"Oh, Chairman. Rakia's CEO had contacted us. He wants to work with us." Jimmy thought for a while and reported.
"Rakia? They want to work with us? How? "
"They want to join the HOS alliance."
Even though Wind and Rain mobile phones are doing well now, Rakia is still the world's number two. They are ahead of Samsung, Aiwa, Sony, and other brands. Apple's iPhone is not worth mentioning.
In Feng Yu's previous life, Rakia's mobile phone sales had exceeded 30% of the world's total mobile phone sales. Even in this life, Rakia had lost the Hua Xia market and Wind and Rain mobile phones, but Rakia is still the market leader in Europe and the world's number two.
Rakia is still the same as in Feng Yu's previous life. Their most powerful product is their mobile phones, and they are not as good as smartphones. Now, smartphones are starting to show their power, and Rakia's sales are declining.
Even so, Rakia still made profits last year, but it's hard to tell what will happen this year.
Rakia had introduced a few more popular mobile phones this year, but their sales are declining. Rakia had realized that the Symbian operating system is not as good as the HOS operating system and Apple's IOS.
Rakia had done some research and felt it is not difficult to develop a tablet PC. Rakia's R&D capabilities are enough to produce a tablet PC, but the Symbian operating system is not suitable for tablets. Not many software vendors are willing to develop software with the Symbian operating system.
It will be too slow for Rakia to develop their own software. If this carries on, the Symbian operating system will not be able to enter the tablet PC market and might even be squeezed out of the smartphone market.
Look at Philips. What kind of groundbreaking technology has it developed? Because of Tai Hua Holdings' cooperation with electronics companies, Tai Hua Holdings' VCD, HD DVD, MP3 players, e-readers, smartphones, tablets, and other products had made so much money.
Now, Rakia has joined the HOS alliance and has a say in it. What right does Philips have?
If Rakia joins the HOS alliance, they can even cooperate with Wind and Rain mobile phones. Then, they will have the final say in the world's mobile phone market.
This way, Rakia can also produce tablets and might even enter the PC market in the future. Look at Aiwa. Aiwa started off as a music player company. Now, it has introduced many products.
Hence, Romania decided to lower its head and join the HOS alliance to consolidate its position in Europe and continue to expand into Asia and the Americas. It was not impossible for them to take back the throne of the world's top mobile phone sales volume.
Of course, Feng Yu could guess what Locya was thinking. If Locya joined the HOS Alliance, it would greatly benefit the promotion of HOS. However, Feng Yu did not intend to agree to it.
"Have you contacted Lenovo Kingsoft? Have they agreed?" Feng Yu frowned and asked.
"No." Jimmy shook his head. "They know I'm coming here. They asked me to ask your opinion. However, they are also hesitating and unable to make a decision. "
Lenovo Kingsoft agreed to let Langia join the HOS alliance. This way, they will be able to promote this operating system to a greater extent and completely eliminate the Saiban operating system. This way, they will firmly occupy the position of the market leader in the smartphone and tablet market.
But Lei Jun and the rest also know that this will not be good for Wind and Rain mobile phones and Aiwa mobile phones. Locya is the biggest competitor of Wind and Rain mobile phones and is the market leader in Europe and the world's second largest.
If they also have a better operating system, then Wind and Rain mobile phones will not have much of an advantage in the smartphone market. Locya might regain its position as the market leader.
Currently, Locya is catching up with Wind and Rain mobile phones and can compete with Wind and Rain mobile phones again. If the smartphone market catches up, it will be hard to say who will be the market leader.
After all, in the North American market, Wind and Rain mobile phones are facing more resistance than Locya.
If Locya, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, etc. do not join the HOS alliance, Lenovo Kingsoft is confident that HOS will continue to be the market leader in the smartphone market. Together with Wind and Rain mobile phones, they will continue to suppress Locya and other brands.
The first path is easier for Lenovo Kingsoft, and the second path is more difficult. But Lenovo Kingsoft is a joint venture, and the main shareholders are Taihua Holdings, Lenovo Group, Polar Bear Holdings, and the founders of the company, Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun.
Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun might be the Chairman and President of the company, but the one who has the final say is Feng Yu.
They also want to enter the management of Taihua Holdings in the future. Wu Chih-gang will become the President or CEO, and Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun will also have a chance. Jiang Wanmeng and Xu Lihua are not young anymore, and they can only be Deputy Directors or Directors.
So, Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun discussed and decided to ask for Feng Yu's opinion. They will see what Feng Yu chooses, and they will execute it.
"Inform them that Locya, Motorola, and Sony Ericsson cannot join the HOS alliance unless we become their shareholders."
Feng Yu only needs to support one Samsung, and he can get rid of the accusations of monopolizing the market. He does not want to support too many enemies.
Why are these three mobile phone manufacturers so important to Feng Yu is because they have the most patents for mobile phones and telecommunications. Wind and Rain mobile phones cost a lot of money every year.
Luckily, Feng Yu had gotten some authorizations through Philips when those companies were lax. Over the years, Feng Yu had done his own research and came up with many replacement technologies. He had also worked with Samsung to get some authorizations for their patents. This was how Feng Yu slowly got rid of those companies.
Especially now, Taihua Holdings has a lot of cooperation with Ericsson. Since Ericsson sold its mobile phone business to Sony, it had been focusing on developing technologies and making money from authorizations.
The more Wind and Rain mobile phones are selling, the more they will earn. That's why both parties are happy working together.
Sometimes, Feng Yu will sigh. Hua Xia's telecommunications and electronics development is still too late. Many of their patented technologies are in the hands of overseas companies. Luckily, Hua Xia is catching up now, and some of these technologies can be exchanged. In the future, Hua Xia might be able to replace Hua Xia and stand at the peak of technology.
Lukia's sales and market share had been declining for the past few years. Feng Yu must not give Lukia a chance to make a comeback. He must trample on Lukia and make Lukia's market share fall below 10% within two years!
