Chapter 68 Meeting with Huang Zhang
Meizu, as the most influential top technology company in China, has officially gained popularity and reputation in China by relying on its MP3 and MP4 products.
The company is able to fight its way out of the chaotic electronics market. As the leader of the company, Huang Zhang can be regarded as a legendary figure in the entire technology field.
Born as a carpenter, graduated from junior high school.
But he was able to rely on his own vision and ingenuity in product manufacturing to eventually make the company bigger and stronger.
In terms of product design and production, Meizu is indeed much better than other brands of products.
Zhu City, as a window for domestic economic opening up, Meizu Technology Company is located in this city.
Relying on strong technical strength and policy subsidies, the Mei people are thriving in the industry.
However, within the past month, the company's product sales have shrunk significantly.
This also made the company pay attention to "HeiZi MP4" which has recently become popular in the industry.
"The touch screen control product design is simply a genius design. Future electronic products may only need one screen to complete all operations!"
Regarding the products of his competitors, Huang Zhang is not stingy in his appreciation of his friends.
He even thinks that touch screen control may become a breakthrough for the industry's future development, and as the Mei people who have gradually gained a certain status in the MP4 industry, they will never miss this opportunity.
"Boss, we contacted overseas companies such as Sharp, but they didn't give us any response!"
"As for domestic companies that can produce this type of screen, we have found three. However, the quotations of these three manufacturers basically fluctuate around 1,000 yuan. At the same time, these manufacturers also require us to pay high mold opening costs!"<
/p>
Hearing the news reported by the company's managers responsible for purchasing, Huang Zhang, the helmsman of Meizu Company, also had a look of helplessness in his eyes.
In his eyes, the current touch screen operation is the main trend in the development of electronic products in the future, but it is really difficult for companies to obtain such components.
The top overseas screen manufacturers ignore the famous Mei people in China.
As for the screen panels produced by domestic manufacturers of such screens, the standards are uneven.
Moreover, the high mold opening fees and manufacturing production costs also made Huang Zhang a little anxious.
In Huang Zhang's eyes, although these domestic screen manufacturers claim to be able to produce similar screens, the quality of the screens they produce is much lower than that of top overseas screen manufacturers.
Not only is the screen quality much worse, the price is still high, which also makes Meizu, as a downstream integrator, unwilling to spend a lot of time introducing screens from these manufacturers.
"Send someone to find out which manufacturer the screen used in the HeiZi MP4 brand comes from, and see if we can reach a cooperation with this manufacturer!"
After thinking for a moment, Huang Zhang had already made up his mind.
"HeiZI" is the most popular product in the modern MP4 market, and Huang Zhang also set out to get one.
Huang Zhang's evaluation of this product has always been very high.
Although the screen used in this product cannot reach the top level in the industry, its color accuracy is not bad.
Huang Zhang also hopes to find a screen supply chain manufacturer for this product and establish a cooperative relationship with them to obtain this type of screen supply.
According to Huang Zhang's plan, if the company can really catch up with this supply chain manufacturer, then the company can completely save part of the mold opening costs when producing screens.
Directly choosing the same type of screen as "HeiZi MP4" can save the mold opening cost, thereby truly achieving product cost controllability.
Soon Feiteng Microelectronics' information appeared on Huang Zhang's desk.
Looking at the information in front of him, Huang Zhang was also a little surprised.
He also did not expect that the screen supply chain manufacturer this time would be a domestic screen factory.
I never expected that the helm of the screen manufacturer this time would be the famous Xu Cong.
Xu Cong, since the product "HeiZI" became the most popular electronic product during the Chinese New Year this year, many electronic technology manufacturers have also learned about the Hongjun Communication Equipment Company behind it.
And Xu Cong is the chairman of this company.
At the same time, with the popularity of spoof dance videos, the relationship between Xu Cong and "HeiZi" has long been exposed to the public's vision.
It's just that Huang Zhang really didn't expect that the other party also has a screen factory that specializes in producing screens.
Think again about the popular games and communication software of Wanxiang Network Technology on the Internet, as well as the 460 Security Guard that must be installed on computers.
As well as the company Xu Cong has invested in and built in the physical field, Huang Zhang, who has been ups and downs in the entire business world for a long time, began to have a strong interest in this young man Xu Cong.
According to the news on the Internet, Xu Cong is just 26 years old now, and being able to achieve such results at the age of 26 is already outstanding among his peers.
Soon Huang Zhang contacted Xu Cong and wanted to have a meal with Xu Cong in his own name.
After Xu Cong got the invitation, he also agreed to Huang Zhang's invitation.
Xu Cong still wanted to meet Huang Zhang, who would leave a legend in the field of electronic communications in the future.
In his own plane, Steve Jobs has always been a representative figure in the field of science and technology. Even many people in the field of science and technology in China hope to be called the Steve Jobs of China.
The first person in the country to be called the Chinese Steve Jobs was not Rebus, who would achieve outstanding results in the future, but Huang Zhang, who had not even graduated from junior high school.
Huang Zhang decisively discovered the opportunities for the future development of smartphones before the release of smartphones became a real hit.
Meizu's main business at that time, MP4, had basically occupied half of the industry. However, after Huang Zhang realized the development opportunities in the electronic field in the future, he decisively stopped the production of MP4-type products.
And began to gradually explore the field of smartphones.
Meizu is the first domestic manufacturer to produce and release smartphones. Although its first product subsequently fell into the "plagiarism" controversy.
But it has to be said that as the first domestically produced smartphone, Meizu’s product still has its own merits.
And the Microsoft system it is equipped with also allows this product to officially enter Microsoft's museum and become its collection exhibit.
Even when Rebus, who had retired at the time, wanted to re-enter the field of smartphones, he thought of learning from "Huang Zhang".
Because at that time, Huang Zhang had already earned the title of Steve Jobs of China by relying on the smartphones produced by his company.
In Rebus's eyes, Huang Zhang is the best person in China who can make smartphones.
It's a pity that the disciples were taught and the master starved to death.
Of course, it can also be said that one is better than the other.
After gaining a lot of experience in Huang Zhang's hands, Rebus relied on his own understanding of the Internet to combine smartphones and the Internet to create a new smartphone brand.
The products of this brand rely on the Internet operation model, coupled with the "ultimate cost performance" and "exclusively customized system UI", and eventually became famous in the entire technology field.
And the name of the second generation of Chinese Jobs was taken over by Rebus.
I have to say that Huang Zhang has strength and a certain vision.
Although later his company's brand began to falter, and he even needed to sell the company's shares in order for the company to be revitalized and upgraded.
But it is undeniable that Huang Zhang is indeed a very capable person.
At least in such chaotic market competition, being able to persist for such a long time also proves that Huang Zhang has the ability and means.
Shenzhen City, a private tavern!
Huang Zhang specially invited Xu Cong to have dinner in this private tavern this time.
Choosing to eat here also has a profound meaning. The first place is close to Shenzhen City, where Feiteng Microelectronics and Red Army Communications Equipment Company are both located.
Although Huang Zhang invited the other party in a private name this time, he still hoped to get on Xu Cong's line.
Secondly, this bar is privately owned by Huang Zhang, which can be regarded as Huang Zhang’s property besides the Mei clan.
Huang Zhang was born as a carpenter and finally achieved a career through many years of hard work. In addition to running his business, Huang Zhang also likes drinking and fishing.
This private tavern can be regarded as Huang Zhang's property to enjoy life. There is a small pond near the tavern. On weekdays, Huang Zhang would go fishing near the pond to pass his leisure time.
In a tavern, in a private room.
Huang Zhang and Xu Cong also met for the first time.
Huang Zhang is not tall and looks relatively thin, but from his piercing eyes, Xu Cong feels that he cannot underestimate the other person based on his appearance.
Xu Cong looked at Huang Zhang, and Huang Zhang naturally looked at Xu Cong opposite him.
For this young man who has already achieved such achievements in the Internet industry at a young age, Huang Zhangke does not dare to look down on him at all.
The two of them exchanged some polite greetings, then sat down in the private rooms respectively, as the wine and food continued to arrive.
As they exchanged cups and cups, the two gradually began to get acquainted with each other and started chatting.
The two of them were talking about nothing more than the current development of the electronics industry. As the chat continued to deepen, Huang Zhang gradually changed the topic to more specific topics.
"I heard that Brother Xu opened a screen panel manufacturer..."
Huang Zhang squinted his eyes, holding a wine glass in his hand, and inadvertently brought the topic to Feiteng Microelectronics.
Xu Cong drank a few glasses of wine, and his face turned slightly red. However, Xu Cong remained awake at this time, watching the other party gradually turn the topic to Feiteng Microelectronics.
Chapter completed!
