Like the history of the Internet, the development of China's mobile phone industry has also been rapid. Some very famous brands at that time have either declined or disappeared completely.
HTC is one of them.
The founder is Wang Xuehong, and her father is Wang Yongqing. He was once the richest man in Taiwan and was in charge of the Formosa Plastics Group. In 1988, Wang Xuehong founded an electronics company, mainly engaged in integrated circuit design and PDA foundry.
In 1997, he founded HTC, which was initially a mobile phone OEM and later its own brand.
The early products were not successful, but the HTC Touch launched last year and the Diamond launched at the beginning of this year were both well received. So why was Wang Xuehong able to cooperate with Google and get the project of "the world's first Android phone"?
This is a certain subtle relationship between Taiwanese companies and the United States.
In short, HTC began to take off after 2008. At its peak, it sold more than 43 million units a year, ranking fourth in the world, ranking first among Android manufacturers, and even surpassing Apple and BlackBerry in sales in the US market.
How can this be done!
As expected, it was no surprise that it began to be beaten. Manufacturers led by Apple and Samsung first filed patent lawsuits, won the lawsuit, and then banned the sale of HTC locally, and then took the opportunity to seize market share.
HTC's own technology was lacking and it was losing ground. At this time, the mobile phone industry in mainland China was also developing rapidly. HTC's survival space was narrow and it eventually declined. It sold part of its business to Google and transitioned to VR.
Yao Yuan has never used HTC in his previous life. It is said that programmers like this brand very much.
Cheng Wei reported the news. He expressed his understanding and continued to work on the wedding. What else could he do? The wedding was imminent and he could only wait until it was over.
…………
The day to find someone to do the accounting was set on October 4th.
Starting from the 2nd, guests have been arriving one after another, and we are busy entertaining them, arranging hotels and so on.
I don’t know about other places. According to the custom of Yao Yuan’s hometown, it is usually to pick up the bride in the early morning of the day. Uncles and uncles can go, but uncles and aunts cannot go. The aunt has to go, and she has to get a green onion. I don’t know what the details are, but she has to get it anyway.
Onion root.
Then there were a few brothers, sisters and good friends of the same generation. Yao Yuan chose Han Tao, Wu Jun and others, and his relatives were naturally Yao Xiaobo. Alas, Yao Xiaobo finally put him to his greatest use.
On the 3rd, 99 Group gave each of its employees a benefit, not much, a wedding candy and a small bonus, even the couriers in the mall.
At the same time, it was announced that on the 4th, except for essential positions, all employees would have a day off.
This news made everyone excited. From Beijing to Zhuhai, everyone was chanting Boss Yao's name - they may have forgotten that National Day is a holiday in the first place.
The media circle also heard some rumors, and many people tried their best to sneak in and take photos secretly, but Yao Yuan was strictly guarded and did not want to be exposed to the outside world.
Night of the 3rd, Palm Springs.
On the first day of marriage, different places seem to have different opinions on whether the new house can be occupied by people. Some say it is not allowed, while others say it is necessary because it is unlucky to have an empty house.
Yao Yuan didn't care. He just wanted to clean the room and didn't want to mess it up, so he ran downstairs to join his parents.
At this moment, Yuan Liping took out his suit again, inspected it countless times, and dusted it off. Yao Yuemin sat on the sofa, holding the speech script in his hand, familiarizing himself with the lines over and over again.
Yao Yuan was the most relaxed and said: "Mom, that suit is fine!"
"Why is everything okay? Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of what may happen. I saw it and I felt comfortable."
Yuan Liping seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder. Yao Yuan ignored her, walked to his father and said with a smile: "You don't need to memorize it. You can just read the manuscript when the time comes."
"That's so out of style. Your dad is a showman."
Yao Yuemin put down the manuscript and was filled with emotion for a moment. He sighed: "I think I was enlightened at the age of three, read poetry at the age of five, picked up dung at the age of seven, grassed, fed pigs, climbed trees and touched birds at the age of ten. I have always wanted to swim.
In the palace of literature, unfortunately, I had bad luck and could only be a teacher.
After I got you, I honestly expected my son to succeed. I am proud of you for having such a big career, but my biggest hope for you has always been to be healthy and happy. It will not change now, and it will not change in the future.
Change."
"..."
Yao Yuan was very touched by what he said, and Yuan Liping also answered: "No matter how hard you worked in the past, I treated you as my child. But getting married is different. If you have a wife, you will also have children in the future. I will always treat you as my child."
When I think about it, I always feel a bit, ugh..."
Yuan Liping became emotional and her eye circles were red. She wiped it and said with a smile: "Don't talk about this, this is a great day. Let's check again to see if there is anything missing."
"Okay, check, check!"
Yao Yuan didn't want to mention this. He understood his parents' feelings, but after all, he shouldn't make it too sad.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, he went out, drove the earliest electric donkey, and ran for 2 kilometers to the Jinhuyuan Apartment near the newspaper building.
He has feelings for this place. Where his dream began, he bought about 20 houses in Jinhu Garden, which are now the employee dormitories of 99 Entertainment.
But tonight, it will serve as a temporary residence for relatives and friends.
…………
In one of the rooms, several young people were playing poker, shouting enthusiastically, and there were a lot of barbecue and beer on the coffee table.
This is tomorrow's photography team. The main photographer is Xiao Yang, who is chatting with Xiao Mo with a can of beer.
"Brother Mo, what kind of car is Mr. Yao's wedding car? Tell us and let us see it."
Even though Xiao Mo has no name, in fact, his status as boss and driver makes him look down upon everywhere. He smiled and said: "It's not a good car, the Bentley is elegant."
"I'm really not familiar with Bentley. Why don't you get a Rolls-Royce or a Ferrari?"
"It's too high-profile. The Bentley is as black as a stone, which suits Mr. Yao's liking. The fleet behind is also a smooth Mercedes-Benz, without those fancy sports cars."
Xiao Mo took a sip of wine and began to break the news: "Mr. Yao ordered this car long ago for his wedding, and the people driving the car are all friends. Mr. Yao's friends are all entrepreneurs in the new era. They are highly educated, highly educated, and high-tech. They are not
The nouveau riche in the 1990s usually did not play sports cars. Moreover, Sister Zhang had many customers from the army, so it was not easy to make public."
"Oh, that's what happened!"
Xiao Yang felt like he was hearing a secret, and asked: "Hey, will there be any celebrities there then? Zhang Yimou, Gao Yuanyuan, Liu Yifei, etc."
"star?"
Xiao Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "It's just a show. After the show, just find a table and have a bite. They are not qualified."
"Hey, then Brother Mo must be qualified?"
"Of course, Mr. Yao specially arranged a seat for me, but I have to be in charge of security that day, so I must be extremely busy."
Oops!
Xiao Mo took a sip of cold beer, flicked a handful of skewers, and looked at the other person's shocked eyes. He felt comfortable from the inside out. I never thought that one day I, Xiao Mo, would be able to show off!
