Chapter 408: The mud cannot hold up the wall. Zhulong Chip is once again trapped in the whirlpool of public opinion. Is Germination about to overturn?(1/3)

Next week.

Due to the release of the official rectification notice, the Internet industry finally calmed down for a while, without any major problems.

Everyone is busy making rectifications.

Even those like Ahri who choose to die must still show off when faced with the official rectification list, and add a list of personal information collection in the settings of apps such as Mobao and Zhifubao.

To know.

After the rectification opinions were released, the stock price of Ali, which had just been listed, stopped rising the next day.

Just ask Ah Li if he is afraid?

………

Although there is nothing to rectify in the Germination Group, it has also encountered another bad thing.

"Chairman, after Xiaomi, OV also made a similar request, hoping that the Yidong version will use the Zhulong Z1 chip, and other versions, including the overseas version, will all use Gaotong Snapdragon chips."

Gu Mingzhang came to report.

Zhang Shuo relaxed his words to Rebus last time, and OV, who got the news, naturally followed suit.

It is not difficult to judge from ov's appeal that from the beginning, ov, like Xiaomi, was prepared with both hands. In essence, it still distrusted the Zhulong chip.

The exit of Mei Yao may have been a domino that was toppled.

"How are you going to deal with it?" Zhang Shuo asked.

"What I mean is, you must not get used to it."

Gu Mingzhang's attitude was tough, "Either we simply take back Xiaomi and ov's equity in Zhulong Technology and complete the split. Or we can revise the articles of association of Zhulong Technology and cancel all the preferential treatment that Xiaomi and ov enjoy in Zhulong Technology, including but not

Limited to internal price delivery, early design cooperation, etc.”

As a shareholder of Zhulong Technology, Xiaomi and ov have actually enjoyed a lot of conveniences.

Taking the Zhulong z1 chip as an example, it is actually subdivided into several versions, which are supplied to cooperative manufacturers such as Maili, Xiaomi, and ov, similar to customized versions.

After all, different models of mobile phones have different requirements for baseband chips and processor chips.

Xiaomi, OV adopts this different version of the configuration, which obviously means betting on both sides. It wants to please Gaotong, but is unwilling to give up the potential target of Zhulong Technology.

What if the Zhulong chip is actually made?

Just like what Zhang Shuo said to Rebus before, once the Zhulong Z series chips are produced, the cost of subsequent models can be gradually controlled, which will be beneficial in the long run.

And Gu Mingzhang's attitude is also very clear, that is, he wants to cut off Xiaomi, ov's delusions.

How can there be any reason to occupy both ends?

"If Xiaomi and ov's shares in Zhulong Technology are withdrawn, will it affect our bargaining chip against Tai Electromechanical?" Zhang Shuo is mainly worried about this.

"I don't think so."

Gu Mingzhang is very confident, "The total global sales of Maili x1 have reached 49.85 million units, and it is expected to exceed 50 million units before the first anniversary of its launch, far exceeding previous expectations."

Such outstanding results are not only due to the excellent quality of Mai Li x1 itself, but also due to the development of overseas markets.

"The MaiLi x2 will be released in September. As expected, the sales volume will definitely reach a new level. It is conservatively estimated that the global sales of MaiLi x2 will be around 70 million units."

This is not a random prediction by Gu Mingzhang, but is based on facts.

After more than half a year of development, MaiLi mobile phones have completely opened up in the Southeast Asian market, and MaiLi x2 is also planned to be launched in Southeast Asia at the same time, which shows that it attaches great importance to the Southeast Asian market.

In Greater China, in addition to the decline of the Korean market, other markets such as Japan are also performing very well.

Then there is the Europa market. After the preliminary testing of MaiLi

Just waiting for the release of Maili x2, as a pioneer, to completely attack the European market.

It is precisely based on the development of overseas markets and the growth potential of China's local market, with the support of dual positive factors, that Maili x2 dared to set a global sales target of 70 million units.

That is to say.

The Maili Group's own mobile phone sales alone can be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Tai Electromechanical.

Take Xiaomi as an example. Before Xiaomi 3 was released, the combined sales of all Xiaomi mobile phone models could only reach 9 million units.

It's not at the same level as Maili mobile phones.

ov and Warwick are actually the same. To a certain extent, because they launched their efforts later, the sales volume of ov and Warwick mobile phones cannot even compare with Xiaomi.

Domestic mobile phones in 2013 can only be regarded as emerging, and the real explosion will have to wait until 14 or 15 years.

"In this case, let's make a clean break and take back Xiaomi and ov's equity in Zhulong Technology." Zhang Shuo finally made up his mind.

Xiaomi, ov, etc. were unkind, so don't blame Mo Ya for being unjust.

"good!"

Gu Mingzhang was very excited.

Once Xiaomi and ov withdraw from Zhulong Technology, the R&D team of Zhulong Technology can wholeheartedly connect with Maili Group and concentrate on serving Maili mobile phones.

This is definitely a major benefit.

………

Gu Mingzhang was happy, but Rebus was unhappy. After receiving the "equity acquisition" offer from Daosui Group, he immediately called Zhang Shuo.

"Mr. Zhang, I didn't agree with Xiaomi's configuration before in the capital. Why did you change your mind again?"

It's quite a bit like calling the enemy to task.

"It's not that I changed my mind, but after Xiaomi put forward two configuration requirements, OV also followed suit and made similar requirements, which made Zhulong Technology very passive. I was also very embarrassed."

Zhang Shuo can also pretend to be pitiful.

"Uh, this..."

Rebus on the opposite side was a little dumbfounded, "But isn't this too unauthentic?"

"not at all."

Zhang Shuo shook his head and said sincerely: "Until now, I still respect Xiaomi's choice. Either choose to fulfill the contract or choose to quit. This is fair, right?"

"I....."

Rebus didn't know what to say at all. He smiled bitterly and said, "Then Xiaomi can only choose to quit."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gaotong.

It is still an existence that Xiaomi cannot refuse.

"Really? Then of course I respect Xiaomi's choice." Zhang Shuo also remained calm.

"Hey, this happened."

Rebus felt a little sad, "I hope this unhappiness will not affect the relationship between our two families."

If possible, Rebus certainly doesn't want to stalemate his relationship with Moya, especially his personal relationship with Zhang Shuo, which would be a huge loss.

"Of course."

Zhang Shuo is not so petty. Business is business, and friends are friends.

There is no conflict.

"If you have plans next time, Moya can also cooperate with Xiaomi."

Of course, Zhang Shuo is no longer the paranoid boy he was back then, and he knows how to keep a tightrope in everything.

Who knows.

Will Xiaomi be useful one day in the future?

"must!"

Rebus then hung up the phone, but he was still a little uneasy and he let out a long sigh.

"This time, I don't know if the bet is right or not."

Rationally speaking, choosing Gaotong was certainly better than choosing Zhulong; but when he thought about Germination's past glorious achievements and Zhang Shuo's miraculous hands, Rebus suddenly felt uncertain.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t be prepared.

Fortunately now, Mei Ya is not used to it at all and directly blocks Xiaomi's double choice.

"I hope that's right!"

………

Three days later, Daosui Group signed equity transfer agreements with Xiaomi and ov in a low-key manner, taking back the shares of Zhulong Technology held by Xiaomi and ov at the "original price" of 2.5 billion.

Daosui Group regained control of Zhulong Technology, and its shareholding ratio increased to 90%.

Xiaomi, ov has suffered a lot.

They took the 1.25 billion originally invested in Zhulong Technology and exited the market "in a clean slate." Not only did they get no benefits, but they also allowed Zhulong Technology to use the funds for more than eight months.

Tens of millions were lost in interest alone.

This does not include the time and energy put in by Xiaomi and ov's respective R&D teams to adapt to the Zhulong Z1 chip, but now they have all been wasted.
