Chapter 1491 Lao Ren, do you do the mobile phone business?
In the previous life, Guowei Company came from behind in the mobile phone business, occupied a large domestic market in a few years, and had strong competitiveness in the international market, so much so that many people thought that Guowei Company was a mobile phone company.
In this life, the Android system has come out, Apple's S system has been basically completed, and the 3 network is becoming more and more popular in the United States. According to the timetable of the previous life, Apple's smartphone is about to be born.
At the beginning of this year, Wanan and Google reached a cooperation. The two companies jointly developed applications on the Android system. One of them is the application of the Android system for mobile phones. Perhaps Google will come up with a smartphone before Apple in this life.
, of course, Apple’s smartphones dominate the world with their unique designs, which no one can compare with.
Liu Lang has already begun to secretly buy shares of Apple, waiting to make money in the mobile Internet era.
Wan'an, the competition between Google and Apple is of a different dimension. Liu Lang is not worried about who wins or loses. He is more concerned about domestic smartphone development. No, perhaps it is self-produced smartphone operating systems. It seems that
Looking at it, I can only see those from Guowei Company.
At the headquarters of Guowei Company in Shenzhen City, Liu Lang and Ren Weitian were having lunch in the cafeteria.
Ren Weitian is 62 years old this year. Most people have retired long ago, but for Ren Weitian, his career has just begun, and he is in very good health. No young person can compare to him when it comes to work.
Guowei Company has developed so fast in recent years that Ren Weitian himself was a little surprised. Ten years ago, the small business with only more than 50 employees and a headache every time it was time to pay wages has become a company that now has a large number of employees.
With more than a thousand employees, a large company with an output value of 200 million US dollars last year and profits of more than 10 million US dollars, everything seems to be in a dream.
The company is so powerful, and Ren Weitian is indispensable. It can be said that without Ren Weitian, there would be no Guowei today. Similarly, Ren Weitian is like a god in the eyes of Guowei employees, just like Liu Langzhi is to Norinco. Of course,
, it is the employees of Norinco who admire Liu Lang more. No other company in the world can find this.
Ren Weitian has supreme power in the company, but he is approachable and has no airs. He usually eats in the cafeteria and chats and laughs with his subordinates. This is the same as Liu Lang. Now he and Liu Lang and several others
Famous executives eat together in their own canteen. It is a buffet with more than ten dishes to choose from, and sometimes high-end dishes such as seafood. For a well-known company like Guowei, the canteen is a sight to behold.
"Old Ren, did you know? Wanan Company has developed a new intelligent system that can be applied to multiple terminals, called the Android system!"
Liu Lang said.
"Intelligent terminal system? What does it look like?"
Ren Weitian immediately became alert, because Liu Lang rarely told him about these business matters, so it was very important since Liu Lang took the initiative to mention it.
"The Android system can be used in a variety of terminal products. According to my speculation, this system will be widely used on mobile phones, thus bringing the Internet era to the next stage!"
"What stage?"
Ren Weitian asked immediately.
"Mobile Internet Era!"
"Mobile Internet era? What era is this?"
Ren Weitian is puzzled.
"It's very simple. With a mobile phone in your hand, you can connect to the Internet wirelessly, browse websites, download songs, watch programs, read, and moreover, you can pay online anytime and anywhere. This is what smartphones do.
!”
Ren Weitian, who was about to put a piece of meat into his mouth, stiffened and the piece of meat immediately fell into the bowl.
Not to mention Ren Weitian, even the others looked at each other stupidly. Liu Lang's imagination was simply incredible.
Liu Lang looked at them and smiled.
"What? Do you think I'm joking? No, let me tell you, this kind of mobile phone is in the process of being developed. Apple will do it, and Google will do it. It will be available in two years at most. By then, our mobile phones will
In an instant, it will be a piece of waste. Motorola and Ericsson will be finished overnight if they do not transform."
Ren Weitian and others looked at Liu Lang and realized that the other party was not joking. If he was not joking, then Liu Lang was right. The era he mentioned should be coming, because Liu Lang himself is always ahead of the times.
The person in front of me has never failed in his predictions about the times, and all of them have come true.
"Mr. Liu, what do you mean?"
A vice president of Guowei Company asked.
"Our Guowei company started with communication equipment, and it is doing very well now. However, I think it is not strong enough. We can completely rely on communication equipment to develop this smartphone. The two are connected. After all, in the future
Smartphones will be a major trend in the world.
I personally predict that in the next ten years, our country's demand for smartphones alone will be as high as more than 500 million units. Hey, 500 million units! Let's not say one-fifth, but one-tenth, two
One-tenth of the market is enough for us to make a lot of money."
"Five billion units? Oh my God! How much does that cost?"
"Fifty million units in ten years is not much. Now our country's annual mobile phone shipments are around 50 to 60 million units. In the next ten years, national income will be higher. And with the popularity of mobile Internet and the 3 era, the number of smartphones will increase."
The cost will also get lower and lower, and 500 million units is just a conservative estimate."
Yes, Liu Lang is indeed very conservative. In the year 2016 in his previous life, the country's smartphone shipments exceeded 300 million units, and in the ten years from 2006 to 2016, the total
Although the shipment volume did not reach one billion units, it was easy to reach 500 million units. Liu Lang took a minimum value just to let the other party not be "scared".
Ren Weitian thought for a moment and said.
"Liu Lang, I understand what you mean. Guowei started with communication equipment, so making mobile phones is not a problem. In fact, we can do it now. However, the competition in the domestic mobile phone market is too fierce. There are more than a dozen well-known brands.
International brands like Nokia, Motorola, etc., Ericsson over there, and domestic brands like Gionee, Ph.D., etc., put ads on TV every day, which annoys me, and the profit margins are very low, and there is no technical content.
But I’m very interested in the smartphone you mentioned. By the way, what system did you just say that Wanan Company invented?”
"Android system, this system is the operating system of future smartphones!".
"Okay, Wanan Company has a cooperative relationship with Guowei, so can I cooperate with them in this regard?"
Ren Weitian asked tentatively. He knew that the relationship between Liu Lang and Wan'an Company was very unusual. The two Wan Lie brothers had a close brotherly relationship with Liu Lang. As long as Liu Lang spoke, the other party would never refuse.
