Rebirth: I just wanted to study hard, but I became a scumbag

Yangzhou, Wuzhen.

A smartphone development summit is being held in the conference room of the International Convention and Exhibition Center.

Participants in this meeting were all heads of major domestic mobile phone manufacturers.

“The development road of future smart phones will be long and difficult!”

"As compatriots, we should work together!"

"I hope we can fight a bloody path in the smartphone war in the near future!"

Liu Jie, the conscientious boss, said loudly on the stage.

As the leading technology company in the country today, they have a very strong say in the industry.

All smartphone manufacturers, including Xiaomi, have to call themselves Big Brother in front of their conscience.

In fact, today's meeting was also initiated by conscience.

So as soon as Liu Jie finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out in the entire conference room.

"Under the general direction of common progress, I suggest that we set up a mobile phone development association."

Liu Jie looked around and said with a smile.

At this time, the person in charge of a smartphone manufacturer called "Aiku" stood up and asked: "Mr. Liu, what benefits will we get if we join this association?"

"Yes."

Everyone also nodded.

Businessmen are all profitless and can't afford to be early. There is no actual benefit, so who will set up a Laoshizi Association with you?

This is not a children's play, it requires real money.

But Liu Jie seemed to have been prepared for it. Not only was he not annoyed after hearing this, but a look of confidence appeared on his face.

"Good question!"

With a wave of his hand, the projector above the conference room started working, and an authorization letter with the Qualcomm logo appeared on the screen behind him.

"As long as you join this association, you can reduce patent fees by 20% if you use Qualcomm's chips to produce mobile phones in the future."

Hearing these words, there was an exclamation of exclamation immediately in the conference room.

All domestic smart phone chips are dependent on imports, so the cost of this part has always been fixed, without any room for manipulation.

But now as long as they choose to join Qualcomm, their costs can be further reduced.

The money saved is all real profits.

There is no company that will not be tempted by the money delivered to your door.

"Mr. Liu, I have a question."

Rebus, the head of Xiaomi, stood up and asked: "Will there be any restrictions after joining the association?"

Everyone turned to look at Liu Jie, obviously they also wanted to know the answer to this question.

"Of course, Qualcomm can't give you 20% of its profits for free."

Liu Jie said confidently: "As long as you join the association, you are not allowed to have any contact with any business related to mobile phone chips, including your partners."

After finishing speaking, the leaders of the manufacturer breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they produce mobile phones, their main research direction is integration solutions.

To put it simply, they purchase the accessories required for various smartphones from the market, and then integrate them into a mobile phone.

Except for the external shape of the mobile phone and the installation location of various accessories, everything else is outside their business scope.

As for the production and research and development of mobile phone chips, they are even more out of reach.

"Mobile phone chip? What is that?"

"There are very few companies in China that can produce chips, let alone design them."

"Exactly! If we can make chips, how can we produce mobile phones? It's really unfounded."

The heads of major manufacturers started talking and laughing.

Obviously in their view, Qualcomm is completely unnecessary.

But others thought it didn't matter, but Rebus's heart sank.

Because he knew that Su Ze had reached a cooperative relationship with MediaTek.

As a major investor in Xiaomi, unless Su Ze terminates his cooperation with MediaTek, Xiaomi will not be able to join the Mobile Phone Development Association.

"Sorry, Mr. Liu."

Rebus said truthfully: "If that's the case, I'm afraid I won't be able to join you."

Liu Jie sighed: "Mr. Lei, I know your situation."

"But we need to unite now. Only in this way can we go further on this new track in the field of smartphones."

Rebus declined: "But I really can't make the decision in this matter."

"The company's major shareholder is not me."

Liu Jie rubbed his eyebrows and smiled: "Then you go back and discuss it with Mr. Su."

"He has always had a good vision and will not miss this golden opportunity."

With that said, Liu Jie walked up to Rebus.

He said in a voice that only two people could hear: "If you need funds to buy back the company's shares, we will be happy to help!"

"Besides, you have been in the Internet industry for so many years. Are you willing to be bossed around by a young man in his early 20s?"

Rebus said to him politely: "Mr. Liu, to be honest, I'm quite happy."

"I don't know what outsiders say, but I recognize Mr. Su's ability."

Liu Jie spread his hands: "Okay."

He said slightly embarrassed: "Since you have your own plan, I won't force it."

"Everyone has his own ambitions, and the choice is in your own hands."

"But I suggest you better mention it to Mr. Su, otherwise I'm worried that you will all regret it in the future."

Rebus nodded politely: "Okay, Mr. Liu."

Liu Jie returned to the stage and continued to introduce the various benefits of the Mobile Phone Development Association.

"Sorry, I want to interrupt."

A young and beautiful girl stood up and asked: "If we don't produce and develop our own mobile phone chips, and Qualcomm doesn't sell us chips in the future, what will we do?"

As soon as she finished asking her question, bursts of laughter erupted in the conference room.

The owner of "Aiku" mobile phone joked before Liu Jie could speak: "As long as you have money, are you afraid that you won't be able to buy chips?"

"Xiao Meng, didn't your dad tell you that everything in this world has a price?"

"If others don't sell it, it means you don't give enough money."

Others nodded in agreement.

Liu Jie signaled everyone to be silent. He glanced at Rebus who was sitting next to him, and then explained unhurriedly: "Mr. Meng, you don't have to have these worries."

"Now that global trade is developing so well, let alone chips, we can also rely on imports for many more cutting-edge technology products."

"Although the cost is indeed higher, it is still very economical compared to self-research."

What Liu Jie said is actually the current status of domestic technological development.

Many technologies in high-end fields are blank, and machines such as Guangke Machinery can only rely on imports.

Occasionally, some high-spirited technicians independently develop and produce domestic machines.

But when put on the market, the price is twice or more expensive than imported products.

But the performance is still far behind others.

When such a product is put on the market, it is naturally impossible for any company to be willing to buy it.

The result is that none of the machines produced can be sold.
