Chapter 168: Direction of Development

In a bar in the 1912 block, Lu Yan and Zhou Xiaoqing, who had gone home to change clothes, sat in a booth and drank.

Lu Yan asked for Carlsberg beer, he has never liked to drink white wine, and he has a general feeling about red wine and cocktails. Only drink two drinks during socializing, which is more casual.

Zhou Xiaoqing ordered a blue margaret, a blue color, which is easy to remind people of Qiongzhou, Maldives and other resorts.

In fact, Zhou Xiaoqing really wanted to take a break for a while.

When she came out of the sales office, she began to talk about some recent things about her family. It's nothing more than her out-of-tune brother, who loses money and plays with women or something.

It's just a cliché, but she recently suddenly discovered that in her father's heart, her brother is still the most important, no matter how good she is.

Finally, I sighed with emotion, fortunately, we are not fighting for the throne, otherwise I really dare not think about the future.

Lu Yan didn't know how to comfort him, so he just said, "So you want to start your own business?"

"It's just that all of a sudden I'm bored and don't want to get involved in those things anymore!"

"Your family is one of the top 100 private enterprises in this province!"

"So what, my dad doesn't want me to take over at all, so I might as well just come out. How much he will share with me in the future is all what he thinks!"

Lu Yan was not easy to persuade this girl, and regained the confidence to win the family property, and the two of them remained silent until they went back to change their clothes and came to the bar.

"What are your plans for in the future? You can't keep trading stocks, right?" Zhou Xiaoqing took a sip of cocktail and looked up and asked.

"Of course it can't be, I'm still thinking about the future!"

"What did you think of? Don't hide it!"

"I want to make a mobile phone!"

"Mobile phone?" Zhou Xiaoqing was stunned when she heard this, and said: "This line of work is more powerful than real estate competition, right? Nokia, Samsung, and Motorola are all hegemon-level opponents, and almost all of our domestic mobile phone brands have become copycats!"

Lu Yan suddenly thought of Lu Ziqiao's line, "Phelps' special cottage waterproof machine, cottage machine, it's a cow!"

But he smiled: "Who said that copycat machines have no future!"

In 19 years, Xiaomi's ninth anniversary employee celebration, Rebus said when he came to Xiaomi's development process: Xiaomi's greatest significance is that through nine years of efforts, it has eliminated China's copycat mobile phones, and now all the copycat mobile phones on the market have disappeared.

But this sentence is actually one-sided, because this "elimination" is limited to the domestic market.

In fact, China's copycat machines have not only not disappeared, but have become stronger, because they have not disappeared, but have embarked on the road of "going abroad" for development, and have achieved good results.

For example, in Africa, the hegemon of the mobile phone market is not Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, but a mobile phone company called Transsion.

According to IDC2018 data, Transsion mobile phones accounted for 34.9% of the smartphone market in Africa in the third quarter, and obtained a whopping 58.2% of the feature phone market share, making it a well-deserved "king of Africa".

In other words, how this company is successful is to take into account the needs of local users, rather than being as arrogant as some big-name manufacturers.

Africans love to sing and dance, so Transsion has turned up the sound of the speakers in the design, with built-in music software and a large amount of music that meets the preferences of the locals.

And because Africans have dark skin tones, it is difficult to recognize faces when taking photos at night, so Transsion mobile phones have improved the front camera.

After that, according to the skin characteristics of Africans, a beautification effect was developed for them, which can be said to have contributed to the hegemony of Transsion mobile phones in Africa.

In addition to Transsion, there is also a mobile phone manufacturer that is good at "imitation", which has also achieved good results overseas by constantly borrowing the designs of other mobile phone manufacturers, it is the famous domestic copycat brand - Elephant mobile phone, known as Elephone in English.

The "copycat" of this manufacturer can be described as "frenzied", which can be felt from the names of the products it launches: ELEPHONES7, ELEPHONES8...... ElephoneC1Max and many more.

Like Transsion, Elephone directly aimed at overseas markets, and achieved great success in overseas markets through its high cost performance and imitation of first-line brand designs.

According to a report by AH, a well-known foreign technology media in 2018, among the top ten most popular Chinese-made mobile phones overseas, Elephone has two on the list, while Huawei and Meizu have only one mobile phone on the list.

Therefore, the mobile phone market is still promising, whether it is a domestic or foreign market.

What's more, the future domestic mobile phone overlord, Xiaomi is not born, Huawei start-up, OPPE and vivo are all on the way to ride, and the mobile phone market is still promising.

But Zhou Xiaoqing can't see this, he only knows that Lenovo, the overlord of the computer industry, is not developing well when making mobile phones across borders, and he is really not particularly confident in what Lu Yan said.

Asked: "Now the high-end and high-end markets are occupied by Nokia and Samsung, and the low-end market is a domestic copycat machine, where is the way out?"

Lu Yan smiled: "But the market will become, now it is 2G, and mobile phones are basically making calls and sending text messages." In the 3G era, the network is faster, and there are more things that can be done. The mobile phone also needs to make progress. ”

"Are you talking about smartphones?" Zhou Xiaoqing took out a Nokia N93i from his pocket and sighed: "To be honest, I really don't think it's easy to use!"

Lu Yan smiled: "That's because the system doesn't work, and the screen is not big enough!"

"Then I hope that you will make a good mobile phone as soon as possible!"

Zhou Xiaoqing smiled, took another sip of the wine in the glass, ran her hair with her hand, and said: "Actually, what I am most familiar with is the real estate industry, from taking land, to designing, building houses, and selling houses. Actually, I want the two of us to build a company together and make it bigger! Do you believe me?"

Lu Yan smiled, "Of course I believe it!"

"You don't believe it!" Zhou Xiaoqing shook her head, as if she was a little drunk, "The mobile phone industry is fiercely competitive, and the future is uncertain." In terms of real estate, I have private money, you also have funds, and we are also familiar with the process, which is equivalent to copying the ...... of past projects!"

Zhou Xiaoqing was a little vague in the end, and then her eyes were dull, and her reaction became slower!

"Forget it, I'll send you back!"

"It's okay, I'll just rest for a while, let's go to the bathroom first!"

Lu Yan saw that she was walking a little shaky, and at the same time worried about her safety, so he carried her to the bathroom, and then stood at the door and waited.

Not long after the clinker, a girl who came out of it suddenly pointed at Lu Yan and said, "Hey, Lu Yan, why are you there, you are waiting ......!"

is Ruan Xiaoxiao's roommate, Xiao Mengyao.

The 1912 block is not far from the Central University, and some students who like nightlife and are not short of money often come here to play.
