Of course, TCL1’s 500 million also made this brand visible to everyone.
A brand that among consumers feels like it is about to be eliminated by the times.
However, Xuanwu took the initiative to provide information.
TCL1 Group achieved revenue of 111.58 billion yuan and net profit of 3.54 billion yuan in 2017. In the first quarter of 2018, the company achieved operating income of 25.63 billion yuan and net profit of 788 million yuan.
Although it lags behind in the mobile phone industry, its group company's industrial chain integration advantages have emerged, and both panel and color TV businesses have achieved good results.
Ranked fifth in the world in LCD TV panel shipments. The market share of 32-inch TV panel products ranks second in the world, and the market share of high-specification and large-size products such as 55-inch UD remains first in the country.
Thanks to the industrial synergy with China Star Optoelectronics and the improvement of the company's product and brand power, the company's color TV business has achieved explosive growth in performance.
In 2017, due to losses in the communications business in 2016, which dragged down the group's performance, TCL1 Group transferred 49% of the equity of TCL1 Communications in 2017, introduced strategic investors and accelerated the restructuring of the communications business. In the first quarter of 2018, it has achieved a significant reduction in losses in the communications business.
Therefore, this wave can be regarded as a big gamble for TCL1 mobile phones, taking half of the net profit in the first quarter to try it.
If the bet is successful, the communication business and mobile phone industry will be revitalized, and home appliances will be paired with mobile phones to create a stronger ecosystem.
If the bet is lost and the mobile phone equipped with [Boundary Monument 2.0] still fails to improve, then the loss will not be a loss for oneself, but strategic investors will also have to bear the loss.
However, Gu Qing is not very optimistic about this big gamble of TCL1 mobile phone.
Without him, the opponent is too strong, and TCL1 itself is too weak.
There is [Boundary Monument 2.0], but it is still weak in terms of hardware, and its investment in mobile phone research and development is pitiful.
High-end is impossible, but can we beat rice at low-end?
Middle?
Won’t these three companies, namely Rice, Yijia and Opo, destroy TCL1?
There must be sentimental parties, but among hundreds of millions of users, how many thousands can there be in sentimental parties?
"Perhaps this is because the authorities are obsessed with it, but bystanders clearly understand that R&D is the lifeblood of high-tech enterprises. It is impossible to make money no matter how hard you think, relying solely on software without sufficient hardware support.
But it can be considered ambitious and courageous. For example, someone who wants to take out 100 million is simply sending a beggar away. "
Gu Qing sighed for a while. Bidding for two places in Europe and two places in other regions was already going on in the conference room.
Yes, simultaneously.
After all, mobile phone manufacturers in Europe and other regions are generally "large multinational companies", so as long as there is a quota in one region, it will be enough.
There are many developed countries in Europe, but now the smartphone industry is in disgrace.
Ericsson was acquired by Sony, Alcatel was sold to TCL1, Nokia's feature phones were sold to Futukand, and smartphones were licensed to HMD (co-founded by former employees of Futukand and Nokia) for operation, and Philips was on the edge. change.
So the imagined scene of fighting between dragons and tigers did not appear.
Do Johnny and Korean stars dare to slap American companies in the face openly?
Not to mention it is the strongest pinguo company in the world.
But among the four places, there is one more person, which is very unexpected.
Google.
This giant officially launched the Pixel series of mobile phones in 2016. The biggest feature of this phone is that it is the first mobile phone equipped with "Google Assistant" and is deeply integrated with cloud computing.
Among them, Pixel phones start at US$649, and XL starts at US$769.
It can be seen that the giant has a huge appetite.
But the final offer was like a slap in the face of Jiuzhou Technology Company.
Pingguo: 200 million US dollars
Korean star: 100 million US dollars
Brother Gu: 100 million US dollars
Lockney: 100 million US dollars
100 million US dollars entered the game, which doesn’t seem like a lot.
But what about three $100 million?
Moreover, Brother Gu, Han Xing and Suo Ni’s quotations are actually the same! ?
After Dong Qi finished the task, Gu Qing came on stage seamlessly.
You're so disgusted that you don't fight back?
Boss Gu first thanked everyone for their participation, and then said like a joke: "I didn't expect Brother Gu to have such a tacit understanding with the three major companies, Hanxing and Suoni. Thank you for your support.
Of course, I am also very grateful to Mr. Ku Ke, the current CEO of Pingguo Company, for coming to our Jiuzhou Technology Company in person.
As the founder of [Boundary Monument], I admire the closure and internal logic of the IOS system. I hope we can make further progress in system optimization and bring a better user experience to users. "
Kuko smiled and nodded.
Would he not have heard of the cooperation between companies such as Gu Ge and Korean Star?
Gu Qing continued: "After your payment is received, as long as you send the product to Jiuzhou Technology one month before your company's product release, our company will carry out special optimization and customization within one month.
[Boundary Monument 2.0] version, the activation fee is ten summer yuan.
[Boundary Monument-Safety Shield 2.0] Partner users can selectively install it, and it will cost 100 Xia yuan per mobile phone.
Users who have previously installed [Boundary Monument 1.0] on their mobile phones are still free of charge, but after changing their phones or uninstalling it, they will not be able to install [Boundary Monument] on non-partner mobile phones.
Users of our Titanstar series can continue to enjoy smart home related services. "
Yes, you take 100 million disgusting people.
I will use the fees to disgust you.
Who said that this year’s partners will authorize all models to use [Boundary Monument] for free?
Partners are qualified to install and use.
Mr. Lei frowned.
The secretary next to him quickly took out his tablet and found various miscellaneous documents such as the invitation letter from Jiuzhou Technology Company and the meeting instructions.
"Gene Era"
"This move is so cruel, this kid."
It’s no wonder that the middle-aged Mr. Lei felt so emotional. In fact, none of these documents said that [Boundary Monument] is free!
This is not a lie, is it?
Last year there was no charge, but this year in addition to paying for tickets, you also have to pay for products after entering?
For high-end models with high profit margins, ten Xia Yuan or one hundred Xia Yuan is not a cost.
But the price of mid-to-low-end mobile phones is only more than a thousand yuan, and now the cost has to be increased...
The quantity of mobile phones shipped out of the warehouse in the summer of 2017: 160 million units. opo: 120 million units. Rice: 100 million units.
So just based on the amount of rice shipped out of the warehouse in 2017, by the end of that year, rice will give Jiuzhou Technology one billion Xia Yuan...
Counting the 1 billion previously purchased, Da Mi will give a total of 2 billion Xia Yuan to Jiuzhou Technology.
This is just installing [Boundary Monument 2.0]. If you install [Boundary Monument-Safety Shield 2.0] on MIX 3, it will give you even more.
Of course, it's not just the rice family that is hurting at this moment.
Ko Se-jin, the person in charge of Korean mobile phones, immediately took action.
"Xi Ba! Han Xing needs an explanation!
As a foreign company, it is our first time to cooperate with you, Jiuzhou Technology. Why should we charge a fee? "
Of course, what Gao Xi really spoke was not Daxia Mandarin, so Gu Qing tilted his head.
When the translator's voice came through the headset, he nodded and said.
"If Han Xing Mobile wants to regret it, it can refuse to pay, and [Boundary Monument] will not charge for your company's products."
