……

As a relatively high city in the second tier, Guancheng is not weak in terms of comprehensive strength, and it is second only to the two first-tier cities of Yangcheng and Shencheng in Guangdong Province.

In terms of prosperity, the urban area here is not much better than Ningjiang, and the rhythm of life in the two cities is also equal, but the roads are not as spacious as Ningjiang.

The last time Liu Yun came here was in 2003, when he was also with his cousin Liu Yueru, in order to acquire the first portal hao123.

The past is like smoke, and now that he thinks about it, Liu Yun has a feeling of being in a different world.

At the beginning, Yoyo was a fledgling company with only one game website, and in more than 7 years, it has become a giant enterprise in the Internet industry.

When Liu Yun looked at the scenery outside the car window and sighed a little, the shuttle car had quietly stopped at the door of the hotel.

Lei Jun did the East dinner, and the hotel he chose should naturally not be too bad.

According to him, the Cantonese cuisine here is the most authentic and tastes the best.

They got out of the car, and Chen Mingyong, the boss of OPPO, was already waiting at the door of the hotel.

"Come on, let me introduce you. Lei Jun enthusiastically pulled Liu Yun and said, "This is the current helmsman of OPPO, Mr. Chen Mingyong." Of course, this person does not need me to introduce, Mr. Chen must have heard of it, it is Mr. Liu, the founder of Yoyo, Liu Yun. ”

Although in the past few years, Wu Qiang, who used to be his subordinate, has been waving a hoe to dig his corner. But if you think about it carefully, good birds choose trees to perch, the talent market is a two-way choice, your company can't keep people, you can't blame employees, and you can't blame your opponents, you can only be angry yourself.

Now, after OPPO's own business has fallen into an embarrassment, Yoyo has taken the initiative to extend an olive branch, which has never been a bright turnaround.

What's more, at this time, OPPO is still a little-known company, but it is only slightly famous in Guangdong Province.

And Chen Mingyong himself is far from being comparable to a business giant like Liu Yun, not to mention that Lei Jun is the host, he just pretended to agree to the dinner.

The reason why he showed an indignant appearance before was that he was indeed a little resentful in his heart, and second, because he wanted to occupy some moral initiative in the negotiations.

However, he has a bottom line, no matter what, even if the company goes bankrupt, he will not sell OPPO, that is his hard work.

Who is not an old fox at the helm of this old company?

This dinner, because he didn't want to make a big splash, he came alone, and there were only 5 people at the dinner table.

As the host, Lei Jun first filled the wine glass, stood up and drank it all with his head tilted.

At the beginning, Liu Yun and the others were just drinking wine and eating food leisurely, while Lei Jun enthusiastically introduced the distinctive Cantonese cuisine.

"Hey, I have to go to Yanjing to work in the future, and I will spend a lot less time here in Guangdong Province in a year. I can't eat Cantonese food as often as I do now. He held the chopsticks in his hand and suddenly sighed inexplicably.

But the corners of Liu Yun's mouth showed a light smile quietly, and he officially cut into the topic.

Chen Mingyong suddenly asked: "Mr. Lei, how is your Xiaomi company doing?"

Although the sound is not heavy, everyone can hear it in this small room.

"Everything is going well!" "Once Xiaomi is mentioned, Lei Jun is like opening the chatterbox, and it is difficult to hold it back, "In the initial stage of the company, the work has been carried out in an orderly manner. I also interviewed a few VC firms, and they showed a lot of interest, and the offer was not low. ”

"That's good. Chen Mingyong sighed lightly, "Congratulations to Mr. Lei, and I wish Mr. Lei's mobile phone dream can be realized as soon as possible." ”

In his tone, he couldn't help but have a hint of envy.

As a rising star, Xiaomi's mobile phone has been on track, and his OPPO still seems to be struggling in the quagmire.

Despite the incredible potential of the smartphone market, companies with strong economies have rushed into it to try to get a piece of the pie.

In front of OPPO is a road full of strong enemies and extremely difficult.

Lei Jun glanced at Chen Mingyong and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, I know that OPPO has been making mobile phones for a few years ago, and now it is also laying out the field of smart phones." But I would say that our two companies are not competitors.

After all, I am used to using Internet thinking to make mobile phones, and in this mode, we can cooperate for a win-win situation. ”

Liu Yun's afterglow couldn't help but glance at Lei Jun, and secretly said that this guy's ability to fool is really a must.

"Mr. Lei, even if you have a little point. But others will at least compare the products of the two companies. Chen Mingyong shook his head, trying to refute.

It's all old foxes, how can they be so easily fooled.

Liu Yun put down the cup in his hand and answered: "Two of you, the smart phone market is huge. Users do like to compare, but as long as your product is made with its own characteristics, people won't mind using it in exchange or together. ”

After a pause for a few seconds, he gave his opinion: "For example, the current Mr. Lei also uses several mobile phones in his hand. I believe that in the near future, it will not be the case for a user to have two or even three smartphones in their hands, and product differentiation and specialization will also be important. So this market is very big enough to accommodate us mobile phone manufacturers. ”

After Lei Jun heard this, although with his understanding of Liu Yun, he was very sure that this guy was probably a hole in his words, but he still said with a smile: "Yes, I think what Mr. Liu said is very reasonable!"

Chen Mingyong couldn't help but curse secretly: This old fox and young fox.

The topic of several people naturally cut into smartphones, the era of mobile Internet, and the newly opened 3G communication.

After chatting for a while, Lei Jun already had a little sense of drinking, he held the wine glass in one hand, and put the other hand on Chen Mingyong's shoulder, and asked, "By the way, Mr. Chen." Nowadays, how are your OPPO mobile phone sales?"

What else? It's almost cold.

He thought for a while and replied: "It's still in the initial stage of developing the market. I plan to establish a foothold in Guangdong Province first, and then steadily expand to the whole country. ”

At this point, Chen Mingyong deliberately glanced at Liu Yun and said in a half-joking tone: "I hope that when the time comes, Mr. Liu will leave me a little room to drink soup." ”

With OPPO's current predicament, of course, he couldn't expect that this brand of mobile phones would always be among the top three in sales in China.

After Liu Yun heard this, he shook his head, then stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, you also think too highly of me." Today's Yoyo is still a rookie in the field of mobile phones. ”

With that, he took a deep breath, looked out the window into the distance, raised his cup, and said loudly: "We are not enemies among ourselves, but we have a common enemy called Apple!"

Chen Zifeng couldn't help touching his forehead and said secretly: Every time Lao Tzu watches him act, it hurts.

But Liu Yueru held her mouth and forced herself not to laugh.

Lei Jun and Chen Mingyong glanced at each other in a bit of a daze, this scene came too suddenly. They were unprepared...... But it also seems to make sense.

After all, for a long and foreseeable period of time in the future, it will be a competition between Android and Apple phones.

After Liu Yun sat down again, he continued to talk eloquently: "Obviously, the future smart phone market will be monopolized by Android and Apple. Our top priority is not to engage in infighting ourselves, but to expand the market share of Android machines. If the pie gets bigger, even if we can only get a small piece, the benefits are very considerable. You two should be able to understand. ”

This time, Lei Jun and Chen Mingyong, the two old fritters in the shopping mall, felt for the first time that Liu Yun was not acting, or deliberately misleading them.

Lei Jun thought for a while and spoke: "Indeed, if the market share of Apple's mobile phone is too high, the little space left, even if it is monopolized by a certain company, the profit will be very small." Of course, such an assumption does not exist, not to mention the world, just in our Huaxia, there are countless Android mobile phone manufacturers. ”

Chen Mingyong sighed lightly: "Indeed, there are too many Android phone manufacturers, even in Guangdong Province. Thinking about it this way, our OPPO situation may be more difficult in the future. ”

Liu Yun glanced at Liu Yueru silently, signaling that it was her turn to appear.

"Mr. Chen, I have analyzed your OPPO mobile phone, which is actually quite distinctive. ”

"Thank you for the compliment. But I know how much our own product has. ”

Liu Yueru stroked her long hair and said, "Now your problem is the lack of funds, which leads to insufficient publicity, and many people have never heard of this brand." This can lead to a very bad outcome. ”

Chen Mingyong frowned and asked, "What is the bad result?"

Liu Yueru smiled slightly and said: "If a product's reputation is not loud enough, consumers may habitually think that it is not a regular brand. There may be many people who classify OPPO in the category of copycats. ”

Copycat machine, that is a major feature of today's Chinese electronic product market.

There is an advertising slogan like this: domestic copycat machine, that is a word, cow!

After hearing this, Chen Mingyong was also slightly stunned, and nodded silently after a while, seemingly agreeing with this view.

Liu Yunru continued: "I have analyzed that OPPO has the country's top self-built electronic product factory. Over the past few years, all of your products have been produced and sold in-house. But the era of MP3, MP4 and traditional push-button phones is over. These products are gradually being phased out, and OPPO has no new sources, and it is financially stretched to maintain such a large factory. ”

After hearing this, Chen Mingyong's face suddenly showed a gloomy color, and he raised his eyebrows lightly and asked, "It turns out that you have taken a fancy to our OPPO factory!"

He didn't notice that Liu Yun's gaze had been staring at him.

Between his eyebrows, a hint of happiness seemed to flash. Maybe he was scared that Yoyo wanted to buy the whole of OPPO. ”

Liu Yun spoke: "Mr. Chen, first of all, OPPO's factories are self-produced and sold, and they don't accept orders from outside, so the source of income is very limited, and it is likely to drag down your company's finances after a long time." ”

Chen Mingyong tried to retort: "Maybe it won't be long before I will take orders from outside." ”

Liu Yun shook his head and said with a smile: "I think Chen is always a boss with great ambitions, and he shouldn't want the company he worked so hard to build to become a low-end foundry, right? What's more, even if it is a foundry, you are sure that you can get a big order, and you can grab Foxconn, which is known as a 'sweatshop'? Or do you also hope that OPPO will become such a sweatshop?"

Chen Mingyong snorted coldly and said: "Don't compare my OPPO factory with Foxconn's low-end sweatshop." My employees are all skilled, educated, have paid five insurances and one housing fund, and their working hours are in line with the provisions of the labor law, and there will never be such a ridiculous thing as employees jumping off buildings. ”

Lei Jun interjected and said, "I believe in Mr. Chen's work ethic. But the market economy is cruel. The system of your OPPO factory, if it is only self-produced and sold, it is no problem at all, if it becomes a foundry, this model is much less efficient, and it is not competitive with companies like Foxconn. ”

Chen Mingyong was silent and couldn't refute it.

Efficiency and cheap labor are key to the success of this type of sweatshop.

What's more, even if OPPO's factory has become this type, it is not necessarily competitive, after all, the experience and qualifications of the other party are there.

Liu Yun continued to strike while the iron was hot: "Mr. Chen, we came with sincerity. If we acquire your own factory, you have enough money to continue OPPO's mobile phone dream. After all, for a mobile phone company, it is not necessary to master the production line of these products when the funds are not abundant. The same is true of Mr. Lei's Xiaomi company.

Let alone...... This is Guancheng, the capital of electronics. ”

Chen Mingyong was silent, and what Liu Yun said made him a little moved.

Without the burden of the factory and with an extra income, his funds will become abundant, and he will be able to make a big difference.

As for the foundry of mobile phones, this is Guancheng, and the streets are all over the place.

"That'...... Mr. Liu, let's talk about the price of the OPPO factory now. ”

"No problem. ”

During the conversation between the two, Liu Yueru also saw the opportunity and said: "Mr. Chen, in the era of mobile Internet, I don't think the mobile phone company can be regarded as a traditional industrial company, it can be financed like an Internet company, just like Xiaomi." Yunyue Investment is interested in financing OPPO, of course you are still at the helm, are you interested?"

Financing, like an internet company.

Chen Mingyong's heart couldn't help but pound. He has not considered this point, but he has met with several venture capital institutions, and the conditions have not been negotiated for a long time.

After all, he is not an angel investor like Lei Jun, an Internet tycoon, with so many channels.

On the other side, Lei Jun's face was gloomy.

It's not like it's okay, dig a pit together, take his factory, and then strangle OPPO.

This guy Liu Yun has defected! Or maybe he had such a calculation in mind.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yun said another sentence that almost made Lei Jun vomit blood: "Mr. Chen, let me emphasize it again." It is not Yoyo that finances OPPO, but Yunyue Investment. ”

Is there a difference between this Yunyue Investment and Yoyo?

Lei Jun suddenly thought of a rather classic sentence: What does your arrest of Zhou Shuren have to do with me Lu Xun?
