Chapter 491 Four Brands

"Alright, you always have a bunch of grand principles to spout. Although you can't provide us with the source code, you should still give us some related code. Microsoft did that!" the old man said. Wasn't Chen Yu using Microsoft as an example?

So he used Microsoft to shut Chen Yu up.

"Alright, I'll give you some code, but don't get your hopes up too high. Of course, this code should take you some time to digest. But as a price, you have to agree to one condition!" Chen Yu was no pushover either.

"Speak?!" The old man did not refuse immediately, but intended to hear Chen Yu's conditions first.

"It's very simple. Make sure the quality of domestic oil meets my requirements, and the price cannot exceed three percent of the current oil price!" Chen Yu said softly.

"Why the sudden request?! It seems you don't have an oil business, do you?! Or is it that your cars require high-quality fuel?!" the old man asked.

"Pretty much. My car follows an environmentally friendly approach, so it goes far in terms of emissions. Good emissions require good fuel, but the quality of fuel in China is really not good. So I need to improve the quality of the fuel, but I can't raise the price!" Chen Yu nodded and said.

"I can't decide that. After all, upgrading fuel quality is no small matter, and it involves many things. Besides, the requirements of the engines will be different after the fuel quality is upgraded. And if the fuel quality is improved, who am I going to sell it to?" the old man said irritably. Although he didn't know much about gasoline and cars, he knew that the type of gasoline corresponding to a certain engine was basically fixed, otherwise it might produce other unexpected effects.

“I know, that’s why I asked you not to raise prices. Improving the quality of the oil doesn’t cost much, but transportation, storage, and sales do require certain costs!” Chen Yu said with a light smile.

The old man was speechless. This guy really had ulterior motives.

The reason for not raising prices is not because of improved oil quality, but because of the cost of setting up sales channels, which is no small expense.

"Alright, I promise you!" the old man said after a moment of silence.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate. When shall we sign the contract? Oh, and I should mention that the fuel must arrive within four months. I need to see fuel that meets my quality requirements at every gas station across the country!" Chen Yu added.

"Do you know what I want to do right now?!" The old man looked at Chen Yu calmly and said softly.

"It's definitely not a good thing. I can't refuse, because when the car is launched, there won't be any fuel left, right?! You know I'm short of money right now. I still have hundreds of thousands of workers in Zhouxu waiting for me to support them!" Chen Yu chuckled and complained.

"Understood!" The old man fell silent upon hearing this. This was also the reason why the country made such concessions. Chen Yu had invested most of his earnings in Zhouxu, investing domestically. It was as if the money he spent with his left hand was being brought back with his right.

The other elderly people were somewhat surprised by the old man's attitude. They had thought he would refuse, but they underestimated his tolerance and willingness to compromise.

"Thank you!" Chen Yu said with a gentle smile.

Chen Yu believed the old man's promise; if he said he would fulfill it within four months, he would definitely do so, even if the price was high.

But so what?!

His emission standards are based on Euro VI.

It is several times stricter than the Euro 5 that is about to be implemented.

The next step, naturally, is to discuss the contract.

Contract negotiations should naturally be handled by professionals.

Because a general consensus was reached, the contract was drafted very quickly.

"The contract has been signed. When will the smart device be delivered?" the old man asked after signing the contract.

"Just give me the money, the land transfer certificate, and everything I need, and I'll deliver it immediately! I'll even throw in a set of equipment!" Chen Yu said with a light smile.

"You're ruthless!" The old man glared at Chen Yu fiercely. This guy really doesn't act until he sees a clear benefit.

Within a week, everything Chen Yu needed was laid out in front of him.

"Please wait, come and pick up your things in three days! Bring a truck!" Chen Yu said with a light smile to the person who came to deliver the goods.

Three days later, the government sent people to retrieve the weapon that Chen Yu had prepared long ago.

However, this intelligence has been significantly reduced in scope. Most importantly, its activity range is limited to the Chinese mainland and it cannot be taken outside of China.

Of course, Chen Yu didn't tell the other party this directly, but did it silently. Chen Yu was worried that spies might leak the information and steal it at any cost. That's why he adopted this method.

As for cloud technology and crazy, Chen Yu was naturally not afraid, mainly because he controlled Da Bao and Xiao You. If Chen Yu wanted to, he could make these two intelligent devices disappear in a second.

Just as Chen Yu was preparing to continue filming the second season of "iPartment", a phone call from Liang Wen disrupted his plans.

"Liang Wen, why do you insist on having me launch the phones?!" Chen Yu looked at Liang Wen with some helplessness, then at the twelve phones in front of him, and said with a touch of exasperation.

There are twelve brands across four categories. Among them are vivo, which targets women; Xiaomi, known for its cost-effectiveness; Yixiu, with its artistic style; and Yun Technology, whose flagship phone is the pinnacle of its line. All of these are built using the best hardware in the industry, and their craftsmanship is unparalleled.

vivo primarily targets female consumers and, following Chen Yu's suggestion, emphasizes beauty features.

Chen Yu tried it out and found the beauty filter to be quite good, with excellent results.

It's comparable to the budget smartphones of 2016.

As for the screen, it uses a standard OGS touchscreen, which offers a decent experience, but it's far inferior to in-cell and on-cell technologies.

Because in-cell technology is used in the official flagship phone of Cloud Technology, this vivo phone doesn't use it.

Of course, the beautification technology is still quite good on flagship phones.

However, the price of the flagship model is no less than that of the iPhone, so it is not affordable for the average person.

As for Xiaomi, it is a brand with extremely high cost performance, but because it operates at zero profit, it is impossible to sell on a large scale.

The only option is to adopt the scarcity marketing strategy used in later generations; at least for now, this is the only way.

Then there's Ikkyu, which focuses on literary and artistic elements. The price-performance ratio is average, but its design is quite good and it has a literary and artistic feel.

Each of the four brands has its own unique characteristics.

However, they are all subsidiaries controlled by the cloud technology group.
