The two-year contract is 4oo chips per year, a total of 8oo chips, and the total value is as high as 1. The $2.4 billion purchase order is the nectar after a long drought for Scopa's chip factory. Of course, it is impossible for Zhou Liwen to pay the full amount in one go, according to the negotiation between the two parties, the purchaser will purchase with Scopa in the form of monthly settlement, but even so, plus the working capital and the cost of production and sales of the factory, Zhou Liwen also has to prepare nearly 1ooo US dollars, which almost spent the last penny that Zhou Liwen got from the financial market.

But these are all worth it, how big the mobile phone market is, and how terrifying its profits are, I'm afraid Zhou Liwen knows better than anyone else in the world. And with the good operation of Guo's hematopoietic machine, he was not worried about the shortage of funds in a short period of time, and when the product was launched, other problems were solved.

As for Scopa's CEO Div, although the business did not go as well as he expected, it at least greatly alleviated Scopa's predicament. With this order, there will be no more problems in maintaining the chip factory, and if a series of other business revenues from Scopa's headquarters are added, Scopa's financial situation can be alleviated. At a time when the high-tech industry has been hit hard, Div, as the CEO, has done his best, and even thinks that even a different person can't do better than himself.

But Deve didn't be happy for long, and just as he was trembling, thinking that he had finally snatched the deal from Cisco, an unexpected news left him dumbfounded.

On the third day of the signing of the contract between Zhou Liwen and Scopa, Cisco announced that they had reached a technology exchange agreement with a high-tech company in the Far East, which will greatly enhance Cisco's technological leadership in the field of network storage and communication systems, and through negotiations with the other party, the two sides also confirmed that they will work together to open a system software platform ...... dedicated to mobile phones.

"Made! Fooled! It was only then that Diff suddenly realized. After a long time, Zhou Liwen and Cisco hooked up in private, and the purpose was not in chip manufacturing, but in other plans. And Zhou Liwen also cleverly used Div's illusion to make the other party think that he and Cisco were talking about the same project cooperation. What annoyed Div even more was that he would believe it and was worried that the contract would be snatched away by Cisco, so he had no choice but to give in, causing the company to suffer unnecessary losses.

15。 $5! Div's heart hurt as if he had been cut by a knife. You must know that for every $1 difference, the company reduced its profit by 8oo, and Div's bottom line was 17. $5, that's a full $160,000. Such a huge profit was actually given up by him, and he was so depressed that he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

Just when Div hid in the office and regretted it, stomping his feet and scolding Zhou Liwen for being a shameless liar, Zhou Liwen had already left Silicon Valley and boarded the flight back to China.

Zhou Liwen is not worried about Div's knowledge of his cooperation with Cisco. This matter will eventually be revealed, and it is only a matter of time before Div knows the truth. But business is business, the contract is in hand, Zhou Liwen is not afraid that Scopal will regret it, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, this transaction Scopag is not only a loss but also profitable, not to mention that Scopa also needs this order to relieve financial pressure. Second, since the laws of the United States are sound, Scopa simply cannot afford to break the contract. The black and white paper is there, no matter how angry Div is, he can only produce chips for Zhou Liwen according to the contract.

With the imminent elimination of 2G mobile phones, the era of new smart phones, that is, 3G mobile phones, is coming, and the mobile phone market is no longer as before only by brand, shape design and hardware to win, and the role of its software will become more and more important, and even affect whether a mobile phone product is suitable for market survival.

To take the simplest example, it is the mobile phone giant Nokia. Nokia, once alone, was undoubtedly the most powerful mobile phone overlord on the planet, but at its most glorious time, it went into decline in a way that shocked the world. Although there were various mistakes in decision-making in Nokia's failure, the vast majority of people who have studied why Nokia's business empire has fallen basically agree that the main willingness of this once dominant business empire to fall is to cling to its monopoly system, the Symbian system, in an attempt to dominate the market, and thus be ruthlessly abandoned by consumers, and finally go to the road of extinction.

On April 25, 2o14, Nokia officially announced its withdrawal from the mobile phone market by selling its mobile phone business to Microsoft. It is a pity that a multinational company that once occupied the largest share of the mobile phone market and was the world's largest mobile phone brand closed in this way.

To tell the truth, Nokia's mobile phones are indeed good mobile phones, durable, stable, and not badly designed. Just like the mobile phone that Zhou Liwen is using now is also Nokia's, the previous mobile phone that smashed the other party's head with a brick when he was fighting with someone is also Nokia, if it weren't for the deformation of the shell caused by too much force, and the blood stains coagulated in the gap are really inconvenient to continue to use, Zhou Liwen is reluctant to replace the original mobile phone, because even so, that question, try to ask which brand of mobile phone can achieve such quality.

However, after the advent of smartphones, Nokia misjudged the market and thought it had the largest share, trying to dominate the world using the exclusive Symbian system. But they didn't think that an open system was the way out for smartphones, and engaging in a closed system, or even charging fees to companies that open the software, was a way to bring about their own destruction.

Because of this, Nokia failed, and its defeat was in the system. Of course, Zhou Liwen, who plays the role of reborn, will not follow in the footsteps of Nokia, he knows very well that the future is the world of smart phones, and the biggest advantage of smart phones is its open system and platform.

IOS and Android, these are the two most famous mobile phone system platforms in later generations, the former is owned by Apple, and the latter is GOOG1E. It can be said that when the Nokia empire collapsed, almost all mobile phones on the market were these two systems, and the two competed with each other for the market, forming a situation of two heroes.

There is a reason why Zhou Liwen cooperated with Cisco, although the owner of the IOS system is Apple, but in fact, it is really opened by Cisco. The two systems cannot be said to be better, but can only be said to have their own advantages and strengths. But in terms of Zhou Liwen's personal hobbies, he prefers the Ios system platform, but in his era, the ownership of the Ios system belongs to Apple, and the mobile phone that uses this system is only Apple. However, Apple has taken advantage of the Ios system and Jobs' unique marketing ideas to account for half of the market, which is enough to prove the power of the Ios system platform.

Of course, the iOS system also has its flaws, just like Microsoft's system, with various patches and upgrades. Moreover, although Apple has opened up the software platform of the iOS system, it has not made any concessions in the use of the mobile phone system, which also makes other brands of mobile phones can only use the Android system.

Zhou Liwen cooperated with Cisco this time, reached an agreement on technology exchange, and is ready to cooperate to open the Ios system. Unlike Apple, Zhou Liwen does not have the idea of monopolizing the Ios system mobile phone, and he is ready to fully license the Ios system to various mobile phone brands and even use it for free. Coupled with the open software platform of the Ios system, as long as the smartphone appears, Zhou Liwen can sweep the world with this system.

This trick is actually not surprising to put it bluntly, because Microsoft's Bill did just that. Zhou Liwen's small plate is just picking up people's teeth, but the road to success is not impossible to copy, as long as the bet wins, Zhou Liwen will be the second Bill, even if he loses, Zhou Liwen will not have any loss, at most, it is just like with later generations, Ios and Android or other systems that may appear to compete for the world.

Thinking of this, Zhou Liwen, who was sitting on the plane, couldn't help but laugh, he was so happy, Pang Yishan, who was sitting next to him and was sleeping, woke up.

Unbuckling the seat belt, Pang Yishan stretched his body, looked at Zhou Liwen who was smiling, and asked him puzzledly what he wanted to be so happy.

"Say, is Div greeting our elders right now?" Zhou Liwen joked.

Pang Yishan was happy when he heard it, shook his head and smiled: "It's hard to say, but I think it's very likely." ”

"I think so too." Zhou Liwen winked playfully, and the two laughed at the same time.

Like the outbound trip, their plane went straight to Xiangjiang Airport. Liao Yuancheng did not travel with Zhou Liwen, because he still had some technical exchanges on the Cisco side and needed him to stay in the United States. After completing the chip production and obtaining cooperation intentions with Cisco, Zhou Liwen was in a good mood. According to the purchase agreement, the first batch of chips is expected to arrive in the southeast in 2 months, and if it is a qiē shun lì, his first official mobile phone will be produced from the assembly line within 3 months.

This time he returned to China, Zhou Liwen mainly dealt with many tasks, one is production, the other is sales, and the third and most important is the license of the telecommunications department, or access qualifications. Regarding this matter, although the Academy of Sciences promised to help get through the link, there was no news after such a long time. This couldn't help but make Zhou Liwen a little uneasy, so he was going to follow up on this matter after he went back, and try his best to solve this most important problem.

The plane landed at Xiangjiang Airport, and Zhou Liwen and Pang Yishan broke up. Zhou Liwen transferred directly at the airport and rushed back to Huacheng, and after arriving in Huacheng, he took his car to pick up himself and went to the research institute. When Zhou Liwen arrived at the institute by car, the car had just stopped in front of the building, and before Zhou Liwen, who pushed the door and got out of the car, he heard a shout from behind, and looked back, before he could recognize who shouted at him, the other party rushed up and scolded: "Zhou Liwen!" You bastard! ”
