Late January, New Year's Eve.

Liu Yun met his old classmate Chen Zifeng and Wu Qiang, the head of a mobile phone company, at a private mountain villa in Shanghai.

At the beginning, Chen Zifeng rushed directly to Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, and tried his best to dig Wu Qiang from OPPO to Youyou.

But since that time, this guy seems to have disappeared, and Wu Qiang has never seen him again.

He had always been curious about Chen Zifeng's position in the Youyou system, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

After hearing this, Chen Zifeng smiled bitterly and showed an exaggerated expression, and said, "Mr. Wu, you are torturing me." Mr. Chen, Chen's swelling is almost the same, swollen and swollen. I'm the little guy who runs errands for Mr. Liu. ”

Wu Qiang naturally won't believe his nonsense, this kid is full of running trains.

Liu Yun said with a smile: "Manager Wu, don't listen to this guy's nonsense, the person in charge of our Yoyo series mobile phone production factory is his father." ”

"No wonder, they are all surnamed Chen. ”

Liu Yun asked Chen Zifeng again: "You first evaluate the experience of this YOYO 1 smart phone." ”

Now there is still more than a month before the official release of this YOYO 1 mobile phone, and several finished products have been produced piecemeal.

Technicians conduct tests, look for problems, and fix them in a timely manner.

At this time, Chen Zifeng was holding a YOYO 1 mobile phone that had just taken shape.

Its shape is exactly the same as the picture of Liu Yun's mobile phone that Liu Yun put on Weibo a few days ago.

In Liu Yun's eyes, the screen size of this mobile phone seems a bit small, after all, his vision has long been adapted to a mobile phone with a 5-6 inch screen.

But in the eyes of Wu Qiang and Chen Zifeng, a screen of this size is an eye-opener.

"The screen is big and comfortable to watch. Chen Zifeng looked at the mobile phone for a while and said, "If you have used this mobile phone for a period of time, and then use the traditional button mobile phone, you will have a sense of visual discomfort." ”

"And its pixels, although there are a lot of gaps with real cameras, but they are a big improvement over previous mobile phones. ”

Liu Yun looked at the new phone and said: "What I'm worried about is whether the sensitivity and durability of the smartphone will be affected because it has transitioned from a metal pen touch screen to today's finger touch screen." ”

Wu Qiang answered: "It depends on who you compare with?"

Liu Yun raised his eyebrows lightly and listened to him continue.

"First of all, from a metal pen to a finger touchscreen, it's an improvement. ”

Liu Yun nodded approvingly.

Wu Qiang paused for a moment and continued: "First of all, the object of our comparison is HTC, which is the same kind of Android machine. They plan to launch a new second-generation smartphone, HTC G2, in the future. From the configuration analysis, our YOYO 1 can completely crush the other party, and in terms of pricing, we can completely be slightly cheaper than the other party. ”

Liu Yun said indifferently: "The pricing doesn't have to be cheaper than them, but we have to keep an eye on it." If HTC adopts two prices in Taiwan and the mainland, we will contact the major media behind the scenes, make a big fuss about this, and keep the pricing of our phones in line with the pricing of the other party in Taiwan. ”

"This is a good way!" Wu Qiang couldn't help but admire, "I think it's more likely that HTC will adopt this policy, after all, they want to please local users and cultivate their sense of superiority." ”

"If they're going to dig their own graves, that's fine. A playful smile appeared on the corner of Liu Yun's mouth, "But there is another possibility to consider." Once the pricing in Taiwan and mainland China is the same, we will adopt the same pricing as theirs for employment. ”

Wu Qiang looked puzzled and asked, "Mr. Liu, this ......?"

"If we are selling the same phone, a price war is necessary," Liu said. But two different products, a lot of times, it's not the price the lower the better. If our Yoyo mobile phone is cheaper than HTC, it will be weaker than the other party in terms of momentum, and the default product quality of our products is not as good as that of the other party. ”

"Makes sense. Wu Qiang thought for a while and said, "Mr. Liu, you are still thoughtful." ”

Liu Yun said: "The price is the same, then it depends on the reputation and quality, this is a tough confrontation, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road." ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, his expression became serious, and said: "I have poached a lot of talents in communication equipment from OPPO and even Huawei, and almost all of Yoyo's profits have been smashed into it in the past few years." If I can't even do a single HTC, then I'd better quit the industry as soon as possible, so as to save money and continue to burn money. ”

As long as the timeline comes to next year 2010, or even the second half of this year, the advantages and potential of the Android system will be fully released, and the systems of Symbian and Microsoft will be defeated one after another, and countless mobile phone manufacturers will flock to it.

If HTC can't compete, even if Samsung is fooled by him and is obsessed with the bada system developed by itself, there are still future giants like Huawei and Xiaomi.

What do Yoyo do against them, let alone the Big Mac, Apple.

Although it is said that from the analysis of price and user group positioning, the main opponent of Android is still Android machine, and only a small number of high-end machines will compete with iPhone mobile phones.

Wu Qiang understood that the boss had given a death order that only success was allowed, and failure was not allowed.

Chen Zifeng, who was silent on the side, suddenly said: "Mr. Liu, have you considered the problem of mobile phone traffic?"

Liu Yun was slightly stunned, and then replied: "I thought that the mobile phone traffic would increase, but I didn't think deeply about this problem. ”

In fact, in the early stage of smartphones, the traffic consumption is not serious.

He still remembers his previous life, he bought the first smart phone in his life in early 2011, when WeChat was not available, and the place where this mobile phone can use traffic is QQ chat, and browsing the web.

At that time, Liuyun's monthly mobile phone traffic was 100M, which was basically enough.

Therefore, in the early stage of smart phones, traffic is never the first thing to consider, not to mention the ubiquitous wireless network.

Chen Zifeng nodded by default and continued: "Okay, let's not consider the issue of traffic for the time being. I've used HTC's mobile phone, it will have a lot of programs will run in the background, even if the consumption of data is not a big problem, but after a long time, it will cause the system to run stuck, even if you quit with one click, there will be some problems. ”

Liu Yun smiled indifferently, turned his head to Wu Qiang and smiled: "HTC went ahead and helped us test the advantages and disadvantages of the Android system first. You are right, I have already discussed it with Mr. Wu, and the Yoyo security guard that comes with the mobile phone is designed to solve this problem. ”

"Does it work?"

"How long do you think a mobile phone will last today?"

"It's been two years, and there are also electronics enthusiasts who change it every year, like me. ”

"For about a year and a half, I can keep the new smartphone running normally. ”

Chen Zifeng thought for a while and said, "It's almost, there are no other problems for the time being." ”

Wu Qiang, who was on the side, seemed to suddenly remember something, so he asked, "Mr. Liu, there is one more thing." Now the two microblogs of Yoyo and Tencent are in full swing, and we have also developed a microblog based on the Android system, do you want to use it as the factory-owned software of the mobile phone?"

It's a trivial matter, and you don't need to ask your boss. But Liu Yunqian told me that YOYO 1 can only have 3 mobile phone software, Yoyo Security Guard, YOYO Music, and Youxin, which is temporarily confidential and has not been announced.

Wu Qiang thought very simply, he was going to give Weibo an assist.

Without the two people beside him noticing, a complicated expression flashed on Liu Yun's face.

"No, I'm worried that the hardware configuration will not be able to withstand and affect the user experience. With little hesitation, he made his decision.

"But, Mr. Liu?" Wu Qiang was still puzzled, but Liu Yun shook his hand, indicating that the matter was severe, and this was a relief in advance.

Chen Zifeng, who was on the other side, glanced at Liu Yun with complicated eyes, moved his mouth slightly, and did not make a sound.

He thought that at the beginning, it was Liu Yun who secretly let him secretly leak the news that they were developing Weibo to Tencent, and deliberately let the negative news of Tieba expand the word and part ways with Baidu.

"What the hell does he think, is Weibo just a bait, and what is his ultimate goal?"
