Chapter 433: Lenovo and Huawei's mobile phone cooperation request
Due to the strong rise of Cegrain mobile phones, the mobile phone market has been turned upside down. Therefore, some first- and second-tier mobile phone manufacturers have to change their strategies. Those who have the strength to invest in the research and development of smart phones, such as Nokia and Motorola.
If the strength is slightly weaker, they choose to take advantage of the trend and send representatives to negotiate cooperation with the company. Want to spend money on their core processors, but also systems, as well as touch screens and so on.
In this way, they will not be obsolete by the times, and they can quickly create their own brand of smartphones. So as to enter the market and get a piece of the pie.
There are many mobile phone manufacturers that take this route, and South Korea's Sanx is one of them. Including domestic Lenovo, Huawei and other brands, they have sent cooperation requests to Mawei Group.
It's just that, according to someone's meaning, like the mobile phone companies in South Korea, let them develop their own smart phones. Anyway, according to the memory of the previous life, the most important thing for Koreans is to engage in industrial chain integration. To put it simply, it is to purchase the technology authorization of advanced enterprises, and then take the strategy of small profits and quick turnover, so as to minimize the energy consumption of each link. in order to seek the most efficient profits.
"Chairman Ma Wei, this is the list of cooperation requests we have received recently. According to your meaning, the invitation to cooperate in country Z, many of our family are listed on the list. ”
Sergei, the president of the Grain Song Company, personally sent an email to Mavi. All of the above are the cooperation invitations that the company has received in the past 3 or 4 months.
Ma Wei opened the email casually, and suddenly the list showed many mobile phone brands that he was familiar with in his previous life. Lenovo, Sony, HTC, Triple X and many more. All want to get on the big ship of Cereal, and not be subverted under the tsunami of the times.
After reading the list, Ma Wei replied directly in the email, "Arrange it and talk about cooperation with Huawei." ”
Among all the business names, Ma Wei naturally chooses the one with the most potential to negotiate long-term cooperation. In his previous life, Huawei rose to the point that the United States restricted him in every way. Not only did the United stop supplying core processors, but even many channels were closed to him.
If Ma Wei remembers correctly, the reason why Huawei has risen strongly. In addition to the domestic demographic dividend and national support, there is also an overseas Chinese who has been developing processors in Qualcomm for 20 years, and after mastering all the core technologies, he took his team to return to China to serve.
In the previous life, Qualcomm has always been a supplier of mobile phone brands such as Huawei, Lenovo, and Xiaomi. Its Xiaolong processor is difficult to be surpassed by other peers. But after that, the R&D team of the old overseas Chinese, the processor they developed, in some technical aspects, has completely surpassed the Xiaolong processor.
In this life, Ma Wei acquired Qualcomm in advance. Then he also knew that the old overseas Chinese who had worked in Qualcomm for more than 20 years would definitely leave one day. After all, both Americans and Russians are foreigners in their eyes.
So instead of passively waiting for that day, it is better to cooperate with Huawei in advance. Anyway, the Apple mobile phone in this life has not yet shown signs of emerging. And Ma Wei's Singing mobile phone will not be controlled by the U.S. government {many core technology R&D centers and factory production lines are not in the United States}.
Not long after the email was replied, I immediately received a reply from Sergeil, "Okay, Chairman Ma Wei, I'll send someone to contact you." ”
At the same time, on the other side of the ocean, Wang Yuan, President of Huawei Technologies Mobile Phone Co., Ltd., Li Zhi, Vice President, and a group of key employees of the company sat around the conference table to discuss the future development of the company.
Huawei Technologies Mobile Phone Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huawei Group, which was founded just this year. This is also an important step for Huawei Group to explore the field of mobile phones from optical fiber and cable and communication equipment business. Therefore, the leaders of the head office are also very concerned about the development of the subsidiary.
"Xiao Zhao, haven't we received a reply to the cooperation invitation we sent to the grain song company yet? It's been more than a month, right?" Wang Yuan, the president, asked his subordinates with some concern.
To say that the Huawei mobile phone company in this life was just established in 2003. At the beginning of its establishment, that is, last year, the strategic policies formulated by the group headquarters were all around non-smart machines. That is, similar to cooperating with Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola and other mobile phone brands to develop the market.
But when the subsidiary was established, the senior executives of Huawei Group and the backbone of the subsidiary suddenly found that the entire mobile phone industry had undergone earth-shaking changes because of Ma Wei's Cereal Song mobile phone!
This change can completely disrupt Huawei's overall plan. As a result, they had to make adjustments as soon as possible! Including the mobile phone production lines under construction, parts processing, and assembly plants, all of which had to be temporarily stopped. Otherwise, it will go in the opposite direction entirely......
"Mr. Wang, on the side of the grain company, we have not received a reply. Including the headquarters of the group, it also entrusted the Russian state telecommunications department to try to get in touch. But it seems that in the end, it all fell into the sea, and there has been no news so far. The male subordinate sitting at the conference table replied helplessly.
Since 1998, Huawei Group has signed a contract with the Russian state telecommunications department for the supply of tens of millions of dollars for GSM equipment. Then, at the end of 2002, it obtained an order for 3,797 kilometers of ultra-long-distance national optical transmission trunk lines. So the relationship between the two sides is not bad.
It's just that although the Ministry of Telecommunications of Russia is subordinate to state-owned enterprises. But compared with Ma Wei's ma V group, both in terms of volume and level, it is more than one and a half stars behind.
The simple summary is that unless Mavi himself is willing, even the Russian State Ministry of Telecommunications will send a representative. Nor could the Mavi Group be instructed to do anything.
After listening to the male subordinate's answer, the atmosphere in the entire conference room gradually cooled down again. The cessation of the construction of the production line and the inability to expand the layout have caused a big crisis for Huawei Technology Mobile Phone Company.
At present, in the global market, only Mawei's Cereal Song mobile phone can produce a smart mobile phone that consumers love. And it is still in short supply, and it is the kind that is sold out as soon as it is listed.
Therefore, any mobile phone manufacturer with a little foresight knows that smartphones are the future of the industry. Who dares to go against such a trend, and in the end they will be absolutely destroyed to the point that there is not even a scum left.
"Mr. Wang, as far as I know, brands such as South Korea's Sanx, LG, and Sony have not received a clear answer from Cereal. So I think we should ...... Or wait?" said Vice President Li Zhi at the meeting.
In fact, there was a sentence that he held back and didn't say it, for fear of hitting everyone's confidence. That is, "Maybe a big company like Grain Song looks down on a new company like them." So let alone cooperation, I didn't even bother to reply. ”
