This is the result of many reasons.

First, the domestic smartphone market is almost monopolized by MindOS.

There are also smartphones sold with Android systems, but sales are not very optimistic.

Today's Android is just an open source and has some advantages, but the optimization in various aspects is really not flattering.

It's okay to flash the machine and play it, but there are few paying buyers, and they are generally concentrated in the thousand-yuan machine market.

Secondly, although MindOS is all-powerful, there are actually no high-end models in the domestic market.

Samsung has a new high-end series launched this year, but because the sales feedback of other smart models is very pessimistic, it has not yet vigorously promoted it to the Chinese market.

In the end, Samsung Electronics chose to pay this huge licensing fee in exchange for high-end series to enter the domestic market in advance and conduct monopoly dumping.

It’s been exactly one month since today, and the results are very gratifying.

It looks better than the sales of the same series in overseas markets.

But Samsung Electronics is not taken advantage of. Every time a machine is sold, 7% of the retail price is given to Frontier, which directly reduces the profit by a large amount.

Even if the price was specially raised to 5,499 yuan and the related high licensing fees were passed on to consumers, profits would still be significantly reduced.

In order to end the first phase of the contract as soon as possible and considering the inability to promote the Bada system, Samsung Electronics finally decided to give up promoting Bada in the Chinese market and completely changed to MindOS.

At the same time, we hope to reduce the licensing fee through this round of negotiations.

Of course, because MindOS is completely a seller's market, Samsung Electronics also knows that this negotiation has to pay something.

"..."

Shi Xinrong took over the conversation and spoke eloquently: "Samsung Electronics is our friendly partner in cutting-edge science..."

"..."

The first wave of confrontation disappeared without a trace.

Simply put, it is nothing.

Samsung Electronics complains, cutting-edge science expresses cooperation friendliness.

Lu Weiyu and Zheng Jinrong sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, not in a hurry.

Fang Nian went to the theater.

In fact, the frontier does not need to care about the negotiation time at all, it does not matter how long it takes.

If Samsung Electronics wants to continue to occupy the high-end market, it must carve out its niche.

Although they have used reasonable methods to significantly consume the 20 million licenses limited to the first contract with a price of up to 7% of the retail price, they have also reserved 2 million licenses for S2 in case of emergency needs.

but……

However, without the continued authorization of MindOS, the sales of S2 will come to an abrupt end.

so……

Zheng Jinrong quickly came on stage and expressed Samsung Electronics' sincerity: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Shi, I believe that the friendly cooperation between us can be sustained."

"..."

"You also promised at the beginning that after the first batch of contracts ends, you will coordinate within the alliance to reduce the licensing fee."

"..."

Lu Weiyu chuckled and said: "That's true, but we hope that the next cooperation will still be friendly."

"..."

After several confrontations.

Zheng Jinrong pretended to grit his teeth and said: "How about this, we will deliver the balance of the 1 million authorizations today and all the remaining 2 million authorizations."

"Of course, we will use the remaining 2 million copies for other models."

Hearing this, Lu Weiyu looked calm: "Your approach is very sincere. I don't know what your specific needs are."

"..."

Only at this step can we officially enter the topic.

Samsung Electronics definitely has new ideas.

And he also went out of his way to show some sincerity in advance.

More than 4.4 billion in payments were delivered successively.

This is also a considerable cash expenditure for Samsung Electronics.

Even because of the hot sales of S2 in the domestic market, Samsung Electronics' cash flow is very abundant.

Zheng Jinrong said seriously: "We hope to sign a long-term supply contract."

"Based on the excellence of your MindOS, we will fully adopt MindOS."

Lu Weiyu asked further: "As far as I know, you have a self-developed Bada system, and a large number of models use Android. How can you say that you fully adopt MindOS?"

Hearing this, Zheng Jinrong smiled slightly: "Yesterday, our senior management decided at its latest meeting to abandon the self-developed Bada system and completely terminate the research and development of Bada starting in 2012."

Zheng Jinrong didn't say much else.

"..."

Hearing this, Fang Nian's heart moved.

Although Bada has long been doomed to be a failed system.

But there have been certain glorious moments, such as having more application software support than MindOS at the beginning.

It is also obviously earlier than the development of MindOS, a project launched in 2009.

It just took a similar path to Android, and its development is not as good as Android, so it is doomed to fail.

But Fang Nian never expected that Samsung Electronics would give up on Bada so calmly.

"..."

An intense discussion ensued for almost an hour.

Zheng Jinrong made many demands on behalf of Samsung Electronics.

Including hoping to reduce licensing fees and so on.

Also includes long-term supply contracts and related support, etc.

Samsung Electronics is not too embarrassed about Frontier. Needless to say, Samsung Electronics is now a major customer of Frontier.

Calculating the total amount of more than 5 billion that will be received soon, Samsung Electronics alone will contribute more than 60% of the total revenue to Frontier.

Far exceeding the comprehensive contribution of Nuwa Alliance by dozens or hundreds of times.

At present, Xiaomi is the most developed member of the entire Nuwa Alliance. The development plans of other manufacturers are too conservative and are considered to be marginal players in this boom in smartphones.

Other than that, it’s Meizu.

Although Meizu's performance has been disappointing many times, it has taken the highest priority after all and has begun to adapt to the general environment.

The one that stretches the crotch the most is Juchang.

Juchang gave Fang Nian an inexplicable feeling of stiffness, which seemed to be because it was too large and difficult to adjust.

Instead, Opal and Vivo once again prepared new models.

It can be said that it is as productive as a sow.

Little by little, it has eroded the physical market in second- and lower-tier cities.

Outside the league, Samsung is the leader.

Because Samsung is an old brand that has been around for many years, apart from the system being awkward, the whole thing is very attractive, from the lens set, the screen to the memory particles, chips and so on.

In total, it is only a small-scale adjustment of the supporting operating system.

Suddenly it became the second best-selling smartphone.

The first one is undoubtedly Redmi 1.

As for ZTE and Coolpad, including big brother Lenovo, they are relatively slow to respond.

Among them, Lenovo’s big brother is the most important, and now it is firmly committed to the Android camp and will never give up.

ZTE and Coolpad are both testing the waters of MindOS with new flagship products...

"..."

In short, after a morning of consultations, Frontier Science and Samsung Electronics finally reached a new cooperation memorandum.

The terms are relatively simple:

1. Cutting-edge science supplies Nuwa mobile phone system to Samsung Electronics on a long-term basis (except for force majeure factors);

2. Frontier Science charges Samsung Electronics a licensing fee of 3% of the retail price of mobile phones in the domestic market;

To this end, Samsung Electronics agreed to purchase 10 million Shenlong 1 pieces in batches;
To be continued...
