Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 370: End of Speech, New War
When the Ultimate Edition of Chen Mo appeared in the media at this year's Internet Conference, Li Yanhong's worries came true.

The list of most handsome entrepreneurs, which had not been updated for a long time, has changed, and all the entrepreneurs on the list have collectively taken a step back.

Chen Mo walked up the long steps to the top step by step and came to the top of the list. The media described him as "a hexagonal warrior with perfect looks, figure, ability, temperament and wealth."

In fact, he was a pentagonal warrior at the beginning, because Chen Mo's ordinary undergraduate degree still lagged behind in cultural aspect.

Even Wanda's prince graduated from the University of London, which is ranked among the top ten universities in the world. You should know that Peking University is ranked outside the top 10, never mind how he got in.

Fortunately, Chen Mo has another advantage, which is that he is single, making him the last piece of the hexagonal puzzle.

Chen Mo looked at the netizens calling him "husband" one after another under his Weibo. They used to be male gods, but after the scandal, they are now husbands.

I am a non-marriage believer, but when I looked online, I saw that he had countless wives and concubines.

You know what, this feeling is quite fresh.

That night, Chen Mo had a dream. He dreamed of returning to the Sui Dynasty and being chased by the licentious Emperor Yang of Sui. He was defeated after seeing his harem.
September 9th, the third day of the China Internet Conference.

At the main venue, the front row of the audience were leaders of relevant departments who were going to deliver speeches at the opening ceremony.

The second row is composed of representatives of well-known foreign groups, such as Amazon China CEO Wang Hanhua, Qualcomm Greater China President Wang Xiang, Microsoft Global Vice President, and Samsung Group representative.
Sitting from the third row onwards were representatives from companies that represented most of the Internet industry, and all the big names were there.

Lei Jun is of course a man to be mentioned, and the heads of the three major bat companies were also present at yesterday's roundtable forum, as well as 360's Lao Zhou and President Qi Xiangdong, HiChina's President, Dajie.com's CEO, Vianet's Vice President and many other entrepreneurs.

There was a row of media standing in the back, all of which were official media and online media from various provinces and cities, with full specifications.

The one who is giving a speech now is Lao Ma, and he will be the next one.

On the stage, Lao Ma was talking about e-commerce, boasting about how he made it easy to do business in the world and how he helped so many small and micro businesses turn losses into profits.
During this time, Chen Mo glanced outside. Wow~ There weren't many people, but their level was high. This level of audience made him feel as cramped as when he first attended Xiaomi's press conference.

Although Chen Mo was a little nervous, he was full of confidence because he had revised the draft of his speech several times over a week. Chen Tong even called together all the writers from the editorial team on the other side to polish this magnificent article.

After Lao Ma came down, the two men nodded in greeting, and then Chen Mo went on stage.

The eyes of the people in the audience lit up. Let’s not talk about the development of the Bian’an Group for now. Just based on Chen Mo’s image, it is estimated that the group can save the image endorsement fees in the future.

He didn't even need to speak, just standing on the stage was a pleasure to watch. It could be said that Chen Mo gave everyone a perfect first impression when he took the stage.

Of course, there are still some people who have a worse impression of him, such as Xiao Ma, Xiao Li, Lao Zhou and other friendly competitors who are familiar with Chen Mo.

When Lee Boo-jin, who was standing below the stage, looked at Chen Mo on the stage wearing the outfit she had bought for him that day, a hint of heat flashed in her originally cold eyes.

While adjusting the height of the microphone on the stage, Chen Mo glanced down and saw quite a few familiar faces. When he saw Lee Boo-jin, he couldn't help but blink.

Afterwards, the PPT warrior who had given press conferences found his long-lost account and logged back online to deliver a speech entitled "Changes, Development and Responsibilities of the Internet."

Chen Mo is an on-the-spot player. The bigger the occasion, the better he performs.

The entire speech was impromptu, with ups and downs, rich emotions, and the big screen behind him had the added halo of PPT, mixed with some little humor, which drew applause from the audience.

From a macro perspective, starting with mobile Internet, the article explains the general trend of the new era, and then extends to the opportunities and challenges of the Internet integration era;

From social and mobile development to practicing corporate social responsibility, and finally to building a safe and reliable Internet;
From jointly building a new industrial ecology, creating a new mobile Internet landscape, to coordinated development and win-win results for all parties.

Finally, he described the blueprint of the future mobile Internet, which shocked some people in the audience, as if it were a real story.

That one is more old than an old horse
The content of the speech was closely linked to the theme of this Internet Conference, "Openness, Integrity, and Integration". While expressing his own views, the corporate responsibility, social responsibility, and wealth responsibility of the Bi'an Group were fully realized. Chen Mo transformed into the Chinese weightlifting champion and shouldered all the responsibilities.

When the final speech was about the patriotism of the Bian'an Group as a Chinese enterprise, Chen Mo on the stage saw some senior leaders in the audience nodding their heads as they listened, and he knew that this time he had secured everything.

This time, Chen Mo's speech took nearly half an hour, and he bowed and left the stage amid warm applause from the audience.

At this moment, Chen Mo actually felt a little unsatisfied. No wonder the leader never stopped talking. This feeling was quite refreshing.

It's over. I've become stronger and worse.
In the afternoon, the major special venues opened and the flow of people dispersed.

Chen Mo first came to his own small piece of land, and Zhang Xiaolong talked on the stage about the development of social networking and user experience of mobile applications in the era of mobile Internet.

On the other side, Sun Ziwei seemed to have opened up his Ren and Du meridians after the last press conference and was no longer stage-frightened. He was debating online games and mobile games with Peng Jiaxin, vice president of Tencent Games and general manager of online game business.

After listening for a while, Chen Mo felt relieved and continued strolling.

Take a look at Meilishuo and Mogujie here, and discuss the beauty economics of e-commerce.

Listen to the Alipay executive over there talking about the e-commerce journey in the traditional industry.

Hmm? At the cybersecurity sub-venue, Zhou Hongyi changed his previous image of a sloppy little fat man, wearing a suit instead of a red shirt, and talked about various network risks on the stage and promoted his own 360 products.

In addition to the various sub-venues, the conference also set up corresponding booths for foreign manufacturers.

Chen Mo wandered around and came to the Samsung booth, where he saw Lee Boo-jin promoting her own business. It's true that being good-looking does give you an advantage, as the number of people at the Samsung booth was obviously much more lively than at the other booths.

Chen Mo found a seat and sat down, listening for a while.
Lee Boo-jin on the stage obviously also saw Chen Mo, her eyes lit up, the two smiled at each other and nodded slightly.

Instantly, the surrounding flash lights lit up, and it was obvious that this scene had already been captured by the media reporters who were waiting nearby.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Chen Mo stayed for a while before retreating.

Without even waiting until the evening, Chen Mo and Lee Boo-jin smiled at each other at 3 pm. Half an hour later, this photo appeared on the Internet.

The scandal craze that had just died down a while ago has come back again, causing heated discussions among netizens.

"The president and the princess look at each other across time and space, so sweet~"

"The hustle and bustle of the atmosphere and the noisy environment are not as good as you in my eyes"

"The way they looked at each other was so tearful, who would believe that there was no conspiracy behind it?"

After all, the majority of female netizens don’t care about industry trends or pioneering opinions. What does this have to do with them? There is no such thing as a good CP.

In addition to the news just now, the news about Chen Mo’s speech in the morning has begun to spread with the help of fans and has once again topped the hot search list.

This gave Chen Mo the illusion that the Weibo hot search list was like a bus, and he could get on it whenever he wanted. Even if he was not allowed to get on, he could still get on by spending some money to buy a ticket.

Chen Mo looked at the news on his phone and laughed. If Lee Boo-jin could complete the mission perfectly, her position in the family would be slightly more stable.

He remembered that Lee Jae-yong was later imprisoned and worked as a Korean tailor for a while, operating a sewing machine. Although he was finally pardoned by the president, this was Lee Boo-jin's best opportunity to turn things around.

Since the decision to bet has been made, the earlier the bet is made, the lower the cost. After several years of preparation and planning, Lee Kun-hee is already old and unable to turn the situation around.

With her support, Lee Boo-jin demonstrated her extraordinary business talent, which made those behind Samsung see and naturally choose a better person to make decisions for their own benefit.

If he succeeds in taking over, it will benefit Xiaomi, Bi'an and even the country at a macro level.

In other words, even if it fails, Samsung will fall into internal turmoil due to the power struggle, which is also a good thing.

Now that the goal has been set, all that remains is to make a plan and implement it. The scene just now was the beginning of his inspiration and the beginning of the plan.

By the fourth day of the conference, which was the public open day, all the industry leaders had left, which meant that this year's China Internet Conference had come to an end.

The conference discussed and expanded on multiple fields including mobile Internet, e-commerce, cloud computing, Internet of Things, online video, online marketing, network security, spam control, entrepreneurship and innovation.

16 forums were held successively, 166 domestic and foreign guests gave wonderful speeches, attracted in-depth coverage by 265 media outlets, and attracted more than 9000 spectators to attend the conference.

Chen Mo successfully completed his mission this time. In the eyes of the higher-ups, he should have passed the test and he breathed a sigh of relief.

During this period, in addition to the China Internet Conference, a major event also occurred in the mobile phone industry.

That's Apple's fall event.

2012年9月12日，华夏时间9月13日，苹果在美国旧金山芳草地艺术中心举行新品发布会。

After Jobs went to build mobile phones for God, he passed the baton of Apple to Cook.

At the press conference, Cook took out the new generation mobile phone iPhone 5.

This phone was the last iPhone that Steve Jobs participated in and gave detailed guidance during his lifetime. Therefore, before its release, the iPhone 5 was highly anticipated by the media and Apple fans.

I don't know what inspired this Apple press conference, but in addition to mobile phones, Apple released many products including iPad4, PadMini, iMac, etc., with the main theme of large quantity and sufficient supply.

The press conference was held on September 9 and the release date was set for October 12, but fortunately China was included in the first batch of sales.

Unlike Apple later, which just rested on its laurels and continued to sell for another year by upgrading its hardware, adding a few software features, and changing the color scheme.

As for AI, no matter what the reason is, China will have to wait until the second year to experience what others have left. Of course, this is also the basic operation of foreign products. Domestic consumers have long been accustomed to it after countless compliance tests.

Of course, this conference still maintains Apple's old tradition, focusing on high-end strategy.

iPhone5, 16GB version, starting at 5288.

PadMini, starting from 2000 yuan; iPad 3000th generation, starting from yuan;
The iMac (Apple all-in-one computer) is as high as more than 13000 yuan. Those who should criticize will continue to criticize, those who should buy will continue to buy, and those who should be scalpers will also fight desperately to grab it. After all, buying it is making a profit, and the purchasing power of Apple fans is proven.

At the Meizu headquarters, Huang Zhang convened an emergency meeting of Meizu executives after watching the entire Apple press conference.

President Bai Yongxiang, Senior Director of Mobile Internet Development Department and Head of Meizu Blue Product Line Li Nan, President of Meizu Flyme Business Unit Yang Yan and others gathered together.

Huang Zhang first displayed the information one by one on the projector. These were all the new products that all the competitors had launched in recent months that he had asked his subordinates to compile.

小米X3、三星Galaxy S3、诺基亚Lumia 920、酷派HD9960、OPPO Find 3、vivo S7、华为（P1、D1、P1XL、D1XL、D1Q）等机型。

This time with the addition of iPhone 5, all the mainstream models on the market are available.

Huang Zhang put his own MX2 on it and performed Chen's horizontal comparison method at the Meizu headquarters.

The top shows the appearance and model, the bottom shows the key configuration parameters, and the bottom shows the price information.

A horizontal scan will give you a clear view of the advantages and disadvantages of each company.

After half an hour of heated discussion, several other products were eliminated.

The first to be kicked out was the declining Nokia. Everyone could see that its market share, which once dominated the world, was replaced by iPhone and Xiaomi in just two years.

Coolpad and OV are not yet mature enough and do not pose a challenge.

In the past two years, Huawei has been trying to get rid of operator-branded phones and low-end feature phones and transform itself. Although there are many mid-to-high-end models of Huawei listed above, with prices ranging from 2500 to 4000, the overall cost-effectiveness is not high and there are no highlights. After analysis, they believe that there is no threat for the time being.

After the final screening, only Xiaomi, Samsung and Apple made it to the final round. They are also the top three mobile phone manufacturers in the world in terms of sales in the last cycle.

Meizu MX2 and Meizu Blue Note2 rolled off the production line and entered standby mode at the beginning of last month. Meizu could have actually held a press conference to compete with Xiaomi at the time.

However, this time Huang Zhang learned his lesson and deliberately delayed the press conference. During this period, the factory worked overtime day and night to frantically accumulate inventory, just to wait for all the friendly competitors to finish their press conferences.

After these companies announced their prices, Meizu took the initiative and started a price frenzy.

This is because after receiving a strategic investment of US$4 million from Alibaba, Meizu is now in a state of strong manpower and sufficient food and supplies, and can finally afford a protracted war.

At that time, Meizu and Alibaba signed a bet agreement that Meizu’s mobile phone sales would reach 12 million before the end of .

Ten million has never been a concern for Huang Zhang. He only has Xiaomi in his eyes. His biggest motivation is how to overthrow Xiaomi and ridicule someone with pride by relying on sales.

Therefore, how to set the price becomes the most critical part.

Products are important, but setting a price that meets consumers' psychological expectations, or exceeds expectations, is more important for the sales of a mobile phone.

Huang Zhang summarized the conclusion of this stage, sat at the top seat, and knocked on the table, "As for the price, let's discuss it, speak freely!"

Li Nan thought for a moment and spoke first, "The last success of Meizu Blue also shows from the side that good sales are brought about by price advantages. As long as the product quality is good, sales will generate word of mouth and form a virtuous circle."

Bai Yongxiang nodded in agreement. "Well, we can't compete with Apple's closed software ecosystem. We also don't have Samsung's high-end brand power and core components, such as powerful processors and high-definition large screens. But we have excellent design and a cost-effective strategy, so if we want to compete, we'd better compete with Xiaomi."

Yang Yan suggested, "With the successful pricing strategy of Meilan, why don't we continue to reduce the price of Xiaomi mobile phones by another 1 yuan this time?"

Li Nan, who is in charge of Meizu Blue, raised objections. "The current price of Xiaomi X3 is 2999 yuan, and Redmi H3 is still 799 yuan. Our 1 yuan reduction is useful, but it cannot change the general trend. The final result is still to follow Xiaomi and eat soup, and the distance between the two departments cannot be narrowed."

Bai Yongxiang expressed his own opinion, "Perhaps we can follow the strategy of Xiaomi when it first came out. We should not think about profits and costs. We are not short of funds now. We should first increase sales, and then improve our bargaining power and voice through sales."

"So what price would you like to set, Mr. Bai?" Li Nan asked.

Obviously Bai Yongxiang had expected this. Looking at the numbers he had recorded in his notebook, he said, "The price of Meizu MX2 has dropped by 300 yuan, and the price of Meizu Blue Note2 has dropped by 100 yuan. If the configurations are similar, the price difference will make up for the difference in user reputation and brand power between Meizu and Xiaomi."

Huang Zhang, who had been listening but not saying anything, shook his head after hearing Bai Yongxiang's price proposal. "We have to lower the price, but the intensity is not enough. Since we have to fight, Meizu must fight with the mentality that the first battle will be the decisive battle and the outcome will be decided in one battle.

既然要降就要降到底，魅族MX2比小米X3便宜500元定价2499元，魅蓝Note2比红米H3便宜200元定价599元，谁赞成谁反对？”

Out of respect for Mr. Huang's determination, no one present dared to object. They just lamented that the price Mr. Bai just mentioned was already a fair price.

Now the boss says that the flagship model will be reduced by 500 yuan, and the civilian model will be reduced by 200 yuan, which means that Meizu will lose money on every unit sold.

All the core managers of Meizu were present, and many of them had even witnessed how Da Huang and Xiao Lei went from being close friends to not wanting to have any contact with each other. Thinking about the price, they secretly sighed at how much Huang Zhang hated in order to win.

"If everyone has no objection to the price, then we'll set it. We'll hold the Meizu press conference on September 9th."

When Li Nan heard the date, his expression became solemn and he quickly reminded, "Uh, Boss, how about we change the date?"

"What's wrong with this day?" Huang Zhang reacted immediately, and was shocked. He almost made a principled mistake, and quickly changed his words.

"Well, you are right. Let's do September 9th. Also, I got a message through some channels that there may be a problem with the Nvidia version of Xiaomi X19. Li Nan, check the reviews of the Nvidia version of Xiaomi X3 online."

Huang Zhang, who has a keen sense of smell, had actually noticed at the beginning of this month that something was wrong with Xiaomi. Now Meizu and Qualcomm have become close partners, so the source of the information he just mentioned actually came from internal disclosures by Qualcomm senior management.

Yang Yan asked, "Will Lei Jun turn around and continue to seek reconciliation with Qualcomm?"

Huang Zhang sneered, "How is that possible? We are Qualcomm's closest partner right now. As long as our sales go up this time, Qualcomm will abandon Xiaomi and establish a long-term, stable cooperative relationship with us."

Bai Yongxiang suddenly understood, "No wonder Lei Jun asked his little brother to hang around the Samsung princess every day, and hyped up the rumors online every day. He was just using his beauty to promote cooperation with Samsung. Now it makes sense."

"Haha, that's all he can do, just some little tricks to attract attention, just ignore him for now.

I have suggested to Qualcomm that they should see if they can communicate with Samsung. As long as the possibility of cooperation between Xiaomi and Samsung is cut off, Qualcomm will stop supplying Xiaomi, and Xiaomi will be out of stock indefinitely."

Li Nan was about to ask why Qualcomm would follow their intentions, but then he understood, because Meizu and Qualcomm have the same interests.

Qualcomm cuts off Xiaomi's supply chain and supports Meizu's rise. If Meizu's sales increase significantly, Qualcomm will tell other Chinese mobile phone manufacturers that the success of Xiaomi does not lie in Xiaomi, but in Qualcomm.

If Xiaomi suddenly fails, Qualcomm and Meizu will both benefit, while other friendly companies will also get to share the spoils. Why not?

Therefore, the boss’s meaning is not that Meizu wants Qualcomm to do something, but that Qualcomm wants to do it this way, and Meizu is just going with the flow and adding fuel to the fire.

Then he heard Huang Zhang continue to say,

"In fact, Xiaomi wanted to have three burrows and not be controlled by others. As an old friend, I understand Lei Jun's intention. As a result, half of the new home collapsed and the original home started to leak. Now we are in a dilemma. What a pity~~~"

Huang Zheng said it was a pity, but the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger, and he was roaring in his heart,

I made the mobile phone!

I got the funds!
I don’t consider any costs or profits, now I just want to see how Xiaomi dies!
Two days later, Samsung.

After listening to the report from his confidant, Lee Kun-hee withdrew his gaze from the computer screen and asked curiously, "What a rare guest. Qualcomm would take the initiative to send us a foundry order? Is it such a good thing?"

"President, Qualcomm only put forward one condition for this cooperation, which is that we should not sign a contract with Xiaomi."

"Hmph~, they are quite well-informed, but their ideas are also very wishful."

"Then how do we respond?"

Lee Kun-hee did not answer, but asked, "How is Fuzhen's progress?"

"We have reached the final stage of negotiations with Xiaomi. If there is no external interference, the contract should be signed in the next one or two days. According to the last email, the chip purchase order is expected to be 2 billion won (10 billion yuan)."

"What is the scale of Qualcomm?"

"5 billion won~"

"Oh, it's quite a big investment."

"Why don't we let the young lady wait for a while? After all, the difference between the two is 3 billion, which is not a small amount."

Upon hearing this, Lee Kun-hee raised his hand, and his confidant immediately fell silent, "Don't disturb Fu Zhen, she is doing well over there, as for Qualcomm, let's just delay it for now."

"clear."

After the others left, Lee Kun-hee looked at the screen again. The screen showed Lee Boo-jin and Chen Mo smiling at each other.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen his daughter so relaxed and happy. Three years? Five years? Or...
The softest part of Lee Kun-hee's heart was slightly touched.

As the helmsman of a super-large-scale group, the current scale of hundreds of billions is of little significance. He needs to look deeper and farther to make the giant ship of Samsung sail more smoothly.
The power of the group was gradually transferred to the mediocre son, but when he got old, the one he couldn't let go of was his daughter.

Sometimes he even thought, how nice it would be if Jae-yong and Fu-jin’s genders were swapped, so that he could enjoy his old age without so many worries.

However, as Lee Kun-hee got to know Chen Mo better, he discovered that this kid was quite extraordinary and had great potential.

Whether it is the remarkable development path of Bi'an in the past, or the overall view, foresight and political sensitivity demonstrated in his recent speech at the Internet Conference, he is a leader among his peers.

If you want to do business and invest, you must do it early. If you wait another two years, with the speed at which this kid is developing, I'm afraid he won't look down on Fu Zhen by then.

After thinking about it, Lee Kun-hee called Lee Boo-jin.
