"Not making money?"
Everyone was stunned.
Why would they make mobile phones if they didn't make money?
Which commercial company didn't make money from their products?
If they didn't make money, why did they work so hard?
Did they have nothing better to do, or did they want to do charity?
"Well, Boss Chen, you're kidding, right? If we don't make money, the company will be finished in minutes."
Jin Zhijiang asked doubtfully.
"Haha, don't worry. I'm only saying that we don't make money now. It doesn't mean that we won't make money in the future."
Chen Yu said with a smile, "I know you don't understand. It's okay. Let me share with you the strategy of Huanyu Technologies. As you all know, we started with the internet business. The internet business is very different from the traditional physical business. Most of the time, when we launch products, we don't think about making money. We just want to occupy the market as much as possible. And once we take over the market, the profits will come. "
"Take our instant messaging for example. If we focused on making money through instant messaging, our YY business wouldn't have developed to this point. Take our e-commerce business for example. If we focused on making money, our market share wouldn't be number one in the industry. Although our e-commerce business isn't making money now, if we want to make money, we have to make it. But even so, I still gave the e-commerce business a plan to not make a profit for five years … "
"This way of playing has also gradually affected our other series of businesses. When we do other businesses, the first thing we think about is not making money, but how to occupy the market. As long as we can occupy the market, it's fine even if we don't make money in the early stages. "
After he said that, everyone understood a little.
Jin Zhijiang asked again, "Boss Chen, what you mean is that we don't make money by making mobile phones first, and we'll consider it after we occupy the market in the future?"
"You can say that. Not only will we not make money, but we can even lose money. "
"Lose money?"
"Yes, we'll lose money every time we sell a mobile phone. We'll lose so much that our competitors won't dare to follow. When that happens, their market share will naturally be finished. "
"I …"
Although Chen Yu said it very calmly, everyone couldn't help but gasp when they heard it.
It didn't seem like much, but the competition in the business world was a war without gunpowder.
Even if there were no sparks or injuries, no one knew that a company with a market value of tens of billions would be finished just like that.
At the same time, they finally understood how Tianyu Mobile had risen to prominence.
Apart from innovation, there was also the price.
Not only was this price low, but more importantly, they were desperately trying not to make any money in the mobile phone industry.
They even used the method of losing money to forcefully snatch away your market.
It was also because of this crude fighting style that even a global mobile phone giant like Nokia could not do anything to Huanyu Technologies.
Just like that, Huanyu Technologies had the capital to develop. Until now, it was the only company that stood out.
Everyone could not help but clench their fists. They were secretly amazed by the terrifying way Huanyu Technologies played.
However, Jin Zhijiang thought about it and said, "Boss Chen, the model of the Internet is different from traditional electronics. This could be done for the Internet, but for traditional electronics, it might be more difficult. After all, for those of us who do physical things, whether it is the development cost, labor cost, or OEM cost, it is much higher than the Internet. "
"Is it much higher?"
Chen Yu shook his head. "On the surface, traditional electronics costs more than the Internet, but this is just on the surface. Not to mention other things, just our instant messaging, servers, hard drives, and other equipment all over the country are worth billions of investment. Not to mention the annual broadband traffic costs, promotion costs … "
Halfway through his sentence, Chen Yu did not continue.
Chen Yu understood from their expressions.
It was not that they did not understand this logic, but they could not make up their minds.
Who would dare to fight Nokia like Chen Yu did?
It would be good if they won.
If he were to lose, he would lose everything.
Not only would they lose the market, but they would also lose their lives.
However, Chen Yu knew better.
If they did not have such determination, the domestic mobile phone manufacturers would never be able to chase Nokia away.
Did they really think that Nokia was a paper tiger? That Nokia could not keep up with the times after the introduction of smartphones?
No, no, no …
With Nokia's current strength, there were too many variables in his existence.
Even the current Huanyu Technologies did not dare to say that they could completely defeat Nokia.
Chen Yu took a sip of tea and decided to change his approach. Chen Yu thought for a while and continued, "Everyone, don't be so nervous. It does require a certain amount of courage, but if you can see the direction ahead, I think everyone can make this decision.
"Let's put it this way. I believe everyone knows that other than selling smartphones to make money, the other series of apps can also make money. Of course, I know everyone is more familiar with this. But I have to say that in the smartphone era, by bundling the apps, their profitability is 10 times that of the feature phone era. "
Everyone agreed on this point.
Although they haven't launched a smartphone yet, according to the data obtained from various sources.
The series of apps that generated secondary payments were indeed like a blowout.
If they could make up their minds and fight with the international manufacturers, they might really be able to break out of the cocoon and be reborn.
However, was it so easy to make up their minds?
For a moment, everyone seemed a little hesitant.
Chen Yu was very clear about this mentality. He was prepared to give them a bigger blow.
"Sorry, I was wrong just now. The profitability of the various smartphone apps is not 10 times that of the feature phone, but 100 times. No, 100 times is not enough, it's 1000 times."
After saying that, Chen Yu looked at everyone.
Everyone's eyes turned back to Chen Yu.
Some were in disbelief.
Some were shocked.
Some were looking for answers.
Although they knew that the various smartphone apps were indeed very profitable, this profit was just icing on the cake.
It was incidental. The biggest part of the mobile phone's profit was mainly the mobile phone's hardware.
However, they got it from Chen Yu. Although they did not know how big the market for these apps would be in the future.
But looking at Chen Yu, this market was enough for them to survive very well, even very well.
"Everyone must be wondering, are these apps really that profitable? From the looks of it now, they are indeed not. However, our mobile phones are developing. Smartphones are completely different from traditional mobile phones. Actually, everyone can find it from the development of the PC Internet. Our smartphones are becoming more and more like computers. In the future, they can even replace computers. Of course, everyone may have some doubts about this. But it doesn't matter. Let's not talk about this for now. But all of us think that the smartphone market will expand several times in the future. This should not be a problem. "
"In that case, let's take a look again. What is the most profitable aspect of the PC Internet? "
"Online games."
The most profitable company on the Internet was, of course, Huanyu Technologies.
After Chen Yu said that, everyone looked for the answer from the various businesses of Huanyu Technologies.
Although a series of businesses of Huanyu Technologies were very profitable … the most profitable one was only one: online games.
Although online games did not reveal much, when it came to making money, it was not at all careless.
It could even be said that online games were hard money machines.
When Shengda Games went public, it made Chen Tianqiao the richest man in one fell swoop.
But everyone knew that.
Chen Tianqiao was still far from being the richest man in the world.
It could not be compared to others.
The scale of Shengda Games was only one-tenth of that of Huanyu Technologies.
If Shengda, which was only one-tenth of Huanyu Technology, could already make so much money, then how profitable would Huanyu Technology's games be?
How would online games make money in this industry?
"Yes, online games."
Chen Yu nodded. "Everyone, think about it. Will there be online games in the smartphone market in the future?"
It was definitely possible.
There was no need to think about it.
Although there were no online games in the smartphone market yet.
What appeared were all kinds of standalone games.
For example, Crazy Bird, Fruit Cutting, and so on. These were not online games in the true sense.
Even though they were very profitable.
But compared to real online games, they paled in comparison.
Once online games like the PC Internet appeared in the smartphone market, could you imagine how much money the smartphone game application would bring?
It could be said that when online games appeared in the smartphone market in the future, mobile phone manufacturers would be able to make a lot of money just from online games alone, not to mention other applications. They did not even need to personally develop online games. They only needed to participate in the download and distribution of the application. That would be a huge profit.
In Feng Yu's previous life, Huawei Mobile had quarreled with Penguin several times.
Why did they quarrel? It was not because Penguin Bro Ma and Boss Ren did not have a good relationship. They quarreled because of online games.
As for why they had to split the profits?
It was very simple.
Penguin had to pay Huawei a share of any Penguin application downloaded through the Huawei App Store.
Among them, Pesticide, PUBG, and so on had contributed a lot to Huawei.
"Online games."
"I didn't expect there to be such a thing."
When Chen Yu mentioned online games, the group of mobile phone manufacturers felt a surge of emotions.
Although they had not made online games before, they had been envious of online games for a long time.
In the past, whenever they mentioned Huanyu Technologies, they could not help but feel emotional. They had been making mobile phones for a few years, and even after selling millions of mobile phones, their profits were not enough to cover the profits of one game from Huanyu Technologies. In other words, their profits were not even enough to cover their annual profits from online games.
But it was useless to be envious.
They were making mobile phones and did not know about online games. They could only watch others make money.
However, when online games appeared once again, and this online game suddenly became related to them, they were unable to do anything about it.
In an instant, their hearts started thumping rapidly.
With online games, even if they were to face Nokia, Sony, Samsung, Motorola, Ericsson, etc., they would not have to worry.
Just like Huanyu Technologies.
The reason why Huanyu Technologies could enter other industries from the Internet was because of their online games.
Their online games provided them with a steady stream of profits, and that was why they were able to defeat their competitors.
In other words, sometimes, they were not defeated, but dragged to their death.
"Boss Chen, do you think our smartphones can launch online games like the PC Internet?"
Huang Zhang asked with some excitement.
It was not that he did not think that smartphones could not launch online games.
Instead, he wanted to confirm it again.
"Of course."
Chen Yu nodded. "What I want to say is that what can be done on PC can also be done on smartphones. Including our online games. Of course, I know that everyone is still a little uncertain. You might even think, how can a smartphone play games with such a small screen? "
"Yes, Boss Chen, we also want to ask this question."
Lei Jun said at this time.
Lei Jun was also in charge of online games in the past.
He knew the profits of online games very well.
It was just that he was temporarily limited by traditional thinking.
Of course, he could play online games on computers, but could he play on phones?
Or even if he could, how good would it be?
Lei Jun remembered that when Pear mobile phones were launched, he even installed a Legend of Mir.
But this was just to shock everyone, or to show off his muscles.
In fact, he did not have a good experience playing the Legend of Mir on the phone.
"Everyone, why have you been restricted by traditional thinking all this time? It's just like before when you asked us how to type on a mobile phone without buttons. Now … "
Chen Yu did not directly talk about how to play online games on smartphones. Instead, he talked about touch and buttons.
At that time, Pear did not have buttons, which could be said to have shocked the world.
Everyone was doubtful, and no one dared to believe it.
How to type without buttons?
Now it was all right.
When Pear Pear used his touch and virtual keyboard, all doubts were solved.
"Boss Chen, thank you very much."
Lei Jun was the first to wake up.
With just a reminder from Chen Yu, Lei Jun seemed to have been enlightened. Everything had been figured out.
"Boss Chen, I also figured it out."
Huang Zhang patted his head and thanked Chen Yu very much.
"Damn, Lei Jun, Huang Zhang, what did you figure out? Tell me. I haven't figured it out yet."
"Well, I haven't figured it out either. Share it with us."
The others were a little anxious.
But Lei Jun and Huang Zhang just smiled and said nothing. They would not reveal it to others.
"Well, you two are still hiding it. Boss Chen has been sharing his experience with us."
"That's right. It's not right. Lei Jun, I dragged you here this time."
They scolded Lei Jun and Huang Zhang.
It was Chen Yu who tried to smooth things over. "Everyone, don't be angry. Actually, to put it bluntly, this little thing is nothing. It won't take long. I believe you will understand it soon. "
"Boss Chen is right. Although I may not figure it out, I believe someone will figure it out."
Jin Zhijiang and others also nodded.
Even if they did not figure it out for the time being, it was not important.
Without buttons, Pear Pear could solve the problem of typing.
Wasn't it simpler to solve the problem of online game experience on a small smartphone?
As long as they made up their minds and followed the direction suggested by Chen Yu … even if it was a group of foreign mobile phone giants, at this moment, it was not so difficult to deal with in their eyes.
