The secretary tilted his head slightly and said, "Mr. Ren, our Huawei HiSilicon was established in 2004, and their Youyou Yunsi was established in 2008, four years late. Liu Yun always sneered on social media, saying that Tencent was their shadow. But you can see what they are doing, and they are not the shadow of our Huawei. “

Ren Zhengyao looked away and said, "Xiao Yang, this is your extreme." The research on chips is not our patent, this is a very expensive thing, if other Huaxia companies are willing to invest in this, I welcome it with both hands. Although there are some people who have been advocating that it is better to buy than to build, I have always disagreed with this view.

There is also the mobile phone business, although Huawei set up a mobile phone project department as early as 2003, but we are really ready to enter the smartphone industry at the beginning of this year, so Yoyo has relied on its own efforts to get out of a way, not counting our shadow. “

Secretary Yang originally wanted to tout Huawei by the way while belittling Youyou, but he didn't expect that Mr. Ren didn't buy it, but refuted his point of view, and suddenly felt bored.

He pondered for a few seconds, and then asked, "Mr. Ren, what help do you think this alliance can bring us once it is established?"

Ren Zheng thought for a while and replied: "The most direct point is that several large-scale Huaxia mobile phone manufacturers can reduce internal friction and accelerate the upgrading of their own technology, which will be a huge blow to those foreign mobile phone manufacturers and domestic copycat brands." “

Secretary Yang nodded abruptly and said, "Obviously, this so-called alliance is a redivision of the market. “

Obviously, this old guy who has been crawling around in the mall for most of his life can see farther than ordinary people, and he can better understand Liu Yun's thoughts.

Putting aside the maverick Apple, squeezing the living space of the vast majority of foreign mobile phone manufacturers is the goal that this alliance has placed on the bright side, of course, some words that have not been put on the table, and only some old foxes with deep Taoism can be seen.

For example, this alliance is not for any Chinese mobile phone manufacturers to join, in addition to Yoyo and Xiaomi, Liu Yun has already invested in OPPO and VIVO will also occupy two places. It is said that the sales of these two mobile phones in China have not improved much, but they have received a lot of popularity in Guangdong Province.

Then coupled with Huawei in his own hands, there is very little space left for other mobile phone manufacturers.

After the alliance is officially established, it will inevitably carry out a major reshuffle of the entire Chinese Android mobile phone market, and it will be difficult for those small manufacturers and copycat brands to survive.

At that time, their capital, technology, marketing, and even proud pricing will no longer have an advantage, especially after Yoyo and Xiaomi launch smartphones below the 2000 price point, the road for these manufacturers will only get narrower and narrower.

But with Huawei's current funding and R&D strength, Ren Zheng does not need to worry about encountering this problem, and he thinks more far-reaching.

"That leisurely Mr. Liu is a little younger, but he has always been very cautious in doing things. Touching his chin and groaning, he said, "With every step he takes, he can think about the next three steps." I'm curious if this alliance has a deeper meaning than just the superficial meaning?"

"For example?"

"I have always had an idea in my heart that one day I will be able to have an independent mobile phone operating system, I wonder if Mr. Liu has the same idea?"

"Independent mobile phone operating system?" Secretary Yang was surprised after hearing this, "Mr. Ren, I always thought that this rumor in the past few days was groundless, do you really have such an idea?"

The difficulty of developing a mobile phone system is no less than the research of chips, and from a comprehensive analysis, the former is far more complex than the latter due to the existence of various objective factors.

"Mr. Ren, under the theoretical analysis, as long as the chip meets the technical standard, it can be put into the market. But the operating system is different...... "Secretary Yang expressed concern, "it is more complex, there are various factors such as user experience, market needs, etc. Even if your self-developed operating system is beautiful in all aspects, no less than Android, or even IOS, it is still unknown whether the market and users will accept it.

To take the simplest example, the world giant Samsung, which has its own Orion CPU, also has its own system BADA. The former has a certain amount of market demand, but the latter is not cared for, even after investing countless money and manpower, it still ends in failure, and even their own mobile phones have abandoned the BADA system. ”

Ren Zheng stood up, paced back and forth in the office a few times, and continued: "I know your worries, the development of an operating system is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it may also be wasted and wasted, but this, like chips, is the two most important lifelines of an electronic product, and it is impossible to be in the hands of others without uneasiness.

Today, Huawei's mobile phone business does not account for a large proportion of the company, but I am sure that the importance of the mobile phone business in the group will increase day by day in the next few years. If one day, our phones can no longer use Android, then do we still have a way out or a hole card to save our lives?"

Secretary Yang said in disbelief: "This is impossible! Android is an open platform, and we sincerely invite mobile phone manufacturers from all over the world to join it." Because of openness and inclusiveness, it can barely compete with Apple's IOS. How could they refuse such a big company as ours. ”

Ren Zheng sighed lightly: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case." Maybe one day, this spare tire will be used. ”

He couldn't figure out Liu Yun's true inner thoughts at this moment, and he didn't know if he was also thinking the same thing. But for the "Huaxia Android Mobile Phone Alliance" that is being prepared, this old man also reports a supportive attitude, but he has another purpose.

However, Mr. Ren, who was born in the military, also has a strong nationalist sentiment in his heart, and he also agrees with Liu Yun's point of view.

The so-called side of the couch does not allow others to snore.

Judging from the vigorous development of various Chinese mobile phone manufacturers, the domestic market should be the self-reserved land of several of their companies, and outsiders are not allowed to come in and interfere.

"That's the general ...... When do you think Liu Yun and Lei Jun will come to you to discuss the establishment of an alliance?" Secretary Yang asked after thinking for a while.

"I guess it's going to be a few months. Ren Zheng said lightly, of course, with his experience, he could see that Liu Yun had a calculation, "At least 2 months, by that time, whether Xiaomi 1 is successful or not, and how its market sales and response are, have basically set the tone." When the two of them came over, they were even more confident. ”

"I remember that at the end of the year, the YOYO Sky X2 will also be launched, and it is said that there will be three versions with different memory configurations. Secretary Yang suddenly thought of something, "Plus Liu Yun still has shares in OPPO and VIVO, and when the time comes, it will be time for him to negotiate, but it is the time when he is in full swing." ”

"I'm looking forward to meeting him. Ren Zheng thought for a while and said, "I agree with Mr. Liu's point of view, Huaxia's smartphone market is very large, big enough to accommodate you and me." However, Yoyo's strength is not so easy for another big company in our deep city. ”

Secretary Yang said meaningfully, "Mr. Ren refers to that penguin?"

Ren Zheng nodded and said: "Not long ago, their Mr. Ma came to me, hoping that our Huawei mobile phones can bring one of their products when they are set up at the factory." ”

Secretary Yang blurted out and asked, "Is it QQ?"

Ren Zheng shook his head and said: "It's not QQ, it's a product called WeChat, which has a lot of similarities with Youxin, which is now popular." ”

Secretary Yang pursed his lips and said with some disapproval: "This ...... It's not surprising, it's the penguin's style. Did Mr. Ren agree?"

Ren Zheng said with a smile: "I didn't agree, and he didn't refuse immediately, after all, we are both companies in Shencheng, but I didn't agree to Youyou's similar request." I'll have to watch and see. ”

Although the old man is not young, his thinking can still keep up with the rhythm of young people.

He vaguely realized that Yoyo and Tencent, as well as Uxin and WeChat, could be a big battle between the two companies on mobile. He didn't want to get involved.

"Mr. Ren, do you think it is possible for WeChat to catch up and successfully replace Youxin?"

"It's not entirely possible, but it's not likely. The key depends on how that Liu will play his cards?"

......

At this moment, Tencent, which is in the same deep city as Huawei, has a different boss.

The date of WeChat's release is getting closer and closer, but the uneasiness in Xiao Ma's heart is getting stronger and stronger.

Because in the past few days, one after another not very good news has come.

Everyone, his position is different, the interests he is pursuing are different, so the angle of looking at the problem is also different.

Since Yoyo announced the establishment of the Huaxia Android Mobile Phone Alliance, Xiao Ma's first reaction was: This kid is targeting me.

He doesn't care who competes in the Huaxia smartphone market, after all, Tencent has no business in this area.

The first thing that Xiao Ma thought of was that if all the manufacturers in this alliance had their own Youxin in their factory settings, the drainage effect of QQ on WeChat would be canceled.

Nowadays, Uxin has become very popular and has seized most of the mobile market, and it has become very passive. Liu Yun has such a hand again, and it is even more difficult for WeChat to break out of the encirclement than to ascend to the sky.

Brother Xiao Ma walked out of the WeChat project team, returned to his office, and half lay on the chair, looking at the ceiling in a daze, and dialed a number with a landline: "You come to my office." ”

After a while, Huang Ming, the manager of the WeChat product department, knocked on the door outside and walked in: "Mr. Ma, you are looking for me." ”

For this WeChat project, Brother Xiao Ma is personally in charge, and Huang Ming in front of him is the second-in-command of this project. As the boss, Brother Xiao Ma has too many affairs, and there are some tasks that he can't have time to deal with, so Huang Ming is in charge.

"Xiao Huang, at the end of this month, our WeChat will officially log in to the major mobile platforms, how are we ready?" Brother Xiao Ma sat up straight, looked at Huang Ming and said.

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. Huang Ming stood in front of the boss and took a deep breath and said.

Through theoretical analysis and various pre-launch tests, this product has been very mature and perfect.

After all, there is already such a popular product as Youxin on the market, which provides them with a lot of ideas, and it is not difficult to imitate it.

"I'm confident in the quality of my products. Brother Xiao Ma nodded, "But after all, software is different from hardware, and quality alone is not enough, and market promotion and marketing are also needed." ”

After a little mover, he continued to add: "The key is traffic, but I don't know how much drainage this QQ can bring us." ”

After all, Brother Xiao Ma is the boss of Tencent, and it is impossible for him to focus on a certain product all the time, and almost until WeChat has gained a firm foothold in the market, he will most likely withdraw and hand over the operation of this product to himself.

When the time comes, he will hold the product of WeChat, and it is entirely possible that he will go hand in hand with Zhang Zhidong of the QQ product department. He looks forward to the day when he will become famous, but for now he has to keep a low profile.

"With the drainage of QQ, there will inevitably be a lot of detours for the development of WeChat, but this is a mobile terminal after all, and the effect should not be as good as that on the PC side. Huang Ming thought for a while and said, "I have also approached Mr. Zhang several times for this purpose, hoping that he can support the WeChat project more." After all, if this product is successful, it will benefit the entire group. ”

"Actually, I'm thinking about adding another mobile phone address book scan in addition to the QQ address book import?"

"This ......," Huang Ming hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course you can, but it's too late." We can improve this feature in the next update. ”

Brother Pony obviously had another layer of worry: "It's okay, wait." After all, the idea of importing mobile phone contacts was conceived by Yoyo. If I take the liberty of following up, Liu Yun's kid will probably be doing things on social media again. ”

For the Weibo project, he regretted it a little in his heart.

It's not because at the beginning of the year, the project was abandoned for strategic purposes, after all, the gap between the two was too big at that time, and it was already useless. What Brother Xiao regrets is that he entered this piece too late, causing Yoyo to pull Sina and seize the opportunity.

Once you lose the position of public opinion, especially if this field is still controlled by your competitors, it actually seems very passive.

Brother Xiao Ma touched his chin and muttered for a moment: "Now the situation is not very favorable to us, but the hole cards are not nothing, such as QQ, the hole card should be fully utilized, not only drainage." ”

Huang Ming's eyes flashed and asked, "Mr. Ma, do you want to?"

More than just drainage, his tone was already a little agitated. He hadn't touched QQ's attention, but because of his identity and position, it was never appropriate for him to open up this suggestion, so he had been guiding Brother Xiaoma.

But Brother Xiao Ma is a very slamming guy, and it is very difficult for him to give some benefits to netizens.

"Send Q Coins?"

Huang Ming's eyes lit up!

"It's not okay, the benefits are too great. Do you want to sign up for a QQ membership card?"

Huang Ming's eyes dimmed a little, but it was better than nothing.
