Chapter 368 Wang Chuanfu: Is This A Mobile Phone?
BYAT headquarters.
In the VIP room.
When we met for the first time, naturally a few words of greetings and compliments were indispensable.
It's nothing more than praising Lu Yi for being young, promising and formidable.
Of course.
Such an opening statement almost made Lu Yi's ears tingle.
But there is no way, this is a necessary process for domestic interpersonal relationships.
Wang Chuanfu is not flattering, but telling the truth.
Who wouldn't say "Young and promising" when meeting Lu Yi?
Have you ever seen the world's richest man who is only 24 or 25 years old?
Even saying that he is young and promising is not enough to describe what Lu Yi has achieved.
"Mr. Wang, I heard that there has been a lot of trouble between your company and Futukang recently. The lawsuits are fierce, one after another." Lu Yi said with a smile.
In fact, BYAT's mobile phone OEM business has become well-known only in the past two or three months. It originated from a lawsuit with Futukang.
On May 4 this year, Futukang's network inspection system detected that Wang Wei and other Futukang employees sent a large number of system files to BYD, and the company immediately called the police.
Subsequently, Futukang requested the Pengcheng Intermediate People's Court to take evidence preservation measures. The court seized and copied the contents of the computer hard drives of BYAT's employees Liu Xiangjun and Si Shaoqing at BYAT's office.
Evidence shows that the hard drive contains a Word file with the header "Futukang" and the signature of the relevant person in charge of Foxconn.
As soon as the news came out, it also aroused heated discussion in the country.
At this stage, the global mobile phone OEM industry is dominated by Futukang and Flextronics.
No one expected that BYAT, which was engaged in batteries and aggressively acquired automobile companies, would quietly make a name for itself in the field of mobile phone OEM.
Hearing what Lu Yi said, Wang Chuanfu looked slightly embarrassed.
After all, stealing trade secrets is indeed a shameful thing.
With a slight cough, Wang Chuanfu said calmly: "Hey, it's not because I have hired many key technical personnel from Futukang, established a mature mobile phone OEM model, and snatched orders from some of Futukang's big customers, allowing Futukang to Tukang felt the pressure, so it found a reason to accuse us of unfair competition. Director Lu, please tell me, am I wronged? This is obviously normal business competition, and Tukang obviously can't afford it."
Hearing this, Lu Yi's eyes twitched, feeling that Wang Chuanfu was very thick-skinned.
It was obviously his side that stole the trade secrets (ccfi), but now it has become a normal business competition.
Ahem.
If the person who stole the secrets was Fu Tukang, well, Lu Yi gave Mr. Wang a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Yi didn't care about this and said, "Mr. Wang, I'm here on behalf of Blue Star Electronics this time. I want to cooperate with Mr. Wang."
"We have recently researched many OEM companies and feel that BYAT has done a very good job in this regard. Our company plans to hand over the order to BYAT for OEM.
"Of course, this needs to be kept confidential. No information about our products should be disclosed to the outside world before the products are released. 17
"At the same time, the quality and standard of the OEM must be high, and the price should naturally be cheaper."
Regarding the cooperation proposed by Lu Yi, Wang Chuanfu was not surprised at all. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu. Although BYD entered the mobile phone OEM business behind Futukang and Flextronics, its strength is not much inferior to them." .17
"We have received many orders from major international manufacturers such as Nokia, Motorola, and Soni. We have rich OEM experience and there will never be any quality problems."
Lu Yi nodded, but his expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Of course we understand BYD's OEM capabilities, otherwise we would not choose to cooperate with BYD. But Mr. Wang, our Blue Star Electronics The mobile phone is different from the mobile phone products that BYD has OEMed in the past.”
"oh?"
These words made Wang Chuanfu look confused.
no the same?
What's different?
Are the mobile phones of your Blue Star Electronics better than those of major international manufacturers such as Nokia and Motorola?
But even so, so what?
It's just the same.
Seemingly seeing through Wang Chuanfu's inner thoughts, Lu Tai nodded to Zhao Tang, who was carrying a black safe next to him.
Zhao Tang used to be Lu Yi's assistant at Future Group and had excellent work ability. Later, Lu Yi fired him from Future Group and became the vice president of Blue Star Electronics, considered Liu Hong's right-hand man.
Zhao Tang immediately opened the suitcase and took out an electronic device from inside.
"Mr. Wang, this is the first-generation smartphone product that our Blue Star Electronics is about to release. It was specially brought out from the laboratory. Take a look."
Lu Yi handed the pinnacle generation prototype to Wang Chuanfu and briefly taught how to use it.
Looking at this smartphone, Zhu Chuanfu was immediately shocked.
He stared at Lu Yi as if to say, is this a mobile phone?
you sure?
What about mobile phone keyboards?
Such a big glass screen?
Obviously.
The peak generation prototype completely shocked Wang Chuanfu.
Four words came to his mind - is this a mobile phone?
"Director Lu, are you sure this is a mobile phone and not a micro...computer?" Wang Chuanfu swallowed and said.
Can a mobile phone still be made like this?
This simply subverted his understanding of mobile phones!
Lu Yi smiled and nodded: "This is indeed a mobile phone. Of course, it can also be regarded as a microcomputer. It has a mobile operating system independently developed by Blue Star Electronics. It can install various software applications, access the Internet quickly, etc."
"Tsk tsk!"
Wang Chuanfu looked back and forth at the pinnacle generation prototype and experienced its functions.
The more he experienced it, the more shocked he was.
At this time, he understood that everyone had underestimated Lu Yi and Blue Star Electronics.
When Blue Star Electronics was established, the outside world felt that Lu Yi had no future in making mobile phones.
Because the global mobile phone market is basically occupied by brands such as Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson, and Sony.
In the domestic mobile phone market, foreign brands account for more than 70%.
Under the impact of foreign brands, domestic brands have to survive in the cracks and engage in price wars, barely making a living.
At that time, everyone felt that Lu Yi's desire to change the domestic mobile phone market was a fool's errand, and his desire to shake Nominea's dominance was even more foolish.
In particular, the gambling agreement signed between Blue Star Electronics and Gaotong is simply a joke in the eyes of industry insiders.
Let alone 2 million units, Blue Star Electronics can sell 200,000 mobile phones, which is probably too high.
but now...….…
Wang Chuanfu knows that the pattern of the mobile phone market may really change with the launch of Pinnacle mobile phone.
Not only the domestic mobile phone market, but also the global mobile phone market will undergo drastic changes because of Pinnacle mobile phones.
It’s not that there are no smart phones on the market. Nokia, BlackBerry, Motorola, etc. have already launched smart phones.
But comparing the smartphones on the market now with the top mobile phones... well, there is no comparison between the two.
It is not an exaggeration to describe Pinnacle Mobile as a dimensionality reduction attack on those smartphones on the market. .
