Chapter 189 Ambition: To Open A New Era Of Smartphones
Not only Alvin Jacob was horrified by Lu Yi's outrageous gambling conditions, but Liu Hong and Lin Qingya were also shocked.
Although the conditions proposed by Alvin Jacob were very harsh before, the gambling conditions proposed by Lu Yi now look like they are actively giving more benefits to Gaotong Company.
They knew that Lu Yi wanted to make some achievements in the ICT industry and create some tricks.
but!
The annual sales of mobile phones exceed 2 million units, which they really don't dare to think about.
Liu Hong has recently gained relevant knowledge. He is very clear about the current situation of the international and domestic mobile phone markets.
Nokia, Ericsson, and Motorola are the troika that do their part.
Behind them are well-known international brands such as Sanxing, LG, Siemens, Alcatel, Soni, and Philips.
The domestic mobile phone market is also dominated by foreign brands.
Although domestic mobile phone brands such as Bird, Amoi, and TCL are struggling to catch up, due to technical shortcomings, they were only a flash in the pan last year.
If Blue Star Electronics wants to make mobile phones, it will not only have to compete with major international manufacturers, but also face the pursuit and interception of domestic mobile phone manufacturers.
The plate is so big that there are too many people eating and there is not enough to share.
He really couldn't figure out how Lu Yi had the confidence to enable Blue Star Electronics to ship more than 2 million mobile phones a year.
Thinking of this, Liu Hong felt that he couldn't just sit here and watch, he had to speak up to persuade Lu Yi.
"Fourth, don't be impulsive!" Liu Hong said.
However, Lu Yi ignored Liu Hong at all, just looked at Alvin Jacob and said with a smile: "Mr. Jacob, how about it? Do you dare to take a gamble with me?"
"Okay! Let me make a bet with Mr. Lu!"
Alvin Jacob thought for a moment and then directly agreed.
Business betting is all about heartbeat.
It is simply unbelievable that Lu Yi proposed such an outrageous gambling agreement.
This shows that Lu Yi has absolute confidence in its products.
Alvin Jacob doesn't know where this confidence comes from, but he knows one thing very well. Blue Star Electronics has no technology accumulation and is a new player that has rushed into the mobile phone market. How can it compete with Noma, Ericsson and others? A top international manufacturer that has been involved in the industry for more than ten or twenty years competes in the competition?
Totally impossible!
No matter from which perspective, it is absolutely impossible for Blue Star Electronics to achieve shipments of more than one million units.
Under the premise of a gambling agreement, the subsequent patent licensing fees and the unit price of Gaotong baseband chips can be easily negotiated.
Under Lu Yi's verbal struggle, Gaotong agreed to Lu Yi's proposed annual patent licensing fee of 30 million meters of gold for one Gaotong baseband chip of 50 meters of gold.
After all matters were settled, the two parties signed the agreement that day.
Originally, according to the normal process, it would take at least a week to complete.
But Alvin Jacob was afraid that Lu Yi would regret it, so he couldn't wait to ask the company's legal department to draft the agreement that day. Various procedures were also simplified, and he signed the agreement directly that night, so that he would not be afraid of Lu Yi's regret.
In Alvin Jacob's view, Lu Yi's proposal for this gambling agreement was entirely out of a sudden enthusiasm. When the enthusiasm cools down, he may regret it.
Now that the agreement has been signed, it is useless for Lu Yi to go back on his word.
In a hotel.
Liu Hong and Lin Qingya came to Lu Yi's room.
The two of them really couldn't figure out why Lu Yi proposed such an outrageous gambling agreement.
"Why, I can't figure it out, you think of me?"
Lu Yi opened the door and invited the two people into the room. Seeing their expressions, he guessed their purpose.
Lin Qingya sighed helplessly: "I think everyone in Gao Tong's company must be crazy with joy now, and most of them are laughing in their hearts, how can there be such stupid people in the world.
"I'm not laughing in my heart. When I left tonight, I saw that old man Jacob's mouth was already crooked in his smile." Liu Hong said angrily.
Lu Yi shook the red wine glass and said leisurely: "Laugh, laugh, laugh to your heart's content, the one who laughs last is the real winner.
Liu Hongdao: "No. 4, tell us, are you really sure that our annual product shipments will reach 2 million units?"
Lu Yi glanced at Liu Hong and said, "You don't think I'm so crazy that I proposed such an outrageous gambling agreement, do you?"
"Is not it?"
Lin Qingya is not used to Lu Yi at all.
"I'm not stupid!"
Lu Yi rolled his eyes at Lin Qingya angrily.
How to speak?
Do you still act like a subordinate?
"Since I dare to propose this bet, I am absolutely sure that our product shipments will reach more than 2 million units. Have you ever seen me make a loss-making business?"
0......Please give me flowers......
"Fourth child, you have never made a loss-making business before [but this time it is not necessarily the case."
"The mobile phone industry is very deep. There are international brands such as Nokia, Ericsson, and Sanxing, and domestic brands such as Bird and Amoi. We simply don't have the strength to compete with these established manufacturers for the cake."
“You would never think that users would buy our products just because of Blue Star Electronics’ brand name!”
Liu Hong frowned and said with a bitter look on his face.
Lu Yi said: "Do you two think I will make a low-end functional phone with a plastic shell?"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Qingya and both of them were stunned.
0.............
"Is not it?"
"My eye sockets are not that shallow, and the purpose of Blue Star Electronics is not to make low-end feature phones."
"My ambition is very big."
"What we want to do is make smartphones, and our first smartphone from Blue Star Electronics has repeatedly opened a new era of smartphones."
Lu Yi said confidently.
If, as a reborn person, he cannot make his own products redefine smartphones, then he is really in vain.
As for the shipment of 2 million units, this is not a problem at all in Lu Yi’s opinion.
This gambling agreement was just a trap he dug for Gaotong Company.
When Blue Star Electronics' first smartphone comes on the market, as brightly as Gaotong Company smiles, it will cry miserably at that time.
"Making a smartphone?"
"Are we going to start a new era of smartphones?"
Liu Hong and Lin Qingya felt that Lu Yi was really too free.
How dare he think that!
But thinking about Lu Yi's previous deeds, it seems... it's not impossible.
Although feature phones are very popular at this stage, smart phones have begun to emerge.
If they can really make a product that opens a new era of smartphones, it is not impossible to ship 2 million units a year!
Although they were still a little worried, at least Lu Yi's words gave them a shot in the arm.
Lu Yi came up with this gambling agreement, and he really didn't come up with it on a whim. .
