August 17th, Friday, the first day of the seventh lunar month, is the best time to plant.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Wen Liang got into the Maybach downstairs of IFC, and Li Ze and others got into their own cars to officially visit China Unicom.
According to yesterday's negotiation, Wen Liang and Liu Chiping led the team to China Unicom first and then to China Mobile.
For Bolang, it’s a matter of looking far away at the expense of the near.
Because China Mobile's Guangdong headquarters is only more than 200 meters away from IFC, it only takes less than five minutes to walk there.
Several cars started from the downstairs of IFC, first passed the mobile headquarters building, and then headed east on Huangpu Avenue to the China Unicom headquarters building.
This time Bolang's men and horses arrived before White Goose's men.
After waiting for about five minutes, Liu Chiping arrived with his team.
"Mr. Wen."
"Mr. Liu."
"..."
Wen Liang and Liu Chiping greeted each other and were quickly welcomed in by several people from China Unicom.
They walked into a conference room while chatting and laughing all the way.
On China Unicom's side, the boss from Guangdong came forward to contact us.
After another indispensable greeting, they chatted harmoniously for about half an hour. Wen Liang and the others took their leave.
This is the preliminary consultation meeting.
Specific matters will be discussed in detail later.
At half past ten, Wen Liang and Liu Chiping led the team to Mobile.
The same process was repeated again.
The preliminary consultation ended in about half an hour, and the same was followed by detailed discussions on specific matters.
In more than two hours, everything was done.
Moving downstairs, Wen Liang looked sideways at Liu Chiping, smiled and invited: "Mr. Liu, please come and sit in the company office."
"Then I won't bother Mr. Wen." Liu Chiping readily agreed.
Later, Liu Chiping simply got into Wen Liang's car.
As soon as he got in the car, Liu Chiping started teasing: "So this is the experience of riding a Maybach, not bad."
Hearing this, Wen Liang said seriously: "Lishu, please make a note and order a car of the same model as a gift to Mr. Liu."
Liu Chiping: "..."
You are quite beautiful!
It’s my fault that I got carried away and forgot about this. My thinking is much more out-of-the-box than sometimes!
Seeing that Liu Chiping remained silent, Wen Liang made a gesture and said in a gentle tone: "Mr. Liu, don't pay attention to this little thing, it doesn't matter."
"I don't care." Liu Chiping looked at Wen Liang and said helplessly, "I'm afraid that if I take it today, I'll have to pay it back a hundred times tomorrow."
Wen Liang frowned slightly and said with a slightly disappointed look, "Okay then."
There was a hint of "So this is who I am in everyone's eyes" in and out of his words, and Liu Chiping almost softened his heart and agreed.
Then Liu Chiping quickly changed the topic, chatting about all over the world, thinking about getting there as soon as possible!
I sighed over and over again in my heart.
'Young people should really go to college and start a business. It will be too difficult to deal with once you succeed!'
'That's right. Even God will forgive him when he is in his early twenties!'
"Wen Liang is so good at riding a horse that he can abandon Bilian at any time. He is very single!"
Liu Chiping knew very well that if Wen Liang was just relying on his early twenties to act unscrupulously, he would have been suppressed long ago.
After all, ‘even God will forgive him’, in other words, the matter of forgiveness is left directly to God.
The key point is that Wen Liang is good at exchanging interests, and can easily promote consensus on interests, and even punches and kicks to create a world.
For example, in this cooperation with the operator, even White Goose initially ran for Bo Lang. As a result, Wen Liang worked hard behind the scenes to quickly reach a pilot cooperation framework, but still brought White Goose along. This is a consensus of interests.
With these foundations, Wen Liang's "unbridled" and "jumping" in his words will largely allow him to gain better initiative.
Liu Chiping had to admit frankly that it was a fact.
Wen Liang is really plotting something against White Goose, and he has been plotting it since before his first meeting with Mapelly and Liu Chiping.
For example...WeChat.
…………
It was more than 200 meters away, with only one traffic light in the middle, and we arrived at the IFC downstairs in less than two minutes.
Wen Liang politely invited Liu Chiping into the IFC Building, and then into Bolang's general manager's office on the 65th floor.
Without letting Wan An interfere, Wen Liang made a pot of good tea with his own hands.
After taking a few sips, Liu Chiping raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment: "No wonder Mr. Wen is not satisfied with the tea outside."
The tone of voice was even higher.
Wen Liang followed the words and said with a smile on his face: "I have already prepared it for you."
"Thank you." Liu Chiping refused to shirk.
Drinking tea and chatting for a while.
Liu Chiping took the initiative to bring up the business and said straight to the point: "The ten cities we are interested in are the Pearl River Delta and the four coastal cities in Fujian. What do you mean?"
Wen Liang replied: "We think the same way."
There are only so many places to choose from in the two provinces of Guangzhou and Fuzhou. This is also because both China Mobile and China Unicom have given 10 city indicators.
There are six cities in the Pearl River Delta: Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhong, Zhuhai, Foshan and Wanzhou.
There are four coastal cities in Fujian: Fu, Quan, Xiamen and Zhang.
These ten cities basically include the most economically developed areas in the two provinces. With the exception of Zhuhai, these cities are the top ones in each province's GDP ranking.
The infrastructure of these cities is also more complete.
Mobile networks must be supported by infrastructure. Without base stations, no matter how many base stations are used, it will be useless...
There is basically a consensus on this aspect, and there is nothing to say. Liu Chiping then mentioned: "When we were in Beijing, Mr. Zhang mentioned a new plan to promote the laying of free WiFi in public places. It is more economical for us to study this plan internally."
Benefits, Mr. Zhang said it was Mr. Wen’s idea.”
Wen Liang had already expected this and said calmly: "In the domestic environment, everyone prefers free things. Your company should have a deep understanding of this. In addition, compared to using mobile networks, WiFi can reduce people's anxiety."
"Now all traffic packages have a total amount, and all we can promote is targeted traffic fee reductions. At this stage, it is actually not as comfortable as covering free WiFi."
"But this matter, if it cannot be promoted to the upper level, not only will the upfront cost be very high, but the coverage will be extremely limited."
After saying this, Wen Liang changed the topic: "My idea is that we promote it in Yangcheng and you promote it in Pengcheng. We should also do a pilot first. Of course, I personally would like to call it a demonstration."
Liu Chiping responded simply: "We have no objection."
After a pause, Liu Chiping said with a smile: "We will promote the establishment of a free and secure WiFi alliance, and we will bear all risks."
Wen Liang nodded tacitly.
Liu Chiping's meaning is very clear. The leaders of the alliance are White Goose + Bolang. White Goose bears all the risks and Bolang enjoys the gains.
This is some kind of compensation from White Goose.
White Goose's investment in Bolang Xiaocheng has so far failed to bring the resources needed to Bolang Xiaocheng, and it is also regrettable in business.
In fact, in his previous life, Wen Liang came into contact with the draft opinions related to free WiFi at work, which was something promoted by the higher-ups in Guangdong.
However, according to the current development, it will take two to three years.
However, based on what he learned about the relevant information in Beijing, Wen Liang speculated that if nothing unexpected happened, everything would be the same as in the previous life, and the arrival of the 4G era would not be widely felt until at least mid-2015.
It's been exactly three years since now.
Bolang has developed to a certain scale, and Wen Liang naturally will not wait. Even because of the penetration rate of infrastructure, he directly left the short video business, which is most convenient for Xiao Cheng Shu, to develop overseas.
In short, if you want to get rich returns, you need to pay a price.
After a simple exchange of opinions, Wen Liang and Liu Chiping also reached a consensus on new interests.
Greater efforts will be made to promote the development of both parties in the mobile market.
…
After that, Wen Liang also took the initiative to mention something: "Yesterday, Mr. Lei released his second-generation smartphone. What does Mr. Liu think of it?"
Liu Chiping considered it and said: "Mr. Lei has ushered in the era of domestic intelligence. It is foreseeable that domestic manufacturers will vigorously take the lead in the future."
Wen Liang said bluntly: "What do you think of White Goose?"
"We have no idea." Liu Chiping sounded very frank, "I heard that you are doing research on mobile devices?"
Wen Liang did not deny it: "We have conducted some basic research, but the investment is not large and the prospects are unclear. Let's take it step by step."
He added: "In the future, we can try to make a prefabricated mobile phone."
Upon hearing this, Liu Chiping couldn't help but laugh: "Mr. Lei will beat people after hearing this."
Wen Liang also laughed: "How come, all mobile phone manufacturers in the world have this model. An industry chain as big as Samsung also has to rely on the supply chain."
Liu Chiping just said: "Mr. Wen knows what I mean."
"It's hard to say." Wen Liang said vaguely, "Bo Lang is so young. If there is an opportunity right in front of him, if it doesn't take much effort to give it a try, he can't just let the money go without making money."
Liu Chiping didn't deny it, he was a little envious in his words: "Sometimes I really envy Mr. Wen."
Wen Liang laughed and said nothing.
I took the initiative to mention Lei Jun because Bolang’s investment in mobile devices is no secret to some people.
After all, the higher-ups in Yangcheng have recognized that Bolang has invested a lot in the field of basic research.
It's just that no one, including Liu Chiping, is sure how much attention Wen Liang attaches to him.
Because the research projects have so far been placed in Huagong, it seems that they are far away from commercialization.
Speaking of which, after Xiao Gaoliang's press conference ended yesterday afternoon, Wen Liang politely called Boss Lei to express his congratulations and blessings.
This generation of Mi2 is the youth of many people.
However, it can only be called a PPT phone and will not be officially sold until October.
At the press conference, Lei Jun once again deepened the road to cost-effectiveness and popularized the main parameters of the mobile phone from all angles, ranging from the screen and processor to the camera.
During this period, Boss Lei likes to compare parameters with friends, either Apple or Samsung or HTC.
In fact, Qualcomm's reputation is not well-known nowadays. It has not yet designated the Chinese name of mobile chips as Snapdragon, nor has it formed a clear product series.
None of the mainstream flagship phones that Boss Lei pulled out for comparison used Qualcomm processing chips.
Samsung develops its own chips, Apple develops its own chips, and HTC uses Nvidia chips.
Other manufacturers...Boss Lei is not willing to compare them.
According to some Internet rumors from later generations, Qualcomm's mobile chips during this period were not well-known in the world. They were considered "low-end products" and were forcibly promoted by Boss Lei.
There is some truth to this rumor. After all, Xiaogaoliang has been using Qualcomm chips since Mi1.
But right now, Boss Lei doesn’t actually promote Qualcomm too much. After all, it’s not well-known and doesn’t have much support.
On the contrary, Qualcomm's domestic popularity is indeed related to Mr. Lei. It can even be said that because Mr. Lei popularized various parameters at the press conference, consumers began to pay attention to various parameters of mobile phones.
In Wen Liang's eyes, these are all opportunities for Bo Lang.
Nowadays, China is actually very, very conducive to the development of self-developed chips for mobile phones, because the current mobile chip market is like a blue ocean. All major manufacturers have invested, but the movement is not very good. It is a chaotic period.
What’s more critical is that after entering the era of smartphones, mobile phones have become the device that consumers perceive the most!
Many times, Chinese people only look at the mobile phone when evaluating a company's technological content.
Even the official media only focuses on this aspect.①
Bolang owns the largest comprehensive Chinese social media platform Xiaocheng Shu. In Wen Liang’s view, the current mobile phone market is not only an opportunity but also an opportunity! -
①: Among the top ten nationally important brands in the official media this year, the evaluation words for Juchang are Hongmeng and Kirin. However, these two items are not ranked high within Juchang, especially the former is so controversial...
