"Is Mr. Liu back?"
"Not yet."
"Did Mr. Liu give any instructions to the company these few days?"
"Not yet."
Back at Lenovo's headquarters, Yang Yuanqing's heart was in a mess.
Last time, Liu Chuanzhi's rejection of his call had given him a strong warning.
He knew that Liu Chuanzhi did not accidentally press the button.
The reason why there was no movement was because Yang Yuanqing knew that this was his last chance.
If he still couldn't deal with this matter properly, then he would really have to reconsider the issue of him taking over the job.
Seeing that Yang Yuanqing's expression was not good, the assistant hesitated but still said, "Boss Yang, there's another piece of bad news."
"Speak."
"Unicom also placed an order with Huanyu Technologies for 500,000 cell phones."
"I …"
Yang Yuanqing almost fainted.
Mobile alone was enough for them. He did not expect Unicom to be involved.
"Call Zhang Qing from the R&D department over."
Yang Yuanqing forced himself to calm down.
He knew that the more urgent the situation was, the more he needed to be calm.
It was not the worst time yet. He still had a chance.
"Boss Yang, you called for me?"
"Did you pay attention to Huanyu Technologies' mid-range cell phone?"
"Boss Yang, the cell phone in my hand is a mid-range cell phone released by Huanyu Technologies."
Zhang Qing guessed why Yang Yuanqing called him over. He took out a cell phone and handed it to Yang Yuanqing.
"It looks ordinary."
Yang Yuanqing looked at it briefly.
This cell phone was undoubtedly much better than the previous Tianyu cell phone released by Huanyu Technologies.
It was also more exquisite in all aspects.
However, it was a mid-range cell phone. 1,200 yuan was not a small amount.
It was normal to have this kind of workmanship.
"Huanyu Technologies took the 1.5 million orders from Mobile and Unicom just like that?"
1.5 million units was not a small amount.
Even if Huanyu Technologies did not need a distributor, they could enter the market with Mobile and Unicom's help.
Moreover, this was a mid-range phone.
Previously, they had been discussing how to surround Huanyu Technologies, but they did not expect that in the end, Huanyu Technologies would directly penetrate the market.
"Boss Yang, Huanyu Technologies doesn't have many innovations in terms of appearance. It doesn't have many advantages over our Lenovo phones and other manufacturers' phones. However, they have a very innovative feature, which is double card and double standby. "
"What does double card and double stay mean?"
"To put it simply, one phone can hold two SIM cards."
"I know. Previously, Nubia seemed to have such a function, but it wasn't popular with the market."
"Boss Yang, they've modified this function. Previously, although Nubia was able to store two cards in one phone, it was actually two cards … "
Zhang Qing explained to Yang Yuanqing the meaning of dual cards and dual standby.
After reading through the explanation, Yang Yuanqing finally understood why Mobile and Connect did what they did.
It wasn't that they really wanted to help Huanyu Technologies.
It wasn't that Huanyu Technologies used any tricks.
It was just that this dual card and dual standby service could greatly increase Mobile and Connect's business.
"Zhang Qing, let's develop this function immediately."
Almost instinctively, Yang Yuanqing ordered.
If Lenovo could also develop a dual card and dual standby function, then Lenovo would be able to turn the situation around.
Moreover, with their relationship with Lenovo, Mobile and Connect would definitely consider them if they had the same function.
However, although Yang Yuanqing thought this, Zhang Qing shook his head. "Boss Yang, this function will take some time to develop."
"How long will it take?"
"Half a year if it's short, a year if it's long."
"No, that's too long."
Yang Yuanqing shook his head.
Phones were being updated too quickly. Within half a year to a year, the market would have been dominated by others.
"Can it be faster?"
"This …"
Zhang Qing shook his head helplessly. "Although this function doesn't seem complicated, it won't be easy to develop. The best way is to buy the patent authorization of Huanyu Technologies. That way, we'll only need one month. "
"Why would they sell it?"
Yang Yuanqing snorted.
How could Huanyu Technologies not know about such a trump card?
No matter how much money you spent, they wouldn't sell it.
If it was Lenovo, it would be the same.
"Go out first, I'll think about it."
After asking Zhang Qing to leave, Yang Yuanqing contacted the people in charge of the various phone manufacturers.
"Boss Yang, can you develop a dual card and dual standby service?"
"We can, but it will take time."
"How long?"
"At least half a year."
"Half a year is too long."
Obviously, Yang Yuanqing had only contacted them, but the other phone manufacturers had also noticed the dual card and dual standby service.
Although the technology for this function wasn't complicated and everyone had the ability to develop it, it would take time.
If this was before, it wouldn't have mattered.
However, Huanyu Technologies had already seized the market. By the time they developed it, they would be too far behind.
"I heard that Nubia has dual card and dual standby technology. Can we buy their patent authorization and continue to develop it?"
"In theory, yes, but I asked about the technology. Even if we buy Nubia's patent authorization, it will take at least three months."
"Three months is still too long."
Electronic products were updated every two months.
Not to mention mobile phones.
Of course, this wasn't all.
The key was that Huanyu Technologies now had two god-level distributors, Mobile and Unicom.
With their help in the dark, they could seize more than half of the market in three months.
By that time, it would be almost useless for them to come up with the dual card and dual standby service.
"Why don't we ask Huanyu Technologies?"
"Do you think they'll sell it?"
"Although it's unlikely, who knows? Also, we can raise the price. Maybe they'll be interested. Also, we can make a deal with them. "
"That works too. However, Lenovo and Huanyu Technologies have fallen out. "
"It's okay. I'll ask them."
After ending the call with Xu Lihua, Xu Lihua prepared to make a trip to Huanyu Technologies.
However, it was different from what they had expected.
In fact, before Yang Yuanqing and Xu Lihua met, Huanyu Technologies had already discussed this issue.
Chen Yu had already made up his mind about the dual card and dual standby patent authorization.
Of course, he would sell it.
Not only would he sell it, but he would sell it quickly.
The reason why he had to sell it.
In addition to the considerable source of funding from the patent authorization.
The biggest benefit was that he could use this opportunity to start building the mobile phone ecosystem of Huanyu Technologies.
Yes.
What Chen Yu wanted to create was not an ordinary mobile phone.
What Chen Yu wanted to create was the entire mobile phone industry chain.
Not just the industry chain, but also the entire mobile phone ecosystem.
To create an ecosystem, he had to bind all mobile phone manufacturers and mobile phone software companies to his side.
For example, the dual card and dual standby patent.
You're using my patent, so I have to set the specifications for that series of specifications.
Other than that, the series of software that involved dual card and dual standby functions would have to follow Huanyu Technologies' specifications.
Unknowingly, this would strengthen the soft power of Huanyu Technologies and also secretly create his own ecosystem.
Just like Apple.
Apple relied on his iPhone to make countless companies work for them.
In this way, how could they compete with him in the future?
Sorry, as long as you're in my ecosystem, you won't even be qualified to compete with me in the future.
At most, you can only work for me.
Moreover, there was another benefit.
When all the mobile phone companies were bound to him, Chen Yu would have the power to dictate the fate of others.
