Li Dong chatted with Chen Mingyong and the others as they walked.
When it came to technology, Li Dong was a complete layman and couldn't give any suggestions.
But in other aspects, he came from the future and even if he didn't know anything, he still used no less than five smartphones.
Any person from the future would be able to say a few words about the direction of the development of smartphones.
To Chen Mingyong and the others in 2008, some things were like a fantasy.
But in reality, in a few years, it would become a reality.
At the end, Li Dong added, "If Opper wants to open a channel, Far away is also a suitable choice. Faraway Supermarket has stores all over the country, with more than fifty hypermarkets. Far away cooperating with Opper will bring many benefits to the market. I don't need to say more, Director Chen should understand. "
Chen Mingyong's eyes lit up, "General Manager Li, are you really willing to cooperate with Opper?"
Nowadays, the hypermarkets and supermarkets were in a dominant position.
If Opper wanted to open a market and establish a channel, Far away's help would save at least three to five years of time.
This was like a pie falling from the sky. If other phone companies came knocking, Far away might not even agree.
Previously, Huang Guangyu looked for Carrefour to cooperate with electronics, but the main reason was to open up the mobile market.
Gome acquired Star Peak Telecommunications and Dalian Telecommunications, all in preparation to enter the mobile market.
And the cooperation with Carrefour was also to open up the mobile market, to speed up the establishment of channels.
Unfortunately, Carrefour suffered a heavy blow and had to sell Hua Xia's business, making Huang Guangyu's plan fail.
Now that Faraway Supermarket, as one of the top three department stores in the country, took the initiative to cooperate with Opper, it would be strange if Chen Ming wasn't surprised.
Seeing his excitement, Li Dong smiled, "Of course, it's not unconditional. Business is business, and Director Chen should understand this. As for money, the entrance fee is nothing to me, and I don't care about it. As I said before, we can cooperate with shares. "
Seeing that Chen Mingyong was about to finish, Li Dong gestured with his hand, "Don't worry, Director Chen. I won't hide my goal. It's best if I can control Opper.
Even if I can't, I hope to increase Far Away's influence in Opper.
I can't bring up Opper and then you kick me out the next second.
I won't do something as easy as making wedding clothes for others.
It's my habit to say one thing and two things when there's another.
Collaboration was possible. President Chen should understand the benefits of collaborating with Distance. Not only would Ou Po have Distance Supermarket stores, but Distance could also help Ou Po open up the online market.
Far Away Mall's market share is only second to Taobao.
And this is just the total amount. In fact, in the field of expensive products such as home appliances and mobile phones, Far Away Mall's market share is higher than Taobao's.
After all, our quality is guaranteed. If Far Away Mall is willing to give us preferential policies, I think the online sales alone will be enough for Opper to enter the forefront of the domestic mobile phone industry.
With Far Away's support, I don't need to say how much benefits Opper can obtain. Director Chen can analyze it yourself and understand how much benefits there are. "
After saying that, Li Dong added, "If Director Chen insists, Far Away will ensure its own benefits and that our Internet system can achieve better breakthroughs and development. Next, Far Away may abandon Opper and choose another partner. I think not everyone will be like Director Chen and give up such an opportunity. "
Chen Mingyong's body trembled slightly. That's right. Without Opper, Far Away can still choose someone else.
With Far Away's support and online and offline support, as long as they are not too idiotic and their technology is up to standard, the rise is inevitable.
Far Away's online and offline channels are at the forefront of the domestic market. If they cooperate online and offline, I'm afraid that no other channel can compare to Far Away's channels.
Am I really going to let go of such an opportunity?
The current Opper is not the Opper in a few years. The first mobile phone has just been released, and its popularity is equivalent to zero.
Without popularity, without a stable customer base, can I really rely on myself to make a mobile phone?
Even if I can, how many years will it take?
Chen Mingyong was deep in thought, and Li Dong was not anxious.
After looking around the workshop, Li Dong suddenly waved to a technician beside Chen Mingyong and said, "Team Leader Liu, can I ask a question?"
The Team Leader Liu that Li Dong mentioned was a technical team leader in Opper's mobile phone research and development department.
As for what exactly he was in charge of, Li Dong did not ask.
Hearing Li Dong call him, Team Leader Liu immediately walked over and said respectfully, "General Manager Li, if you have any questions, feel free to ask."
Li Dong thought for a moment and said, "Do you think the current mobile phones can support voice chat?"
Mobile phone voice chat does not depend on the wishes of these instant messaging companies. If mobile phones cannot support it, even if he developed WeChat or PP voice chat now, it would be useless.
Once Li Dong asked this, Team Leader Liu's eyes lit up. "Could it be that General Manager Li wants to open a mobile phone voice chat system?"
In fact, voice chat is not too rare. Some people have been doing it a few years ago.
However, they have been very simple in the past. Coupled with the fact that the previous mobile phones could not reach the current technology, the chat was also very vague, and the distance was also very short. It was not very useful.
Now hearing Li Dong ask this, Team Leader Liu thought for a moment and said, "General Manager Li, in fact, it is not too difficult to develop a voice chat system.
At least in terms of hardware, even if we do not find a big manufacturer, ordinary small manufacturers can develop it.
The difficulty of a mobile phone voice chat system is not in this, but in the software.
First, the existing network bandwidth may not be able to support it, and the call will not be too smooth.
Second, it is not practical. According to the current technology, even if you can achieve mobile phone voice chat, the traffic of one sentence is also very scary.
Maybe if you say a sentence, the traffic cost will exceed the cost of the call.
Third, and also the most important point, this will touch the core interests of the communications operators.
Once your PP voice chat software really opens this function, I feel that the next step will be very troublesome.
The communications operators will not let you get this opportunity so easily unless you cooperate with a few operators, and if you do not peel off a layer of skin, they will not easily agree to it.
Of course, if General Manager Li is confident, there is another way.
I heard that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced a new 3G policy plan not long ago, and may officially issue a 3G license soon.
Far away, if you can get a license, then it will not be a problem. "
The corner of Li Dong's mouth twitched. You really think highly of me.
Although Li Dong has some status in the country now, he is not qualified to touch the mobile telecommunications companies.
These few companies monopolized the entire market, and he does not have the ability to snatch food from their mouths.
However, cooperation is possible. In his previous life, Tencent seems to have taken this path. Whether it is a 3G license or a 3G audio and video license, Tencent did not get it.
Later on, after Tencent cooperated with a few companies, there was the voice chat later.
Li Dong just asked casually just now, and did not think too much about it. He did not expect that this guy in front of him would actually talk about the important problem so quickly.
Li Dong's eyes moved slightly. He looked at Chen Mingyong, who is not far away, and then said to Team Leader Liu with a smile, "Team Leader Liu, are you interested in going Far away?"
Team Leader Liu's mouth opened wide. Damn, as expected of a fierce person in the business world.
His boss is just beside him, and he is poaching people just like that?
Fortunately, he does not know Chen Ying from Carrefour, or else the two of them would definitely have a common language.
The last time Chen Lang went to Carrefour, it was to poach Chen Ying from Carrefour. In the end, Li Dong was the same as Chen Lang. One must know that the two of them did not communicate with each other.
Far away has been established for too short a time, and the talent shortage is severe.
Even with the support of Jiangbei's government, as well as Far away's large scale recruitment, people are not cabbages. You can't just recruit people and they will immediately find elites.
If elites were so easy to find, headhunting companies would have run out of food a long time ago.
Far away's executives, when they go out, love to poach people when they meet someone strong.
Don't say, with this kind of method, they managed to poach quite a few talents.
Of course, after a few times, the others were also on guard against Far away's people. They are now afraid. Far away's people are like hungry wolves, wanting to take a bite out of anything they see.
Chen Ming was always in Guan City, so he didn't know much about Far away.
If not, he wouldn't have given Li Dong the chance to meet his elites alone.
This leader Liu, don't look at him as a leader, but in Opper's R&D department, his position is second only to the technical director.
If not for this, Chen Mingyong wouldn't have specially brought him to meet Li Dong.
Li Dong was the country's business magnate. Chen Mingyong couldn't take care of an average technician, which would make him look like he was neglecting Li Dong.
Seeing leader Liu in a daze, Li Dong wasn't in a hurry. He laughed, "I'll think about it. What you said just now is to my liking. I didn't think too much about it before. I always thought that as long as the technology is there, it can be developed. Now that I think about it, my thinking was too simple. In recent years, QQ's development has been faster than PP's, and the mobile version has been out for a few years now. I always thought it was strange that even a voice system was so hard to develop? Now that you mention it, I can understand. "
Leader Liu hurriedly said, "General Manager Li, you misunderstood. You probably didn't ask anyone else. Far away, the R&D staff should know about this. There has been a long debate about this in the industry. I remember Tencent mentioned this at the last Internet Conference. But you should also know that the major operators in our country have deep backgrounds. Even if Tencent is unhappy, they can't break through the barriers. After that, this matter was put aside. You asked me about this just now, but I was just borrowing from others. "
Li Dong said indifferently, "Regardless of whether there was a debate or not, I've never heard such a systematic explanation. Don't be humble. I, Li Dong, look at people based on ability and affinity. Leader Liu, I won't say much. If there's a chance, you can go to Pingchuan and take a look. "
Li Dong didn't promise anything, nor did he show any eagerness for talent.
He wasn't like that. When he saw a talent, he just needed to show that he valued it and wanted to recruit him.
At his level, unless it was really amazing, he wouldn't let Li Dong be too polite.
Just as he finished chatting with Leader Liu, Chen Mingyong and Shen Qian also walked over, chatting.
When Li Dong saw this, he smiled and said, "General Manager Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Mingyong exhaled and said, "General Manager Li, I just talked to Miss Shen. I can't give a definite answer on this matter for the time being. But I will hold a board of directors and shareholders meeting soon. I really can't refuse the conditions given by General Manager Li, and I think it's the same for the others. But I have something to say in advance. Even if General Manager Li really becomes the major shareholder, the management rights of the Opper must remain in our hands. This is my bottom line. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept it. "
Li Dong said understandingly, "Of course. Besides, I don't have the energy to care about this. I believe that General Manager Chen can do better."
So far, Li Dong wasn't lying.
In his previous life, Chen Mingyong led the Opper and suddenly rose up. With their weak strength, they defeated three companies in China's Cool Alliance, second only to Huawei. That was ability.
No matter what outsiders said, mocked, or ridiculed, Oppo had indeed created a miracle.
No matter how good Xiao Mi's reputation was, it was all fake.
The business world didn't care about this. Reputation didn't matter. Before one's strength reached that level, it really wasn't as big as one imagined.
When the company had a certain scale, then they would build up their reputation. Next was to prepare for a hundred-year-old company.
But to become a hundred-year-old company in the mobile phone industry wasn't that simple.
In any case, Chen Mingyong's strength was definitely top notch. This fellow was a little similar to Shi Dazhu. At least they were experts in marketing and setting up channels.
Li Dong readily agreed, and Chen Mingyong put down his last burden.
He knew that no matter if it was the shareholders meeting or the board of directors, they probably wouldn't reject Li Dong's suggestion.
It was too tempting. A company that had just entered the mobile phone industry could get the full support of Far Away online and offline. Only a fool wouldn't agree to such a good thing.
Other than him, the founder, who was feeling pressured, the others probably couldn't wait for Li Dong to become the controlling shareholder of Opper.
Even Chen Mingyong himself couldn't resist this temptation.
Li Dong had agreed not to interfere with the company's operations. Chen Mingyong's expression relaxed. "General Manager Li, I'm afraid I can only give you a definite answer after a few days. As for the details … "
Li Dong smiled. "There's no rush. I'll get someone to discuss it with you later. Also, let's not get the main point wrong. Actually, my goal is not to become the controlling shareholder. My main goal is to hope that Opper can bring more help to Far Away. Now that the A103 has been released, although I don't know how it will turn out, I hope that the next mobile phone will move towards 3G. The 3G era is coming, and the mobile phone industry will definitely be greatly impacted. Whether we can grasp this opportunity depends on your decision, Chief Chen. "
Chen Mingyong sternly said, "Even if General Manager Li didn't say this, I will definitely consider it carefully."
"That's good. I won't say anything else. I'm just a layman, and I can only say a few words. Just listen to me, Chief Chen."
Chen Mingyong hurriedly said, "General Manager Li is too humble. Listening to a wise man's words is better than studying for ten years. This is not a compliment. It's definitely from the bottom of my heart."
Li Dong laughed. Then, he walked around the workshop and went to the R&D department to take a look. Chen Mingyong took the initiative to invite Li Dong for a meal.
Li Dong didn't refuse, and the few of them took a car to the city.
