"Mr. Jin, long time no see."
"Yes, Boss Chen, long time no see."
Jin Zhijiang did not expect to meet Chen Yu again in such a way after Bubugao and Huanyu Technologies had parted ways. Back then, the Bubugao trio was in high spirits and threw themselves into the mobile phone market. They wanted to be like Jin Li and Liu Lirong and make their own achievements. However, they did not expect the mobile phone market to be so difficult. Although they had indeed opened up some markets, they were beaten to a pulp by another company in the entire mobile phone industry.
And this company was Huanyu Technologies, the company that had parted ways with them.
What an irony.
"Is Mr. Duan doing well?"
Unlike Jin Zhijiang, Chen Yu did not have any resentment or conflict when he saw Jin Zhijiang again.
Although Jin Zhijiang was his competitor, they had worked together before.
When Chen Yu saw Jin Zhijiang, he felt like he was meeting an old friend.
Although they had been competitors for a long time, they had not seen each other for a long time.
"You know, Mr. Duan is used to being a wild crane. He's still in the US."
"I envy Mr. Duan's life, but I can't learn."
That was true.
As for not being able to learn, it was not that Chen Yu did not know how to enjoy life.
The main reason was that Chen Yu was extremely unhappy when he thought about how he had been choked by others in the internet, manufacturing, and semiconductor industries in his previous life. He could not change in his previous life, but in this life, he had to fight them.
"Boss Chen, I'm here this time …"
"Mr. Jin, I know why you're here this time. However, I don't want to talk about that now. Let's talk about mp3 first. How's your mp3 business doing? "
Both Bubugao and Huanyu Technologies were in the mp3 business.
Huanyu Technologies had taken over the Pear mp3 brand because they had parted ways.
However, although Bubugao did not have Pear mp3, they had also launched their own product, Bubugao mp3.
"It's selling well, but of course, it can't compare to Pear MP3."
"I feel like you guys are focusing on the mobile phone."
"That is indeed the case."
Kim Zhijiang nodded. "Although MP3 is a good product, it's still a niche product. Although it's profitable, it can't be sold in large quantities."
"It's true that the focus is on mobile phones, but I think we can put more effort into MP3 players. This might be more beneficial for Bubugao. I've always felt that MP3 players have a lot in common with mobile phones. "
"Thank you for your reminder, Boss Chen. We will consider your suggestion seriously."
After that, Chen Yu and Jin Zhijiang talked about other things.
They talked about computers, mobile phones, and marketing, but they didn't talk about YY instant messaging.
"Boss Chen, sorry for disturbing you this time. I'll take my leave now."
After staying at Huanyu Technologies for a day, Jin Zhijiang sighed helplessly when he saw that Chen Yu had not talked about instant messaging.
He understood that judging from Chen Yu's appearance, he did not intend to cooperate with them anymore.
However, before he left, Jin Zhijiang tried to ask, "Boss Chen, about your company's instant messaging YY, do you …"
"Mr. Jin, you came here personally. Do you think I'll make things difficult for you?"
He winked at Jin Zhijiang.
Jin Zhijiang suddenly understood and said happily, "Boss Chen, look at me … Thank you, Boss Chen. Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for? Actually, I've always wanted to thank you, Mr. Jin. Without your Bubugao, I wouldn't have been able to enter the mobile phone industry."
Chen Yu had always been a grateful person.
Although he was separated from Bubugao, his previous cooperation with Bubugao allowed Chen Yu to come into contact with the manufacturing industry for the first time.
Moreover, on this basis, Huanyu Technologies broke into the mobile phone industry.
Without Bubugao, although Chen Yu could have found an opportunity to enter the mobile phone industry, it would have been much more difficult.
"No matter what, I have to thank Boss Chen this time. Also, I want to apologize to Boss Chen for what happened last time. "
Chen Yu knew what happened last time. He was referring to Lenovo's blocking of Huanyu's mobile phone sales channels.
Chen Yu waved his hand. "It's nothing. It's just a business tactic. If it were us, we would have done the same."
…
"Boss Chen agreed to Jin Zhijiang's request just like that?"
"When we cooperated with Bubugao, Jin Zhijiang came forward. Did he have to wait for Duan Yongping to come forward before he agreed?"
"That's not what I meant. I mean, isn't it …"
"Are you saying that it's too easy for them?"
"Yes, yes, yes. That's what I meant."
Zhang Jianming nodded.
He was not opposed to opening up YY.
YY was an instant messaging service. He wanted everyone in China to use it.
If he used YY as a weapon, it would obviously force some people to cooperate with MSN.
Although it seemed that not many people used MSN for the time being, if he forced a group of mobile phone manufacturers to cooperate with Microsoft, he would undoubtedly be cultivating competitors for himself.
"Haha, Brother Jian, do you think I'll let them off so easily?"
Chen Yu smiled. "Of course, we can open up our YY app to Bubugao as soon as possible. But other than Bubugao, it's a different story."
Zhang Jianming immediately understood what Chen Yu meant.
He had the YY mobile app in his hands.
Whether Huanyu Technologies chose Bubugao or Lenovo was up to Huanyu Technologies.
Even if Huanyu Technologies chose Bubugao or Lenovo, it was still up to Huanyu Technologies to decide when to cooperate with them.
The market waited for no one.
As long as Huanyu Technologies delayed them for a while, it would be a huge blow to these mobile phone manufacturers.
Since that was the case, Huanyu Technologies immediately launched a Bubugao version of YY instant messaging.
After a while, Huanyu Technologies launched a Dopuda version of YY.
After a while, Huanyu Technologies launched a Huawei version of YY.
As for why they wanted to cooperate with Dopuda and Huawei, it was very simple.
Dopuda had recently sent a representative to cooperate with Huanyu Technologies.
Dopuda had always been a giant in the electronics industry. In the future, if Huanyu Technologies wanted to go high-end, they would have to absorb Dopuda's technology.
Regarding this, Chen Yu naturally gave a certain amount of repayment.
As for Huawei, although they were competitors, Huanyu Technologies also took a lot of their technology from Huawei. In addition, Ren Zhengfei was someone that Chen Yu admired very much, so he launched Huawei first.
However, other than these three companies, the others … depended on Huanyu Technologies' mood.
For example, whenever Chen Yu was happy, he would launch another mobile version of YY.
As for why they were too shameless and couldn't launch multiple versions at once?
Logically speaking, it was quite troublesome to launch multiple mobile versions of instant messaging at once.
After all, mobile phones now were different from smartphones in his previous life.
In his previous life, smartphones only had two operating systems.
One was Apple, and the other was Android.
Every major application only had to be made in two versions.
Anyway, it was either Apple or Android.
But now, the operating systems used by various mobile phone manufacturers were a mess.
Nokia had Nokia's Symbian operating system.
Sharp had Sharp's operating system.
Similarly, domestic mobile phones had their own domestic operating system.
As for why it was so awesome, it was because every company had their own operating system.
This was mainly because the operating system was relatively simple. Other than the Symbian operating system, some only needed to handle some simple commands. For systems like this, let alone a company, even a few programmers would be able to write them.
Plus, no mobile phone company had established its own mobile phone ecosystem.
So there was no issue of compatibility. Everyone did their own thing.
Even on high-end phones, no one thought that the operating system was that awesome.
At most, people would only think of it as a slightly more powerful feature in the mobile phone.
With so many mobile phones, it was indeed troublesome to launch dozens of YY instant messaging versions at once.
Of course, this was not the most important thing.
For things like this, as long as you wanted to develop, Huanyu Technologies could create hundreds of versions overnight.
The reason why they took it slow …
It was because of other reasons.
Okay.
Let's be clear.
This was a problem of "taking sides" …
