Chapter 519 People in the Industrial Chain

In the 1980s, during the preparation period of the Guangzhou Special Economic Zone, the electronics industry became the main industry of processing trade, and the electronics industry resources from Hong Kong Island and the mainland continued to move towards Huaqiangbei.

In the 1990s, [Yangcheng International Electronics City] was officially opened, followed by the opening of Wanshang and Dabaihui, and Huaqiangbei gradually became the largest electronic product wholesale and retail center in southern China.

On the eve of 2000, thanks to its geographical advantage close to Hong Kong Island, Huaqiangbei naturally became the national electronic product wholesale center. At that time, there was no Internet e-commerce, and that was the era of Huaqiangbei...

The pace of the times is like a rolling torrent, day and night.

Some people rely on their keen sense of smell to follow closely and achieve a class leap, but most people are left behind by the times, and realize belatedly that the era they once lived in was so full of gold.

Lin Yerong walked out of the meeting room of [NC Entertainment]. The orange-red sunset outside the window was against the sunset glow, hazy but sad, hanging on the horizon, permeating with an orange-red romance.

Lin Yerong looked up.

He seemed to want to sigh with a poem like [The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is near dusk], but he, who graduated from elementary school, was not so educated after all, so he could only take a look and then kept stroking his heart.

He knew that he was standing at the node of history again.

A year ago, when Zhang Sheng opened the patent for the appearance of iPhone 4, he was just a worker in Huaqiangbei, a 40-year-old who failed in starting a business.

He wanted to grit his teeth and fight again, but because of various family factors such as mortgage, car loan, and children, he gave up that opportunity.

Then...

The opportunity was missed.

He was briefly annoyed and regretful, but more of it was discouraged...

He was already 48 years old, and he had been missing various opportunities since the 1980s...

He missed the most glorious years of Huaqiangbei, when people made a fortune every day. As long as you were willing to work hard, even a fool could earn a building.

He also missed the years when housing prices in Guangzhou soared. He kept waiting for the price to drop, and then he could no longer afford it...

He also missed [Tengji Technology]. In 1998, Zheng Huateng, a gentle-looking young man from [Tengji Technology], rented next door to him. He even met Zheng Huateng and greeted him. The two also had breakfast downstairs together. The other party also warmly invited him to work at [Tengji]...

...

In the years after the millennium, Lin Yerong seemed to be a bystander, missing opportunities again and again... …

He had also worked very hard to start a business, but each time he started a business, it was not smooth. After others had left, he looked around and hesitated to enter the market, and finally became a tragic buyer...

Sometimes he felt that this was fate playing a joke on him, and sometimes he went to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, thinking that it was destined that he could not make money...

Such words of comfort made his restless heart feel a little better, but the increasingly expensive living expenses and housing prices made him feel like a dead dog and couldn't breathe.

In this situation.

He met Xu Bowen in a suit. At first, Xu Bowen came to Huaqiangbei with a group of people to inspect the market. The first store happened to be the one where he worked. He treated Xu Bowen very enthusiastically. Seeing his enthusiasm, Xu Bowen occasionally sat in the store to drink tea and asked about the latest situation in Huaqiangbei. Then, after a few visits, the two sides gradually became familiar with each other.

After getting to know each other, Xu Bowen said that he used to be a security guard...

This shocked Lin Yerong for a long time, and then, for some reason, a flame of entrepreneurship was gradually ignited.

That night, he couldn't sleep all night...

That night, he talked a lot with his wife...

The wife didn't complain, and was very considerate. The next day, she took out her own private money and even some money from her mother's family!

"If you don't have vision, you can just follow people with vision, and be a dog..."

"There's nothing to do at home, so go and make a living!"

At the end of 2010, a word from Lin Yerong's wife made the flame in Lin Yerong's heart burn more vigorously, and then, with the support of his wife, he sold everything he had and bet everything on this "mobile phone bonus".

"Mr. Lin, please choose a patent for appearance... We have designers here to contact you..."

"..."

"Mr. Lin, you don't have to worry about the sales and advertising channels after the mobile phone is produced. We have a relationship with Wang Jiancong, the young master of [Wanda]. For some [Wanda Mall], we have the priority to choose the counter... Our [Qiangsheng Online Mall] can sell it online. At the same time, in terms of advertising, some anchors on our [Jitu Video] live broadcast website are trying to help bring goods. The current test effect is OK..."

"..."

"For your mobile phone lithium battery, you can choose our [Bosch Battery] here. The price is all ex-factory. For the core processor, you can choose the manufacturer in Guangzhou who wholesales with us [Apple 4]. At the same time, we can also purchase some of our accessories overseas. We have authorized manufacturers in Brazil... You can place an order with us now..."

"..."

"After the first batch of mobile phones are assembled, we will undergo special quality inspection and review. I am responsible for this. If the inspection is successful, then OK..."

"..."

"By the way, although we are small, we still have to go through the necessary procedures. Some time ago, the leaders of the National Development and Reform Commission have approved our IOOP mobile phone production license..."

"..."

"Screen, touch, baseband, chip... If you have channels of your own, you can apply for your own channels. If you don't have channels, we can help you get channels at the same purchase price..."

"..."

The sun sets.

The sunset dyes the sky red.

Lin Yerong was sitting in Xu Bowen's office, watching Xu Bowen say a series of words incessantly.

His originally excited mood gradually became a little confused, and finally he couldn't help but look at Xu Bowen: "Mr. Xu, I have a question!"

"you say……"

"You have opened up all the channels for us, so what are we going to do? We just put in money with our legs crossed and wait for the money to come?"

"How is it possible? You want to invest and build the factory anyway. By the way, when it comes to building the factory, we [NC Technology] are willing to subsidize your factory construction fund of 400,000 yuan... Of course, the premise is that you must comply with our requirements and specifications. The money can be approved only after our audit department is satisfied with the construction of the factory..."

"..."

…………………………

In the early morning of April 13th.

[Zhongsheng Mobile] In the conference room.

Ren Kai looked at several domestic mobile phone giants squatting in the conference room.

Every corner of the hazy conference room was filled with the choking smell of cigarette smoke.

The three bosses of [Zhongsheng], [Taomi], and [VIK] kept smoking and remained silent.

Before 2004, the three parties were rivals.

On the track of domestic mobile phones, it is a fight to the death, and the sky is dark and the earth is dark.

Although [Zhongsheng] won, the other two parties also took a bite.

After 2005, the three parties are still rivals, but they are more like a group of unlucky guys who have been beaten by overseas mobile phones and can't find a way to win. They are lingering in the market, relying on their past glory to survive and working as dogs for communication companies.

The age of smartphones…

All three parties are actually coveting this piece of cake.

However, in the past year, due to disagreements within the company, the performance of the three companies in the field of smartphones has not been outstanding.

When I finally want to do something this year!

The sudden release of Zhang Sheng's Apple 4S not only interrupted their rhythm, but also had a profound impact on the entire mobile phone landscape in China.

"Xu Bowen, Zhang Sheng's number one horse boy..."

"In the past six months, he has been active near Yangcheng in Brazil and China. He alone contributed to the [Apple 4] accessory channels..."

"..."

The person in charge of [VIK], Li Dongcheng, has a dry throat.

In the hazy smoke, he coughed violently, and then placed a document on the table.

Several bosses circulated the information to each other, but after reading it, instead of getting better, their faces became even uglier.

The success of [Apple 4] has made an industry chain more mature.

Ordinary people will only tightly cover the industrial chain. After all, this is a way to make money and cannot be made public...

but!

Zhang Sheng has completely disclosed his "chain"!

Those "cottage phone" brands that seek cooperation with Zhang Sheng, from appearance patents, to screens, to various accessories...

They can all get the lowest price through Zhang Sheng's channels, and there are even many foreign components that they can't even get on their [Zhongsheng] mobile phones!

Even if you get it, the price may not be as cheap as Zhang Sheng’s channels...

Although they know about Zhang Sheng's "chain", they don't have any channels for Zhang Sheng to get the goods!

"He wants to tear down the table, and then he will bring a group of people to sit on the table... and make new rules by himself!"

[Zhongsheng]'s Ren Kai's face became increasingly gloomy.

Anyone who is not a fool can realize that they are already on the edge of a cliff. If they don't take a step forward, their market will be swallowed up, and then many competitors will appear for no reason.

Until that moment...

They no longer have the final say in all the rules.

Mobile phone pricing, future trends in mobile phones, definition of mobile phone brands, user preferences...

It’s not them who has the final say!

Just when a few people took a deep breath, another piece of news made them even more painful!

It seems to be the day after tomorrow, which is April 15th...

Xu Linlin from the Ministry of Commerce will take a group of companies to visit Brazil in an "unofficial" manner.

And Zhang Sheng...

It seems that they are going to Brazil together with a group of "local Chinese entrepreneurs".
