"Boss Chen, isn't it too high of a price for us to give away the sunken market?"
To be honest, Wu Kai and Zhou Yifei couldn't bear to see Chen Yu withdraw from the sunken low-end mobile phone market.
This market was the most important business for them when they entered the domestic mobile phone industry. It was also the business they were most proud of.
They didn't expect Chen Yu to say that he wanted to give up on this market.
"Haha, brother, I feel bad for you."
Chen Yu looked at Wu Kai and smiled.
"I'd be lying if I didn't feel bad for you."
Wu Kai said with great heartache, "Although we can't make much money from each mobile phone in the low-end market, we can still make a lot of profit if we sell a lot of them. I really can't bear to give it up all of a sudden. "
"There's no need to feel bad."
Chen Yu was very calm. "We didn't say that we'll withdraw all of them at once. We'll also look at the market's reaction. When the business we support exceeds our low-end mobile phone business, we can gradually accelerate the withdrawal. But if the business we support doesn't take off, then we'll just continue in this market. "
"You should've said so earlier, Boss Chen. You scared me. When you said that, I thought we'd all withdraw at once."
"Haha, actually, it's almost the same as withdrawing all of them. After a year, our low-end mobile phone business will be replaced by a series of other mobile phone brands. "
This other mobile phone brand was the copycat mobile phone Chen Yu was going to support.
However, although this business was a huge opportunity for ordinary people, to be honest, Wu Kai and the others, including Zhou Yifei, were not very optimistic about it. She also said, "Boss Chen, you're so optimistic about the mobile phone integration business?"
"The wisdom of the masses is invincible. Although they're weak for now, they can create mobile phones that are most suitable for the people of the country."
Why were copycat mobile phones popular in his previous life?
Other than the low price, more importantly, the copycat mobile phones did indeed meet the needs of countless users.
It could be said that the copycat mobile phones could give you any function you wanted.
Some of the functions were even better than some of the high-end mobile phones.
Even if Huanyu Technologies wanted to enter the low-end mobile phone market in the future, they might not be able to compete with these knockoffs.
Of course.
It wasn't that Chen Yu didn't care about his sinking mobile phone business.
Compared to the mobile phone market, he valued the entire mobile phone ecosystem more.
If he didn't want to be strangled by others in the future, he had to create his own mobile phone ecosystem.
The chip and system was the first step of Huanyu Technologies.
When the chip and system were completed, Chen Yu had to get involved with the rest of the mobile phone's spare parts.
Previously, Huanyu Technologies did not have many opportunities.
However, Chen Yu could not only promote his own chip and system, but he could also establish his entire mobile phone ecosystem by taking advantage of this opportunity to promote the counterfeit phone. The most important part of this ecosystem was the mobile phone industry chain.
As long as Huanyu Technologies controlled the entire mobile phone industry chain, not only would they not be afraid of others strangling them in the future, but Chen Yu would also be able to make the first move and strangle others.
Think about it.
In the future, the chip would be Chen Yu's, and the system would also be Chen Yu's.
The battery would be Chen Yu's, the speakers, and the camera would also be Chen Yu's.
Even if these didn't belong to Chen Yu, Chen Yu was still the world's largest supplier of mobile phone spare parts.
If you tried to strangle me, I would punish you first.
This was the real reason why Chen Yu was willing to give up on the low-end mobile phone market.
"Oh right, Boss Chen, if this is the case, I'm afraid that Huanyu International's production capacity won't be able to keep up."
Huanyu International's business was not very big previously, so their production capacity was not high.
Later on, although they expanded their production capacity after the Tianwen chip was released, they could not keep up with the market demand no matter how much they expanded.
Especially after the Tianwen II appeared, almost all domestic mobile phone manufacturers placed orders with Huanyu Technologies.
Apart from that, there was also the knockoff business that Huanyu Technologies was supporting.
Although there were not many orders for these knockoffs, there were only 10,000 orders, 20,000 orders, and 30,000 orders.
However, there were too many people who tried to copy it.
Hundreds and thousands of orders came in at once. Even if each order only produced 10,000 phones, the volume was still terrifying.
This was also why Chen Yu was certain that knockoffs had a chance to occupy the market.
If these people dared to place so many orders, they had the ability to sell these knockoff phones.
Even if they could not compete in the market, they would use other methods to sell.
Moreover, some of these knockoff phone manufacturers were individual studios. Some of them did not even register a company.
This also had a huge advantage in terms of taxation.
Of course, the higher-ups knew about this, but they would not care for the time being.
This was like a small private business. Although it seemed like they had to pay taxes, not many people paid taxes.
"That's true."
Chen Yu nodded.
Huanyu International's production capacity could not keep up, so they could only place orders with other OEM companies.
However, after all, Huanyu International had a strategic partnership with Chen Yu, and he was a major shareholder. Zhou Yifei did not know what Chen Yu was thinking.
"What did Boss Zhang say at Huanyu International?"
"Boss Zhang didn't say anything."
"Then place a chip manufacturing order with TSMC."
"TSMC is Huanyu International's most important competitor. It's not good to place an order with them."
"It's fine. I'll talk to Boss Zhang."
Actually, there was no need to talk about this.
Zhang Rujing was quite magnanimous. Huanyu International's production capacity could not keep up, so they could not keep waiting there.
They could only find other OEM companies to do the manufacturing.
Now, TSMC, Samsung, and a few European and American companies had the ability to do the manufacturing.
TSMC's OEM quality and cost-performance ratio were better than Samsung and other OEM companies.
Of course, Chen Yu did not really want to place an order with TSMC.
He had a trick up his sleeve.
Before this, Chen Yu had always wanted to poach Lin Benbo, but unfortunately, he had not been able to do so.
Chen Yu knew the biggest reason was that Lin Benbo still had hope in TSMC.
Since that was the case, Chen Yu would destroy Lin Benbo's hope.
However, Lin Benbo did not know about Chen Yu's plan.
At this time, he was still in the laboratory researching wet lithography technology.
In his opinion, the reason why Zhang Zhongmou did not agree was because he only provided the theory. The technology was not perfect yet.
There were still specific formulas and performance parameters that could not be provided.
It was indeed risky to enter rashly.
As a technology expert, what he was most proud of was his technical ability.
As long as he could research a series of important parameters, he believed that Zhang Zhongmou would seriously consider it.
