March 10, 2006, China time.

Shenzhen Sunshine Hotel.

After Rebus washed up, he went to the restaurant downstairs alone to have morning tea.

When he came to a passing table in the restaurant, a middle-aged man greeted him: "Mr. Lei, you are alone, why don't you sit down and eat together?"

Rebus turned around and saw Li Dongsheng, Xu Lihua, and He Xuehao.

Although everyone says that peers are enemies, they don't show it on their faces.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Li, Mr. He, long time no see." Rebus replied with a smile.

This was not the first time the four of them had met. Rebus sat down unceremoniously, and his voice also attracted the attention of the people at the table next to him.

Sitting at the table next to them were Shen Wei, the head of Vivo, and Li Yongming, the boss of Oppo.

The table in the upper right corner is Li Xiaozhong, the person in charge of Amoi Mobile Phones, and Gan Haihu, the head of Haier Mobile Phones.

As for the bad-brained kid?

After the acquisition by Dell, Rotten Brain Baby canceled this department, and Rotten Brain Baby mobile phone also disappeared from history.

Sitting in the upper left corner of them are the person in charge of ZTE mobile phones and the person in charge of Huawei mobile phones.

Although ZTE and Huawei have strong R&D capabilities, their work styles are very low-key, and for unknown reasons, their self-developed CPUs have not yet been developed.

Perhaps the two companies are not satisfied with 90nm mobile phone CPUs and are targeting 65nm.

Anyway, Kirin has not received any request from them for OEM.

As for the Panda mobile phone that was once popular last year?

"Quality Gate" incidents frequently occurred due to quality issues. Ma Zhiping, the chairman of Panda, was caught up in the confusion of capital operations and had no intention to deal with the quality of mobile phones. In the end, not only did his own stock market fail, but also the capital of Magic City Yimei

The chain was also forced to break.

Panda Mobile's funds were misappropriated and lost. As a result, Panda Mobile declined. Ma Zhiping was arrested and imprisoned at the end of last year.

As for other small brands, they have all been taken over by Rebus, and now they are the only Chinese mobile phone brands left.

...

After Rebus sat down, Xu Lihua poured him a cup of tea.

"Mr. Lei is so courageous. He took over nine companies at once. I wonder how Mr. Lei thought of doing this?" Xu Lihua asked with a smile.

"Nowadays, China Internet is dominated by Qilin, and the Internet industry has no room for development. I can't think of any good projects to develop, so I thought about trying to make mobile phones." Rebus said with a smile.

Nowadays, in addition to the portal website, China Internet, social platforms and online games have been monopolized by Qilin.

Rebus doesn't like the profitability of portal websites, and Kingsoft is doing online games. Although he has quit Kingsoft, he is still Kingsoft's major shareholder.

There is no reason for him to go back to the same industry.

Besides, in today's Internet industry, except for online games, the profits of other Internet businesses are very small, and he doesn't care about that profit at all.

"The mobile phone industry is also having a hard time. Kirin has lifted its blockade on foreign brands, and competition in the mobile phone industry has become increasingly fierce." Li Dongsheng sighed.

Although TCL has developed their mobile phone CPU, the performance of the CPU they developed is not good. Li Dongsheng really has no confidence in his own products.

In addition, TCL’s mobile phone business department is getting worse and worse.

Because TCL Group has too much business, he can't manage it at all now. Even if he wants to recruit a capable person to manage it, he can't find a suitable candidate. This makes Li Dongsheng feel that he has more than enough energy but not enough.

"In fact, Kirin has lifted the ban on foreign brands, which is a good thing for the mobile phone industry. It must be some agreement reached with both parties.

Since they can come in, it means that we can also go out. Now it is definitely much easier for us to go out than before.

We can't just look at what's in the bowl, we also have to look at what's in the pot, where are the big chunks of fat.

At this time, it depends on whose hand is faster." Rebus said with a smile.

Although Cao Mang had never said anything like this to the outside world, Rebus already had some suspicions in his mind.

If not, how could Kirin enter the European market so easily?

Several people's eyes lit up when they heard Rebus' words, because they had never thought about this problem.

Although they had previously opened up the European market with the help of Intel and Microsoft.

But since the battery scandal, their overseas business has begun to shrink.

After Intel's new CEO went online, he cut off the mobile department. They didn't make money selling WP phones, and their low-end phones couldn't compete with foreign brands.

In the end, they had no choice but to close all overseas businesses.

It can be said that their trip abroad was a complete failure.

This also makes them gradually forget about overseas markets.

Now that they have self-developed CPUs, which are very advantageous in terms of performance and price, why not try overseas markets.

Rebus just explained what he said.

Qilin must have reached some agreement with foreigners, otherwise they would not be able to return to the Chinese market so easily.

We use Kirin's CPU and Kirin's system, so can we also do business on their territory?

If they block it, then they are blocking Qilin Technology and let Qilin negotiate with them.

Several people couldn't help but admire Rebus's ability to pull off tiger skins.

"Mr. Lei, height is really high." He Xuehao raised his thumb and said.

Rebus smiled slightly and said nothing. It didn't mean that he looked down on the other party. He had already pointed out what needed to be pointed out.

Whether they can understand it or not is their business.

"What kind of new products do you think Kirin Battery will release this time?" Xu Lihua asked curiously.

"Mr. Xu, I think we'd better not guess what Qilin will come up with.

Because every time Qilin comes up with something that exceeds our imagination.

Our imagination simply cannot keep up with Kirin's R&D capabilities.

Just like Kirin is planning to form an electric vehicle alliance recently.

I know about two-wheeled electric vehicles, but do you dare to imagine using electricity to drive a car?

In my opinion, this thing can only be driven for one or two hundred kilometers at most.

But I think the electric cars made by Kirin must be more than just that.

If Qilin makes an electric car that only has a mileage of one or two hundred kilometers, there will be no need to build it," Li Dongsheng said.

Everyone present nodded after hearing Li Dongsheng's words.

Their CPU cannot keep up with the Kirin Group's, unless they can imagine more boldly.

Otherwise, they would not be able to imagine what kind of things Qilin would create.

“I think the gap between us and Qilin is not about imagination, the gap between us and Qilin is about funding.

If we have enough funds, we can also turn our imagination into reality like Qilin Group.

The root cause of all this is that we are poor and lack courage. To realize our dreams, we need to invest a lot of money in research and development." Rebus said with a smile.
