my return to life

Zheng Jinrong is still the highest representative.

But this time he was not the first to speak, but another executive.

It was a complaint from the very beginning.

"..."

"We come here with full sincerity for cooperation, and hope that your company will give you more consideration."

It can be regarded as Samsung Electronics specially launching it to sing a bad face.

To be honest, Frontier Science and Samsung Electronics' first batch of domestic market system authorization contracts are priced very high.

The proportion of 7%, 2000 million copies, Samsung Electronics is also a bit unbearable.

But Samsung Electronics at the time had no choice.

This is the result of many reasons.

The first is that the domestic smartphone market is almost monopolized by MindOS.

Smartphones equipped with Android system are also sold, but the sales volume is not very optimistic.

The current Android is an open source with a bit of an advantage, and the optimization in all aspects is really not flattering.

It's okay to play with the machine, and there are few paying buyers, generally concentrated in the thousand yuan machine market.

The second is that although MindOS is always going against the odds, there are no high-end models in the domestic market.

However, Samsung has a new high-end series launched this year, but because the sales feedback of other smart models is very unoptimistic, it has not been vigorously pushed to the Chinese market for a long time.

In the end, Samsung Electronics chose to pay this huge licensing fee in exchange for high-end series entering the domestic market in advance and monopolizing dumping.

It has been exactly one month until today, and the results are very gratifying.

It is better than the sales of the same series in overseas markets.

But Samsung Electronics is not being taken advantage of. Every time a machine is sold, 7% of the retail price is given to Frontier, and the profit is directly reduced by a large amount.

Even if the price is specially increased to 5499 yuan, and the relevant high licensing fees are passed on to consumers, the profit is still greatly reduced.

In order to end the first phase of the contract as soon as possible, considering the weak promotion of the Bada system, Samsung Electronics finally decided to abandon the promotion of Bada in the Chinese market and completely change to MindOS.

At the same time, it is hoped that the authorization fee will be reduced through this round of negotiations.

Of course, because MindOS is completely a seller's market, Samsung Electronics also knows that this negotiation has to pay something.

"..."

Shi Xinrong took over the conversation and talked eloquently: "Samsung Electronics is our friendly partner in cutting-edge science..."

"..."

The first wave of confrontation disappeared invisible.

Simply put, nothing.

Samsung Electronics complained, and Frontier Science expressed the friendliness of cooperation.

Lu Weiyu and Zheng Jinrong sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, not in a hurry.

Fang Nian went to the theater.

In fact, frontiers don't care about the time of negotiation at all, and it doesn't matter how long it takes.

If Samsung Electronics wants to continue to occupy the high-end market, it must cut its meat.

Although they have consumed the 2000 million licenses limited by the first contract with a price as high as 7% of the retail price in a reasonable way, they have also reserved 2 million licenses for S200 for emergencies.

but……

However, without the continued authorization of MindOS, the sales of S2 will come to an abrupt end.

and so……

Zheng Jinrong quickly entered the field, showing the sincerity of Samsung Electronics: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Shi, I believe that the friendly cooperation between us can be sustainable."

"..."

"You also promised at the beginning that after the end of the first batch of contracts, you will coordinate within the alliance to reduce the authorization fee."

"..."

Lu Weiyu chuckled and said, "That's true, but we hope that the future cooperation will still be friendly."

"..."

After several confrontations.

Zheng Jinrong gritted his teeth pretendingly, and said, "How about this, we will deliver the final payment of 100 million authorizations today, and the full payment of the remaining 200 million authorizations."

"Of course, the remaining 200 million copies will be used for other models."

Hearing this, Lu Weiyu looked calm: "Your actions are very sincere, I don't know what your specific needs are."

"..."

Only at this step can we officially enter the topic.

Samsung Electronics must have new ideas.

And I also specially made some sincerity in advance.

More than 44 billion funds have been delivered before and after.

This is also a big cash outlay for Samsung Electronics.

Even because of the hot sales of S2 in the domestic market, Samsung Electronics has ample cash flow.

Zheng Jinrong said seriously: "We hope to sign a long-term supply contract."

"Based on the excellence of your MindOS, we will fully adopt MindOS."

Lu Weiyu asked further: "As far as I know, you have a self-developed Bada system, and a large number of models use Android. Why do you say that you fully use MindOS?"

Hearing this, Zheng Jinrong smiled slightly: "Yesterday, our latest high-level meeting decided to abandon the self-developed Bada system, and will completely stop the research and development of Bada from 2012."

Zheng Jinrong didn't say much about the rest.

"..."

Hearing this, Fang Nian's heart skipped a beat.

Although Bada has long been doomed to be a failed system.

But there have also been certain glorious moments, such as having more application software support than MindOS at the beginning.

It is also obviously earlier than MindOS research and development, a project launched in 09.

It just took a path similar to Android, and its development is not as good as Android, so it is doomed to fail.

But Fang Nian did not expect that Samsung Electronics would give up Bada so calmly.

"..."

Almost an hour of intense discussions ensued.

Zheng Jinrong made many demands on behalf of Samsung Electronics.

Including hope to reduce authorization costs and so on.

It also includes permanent supply contracts and related support, etc.

Frontier didn't make things too difficult for Samsung Electronics. It should be said that Samsung Electronics is now a major customer of Frontier.

Counting the total amount of more than 50 billion yuan that is about to arrive in the account, the revenue contributed by Samsung Electronics to Frontier accounts for more than 60% of the total revenue.

It is tens or even hundreds of times more than the comprehensive contribution of the Nuwa Alliance.

At present, Xiaomi is the best-developed member of the entire Nuwa Alliance. The development plans of other manufacturers are too conservative.

Other than that, it's Meizu.

Although Meizu's performance has been disappointing repeatedly, it has taken the top priority after all and has begun to adapt to the general environment.

The one who pulls the most hips is Juchang.

The Chrysanthemum Factory gave Fang Nian an inexplicable sense of stiffness, which seemed to be due to the difficulty in adjusting due to its large size.

Instead, Oppo and Vivo have prepared new models again.

It can be said that it is high-yielding like a sow.

Little by little, it has eroded the physical market in cities below the second tier.

Outside the league is Samsung.

Because Samsung is an old brand for many years, except for the system, the whole is very cool, from the lens group, the screen to the memory particles, chips and so on.

After all, it is only a small-scale adjustment of the supporting operating system.

It immediately became the second best-selling smartphone.

The first is undoubtedly Redmi 1.

As for ZTE and Coolpad, including Lenovo's big brother, they are relatively unresponsive.

Among them, Lenovo's big brother is the most, and now it is sticking to the Android camp and never giving up.

Both ZTE and Coolpad are testing MindOS with new flagship products...

"..."

In short, after a whole morning of consultations, Frontier Science and Samsung Electronics finally reached a new memorandum of cooperation.

The terms are relatively simple:

1. Long-term supply of Nuwa mobile phone system to Samsung Electronics with cutting-edge science (except for force majeure factors);

2. Frontier Science charges Samsung Electronics an authorization fee of 3% of the retail price of mobile phones in the domestic market;

To this end, Samsung Electronics agreed to purchase 1000 million pieces of Shenlong 1 in batches;

And to purchase 2012 million pieces of Shenlong series new products for flagship models in 3000, it is necessary to ensure that it is ahead of the latest flagship chips of Apple and Qualcomm in third-party evaluation agencies, and significantly ahead of the latest flagship chips of Samsung's self-developed Exynos;

3. Samsung Electronics promises to give priority to the Nuwa mobile phone system for flagship models in overseas markets;

4. Frontier science will try to promote Nuwa Alliance to absorb Samsung Electronics.

Frontier Science gave up 4 points in one brain, and the licensing fee was directly reduced from 7% to 3% of the alliance limit.

In exchange for a cumulative order of 4000 million pieces of Shenlong series chips from Samsung Electronics.

This clause will undoubtedly greatly delay the progress of Samsung's self-developed Exynos chips, and of course it may force Samsung to make the Exynos series very good.

There are many reasons why Samsung Electronics agreed to this clause.

For example, 'hi, nuwa' is quietly launched in overseas markets.

And Samsung Electronics itself will purchase SoCs from other manufacturers such as Qualcomm.

Samsung Electronics is ready to embrace MindOS in an all-round way, and purchasing tens of millions more chips is actually irrelevant.

As for whether Frontier will promote Nuwa Alliance to absorb Samsung Electronics as a new member, the answer...

Of course no.

But Fang Nian will still do a set of plays.

Chapter 766 Pure passers-by;

The second round of business cooperation between Frontier Science and Samsung Electronics has not been made public through the media like the first one.

Samsung Electronics is clearly prepared.

After the signing of the memorandum of cooperation, Samsung Electronics immediately settled the full payment of the third recent contract, about 6 million yuan.

Completed the first phase of the contract.
