On September 29, Huawei and Logic completed the share swap in a low-key manner, but such earth-shattering news was easily covered up.
Instead, there were widespread rumors that Lu Fei and Ren Zhengfei were serving as honorary advisors to each other's company, and that they would join forces to destroy Hong Kong.
"Mr. Lu, according to the people we recruited, Harbor's plan to list in Xiangjiang has been completely ruined."
Sun Hongjun was sitting on the sofa and glanced at the teapot that was making noise from the corner of his eye.
Lu Fei held the tea cup with a tea clip and said while brewing:
"Li Yinan will definitely not give up. What new actions will he take after the failure of his listing?"
"I know this person quite well. He is from a technical background, has a high level of ambition, and is only thinking about going public."
Sun Hongjun leaned forward and handed over the list of employees who had switched jobs.
"We must keep a close eye on the trends in the harbor, and we must never allow major international telecommunications companies to acquire and integrate them."
Lu Fei flipped through it casually. All technical talents were former Huawei backbones who were proficient in communications. He nodded with satisfaction:
"These people will be given priority to Huang Zhang and Bai Yongxiang, and those who are not needed will be diverted and replenished to the MP3 and Kindle product lines."
"I see."
Sun Hongjun glanced at his watch. When the minute hand passed one minute, there was a knock on the door.
After saying "come in", Huang Zhang and Bai Yongxiang walked up to them one after another and sat down solemnly.
"I should have guessed the purpose of finding you, right?"
Lu Fei saw the two men nodding, made two cups of tea and handed them over, "Next month, a document will be issued to abolish the five-year mobile phone production approval system and change it to an approval system. In other words, logical mobile phone
The project will be launched soon.”
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Sun, these are the sketches we made after market research and spent more than a month. Please take a look."
Huang Zhang and Bai Yongxiang looked at each other and took out the design drawings they had already prepared from their briefcase.
Judging from the variety of appearances, including straight plate, flip cover, slide cover, wrist, and rotation, I thought that at least one of them would suit Lu Fei's liking, but I never expected that none of them would be able to catch the eye of the Dharma.
After all, in the early years of the millennium, the design of mobile phones continued to follow the MP3 idea, which was nothing more than digging a small hole in the back and installing a camera.
"What I want to create is an international product that can compete with major manufacturers such as Nokia and Ericsson, and is worthy of the Logic brand."
Lu Fei shook his head in disappointment.
"Mr. Lu, in fact, domestic brands, such as Bird, Hisense, Amoi, and TCL, are not inferior to foreign brands."
Bai Yongxiang looked embarrassed and said: "I did some research beforehand. Last year alone, domestic brands surpassed all international brands for the first time and took the first place in China's mobile phone market."
"Does winning the first place rely on technology? It just relies on the local protection of the approval system. Is it still okay now?"
Lu Fei said: "They are just flowers in a greenhouse. Let's see how they perform in the sea. Can any of them beat them?"
There was a hint of hatred in his tone. How could he succeed in the mobile phone and even the semiconductor industry with such a group of insects?
"Mr. Lu, what do you want to do?"
Huang Zhang and Bai Yongxiang's eyes were full of passion.
If they had just built the factory, they would have thought Mr. Lu was crazy, but after winning one victory after another, they already regard him as a god.
Lu Fei gave Sun Hongjun a look, and Sun Hongjun calmly took out two documents.
The two of them took a closer look. The first thing they saw was a confidentiality agreement, and they signed it without thinking.
Immediately afterwards, the cover of the second copy was written with the eye-catching words "logicX", which was undoubtedly the name of the mobile phone. Then, when I opened the title page of the plan, I saw a simple hand-drawn design drawing -
A round rectangle marked "Plastic Shell", with a round and compact appearance, a sliding cover design, and number keys below.
The upper part is the screen. The full screen occupies three-quarters of the area. The remaining one-quarter is filled with buttons. In addition to the home button, there are two buttons on the left and right, including functions, navigation, answering and hanging up.
The color names are written below the front view, side view, and top view, "red on white," "gold on black," and "panda color."
The display screen of the main view has two pictures, one is the "logicX" logo, and the other is the Android UI menu interface.
At this time, just like the first time they saw lmusic, Huang Zhang, Bai Yongxiang and others were immediately stunned and swallowed their saliva:
"Mr. Lu, is this our mobile phone?"
"Yes, this is our logical trial, focusing on fashionable music phones."
Lu Fei looked at the design drawing that was almost identical to the Nokia 5300, "How about it? Is it good enough to compete with major international manufacturers?"
"Enough, enough, but why is it a music phone, a music phone..."
Sun Hongjun, Huang Zhang and others had expressions of disbelief, as if they thought their ears had heard wrongly.
"Of course, we must make full use of the technology accumulated by Logic in MP3 to tailor a model for young people."
Lu Fei squinted his eyes. These days, the main force in mobile phone consumption is middle-aged people, but this age group is like a red sea. There are international manufacturers such as Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola, and domestic gem mobile phones such as TCL, and vicious competition is fierce.
Not much oil and water to squeeze out!
White-collar workers, student parties and other young groups, especially women, are all open and virgin territory.
"Mr. Lu, I wonder what the price of this phone is?"
After Huang Zhang got excited, his brain calmed down, just like taking medicine according to the prescription, what price range, what grade of mobile phone configuration.
"The price is 2,000 yuan." Lu Fei picked up the tea cup and replaced the wine with tea.
"2000!?"
Bai Yongxiang's hand holding the tea cup couldn't help but trembled, and the tea spilled out of the cup.
Nowadays, copycat phones are rampant. They are sold everywhere for 899 yuan, and there are as many as dogs under 600 yuan. 2,000 yuan can be said to be the price of a mobile phone in China. Can it be sold?
Lu Fei raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp: "Didn't I say it? This is a test of logic. We can't just focus on sales. If the price is 998, how can we maintain the image of a mid-to-high-end brand, so I'll just keep silent.
A blockbuster.”
"But Mr. Lu, can we make money from this?"
Even Sun Hongjun, who was devout and superstitious about Mr. Lu, was wavering for a while.
"Of course!"
Lu Fei showed strong confidence. The Nokia N5300 was a veritable hit in the arcades back then. It was as popular as the Apple 4. On the streets, almost fashionable men and women had one.
"But Mr. Lu, China has not yet established its own supply chain system, and is controlled by foreign manufacturers in every aspect."
Bai Yongxiang secretly reminded that the road must be walked step by step. If you take too big a step, you will easily lose your temper.
It is better to imitate domestic friends and do ODM, put the manufacturer's complete machine on its own brand, and make full use of the golden signboard of logic.
Make money, don’t be shabby!
"I never thought about making money from feature phones."
Lu Fei raised the corner of his mouth: "LogicX is Logic's first functional machine and also its last."
"Mr. Lu, if we don't make money from feature phones, how can we make money?"
Sun Hongjun looked confused, Mr. Lu, you look like we are stupid.
"Two steps, the first step is a functional machine, logicX just gives us experience."
Lu Fei distributed the brand new design drawings to the three people, "The second step is to make the mobile phone that Logic really wants to make!"
Sun Hongjun and the other three couldn't help but lower their heads, and saw "lphone" written in bold bold on the cover of the plan.
"smartphone?!"
Huang Zhang was completely dumbfounded. There was only one button on the front, and the back was tightly sealed. There was no way to change the battery.
Can this even be called a mobile phone?
"Yes, a smartphone is just like a computer. It has an independent operating system, independent CPU, memory and even graphics card. It needs to rely on hardware to maintain speed and efficiency. You can install various software you need at will..."
Lu Fei explained eloquently: "What we want to do is this kind of mobile phone! An epoch-making mobile phone!"
In an instant, Sun Hongjun and others, whose minds were blank, stared wide-eyed and had goosebumps all over their bodies.
Although we didn’t understand it, we were greatly shocked!
