After Rebus heard Chen Xiao's words, he felt absolutely incredible.
He originally thought that Changtian Technology would open its mouth and ask Xiaomi to pay some price.
But I didn't expect the whole negotiation process to be so enjoyable.
Changtian Technology almost agreed to more than 70% of Rebus's requirements and did not put forward any harsh conditions.
Of course Chen Xiao knew what Jobs was thinking. He was not a saint who gave unlimited benefits to others. Instead, he was considering the future of the Yinghuo ecosystem and giving up some petty profits was irrelevant.
Rebus believes that although he cannot purchase Changtian Technology's biological batteries and the most advanced chips, he is still quite satisfied.
After all, advanced products and hardware are the basis for a company's competition. Changtian Technology cannot sell its core products in the form of commodities, which may reduce Changtian Technology's competitiveness.
This time when he came to Nagazezhou, Rebus had already obtained what he wanted most.
Chen Xiao did not force it. Rebus’ Xiaomi phone could only use the Firefly system.
In the future, Xiaomi can use Firefly operating system or Android system at the same time.
But Rebus still has this awareness. Now that it has reached a strategic cooperation agreement with Changtian Technology, Xiaomi's future mobile phones will definitely not use the Android system.
Opportunities in technology and business are fleeting.
If some companies repeatedly jump on the route and both sides want to take advantage, the results will be very bad.
After all, time doesn’t give you many choices.
After less than two hours of negotiations, Xiaomi and Changtian Technology reached a strategic cooperation agreement.
Xiaomi is able to purchase most of its mobile phone hardware from Changtian Technology and uses the Firefly operating system.
At the same time, Xiaomi will also actively invest in the construction of the Yinghuo ecosystem.
Xiaomi will develop and launch a large number of smart home products, such as smart speakers, sweeping robots, smart desk lamps, etc.
And the Firefly operating system will be added to it.
Let Yinghuo OS become the only platform that connects human life tools.
Rebus also proposed that Xiaomi and Changtian Technology jointly establish a smart life strategic cooperation planning group.
The plan lasts for 15 years, and the first five years are the cultivation period. During this period, the smart life products developed by Xiaomi will not cost a penny to use the Yinghuo operating system.
But after 5 years, if the profit of Xiaomi Smart Home reaches more than 100 million yuan, Xiaomi will distribute 5% of the profit to Changtian Technology. If it reaches 500 million yuan, its profit share will reach 7.5%, and so on. .
This proposal was not proposed by Changtian Technology, but by Rebus.
The purpose is to achieve in-depth cooperation with Changtian Technology. This is also a guarantee for Xiaomi to prevent Changtian Technology from being affected by the large-scale popularization of smart home products and ecological chains developed by Xiaomi. Xiaomi's products are suddenly not allowed to use the Firefly operating system, which will cause a devastating blow to the entire industry chain.
One day later, Rebus and Wang Xiang stood in front of reporters' cameras and jointly issued a declaration of cooperation.
Rebus told the reporter very seriously: "From today on, Xiaomi will become a strategic partner of Changtian Technology, and both parties will work together to build the ecological chain of the Firefly operating system."
Xiaomi directly abandoned the Android system that had been used for several years, and did not hesitate to offend American technology companies, and fully invested in the embrace of Changtian Technology, which caused a huge shock in the entire Xiaguo mobile phone industry.
Xiaomi still has a lot of products in the mid-to-low-end mobile phone market, and has occupied a large market share in the past few years.
And Xiaomi has a large number of fans behind it.
Xiaomi has completely bid farewell to the Android operating system and transferred to the Firefly operating system, which is of symbolic significance to the entire Xiaguo and even the global mobile phone industry.
For Huawei, Xiaomi’s transformation is both a challenge and a promotion.
This time, both parties will devote more energy to enriching the ecological chain, creating mobile phone services, and in-depth product design.
and
It's not like in the past, very barbaric price comparisons, comparisons with those meaningless gimmicks.
Huawei will not give up the design of its own Kirin chips.
Yu Dong believes that with Huawei's superior chip design capabilities and the production capabilities of Changtian Technology's hardware companies, Huawei will be able to develop the world's most advanced mobile phone chips and form differentiated competition with Xiaomi.
Companies such as Blue Factory, Green Factory and Lianxiang that are also making smartphones are now facing a dilemma.
If they want to change their strategic plan to join the Yinghuo system circle now, they will replace the long-used Android system with Changtian Technology's Yinghuo operating system and purchase Changtian Technology's hardware.
Then there is no difference between them and Xiaomi and other brands.
And now the Yinghuo operating system camp already has Hanhai mobile phones, as well as Nokia and Bird mobile phones under Hanhai Technology, plus Xiaomi and Warwick, the entire track is already very crowded.
Blue Factory and Green Factory believe that it is not a wise choice for them to switch to the Firefly operating system at this time.
Upward, they could not make calls on Hanhai mobile phones.
In the mid-range and low-end, it is difficult for them to gain an advantage in competing with Warwick and Xiaomi.
Therefore, Blue Factory and Green Factory simply went the same way, firmly using the Android operating system, firmly establishing good relations with American technology companies, and firmly purchasing hardware from overseas technology companies such as Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Samsung.
They are actually betting too.
I bet that the dominance of the entire technology should be in the hands of the United States.
Betting on Changtian Technology is just a passer-by in the history of global technology.
After the wind of Changtian Technology blows over, the dominance of the development of the global technology market, especially the smartphone market, will still be in the hands of established technology companies such as Android, Apple, and Samsung.
Not to mention Lian Xiang, who has been hesitating over and over again.
When Xiaomi and Changtian Technology announced the cooperation news and held a joint press conference.
Yang Qing felt that Lianxiang no longer needed to think about cooperation with Changtian Technology.
His idea is the same as that of Blue Factory and Green Factory. Xiaomi and Huawei have withdrawn from the competition in the Android market.
Then Lianxiang should have the opportunity to take over immediately and fill the market gap left by the absence of the two technology companies.
Yang Qing immediately left Yanjing and went to New York, the United States, to meet with American technology company bosses, hoping that they could provide more support for Lianxiang's smartphones.
But Yang Qing still doesn't understand that it's mainly Xia Guo's brand. In the eyes of Westerners, no matter how sincere you are and if you buy chips and other hardware at a price higher than the market price, you are still a Xia Guo technology company. company.
Xia Guo's technology companies are all peripheral in the ranking of the centripetal forces of Western technology.
American technology companies must first satisfy the local brands of the United States, then satisfy the mobile phone brands of the countries where the US allies are located, and finally satisfy the mobile phone companies of your country.
Of course they welcome Xia Guo Company to cooperate with them, because in their view, Xia Guo's technology company is just a fat pig that allows them to maximize their profits.
It is a pity that some Xia people think they are very smart and cannot understand this from beginning to end. They also think that they can become core members of the American technology group and play cards with them at the card table. They never understand that they can only pour water next to them. Life.
After finishing the cooperation with Xiaomi.
Chen Xiao and Wang Xiang took a special plane to Lanshi in the northwest.
After the plane landed, under the leadership of relevant personnel from the northwest headquarters of Changtian Technology, it arrived at a small northwest county nearly 1,000 kilometers away from Lan City.
The name of this county is Shuimu County.
The name is very nice. When I heard it for the first time, I thought the local area had water and trees, and the ecological environment was very good.
But it is a pity that this place is located at the intersection of desert and city, close to the Qilian Mountains. As far as the eye can see, there is only endless desert and desert.
The reason why this place is called Shuimu County is because in the Tang Dynasty, it was indeed a geomantic treasure land and one of the important water sources along the Yellow River. This place was originally called Shuimu Pavilion, and it was a place where the Tang Dynasty troops rested during their western expedition. .
After the Tang Dynasty, the name has been called like this.
But now the local people have given this name more beautiful meanings, hoping that when the desert Gobi and desert can turn into forests and swamps.
Shuimu County is also one of the poorest counties in the northwest region. There are a total of 50,000 people in the county, but the per capita annual income is less than 3,000 yuan.
Everyone makes a living by herding and farming.
With the deterioration of the environment and the degradation of pastures, young people are going out to work in big cities, and those who can stay in the local area are basically the old, weak, sick and disabled.
Poverty alleviation is the top priority of all previous officials in Shuimu County.
There are also several poverty alleviation cadres who have sacrificed their lives on the front line of poverty alleviation.
But the effect has always been poor, because this place is simply not suitable for human survival.
But a few months ago, Wang Xiang led his team to travel throughout the northwest region and discovered that within a radius of several hundred kilometers with Shuimu County as the center, there was a huge treasure.
Because the sunlight resources here are very good, there is sunshine 365 days a year, basically 365 days.
Although it is near the Qilian Mountains, it is located on the edge of the Qilian Mountains. The slope is not very ups and downs. You can get 360 degrees of sunshine anywhere you want.
There are very abundant sunlight resources here.
In addition, national and provincial highways and railways all pass through Shuimu County.
Even if the railway does not stop here, as long as the line passes through here, there will be opportunities for improvement and upgrading in the future.
The energy resources created by Changtian Technology can also be transported by rail and road.
What's more important is that the population here is sparse, and a large amount of Gobi and desert are no-man's land. The cost of land is very cheap. It is almost given to you for free, without paying a penny.
The car drove for several hours and finally arrived at Shuimu County.
Chen Xiao opened the window and the golden sun hit his skin and it hurt.
He looked at the endless desert and was filled with emotion.
Sometimes the national destiny is really hard to explain clearly.
For example, in West Asia, except for the highlands where the Persians lived, other places have not been very suitable for human habitation since desertification in the Middle Ages.
There is endless desert, the local countries are extremely poor, and people's living standards are also very low.
But after entering modern society, a large amount of oil was discovered in the desert areas of West Asia, and oil became one of the most important resources in the modern and industrial era of mankind.
Relying on oil has transformed many countries in West Asia from extremely poor and weak to absolutely rich and advanced.
Take the country of Qatar as an example. Local people can basically count money while lying down. The entire service industry is outsourced to foreign workers. Locals can live a happy life without even having to work.
So sometimes it’s true that no matter how hard you try, your life won’t be as good as others’.
In the northwest region of Xia Kingdom, which is also a desert area, life is very difficult.
Taking Shuimu County as an example, the local people are very poor.
To what extent is poverty?
Under the leadership of poverty alleviation cadres, they rely on very little water sources in the desert to grow desert cash crops. They work hard for a year and harvest a few pitiful wolfberries or red dates every year, or they work hard for a year to graze and sell them. Some mutton, earn some subsidies.
The local people's annual income may not be as much as the rich people in West Asia spend in one day. This is unfair from God.
But Chen Xiao believes that all this is about to change.
The territory of Xia Kingdom is very large, but a large part of it is desert and desert areas, which are not suitable for human habitation.
In the past these areas were worthless and despised by everyone.
But that all changes starting today.
The Gobi and deserts in the northwest of Xia Kingdom will become a cornucopia and energy base.
Changtian Technology will produce bioenergy industry here which is more important than petroleum energy.
This place is about to become a money printing machine, turning the entire northwest region into the richest, richest and most dynamic city in the world.
Chen Xiao even believes that the energy produced here will be the most needed energy for mankind in the next few hundred or even 1,000 years.
The influence and wealth that oil has brought to the Xia Kingdom will far exceed the influence and wealth that oil has brought to the tycoons in West Asia.
"Oh, you are finally here."
At this time, the motorcade stopped at the county guest house in Shuimu County.
The guest house is the best "hotel" in the area.
The local area is not a tourist attraction, nor is it an economic development zone, and it has no natural resources.
Not to mention a five-star hotel, not even a two-star hotel.
Moreover, the city in Shuimu County is not large, with very few foreign residents and no tourists.
Therefore, there are only seven or eight hotels with poor conditions in the entire county (used by locals to receive relatives and friends), and the guest houses with the best conditions are the ones with the best conditions.
The person who came to greet the convoy was Xia Yusheng, the relevant leader of Shuimu County.
A few months ago, when Wang Xiang and his team came to Shuimu County for inspection, Xia Yusheng received them throughout the entire process.
Because it was just an inspection, Changtian Technology and Wang Xiang did not alert the higher-ups.
After Wang Xiang left, Xia Yusheng had been looking forward to when Wang Xiang could come again.
Because there is indeed no local industry. If you want to lead the local people to poverty, the only way is for outside companies to invest.
But which company is so ignorant that it would invest in Shuimu County?
Is it possible to invest in the construction of a Gobi Desert stone factory here and sell the stones?
Xia Yusheng knows that Changtian Technology is one of the largest companies in the world and one of the richest companies.
He thought that if Changtian Technology came to establish an investment, it would be able to boost the economy and employment of the entire county with an investment of hundreds or tens of millions.
Hope and hope, finally Wang Xiang is here.
How could Xia Yusheng and other leaders in the county not be excited.
