Chapter 82 Seeking cooperation
Most communication equipment companies have given up their plans to devote themselves to new product development after dismantling their new products.
This brand-new mobile phone product is fundamentally different from the current mainstream products.
From the perspective of the integration of components on the motherboard, it is still difficult to learn from the HPone motherboard to fully integrate these components on the entire motherboard.
At the same time, the cost of the internal components and other accessories of this product is not cheap.
Even many core components, companies simply do not have the ability to obtain them.
One of the most critical components is the SOC of this product.
This SOC processor chip is a self-developed processor. This processor chip is fundamentally different from most processor chips in current feature phones.
Integrating multiple modules such as CPU and GPU, this processor chip can be compatible with various components in mobile phones.
At the same time, the design and process frequency of this chip are also destined to make the performance of this processor chip far higher than that of other chips of the same functional machine product.
Only with such a high level of performance computing can the system equipped with this product run smoothly.
Generally speaking, the current major manufacturers are completely unable to swallow this attractive project.
First, the cost of manufacturing equivalent products is too high.
Second, even if these manufacturers want to imitate the production of products, they cannot completely obtain these top-notch components to assemble a product.
The third factor is the consumption level of the domestic market, which has caused such products to be in an embarrassing situation of being well received but not popular after entering the offline market.
Therefore, although many communication equipment manufacturers have set up special research and development groups for new products, they do not put all their energy into this group.
In the eyes of this group of communication equipment companies, functional phones will still be the mainstream of the market in the future, and although Hpone is an excellent product, it does not meet the current domestic market.
Xu Cong was not surprised when Rebus arrived at Hongjun Technology Company in person.
Although Rebus is a big boss in the Internet industry, he has a natural sensitivity and interest in the field of electronic products.
At the same time, Rebus is also a person who likes challenges.
Now Rebus's achievements have exceeded that of many people, he has truly achieved financial freedom, and he owns many industries investing in the Internet.
Rebus was naturally attracted by the new product Hpone.
"Brother Xu, I have only one purpose for coming here this time. I will make it clear to you directly. I plan to invest 2 billion in Hongjun Technology Company!"
Rebus was sitting in the reception room, hesitating for a moment, and finally stated the purpose of his trip with a serious face.
Xu Cong was not surprised at Rebus's request. In order to get in touch with the smartphone industry, Rebus spent more than half a year with Huang Zhang of the Mei clan and learned some new things.
something.
Even in the end, in order to truly join this new industry, Rebus expressed to Huang Zhang that he was willing to invest money to join the Rose Clan.
It's a pity that the Mei tribe didn't have any interest in investment at that time. In addition, Huang Zhang had his own pride and self-confidence, so he directly rejected Rebus' investment.
This also forced Derebus and Huang Zhang to part ways and go directly north to establish a new Internet company in the imperial capital.
After leaving, Rebus used what he learned from the Rose tribe and combined with his many years of experience in the Internet, and finally established a new company and created a new path for Internet electronic technology.
Although history has advanced, what Rebus wants to do has not changed, but this time the target is Hongjun, which is launching a new product for the first time in China.
And this time Rebus directly spent 2 billion to invest in Hongjun Technology.
Although the current new products have caused a sensation in the market, the overall sales volume is not particularly ideal, and Rebus also has channels to get the news.
I understand that Hongjun Technology is now in a dilemma, and at this time, there is a high possibility of successful investment.
"Brother Lei, to be honest, I can't promise you this investment..."
After careful consideration, Xu Cong finally gave the other party's answer.
Now Rebus has basically laid a lot of foreshadowing in the Internet industry, and many domestic Internet companies have the shadow of Rebus.
Although Wanxiang Technology is now very popular in the Internet industry, the Internet industry is not just about communications and online games.
Rebus is best known as the chairman and largest shareholder of Jingshan.
But Rebus's most important identity is that of the most well-known angel investor in the Internet industry.
The companies and projects it has invested in have basically reached hundreds, and most of the investors or companies are Internet technology companies.
This means that Rebus has sufficient channels and connections throughout the Internet and technology circles.
At the same time, Rebus also has sufficient funds and resources.
It is a pity that Xu Cong does not intend to accept Rebus into Hongjun Technology.
Xu Cong has always planned to build his Hongjun Technology into a top company similar to Guozi, focusing on top technology and high-end routes.
This requires a very powerful person at the helm to lead. If Rebus joins the company as an investor and shareholder, it is very likely that there will be two different voices within the company, which will ultimately affect the company's development.
After all, Rebus' status and reputation in the entire Internet technology field are no less than that of Xu Cong now. At the same time, the other party's means and personality charm also make Xu Cong have to consider it for his own company.
Of course Xu Cong also has his own ideas!
After Rebus said this, the expression on his face was slightly startled, but he quickly returned to his chatting and laughing posture.
After all, Xu Cong has been rejected not once or twice, but this is already the third time.
Although the relationship between Rebus and Xu Cong is considered close, Rebus can clearly feel that the other party still has some resistance to him.
But what Xu Cong said next made Rebus feel like there was a bright future in the dark!
"How about the two of us cooperate to establish a new Internet technology company, focusing on the Internet model based on communication equipment!"
Xu Cong put forward his suggestions to Rebus in front of him with a calm expression.
Focusing on the Internet model based on communication equipment!
Rebus immediately became interested after hearing this. After all, the main reason why Rebus is optimistic about Hongjun Technology Company is that he is optimistic about communication equipment and the possibility of future mobile Internet development.
"But, Brother Xu, don't you already have a communications equipment company? Isn't this unnecessary!?"
He was excited, but Rebus still had some doubts in his heart. After all, Xu Cong now has a communications company in his hands, and now he is cooperating with himself to establish another company.
Will there be a situation in the future where I beat myself up?
"Hongjun! The main product is pioneering technology products. Brother Lei, you should be able to tell from the pricing of our company's products that the route our company leads is a high-end route!"
"But the high-end route is not particularly easy to follow, especially in the current Chinese market. The current communication equipment products in the Chinese market are still focused on the mid-to-low-end market!"
Xu Cong slowly told Rebus in a calm tone.
After Rebus heard Xu Cong's story, Rebus, as a smart man, understood what Xu Cong meant.
"What you mean is that if we cooperate, the company's future goal will be the mid-to-low-end market, while Hongjun Technology will go to the high-end market!"
Although Rebus accepted it quickly, Rebus also felt a little uncomfortable after the words came out of his mouth.
After all, high-end plays a very important role in the development of a brand and its image.
The new company established through cooperation is obviously a cheap version of Hongjun Technology, or a speedy version.
This feeling of being a substitute or living under someone else's roof is indeed a bit uncomfortable.
"Brother Lei, you have misunderstood. We are popularizing top-notch technological products to the public. Even the purpose of establishing this company is very simple, so that everyone can enjoy the fun brought by technology!
”
Looking at Rebus who was deep in thought in front of him, Xu Cong also used the method of attacking the son's shield with his spear to persuade him.
"Let everyone enjoy the fun brought by technology!"
Rebus murmured a few words, and his originally silent face finally showed an excited smile.
To be honest, these words made Rebus gradually accept Xu Cong's proposal.
Rebus even felt that this cooperation to establish such a company was a very meaningful venture for him.
"To be honest, I have also dismantled your company's smartphone, and through the channels of some engineer friends, I learned that the production and R&D cost of this product is a very high number!"
"If you sell products at mid-to-low-end prices, I'm afraid you won't even be able to recover the cost!"
"Even if you sell it at this price, it will be even more difficult to sell the products produced by your company!"
Rebus is now full of expectations for this cooperation, but Rebus' rationality makes him have some worries.
Through the dismantling of the product by engineers, Rebus also knew that the cost of this product is probably about three times the cost of most current mobile phones, and the cost of this product with a peculiar smell is already close to 3,000.
