Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Qu Li still has a lot to say in "Win in the Women", such as Honor's chip and operating system. It's not that no one asked, but he deliberately ignored it.

Although it is a bit late, Honor still decided to start school recruitment after the National Day. Most of the software of Honor G1 is developed by Google. Honor almost meets all the requirements of Google. There are interests in the system that belong to them.

Qu Li and Zhou Shaoning went south to Pengcheng again. The chips purchased from Texas Instruments finally arrived. BYD has already started trial production. Whether it can produce mobile phones that meet Qu Li's requirements is of great importance. Visit the site.

A company with a valuation of one billion dollars is treated completely differently from a start-up company. This does not depend on the will of the founder, because the middle and high-level managers of BYD and Honor can offend small companies, but they dare not offend big companies. Influential big business.

As a photographer, Qu Li has a relatively strong insight into products, which means that he can pick out details, but to improve the craftsmanship not only requires the cooperation of BYD, but also the ability of Glory's own process engineer team to solve problems.

Qu Li knows a little bit of mechanical manufacturing technology, so that his eyes won't be blinded, and he knows how to act stupid at the right time, forcing BYD and his own employees to work overtime frequently, improving the process step by step, and finally making the Honor mobile phone meet his minimum requirements .

It is inevitable to increase the salaries of the team members of this project afterwards, and they will be required to explode in the future, so we cannot lose their credibility at this time.

Qu Li rejected many things about Glory and Jumei, and insisted on staying in the BYD factory for more than ten days. In order to ensure the final product strength, he finally entered the formal production process. Qu Li brought the first batch of 2000 units of 2G version of Glory The G1 mobile phone flew to Huashengtun.

T-Mobile has decided to release the Honor T-Mobile G1 on October 22, and then start pre-sales, and determine subsequent purchases based on the results. Qu Li wants to conduct a group buying event on shopee after the product is released to reduce the risk of both parties. If tens of millions of orders really go wrong, his small body can't bear it.

"Your efficiency is really high." Robert Dotson looked at the exquisite Honor G1 and said with emotion. The appearance of this mobile phone is attractive enough.

"It may not be too smooth. The output of OMAP3430 chips from Texas Instruments restricts the delivery capacity of our foundry." Qu Li is optimistic about the future, but pessimistic about specific affairs.

"When will Texas Instruments be able to supply on a large scale?"

"December this year."

"Can't you change a chip?"

"That would sacrifice user experience, and the gain outweighs the gain." OMAP3430 is a classic, the world's first chip using a 65nm process, and was widely used by mobile phone manufacturers such as Motorola and Nokia until 2010. Honor's second 3.5-inch touch-screen phone will still use this chip and the 3.2-megapixel OV camera.

Robert Dotson does not agree with the idea of ​​Honor’s group buying on shopee. He wants to attract as many consumers as possible. As for whether the Honor brand will be destroyed by negative reviews, that’s not what he cares about.

After leaving T-Mobile, Qu Lifei went to Silicon Valley to interview the marketing director of Honor in the United States. In the future, Honor will definitely advertise in major media to pay protection fees. After all, Honor is not like Apple and Tesla, two brands that later seem to have undefeated golden stature.

Qu Li, Honor's laboratory in Silicon Valley, doesn't care. He doesn't understand anyway. Even if he doesn't develop mobile phone chips and basebands, he should focus on improving camera, game, and audio-visual capabilities. Sports cameras are a must. However, he also arranged a long-term task, must have patents that can check and balance Apple.

As long as Honor grows stronger, a patent war with Apple is inevitable. HTC has been banned from selling in European and American markets, which shows the problem. Of course, Honor is different from HTC. It is a company that grows under the red flag. It may be blessed by national strength when the competition between big countries is not fierce.

It will soon be Monday, October 22. This press conference is not only for the Open Handset Alliance that Google is preparing, but also for T-Mobile's unwillingness to be the fourth-ranked US telecom operator. As a result, many celebrities came, including the three major domestic portals and central-style reporters.

The second season of "Win in China" ended on the weekend. The domestic audience saw the Honor G1 for the first time. Looking at the shining smart phone on the TV, there were many discussions on the Internet in an instant, because there was still no honor at that time. Announce any good news.

A netizen left a message on Zha Lang’s blog, asking Qu Li when the Honor G1 will be sold in China. More people want to know the specific situation. Is the operating system and chip of this smartphone the Honor itself...

Well, dreamers are a minority after all, and the voice of doubt is even louder, thinking that Qu Li is habitually broadcasting satellites and bragging.

"This is not a model phone, is it? A Chinese company made this kind of phone?"

"It won't be another Hanxin, I bought someone else's mobile phone to polish..."

Some things hurt people too deeply, and the person involved can be safe and happy, and I don't know how much effort the school masters behind them have put in.

Qu Li naturally chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb. In fact, he didn't have time to watch these things. The protagonists of this press conference were Honor G1, T-Mobile, and Google. The only thing that couldn't be Qu Li, Honor, or a Chinese company. So although he will be present, he will not speak on stage.

Seeing Robert Dotson, Schmidt, Andy Rubin and other big names on the stage, Qu Li suddenly thought of something, and said to Zhou Shaoning: "Be careful to keep a distance from Andy Rubin, our partner is Google, not Android, and not Andy Rubin."

"Does it make any difference?"

"Stay away from Google's office politics." Qu Li remembered that Andy Rubin, a great hero of Android, was eventually sent out. Isn't there a big problem that might arise?

Qu Li was lucky. What he didn't know was that HTC was banned in Europe and the United States, which was related to their deep binding and full support for Andy Rubin, which annoyed Pichai, the later CEO of Google. Some clues can be seen from the timeline. At that time, Google had acquired Motorola and had nearly 20,000 patents. Could it not protect HTC, the number one player in the Android camp?

"We must remember that we and Google Android are partners, not vassals!" Qu Li emphasized again, resolutely not getting involved in Google's internal struggles.

"But we may not get enough support in the future." Zhou Shaoning worried

"You're thinking too much. Honor doesn't have the ability to bargain with Google in three years. What I want is that Honor can say no to Google in three years' time!"

"I will work hard!" Zhou Shaoning breathed a sigh of relief. Since Qu Tianming had a great foresight, since he chose to trust him, why did he hesitate at that time.

Glory’s financing made Zhou Shaoning’s net worth soar to 100 million U.S. dollars in less than a year, and Qu Li’s shareholding ratio dropped to 43%, but the investment of 65 million soft sister coins is now worth 420 million U.S. dollars. The team members they chose to invest in are all Make a lot of money.

At the end of the press conference, Robert Dotson announced that he would sell 2,000 sets of Honor T-Mobile G1 non-contract mobile phones through group purchases on shopee. The contract machine is booked, and the specific delivery time will have to wait until the next year.

With the support of Google and T-Mobile, the news quickly spread throughout the United States and China, and Honor G1 was officially unveiled.
