"Blog?"
When Huanyu Gateway launched a blog, Shin-Lang was naturally the first to discover it.
However, they were just curious about it.
They didn't know why Huanyu Gateway launched a blog business.
It wasn't that they didn't know what a blog business was.
In fact, the blog business had been introduced to China a few years ago. Although blogs had appeared in China a long time ago, the development of blogs had been lukewarm. Or rather, it wasn't just lukewarm. It was just a niche business. Not many people in China used it, and it didn't have many fans. It also didn't cause any hot topics.
However, under these circumstances, Huanyu Gateway launched a blog.
Not only did they launch it, but it seemed like they took it seriously.
They even added a red reminder to the blog on the navigation bar and gave it a display spot on the homepage.
"Chen Tong, what do you think of Huanyu Gateway's blog?"
Cao Guowei called Shin-Lang's editor-in-chief, Chen Tong, to his office.
"It could be that Huanyu Technology wants to exert more power in terms of content."
Although Chen Tong didn't see the blog business, based on his decades of experience in content, he believed that Huanyu Gateway wanted to find a new way to compete with Shin-Lang. Just like the previous competition between portals, Huanyu ignored the current affairs news and focused on the secondary niche section. This strategy was very novel.
Although the secondary section was more niche than the current affairs news, the content in the secondary section was still very attractive.
This also caught Shin-Lang off guard by Huanyu Gateway.
Fortunately, Shin-Lang adjusted his strategy in time. He gave up on the game and focused solely on portals. This stabilized the situation.
"Content?"
Cao Guowei frowned and said, "Blogs provide original content. What's so attractive about this?"
"This … I'm trying to figure it out."
Chen Tong was a bit embarrassed, but he still said, "So far, Huanyu Gateway hasn't found a niche for blogs. Their blog business is average."
"Okay, keep an eye on Huanyu Gateway."
Cao Guowei instructed.
Currently, the biggest threat to Shin-Lang was the Huanyu Gateway.
Of course, Sohu and NetEase were also Shin-Lang's competitors.
But from the looks of it, Sohu was obviously not Shin-Lang's opponent, and NetEase's ambitions were not in the same league.
Only Huanyu Technologies had the ability to challenge Shin-Lang.
After Huanyu Gateway stole a bunch of his chickens, Shin-Lang attached great importance to Huanyu Technologies.
…
"Boss Chen, this place is not bad. I've long heard of the reputation of the hotpot beauty, but I didn't expect the service to be so good."
"It's just a small shop. I'm afraid that Boss Ren won't like it."
"Why wouldn't I? This is Boss Chen's business."
"Uh … My dad is in charge of this. I usually only know how to eat."
The next day, Ren Zhengfei was invited by Chen Yu to Hotpot Beauty.
Ren Zhengfei sat down.
Chen Yu placed the dishes that he had ordered into the hotpot. "Boss Ren, I don't know if you eat spicy food, so I ordered the Mandarin Duck hotpot."
"Okay, I'm fine with both flavors."
The two of them didn't talk business when they met and started eating.
Ren Zhengfei took a bite of the boiled beef and praised from time to time, "This beef is fresh."
"Boss Ren, you don't know, but for this fresh beef, my dad specially went to Yunnan and rented a cattle farm."
"I heard that your ingredients are all self-produced."
"Not all, but 80% is like this."
"I finally understand why other hotpot chains can't compete with Hotpot Beauty."
Although it was not a hotpot business, it was a different approach to business.
Ren Zhengfei only needed to think about it to understand Hotpot Beauty's unique model.
However, although he understood, it was not easy to do it.
For example, creating one's own ingredient channel was not something that could be done easily.
"By the way, Boss Chen, I heard that Hotpot Beauty has opened a branch in North City."
"Yes, a friend of mine is working on a commercial real estate project there, but he doesn't have a well-known beverage brand, so he pulled our Hot Pot Beauty to open a branch there."
"Why did I hear that there is another version of this?"
"What version?"
"It seems that a guy cheated that friend. Not only did he provide free rent, water, and electricity, but he also took 6 million yuan as an accommodation fee."
"Puff …"
Chen Yu was almost scalded by the beef in his bowl. "Who said that?"
"Absolutely not. There is absolutely no such thing."
Chen Yu wanted to vomit blood.
Damn, it was true that good news did not go out, but bad news spread far and wide.
This kind of thing was actually spread.
But thinking about it, Wang Dong was cheated by him, so it was normal for him to complain to his friends.
Everyone was in the business circle, so it was inevitable that they would hear such gossip.
"Hahaha, Boss Chen really doesn't play by the rules."
Ren Zhengfei did not point it out.
When the two of them were almost done eating, Ren Zhengfei said, "Boss Chen, are you interested in a cooperation?"
"What cooperation?"
Chen Yu put down his chopsticks.
After a round of pleasantries, the business finally came.
"Are you interested in working on mobile phones?"
"Mobile phones?"
Chen Yu was a little surprised. "It seems that Huawei is already in the mobile phone business."
"Boss Chen, our Huawei mobile phones have been beaten by your company, so we don't even have a chance to be on the shelves. Don't tease me."
"No, no … We have no choice, we are under a lot of pressure."
This was not out of politeness.
Although Chen Yu had taken over the ultra-low-end mobile phone market, he was really under a lot of pressure.
Not to mention other things, just building a production line of 10 million units would require a huge investment.
This was not a one-time investment. In order to maintain this advantage in the future, he had to continue to invest.
"Then we, Huawei, can help relieve Boss Chen's pressure."
"Boss Ren, what do you mean?"
"I don't know if Boss Chen is interested in helping Huawei OEM mobile phones."
"OEM?"
"Or OEM. Of course, we will pay the corresponding fees."
"This …"
After taking a sip of tea, Chen Yu carefully thought about the cooperation proposed by Ren Zhengfei.
Being an OEM or OEM for Huawei was naturally a good business.
Of course, Ren Zhengfei asked Chen Yu to do the OEM business because the cost of Huanyu Technologies' production line was low enough.
Although Huawei could do it on its own, it would cost more to build their own production line and make their own mobile phones.
It was better to find a stronger company and let them do the OEM.
However, how could Chen Yu be interested in such a small sum of money if he was only earning this little bit of commission fees?
He was not a short-sighted person.
It was not easy for him to take over the ultra-low-end mobile phone market. How could he allow Huawei mobile phones to enter?
"Sorry, Boss Ren, we don't want to do the OEM business for the time being."
After thinking about it, Chen Yu shook his head and refused.
"Boss Chen, don't be so quick to refuse."
Ren Zhengfei probably guessed that Chen Yu would refuse, so he proposed another condition. "What if I say that your company can use Huawei's mobile phone patent for free?"
