Chapter 640: Another New Era Begins
It was about six o'clock in the afternoon. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
From the side of the US imperialists, there was a message about Motorola.
The news from Motorola over there is very mysterious, only saying that the follow-up focus will be tilted towards China, and no one knows what happened, as if suddenly Motorola directors made a big decision, and it seems to have taken a fancy to China's huge market with a population of more than one billion, but now the Chinese market is still as hot as later generations, because the per capita GDP is not high, many people are still hovering on the food and clothing line, as the mobile phone as a representative of social luxury goods, go all out to enter the Chinese market? What is the meaning of this? Or what do you see from a far-sighted perspective?
For a while, countless mobile phone manufacturers began to speculate!
As the biggest competitor of the competition, Nokia is naturally the most concerned, and other mobile phone manufacturers such as South Korea's Samsung and Dongying Panasonic are also worried, because these companies want to win the Chinese market.
Not only these mobile phone companies, but also Chinese netizens who learned the news were also puzzled.
"What's going on?"
"Isn't Motorola very good in Europe and the United States?"
"Yes, it seems that there are not many people in China who can afford to use mobile phones, right? Which one of the mobile phones produced by Motorola and Nokia does not have more than 10,000?"
"Have you forgotten? Motorola launched a mobile phone of more than 8,000 yuan at the end of the year before last, and it was still in the market before the release, if I remember correctly, it happened that the old Zhang family had just helped Nokia develop a mobile phone of more than 20,000 yuan, and the last two top mobile phone manufacturers also had a wave of just a wave, but it is a pity that Motorola's mobile phone of more than 8,000 yuan is not recognized by the market, on the one hand, more than 8,000 is too expensive for our ordinary Chinese people, on the other hand, those rich people do not disdain to use such a cheap mobile phone, so Motorola's first wave of entry into our Chinese mobile phone market ended in failure, and now it is estimated that it wants to make a comebackγ β
"That's a bit like that. β
"I also think it's very similar, originally Motorola and Nokia in the international mobile phone market competition is very strong, now Nokia has gnawed our Chinese piece of the big cake, Motorola is probably a little anxious, definitely not willing to watch Nokia thrown away, so the focus on our Chinese market, the five-year plan mentioned above, I don't know what Motorola is going to do in the past five years, do you want to put the rising Nokia in the Chinese market? This is unlikely, not to mention anything else, the old Zhang family helped develop the mobile phone, and I wanted to support Nokia in my heart. β
"That's right, it's also a mobile phone developed by our Chinese. β
"Actually, how much difference is there in the use of mobile phones? It's nothing more than making calls, oh, yes, and sending messages, and what we support is a national feeling. β
"Motorola is probably thankless. β
"Not necessarily, I have five years to see what I'm going to do. β
"Five years is not enough, Nokia already occupies a large share in China. β
"You manage so many people's houses, anyway, I am reluctant to buy a mobile phone, usually the Internet is a rubbing company computer, alas, mobile phones, a symbol of the rich, when will the old Zhang family develop the cheapest mobile phone in history!"
β¦β¦
It's dark outside.
Just after dinner, Zhang Wei and his father went upstairs to discuss for a while, and then his father went to take a bath.
At this moment, a call came in from Katie, deputy director of Motorola China.
"Hey, is that Mr. Zhang?" said Katie, in Mandarin.
Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, and asked the person who came to Qinglai, and then said: "It turned out to be Ms. Katie, my dad went to take a bath, is there anything wrong with you?"
Katie hesitated for a while, "Did you know that our Motorola announced a big news today?"
"What's the big news?" Zhang Wei sat in the chair in his parents' bedroom, stood up and walked to the side of the bed.
Katie explained the matter again, and then said, "I want to talk to your family about cooperation, can I meet your dad?"
"Okay, I'll tell him when I get out of the shower, when is the appointment? Where is the place?" Zhang Wei asked clearly, and he was a little strange in his heart, how did Motorola come to the door?
Katie was silent for a long time over there, and then tried to say: "Your companies are all Fortune 500 in the world, and I don't know if you will agree, but please meet with me and then say, can you come to Zhigu tomorrow? Our Motorola has the largest R&D base in China over there, and you may also meet some acquaintances, all of whom I dug from Kejian, and everyone really wants to meet you and your father, can you come tomorrow?"
As soon as Zhang Wei heard the words R&D base, he immediately knew it.
Katie over there seemed to be afraid that he would refuse, so she hurriedly said: "It's decided first, I'm really sorry to let you come from the magic capital, but I can't help it because of some special circumstances, please forgive me." β
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Wei didn't directly refuse, decided to go and see it tomorrow, and asked the actual location before hanging up the phone.
At this moment, the footsteps of my parents were heard outside.
The door was pushed open, and Zhang Wei saw his father wearing a nightgown, and his mother didn't know what to say over there.
Zhang Wei raised his head and said, "Dad, go to Zhigu with me tomorrow, the Motorola R&D base is over there." β
Cheng Lin was dissatisfied: "Motorola?"
"Maybe we can talk about some cooperation matters, tonight Dad, you go to bed early, and tomorrow we will get up early. Zhang Wei stood up and prepared to walk out, "Good thing." β
Cheng Lin was still not very happy, "I remember when you helped Nokia develop a mobile phone, and Motorola also developed a bottom-price mobile phone sniper, right? What kind of cooperation did we talk about with Motorola, if the sniper was really successful at that time, our family's reputation would be ruined, do you remember? Although it is a small thing, but I have always remembered it in my heart, how much pressure did I have to develop that mobile phone for Nokia at that time? In my opinion, don't talk about any cooperation!"
Zhang Wei looked at her and said with a smile: "Isn't this the last thing to kill the other party? Now we are cooperating with the other party as the winner, this posture is not high?"
Cheng Lin said angrily: "You are justified everywhere!"
Zhang Wei said helplessly: "Do you think there are other mobile phone companies willing to cooperate with us? Seeing that the term of our contract with Nokia is not long, if we can't complete it, we won't have to lose money, are you willing?"
As soon as he heard that he was going to lose money, Cheng Lin immediately blinked and said, "Ouch, why don't you father and son stop sleeping, fly to the capital overnight, and then go to Zhigu early tomorrow?"
Zhang Wei: "......"
Zhang Aiguo: "......"
Alas, my mother is good at everything, but she is too picky about money.
"You sleep at home, let me and Xiaowei toss overnight?" Zhang Aiguo waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't say it, go to bed early, and get up tomorrow to go to Zhigu." β
In fact, Zhang Wei didn't really want to cooperate with foreign mobile phone manufacturers, and it would be best if he could maintain cooperation with Kejian, but unfortunately, Kejian finally gave up. After all, there is a deadline in the contract, three years to develop three mobile phones, seeing that this year is the third year, there are still two mobile phones that have not been developed, of course, the development is not in vain, just like the dual-band technology has now arrived, and Nokia's smartphone system has also arrived, and after the contract expires, they can enter the mobile phone market.
What is missing now is to find a mobile phone manufacturer to develop mobile phones together, but Zhang Wei is not clear whether Motorola is willing to develop mobile phones for competitors, these will not be known until tomorrow, but the other party took the initiative to call, should agree, what is the purpose of it is not clear, and it has nothing to do with their own home, now the top priority is to develop the mobile phone, and then end the contract with Nokia as soon as possible.
No matter what, Zhang Wei knew that Maria was very good to his family, and there was another one, it was normal for Motorola to snipe Nokia, and there was no competition between peers before there was a ghost, after figuring it out, he didn't say much, turned around and walked towards the bedroom.
Get a good night's sleep tonight.
Tomorrow, maybe a new era begins!
