Chapter 314 You dare to say that you don't know martial arts?
The car was driving on the high road back to Yangcheng.
Before leaving Pengcheng, Liu Chiping's call came over to him: "I heard that Mr. Wen is coming to Pengcheng. Can we have a cup of tea in the afternoon before leaving?"
Wen Liang couldn't help laughing: "I know President Liu is so enthusiastic, so I'm already on my way back to Yangcheng."
Liu Chiping was quite surprised: "Oh? Dong Hou didn't even stay for lunch?"
"It's mainly because I'm busy with affairs here." Wen Liang laughed, "The plan can't keep up with the changes, and Bolang has a weak foundation, so he has to worry."
Liu Chiping expressed his understanding with a smile: "Next time, next time Mr. Wen comes to Pengcheng again, we will sweep the couch to welcome you."
"Okay, definitely." Wen Liang responded.
Finally, Liu Chiping smiled and sent his blessing: "I wish Mr. Wen everything goes well."
"..."
After ending the call, Liu Chiping's smile faded and he looked thoughtful.
Then he called his assistant and asked directly: "Who first released the news about Mr. Wen's visit to Pengcheng?"
The assistant quickly replied: "It should be an employee from Weiluo Pengcheng. There may be ZTE employees at the same time. Passers-by posted the news online. The blue-brand Maybach that Mr. Wen is riding in is more conspicuous."
As we all know, opposite the ZTE headquarters is the Pengcheng Weiluo Building.
Liu Chiping asked again: "Is there any other news?"
Assistant 1510 reported the news he received: "I just received a rumor that there was no one to see Mr. Wen and his party off when they left ZTE. The total stay did not exceed thirty minutes, and the schedule was tight."
"It is rumored that Bolang has been actively contacting several mobile phone manufacturers in the province since last week, including established manufacturers such as ZTE and Juchang, as well as emerging manufacturers such as Meizu, in an attempt to form an alliance."
"President Wen and his delegation's visit to ZTE today was arranged as early as Monday."
"The specific negotiations between Bolang and ZTE are unknown..."
After listening to the assistant's report, Liu Chiping waved his hand to signal the assistant to leave, and then frowned and pondered again.
His intuition told him that there was something interesting in this.
But all the information currently known shows that Bolang’s attempt to solve the pressure caused by the declining mobile phone through a combination of horizontal and vertical has almost failed.
ZTE probably looks down on Bolang Terminal.
From Liu Chiping's rational business perspective, there is no problem with such progress.
So far, Bolang Terminal has only optimized its Android-based UI quite well, and the mobile phone has already encountered multiple attacks before it was released.
So far, there are as many as 29 supply chain manufacturers that have made it clear that they will not supply Bolang terminals.
There are as many as 37 other companies that have made it clear that they will not cooperate with Bolang Terminal.
This is only a domestic company.
There are more than a dozen overseas companies that have made it clear that they will treat cooperation with Bolang carefully, not including Google, Qualcomm, and Microsoft, which have ambiguous attitudes.
Google's ambiguity stems from their uncertainty about what the Star System of Bolang Terminal is. If it is a system developed based on AOSP but independent of the Android ecosystem, they have nothing to say.
If you want to take a stand, what should you do with Amazon, which has been reforming AOSP again and again at your doorstep?
Qualcomm has been publicized as having an ambiguous attitude. After all, it is a chip solution manufacturer and does a wide range of things, including baseband and so on.
In fact, Bolang Terminal does cooperate with Qualcomm and purchased some necessary licenses from Qualcomm.
As for Microsoft, they are really joining in the fun, stemming from their accumulation of patents in various aspects. As a world-famous software manufacturer, which accounts for more than 95% of the PC operating system market, Microsoft has a strong presence in all aspects of systems and other aspects.
The accumulation of patents is unimaginable.
However, what is interesting is that Bolang Terminal has not established any special partnership with Microsoft.
Universal protocols and universal frameworks cannot be manipulated.
The most disgusting thing about Microsoft's patents is that it was too early to develop graphical interfaces, so it has many interactive patents. Well... Apple also has the now very classic sliding unlock patent, and Apple applied for it.
A very broad patent description, corresponding to another patent troll company also holding a patent related to sliding unlock.
However, as a rising star, Bolang is very powerful and has been avoiding it from the beginning. Therefore, the completely reconstructed "World" graphical interface has designed many new gestures and widely registered patents.
The legal department led by Lin Hong continues to expand, and it is still very busy as a result.
Because not only projects with existing definite results need to apply for patents, but also some very long-term conceptual projects need to reserve patents. Anyway, some things are very simple to make.
In short, through the phone call with Wen Liang and the report from the general assistant, Liu Chiping rationally believed that Wen Liang suffered a setback during his trip.
But his intuition told him that this matter might not be that simple.
'A person like Wen Liang has a very unique way of thinking, and his way of solving problems may not necessarily be conventional solutions.'
………
While Liu Chiping was having some thoughts because of a phone call, there were similar discussions in Jingcheng and Weiluo.
After listening to the secretary's detailed report, Director Yang pushed up his glasses and said calmly: "Bo Lang's foundation is very weak and he cannot be worthy of his reputation."
"Young people think that they can control every industry, and that they can settle everything if they have some connections. How could they have thought that basic rules need to be followed in everything?"
secretary:"……"
Although his butt is on the wilting side, he really wants to say that we are the ones who think that a little relationship can settle everything.
Director Yang added: "Since Monday, Bolang Terminal has been making constant mistakes. It won't last long. Arrangements will be made and preparations will be made in all aspects. The focus will be on public opinion!"
The secretary nodded repeatedly.
Entering December, the market has undergone some new changes.
On the morning of Monday the 3rd, the iPhone 5’s network access permit entered the approval process, and it is confirmed that it will be approved for online sale after the 20th.
This matter was already doomed from the moment Lao Miao took the initiative to call Wen Liang.
In the early morning of the 3rd, Silicon Valley time, Apple issued a brief statement, saying that iPhone 5 will be launched in the Xiaoxiba market this Friday, and will be launched in more than 50 other countries and regions on the 14th and 21st respectively.
Among them, China is on the list No. 21.
According to the information given by Lao Miaotou, the launch of iPhone 5 in the Chinese market was delayed by one week due to Bolang factors.
And these 'major' changes give many people confidence.
Among them is Director Yang, who believes that the immediate approval of the iPhone 5 network access permit this Monday is related to the decline in public relations through resources and relationships.
And now that Director Yang has seen Wen Liang leaving ZTE in a "grey" manner, he even thinks that Bolang Terminal's attempt to cooperate with ZTE has failed.
After all, from a rational business perspective, it is indeed difficult for Bolang Terminal to obtain cooperation from ZTE, a large and established manufacturer, when its mobile phone business is completely deadlocked.

Wen Liang and Li Ze sat side by side in the Maybach, which had very comfortable rear space.
Li Ze said with a smile: "Why don't you stay for a meal before leaving? You also declined Dong Hou's kindness and wanted to get some smoke bombs?"
"I'm going to say I'm hiding from Liu Chiping, believe it or not." Wen Liang said casually while playing with Xinghai Phone 1 with one hand.
Li Ze thought about it seriously, then nodded: "Of course, I believe it."
"Actually, what I'm more curious about is why our cooperation with ZTE is so smooth?"
Wen Liang smiled and asked, "How do you know it's smooth?"
"We have known each other for so many years, and I can still tell a little bit about your mood." Li Ze said calmly, "Although I don't know what exactly you and Dong Hou talked about, and why they talked so fast, the result must be good.
"
Wen Liang glanced at Li Ze and smiled: "It's much better than expected, but it was negotiated through connections. ZTE's major shareholder is state-owned assets."
After briefly mentioning it, Wen Liang turned to specific matters: "We will carry out strategic cooperation with paid sharing of resources in the three major areas of high-end chips, new generation broadband wireless mobile communication networks, and core software; in addition, we will launch one or two products for the cooperation.
ZTE will send people to our Bolang terminal tomorrow for detailed discussions on the proposal to compete between mobile phones for the open market and non-customized models related to decline."
Of course, Li Ze understood that these things had to be completed by Bolang Terminal, which he was in charge of. He just said: "In this way, the declining mobile phone business will soon be concentrated on providing customized models for operators; just like last year they
After the poor sales of the Lephone, it immediately launched the A60, which has become a big hit. This year, we adopted a sea of machine strategy, but it is not suitable for the open market, so it should be easier to target."
Wen Liang said bluntly: "Have a good talk with ZTE's team and let them accept the hardware and software solution options we provide."
Li Ze was stunned for a moment, and said that he understood the hardware. Some of the non-core chip self-research and key supply chain holdings were completed by him personally. Among them, the four major components of memory, flash memory, screen, and camera that he could not touch were also finalized by him one by one.
International suppliers.
software?
So he asked: "Which software is it?"
"Android UI."
“When have we ever made an Android UI?”
"It was first done by someone from the Bolang Lab. Later, Yang Xingshan's team took over the related development. When he first reported that the graphical interface was very unsatisfactory, he invested his energy in developing a version of Android UI, and then proposed 'World'."
"I do not know how?"
"I'm in charge of the Bolang Laboratory, and you don't have enough energy to worry about it. The reason why I know is because I provided the soul and creativity of the graphical interface."
"Fuck? How dare you say you don't know martial arts when you're riding a horse?"
"Indeed not, except 'hello, world'."
With that said, Wen Liang changed the subject: "As for the details, let your secretary look up the company information. In short, from now on, you have to focus on continuing to deal with the decline and preparing for the launch of the mobile phone."
Upon hearing this, Li Ze suddenly sat up straight and sighed: "The press conference still has to be rehearsed. I haven't finished memorizing the script yet, and suddenly I feel like I'm back in high school and giving a speech for the first time."
Wen Liang glanced at Li Ze and was too lazy to talk to him.
Among them, probably only Li Bowen had almost no experience of speaking on stage because he was a little introverted. The others had already done it in high school.
Except that the press conference is slightly longer, it is slightly different from a speech.
Wen Liang simply adjusted the seat to half-flat and fell asleep.
For such a journey of one to two hundred kilometers, the comfort of the rear row of the Maybach 62S is reflected. Even a tall person of 1.8 meters can lie completely flat.
After lying down, Wen Guang began to think about it.
Since the mobile phone business entered the formal implementation stage, Wen Liang has continued to use his network to accelerate various operations.
This smooth negotiation with ZTE made Wen Liang feel the convenience but also the disadvantages.
In a relational society, if Wenliang can be in the first grade of junior high school, someone can be in the fifteenth grade.
If he had followed the rules completely, Wen Liang would have experienced the difficulties many times now, and the difference between the mobile phone business and the Internet business has also been reflected.
Internet business has a strong public nature, and it must first be launched with means.
The mobile phone business still tends to be traditional, and there is a business of customizing mobile phones for operators, which can be done without any means.
That's why decline is so difficult.
On the contrary, Wen Liang's first choice was to cooperate with ZTE, and he also wanted to give ZTE a hand.
On the one hand, ZTE has been the first to show goodwill since last week.
On the other hand, although Hou Dong's friendliness today is partly due to his gentle background, after all, Hou Dong can also refuse and return the favor~
Finally, Wen Liang has a good impression of ZTE, and he admires Dong Hou even more. He is a man who has explored a suitable path and dedicated his life to ZTE.
ZTE is the first licensed state-controlled private enterprise and has many opportunities to change its state-controlled status. Director Hou has no idea.
On the contrary, it has declined, inexplicably changing from 100% state control to absolute control by private enterprises.
In short, based on Bolang’s current development plans in various aspects, as well as the depth of research and development.
Coupled with the strategic cooperation framework that Bolang has now reached with ZTE, it will obviously only take a short period of time, and ZTE will not be afraid of restrictions on high-end chips.
Even if ZTE still doesn't feel the need to master high-end chips, etc., with Bolang, it will have room to maneuver even if it is temporarily restricted in the future. 1-
1: In fact, ZTE is the most resolute in terms of restrictions, and has not given any time to relax, unlike Juchang, which has given opportunities to relax again and again. On the one hand, ZTE's core technology is slightly inferior, and on the other hand, it also means that ZTE is facing difficulties.
The situation is far more difficult than what public opinion knows and imagines, and it also illustrates the importance of public opinion marketing. According to relevant information, ZTE immediately cut its marketing funds after being banned to survive...
