Chapter 90 Taishan Developer Fund
Chapter 90 Taishan Developer Fund
"For example, if they lower the price, add the WAPI standard, restore the WiFi function, and then do some localization adaptation, they will be a formidable competitor."
After some thought, the group concluded that with a price reduction and the addition of WiFi, fruit would indeed be a formidable competitor...
Policies can constrain them temporarily, but they can't constrain them forever. Once Apple supports the WAPI module, its problems will be easily solved.
At this moment, Chen Hai raised his hand: "President Shen, our Taishan OS is no worse than iOS in terms of user experience."
In some ways it's even better, why...?
"The main difference is in the ecology, and we are not outsiders."
Shen Fei pointed to the large screen, where a bunch of data had already appeared.
Thanks to Apple's full-fledged promotion, iOS now has 10 apps, while TaiShan OS currently only has a few hundred native apps.
While it is compatible with Android apps, there will be some differences in user experience; native apps cannot be discontinued.
"That's why I'm worried. We're a few years behind Android and iOS, and we're a step behind in terms of ecosystem development."
Shen Fei turned to Liu Zhihong: "Mr. Liu, how's the progress of the TaiShan OS app store?"
"It's already online, and there are currently 1200 apps," Liu Zhihong reported.
"But most of them are utility apps; there are very few games and social apps. We are in talks with Tencent, and they also have ideas."
However, there's still a small issue regarding revenue sharing that hasn't been resolved.
Liu Zhihong's side was prepared to split the profits 50/50, but Tencent believed that as the largest game company in China, it was impossible for them to sign a public domain agreement.
They have to pull something together. The reason they are so confident is that Tencent's focus in the gaming market is still mainly on desktop platforms.
The cash cows are all PC games like Dungeon Fighter Online, CrossFire, and QQ Dance.
Tencent believes that the smartphone market at this time is just beginning to emerge, and there are no major products yet. Therefore, they are not particularly reliant on Transsion or Huawei's distribution channels.
They will not change their strategy in this regard for at least the next five years.
"Stop arguing with the penguins. Just have Mr. Huang go over there." Shen Fei shook his head. "We need to actively cultivate the ecosystem, Mr. Huang."
Huang Tianya quickly turned his head to look in Shen Fei's direction, waiting for instructions: "Here."
At the same time, he understood Shen Fei's meaning: if he couldn't handle it, he would acquire it.
"We will allocate 10 billion yuan from Huaxin Investment to establish the Taishan Developer Fund."
That's right, Shenfei brought out the same system that Huawei used in later generations.
There's nothing money can't solve. That used to be about incentives, but now it's about real-time competition.
After all, the subsidies for iOS and Android are not as generous now, so it should definitely attract some users.
"Subsidies will be given to developers who develop applications based on TaiShan OS. Rewards will be given when user downloads reach a certain level."
We don't seek exclusivity! But they must be native apps, and we aim to have over 1 apps within a year.
"clear."
Huang Tianya didn't say anything, but took out his phone and started issuing targets.
It's only 10 billion yuan; they can just fleece the investors again.
Rather than letting those insatiable wolves on Wall Street profit from us, we should let them do something more meaningful. After all, the lady has already paid the money.
[The lush green chives: Thank you! What's the difference between you and them?]
After briefly resolving the system issue, Shen Fei turned to Yu Dazui: "President Yu, what stage has Glory's progress reached?"
"The press conference will be held on October 8th, and the first sale will be on November 11th."
With the success of the Mate series, Yu Chengdong (Yu Dazui) is even more confident about the Honor Play.
He was also very confident about the joke Zhao Ming had made earlier.
It's only 2000 million units. It might be a bit difficult by the end of the year, but we will definitely be able to complete it by the middle of next year.
"We have already reached an agreement with Jingxi to turn Singles' Day into a shopping festival, and we will hold a special 1999 RMB event for Honor."
As the first manufacturer to launch online, they enjoy a three-day exclusive sales period. They have already prepared 150 million units, and I am confident that they will all sell out within three days.
"150 million units is not enough," Shenfei said. "We will prepare 200 million units first, and then have the contract manufacturers speed up production. We will produce as many as our production capacity allows."
Although Yu Dazui knew what kind of damage 1999 would cause, he still underestimated the impact of this price.
Later, the rice company used this price to not only seize a large market share, but also cultivate a group of loyal rice fans.
However, due to tight production capacity and supply chain issues, the rice company had to sell the rice in stages, which led to it being accused of playing a trick on consumers.
As for the specific reason, well... only Lei Jun himself knows.
Yu Dazui nodded. He would handle Shen Fei's instructions.
Moreover, he also established some offline channels during this period.
Of the $2 billion provided by Huaxin, he specifically requested from Ren Zhengfei (CEO of Huawei) to allocate $500 million for building offline channels. He also experienced the joy of financial power for the first time, and has already secured 300 offline stores.
He believed he wouldn't go wrong by following the telepathic message.
"The end of this year and the first half of next year are key windows for smartphones."
"While the fruit is still adjusting to the local conditions, Sansang hasn't reacted yet, and other domestic brands are still observing... we need to seize the market as quickly as possible."
Shen Fei suddenly stood up and pulled out a new roadmap: "In November, release the Honor series to sweep the mid-to-low-end market."
The Mate Pro was released in December, priced at 3299 yuan, aiming to enter the high-end market.
In January next year, Transsion S2 will be launched in Africa, continuing to use MTK chips, while the domestic version will use the self-developed Taishan T900.
The official version of TaiShan OS 2.0 will be released in March, marking a crucial step in the ecosystem development. The Mate 2 series will also be launched at the same time…
After reviewing these targets, Shen Fei looked at everyone quietly for a while: "Today, our target is 20% market share in China and 15% market share globally."
The people in the conference room were first surprised, then nodded confidently.
The goal was ambitious, but they all believed they could achieve it.
…………
After the meeting, Yu Dazui was left behind alone.
"Mr. Shen, there's something I'm a little worried about."
With no one else in the meeting room, Yu Dazui resumed his loud voice once again.
"MediaTek... We use their chips, and we've even enhanced them. Now they're developing their own chips. Could they...?"
"Yes." Shen Fei nodded. "However, we have already signed an OEM contract with them, so they can also make a living."
However, the Taishan 900 series must be completed as soon as possible.
Once we have our own chips, we won't have to depend on anyone else.
Our own chips!
"By the way, Mr. Yu, Huawei Semiconductor should also speed things up. If that's not enough, we can have Professor Li teach. We can sell you Transsion Semiconductor's chips, but the first release must be by Transsion."
