Daguo Technology starts with mobile phones

Chapter 1 Nebula Science and Technology Industrial Park

"Chairman! More than a dozen dealers have canceled our orders!"

"MediaTek lied to us all! They don't have a smartphone chip at all!"

"Even if they have, if they lose the opportunity, there is no place for us here!"

"Damn it, will our goods be smashed in your hands!?"

"No, there is another way..."

-

New Delhi, India.

"Boss! This will be our territory from now on! My one~"

Wrapped in a white turban, the unshaven, dark-skinned Amir rubbed his hands excitedly, staring straight at Liu Dalang's bag.

Liu Dalang was also unambiguous, and directly took out a red mobile phone that looked like an Apple 4s from his bag and threw it into Amir's arms.

"Hey, this is a baby!"

Amir took it in a hurry, and skillfully pressed the power button. Three seconds later, a green man's head appeared in the center of the phone screen——

"I can make pancakes! Drink the medicine quickly! Dalang's mobile phone!"

"Dalang~ it's time to take medicine!"

"I'm afraid I won't survive..."

"Dalangxiu said so! Take medicine~"

(Suona sounds~)

"Da Lang's mobile phone! Wairui Goode!" Amir couldn't help but exclaimed excitedly in broken Chinese, as if he had seen some peerless treasure.

Little did he know that the Dalang mobile phone in his hand was a pure counterfeit mobile phone, which only had the appearance of a smart phone. In fact, a batch of cards were stuck, no different from ordinary feature phones.

Three days ago, Liu Dalang crossed over to "Liu Dalang" with the same name and surname in the parallel world. Back in 2012, he became the chairman of Dalang Technology, a counterfeit mobile phone manufacturer.

In the era of counterfeit mobile phones, Liu Dalang led Dalang Technology out of many counterfeit mobile phone manufacturers, and was once considered the "King of Copycats" by his peers.

Now it is said that he is the chairman, but in fact the whole Dalang Technology has long been gone, and he is the only commander left, who trekked across mountains and rivers to New Delhi with a "gold rush dream".

The previous year 2009 was a critical year. When touch-control mobile phones became the mainstream, the major counterfeit mobile phone manufacturers would naturally not let go of this opportunity.

However, when Dalang Technology, which had just become the leader of domestic copycats, was preparing to copy smartphones, it found that the technology of their biggest supporter, MediaTek, began to stagnate.

Without technical support, the update speed of counterfeit mobile phones slowed down instantly. In addition, in order to seize the market, a certain operator began to use customer advantages to subsidize the price of smartphones.

In 2011, "China, China, Cool, and United" were born, and the price of smartphones fell to the cost price of counterfeit mobile phones, and the only price advantage of counterfeit mobile phones disappeared.

At the same time, Xiaomi entered the field of smart phones and launched the first generation of Xiaomi in the cost-effective mobile phone market. Once the first generation of Xiaomi was launched, it was a great success and began to erode the market of counterfeit mobile phones.

In addition, the domestic protection of intellectual property rights has been increasing year by year, and the supervision of imitation products has become more and more stringent. It has begun to clean up counterfeit mobile phone shops and stalls in various regions.

Under the multiple blows, the cost of obtaining technology for counterfeit mobile phones is getting higher and higher, and the profit margins are getting smaller and smaller. The "Huaqiang North" that was originally hard to find a shop unexpectedly has a large-scale wave of empty shops.

MediaTek's smart chip was long overdue, and Dalang Technology, which has no core technology, has lost its opportunity even if it wants to enter the smartphone market at this time, and it is slow at every step.

At this time, Liu Dalang received a gossip that Zhu Zhaojiang, who had left Africa, established Transsion, which has already occupied half of the African mobile phone market in four years.

Domestic feature phones have basically withdrawn from the market, but in India, feature phones are still the mainstream, and even in the next five years, feature phones will still be the mainstream of the Indian mobile phone market.

Therefore, Liu Dalang took the last assets of Dalang Technology to South Asia and India, which is also relatively backward economically, to seek new development.

"How dare you!?"

Liu Dalang shook his head, the Transsion Company was not created by Zhu Zhaojiang alone!He has all the technology of Bird mobile phones, what does he have?
It is not a good choice to start a new journey in an unfamiliar place with only acquaintance with a few executives of Xincheng Industrial Group.

The predecessor had a keen sense of business opportunities. Unfortunately, Dalang Technology has no core technology and no social resources. The remaining assets are more than 4000 million, but it will be over in a short time if it is done like this.

In backward and poor India, if you want to enter the mobile phone market, it is not feasible to copy Transsion's plan. You have to come up with something real.

Fortunately, the original Dalang Technology was engaged in the assembly and production of counterfeit mobile phones, and directly shipped most of the domestic machines. For this reason, Liu Dalang also paid high tariffs.

"Boss! We have dealt with eleven mobile operators!"

"Boss, the first batch of functional machine accessories have all been put into storage! When will the work start!"

"And the first batch of chips from MediaTek will arrive tomorrow! MT6573 has a total of 20 pieces! MT6515 has a total of 10 pieces!"

"Boss, we have found a total of 31 shops with good locations in New Delhi and Aligarh, and the rent is very low!"

"Here is the market research report you want: Nokia's market share is 73.05%, Samsung's market share is 21.06%, and others are not in the market!"

If Jobs knew that Apple, which he had worked hard all his life to create, could only occupy less than 1% of the mobile phone market in India, he didn't know how he would feel.

It has to be said that although the idea of ​​"Liu Dalang" directly coming to India to "seek gold" is reckless, his arrangement is not flawless, and Amir and his staff are also efficient enough.

The leader, Amir, has the surname of Vaishya, and his younger brothers are all Putuoluo, who still have a certain caste status. When contracting this abandoned industrial park, Liu Dalang was saved a lot of trouble.

The caste system has long been abolished in India, but the deeply rooted concept cannot be changed overnight, even in a big city like New Delhi.

"Good job, one person gets 301 rupees, plus a Dalang mobile phone, go back and wait for my notification, ready to start work at any time!"

This time Liu Dalang bets on all Dalang Technology's bets. The Indian mobile phone market seems to be full of business opportunities, but in fact, not many people can seize these business opportunities.

When making a market assessment, at least 12 million people have to be subtracted from India's [-] billion population, where there is a deeply rooted caste system, extreme social inequality and suffocating sexism.

At least 50% of the people are in a state of extreme poverty, and it is a luxury to buy a functional phone, let alone a smart phone.

The monthly salary of ordinary middle-class people is only about 6000 rupees, equivalent to just over 600 yuan, and their consumption power is very limited.

Poverty, laziness, chaos, greed, but full of business opportunities for counterattacks, this is the status quo of this place. It is foreseeable that the future of Dalang Technology will be very difficult.

A voice sounded in Liu Dalang's consciousness:
"Ding~ The initial task is completed: I already have an industrial park (Xingyun Science and Technology Industrial Park), do you want to activate [Technology Collection]"

"activation!"

"Ding~ [Technology Collection] has been activated!"

"Ding~ The detection is complete, and it has been automatically bound: Nebula Technology (formerly Dalang Technology)!"

"Ding ~ the current route can be selected..."

"Electronic technology!"

"Ding ~ choose success!"

"The electronic technology factory is loaded!"

"Initial task points have been transferred to your personal account, current points: 5000"

"Exchange D-level LCD screen production line, D-level lithium battery production line, Nebula system 1.0."

"Successful exchange!"

"Current points: 0"

D-level LCD screen production line: can produce D-~D+, 30P screen with refresh rate of 60~480hz, production capacity: 1000/hour.

D-level battery production line: It can produce lithium batteries with a single cell of 500-2000 mAh and a charging rate of 10w, with a production capacity of 1000/hour.

Nebula OS 1.0: Nebula System 1.0, a hybrid kernel system based on macrokernel and microkernel, improves the operating speed of the kernel and...

The interior of the Nebula Technology Industrial Park has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is divided into three areas, namely the production plant, the warehouse assembly area, and the headquarters of Nebula Technology Company.

The production plant covers the largest area, a full 30 acres, but the internal facilities are pitifully small. There are only two solitary production lines in the core area, and all the remaining machines are in the peripheral area.

The warehouse assembly area and the peripheral area of ​​the production plant will be the main workplaces for assembly workers in the future. Liu Dalang has not yet redeemed points for fully automatic production lines.

Amir and others were recruited by Liu Dalang into the Marketing Department of Nebula Technology.

Liu Dalang doesn't trust them, but as long as Amir is not stupid, he knows what to do.

Times have changed, and the caste system has been abolished. In this land, capital is king. Unlike in China, many things here can be opened up with money.

The next day, Liu Dalang notified Amir to bring his men, and not long after, two tricycles carrying forty or fifty ragged Asan arrived at the gate of Xingyun Science and Technology Industrial Park.

Suddenly there was a stench, and Liu Dalang pointed to a few of them who were eating a ball of dark green pancakes and asked Amir:

"What are they eating?"

"Cow dung cake! Cure all diseases!"

"Oh, I'm going!"

Liu Dalang almost threw up when he heard it, and waved his hands while suppressing his discomfort: "Okay, take a shower first after eating, put on work clothes, and Amir will show them the process!"

If possible, he really doesn't want these people to assemble mobile phones, but Foxconn has no factories in India at all, and the cost of finding domestic OEMs will increase a lot.

His current requirements are not too high. At the beginning, it is enough for this group of people to make the product qualification rate above 85%. After they have mastered it, they will further recruit external employees.

The assembly line was originally used by Dalang Technology, and the operation is simple. Except for the screen, battery and casing, which are produced by ourselves, all raw materials and components are bought back.

According to the existing conditions, Liu Dalang planned three models of Nebula Technology's first batch of mobile phones: Nebula1, Nebula1s, and the most equipped Nebula1 Pro.

Nebula1 is a traditional 24-key function machine with a 3-inch single-touch capacitive screen. The original Dalang Technology of this set of things is already familiar with it, and it is just as easy to change places.

The rear single camera is 200 million pixels, equipped with a 1000 mAh battery, supports 3G network, dual card dual standby, and the processor is a functional machine chip made by Dalang Technology's old friend domestic Spreadtrum.

Nebula1s则是一台入门级智能手机，正面直接用上了一块854×480分辨率的4英寸LCD屏幕，搭载联发科的MT6573处理器。

The Nebula1 Pro has a higher screen-to-body ratio, the processor is replaced by MediaTek MT6515, the camera pixels and battery capacity are higher, and it is no different from Nebula1s.

The Nebula 1s and Pro versions both have dual cameras, the front cameras are 200 megapixels, the rear cameras are 500 megapixels and 800 megapixels respectively, and the batteries are detachable, one with a capacity of 1800 mAh and the other with a capacity of 2000 mAh.

The three mobile phones come with Nebula OS1.0, pre-installed social software Facebook, native applications of Nebula system, and four casual games: Tetris, Snake, Sokoban, Lianliankan.

Indians like to take selfies, and the front camera is essential. They like instant chat and casual matching games, so pre-install Facebook and matching games for them.

If you like music videos, then equip all the Nebula series with two super-large mobile phone speakers, and finally meet their needs for news and tool applications.

Liu Dalang copied all the news and tool applications that are common in the Indian market to the functional machine Nebula1.

On the two smartphones, the native tool applications of Nebulas OS are more powerful and compatible with Android system applications, directly solving Liu Dalang's biggest problem at present.
