Chapter 546 Visit to Samsung

Before the start of the 2012 London Olympics, Honor finally won the top sponsor of the 2016 Rio Olympics after a battle with Samsung Electronics.

Although there is no Olympic marketing, before the start of the Olympic Games, the sales of Honor All-Network mobile phones have increased significantly, especially in Europe, where they have achieved a very obvious advantage.

This news overwhelmed Sanjay Jia to join Honor and launch an anti-corruption campaign. Many employees in charge of the supply chain were affected, including a large number of domestic suppliers, causing considerable turmoil.Some suppliers whose interests were damaged began to spread rumors online, saying that Honor discriminated against domestic suppliers.

This is not outrageous, but there is something even more outrageous: there was a mouse in the warehouse of a certain supply chain company. Honor placed employees in the company to report it and formulated a complete set of procedures, including welfare benefits, work and rest time, and performance appraisal for the cat. …

Although it cannot be said to discriminate against domestic suppliers, most of the people whose interests were harmed this time were domestic companies. Well, no, most of the people reported by the media were domestic companies.Without supervision and restraint, how many people still believe that Wai Guoren is more ethical than the Chinese?

Sanjay Jia is not familiar with the domestic situation, and with a strong founder like Qu Li, he is also afraid of making mistakes, so he gives priority to European and American employees and suppliers with whom he is more familiar.Familiar with the routines, eager to achieve success, and naturally ruthless.

In order to appease his partners, Qu Li went to Kimchi to meet Samsung Chairman Li Jianxi; Lei Jun went to Japan to meet with the heads of Sharp, Sony, Canon and other companies, and Sanjay Jia went to the United States to meet with Qualcomm, Google, Microsoft and other partners.

So who stays in the company?The three of them didn't all go out at the same time. If they did, Zhang Yaqin would be responsible for it from now on.The era of software-defined products is coming, and Qu Li needs him to empower the Honor KOS system.

The mobile operating system is based on Android, which is no choice. But Ali can develop YunOS, and Honor can naturally do it without much difficulty.Not to mention the application ecology, compared with IOS and Android, the key is what special advantages the self-developed system can have.You can’t learn from YunOS and delete the user’s APP remotely, right?

Honor has chosen to contribute to the open source community and work together to make Android and Linux bigger and stronger. Qu Li believes that only when there are more people in China who understand the operating system and the base is larger, will it be possible to surpass Windows, Linux, Android and IOS systems in the future.

Zhang Yaqin finally chose the Linux-based KOS system including the smart cockpit entertainment system for Qiancheng Motor.Qu Li didn't ask him for the reason. He didn't understand it anyway, so just wait until it's done. If it really doesn't work, then just change it.

In 20 years, various domestic industries should continue to be involution. It takes 5 years for foreign countries to upgrade, but it may only take 2 years for China. Trading speed for time will kill overseas counterparts.Had it not been for the incomplete accumulation of technology, Qu Li would have led the Qiancheng team to start involution.

Major domestic brands have promised to pre-install KMS on Android smartphones, but Honor has been criticized the most in China for not having its own operating system. Many people questioned Qu Li's knees because of this, but he still insisted on his own rhythm.

"The system of our flagship phone already supports the TRIM command. The flash memory will not become slower with use, and the gaming capabilities will be greatly improved..." Zhang Yaqin, head of Honor KOS

"Is there any progress in the development of the new virtual machine?" Qu Li asked Zhang Yaqin

"The Android side is not very cooperative." Zhang said awkwardly.

This is expected. Honor wants to have more say in Android and launch a more advanced ART virtual machine in advance. So the next step is to dominate the development direction and progress of Android?

Google protects its core interests very closely, but Qu Li is not helpless: "Unless a good enough virtual machine is developed and applied to the Android system, Honor will not pre-install the Android system with GMS."

"I understand." Zhang Yaqin was very happy to receive support.

"Our self-developed operating system based on Linux and combining the advantages of MeeGo and Tizen is already very complete!"

Zhang Yaqin reminded Qu Li to plan well whether to launch a self-developed KOS mobile phone.Qu Li has never been in a hurry on this matter. He has never publicized the development of a self-developed system, but he still insisted on getting the job done.

The logic behind this is not difficult to understand. Samsung has insisted on self-research in the past few years and has wavered and refused to take sides. Although Honor must value its relationship with Google, it must take the initiative.

"Let's cooperate with Youku to make Internet TV first." This self-developed KOS will definitely be used in cars and smart watches. Qu Li has not yet decided whether to use it on smartphones, Honor or Jumei Ming.He didn't discuss it with Lei Jun, Sanjay Jia and others. There was no need. It was better to rely on intuition to analyze various pros and cons. The probability of success was the same anyway.

After Qu Li talked with Zhang Yaqin, he flew to Kimchi Country and soon met the respected leader of Samsung. It was not his character that he respected, but the old man's achievements.Not only did the second and third generations of their family not cross over, they were able to build on the achievements of their predecessors and continue to grow the company, showing great vitality, which is rare in the world.If you compare it to the wealthy Chinese in Southeast Asia, the gap will suddenly appear.

They recalled the past, looked forward to the future, and discussed current cooperation. Honor now not only uses Samsung for mobile phone screens, but also purchases products from Samsung and Spansion Semiconductor (Yangtze Memory) for mobile phone memory.The two companies have maintained a good cooperative relationship.

What does Qu Lilai do, maintain the relationship?

What is the purpose of anti-corruption in Honor’s supply chain, to give Sanjay Jaa his position?Impossible. Internal changes are important to maintain the company's vitality, but reducing supply chain procurement costs is the core appeal.Qu Li finally discovered that anyone who sells products should make a profit, and there is something wrong with the idea that domestic sales are king.

The gross profit of a Honor mobile phone seems to be more than 100 US dollars, and the net profit is about 50 US dollars. This is the key to Honor's extraordinary speed of development.

Qu Li and Lei Jun both know that Honor's supply chain management has loopholes and waste, but when speed is king, even if they know that someone is greedy for money, both of them can only pretend not to see it, unless these people are greedy for money and can't do well at the same time. things that affect product delivery.

Honor did not negotiate prices with Samsung before, but this is different from the past. He has the right reasons, time, energy and trump cards to handle these matters.

So in the media reports of the two countries: the "best" entrepreneurs from China and South Korea happily "chatted" together, and the Li family also invited Qu Li to stay at home for a few days. Two young people, Qu Li and Li Zaiyong, Became a "good friend".

Well, it’s not a rumor. Everyone communicates in English. Competition is competition and cooperation is cooperation. The two of them are not at war with each other in private. They exchange their own business and management experiences. The Samsung Li family has rich experience in running multinational enterprises, and Qu Li has The courage to break the rules and move forward.
