Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Chapter 461 Time MIPad

Qiancheng Motors is just a small company, and it is too difficult to attract supply chain companies to settle in Xingsha. However, Honor is a big company. After BYD Electronics settled, it will drive a lot of supply chain companies, including the AMOLED production line of BOE, the core supplier of Honor's future. star sand.

It is very difficult to achieve this. Inner Mongolia EEDS has made a lot of efforts to get BOE to settle down. For example, BOE established an energy company there, which was transferred this year, with a single profit of 3.7 billion yuan. It is absolutely impossible for Xingsha to pay so much, so Glory has to find a way to help BOE make money.

But BOE's products at this time cannot meet the requirements of Honor, even if Honor invests a lot of manpower and material resources to help BOE poach people from the LCD panel industry in Japan and South Korea to improve its technology, it is useless. This has fallen into a vicious circle. Without orders, no money can be made, and BOE's continuous hematopoietic ability will be weak. Their financial report in history said: In 2011, the global terminal electronic consumer market continued to slump. Affected by this, the price of the company's main LCD panel products continued to drop, resulting in a large operating loss for the company in 2011...

It is obvious that BOE is losing money despite the explosion of the smartphone industry. What does this mean? But now with the financial and technical support of Glory, although it can't meet the requirements of Glory, it can be used at will.

For whom? Definitely not Glory, Motorola's acquisition has not yet settled, and I don't know when the integration will be completed, so ah, it is most appropriate to open a vest. Amazon can have tablets, so does Jumei Shopee also have them?

Shiguang got this opportunity to cooperate with Honor. Why, of course, is because the name is well chosen. It can't be called Taobao Tmall, Jumei or Juhuasuan mobile phone, it's too ugly.

The first product of Time Time is not a mobile phone, but a tablet computer. Honor adopted the ODM method and designed a "cheap" tablet computer for Time Time, using Spreadtrum chips and KOS system.

Some people may wonder, isn't KOS the core competitiveness of Honor? But the situation in China is different, Google Android can’t get in, the user experience of the Android smart phone developed by Zhonghua Kulian is too bad, and the coarse grain mobile phone was lost by him. Without this catfish, even the chrysanthemum mobile phone that Yu Dazui just took over , a horse with poor product strength.

Of course, this is not just a problem with domestic mobile phones. Motorola’s smartphones have a very low praise rate, and Samsung and HTC are slightly better. The country has the most system development talents, no one will object to this sentence.

It is very difficult for domestic companies to poach talent from Glory, not to mention the non-compete agreement, and the equity incentive plan generally has a three-year lock-up period.

Therefore, Honor opened KOS to the domestic market, and Google tightened the Android brand authorization to see if it can make up for overseas losses with domestic revenue. This matter is difficult, and the success rate is not high, but if you don't try it once, you will be unwilling. Besides, he is doing a good deed, reducing the work intensity of mobile phones, and can also regulate the mobile phone application market.

The first step of Honor is to open the app store, and develop PC-side management software and mobile APP, so that users can use the KOS app store on other Android phones. It is still the ability to use money to subsidize domestic developers and give them priority to adapt to KOS requirements.

In fact, the Time MiPad was developed by Honor. It uses a 9.7-inch BOE TFT LCD screen and 8G and 16G Changjiang storage. The reason for doing this is somewhat of an idea: If you don’t cooperate, I will directly enter the low-end mobile phone market. There is also a demonstration role to determine the acceptance of consumers. If the time MiPad can sell well, it means that the KOS system is attractive enough.

As for Time Group, it not only sells tablets but also e-book readers, but not now. In 2011, all kinds of domestic companies entered the game one after another, launching a large number of messy products, and finally disappeared into dust and smoke. When Shiguang Reading has accumulated a certain amount of resources, Jumei will start the e-book business and be able to create high-quality products, then Shiguang will enter the game.

As for mobile phones, look at Honor's control over Motorola. Even if it manufactures mobile phones, it will use the ODM model to train at most one team to optimize and adapt the KOS system.

Of course, the MiPad tablet is entrusted to BYD Electronics to manufacture, sell it on Jumei Shopee, and then let Jumei Logistics be responsible for the transportation and distribution. Shi Shi had to arrange a special person to handle the whole thing, because he didn't plan to make it bigger and stronger and create another glories, so he didn't dig out the big cow in his impression, so he chose Lu Weibing, who had overseas marketing experience in Tianyu.

"What I want to do is an Internet e-commerce brand. Tablets and e-book readers must be done. Other consumer electronics such as mobile phones can be arranged by you. The resources I can provide are limited. Time Jumei's advertising and traffic resources. The money that has to be paid to Glory and Jumei for a few years can be paid later, and the purchase of spare parts for the first-generation MiPad tablet can be paid by Glory, and in the future, we have to find a way by ourselves..." Qu Li said, he was looking for Lu Weibing because of this person Fierce and aggressive, no worse than Yu Dazui, but the platform is different, which limits development.

"How about it, do you have the confidence to take on this task and set up the entire hardware department of Time alone?" Qu Li communicated with Lu Weibing in person

"I still have something to ask..." Lu Weibing did not directly agree

"You ask!" Qu Li sat firmly on the Diaoyutai

"The relationship between time and Jumei?"

"It's like Glory and Qiancheng Automobile."

"What kind of company is Time?"

"It used to be Jumei's innovative business department, a mobile internet company, but now it needs a vest for the time being because of Honor, so..."

"Why not use time as a brand, but use MiPad?"

"In China, you can first use the Chinese brand of time, and use MIPad in the international part. This is because you are worried that you are doing too well and developing too fast. At that time, it will be split off and refinanced. At that time, you can think of a name yourself, such as rice and millet. ..." Qu Li had a half-smile

Lu Weibing didn’t know what was so funny about it. He felt that Qu Li didn’t pay much attention to this project, but he gave a lot of resources. He prepared an order of 1 million at the beginning. According to the minimum selling price of 200 US dollars, he could sell all of them with an income of 200 million US dollars. , the funds are actually quite abundant.

"How much start-up capital can I have?"

"I've prepared 100 million for you, and I can't give you a penny more." Qu Li is still quite generous. Although Time basically has no income now, this matter is really going to be done, so let's ask Lu Qi and the venture capital for money.

"Okay, I'll take it!" Lu Weibing stood up abruptly, he now

"Good luck!" Qu Li also stood up and shook hands with him.
