Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

The biggest move by Honor Technology in 2015 was the launch of a foldable screen mobile phone through the "Honor Night" event.

Although this mobile phone aimed at women is priced a bit high, it caused a sales frenzy as soon as it was launched.

The profit margin of selling a foldable phone is even higher than that of the HONRO series of phones.

All dealers are very active in purchasing goods, and the sales of foldable screen mobile phones in Honor Technology’s own flagship store are also very good.

Sometimes there is a situation where there is no stock.

Therefore, Honor Technology’s performance last year was definitely very impressive.

"Mr. Cao, we sold more than 2.6 million mobile phones worldwide last year, surpassing Samsung Electronics' 2.5 million, becoming the world's largest mobile phone brand."

"Our sales are also much higher than Samsung's, exceeding 20000 trillion and heading straight for 30000 trillion."

Xia Qingqing was full of confidence and personally reported last year's performance to Cao Yang.

As China's largest industrial and high-tech enterprise, Honor Technology's performance can make Xia Qingqing full of confidence.

The name Xia Qingqing is second only to Cao Yang and other bigwigs in China in terms of popularity. She is considered a well-known entrepreneur.

Even many MBA textbooks contain many cases about Honor Technology.

As for the reports from various media, there is no need to say more.

There are many people who are actively reporting on Honor Technology without Honor Technology paying any money.

Because Honor Technology means traffic.

As long as the name of Honor Technology appears in the report, the traffic is often much greater than that of general reports.

This also has a huge impact on the media.

“How many foldable screen phones have been sold?”

Cao Yang first asked a key question.

This mobile phone was put into production under his personal arrangement, so he naturally wanted to know how its final market performance would be.

"Last year, in just half a year, sales exceeded 5000 million units."

"Eighty percent of them are sold in the domestic market, and 20 percent are exported to overseas markets such as Japan."

"And this phone is currently our company's best-selling product in the Japanese market."

Xia Qingqing was naturally very clear about the situation of foldable screen mobile phones.

Although its overseas sales share is not as high as that of the HONOR series, it has achieved unexpected performance in markets such as Japan and Korea.

“We will take advantage of the fact that there are still few similar mobile phone products from other companies and promote them in the global market as quickly as possible.”

“We strive to achieve 50% of our sales overseas.”

The goal that Cao Yang once set for many companies was that sales of various products should each account for half overseas and half domestically.

This is naturally no exception for foldable screen mobile phones.

"Well, the 2016 sales plan has already made a special arrangement for this problem."

“I believe the final performance will definitely change.”

Xia Qingqing had already made arrangements for the questions Cao Yang asked, so she answered them without any hesitation.

Afterwards, Cao Yang continued to learn about other aspects of Honor Technology, and then Honor Technology confirmed and disclosed the relevant data from 2015 to the public.

The Internet has been dominated by the news that Nanshan Automobile Group has become the world's largest automobile group in terms of revenue. As a result, Honor Technology officially announced that it has surpassed Samsung to become the world's top-selling mobile phone manufacturer.

This made things even more heated.

"Mr. Wang, have you seen the news released by Honor Technology?"

On the first day after returning from the New Year's Day holiday, Lin Rong came to Wang Ziming's office.

At this moment, her face was full of sorrow.

"I looked at it and found that the sales volume of 2.6 million mobile phones is higher than Samsung's 2.5 million."

"This growth rate is indeed beyond everyone's imagination."

"I originally thought that our iPhone sales would quickly increase to 1.8 million units, which would be a very good result."

"But compared with Honor Technology's 2.6 million units, there is still a significant gap."

Wang Ziming said with emotion.

As the general manager of Apple China, he has witnessed the rise of Honor Technology.

That speed is even faster than that of Apple, which is really a bit unreasonable.

"The key is that their foldable screen mobile phone was only launched in the middle of last year."

"If sales continue throughout the year, the sales growth of this segment alone will be tens of millions, and the total sales for the whole year will exceed 3 million units, which is almost certain."

"And if we can exceed 2 million this year, it will be a good performance."

Lin Rong didn't mean to boost others' prestige and destroy her own ambition.

This is the objective fact.

Unless Apple can completely suppress Honor Technology in markets outside of China.

However, Honor Technology’s sales in the United States are almost zero now, so it is not so easy to suppress it in other markets.

"The company that is under the most pressure right now should be Samsung Mobile. It has been the world's number one for several years, but now it has been taken away by Easy Technology."

"Let them fight each other first, and we will grow slowly later."

There is no way to sell Apple phones in China. Apart from a small share of parallel imports, they have almost no presence.

So Wang Ziming was not under particularly great pressure at this time.

Of course, the rise of Honor Technology’s mobile phone products will definitely increase the sales of other products as well.

This is definitely not a good thing for Apple China.

"That's true. Sometimes, the threat posed by Samsung phones to us is greater than that Glory Technologies."

"They are competing with us in all markets around the world, especially in the US market, where Samsung is trying to snatch the first place from us."

Lin Rong obviously agreed with what Wang Ziming said.

The threat from Samsung phones is huge.

Especially for Apple phones, Samsung is their competitor in any market.

Unfortunately, Samsung actually has a lot of shares from Wall Street, so some of its tactics are not very suitable for Apple to implement.

Most of the time, people still use overt means to compete.

As a result, Apple is under a lot of pressure.

After all, Samsung has the advantages of the industrial chain, and its mobile phone performance is no worse than Apple's.

Apple has its own unique barriers in the IOS operating system.

However, because Honor Technology also has the HONOR operating system, the disadvantages of the Android system used by Samsung are not that great.

While Apple was discussing Samsung's mobile phones, a meeting was taking place within Samsung in an unfriendly atmosphere.

"Since Nokia's collapse, we have been the world's best-selling mobile phone brand, but we were surpassed by Honor Technology last year."

"This is totally unacceptable."

Li Zairong looked at the executives of Samsung Electronics and spoke frantically for more than ten minutes.

Samsung Electronics' performance actually declined last year.

Not only was the number one position in the global mobile phone market taken away, but the sales of other consumer electronics and semiconductors actually declined slightly.

This kind of thing is definitely unacceptable.

In particular, there was some controversy within the group regarding his taking over Samsung Electronics.

Some veterans were not very convinced.

Now his grades are getting worse and worse, no wonder he is so angry.

"President, we are already developing a foldable screen phone and will officially launch it on the market this year."

"By then, we will definitely be able to take back the world's number one position from Honor mobile phones."

The vice president in charge of research and development explained reluctantly.

One of the important reasons why Honor Technology’s mobile phone products were able to surpass Samsung last year was that foldable screen phones contributed additional sales.

Otherwise, if we still calculate based on the previous sales of the HONOR series of mobile phones, Samsung will still be the world's number one.

"Honor Technology's foldable screen phones have already been sold to our country in Korea. Even the sales of Honor phones in Korea are catching up with our sales in China."

"This is totally unacceptable."

"China is the world's largest mobile phone market, and many consumers like foldable screen phones."

"After we launch our new mobile phone, we must regain market share in China."

After Li Zairong said this, the pressure immediately shifted to the Huaxia branch.

Samsung Electronics' performance in China in recent years has indeed been unsatisfactory.

As the head of the Huaxia branch, Li Zairin tries to keep a low profile as much as possible during every meeting.

However, the Chinese market is too special. No matter how low-key he is, he cannot avoid attracting attention.

Just like now, the focus of the meeting has shifted to the Huaxia branch again.

Li Zailin had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "President, our Huaxia branch will definitely go all out to ensure that the sales of mobile phones this year will stop falling and rise again."

He didn't dare to make too big a promise, but stopping the decline and recovering was already a great effort.

Anyway, last year’s sales were already very low, so it shouldn’t be that difficult to just stop the decline and recover.

However, this answer was not enough to satisfy everyone.

"The sales volume of Huaxia Branch this year must return to the tens of millions level, otherwise it will be meaningless."

This goal was obviously not challenging at all for Samsung China a few years ago.

As the market leader, their sales in a quarter are more than this number.

But for Samsung China today, it is completely different.

Their sales have fallen to less than 200 million for the whole year.

It is very difficult to get back to a level above 1000 million.

However, Li Zailin didn't dare to say anything more at this time, so he had to agree.

……

"Mr. Cao, Honor smartphone sales have reached 2.6 million units per year. I think now is a good time to invest in all kinds of mobile apps."

"No matter what type of product it is, as long as our Honor phones have built-in settings, we can significantly increase our market share."

"This is the most favorable condition when we negotiate with various companies for investment and shareholding."

Taking advantage of the surge in sales of Honor Technology, Zhang Fugui and Lin Ling also came to report some of their ideas to Cao Yang.

Nanshan Investment’s presence has not been very strong in recent years, and not many ordinary people know about it.

However, among the Nanshan Group’s companies, Nanshan Investment’s influence has always been considerable.

“Which areas of apps do you want to focus on investing in?”

Nanshan Investment wanted to invest more in new projects to enhance its own value, and Cao Yang had no reason to object.

In fact, the domestic APP market has changed a lot in recent years, and it is impossible for Cao Yang to assign people to handle everything.

However, if you don't want to do it yourself, you can still consider investing some shares.

For example, in the field of short videos, although Nanshan Film and Television is also involved, one company cannot eat all the cake.

Investing in other competitors' products at the same time is actually a feasible option.

Similar situations also exist with some other mobile APP software.

Even the gaming sector is worth investing in.

At that time, whether it is a simple investment or to expand the influence of Nanshan Group's enterprises, it will be beneficial.

"We have made a preliminary review and want to expand investment in these areas..."

While flipping through the PPT, Lin Ling introduced the idea of ​​Nanshan Investment to Cao Yang.

Basically, they have their own ideas about the popular projects in the Internet venture capital field.

Nanshan Investment obviously wants to become the big boss behind China's Internet industry.

"You can contact them and see what conditions you can get."

"In addition to the Internet sector, some high-tech fields can also participate."

"Especially in the fields related to autonomous driving and chips, or even some new companies related to new materials and life sciences, you can try to get in touch with them."

"As long as they are doing down-to-earth scientific research and the projects are worth looking forward to, we can invest some money."

“Even if some projects seem very difficult and there is no immediate return, they can still be considered.”

"As for investment, there is definitely a possibility of some losses. You don't have to expect to make money every time you invest."

Since Nanshan Investment wants to do something big, why not just talk to them about your ideas.

"Mr. Cao, do you mean that the Internet, new materials, biotechnology, chips and autonomous driving related fields will all be our next key investment targets?"

Lin Ling understood Cao Yang's words a little bit, and then confirmed it again.

This can also be considered a technique when reporting to leaders.

Sometimes you are not sure that you have understood what your leader means, so just repeat it to confirm.

This can also prevent you from making mistakes in the future.

"Yes, plus an artificial intelligence."

"Whether it's software or hardware, any company with potential that has something to do with artificial intelligence can be invested in."

"And the investment targets are not limited to domestic ones, they can also be overseas."

"Even if it is a related enterprise in the United States, as long as we can invest in it after changing some skins, we can consider it."

Cao Yang knows that artificial intelligence is destined to be a very hot track in the future.

Nanshan-based companies have already started to plan their own plans, but even with Cao Yang’s guidance, they may not necessarily perform better than any other company.

So there's obviously no harm in understanding what's going on outside.

"I understand. In the next round, the company will sort out a number of potential investment targets and then report to you individually, Mr. Cao."

With such clear instructions, Lin Ling naturally knew what she should do.

Nanshan Investment will soon have various big moves.
