valuation of the Starlink satellite system.

"Anyway, it's only used on their flagship phones, so it's normal that the cost of cooperation is higher."

"And if they find other solutions, the cost cannot be very low."

After hearing Cao Yang's words, Xia Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the other party's cost is higher than your own, there is no need to worry too much.

"Then I will contact Warwick later and arrange for someone to handle this project."

Zhao Siyu didn't dwell on it anymore and quickly implemented the matter.

However, not every company moves as fast as Warwick.

For example, Lenovo mobile phones are more entangled at this time.

"Mr. Yang, I think the positioning of Honor mobile phones is different from ours. If they want to fiddle with the satellite call function, let them fiddle with it."

"Now we need to pay more attention to the actions of Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO and other companies."

"Their mobile phones are our most direct competitors."

Zhang Rongji has been under a lot of pressure recently.

The performance of Lenovo's mobile phones is far below expectations, especially after the acquisition of Motorola. In addition to the initial sales increase, it has now fallen rapidly.

Whether it is a Lenovo mobile phone or a Motorola mobile phone, it gives people the impression of a traditional feature phone.

This is very important.

In the past two years, Honor Technology has also been focusing on the operator's contract phone market, which has further squeezed the Lenovo mobile phone market.

It can be said that whether Lenovo mobile phones can still persist is already a question.

As the person in charge of Lenovo's mobile phone sales business, Zhang Rongji is naturally more cautious in doing things.

If you invest indiscriminately, you will take the blame when the time comes.

"If only HONOR6 and 6PLUS have satellite calling functions, then there is nothing to worry about."

"But in the next step, if other mobile phone manufacturers also launch satellite calling functions on their flagship products, making satellite calling a standard feature of flagship mobile phones, how will we respond?"

Yang Erqing is also very worried now.

Compared with Zhang Rongji who is concerned about the performance of Honor mobile phones, Yang Erqing is actually more worried about the situation of Honor computers.

Although Honor Computer is only in the notebook business and does not have desktop computers, its operating system is the same as Honor mobile phones and is developed by itself.

This is definitely a plus for relevant departments.

In the past, most of the orders from relevant departments came from Lenovo.

Things have started to change in the past two years.

Even though the price of Honor computers is relatively high, some departments have begun to adopt them.

Of course, this price is high compared to the sales price on the market.

In fact, when Lenovo's computers go through purchase orders from relevant departments, the prices are not low at all.

“The most critical part of the satellite call function of Honor mobile phones is the Starlink satellite system of Venus Technology.”

"Our company's mobile phone business is not only relatively large in China, but also has a great influence in the United States."

"Venus Technology is not the only company in the world that makes Starlink satellite systems. Space Exploration Technology Company's Starlink satellite system is also developing very fast."

"At their current pace, several Falcon 9 rockets are sending Starlink satellites into space every month."

"So by next year, I think it will definitely be put into preliminary use."

"We are now starting to develop the satellite call function for mobile phones. Basically, it will not be available until next year's model, just in time to meet the schedule of the Space Exploration Technology Company."

Zhang Rongji knew that it was impossible for the company to cooperate with Daystar Technology.

Everyone’s tooth marks are quite deep.

And Lenovo needs to consider the needs of the American market. If it cooperates with Daystar Technology, it will definitely not be used in the American market.

In this case, it would be better to cooperate with Space Exploration Technology Company and launch the first smartphone equipped with satellite calling function in the American market.

Maybe it will bring unexpected surprises to Lenovo's mobile phone business.

"This is indeed something that can be considered. The board of directors should be very interested in this plan."

"You should contact the R\u0026D department and come up with a feasible plan as soon as possible, and then report it within the company."

Yang Erqing thought for a while and felt that Zhang Rongji's proposal still made sense.

The world does not revolve around Venus Technology. Without each other, Lenovo would not be able to eat pigs with hair on them.

In China, it is probably difficult to surpass Honor mobile phones.

But in the United States, the situation is completely different.

Yang Erqing feels that as long as he does well, it is worth looking forward to becoming the second largest player in the industry in the American market.

As for competing with the industry leader Apple, he didn't think too much about it.

After all, he can see reality clearly.

…

"Diles, I think you can study the cooperation methods between Honor Technology and Daystar Technology in China. It should be of great reference value."

Although Musko does not produce mobile phones, it is still very concerned about the corporate developments in the Nanshan Group.

After all, his two core businesses have the strongest competitive relationship with Nanshan Group companies.

However, when companies in the Nanshan Group do things, they often bring together the brother companies in the group to take advantage of the fact that one plus one is greater than two.

So he directly arranged for a special person to follow up and investigate every move of the Nanshan Group enterprises, and then form a piece of information for him to review every day.

Honor Technology's new mobile phone made such a big noise, and Masco naturally received relevant reports very quickly.

So even before Lenovo found Space Exploration Technology Company to discuss technical cooperation, he was already aware of this possibility.

"I am also studying this matter, combining the Starlink satellite system with the satellite call function of mobile phones. I have to say that this innovation of the other party is quite remarkable."

"Prior to this, no mobile phone manufacturer produced mobile phones with satellite calling functions."

Diers is naturally not a loser.

Space Exploration Technology's biggest competitor has already made such a big move, and he must have known about it.

He is even preparing to communicate with Apple and other mobile phone companies to see if they are interested in developing satellite calling functions together.

The Chinese side has already made the templates, so everyone just needs to copy the homework.

"This matter needs to be taken action as soon as possible. I think the impact will be very large."

"Especially when it comes to integrating with 5G communications in the future, we must act as soon as possible, otherwise we will be overtaken by Daystar Technology again."

Musko's sense of crisis is also relatively strong.

At this time, he is far from as prosperous as he was in his previous life in 2024, and his influence is not as great.

But in terms of personal ability and vision, there is definitely nothing to question.

Not to mention that the development direction of the Space Exploration Technology Company is closely related to his personal dream. Even from an economic perspective, he feels that this matter must be started as soon as possible.

In any country, the communications industry is very profitable, especially if it has a certain monopoly position, it is even more profitable.

As long as the Space Exploration Technology Company's Starlink satellite system can be bound to 5G communications, then as long as a part of the profits goes into Musko's pocket, it is very worth looking forward to.

Maybe he can challenge the position of the richest man in the United States in the future.

"I have sorted out the preliminary technical framework in the past few days, and then communicated with potential customers."

"I believe that with the pressure from Honor Technology ahead, both Apple and Samsung should be interested."

Diers didn't hesitate and took action immediately.

The entire mobile phone industry has been completely shaken because of Honor Technology's new product launch.
