Chapter 461 Time MIPad

Author: Banlou Yaofeng

Qiancheng Automobile is only a small company, and it is too difficult to attract supply chain companies to settle in Xingsha. However, Honor is a big company. After BYD Electronics settled in, it will drive a lot of supply chain companies, including Honor's future core supplier BOE's AMOLED production line.

Star sand.

It is very difficult to achieve this. Inner Mongolia EEDS has made a lot of efforts to allow BOE to settle there. For example, BOE established an energy company there and transferred it this year, with a single profit of 3.7 billion yuan. It is absolutely impossible for Xingsha to pay so much

There are many, so Honor has to find ways to help BOE make money.

But BOE's products at this time cannot meet Honor's requirements. Even if Honor invests a lot of manpower and material resources to help BOE poach people from the LCD panel industry in Japan, South Korea and South Korea to improve technology, it will be useless. This has fallen into a vicious cycle. Without orders, it can't make money.

Once the money is available, BOE's ability to sustain blood production is weak. Historically, their financial report said: The global terminal electronics consumer market continued to be sluggish in 2011. Affected by this, the prices of the company's main LCD panel products continued to decline, resulting in the company's greater operating performance in 2011.

Loss...

It’s obvious that the smartphone industry is booming, but BOE is still losing money. What does this mean? It’s self-evident. They can’t lead the world now. But now they have financial and technical support from Honor. Although they can’t meet Honor’s requirements,

But make do with it.

Who should it be used for? Definitely not Honor. The acquisition of Motorola has not yet been finalized, and I don’t know when the integration will be completed. So, it is most suitable to open a vest. Amazon can have tablets, so should Jumei Shopee also have them?

Shiguang got this opportunity to cooperate with Honor. Why, of course, it’s because the name is good. It can’t be called Taobao Tmall, Jumei or Juhuasuan Mobile. It’s too ugly.

Time's first product is not a mobile phone, but a tablet. Honor adopted the ODM approach and designed a "cheap" tablet for Time, using Spreadtrum chips and KOS systems.

Some people may wonder, isn't KOS the core competitiveness of Honor? But the situation in China is different. Google Android cannot enter, and the user experience of the Android smartphones developed by China Cool Alliance is too poor, and the rough-grain mobile phone has been destroyed by him again. There is no

This catfish, even the chrysanthemum mobile phone that Yu Dazui just took over, has inferior product capabilities.

Of course, this is not just a problem for domestic mobile phones. Motorola’s smartphones have extremely low praise rates, and Samsung and HTC are slightly better. The key is talent. Domestic programmers who are capable of developing systems are not said to have been raided by Honor, but Honor has them.

We have the largest number of system development talents in the country. No one would object to this statement.

It is difficult for domestic companies to poach employees from Honor. Not to mention non-compete agreements, equity incentive plans generally have a three-year lock-in period. How much does a company have to pay if it wants to poach employees?

Therefore, Honor is opening KOS to the domestic market, and Google is tightening Android brand licensing to see if it can use domestic profits to make up for overseas losses. This is a difficult matter, and the success rate is not high, so I won’t be willing to give it a try if I don’t.

Besides, he is doing a good deed by reducing the work intensity of mobile phones and regulating the mobile phone application market.

Honor's first step is to open the app store and develop PC management software and mobile APP, allowing users to use the KOS app store on other Android phones. It still uses cash capabilities to subsidize domestic developers and give them priority to adapt to KOS requirements.

match.

In fact, Time MiPad was developed by Honor. It uses a 9.7-inch BOE TFT LCD screen, 8G, and 16G Changjiang storage. It achieves the ultimate cost-effectiveness. It sells for about US$200. The domestic price is 1,499 yuan, and the high-end version is 1,999 yuan. The reason why

In doing so, it’s more or less like being polite before attacking: If you don’t cooperate, I will directly enter the mid-to-low-end mobile phone market. It also serves as a demonstration to determine consumer acceptance. If Time MiPad can sell well, it means that the KOS system has enough

Attraction.

As for Time Group, it not only sells tablets but also e-book readers. But not now. In 2011, all kinds of domestic companies entered the market one after another and launched a large number of messy products. In the end, they all disappeared into dust. By the time Time Reading has accumulated a certain amount of

Resources, Jumei needs to develop the e-book business and be able to create high-quality products, and time will enter the game.

As for mobile phones, look at Honor’s control over Motorola. Even if it manufactures mobile phones, it will use the ODM model to train a team at most to optimize and adapt to the KOS system.

Of course, the MiPad tablet is entrusted to BYD Electronics for manufacturing and sales at Jumei Shopee, and Jumei Logistics is responsible for transportation and distribution. Shi Guang still has to arrange a dedicated person to handle the whole thing, because there is no plan to make it bigger and stronger and create greater glory.

Therefore, he did not recruit the big names in his impression, so he chose Lu Weibing, who had overseas marketing experience in Tianyu.

"What I want to do is an Internet e-commerce brand. I will definitely make tablets and e-book readers. Other mobile phones and other consumer electronic products are at your disposal. The resources I can provide are limited. Time Jumei's advertising and traffic resources, before

It has to be paid to Honor in a few years. The money from Jumei can be paid in advance. The purchase of spare parts for the first-generation MiPad tablet can be paid by Honor. In the future, you will have to find a way on your own..." Qu Li said, he came to Lu Weibing because of this person

Fierce and aggressive, no worse than Yu Dazui, but the platform is different, which limits his development.

"How about it? Do you have the confidence to take on this task and set up the entire hardware department of Time alone?" Qu Li personally communicated with Lu Weibing

"I still have some questions..." Lu Weibing did not agree directly.

"You ask!" Qu Li sat firmly on the Diaoyutai

"The relationship between time and Jumei?"

"Like Glory and Qiancheng."

"What kind of company is Time?"

"It was originally the innovation business department of Jumei, a mobile Internet company. Now because Honor temporarily needs a vest, so..."

"Why not use Time as the brand, but use MiPad?"

"You can first use the Chinese brand of Time domestically, and MIPad for the international part. This is because you are worried that if you do too well and develop too fast, you will split it off and refinance. Then you can think of a name yourself, such as rice and Xiaomi.

..." Qu Li seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Lu Weibing didn't know what was so funny about this. He felt that Qu Li didn't pay attention to this project, but he provided a lot of resources. He prepared an order of 1 million from the beginning. According to the minimum selling price of 200 US dollars, he sold all of them and earned 200 million US dollars.

, the funds are actually quite abundant.

“How much start-up capital can I have?”

"I've prepared 100 million for you, and I can't give you a penny more." Qu Li is quite generous. Although Shi Guang has basically no income now, if he really wants to do this, he should ask Lu Qi and venture capital for money.

"Okay, I'll take it!" Lu Weibing stood up suddenly. He was now

"I wish you good luck!" Qu Li also stood up and shook his hand.
