Reborn multinational giant
Chapter 557
Seeing that Lei Zong and Lin Xiaobin had listened to his words, Fang zhe continued to add weight and said:
"This year\'s launch of huami mobile phone is an important opportunity for Xiaomi to enter the high-end mobile phone market. If we miss this opportunity, we don\'t know when to wait for the next opportunity.
In the past, Xiaomi\'s business mainly focused on medium and low-end mobile phones. After the release of huami mobile phones, Samsung high-end mobile phones and apple mobile phones will become Xiaomi\'s direct competitors.
Even if we make concessions this time, who can guarantee that Apple will threaten us in the future? Will we eat the rest of the apple every time huami mobile phone is released? "
Fang Zhe\'s enlightening words awakened Lei Zong and Lin Xiaobin. They subconsciously felt that Apple was irresistible and did not want to offend apple. However, as long as Xiaomi wanted to be a high-end mobile phone and Xiaomi released huami mobile phone, it was bound to become a competitor of apple, and it was the greatest stupidity to make compromises and concessions to its competitors!
Lei always looks at Fang zhe with grateful eyes. He knows that his trust in Fang Zhe is not wrong. If he doesn\'t call Fang zhe today, but rashly agrees to Apple\'s request, I\'m afraid the launch of huami mobile phone and Xiaomi\'s dream of entering high-end mobile phones will be completely ruined!
"By the way, when is the huami mobile phone press conference scheduled?" Fang zhe suddenly asked. When he came, he just wanted to refuse apple. In fact, he, a busy man, still doesn\'t know when the huami press conference is.
"August 28", we announced the news the day before yesterday. As a result, David came to the door today!
Fang zhe chuckled. No wonder, according to the Convention, Apple\'s press conference is in mid September. If it is robbed of the limelight by huami mobile phone, what else will Apple\'s press conference look like?
Fang zhe turned his eyes and said cunningly, "you\'d better be ready. If Apple also makes the press conference ahead of time, we\'ll make it ahead of time!"
Lei and Lin Xiaobin looked at each other, and Lin Xiaobin said, "it\'s not very good. Why don\'t you blatantly face apple?"
Fang zhe looked at him unhappily and said, "anyway, we have offended, and it\'s not much worse. Think about what kind of sensation and impact it will cause in the industry if we release fingerprint identification technology before the iPhone 5S. Huami mobile phone will be popular when it steps on the iPhone 5S!"
Lei Zong and Lin Xiaobin were very worried. They didn\'t expect that Fang zhe could talk and laugh so much in the face of such a huge thing as apple. Lei always asked with some concern, "gather the crowd."
"Come on! Don\'t worry about me. I\'m not a fool. I\'m not confident enough to challenge apple. On the contrary, it\'s you. Xiaomi has begun to move towards the world. You two are still a little timid. Looking at the CEOs of multinational companies in the world, there are several forward-looking and backward looking CEOs.
Let\'s not say anything else. Let\'s say David, President of Apple\'s Greater China region, wants to put it in Xiaomi. At most, he is a vice president. Which round can he be arrogant and bossy in front of you? "
Lei Zong and Lin Xiaobin have a bitter smile on their faces. Well, you Huizhong are a top multinational company worthy of the name. You naturally have this confidence, but Xiaomi, although it has made great achievements in development in four years, the foundation is too thin. It\'s enough for Xiaomi to drink a pot if people sue for a few patents casually!
Looking at the helpless expression on Lei\'s face, Fang zhe put his hands on their shoulders and said: "I know that Xiaomi has been established for a short time and has taken the civilian route. It has neither saved much profit nor spent much money on patent research and development. However, in international competition, patent war is a common means of competition, so Xiaomi has to study it hard no matter how hard it is.
Fortunately, if the release of huami mobile phone is successful this time, Xiaomi\'s money bag will be a little bigger in the future. In addition, I think we should not only be prepared for a protracted war in the competition between Xiaomi and Samsung apple, but also focus on the mobile phone field. "
Lei and Lin Xiaobin looked at each other and asked, "what do you mean?"
"I remember that in addition to mobile phones, Xiaomi has also made mobile phone peripheral products such as headphones and mobile power supply?" Fang zhe asked.
Lin Xiaobin explained: "we all do headphones, mobile power supply and data cable. These are supporting products of mobile phones. We must do these!"
Fang zhe clapped his hands: "that\'s right. In addition to these, Xiaomi\'s product line will continue to expand in the future. Xiaomi should gradually involve all the common electronic products in life, from TV, computer, watch, air conditioner and so on!"
Lei Zong and Lin Xiaobin looked at each other. According to Fang Zhe, the millet stall was too big. Wouldn\'t it become a grocery store?
Before the two of Mr. Lei asked, Fang zhe asked:
"I ask you, what future trends do you think will be in the mobile phone industry, hardware industry and Internet industry in the next ten or even twenty years?"
They were silent for a moment and thought and replied:
"In the mobile phone industry, large screen mobile phones are a trend."
"In the future, with the popularity of 4G and 5g, the speed of mobile phones will certainly be faster."
"There are ar, VR, wearable devices, smart home, Internet of things, driverless, artificial intelligence, which can\'t be said for three days and three nights!"
Lin Xiaobin said as if he were a family treasure.
"On the whole, the three industries of mobile phone, hardware and Internet are more and more closely connected. Even in the future era of the Internet of things, everything will be connected to the Internet, including furniture, TV and air conditioning!" Mr. Lei said this, and he understood what Fang zhe meant.
"So do you understand what I mean?" Fang zhe asked.
Lei and Lin Xiaobin nodded at the same time and said, "I see. You mean, our competition with Samsung and Apple will extend from the field of mobile phones to the future smart home, wearable devices and even the whole field of the Internet of things!"
Fang zhe smiled with satisfaction: "yes, in the mobile phone industry, Xiaomi is too different from old giants such as Samsung and apple, but in the emerging fields of smart home, wearable devices and the Internet of things, Xiaomi is on the same starting line with them. If we don\'t pay close attention to the time layout now, we may face the same backward gap as the mobile phone industry in the future!"
"President Fang, we all know what you said. In fact, as early as this year\'s it summit, after you and google president Li debated wearable devices, there was a voice inside Xiaomi, hoping that Xiaomi would also enter these fields.
But President Lei and I believe that only focus can succeed. Xiaomi should focus on mobile phones. If it makes too many products, I\'m afraid it can\'t do anything well! "Lin Xiaobin thought and explained.
Fang zhe nodded approvingly and said, "it\'s true that many times only focus can succeed, but this time is different. Think about it. Even in the future, with the rise of smart home and the Internet of things, what devices other than mobile phones will become the core devices and carriers of the whole network?"
"So you mean to use the core mobile phone business to build a smart Internet of things around mobile phones?" Mr. Lei asked.
"Almost this means that the core mobile phone business must be in the hands of Xiaomi, while other mobile phones and smart home products can invest and support a number of start-ups.
Or cooperate with established companies in these fields to help them intelligentize their current TV, air conditioning and other products, connect them to the Internet of things with Xiaomi mobile phone as the core, and build a smart Internet of things around Xiaomi mobile phone! "
"This year\'s launch of huami mobile phone is an important opportunity for Xiaomi to enter the high-end mobile phone market. If we miss this opportunity, we don\'t know when to wait for the next opportunity.
