Chapter 282 Supporting the Supply Chain

Honormagic 1 uses Qualcomm's latest QSD8650A chip, with a main frequency of 1.2GHz. The phone is equipped with a 4.2-inch display with a resolution of 960x640 pixels. Yes, it is the retina screen of Apple iPhone 4.

Honor is willing to spend money. Lei Jun visited Samsung Display in person as soon as he took office. He negotiated the deal with Samsung when the subprime mortgage crisis was at its worst. Although it will give priority to satisfaction, it can only supply on a small scale at the beginning and will not be able to do it until next year. Monthly supply exceeds one million tablets.

Therefore, it is difficult to control the shipment volume of magic1 in the early stage, and the price is difficult to determine. There are also other issues, such as notebook OEM, SSD solid state drive supplier, Intel chip procurement, Windows 7 system optimization, etc. Qu Lifei Go to Beijin and have final discussions with Lei Jun and others.

The Magic series focuses on mobile phone parameters, the G series focuses on comprehensive user experience, and the mate series pays attention to system security and stability. Therefore, magic’s system upgrades are fast and more resources are invested.

"Then let's set the price at US$499. The price of the G series will be increased to US$599. We will put aside the magicbook for the time being and launch the Gpad..." Qu Li spoke at the meeting

"Android has not done a good job in system optimization..." Lei Jun said, the negative effects of Qu Li's aloofness and arrogance have come, and Android is no longer unable to fully cooperate with the release of their new products.Of course, the increasing number of Android options is also one of the reasons.

"Release products first, then sell them at the end of the year." I have to say that Apple has set a bad example by holding a mobile phone launch conference, but the products will not be launched simultaneously. Honor has done such unreliable things several times, and it has also affected competitors. Not much, otherwise the market and consumers will teach him how to behave.

At the press conference on October 10 this year, three products, Honor G10, Gpad and magicone, are expected to be officially released. The release time of Magicbook has not yet been determined.

The problem goes beyond that. How to predict the sales volume of Gpad based on its positioning?Is it just a large mobile phone?

"Videos, games..." Qu Li once again stood up and determined the development direction of Gpad, focusing on entertainment, so now even if they spend money, they have to ask major game developers to adapt Gpad, not to mention video applications such as YouTube. explain.

"It has the functions of office study, reading and creation. When the performance of the tablet is high enough, we will turn it into a productivity tool..."

"What about the price?"

"It's 499 US dollars." You can earn 250 US dollars by selling a blood unit. Who wouldn't want to do such a good business?The starting volume is 100 million units.

Then we talked about the troubles Magic Notebook encountered. Intel wanted to enter the mobile phone chip market, and Microsoft wanted Honor to use Windows Mobile. There was a lot of coercion and inducement, but Qu Li had long made up his mind to hold on to Google’s big fat legs, and of course he refused. .Therefore, Magicbook will naturally have no chance of launching Windows 7.

There is also OEM. Because of the uncertainty of the market, Lei Jun does not dare to place too many orders. He only plans to produce 10 units. However, OEM requirements are very high. BYD does not prohibit meat and vegetables, but even for the sake of supply chain security, Lei Jun Nor will it be given to him.

Of course, Quanta and Compal would like to take over the 10 units, but if they want to meet Honor's requirements, they probably won't have much profit. Moreover, Honor's mobile phones are selling well, and there are traditional giants in laptops, so there may not necessarily be many opportunities. So unwilling to pay.

"What other companies are interested?" Qu Li asked. There are already rumors on the Internet about Honor manufacturing laptops, so it is not a big deal for OEM companies to come to our door.

"Many want to copy the success of BYD Electronics." Lei Jun's words were a bit sour.

BYD Electronics manufactures products for Honor, and its stock price has risen from HK$3 a year ago to more than HK$9 now, with its stock price tripling.BYD's share price has risen from HK$9 when Buffett bought the shares to HK$45 now, and it seems to be going up.

Although there is no such thing as a fruit chain at this time, the driving effect of Honor supply chain companies has begun to appear, and naturally there are small and medium-sized enterprises willing to take a gamble.

Several people chatted while discussing the pros and cons of each enterprise.

"Just this one." Qu Li said, pointing to one of the companies called Lixun Precision.

"The founder of this company is a..."

"It depends on whether they have this ability, and if they are really willing to cooperate fully, we will provide money and people to help them transform their production lines..." Qu Li

Several people had no expressions when they heard what Qu Li said. This is how BYD Electronics supported them. Now it is normal to switch to Li Xun Precision.

If it were Quanta and Compal, Honor wouldn't need to pay. Unfortunately, this would increase Honor's risks. If their laptop project fails, the high-precision processing equipment they purchase can only be sold at a discount.

But will the Honor Notebook fail?Judging from the experience of Couliang and Warwick, there is a high probability that it will not fail. At most, the sales volume will not be high enough.Honor sold more than 1000 million mobile phones in the first half of the year, with revenue approaching US$60 billion, and a profit of US$20 billion based on a net profit margin of 12%. They are really rich.

It is impossible to say that no one in China would envy, envy or hate this kind of glory. However, Qu Li did not take an unusual path and actually got noticed by the superiors in 08 through Jumei. Huatou indirectly became a shareholder of Glory, and CICC Issue “quasi-policy” corporate bonds for them.

Especially after Honor suddenly acquired Changfeng Automobile in a very short period of time this year, many domestic entrepreneurs believed that Qu Li had a profound background in Honor.After the relevant departments paid attention to the Zhalang MBO, an American named Cao announced the suspension of the MBO, and the mixed-ownership reform of Lianxiang Holdings came to an end, there are almost no people who really dare to pursue the idea of ​​​​Glory.

At most, Qu Li just wanted to disgust Zhalang Cao and Lian Xiang Liu Chuanzhi. He told them their purpose and possible consequences in advance. He really had no intention of affecting their "money path". He was determined not to deal with this. back.

It's a pity that Lei Jun didn't believe it: "Old Liu is actually quite good..."

"How about we provide money, just like we support BYD Electronics, to support a mobile phone company to become a high-end brand, and give it a part of the market. Do you think I have any personal conflicts with him? How about you go to a mobile phone company to experience the current situation? treatment?"

"I..." Lei Jun quickly realized that he was the CEO of Honor. Old Liu wouldn't use that set of fighting methods on him, would he?

"Liu Chuanzhi, like Ren Zhengfei, can no longer be described as good or bad." Li Yinan felt that he had the right to speak. His harbor was acquired by Warwick, and then he became the monkey of everyone in a glass house.A great entrepreneur is almost impossible to be a "good person". At most, he is a relatively pure person.

It wasn't until he met Qu Li and accidentally established the founder of Glory that Li Yinan turned around in the shortest possible time.Qu Li's move of paying patent fees to Warwick made Li Yinan feel that she no longer owed anything to Warwick and Ren Zhengfei.

It is certain that Lei Jun is good at learning, although I don’t know what else he can learn after experiencing the glory other than taking advantage of the situation.At this time, I can deeply understand Honor's idea of ​​​​spending money to support key enterprises in the supply chain, and make the decision to support Lixun Precision together with Qu Li and Li Yinan. This is already a great progress.
