Chapter 495: An Unexpected Matchmaking (4,000 Words)

Liu Yun didn't know that Youyou and Jinshan had successfully reached an agreement, and there was a slightly unexpected thing happened during his trip to Taiwan.

TSMC has shown strong interest in establishing a branch in Shanghai, and also said that once the cooperation is formed, it will be able to provide technical help for Yoyo's research on mobile phone chips.

Although they are a chip foundry company, don't think that the foundry has no technical content, which is a bit different from ordinary industries. The chip industry is very high-end in foundry, and there are only no more than 5 companies in the world that can do this.

The three giants Intel, Samsung and TSMC are among the leaders.

When the negotiations between the two sides came to an end, Zhang Mouzhong smiled and said that he wanted to introduce a friend to Mr. Liu, a strong woman named Wang Xuehong, who was close to 50 years old.

When Liu Yun first heard this name, he just felt a little familiar, but he didn't have much impression, and when he saw the real person, he just nodded politely.

But Zhang Zhongmou then added: "Mr. Liu, our Mr. Wang may not be very famous in your mainland, but he is a very prestigious strong woman in Taiwan." She is the founder of HTC Electronics, also known as HTC. ”

Liu Yun was slightly stunned, and quickly reacted.

It turned out to be her!

In another time and space, HTC's brilliance was too short-lived, like a meteor glimpsed across the sky. So Liu Yun was impressed, but not profound.

After the prelude to the smartphone era opened, because the iPhone4 mobile phone was too expensive, and he was resistant to stick goods from the heart, HTC was the first smartphone he started, but the trajectory of its decline was very similar to the grandeur of the continent, at its peak, it suddenly collapsed, and then fell at the speed of light.

"Mr. Wang, now your company's HTC series is the benchmark for smartphones in the Chinese world, and I have admired it for a long time. Liu Yun quietly slapped a sycophant over.

The last time he left Taiwan, Liu Yun also thought about how to get in touch with HTC's factory and take the lead in the era of smart phones. After all, the rise of smart phones in mainland China will roughly wait until after 2012.

Nowadays, for many mainland mobile phone manufacturers, the concept of smart phones is not clear, and the technical ability is not up to par, and Liu Yun cannot wait so long.

Of course, there is another reason, he would rather look for HTC than Huawei. This company has enough technical capabilities, but the cooperation opponent is too strong, which is not a good thing in many cases.

Huawei's real entry into the mobile phone industry was in 2012, and it was from that time that it led the collective rise of mainland mobile phone manufacturers with it as a pioneer.

If Liu Yun goes to them to cooperate now, and advances this time point by 2-3 years, maybe there will be no room for Youyou to drink soup at that time.

It is not impossible to seek skin with tigers, but it still varies from person to person. Liu Yun chose to cooperate with Zhou Hongyi because Yoyo's strength is in a crushing position, as are Jinshan and HTC, and once the cooperation opponent is replaced by Huawei, he will be the disadvantaged side.

Wang Xuehong was a little surprised, now the smart phones based on indos Phone are only sold in Taiwan, and have not yet entered the mainland market, I didn't expect this young man to have heard of himself, and praised HTC as a benchmark for Chinese smart phones.

This made her very useful, and her favorability towards Liu Yun suddenly increased significantly.

After Wang Xuehong shook hands with Liu Yun, she said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, do you think HTC smart phones have prospects in the mainland market?"

Liu Yun raised his eyebrows lightly and said with a smile: "Of course there are, but there will also be many strong competitors." ”

Wang Xuehong showed a bitter smile and said, "I understand this. For example, Nokia's smartphones are based on indos Phone like ours. But because of the better partnership between them and Microsoft, we can always get new versions and patches faster, which makes us very passive. What's more, with the same operating system, Nokia's smartphones are smoother than ours. ”

Liu Yun frowned slightly and said: "This is a difficult problem, there is only one operating system on the market, indos Phone, just like a PC, a monopoly will be arbitrary." Nokia is a giant, and Microsoft is also a giant, and they obviously have a more intimate relationship with each other, which is huddle together to maintain their hegemony over each other forever. ”

This is normal, but after a few years, the close relationship between Nokia and Microsoft will be a key blow to them, but when all smartphones use Android, they still stick to the death and stick to the indos phone, and the result is that the mobile phone empire collapses.

Wang Xuehong nodded and said: "The fact is that, as Mr. Liu analyzed, the industry overlord can set the rules of the game. Today's Youyou, the Internet market in mainland China has also touched this edge. ”

Liu Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Wang, this is really too much praise, I can't stand it." Whether it's Nokia or Microsoft, it's the unattainable existence of today. ”

"Didn't Mr. Liu predict that Nokia will lose its hegemony within five years?"

"If you prophecy this kind of thing, if you are hit, you are a god, and if you don't win, it's normal, just talk about it. ”

Liu Yun smiled indifferently and said: "Apple is also a giant, and Nokia is not unjust if it really loses to Apple." ”

Wang Xuehong gave Liu Yun a foldable HTC smartphone as a gift.

For Liu Yun, this is a completely new product. Because in his previous life, he jumped directly from Nokia of the Symbian system to HTC of the Android system, and he personally did not experience the smart phone of the indos Phone operating system.

Today's smart phones all need a metal pen to operate, which is very inconvenient, so Liu Yun would rather use a mobile phone that requires buttons.

"Mr. Liu, what do you think of the operation?"

It's really inconvenient to use, and sometimes the metal pen will only react after several clicks. Such a smart machine is the best place to go to a museum as a collection.

"Mr. Wang, it's very easy to use, very good smart phone. ”

Liu Yun stiffened his head and said very against his will.

After all, smart machines in this era only have this quality.

"Mr. Wang, have you ever thought that maybe in a few years, the operating system of your mobile phone will no longer be indos phone?"

Wang Xuehong was slightly stunned and asked, "How is this possible?" Microsoft's monopoly on the operating system is very scary, and Apple has a chance, but their system is closed-source. ”

Liu Yun didn't reveal much information, so he said: "No one can say for sure what will happen in the future." By the way, Mr. Wang, I am going to buy some HTC smartphones and distribute them to Yoyo's employees as benefits. ”

Wang Xuehong was overjoyed and asked, "How many are Mr. Liu going to buy?"

Liu Yun thought for a moment and replied: "The price of the current smart phone is not cheap, let me order 1,000 units first." ”

Today's HTC has a complete set of smartphone production chain, with factories, capital, technology, and many outstanding technicians.

On the mainland, these are still blank.

If Yoyo wants to accelerate and overtake in the crooked road, it is a good choice to cooperate with HTC in the early stage, just like 360 Antivirus in the previous life chose to cooperate with Kaspersky in the early stage.

As for the result, Kaspersky, which has been strong for a few years, and HTC, which has been strong for a few years, may one day have a feeling of sympathy.

Liu Yun secretly made up his mind and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, I think there will be a good cooperation between Youyou and HTC." We are willing to provide assistance for you to develop the mainland market. ”

After hearing this, Wang Xuehong was overjoyed, this was the purpose of her coming to see Liu Yun today, so she nodded and said, "Thank you Mr. Liu." ”

Liu Yun continued: "Yoyo has taken a stake in one of the e-commerce websites, which will provide a sales channel for HTC smartphones when the time comes. Of course, I will draw up a marketing slogan for you, such as our own smart phone. ”

HTC in the previous life, after the curtain of the mobile Internet era opened, did use this slogan, but Liu Yun just took the lead to apply this slogan.

"Yes, this will help us open up the mainland market. ”

Wang Xuehong nodded with satisfaction.

Liu Yun smiled calmly and continued: "Mr. Wang, HTC is the leader of smart phones in the entire Chinese world, and is in a leading position in terms of technology, but we also have many competitors, today's four giants Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Samsung not to mention, Apple is also eyeing the mobile phone industry, we should be more warm together." ”

Wang Xuehong glanced at Zhang Mouzhong and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu is right. This Samsung is really, almost every line has to be plugged in, the semiconductor industry and your TSMC are in full swing, and the mobile phone industry is also targeting us everywhere. ”

Zhang Zhongmou nodded and agreed, and said: "This largest company in South Korea has almost the support of the entire country behind it. They are like a greedy beast that is constantly expanding, devouring the world's market. ”

Liu Yun said: "Yes, Samsung is very strong. So the three of us should work together, not to mention in the world, but at least in the whole Greater China region, to be able to fight together against Samsung's hegemony. ”

He turned his head as he spoke, looked at Wang Xuehong seriously, and said, "Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhang must have mentioned to you that Yoyo is also planning to enter the mobile phone industry." Of course, you are seniors in this industry, and you are pioneers in the Chinese world, so there is a lot to learn from us. ”

This is an equivalent exchange transaction, Yoyo for HTC's sales in the mainland to open up the market, and HTC is also in this cooperation, helping Yoyo to establish a complete mobile phone production system, from technology to hardware.

Wang Xuehong does not think that once Yoyo enters the mobile phone industry, it will pose a threat to HTC.

After all, this is a company with no background and no experience.

Nowadays, the mobile phone industry is almost monopolized by the four major brands, including HTC, many domestic brands, can only drink some leftover soup, and one more Youyou, which is not bad in financial strength, can make this pool of water more turbid.

"Mr. Liu, after you officially build the factory, your staff are welcome to come here to learn from experience. ”

Wang Xuehong smiled and looked very enthusiastic. She felt that she had to have a good relationship with this young business giant in the mainland, because Yoyo has super channel operation capabilities in the mainland's Internet.

Soon the three of them sat down and discussed some details together.

Liu Yun stayed in Taiwan for another day, and then he couldn't wait to leave.

He needed to take the results of this trip back to report back to Li Zeguang, and this time he increased the chips in his hand.

Fortunately, not only did he have a very smooth conversation with the helm of TSMC, but he also unexpectedly got involved in the HTC line, which means that in the early stage of the mobile Internet era, Yoyo has the opportunity to bite a piece of meat in the mobile phone market.

"As an open-minded reborn, I have been able to use all the prophetic messages that I can use. ”

However, he understands that time waits for no one, and the plan to build a factory should be on the agenda.

Liu Yun's plan is to build a factory on his own, and the first mobile phone to test the water will be manufactured by HTC and use the operating system of indos Phone.

This is a Yoyo testing machine, in order to make a name for itself and seize some positions in this market.

No company can expect to be profitable with its first phone. Both Apple and Huawei have launched several test machines to observe the market's reaction and continue to improve before they succeed.

Now, his immediate priority is to buy a factory and put it up first.

So Liu Yun thought of his college classmates, Chen Zifeng and his father's foundry, which was not too large.

......

Shortly after Liu Yun returned to Ningjiang from Taiwan, the Jinshan Company in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, also announced that from July 16, 2007, Jinshan Drug Tyrant officially announced that it would be free forever.

Suddenly, this market was like a thunderbolt on the ground, stirring up stormy waves.

In the impression of many netizens, Kingsoft Antivirus is an antivirus software released by Kingsoft in 1999, and it is an old qualification brand with a long history.

When Yoyo Antivirus is rampant in the market with the word "free", do they also choose to compromise and abandon the original principle?

Kaspersky, Jiang Min, and Ruixing rushed to be surprised, and called to find out what Bojun really thought in his heart.

He smiled bitterly, but he couldn't tell the truth of the facts, and replied helplessly: "No, I can't hold on, and the non-free users are all gone." ”

"Keep begging, hold on for a while. All of us in the antivirus software chamber have collectively put pressure on Yoyo, and now they are the target of public criticism, and they will soon face countless verbal and written criticisms. Now that you're coming out like this, we can't use our strength in one place. ”

One is free, and they can still resist it, but if both are like this, they can only compromise.

In the shopping mall, there are only eternal interests, not eternal friends. Yoyo gave Jin Shan the benefits he wanted, and they also got on each other's chariots without hesitation.

In the second half of 2007, the paid market for Huaxia antivirus software officially announced that it was shrinking rapidly in an irreversible trend.

Yoyo will dominate the market with very few obstacles.

At the same time, Ding Sanshi, who was also in Guangdong Province, heard the news, and his expression became a little strange. He also thought that his poaching action forced Jin Shan to adopt this policy, but he accidentally helped Liu Yun's kid share the pressure.

He was only half right. (https:)
