What a smart person Du Weiguo immediately realized what Li Rui meant.

He quickly stated: Boss, Qiangong, our sales department serves the production department, and everything is followed by Qiangong's command. Qiangong's direct instructions if there is anything that I have to do, if I have something bad, I will scold you if I should, and beat you if I should. Don't be polite!

Qian Weichen usually comes into contact with gentle engineers and fake foreigners. Du Weiguo has few contacts with rash people. Hearing the words, he said: Let's discuss what's wrong.

Li Rui was very satisfied with Du Weiguo's attitude. He was worthy of being a master of Sanzhu. His ability to observe his expressions and expressions is awesome.

Xingrui Mobile is currently mainly engaged in R&D. Qian Weichen is the real core. All other departments work around the R&D department. It would be great if Du Weiguo could have this understanding.

Li Rui said again: Lao Du, I have a few tasks to hand over to you.

Du Weiguo took out a notebook from his briefcase and prepared to take notes.

How many people do you take to collect information on various mobile phone accessories as much as possible according to the information provided by Qiangong, such as prices, functional parameters, supply volume, energy consumption, etc. The more complete the better. Also, contact several factories that Foxconn and I mentioned to ask about the information on large-scale OEMs.

Don’t rush to contact the OEM factory, right? Qian Weichen was shocked.

If you don’t even have a shadow on your phone, just contact the OEM factory. It’s like the child has already prepared the wedding room before he was born. Isn’t it a bit too anxious?

Li Rui smiled and said: Prepare for the future.

Li Rui remembered that when Xiao Mi first released it, she was out of stock due to insufficient production capacity, which made users complain and even thought that Xiao Mi was playing with everyone's feelings.

The Hammer Mobile Phone, which Qian Weichen worked in his previous life, was caused by supply chain problems, and it failed step by step.

This is all the lessons from the past. Li Rui didn't want to be cheated by the supply chain and OEM after everything was ready.

Seeing Li Rui insisting, Qian Weichen didn't say anything more. He was already accustomed to Li Rui's forward vision, otherwise he would not have proposed so many mobile phone design concepts that transcend the current era.

Several people continued to chat and made an in-depth discussion on some subsequent operations details.

Qian Weichen's cell phone vibrated, and he picked it up and smiled: Li Rui, you may have to introduce you to a new colleague.

Oh? Li Rui's eyes lit up, who?

Qian Weichen pointed on his list: Wen Hongjun, the hardware engineer candidate in my mind, was the first to stay in Moji for a few years, so I was my student. I switched jobs to Tianyu the year before yesterday.

Tianyu? Li Rui was stunned.

The famous king of copycats?

The so-called counterfeit mobile phones are unlicensed mobile phones created by some small mobile phone manufacturers by imitating the appearance or functions of mainstream mobile phone brand products.

The counterfeit mobile phones do not have an Internet access license, no R&D expenses, no brands, no advertisements, and rely on the policy of surrounding cities in the countryside, and are growing in full swing in third- and fourth-tier cities and rural towns.

These mobile phones generally use the MTK chip of Baodao MediaTek, mainly feature phones, and you can rarely see smart phones. The models are simple but very powerful.

If you see a mobile phone on the street with huge icons, dual-stop, thick battery, super large external sound, standard handwriting input, plus a lens that is nominally tens of megapixels but is very blurred, then 100% of this mobile phone is a copycat phone.

The counterfeit phone is not only powerful, but also very cheap. If you buy a luxury phone with hundreds of functions for 500 yuan, it can be called a luxury version if you spend more than 1,000 yuan.

Tianyu is the best among counterfeit mobile phones. When other manufacturers are still making money by cheating, they have embarked on the path of scale, branding and differentiation. They have gradually stood out among a group of counterfeit mobile phones, become the industry's biggest player, and even got rid of their identity as counterfeits and founded their own brand.

In the past few years, Tianyu developed rapidly and has poached many talents from major manufacturers such as Nojimoji, and Wen Hongjun is one of them.

However, in the past 10 years, with the continuous development of smart phones, the feature phone market has suffered a huge blow, and Tianyu has also been struggling.

Wen Hongjun is a hardware engineer and has close contact with many hardware manufacturers. He is very familiar with hardware technology and market conditions. Qian Weichen introduced.

Li Rui was overjoyed. What he lacked now is such talents.

Li Rui went downstairs in person and went to the hotel door with Qian Weichen to pick up Wen Hongjun.

Wen Hongjun is 32 years old this year. After graduating from the age of 25, he worked in Moji for four years and switched to Tianyu for three years.

In Tianyu, he is the deputy chief engineer of the hardware department, responsible for the entire hardware assembly, development and debugging work.

Tianyu's performance has declined in the past two years, and the company is desperately trying to squeeze costs, and Wen Hongjun is under great pressure.

Just then, Qian Weichen threw out an olive branch and drew a very beautiful blueprint, which finally touched him.

With Qian Weichen as his teacher, Wen Hongjun quickly became familiar with everyone. At Li Rui's request, he talked about the hardware situation of the front-line mobile phone industry in detail.

With the explosion of the smartphone market, small manufacturers such as Tianyu are facing huge pressure. First of all, the hardware supply is not enough, and manufacturers are more willing to supply hardware to big brands than small manufacturers like Tianyu. In many cases, only when large manufacturers choose the remaining inferior hardware and low-end hardware, can it be Tianyu's turn.

This is why Tianyu cannot develop high-end and smart phones. If the hardware cannot be obtained, it is useless to have ideas and designs alone.

Qian Weichen couldn't help but look at Li Rui a few more times when he heard this. He was in a big company like Moji, of course he didn't understand the difficulties of the supply chain, and he didn't even know that Tianyu would worry about the lack of hardware supply.

Now that he heard Wen Hongjun's story, he realized that Li Rui was very prescient in planning ahead.

Li Rui was also worried. Xiao Mi and Hammer had experienced this kind of constraints when they started, and I hope his preparations could be avoided.

In his previous life, Li Rui saw interviews with several bigwigs in the mobile phone industry, and almost everyone revealed the same attitude: their path to success is full of crises, and every step is thin and trembling. If any decision is made wrong, he may encounter an endless ending.

Even Lei Jun, who built the entire industrial chain of Xiaomi and transformed it from a thirteen-person small company to a giant with a market value of more than 900 billion yuan, was once criticized by investors when his stock price was sluggish.

How dare Li Rui take it lightly?
