Chapter 960 - Supporting Domestic Goods
"Lenovo has obtained the approval of the National Development and Reform Commission and officially entered the mobile phone industry! According to a person familiar with the matter, Lenovo President Liu Chuanzhi wanted to invest 10 billion yuan to introduce a mobile phone production line, and after two months of fierce negotiations, he finally succeeded in convincing the company's board of directors. The person familiar with the matter also revealed that Lenovo is not operating alone this time, but cooperating with a very powerful company in the industry, and mobile phone products will be sold all over the world in addition to being sold in mainland China. -- An article by a special commentator on the well-known financial website Hexun.com.
Following the first report of Hexun.com, soon well-known domestic professional financial websites such as East Wealth, Groom Finance, Phoenix Finance and so on expressed their opinions.
The vast majority of the media believe that Lenovo's entry into the mobile phone industry is a certainty, but they are skeptical of the content of the news on Hexun.com, thinking that Lenovo has hoped to enter the mobile phone industry for many years, but has been suppressed by Liu Chuanzhi, and now Liu Chuanzhi has changed his mind, only need to mention the idea, the board of directors will definitely support 100%, how can it be that he has heated negotiations with the board of directors?
Moreover, the investment of 10 billion yuan is already a considerable amount, although Lenovo has money, it will not be such a toss, right? It's unbelievable that they are also listed companies on the Hong Kong stock market, super-large state-owned enterprises, and everything they do has to be subject to the dual supervision of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the National Development and Reform Commission.
In addition, the scope of "a very powerful company in the industry" is too wide, not to say whether it is a domestic enterprise or a foreign company, if it is Lenovo's acquisition of a foreign mobile mechanism zuò business, the term "quite powerful" seems vague. What does it mean to be quite powerful?
Several companies in Japan are very powerful, and in addition to Samsung, South Korea also has LG. There are more in Europe and the United States, and Lenovo has even acquired IBM's notebook industry. No one would be surprised to say that they had acquired Motorola's mobile phone division this time.
Everyone agrees that since Haier and Longteng have joined forces to develop Android smartphones, then Lenovo will definitely not be stupid to continue to make keyboard mobile phones, so the world's worth of Lenovo's acquisition, and the strength of the smartphone company, only BlackBerry, these old European and American powerhouses, maybe it's really Motorola.
In the midst of different opinions, the time came to October 28, at the Beijing headquarters of Lenovo in Zhongguancun, Beijing. A grand press conference was held.
The specifications of this press conference are very high, the National Development and Reform Commission came to a director, the Ministry of Electronic Information Industry came to a vice minister, the Beijing City appointed a party leader, the municipal government came to a deputy mayor directly under the management, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Lenovo Group leadership team almost all attended, CCTV interviewed the whole video, and the media units that set up offices in the capital came to more than 200 large and small. Google Video Network can also offer online video viewing.
After the leaders sat down in turn, the main management personnel of Lenovo also took their seats, and the last ones to come on the field were Liu Chuanzhi and Yang Yun, who were very polite. Walking almost next to each other, still talking and laughing or something, attentive people noticed. Yang Yun's seat is not a guest seat, but a partner area that is almost equal to Liu Chuanzhi!
"It turned out to be him!"
"Lenovo's partner turned out to be Longteng!"
"Oh my God! I really didn't expect it. I really didn't expect it! ”
Before the press conference began, the venue was already boiling. The "very powerful enterprise in the industry" that cooperates with Lenovo Group turns out to be Longteng Entertainment Game Company!
"Join forces, I'm afraid this world is going to change!" Many Chinese IT industry media have a huge sense of shock in their hearts, and they dare not imagine what kind of results will be produced by the two giants of China's IT industry joining forces.
"Oh buy karma! The global mobile phone industry will be occupied by Chinese in less than five years! This is the cry in the hearts of the vast majority of European and American IT industry media.
"I don't understand, I don't understand...... What is Longteng doing? They developed the iPhone themselves, turned around and supported Haier, and now what moths do you want to develop with Lenovo? Some people who know something about the gaming and mobile phone industries shook their heads.
But the content of the press conference almost shocked everyone's eyes at the scene.
Lenovo and Longteng jointly established a joint venture company, and Lenovo invested US$1.5 billion to purchase a 49.9% stake in the LongGamePhone brand, which became an independent LGP mobile game company.
LGP's new generation of products will release a 4.5-inch large screen, specializing in high-performance handheld games, and in terms of software, Longteng Entertainment Games provides a qiē software service from packaging the Android operating system to a full range of large-screen game software, and a number of popular TV games will be developed in Android versions.
In terms of hardware, the world's leading LCD screen manufacturer Lin Investment Group supplies capacitive screens, the largest lithium-nickel battery manufacturer in China BYD supplies the highest performance batteries, and the 4.5-inch gaming phone will be sold to all parts of Lenovo's sales channels around the world.
"Entertainment, family, technology", this is a family entertainment unified plan jointly created by Lenovo and Longteng, but careful people find that this is mainly a plan for personal computers and portable mobile terminal devices, and it is really subdivided into smartphones and TV game consoles, and this grand unified plan is basically untouched.
"What a good idea...... In this way, there is no place for them not to set foot in the entire IT industry chain, and it can even extend to a wider field! After listening carefully to Liu Chuanzhi's personal explanation, many far-sighted peers in the audience sighed, and Gu Yang, vice president of the Computer Branch of the National Association for Science and Technology, patted his thigh and secretly applauded.
But many people still didn't understand, and they asked curiously, "Teacher Gu, does this have any special meaning?" Why do I only see the feeling of strong and strong joining forces, like Chinese companies joining forces to encircle and suppress the world? ”
Gu Yang reminded: "Encirclement and suppression of the world is just a superficial phenomenon, in fact, you should think more about the things behind it, especially the fact that BYD has become the battery supplier of LGP game handhelds, you think, what is BYD's main business?" ”
Some people began to recall the development history of BYD, BYD has IT, automobiles, and new energy three main industries, in the IT side is mainly mobile phone design and assembly, module and circuit board related microelectronic products, they cooperate with Longteng Lenovo, it is not surprising at all.
But unexpectedly, this time BYD participated in the cooperation with its new energy department, and LongGamePhone is openly using BYD battery brand, not BYD OEM, using its own OEM.
This kind of vigorous support for domestic goods and technologies is quite obvious, and if there is no state operating in it, the ghost will not believe it.
"I see! This must be Lenovo's connection in it, taking advantage of this opportunity to enter the mobile phone industry, by the way, to drive domestic new energy enterprises to carry out technological innovation, leapfrog development, so that BYD from China's top three to a world-class high-tech enterprise! ”
"If BYD can have a huge breakthrough in new energy, maybe BYD new energy vehicles will be able to make a world-class brand by the way! In recent years, with the help of Longteng, Great Wall Motors has become the best-selling car in China, selling well at home and abroad, and now it is helping BYD, so China's automobile industry has more and more voice in the world! ”
"It's definitely no joke! I've heard that the domestic Chery off-road vehicle in Ukraine is a way for military tanks! It seems that it is Longteng's people who are the ones who have won foreign military orders......"
Some of the people below are crooked, and they talk a lot, but everyone has the same point of view, LongGamePhone's one-to-one approach definitely contains more political significance, they guess, this is definitely related to Zhu Shuguang, this should be an important measure that affects a country's economic development and industrial reform!
"You young people...... It's still too superficial to look at the problem......" Gu Yang smiled and shook his head, although it was very exciting to hear this kind of baseless super good speculation, but the point he said was not this.
"You still call yourself an IT industry person, think about it, how many years has Longteng not launched a handheld computer? Ten years, or fifteen years? ”
When many people think about it, they can't help but gasp: "Although it has been a small change every few years since GG, the number of real major revisions has hardly ......"
"No, when Nokia added some small games to Symbian, LGP had some small Android games in the first generation!"
"That's still a minor facelift! Oh my God, it turns out that since GG was first listed, it has been 17 or 8 years since a new handheld has been launched! ”
Gu Yang said: "This is the truth, Long Teng, who attaches so much importance to game development, has no interest in handheld at all, do you think this is forgotten, or is it deliberate?" I think it's the latter, throughout the history of the development of Longteng, except for the original Nintendo GameBoy and GG competition, all other Japanese game manufacturers have given up handhelds, and later Sony has not become a climate, and even a handheld has not been developed, Longteng has swept the game industry just by virtue of video game consoles, so they don't bother to develop independent handheld game consoles at all, which is a matter of money and energy. ”
Everyone thinks about it, there are no competitors, so what kind of handheld is developed, players' gaming habits are cultivated by game console manufacturers, manufacturers do not provide handhelds, what do players play? It's not like playing games on the TV or PC?
And now, entering the era of intelligence, Longteng is seizing an opportunity to expand its influence, IOS, Android, they are desperately expanding the promotion regardless of the cost, and in the end there is only one purpose - Microsoft! (To be continued......)
