In terms of mobile phone chip and memory operation technology, each upgrade to a technical level requires a lot of money and time.
In order to better enhance users’ mobile phone experience under limited technical conditions. Therefore, the new version of Honor mobile phone system has made some changes in data conversion.
All smart phone systems now are systems where APP products are continuously linked to the backend of mobile phone users.
For example, if you use YY, you can receive reminders immediately when someone sends you a message. Although you have closed YY on your mobile phone, the link between the mobile phone background and YY is not completely disconnected.
Only in this way can you receive it as soon as possible when someone sends you a message, otherwise if you completely disconnect the link. When someone sends you a message, they can only receive the message after you reopen YY and connect to the YY server again.
The newly upgraded Pangu system disconnects the continuous link between the APP and the user's mobile phone when the user closes it, and changes it to the server link between the APP and the Pangu system.
If someone sends a message to a friend on YY, and the friend closes YY at this time. Then this information will come to the Pangu server, and then the Pangu system will prompt the user that there is information on his YY.
The user opens YY and connects to the YY server again, and then friends can chat normally.
This seems to be an extra step, which is thankless and affects the user experience.
But this is not actually the case. The additional procedure is to improve the user experience.
Because when there is a Pangu system server as a transfer and temporary storage of information, all APPs on your smartphone can be completely disconnected from your phone when you close them.
In this way, this APP will not occupy your background memory. There is only one link to the Pangu system running in your entire background, which greatly improves the running speed of the user's mobile phone, thereby improving the user's smooth use experience.
Of course, this is good for both users and smartphones. After all, the user receives the information they should receive, and it can also prevent mobile phone jams. The memory computing pressure on smartphones will be greatly reduced.
But for some APPs, it is not so cool. After all, once the user closes the APP used in the mobile phone, the connection with the APP server is directly disconnected.
How can they secretly access the user's backend?
Once the user accesses it when using the APP, the Pangu system will start to prompt that a certain APP is accessing your address book, a certain APP is accessing your photo album, and a certain APP is accessing your videos.
In an instant, this APP gave users a very bad feeling. They used to feel good about the APP, but suddenly they felt that they didn’t like it very much.
Therefore, although there are some things that users are not happy with, but you access them secretly and the users don’t know about it, then everyone can just pretend that nothing happened.
As a result, Pangu System blocked this sneaky backdoor, which made the developers of these APPs instantly spartan.
So after Lei Jun finished talking about the server problem, he also mentioned some things that are currently being protested by smartphone app companies.
With the temporary transfer of data, the requirements for the server have increased significantly.
Once Pangu’s new system is launched, APP companies that are already dissatisfied with Pangu’s fees will definitely be more furious.
What Lei Jun originally thought was that he would make some concessions on fees, and then roll out a new system, so that the gains of both parties would be balanced again.
But depending on what the big boss wants at this time, it is clear that he does not intend to make concessions in terms of charging, and it is even less likely to offer discounts in terms of Pangu system updates with new functions.
After all, in order to develop this thing, Pangu System's servers have begun to invest money to upgrade, and many additional units have been given away. How could they stop their plans and let the investment money go to waste because they are dissatisfied with these APP suppliers.
However, it is impossible to give up, but you can postpone it for a while, ease the currently intensified contradiction, and then stimulate it again so that 1+1 will not be greater than 2.
"How many versions of the Pangu system are there yet to be updated?"
"Three, two detail improvements, and one major update."
"In this way, let the Pangu system become the only data conversion function running the system in the background of the mobile phone. We will update it after a period of time. First, we should update the version in our hands. Now that it is made, it cannot be wasted.
Moreover, whether the server is expanded or installed, it will take time. Once the version in hand is updated, it should be almost time. "
"Then I will implement this idea first. If there is anything wrong, you will come over and guide us, and we will make adjustments." Lei Jun nodded.
Then this matter was agreed upon, and then he turned around and proposed another matter, "There are several smartphone brands in China, but I felt that domestic competition was too great and decided to expand abroad.
And the markets they choose to expand are not developed countries like Europe and the United States, but secondary markets like India and the lowest markets in Africa. "
"Those who dare to go out are all warriors, and whether it is a secondary market or a low-end market, as long as you can make money, it is a good market." Yang Dongxu said.
"Are you optimistic about the road to India and Africa?" Lei Jun was a little surprised.
After all, in his opinion, India is still reasonable, at least the consumption level of their rich people is acceptable. But over in Africa, are there cell phone towers there?
“Looking at the current global smartphone market, it is a wise choice to take the lead in the secondary and low-end markets.
Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the market in China. Although it is a supermarket of the future, there are too many competitors.
Needless to say, this is the base camp of our Honor mobile phones. Samsung and Apple are also eyeing the mainland market.
Coupled with the dozens of smartphone brands that have emerged this year, it is basically impossible to make a breakthrough in this market. Even if we can really make a breakthrough, we still have a ceiling. If we want to be the first Basically hopeless.
Needless to say, the European and American markets are Apple's main battlefield and Samsung's target. The market where Honor mobile phones are currently focusing on expansion is dominated by the three giants. Even in the past, other mobile phone brands still only competed for the mid-to-low-end market.
On the other hand, both India and Africa are blank markets. As long as you occupy it, it's yours. As for Africa's poor infrastructure and lack of communication equipment, it's yours.
Just because it’s not happening now doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future. And even if it doesn't happen now, it's an opportunity, because people in the past had the ambition to pay for the infrastructure themselves.
Then this market is basically his, because other mobile phone brands have entered, and their communication towers are not available for you to use. Your mobile phone cannot make calls and you still buy a crappy mobile phone. "
"The opportunity is indeed an opportunity, but the investment is not as big as usual." Lei Jun could not admit that what his big boss said made sense, but he felt that it was not cost-effective in terms of investment costs.
“You don’t want to be hungry but you are hungry. For these domestic smartphone brands, firstly, they don’t have a leading player like Honor, and secondly, they don’t have the strong technology to compete with Samsung and Apple, let alone Honor mobile phones.
Whether in the mainland market or in developed markets in Europe and the United States. If you want to gain a foothold, even if you seize the mid- to low-end market, you will need to burn a lot of money.
This amount of money burned is not necessarily less than investing in infrastructure in Africa, it is still money burned. Then why don't I change my position and become the boss?
For Honor mobile phones, Africa is indeed not our first choice market. After winning the European and American markets, small Southeast Asian countries, India or the Middle East market are our expansion goals.
There are indeed a small number of people in Africa who can afford Honor phones, but they are too few and it is not cost-effective to expand compared to other markets, so you look down on this market.
But for mid-to-low-end mobile phone brands, they are originally in the mid-to-low-end market. Africa’s backward consumer market is suitable for selling low-end phones. This is called the pot that goes with the lid. The one that suits you is the best. of. "
"Well, going to the secondary market first, and then the low-end market may really be their way." Lei Jun said: "The last thing, after dealing with the big boss, you can get off work early."
"You are teaching me how to do things." Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows.
Lei Jun knew that his boss was joking and continued, "Prince William's chip technology has improved rapidly with the support of Dongxu Technology's technology and technical personnel.
At present, 32-nanometer chip technology has achieved a breakthrough, and there are basic conditions for establishing a production line. So our chip production factory here can go on the production line.
It's just where the production line should be placed. I encountered some differences when negotiating with Prince William and several other people. They wanted to put the production line in Europe and the United States. I think it is best to put it in China.
After all, the domestic smartphone supporting production chain can be said to have completely completed innovation and upgrades. It is no less advanced than the production chain in Europe and the United States, and even surpasses it in many places.
Coupled with domestic labor cost issues, no matter from which perspective, it is more appropriate to place the chip production line in China. "
"Then let's keep it in China. If they feel uneasy, they can put it into production through technology licensing. The chip production line is in China, and the technology belongs to William's technology company we jointly opened.
They will transfer the money earned from the chips first, and after paying taxes according to domestic policies, it will be absolutely fine if I help them manage it by transferring it to a foreign account. "
"In this case, this matter can basically be solved. Anyway, many companies in Europe and the United States are playing with technology licensing and moving their production lines to China to make more money using cheap labor. Then the production line company will be put under the name of Honor? ?”
"Let's set up a new company and hide the Honor phone. Leave the charge ahead to William and the others and follow the normal investment process for foreign investors.
Let him directly contact the country's Ministry of Commerce, then discuss the issue of settling the chip production line in China, and then set up a new company.
But on the surface it is a joint venture project between William and the Chinese Ministry of Commerce. But we must be involved in the company's finance and operations, and we still have real power.
In a word, let them come up with the title, let them be the president or CEO. As a third party holding shares, we must not only have real control over the shares but also the company's operators. "
"Understood."
