Wentai and Zhanxun started in the wave of copycat phones in 2005.

At that time, branded feature phones such as Nokia and Moji often cost several thousand dollars more. However, Huaguo had a large number of users who were eager for low-priced mobile phones, so copycat phones emerged at the right time and became the first choice of hundreds of millions of users with their low price advantage.

.

Behind the birth of copycat machines is a very large industrial chain. Wentai, which had just started back then, was a very important part of it: a system solution provider. Their main job was to provide customers with well-designed motherboards.

With the motherboard, customers only need to purchase accessories such as screens, cameras, batteries, and mobile phone cases, and then let the factory mass-produce them, then put their own brand logo on them, and a mobile phone is born!

This is actually the turnkey-solution first proposed by MediaTek, and it is also the most successful one.

Wentai is just an imitator, does not master the core technology, and has no advantage in the market, making it very difficult to survive.

Just when Wen Tai was in trouble, he met Zhan Xun, who was also a fallen person in Tianya.

At that time, Zhan Xun had developed quite a reputation in the industry for developing the first mobile phone and new chip with independent intellectual property rights in Asia.

Zhanxun originally hoped to use its own chips to compete with MediaTek, but was beaten by the other party's turnkey-solution solution. Since it did not have a mature system solution, it could only watch the market being dominated by MediaTek.

Fate caused these two companies to meet. One had system solutions and the other could provide chips, so they hit it off. Wentai focused on mobile phone design, and Zhanxun specialized in chips. The two parties started close cooperation.

In 2006, when MediaTek dominated the market, Wentai and Zhanxun were able to capture four million of the 100 million units shipped, which was considered a considerable achievement at the time.

Their most successful battle was the launch of "true dual-SIM dual-standby technology". Unlike other dual-SIM dual-standby mobile phones, their mobile phone could allow two cards to be on standby at the same time without short-term use. It was definitely a black technology at the time.

The two families had a good life, until feature phones gradually declined, the country also stepped up its efforts to crack down on copycat phones, and the entire market began to shrink sharply, and they both became losers again.

Wentai had no choice but to get rid of its original model and transform into an ODM. It accepted the commission from the brand and provided all services including mobile phone research and development, design and production, and post-maintenance. To use a very popular word in later generations to describe it, it is: surrogacy!

The transformation process was very difficult. The original channels were gone, new customers could not be found for a long time, and production and operation were in great difficulties. They had to seek help from Pan Chunxiao through connections.

Zhan Xun has almost encountered the same situation. Their chips were still competitive in the era of feature phones, but in the era of smartphones, the overall technical level is completely insufficient. There are no scum left after being crushed by Qualcomm MediaTek Inter. Although in the past few years,

Magnesium State went public, and encountered the recent difficulties of Huaguo concept stocks continuing to decline, and major cash flow problems occurred, and Pan Chunxiao was also found.

One of Pan Chunxiao's responsibilities is to provide cooperation channels and opportunities for domestic information industry companies. He receives a lot of requests for help every day. He originally had a headache from these two companies, but after looking at their main businesses,

Li Rui suddenly came to mind.

The assets owned by these two companies are exactly what Li Rui is seeking and developing. If Li Rui can cooperate with Wentai Zhanxun, not only can the difficulties of the two companies be solved, but Li Rui's chip dream and mobile phone dream may also be realized faster.

However, Pan Chunxiao had other important things to deal with recently, so he just had an idea and forgot it in his mind. Thanks to mentioning it to Guandong Lin before, he only remembered it when Li Rui came to him.

"Why, are you very interested?" Pan Chunxiao asked.

Li Ruidao: "I'm very interested."

In his previous life, Li Rui had heard of Wentai for a long time. He was one of the heroes behind the success of Xiaomi mobile phones, and he also took advantage of the opportunity of providing ODM services for Xiaomi to successfully go public.

Even if Pan Chunxiao doesn't mention it this time, after the Xingrui mobile phone is launched, Li Rui will definitely find Wentai and use their rich experience in ODM to provide mature solutions for several Xingrui mobile phones in the next stage, or even directly outsource them.

.

Now that Wen Tai has taken the initiative to deliver it to your door, that's really the best thing.

As for Zhan Xun, Li Ruitu bought a tablet computer using their processor at a low price, and the experience was only four words: What the hell!

But just such a thing can be regarded as the high-end level of domestic independent chips.

Li Rui remembered that if Zhanxun persisted for another two years, he would be acquired by Mizuki Guanghua for a price of 1.7 billion yuan. With the various internal changes of Mizuki Guanghua, the ups and downs, chip development had gone through many twists and turns, until 2025

There wasn't any splash.

If I had stepped in to acquire Zhanxun instead of leaving it to Mizuki Guanghua, would the future have been different?

Li Rui was very excited.

"Okay, I'll help you make arrangements." Pan Chunxiao said, "I'm going to Haizhou next week. I'll find a time to call the representatives of their two companies over and meet with you."

"Thank you so much!" Li Rui was excited.

Pan Chunxiao said: "This is what I should do, so that independent enterprises such as yours can develop more smoothly. Only then will our country's information industry have hope. Only when I go to international meetings in the future can I stand tall and speak loudly!"

In the afternoon, Sun Yaxun contacted Netlong Technology, the parent company of 91 Mobile Assistant, and made an appointment to meet on Sunday.

Wanglong Technology is an Internet high-tech enterprise located in Minzhou, the richest city in southern Fujian. It was founded in 1999 when the Internet wave emerged. Its main business is online games.

The most famous work they launched is "Devilland", a PC game that Li Rui couldn't get interested in, but many friends are addicted to it. From its release in 2006 to now, it is still the largest game of Netlong Technology

source of income.

As for 91 Mobile Assistant, it was an unintentional investment by NetDragon.

In 2007, the assistant of NetDragon CEO approached Xiong Jun, the developer of iphonepcsuite, and invited him to Minzhou for an interview. After that, he bought the iPhone for 100,000 yuan and a job with a monthly salary of 15,000 yuan.

This software.

At that time, neither Wanglong nor Xiong Jun himself could have imagined that just five years later, this software, renamed 91 Mobile Assistant, would sell for a record high price in the history of the Internet in China!

In 2009, Ahri almost acquired 91 Assistant. The valuation at the time was 30 million yuan, but unfortunately, the plan was not determined enough and the plan died midway.

With the rapid development of mobile Internet, 91 Assistant has now reached a development climax. In the first four months of this year, it has added 10 million new users. Almost 80% of domestic Apple mobile phones have 91 installed on them.

assistant.

At this time, 91 Assistant could no longer be bought by Ahri for 30 million magnesium yuan, and the price had increased by more than five times.

But Li Rui knows that five times is far from the limit.

The value of 91 Assistant can only be truly reflected when it meets Qiandu, who is eager to enter the mobile Internet field.

After Li Rui confirmed the time to meet with Wanglong, he immediately took the afternoon flight to Minzhou. After landing, he got into a car sent by Dening Times and drove to Dening.
