Chapter 704: Don't Always Want to Dig Traps (1st Update)
After Liu Yun released this long-brewing news, it also caused a sensation unexpectedly.
This news is tantamount to a bombshell for today's Huaxia mobile phone market. Many people realize that this incident will have a very far-reaching impact even on the mobile Internet era that has just begun.
A reporter immediately asked: "Mr. Liu, is the establishment of this alliance to deal with the threat of Apple or Samsung mobile phones?" ”
In their opinion, Liu Yun's words in front of him were fanciful and righteous, but in essence they were just polite words, and he launched this alliance in such a hurry, most of which was to deal with some potential threats and take advantage of all the favorable conditions that could be useful.
After all, Apple's iPhone 4 sales are popular all over the world, and the subversive revolution it has brought is not only the pressure of Chinese mobile phone manufacturers, but also foreign ones.
And then there's Samsung, which is already a world-class giant company. In the era of traditional mobile phones, Samsung occupies a pivotal position in this industry, when they choose the Android system and announce their entry into the smartphone industry in a high-profile manner, many people in the industry think that Samsung will become the leader of Android mobile phones.
Relying on their wealth, Yoyo took the second and third generations of Android first, and tasted the sweetness of being the first to strike, so they won't sit still and watch Samsung snatch their own territory.
They still want to continue to be the leader of Android phones, so the two companies will inevitably go to confrontation.
"I think Mr. Liu's first enemy will be Samsung. Someone in the audience immediately echoed this view.
The threat of these two world-class giant companies, Apple is far away, while Samsung is close at hand.
After all, the price positioning of the former is not on the same level as most Android phones.
This journalist friend has a lot of imagination. Liu Yun smiled slightly, "Although both Apple and Samsung are big companies, there is no need for me to build an alliance specifically for this." ”
He made an official tone and did not answer the question directly.
These business bigwigs are all human beings, how can they be led by these reporters?
He continued: "Domestic products should be self-reliant. I said that this alliance is to strengthen the viability of our Huaxia mobile phone manufacturers through cooperation and competition, not to be the enemy of a certain company. Whether it's Apple, or Samsung's top management, I've met with them. We have a good friendship.
You journalists, don't always try to sow discord and make a big story, it doesn't make sense at all. ”
Liu Yun replied unceremoniously.
Immediately, another reporter asked: "Mr. Liu, are the founders of this alliance Youyou and Xiaomi?"
Liu Yun nodded and said: "For the time being, if Huawei is willing to join, of course they are also one of the founders." Mr. Lei and I went to visit Mr. Ren in person. I don't think this alliance would be perfect without Huawei. ”
Rebus, who was standing on the side, could only squeeze out a cooperative smile on his face when he heard Liu Yun say.
Unlike YOYO, Xiaomi mobile phone is still a fledgling newcomer, because of its own marketing skills, as well as Liu Yun standing on the side today, strong support, it has completely launched the reputation of this brand.
Frankly speaking, Yoyo is qualified, and Huawei is also qualified to become the founder of this alliance, but today's Xiaomi still lacks a little qualifications and heat.
If Rebus is asked to talk to Huawei's President Ren about the alliance, the other party may not pay too much attention to it. After all, you yourself have not made much brilliant achievements in the field of smartphones.
But this alliance joins Yoyo, and the weight is different, which is enough to attract the attention of Huawei.
Therefore, it is Liu Yun's strong support behind the scenes, and Xiaomi can barely get on the top.
He owes Yoyo and Liu Yun a big, great favor.
Rebus somewhat agreed with the opinion of the reporters who fanned the flames just now, that in order to fight against a powerful foreign enemy, Liu Yun wanted to unite all the forces that could be united.
Of course, if Liu Yun didn't admit it, he wouldn't be able to break it.
This young man, who has already created a miracle, may have his own plans.
"In short, I hope that the Xiaomi Mi 1 can be a fire, and if it can't be a big fire, it's okay to have a small fire, so that I have more excellent qualifications. "Rebus, who has just stepped into the field of smart phones, is unlikely to be like Liu Yun to foresee how popular Xiaomi products will be in the future.
At this moment, he is even more hesitant and uneasy.
It's no wonder that when Xiaomi was first established in another time and space, the well-known Android machine on the market was HTC, which was strong in the outside world, and Huawei and Samsung had just established the project.
Liu Yun has been laying out since 2008, and for this reason, he has deepened the connection with Google and the Android team, until now the YOYO series of smartphones is born. It can be said that in this timeline of time and space, the development speed of Android phones has been artificially accelerated.
Someone in the audience continued to raise their hands and asked: "Mr. Liu, can all Chinese mobile phone manufacturers join this alliance?"
Liu Yun said with a smile: "The threshold must be set, not all copycat companies can come in." The specific rules need to be discussed by a few of us. In short, I am here to announce this news today, as for the specific content, because of the trade secrets, and there are many details that have not been formulated, it is not suitable for disclosure to the public. ”
What he meant was to tell everyone present that you just need to know that we are going to set up the "Huaxia Android Mobile Phone Alliance", and there is nothing else to comment on for the time being.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in Liu Yun's ears, and this tone couldn't help but give him goosebumps all over his body.
"Mr. Liu, then let me ask, can Taiwan's HTC join this alliance?"
He glanced at the reporter who asked the question, and said secretly in his heart: This guy is most likely from the other side of the strait.
Under the public's court, this question is actually full of pitfalls. If you don't pay attention and directly deny it, it means that HTC is not qualified to join this alliance.
Then a few hours later, there will be an overwhelming storm of public opinion that will rush towards you.
Nowadays, their scenery is beautiful, but there are many guys with pink eye, and they will not let go of this opportunity to buckle their hats.
"As a treasure island company, HTC certainly has this qualification, if your king always has this intention. Of course, whether or not it will be possible in the end will need to be reviewed, and this is not my sole decision. You're right, Mr. Lei. Liu Yun smiled slightly, and turned his gaze to Rebus.
"Yes, yes. Mr. Liu is very right. Rebus didn't expect Liu Yun to suddenly throw this pot at him, and he was caught off guard, so he could only squeeze out a smile and hurriedly respond.
The reporter was a little disappointed, Liu Yun's answer was leaky, but he was sure in his heart that the other party was perfunctory.
Although the qualifications are nominally available, there is a lot of room for manipulation when conducting the audit, and even with the attitude that these people just showed. Even if HTC passes the audit, most of them will be treated coldly by these old foxes, or even isolated.
At this moment, even if he wants to buckle their hats, it seems that he can't find a suitable opportunity, after all, people are polite to you on the surface.
