248 Very Round Flatbread

Based on the above reasons, Prince Wang is still full of confidence in this cooperation with Huawei. Therefore, although he attaches great importance to the meeting the next day, his mentality is very relaxed.

But the atmosphere was very serious when the senior executives of both sides sat together the next day. It was obvious that the senior executives of Huawei attached more importance to this meeting than the Prince of Tang Technology.

"Mr. Wang, if we really follow the plan you give, it means that our overall product layout and strategic focus will shift to the high-end mobile phone field. In the early stage, we need a large amount of capital to prepare for the next generation of model research and development. If your technology cannot be provided to us on time in the end, it will be very pressured for Huawei."

The person who spoke was the director of Huawei's strategic marketing department. Obviously, after receiving the plan from Datang Crown Technology, Huawei had conducted countless discussions internally. Although it could not refuse the temptation to move towards high-end fields, it was still worried about the requirements put forward by some Datang Crown Technology, and took this opportunity to put it out directly.

Of course, this is inevitable. Huawei is one of the best high-tech companies in China. Its products also occupy a place in the world, and its shipments are almost closely followed by Apple and Samsung. Of course, this is also related to Huawei's smartphones being more cost-effective. Rampantly changing marketing strategies will naturally make you worry about having a greater impact on your performance, so you naturally need to consider more steadily.

"You don't have to worry too much about this. I believe you have also studied the technical information we provide, including some of the underlying instruction sets and some technical parameters. You should also have a rough conclusion. In fact, we have already grasped the key technologies. What you need to do now is to speed up the definition and architectural design of new products. Of course, it is definitely necessary to increase investment in funds. Concentrating efforts to produce new models in the future is naturally a necessary choice."

"The reason we chose is Huawei, Xiaomi and Apple for the time being is because these three companies are the leading companies in the current smartphone market and perform well in the international market. Everyone has further requirements. Moreover, these three companies are the companies that first signed a contract with us when Datang Crown Technology encountered some minor troubles. This means that both parties are at least trustworthy, so the initial scientific research investment of 5 billion yuan is really not expensive."

Prince Wang said that he pondered for a while before he continued: "Of course, this is just a plan. If you feel that the risk is too great and are unwilling to invest rashly, we will not force it. It is also a good choice to continue to cooperate in the current form of cooperation."

"No, no, no. Mr. Wang misunderstood what we mean. We just hope that you can provide certain preferential policies for future authorization funds and Huawei's early research funds..." The marketing director hurriedly said.

"Oh, no..." Prince Wang sighed and waved his hand, "I believe you also know that the investment in scientific research is the most expensive. To be honest, although Prince Datang has mastered the key technology of 3D virtual screens, the subsequent R&D work is also expensive. Based on the existing battery capacity, the future 3D virtual phones must last as long as possible. You can also imagine that the operating system is streamlined and low-consumption requirements are high, but this is only the initial investment, not only the system needs to be optimized. More importantly, the power consumption of the entire mobile phone must also be reduced, and the investment in this area will be even greater."

"So if you want to join this unformed alliance, your company really can't save this money. In addition, reducing power consumption is only a last resort. We cannot pin all our hopes on the freshness of consumers. To enable our 3D virtual phone to be fully turned on, we can still last for a long time and we need to invest in the research and development of new battery energy, which is also within the scope of our subsequent development of the Tang Dynasty Prince. These require a lot of investment. Moreover, as far as I know, Huawei has always been not stingy in scientific research investment, and this should be no exception this time."

The director smiled bitterly, and he was too lazy to talk to him. Anyway, the boss who had to sit aside finally decided on this matter.

The key is that the person on the other side is too powerful to confuse concepts. Is this the same thing? Huawei is quite generous in investing in scientific research, but the money invested in the technology developed by itself. Now I give the money to Datang Crown Technology. The technology developed by someone else. If you want to use it, you have to continue to spend money to obtain authorization. Whether it is worthwhile or not is worth it.

Although the contract given by Datang Crown Technology guarantees a one-year buffer period for mobile phone manufacturers that cooperate first, that is, from the time this technology is officially launched, the technology will never be authorized to other manufacturers. Moreover, the price authorized to other manufacturers after one year is at least twice theirs, it is really necessary to bet that this technology will not have any major problems after it is launched, and it is also necessary to bet that Datang Crown can deliver this technology to them as scheduled, otherwise they will not only pay huge amounts of R&D funds, but also the preliminary preparations will be in vain...

In short, this is a standard opportunity and risk coexist. It is obvious that he, the director-level figure, can interrupt the decision.

The next moment, Ren Zhiyuan, who had been listening quietly to the two sides' answers, suddenly spoke, "Mr. Wang, you just said that your company will develop new battery technology in the future? I wonder if this project has started to be launched?"

"No, I dare not spend such a big deal for the time being. Of course, if this project is officially launched in the future and results are achieved, with our cooperative relationship, our new battery will definitely give Huawei a relatively preferential price!" Prince Wang replied seriously.

A group of Huawei executives next to them all rolled their eyes and talked about a technology that had not even been established. This cake was drawn very far, giving people the feeling that it could be developed by R&D. Can we be more pragmatic? By the way, so many companies invest hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in R&D of new batteries every year, but no one has made any breakthroughs yet...

"Then this must also be written into the contract."

Ren Zhiyuan's answer fell sharply again, and all Huawei executives' glasses were on the scene. Can the chairman not be so honest? You really believe it if you draw a cake? When did the trust between people in this society become so high?

"Of course this is fine!" Prince Wang nodded with a natural look. (To be continued...)
