Chapter 719 - Reaching an Agreement, Joining Forces (4000 Words Update)

Lei Jun opened his mouth slightly, looked at Liu Yun with some surprise, and thought to himself: Brother, how can it be so easy to develop an independent smartphone system.

You guys, one old and one young, chatted and chatted, and they really reached a consensus.

That...... I'm going to go crazy with them.

However, the profit of Xiaomi mobile phones is not high, and hundreds of millions of yuan of R&D funds are invested every year, and then a mobile phone system is built, and the money is thrown out like burning paper.

Liu Yun is not as sentimental as Lei Jun, for Youyou, the profit is enough.

The system research and development of an additional operating system is nothing more than a reduction in the company's profits from nearly 10 billion.

What's more, this R&D expense is still borne by the three companies.

"Mr. Ren......" He was silent for a while, his eyes flashing, "If one day, the two core chips and operating systems of smartphones are controlled by Huaxia Company itself, it will be a matter of benefiting the country and the people." ”

Ren Zheng's face was full of jokes, but his tone was very humble: "The rice still has to be eaten one bite at a time, and now these eight characters have not been skimmed."

Even if our operating system has been developed or even tested, it cannot be rolled out right away. ”

Liu Yun looked puzzled and asked, "Why is this?"

He sighed in his heart that this old man was really worthy of being a well-informed old cadre, and his perspective on problems was much more far-reaching than his.

"It needs to be a good time. ”

"What's the right time?"

"There are two types, passive and active. ”

"Active and passive?"

Liu Yun was puzzled, and even Lei Jun's eyes widened, revealing curiosity.

Ren Zheng was very satisfied with the expressions of the two people, took a few sips of tea, and continued to talk: "The initiative is that we feel that this product is mature, so we try to bring it to the market and see how consumers react." ”

Liu Yun blinked and looked at the other party, and asked puzzledly: "It's normal to do this, what is that passivity?"

Ren Zheng took a deep breath and said in a cautious tone: "Passive is what I mentioned above, once Google stops providing Android service programs, then we have to rely on ourselves." ”

Liu Yun knew that this would not happen in the next few years, but he could not guarantee that it would not happen in the more distant future.

"But frankly...... "I'd rather launch our operating system in a reactive state after a short pause." ”

After hearing this, Liu Yun was a little puzzled: "Why is it better to be passive?"

Ren Zheng replied: "Because in the case of a passive state, it must be the United States that will make the first move, and public opinion over there will be on our side." In this way, it actually helped us make a priceless advertisement. After all, we have to do it as a last resort. ”

Liu Yun couldn't help but admire the other party's scheming and calculation, and he was able to think about it so thoroughly.

Even Lei Jun on the side rarely expressed his approval: "Indeed, if we launch a new mobile phone operating system in the active state, it will inevitably be compared with Android." In this way, we are a bit passive. After all, by the time we were able to launch a full-fledged system program, Android had already occupied the market for several years, and the advantages should not be too obvious. ”

After hearing this, Liu Yun also nodded and said: "People have preconceived ideas, even if our system can surpass Android in all aspects, it may not be recognized in the market." It's all about the consumer experience. ”

Ren Zheng replied approvingly: "This is also what I am worried about. After all, this is not the same as the real quality competition of hardware, and we must be able to cater to the market demand. But no matter how difficult the road is, we have to go and there is no choice. ”

Liu Yun pondered for a moment, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Ren, it seems difficult to develop an independent operating system and be recognized by the market, but we may not have no opportunities." ”

His strength is his ability to draw inferences and think outside the box.

Ren Zheng and Lei Jun both set their eyes on Liu Yun in unison.

"I didn't expect our alliance to be more meaningful than I expected. Liu Yun smiled indifferently, and suddenly found that he was really prescient, "If we develop an independent mobile phone operating system, we will inevitably need other Internet companies to develop it and be able to match the APP products that are suitable for us."

Yoyo is an Internet company, Xiaomi is also half, and Huawei also has its own APP product project department. ”

The two glanced at each other and nodded silently.

Liu Yun took a deep breath and continued: "The APP products required by a smartphone, our three companies can almost cover most of them. ”

Of course, this is just a humble statement on his part.

The fact is that Yoyo can almost cover the vast majority of APP products by one company.

"If a new mobile phone system will soon have many matching APP products, it is conducive to the accumulation of users. It may seem difficult, but it's nothing to us as a league. ”

This point cannot be refuted by even Ren Zheng.

In the product development of the mobile terminal, Yoyo has taken the lead, which is a huge and unique advantage.

This also means that Yoyo will always occupy the most important core position in this alliance.

"The second point is that the system alone is far from enough, and the cooperation of mobile phone manufacturers is also needed. Our own system, several companies in our alliance will definitely support it greatly!"

The three founders in the alliance: Yoyo, Huawei, Xiaomi, and OPPO and VIVO that Yoyo has invested in.

Together, these mobile phone brands have accounted for as much as 80% of the market share of the Chinese Android market, and they are still on the rise.

What do these hard and soft conditions mean?

These three people know very well that there will only be one day, and the passive state that Ren Zheng assumed will happen. In this worst-case scenario, the vast majority of smartphones in Huaxia can be replaced with their own operating systems in a short period of time.

The sheer number of mobile phone brands, as well as the sheer number of users behind them, greatly increases the likelihood of a new system succeeding.

"Not only that, think about it, if all the smart phones on the market that can be said to be brands give up the Android system one day, even if those Internet companies want to support the Android system anymore, there is no mobile phone as a carrier for them to run. They had to choose our system. ”

At this moment, Ren Zheng was also convinced.

He only thought about taking precautions because of the sense of crisis in his heart and was worried that one day the United States would cut off the service of the Android system.

But Liu Yun has already thought about how to take the remaining steps once the crisis breaks out.

It is no wonder that the person in front of him can achieve such dazzling achievements at this age and squeeze into the top three places on the Chinese rich list.

His gaze on the problem was indeed far-reaching enough.

However, Lei Jun still has a question: "Mr. Liu, I have another concern." ”

Liu Yun glanced at him and said with a smile: "You say." ”

Lei Jun frowned slightly and said: "Launching a new operating system is a big deal, and it is not possible to make users accept it for a while." I'm worried...... Those foreign mobile phone manufacturers will take this opportunity to exert force. ”

Liu Yun shrugged his shoulders and replied, "No hurry. The R&D time of our system, even if we combine the strength of our three companies, will take at least 5 years to complete the initial process. ”

Five years later, in 2016.

"I believe that the market share of Huaxia Android machines will occupy about 80% by then, and almost all of these Android machines will be occupied by our domestic brands. ”

"Are you sure?"

"That's what our alliance is for. In the next five years, we will do our best to squeeze the living space of foreign mobile phone brands and make them dispensable after five years. ”

"Including apples?"

"Apple is our competitor, but we don't have to deliberately target it, after all, its system is independent. ”

Lei Jun sat up straight and began to fold his fingers, counting them one by one: "Apples don't count." Now in Huaxia, Nokia is no longer very good, the number of users of Motorola and Sony is decreasing, and it is a matter of time before it withdraws from the Chinese market. As for HTC, Mr. Liu, do you think it is a domestic brand?"

The old fox smiled wickedly and threw this hot potato to Liu Yun.

Ren Zheng, who was born in the military on the side, had a higher consciousness, frowned, closed his mouth, and avoided this question.

"Count ......" Liu Yun dragged a long voice and said indifferently, "But as long as it is not in our alliance, whether it is a domestic brand or not, it is our competitive opponent, so we must compress the living space of the other party." ”

"Then what if they apply to join this alliance?" asked Lei Jun again.

"Of course I refuse!" As for the reason...... Liu Yun thought for a while and smiled, "The price is too high, the market share is too low, and it is not up to standard." ”

Such a mobile phone, it seems, is only HTC, this is a tailor-made clause for it.

"That's a good reason. Ren Zheng also smiled, and secretly said that this young man is very sinister.

"To sum up, our real opponent is only three stars. Lei Jun said after a few seconds of silence.

"Yes, at least in the Huaxia market, we should reach a consensus. Liu Yun glanced at the two of them and looked serious, "We are going to encircle and suppress Samsung together." I believe that they will also withdraw from the Chinese market one day. ”

Liu Yun thought of the time point of his rebirth, 2018.

At that time, the market share of Samsung mobile phones in Chinese smartphones was less than 2%, but it was still holding on.

"I hope to be able to get this company to completely abandon its business in China by 2018. As for how well they sell in other places and whether they are popular or not, it is not worth caring about yourself. ”

"I understand their flaws and lifeblood, as well as their arrogance towards Chinese consumers. ”

Of course, Samsung is a big company, and even the entire country of South Korea is behind it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a state-level chaebol.

The company's business is not only about smartphones, but also about all aspects of electronics.

Liu Yun is self-aware and knows this very well, so the three of them joined forces to target Samsung's mobile phone business for the time being.

Lei Jun is an energetic guy, and this meeting made him scrappy: "I have begun to look forward to the next five years of the smartphone market will be exciting." ”

After a slight pause, he continued, "By the way, have you considered overseas markets?"

Liu Yun replied decisively: "If you don't think about it next year, you may think about it the year after tomorrow." Where do you want to expand?"

Lei Jun pondered for a while and said, "India! It has a large population and a large market. ”

India: In a few years, the population of this country will surpass that of China.

Although the poor make up the majority, the number of users who can afford smartphones will also be a huge number.

Liu Yun suddenly thought of a little bit of evil, isn't India the place where Lei Jun's "are you OK?"

It seems that history still has its own inertia!

"Yoyo's words...... , it should be Southeast Asia. Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines and many more. ”

"Huawei's overseas markets are mainly in Africa and Latin America. ”

Soon, the three capitalists divided their spheres of influence in the Third World.

At the end of the meeting, Ren Zheng suddenly said something: "Two of you, I have an uninvited invitation." ”

Liu Yun and Lei Jun had already stood up, and after hearing this, they glanced at each other in some surprise.

They were a little surprised that Ren Zheng's tone was so cautious.

"Mr. Ren, you are so polite. Liu Yun hurriedly replied, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"I've always enjoyed reading the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and I like to name it after something on it. Mr. Ren said a little embarrassed, "So our chip is named 'Kirin', and I want to have the naming rights of the new mobile phone system." ”

Liu Yun asked with some curiosity, "Could it be that Mr. Ren has already thought of a new name?"

Ren Zheng nodded seriously and replied, "If you think about it, it's called 'Hongmeng'." ”

Hongmeng, the ancient era of Chinese myths and legends, legend has it that before Pangu opened the world in Kunlun Mountain, the world was a chaotic vitality, and this natural vitality was called Hongmeng.

Does this name have a sense of recreating a new world at a deeper level?

"Good name!" Liu Yun couldn't help but stretch out his thumb and said, "Mr. Ren, I agree with this name." Mr. Lei, what do you say?"

From Lei Jun wanting to enter the Indian market, and Ren Zheng named it "Hongmeng". At this moment, even Liu Yun had to sigh at this powerful space-time inertia, even though he had changed so much.

Lei Jun was still pondering the meaning of this name, and before he came back to his senses, he was shouted by Liu Yun and said secretly: Where is the good?

But seeing that Liu Yun had no objections, he could only agree. His smile naturally flowed, and he immediately replied: "This name is domineering and has a deep meaning, and I agree with it." ”

In this way, the three of them quickly gave the name of the mobile phone operating system they were going to develop.

"HarmonyOS" officially began to appear, a year earlier than another time and space.

At that time, Huawei was fighting alone, and this time, with the participation of Yoyo and Xiaomi, it was a strong combination.

……

After thinking about it, out of respect for Huawei, I still use the name "Hongmeng".
