Super Tycoon

Zhang Yang was leaning on the sofa, listening to music and eating fruit, when Xiao Wang knocked on the door and came in.

"President, Mr. Duan has brought someone along, saying that he has important work to report to you. But that person is not from our company, and I have never met him before."

"Call in." Zhang Yang put away the mP3.

After a while, Duan Yongping walked in with a middle-aged man. Zhang Yang raised his head and glanced, but he didn't recognize him.

"President, this is an old friend of mine who is now engaged in mobile phone research and development. They have taken a fancy to some technologies of our Zhiduoxing Group and want to buy them."

Zhang Yang froze for a moment: "You mean our company's communication technology is good enough to produce mobile phones?"

Duan Yongping had reported before that he wanted to enter the communication industry, which is also a kind of IT industry. Zhang Yang did not refuse, and gave him a large amount of research and development expenses.

No one knows better than him how fast mobile phones will develop in the future. Next year, Huaxia's pagers will withdraw from the stage of history, and all paging stations will stop.

In fact, there are fewer and fewer people using pagers now, the price of mobile phones is getting cheaper and cheaper, and the tariffs are constantly falling. If you are reluctant to make calls, why don't you buy a SMS package?

Even if it exceeds, a text message is only a dime, which is cheaper than a phone call, and can communicate more clearly, no longer needing to call a paging station.

And in fact, it doesn't matter even if the mobile phone is poorly made, the important thing is to develop some technologies. Licensing technology out can also be profitable.

What's more, in the next few years, China's mobile phone industry will flourish, and some counterfeit phones will become popular, let alone the brand of Zhiduoxing.

Of course, Zhang Yang will never let Zhiduoxing sell those poor-quality counterfeit phones, but plans to launch some unique mobile phones, develop slowly, and turn around on smart phones in the future.

In the previous life, Apple relied on the success of smartphones to become the world's top large enterprise. In fact, are Apple's mobile phones really much better than Android phones? Not necessarily.

It's just that Apple's brand management has started, positioning it as a high-end product in mobile phones, which naturally sets it apart from other mobile phones.

In addition, Apple's software is really good, and it is also well developed in terms of charging. The system is relatively smooth, and the design always leads the market.

But in this life,

Apple still wants to lead the market?

On the mP3 where Apple rose in the previous life, Apple is now a latecomer, and the classic appearance was also made by Zhiduoxing first, and Apple can only change it, and it no longer has the feeling of making people shine.

With less revenue, can Apple still have so much money to invest in product research and development? Are there so many funds invested in advertising and industrial layout?

As long as Zhang Yang is around, Apple will never reach the heights of the previous life, unless Apple is willing to sell enough shares to Zhang Yang.

The company has developed excellent communication technology, but Lao Duan didn't report it to him. Is this a surprise for him?

Duan Yongping looked at Zhang Yang with some embarrassment: "President, it is okay to produce mobile phones, but it will not be very good, which will damage our brand image. The technology we have is not good compared with foreign companies."

Zhang Yang couldn't understand now: "Since you also said that our company's technology is not good, why would he come to buy it? By the way, what's your name and what technology do you want to buy?"

"Mr. Zhang, my name is Xu Lihua. You may not have heard of my name, but you may have heard of our company. Our company is called Bird. It used to be the leader in the domestic BP machine industry, and now it is also making mobile phones."

"You are the founder of Bird?!" Zhang Yang suddenly became interested. This company was once the leader in domestic mobile phones in his previous life, but later the business direction deviated and went downhill.

But the company also owns many patented technologies, and has made a lot of money by licensing them to those copycat companies. Even if the company goes bankrupt, the founders and others will still be rich.

It's just that because of the cooperation with foreign companies, the shares were gradually controlled by foreign companies, and the brand was abolished, and later became one of the pronouns for elderly phones.

"I can't talk about the founder. It's just that everyone cooperates. The brothers value me and push me to the front of the stage. This time, I want to buy some of your company's technology."

"For example, battery-related technologies, screen display-related technologies, and I would like to ask your company to design a mobile phone appearance for us. The related costs are negotiable."

Because it is a handheld device, Zhiduoxing invested in the battery industry. Its main products are small batteries. Later, it was applied to mP3 and the effect was good. In the future, it plans to use electronic dictionaries and other products.

Moreover, the product appearance design of Zhiduoxing has always been very novel, and it is the object that many companies are vying to imitate. After Xu Lihua saw the clamshell design of Z4, he felt that with the help of Z4, they could develop in China's mobile phone industry and defeat those foreign brands of mobile phones.

At present, the industry leader in the domestic mobile phone market is Motorola, followed by Ericsson, followed by Nokia and so on. The mobile phone brands in the island country are also selling well, and the domestic ones are not ranked at all.

When everyone sees that it is made in China, they seem to think that the quality is not good. In fact, they have never tried it at all.

Bird has already planned to find a celebrity endorsement, and they have also seen the star effect. And I also plan to plan a good advertisement, which will be launched during the prime time of CCTV, and it is best to cooperate with two other time slots to bombard the advertisement.

In this way, even if you spend hundreds of millions of dollars on advertising, you can still earn back through mobile phone sales, and it doesn’t even matter if you lose money in the first year. The important thing is to let everyone recognize the brand.

Zhang Yang looked at Xu Lihua: "Did you know that our company also plans to make mobile phones? Why do you think that we will sell good technology and good ideas to your company?"

"Do you know how much the Zhiduoxing Group's annual net profit is? It is ten times higher than your company's revenue. What do you rely on to impress me?"

Zhang Yang also glanced at Duan Yongping, no, Duan Yongping has long wanted to make a mobile phone, why did he bring Xu Lihua to him? Could it be that he has other ideas?

"I know, but I chatted with Mr. Duan and felt that we can do technology exchanges. We also have many mainstream communication technologies. I dare not say that they are leading internationally, but they are definitely leading domestically."

"We exchange technologies with each other, and we can both make mobile phones. The two of us compete for the domestic market and defeat foreign mobile phone manufacturers. I think this is beneficial to both of us."

Zhang Yang looked at Duan Yongping, and found that Duan Yongping's mouth seemed to be saying four words. He watched it carefully for a long time, and finally understood.
