Wang Yi originally planned to price the Xingyi xphone 1 16G version at 2999.
However, the specifications of the Xingyi xphone 1 were indeed much higher than Xiaomi's 1999 model.
Even if it started selling at 3999, it could still sell, but it wouldn't be a smash hit!
The most important thing right now was not just how much profit the phone generated, but to rapidly seize market share while ensuring profit!
What Wang Yi wanted was an ecosystem strategy, where market share was even more important than profit.
At this stage, the domestic mobile phone market was still in its infancy, and whoever first secured enough market share and users would win.
In his previous life, why was Apple able to challenge the entire Android camp alone?
It was because Apple had many users, and user loyalty was high!
With enough users, Apple could establish its own ecosystem and set its own standards!
Even if there were global objections, it was useless; Apple had the final say.
The EU tried for many years to make Apple use a C-port (USB-C), but Apple wouldn't listen.
Ultimately, this issue was only resolved through legislative means.
Similarly, as long as Xingyi phones had enough users, they could also promote their own standards and accessories.
It didn't matter whether the international community recognized it or not.
As long as Xingyi phones had many users and high sales, suppliers who wanted to make money would have to comply!
Whatever specifications of hardware Wang Yi needed, they would have to produce!
In his previous life, Huawei was able to completely remove Android and promote the pure-blood HarmonyOS Next system, largely because it had hundreds of millions of loyal Huawei users willing to support it!
To put it bluntly, users were the core!
He who gains users gains the world.
In his previous life, Apple was deeply entrenched, and Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, O, and V were all unstoppable, making it difficult for other brands to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.
But in 2011, smartphones were just beginning to develop, Apple hadn't yet fully achieved mythical status, Huawei and Xiaomi were just getting started, and other brands were still scrambling to make feature phones.
Wang Yi still had a chance, and could seize the opportunity to grow big.
Currently, there were only over 300 million smartphone users in China, half of whom used Nokia.
Apple users only numbered 70 million.
With Nokia's decline, the entire mobile phone market would undergo a major reshuffle, and Nokia users would switch to other brands in the coming years.
As long as Xingyi phones secured 50 million users, they could take one-third of the domestic smartphone market!
If they secured 80 million users, launching a brand-new system would not be an issue.
With 80 million Xingyi smartphone users, software developers would actively adapt their products!
Any software that didn't adapt would be replaced and eliminated by similar software.
The biggest advantage of 2011 was the chaotic "Spring and Autumn" period, where no one was an absolute hegemon.
This was true for both mobile phone brands and apps.
According to Wang Yi's plan, Xingyi phone users would exceed 30 million in 2012, and by leveraging budget phones (thousand-yuan phones) in 2013, total users would surpass 100 million!
If this goal could be achieved, seizing the opportunity to launch their own system and replace Android would not be a problem!
This required that for the next two years, profit would be secondary, and market share would be primary.
Therefore, Wang Yi still priced the Xingyi xphone 1 at 3299, which could be considered a fair price.
Adding two years of Xingyi Video and Xingyi Music memberships as a gift, which was equivalent to 2999, made it even more of a bargain!
Not only would it be a complete smash hit and rapidly seize market share, but it could also bundle and sell the two major memberships.
Among other things, if 10 million Xingyi xphone 1 units were sold, that would equate to 3 billion in membership revenue!
In this way, Xingyi Video and Xingyi Music would not only avoid losses, but also make a significant profit.
Other platforms would take many years of losses to break even, whereas Xingyi Video and Xingyi Music would be profitable from the start.
This was the advantage of the combined strategy.
Moreover, even the most expensive TV dramas could break even.
For example, "Nirvana in Fire," invested 80 million, and by then selling it to the four major satellite TV stations + numerous local TV stations, it could break even and earn a considerable profit.
Launching it on their own platform, with new membership revenue + advertising sponsorship revenue, would also bring in some profit.
As for "Red Sorghum," it went without saying.
Once Mo Shen won the Nobel Prize, the revenue from selling "Red Sorghum" to satellite and local TV stations would surge significantly.
However, "Xia Lan" would be difficult to sell externally.
For no other reason than, the weekly broadcast format most satellite TV stations currently couldn't accept.
For example, CCTV Children's Channel had to wait until a season was fully produced and approved before airing it.
"Xia Lan" had 52 episodes produced previously but hadn't aired, simply waiting for CCTV Children's Channel's review, negotiation, and procedural steps.
Now that Wang Yi was remaking it, it was impossible to wait until all remakes were complete, then wait for CCTV Children's Channel's review, and then broadcast it...
That would take forever.
Even if they had to give up the opportunity to sell it to CCTV Children's Channel, it had to be aired as Xingyi Video's first wave of self-produced dramas as soon as possible, to achieve a strong start!
The plot of "Xia Lan" was two points worse than "The Legend of Qin," but the remade models and picture quality were five points better than "The Legend of Qin"!
It could be said that "Xia Lan" represented the highest modeling and picture quality standards for domestic animation at that time.
Its influence was naturally impressive, even surpassing "The Legend of Qin."
After all, no comparison, no harm.
If everyone had rough models, all at a four-point level, then it was fine.
But if "Xia Lan" achieved nine points, then "The Legend of Qin"'s four points would be a big problem.
Local TV stations, however, could be considered for sale, if they accepted weekly broadcasts.
Any extra money earned was a bonus, and broadcasting on local channels would also serve as promotion for "Xia Lan," which could attract viewers to become Xingyi Video members.
In the worst-case scenario, if local TV stations also couldn't sell it, then Xingyi Video would exclusively broadcast it, and more advertising would also attract users to become Xingyi Video members.
Indeed, the starting price of 3299 completely sold out.
However, in the initial phase of its launch, Wang Yi also made strategic adjustments.
Out of these one million units in stock, 300,000 were distributed to over 500 offline physical stores, and 700,000 were sold directly online!
Moreover, the initial one million units in stock were not evenly distributed; there were only 200,000 16G units, and 400,000 units each for the 32G and 64G versions!
For no other reason than, naturally, the larger the memory, the higher the profit.
The 16G version was 3299, with a profit of around 1800.
The 32G version was 3799, with a profit of around 2150.
The 64G version was 4299, with a profit of around 2400.
Subsequent production capacity distribution would also follow this pattern.
Once the 16G version was sold out, consumers could only buy the 3799 32G version.
If the 32G version also sold out, then they would only be able to buy the 4299 64G version.
These were all common tactics.
Although a bit unethical, it was normal.
After all, competitors did even more extreme things.
For example, some brands would have no stock officially, but scalpers would have as many as you wanted, selling them at inflated prices.
Or the bare phone wasn't available, and you had to pay extra to buy a bundle!
Seeing everyone in the audience taking out their phones to place orders, Wang Yi smiled slightly:
"To prevent scalpers from inflating prices, we have prepared one million units of Xingyi phones, and only then did we hold this launch event and begin simultaneous sales."
"Ensuring that everyone can purchase their desired product at the original price!"
"Chairman Wang is so conscientious! Chairman Wang is mighty!"
"I suggest all brands learn from Xingyi Technology, and only start selling when they have sufficient stock!"
"Exactly, how dare they sell without one million units in stock? Are they trying to make monkeys out of us?!"
"I love this kind of massive stock, openly sold, with no tricks involved."
"Because Chairman Wang is so generous, I must support a Xingyi xphone 1. Straight for the 64G!"
...
Wang Yi continued:
"Everyone knows that lossless music takes up a lot of space; a single song can be tens of megabytes. Additionally, Xingyi Video's HD videos can be cached at home using Wi-Fi, and then watched in offline areas without consuming mobile data."
"However, high-bitrate HD videos also take up a lot of space."
"Therefore, I suggest everyone try to buy the best version they can at once, starting with the 32G version, to avoid running out of storage space and affecting usage."
Wang Yi was telling the truth; with the 32G version, they could use it for two years.
The 16G version, they would probably have to replace in a year.
Lossless music and videos taking up memory was one thing, but there were also games later on!
Some of which were several gigabytes, also occupying a lot of storage space.
Coupled with the characteristics of the Android system, it was becoming increasingly bloated.
By the time "Honkai" came out, 16G would be nowhere near enough.
Everyone nodded in agreement; many people were directly going for the 32G version.
Just like iPhones, the lowest version was simply not worth buying.
In the X era, you had to start with 128G.
By the time of the 13, you had to start with 256G.
"The phone segment concludes here. Many people have reported that the Type-C headphone jack cannot adapt to other headphones. While the gifted HiFi earphones have good sound quality, they do not meet the demands of audiophiles!"
"Right! That's a problem."
"Chairman Wang, what should I do? My earphones can't be used anymore!"
Wang Yi smiled slightly:
"This problem is not difficult. In addition to the accompanying Xingyi Type-C HiFi earphones gifted with the Xingyi xphone 1, there is also a high-quality Xingyi Type-C HiFi Earphones Pro version!"
"The hardware configuration of the Pro version has been fully upgraded, benchmarking against major brand thousand-yuan earphones. It was also personally tuned and optimized by a professional international audio master, guaranteeing a high-quality HiFi experience."
"As for the price, it's only 599!"
"Enjoying thousand-yuan HiFi earphones for 599. It has already launched on the Xingyi Phone Official Mall, Meiyou Mall, Xingyi Phone Flagship Store, Meiyou and Zhenyou Flagship Stores, and specialty stores! Everyone is welcome to purchase."
"If you have any doubts about the sound quality of the Xingyi Type-C HiFi Earphones Pro version, good products aren't afraid of comparison! Everyone can go to offline physical stores to experience it firsthand before deciding whether to buy it or not!"
"Furthermore, some users have expressed that they don't like wired earphones. For this reason, we have also developed Bluetooth earphones, X buds!"
Take Apple's path, leaving Apple with no path to take!
That's right, Wang Yi had created Apple's AirPods, released in 2016, ahead of time!
Although the overall product was far less superior than AirPods, it was still first-class in 2011.
"Everyone knows that a single Bluetooth earphone is fine for calls, but listening to music offers no experience whatsoever."
"And those traditional wired Bluetooth earphones would also be somewhat cumbersome due to the presence of wires."
"Therefore, our X buds adopt the form of two independent Bluetooth earphones, allowing one earphone to be used individually, or both to be used together. Whether for calls or listening to music, they can provide a better experience!"
"As shown in the picture!"
Wang Yi waved his hand, and the large screen behind him displayed the X buds:
"These are our X buds, a new generation of Bluetooth earphones that completely break free from the constraints of wires, while ensuring HiFi sound effects!"
"And the sound quality of these two Bluetooth earphones has reached a very high standard, not inferior to major brand Bluetooth earphones costing two thousand yuan!"
"When listening to music, a single charge can last up to five hours. For calls, it can last over two hours."
"Furthermore, we have also equipped them with a charging case!"
As he spoke, the charging case appeared on the large screen:
"It is both a storage case, convenient for putting the two Bluetooth earphones into at any time, making them less likely to get lost. And it is also a charging compartment, which can charge the Bluetooth earphones multiple times at any time."
"When our Bluetooth earphones are not in use, place them in the charging compartment, and the indicator light on the charging compartment will illuminate, automatically charging the Bluetooth earphones."
"When the indicator light turns off, it means they are fully charged. When the charging compartment shows a yellow light, it means the charging compartment is out of power and needs to be charged!"
"In this way, with the Bluetooth earphones + charging compartment power supply, they can provide up to 18 hours of music playback. And 12 hours of talk time, which is enough for a whole day."
Watching this scene, everyone present was shocked:
"Such a fashionable design, even more fashionable to use."
"The biggest concern with Bluetooth earphones was battery life. Now, with X buds' charging case, battery life is no longer an issue."
"Dual Bluetooth earphones, and no wires needed. This is the true destiny of Bluetooth earphones."
"Chairman Wang is mighty, another great creation!"
"Such ingenious X buds, no one can refuse them."
"They even have a charging case, truly impressive! But it's genuinely useful to use, so ingenious."
"How much? Chairman Wang, quickly put them on sale! I know they won't be cheap, but I still have to buy them!"
"Definitely buying them. My head-turning rate on the street will be off the charts in the future."
"As expected of Meiyou's Chairman Wang, pure allure fashion. Even a Bluetooth earphone can be made so stylish. Must buy!"
...
"As for the price…"
Wang Yi paused:
"The cost of dual Bluetooth earphones is already high, and with sound quality comparable to the two-thousand-yuan range, plus the charging case, the cost is truly high."
"But based on the principle of making friends, we have tried our best to keep the price down."
"X buds, dual Bluetooth earphones + charging case + Type-C charging cable, all for a fixed price of 999!"
"The official website, Meiyou Mall, and offline physical stores are all launching simultaneously. Welcome to purchase!"
"Furthermore, these earphones are not just for Xingyi phones; other Android phones, Apple phones, Nokia phones, PCs, and any other Bluetooth-enabled devices can all use them!"
The live comments exploded:
"Dual Bluetooth earphones + charging case for only 999? That's not expensive!"
"Yeah, single Bluetooth earphones from smaller brands cost 400-500. Major brands are all over a thousand!"
"Bluetooth earphones are too expensive now. My male idol (Wang Yi) is truly conscientious. I give my first to you!"
"Damn, what kind of aggressive talk is that?"
"Such good dual Bluetooth earphones + charging case for under 1000? That's too good a deal, I'm placing an order now!"
"I'm already at the entrance of the Xingyi Flagship Store, queuing up. So many people, I can't see the end of the line!"
"I got both the Xingyi xphone 1 and X buds! They're absolutely exquisite!"
"Envious of the person upstairs. I came to queue at 8 o'clock, and it's still not my turn."
"I'm also in line. Damn, even in our fifth-tier small city, there are so many people queuing up. It's making me anxious."
"No choice, the Xingyi xphone 1 is too hot. I have to queue even at the Meiyou Flagship Store."
...
Bluetooth earphones were expensive in 2011, so pricing X buds at 999 was quite conscientious, and even very cost-effective.
As for the reason, it was still because the current production of Bluetooth earphones was low, and costs couldn't come down.
Wang Yi priced them at 999; not only would Xingyi phone users buy them, but even other Android and Apple users would buy them.
It was all about driving sales volume!
As long as the volume went up, under the effect of economies of scale, the cost of X buds would significantly decrease, and profits would become increasingly higher.
Wang Yi's goal was to make X buds a fashion statement, the most popular Bluetooth earphones among young people, their first pair of Bluetooth earphones.
After acquiring the earphone accessory factory, Wang Yi conducted some research, and directly cut other Bluetooth earphone projects.
He concentrated production capacity to specifically manufacture X buds!
Currently, 200,000 sets were also in stock, which should be enough to sell!
On the other hand, only 50,000 sets of the 599 Type-C HiFi Earphones Pro version were produced.
Even though the Type-C HiFi Earphones Pro version, as wired earphones, had better sound quality than X buds, they still wouldn't sell as well as X buds.
Consumers' biggest habit was to pursue fashion!
Undoubtedly, when X buds exploded onto the scene in 2011, the sensational effect far surpassed the release of AirPods in his previous life in 2016!
Wang Yi canceling the 3.5mm headphone jack was, firstly, a general trend.
Secondly, it encouraged users to buy X buds and the Type-C HiFi Earphones Pro version.
Wang Yi continued:
"If earphones have charging cases, how can our phones not have charging cases?"
"That's right, we also simultaneously launched the Xingyi Power Bank 1st Generation!"
As he spoke, Wang Yi took out a power bank:
"As everyone said, the Xingyi Power Bank 1st Generation is palm-sized. It's half the size of competitors'. Despite its small size, it has a large capacity of 6600mAh, which can charge a Xingyi phone more than twice! And charge an iPhone 4S more than four times!"
"As for the price, again, we're making friends!"
"The Xingyi Power Bank 1st Generation, only 188!"
...
"6600mAh, even cheaper than other brands' 5000mAh! Buy it!"
"Smaller size, higher power capacity, and incredibly beautiful aesthetics. I want it."
"All of Xingyi Technology's products have outstanding aesthetics, they are practically works of art."
"Yes, just for these looks, I'd buy it even if it sold for 200!"
...
Currently, 5000mAh power banks from brands like Aigo and SCUD all cost 180-250!
The Xingyi Power Bank, at 6600mAh, was only 180, making it quite cost-effective.
Moreover, with its outstanding appearance, it was destined to become a hit product.
As for a 10000mAh Xingyi power bank, Wang Yi planned to treat it as a second generation and launch it next year.
In 2011, when most batteries were below 2000mAh, 6600mAh was already considered an ultra-large capacity.
A genuine 10000mAh power bank was not yet available on the market; it would have to wait until next year!
With precise maneuvering, Wang Yi also had to keep some cards up his sleeve.
For example, the beauty algorithm, Wang Yi did not release it this time, but saved it for next year's Xingyi xphone 1 Pro!
If the Xingyi xphone 1 Pro didn't have enough highlights, consumers wouldn't buy into it.
On the contrary, they had to put in a lot of effort to make it a hot seller again.
According to Wang Yi's plan, the Xingyi xphone 1 Pro would not only upgrade to the world's first quad-core processor, but also to 2G RAM!
Coupled with an unprecedented beauty algorithm, it would then have a chance of winning.
But that wasn't enough; it would be best to upgrade the battery capacity to 3000mAh!
After all, quad-core processors consumed a lot of power, and 2500mAh might not be able to handle it.
Even 10W fast charging had to be arranged!
With these highlights, the Xingyi xphone 1 Pro could command a high price and become a hot seller.
With so many innovations, starting at 3999 would not be a big problem.
After all, the Xingyi xphone 1 Pro, focused on the high-end market, and there would only be five million units.
If they wanted to sell more, Nvidia processors would be available in any quantity needed, but Qualcomm's baseband would be difficult to procure.
After all, the Nvidia Tegra 3 did not come with a bundled baseband.
If Qualcomm were willing to continue selling basebands to Wang Yi at a low price, then there would naturally be no problem.
But this possibility was very small, extremely small.
If Qualcomm was unwilling to continue selling basebands at a low price, then the total of 5 million Xingyi xphone 1 Pro units could only target the high-end market and sell at high prices!
At that time, the one leading the charge would still have to be the Xingyi xphone 1!
Four or five months later, the Xingyi xphone 1 Pro would be launched, priced at 3999, targeting the high-end market.
The Xingyi xphone 1 would drop its price to start at 2999, aiming for sales volume.
With these two product lines, one high-end and one low-end, they could also be more stable.
There was no other way; being dependent on others for basebands was a last resort.
Unless a self-developed baseband successfully entered mass production, shaking off Qualcomm's dependence.
But the possibility of successful development and mass production in a short time was small.
However, even if there were only five million Xingyi xphone 1 Pro units, it didn't matter; in the second half of the year, there would be the Xingyi xphone 2, equipped with a Qualcomm quad-core processor!
At that time, with Qualcomm's processor + Qualcomm's baseband, they could have as many as they wanted.
Calculated this way, the Xingyi xphone 1 would sell 15 million units for the entire year, the Xingyi xphone 1 Pro 5 million, and the Xingyi 2nd Generation 10 million in the second half of the year…
This would still result in 30 million units sold!
The future was bright, but the path was winding.
How to achieve 30 million sales would depend on Wang Yi's capabilities.
"Besides earphones and power banks, we have also launched a series of accompanying products."
"Such as high-end tempered glass screen protectors for the Xingyi xphone 1, phone stands, various exquisite and attractive protective cases, leather covers, and pendants!"
"In addition, we will launch many co-branded merchandise, such as protective cases and leather covers co-branded with "Xia Lan" and "The Untamed," for users who love anime and novels!"
"Later, there will be protective cases and leather covers co-branded with "Empresses in the Palace" and "Nirvana in Fire," for fans who enjoy watching dramas."
"Furthermore, our Xingyi xphone 1 has a five-megapixel front camera, which is powerful enough for selfies."
"To allow users to have better selfie effects, we have also launched selfie sticks and selfie lights!"
"All are available on the Xingyi Official Mall, Meiyou Mall, Xingyi Flagship Store, Meiyou and Zhenyou Flagship Stores, and specialty stores. Welcome to purchase!"
"Chairman Wang is so thoughtful, he even thought of tempered glass screen protectors and protective cases."
"And co-branded items, love it, love it!"
"There are both selfie sticks and selfie lights, my absolute favorites!"
"There are also exquisite pendants, which can make my Xingyi xphone 1 unique!"
"It's over, there are more must-buy items, my wallet is crying! Boo-hoo!"
...
"Hardware + System + Ecosystem + Service, this is precisely Xingyi Technology's commitment to all users."
"Therefore, we have already opened Xingyi Flagship Stores in many cities. In addition to selling products, every Xingyi Flagship Store includes an after-sales service center!"
"In the future, if anyone's Xingyi phone encounters any problems or requires any service, they can go to a nearby flagship store for after-sales service!"
"With this, the press conference concludes. Thank you all for your support!"
...
"Wow! A flagship store with an after-sales service center, this service is truly thoughtful."
"Yes, phones from other brands have to be sent back to the factory for repairs when broken, but with Xingyi phones, you can just go to a nearby after-sales service center."
"Perfect hardware, perfect system, perfect ecosystem, perfect service! I can't find any reason not to buy the Xingyi xphone 1!"
"The question now is not whether to buy the Xingyi xphone 1, but what else to buy in addition to the Xingyi xphone 1!"
"The Xingyi xphone 1 is a must-buy! X buds Bluetooth earphones are a must-buy! Tempered glass screen protectors and protective cases are a must-buy! Power banks must also be bought!"
"And selfie sticks, selfie lights, all must be bought!"
"Exquisite pendants are also indispensable!"
"Stop talking, my wallet isn't enough, I have to ask my parents for living expenses!"
...
Wang Yi sighed:
"I just received notification from the director, that since its launch until now, in fifteen minutes, online sales of the Xingyi xphone 1 have exceeded 300,000 units, with revenue breaking 1.2 billion! Thank you all for your support!"
"What!"
"Holy cow!"
"300,000 units sold in fifteen minutes? And that's just online!"
"Then adding offline sales, wouldn't it be 400,000 units? 500,000 units?"
"It's over, I thought one million units in stock would last at least a month. Now it looks like it might not even last two days!"
"Stop talking, I'm placing an order now, it'll be too late if I wait any longer."
"It's already too late, the 16G version is sold out!"
...
A sensation across the entire network!
Everyone panicked at once!
Those who were originally waiting to pick up their orders at physical stores all had to place orders directly online.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to get one at all.
Wang Yi's head was pounding!
He had been careless, truly careless.
He had thought that the price of 3299 with 300 in membership gifts would be a hit, but he hadn't expected it to be such a massive hit!
300,000 units in fifteen minutes!
Truly incredible.
But thinking about it, it made sense.
In his previous life, the first round of 200,000 units of the Xiaomi Phone 1S sold out in 30 minutes during open sale.
Later, the Xiaomi 2's first batch of 50,000 units sold out in three minutes.
Although the Xingyi xphone 1 was a bit more expensive, its specifications were higher and it had more selling points.
Even the system was based on the latest Android 4.0, and coupled with the ecosystem strategy of Xingyi Music and Xingyi Video, the Xingyi xphone 1 truly had no shortcomings! Looking at domestic mobile phones, the xphone 1 had no rivals at all.
Against the Samsung S2, the Xingyi xphone 1 could also crush it.
Even the 5999 Samsung Note, it could step all over.
And the iPhone 4S could also get two big slaps in the face!
Coupled with a price that was two to three thousand cheaper than Apple and Samsung, and selling even more wildly than Xiaomi in his previous life, it was only natural.
But Wang Yi was getting a headache.
Such massive sales volume, simply couldn't be produced!
Who would have thought that one million units in stock would not be enough to sell!
It could only be said that in 2011, hundreds of millions of Nokia users were waiting to switch to smartphones, and there was a severe lack of good quality, affordable smartphones!
The timing of the Xingyi xphone 1's appearance was just right, and the product itself was very powerful, making it difficult for it not to be a smash hit.
After the press conference, Wang Yi left Song Sining to handle the aftermath, and without bothering about anything else, he directly left the Water Cube.
On the way, Wu Shuang drove straight to Xingyi Science and Technology Park.
Wang Yi opened his phone, and dialed Zhu Changlin's number:
"Old Zhu, how are the sales now?"
"Chairman, 510,000 of the 700,000 online units have already been sold. The 3299 16G version and the 3799 32G version are both sold out! Only the 4299 64G version remains, with over 180,000 units left."
Wang Yi fell silent: "…"
From the launch of the Xingyi xphone 1 to now, only half an hour had passed.
510,000 units sold!
And that was even after the 16G and 32G versions were gone.
Otherwise, another 200,000 units would also sell out!
"Old Zhu, immediately call all suppliers, and tell them to supply goods as soon as possible. Also, get quotes and add orders. For suitable prices, add another 5 million sets to the order! For unsuitable prices, switch suppliers if possible; if not, renegotiate!"
"Understood, Chairman. Sony, Sharp, and Toshiba are all cooperative, and BYD is also fine. It's just Qualcomm…"
Zhu Changlin looked troubled.
Qualcomm was the most difficult supplier to deal with, definitely a son trying to act like a father.
Logically speaking, mobile phone manufacturers should be the client/buyer and the 'father'.
But with Qualcomm, it was completely different; there was always a 'son' trying to act like a 'father'!
"I'll handle Qualcomm!"
Wang Yi hung up the phone, and directly dialed Jacob's number:
"Excuse me, Mr. Jacob, for disturbing you at this hour."
"No, not at all, dear Wang. I'm not asleep yet. Congratulations on the phenomenal sales of Xingyi phones!"
