Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 570 Fierce Competition

Although things between Qu Li and Lei Jun are not perfect, it can only be like this for the time being.It’s hard to achieve perfection in anything in this world. Just like Qu Li’s Honor, he produced and designed smart watches, true wireless Bluetooth headsets and smart voice speakers. However, he had several samples and none of them satisfied him.

For example, the simplest smart voice speaker, their artificial intelligence is not up to the task: "Let our Klun have two modes, one stand-alone and one connected." "In addition, we also need to do research on artificial intelligence."

This is something Qu Li can think of, but there is really no other way for true wireless Bluetooth headsets, so the only new product to be released in January next year is HonorWatch.In fact, Samsung also has smart watches equipped with Android system this year, but their direction is not sports monitoring and health management. They have cameras that can take videos. Are there any reveries that should not appear? Is it very suitable for Japanese people?

"No!" Qu Li tried it for a long time and finally rejected their plan.

"Why, this product is already excellent enough."

"What about wireless charging, what about a very smooth operating system, and what about simple interactions?"

Qu Li said a few words in succession, which immediately made the engineer who was about to roar wilt.

HonorWatch must use KOS based on Linux rather than Android, including the processor chip, which is the legendary full-stack self-developed (excluding sensors, etc.).

"We need more resource support..." Zou Da, head of HonorWatch

"Isn't what I arranged for you enough?" Qu Li glared at Zou Da.

"It has never been implemented." Zou Da insisted.

"What went wrong?"

"I was stuck by Mr. Li. He is not optimistic about this project and does not want to waste money..."

"..."

There is only one person in Glory, Mr. Li, who can personally decide the project for Kaquli.

"Then just give it to him directly. Do you dare to take it?" Qu Li hesitated for a while and said. Li Yinan is a member of Honor's board of directors and the company's deputy director and CTO. He has a high position of authority. If Zou Da offends Li Yinan, the smart watch project will fail in the end. , then you can only resign.

"There's nothing you dare not do!" Zou Da didn't expect Qu Li to be so decisive.

"Well, I wish you good luck." Qu Li did not put any more pressure on him.

Things were settled here, and Zhou Hongyi from 365 sent word through her friends that she wanted to meet Qu Li.Qu Li doesn't have much ill will towards Zhou Hongyi. Even if 365 does not renew the contract with Guge Search, it is still normal business competition and is understandable.

But Lei Jun, Zhou Hongyi's fellow countryman and former good friend, was not happy.

“This year, when major domestic Internet manufacturers manufacture mobile phones, Honor mobile phones have been criticized in various ways. This guy is crazy about the price and quality of our mobile phones, and the price-performance ratio is extremely low..."

"On Weibo, Kaixin.com, Friends.com and other social networking sites, people are hacking us everywhere. Although it may be a collective behavior of those major manufacturers, 365 is the most popular."

"Doesn't domestic manufacturers and I count as competitors?" Qu Li thought that he had given up on the mobile phone market within the price range of 2000 yuan, which was generous enough. According to domestic market analysis at this time, he had given up about 70% of the market share.

"IPhone and Honor are the two best smartphone companies in the world. Gao Yushan said that some companies want to break consumers' perception. IPhone has the strongest product, and Honor's self-developed chips and Android systems are..."

So it turns out that persimmons should be eaten soft. Honor’s promotion and Quli’s business strategy all insist on “putting me first”, talk about their own progress, and do not evaluate competitors. If they want to discuss, they will talk about Apple’s IPhone.For example, with the support of this year's 28nm process chip and larger memory, there is no gap between the user experience of Honor mobile phones and iPhones. It can only be said that they are better than each other and both have advantages.

"Even if we defeat us, there are still major international companies such as Samsung and Nokia."

"Maybe they think that if Glory can do it, they all have a chance."

Damn it, this group of people thought that Honor, like Tesla, had no marketing expenses. They were widely spread rumors that the brakes failed but did not have enough countermeasures, so they could only resort to legal prosecution.

"Many of these domestic companies have established high-end brands..."

"Pfft..." Qu Li didn't expect someone to be so stubborn, "Why should they?"

Now it is 2012. Honor has been listed. The market value is now around 1500 billion US dollars. Operator channels all over the world, including online e-commerce and offline retail channels have been improved. Sales and profits have increased this year. How can they dare?

This is actually easy to explain. Coarse mobile phones have been successful, a bunch of man-made Internet mobile phones, Tesla’s development path of pure electric vehicles from high-end to low-end has been verified, and Wei Xiaoli and Steve Jobs have followed up and learned.The path that Honor and iPhone have taken...

"After the release of the Qinglong [-] chip, many venture capital funds withdrew funds from high-end mobile phone start-ups..."

"Is this considered a disaster to Chiyu?"

"It doesn't count, it has nothing to do with us." Lei Jun said with a smile. Behind a successful company there must be competitors who have "broken families and people", so there is no successful entrepreneur in the world who has a "compassionate" personality.

So try not to think that there are "good people" among entrepreneurs. Lei Jun has already started to defend and counterattack. For example, Juhua Factory, which was preparing to produce 365 special machines, temporarily changed its mind and stopped cooperation with 365, threatening other suppliers. …

Much of the domestic smartphone industry chain is supported by Apple and Honor. Although there is no equity relationship, various cooperations are very close. It is like Apple asking Futukang to choose between IPhone and coarse grain mobile phones. The result is suspenseful. ?

The 365 special supply machine has been available till now, haha, I won’t talk about the result, but it has greatly shocked a lot of black fans and trolls.Of course, it was not all threats that played a role. Honor invested 100 billion in real money to develop LCD panels for BOE, not even one share. The outside world was still confused about the news about Honor spending money to support the supply chain, but now they believe it.

Someone said on the Internet: "If someone really spends money to do technology research and development for suppliers like Honor, let alone set KPIs for cats, even if it sets KPIs for watchdogs, I will definitely follow it."

The matter of Honor or Qu Li setting KPIs for cats was also a "meme" that spread widely on the Internet in 2012. At first glance, it sounds harsh and lacks human touch, but behind this is not only the investment of real money, but also the management system. upgrade.

For at least two or three years, Apple and Honor will have absolute say in the domestic smartphone supply chain. In other words, in a country where the "new king" has been established, if you want to subvert the "new king", you can only say " Good luck".

In the end, Qu Li did not meet Zhou Hongyi and flew back to Yangcheng. He did not change cities for this year's New Year's Eve speech. Many Internet tycoons did not come, but there were more and more fans at home and abroad who wanted to hear his bragging.
