Chapter 467 Mobile Phone Fingerprint Recognition Function

After hearing that, Mr. Lei nodded. The point mentioned by Zhou Feng is indeed very important. Although it is early 2012, there are still many people in China who have never used or even know what a smart phone is, even those of many manufacturers in the mobile phone industry. Advertising is all about owning your first smart phone.

You can’t even use smartphones, not to mention downloading and installing and registering to use WeChat. The learning process during this period can be as short as a few minutes or as long as several months. Just like when WeChat came out two years ago, Fang Zhe bought a smartphone for his parents and taught them how to use it, and he also spent half an hour "training" them on WeChat.

"Azhe, why do you still make a difference in price? The pre-installed price of Redmi is 1 yuan, and the pre-installed price of Xiaomi is only 80 cents!" Lin Xiaobin, who looked at the cooperation plan, suddenly raised his head and asked.

Before Fang Zhe could speak, Mr. Lei answered his question first: "Did you not hear what others say? The pre-installed WeChat is to reduce the learning period of users. Obviously they think that our Redmi phones are more pre-installed than Xiaomi phones. Necessity!"

When Mr. Lei said this, Lin Xiaobin already understood what he meant, but Zhou Feng, who was sitting next to Fang Zhe, explained:

"This is Mr. Lin. When we were doing market research, we also investigated the models used by users. At present, the WeChat installation ratio of low-end models is 5 lower than that of mid-to-high-end models. More than a percentage point, so."

When Zhou Feng said this, Mr. Lei interrupted: "So now our Redmi users are more valuable to you!"

Zhou Feng nodded and agreed with Mr. Lei.

Mr. Lei turned his head and looked at Lin Xiaobin, then turned around after getting a confirmed look, smiling at the other Zhe and said:

"I originally wanted to discuss the terms with you, Mr. Fang, but now it seems that you, the chief consultant, are indeed competent enough. Anyway, Xiaobin and I are very satisfied with this plan. I believe I will get it on the board of directors. It's also easy to pass."

At this time, Mr. Lei and Lin Xiaobin felt that the cooperation plan proposed by the other party and Huizhong was convincing.

It is mentioned in the plan that Huizhong plans to pre-install WeChat in 500 million Xiaomi series phones in the next three years, including 100 million Xiaomi phones and 400 million Redmi phones. The pre-installed price of Xiaomi phones is 0.8 yuan each. The pre-installed price of the Redmi mobile phone is 1 yuan per unit, and the pre-installed price in the future will be dynamically adjusted according to the market price in the industry.

The pre-installed quantity of 500 million mobile phones!Based on the current contract price alone, Xiaomi can directly bring in revenue of 480 million yuan!

The cost that Xiaomi needs to pay is almost zero!

At the moment, the domestic mobile phone industry is still in the era of warlords. Various mobile phone manufacturers, large and small, are spread all over the country. Pre-installation of mobile phone software is also an open profit method for this industry. Even some rogue mobile phone manufacturers use mobile phones to make money. Dozens of software are pre-installed at the factory.

Nowadays, the general price of pre-installed mobile phone software on the market is 30 cents to 1 yuan, and the WeChat pre-installed price given by Huizhong is already the highest price in the industry.

Considering the popularity of WeChat in smartphones, even if WeChat is not pre-installed, most Xiaomi mobile phone users will go to the app store to download WeChat, which means that pre-installing WeChat will not have any adverse impact on Xiaomi’s reputation and brand. On the contrary, users are likely to be grateful to Xiaomi for helping them save the trouble of installing WeChat. Overall, the cooperation between Huizhong and Xiaomi is equivalent to giving Xiaomi money for nothing!

Thinking clearly about the pros and cons, Mr. Lei joked with joy on his face:

"Azhe, I know that you are generous, but I didn't expect you to be so optimistic about our Xiaomi's shipments, 500 million mobile phones in three years, then we Xiaomi will go straight to the top of the industry!"

Obviously, although Mr. Lei at this time believes that Xiaomi’s future development will be very good, he obviously does not dare to be so arrogant that Xiaomi can be the first in the industry. According to his expectations, Xiaomi can be the top 3 in the industry. It's already a big deal.

Fang Zhe showed a smile on his face and said, "Since there is no problem with the plan, you can sign the contract directly with Zhou Feng. I am here today, in fact, there is another matter to discuss with the two of you, Mr. Lei and Mr. Lin."

At the end of Fang Zhe's words, Zhou Feng and the others in the reception room had already got up and left the reception room, leaving only Fang Zhe, President Lei and Lin Xiaobin.

After the door of the reception room was closed again, Mr. Lei asked jokingly: "What is the secret? I also said that I will talk about the small matter of WeChat pre-installation cooperation. Why bother you to drive yourself!"

Fang Zhe picked up the tea cup in front of him and took two sips. He also joked: "Didn't you say that Xiaomi is going to be the first in the industry? I have a way here. I don't know if Lei always feels not interested?"

"call!"

In an instant, the panting voices of President Lei and Lin Xiaobin became a little thicker. Both of them opened their eyes wide and pricked their ears, waiting for Fang Zhe's next words.

However, Fang Zhe deliberately didn't agree with the old god who was sitting there, seeing Mr. Lei and Lin Xiaobin in their hearts.

Mr. Lei showed a wry expression on his face and said: "Well, this time I and Xiaomi owe you a favor. If Azhe, you can really propose a plan to make Xiaomi the number one in the industry, then you are the number one in our Xiaomi company. Great hero, whether it's shares or other conditions, you can mention it casually!"

Fang Zhe shrugged and shook his head and said, "Forget it, why do I want so many shares in Xiaomi? Guanghuizhong is enough for me to get tired!"

Fang Zhe’s answer moved Lei and Lin Xiaobin very much. To be honest, both of them and many entrepreneurs and executives within Xiaomi believe that Fang Zhe’s chief consultant’s contribution to Xiaomi is not the greatest, but it must be Among the top ones.

From planning the establishment of Xiaomi, to investing in the start-up capital needed for Xiaomi’s start-up, to Xiaomi’s major strategic decisions, Fang Zhe’s contribution to Xiaomi is unparalleled. In contrast, Fang Zhe personally owns only 0.5% of Xiaomi’s shares. The 19% of Xiaomi shares held by Huizhong is also the shares that Huizhong deserves as a shareholder to invest in Xiaomi.

Fang Zhe didn’t notice the emotional changes of President Lei and Lin Xiaobin. He bowed his head and picked up a pen on the table, and wrote a line of English on the blank paper beside him: "AuthenTec"

Immediately, Fang Zhe picked up this finger and pointed it towards the two of Lei and Lin Xiaobin who were sitting opposite.

When the two looked at this strange English word, Lei always asked in a puzzled manner: "What is this?"

Lin Xiaobin asked with some uncertainty: "Tec should be the abbreviation of Technology, and it is also a common company name suffix in foreign countries. Authen should be the name of this company."

"What company is this?" Mr. Lei asked. At this moment, Mr. Lei wanted Fang Zhe not to go around and tell him how to make Xiaomi the number one in the industry, but obviously, Fang Zhe wanted to lose his appetite.

"A foreign company that does fingerprint recognition technology!" Fang Zhe replied slowly.
