Reborn multinational giant

Seeing that Mr. Lei and Lin Xiaobin had already listened to what they were saying, Fang Zhe continued to emphasize:

"This year's Huami mobile phone conference is an important opportunity for Xiaomi to enter the high-end mobile phone market. If we miss this opportunity, we don't know when we will wait for the next opportunity.

In the past, Xiaomi's business was mainly concentrated in low-end mobile phones. After the release of Huami phones, Samsung's high-end phones and Apple phones will become Xiaomi's direct competitors.

Even if we make another concession this time, who can guarantee that Apple will not threaten us in the future? Does it mean that every time the Huami mobile phone is released in the future, we will eat the leftover from Apple?"

Fang Zhe’s deafening remarks awakened Lei and Lin Xiaobin. They subconsciously felt that Apple was irresistible and did not want to offend Apple. However, as long as Xiaomi wants to be a high-end mobile phone and Xiaomi releases a Huami phone, it will inevitably become a competitor of Apple. Making compromises and concessions to competitors is the greatest stupidity!

Mr. Lei looked at Fang Zhe with a grateful look. He knew that his trust in Fang Zhe was not wrong. If he didn’t call Fang Zhe today, but rashly agreed to Apple’s request, I’m afraid the Huami mobile phone press conference and Xiaomi The dream of entering high-end mobile phones has been completely wiped out!

"By the way, when is the Huami mobile phone conference scheduled?" Fang Zhe suddenly asked, coming here just thinking about rejecting Apple. In fact, he, a busy man, still doesn't know when the Huami conference will be.

"August 28th", we only announced the news the day before yesterday, but today that David came to the door!

Fang Zhe chuckled slightly, no wonder, as usual, Apple's press conferences are in mid-September. If Huami phones steal the limelight, what else is there to watch for the Apple press conference?

Fang Zhe rolled his eyes and said slyly: "You'd better be prepared. If Apple also advances the conference time, we will follow it!"

Mr. Lei and Lin Xiaobin looked at each other, Lin Xiaobin said: "This is not so good, isn't that why you are blatantly facing Apple?"

Fang Zhe gave him an angry look and said: "Anyway, it's all offended, and it's not much worse. Think about it, if we release fingerprint recognition technology before the iphone5s, what kind of sensation and impact will it cause in the industry? , Huami mobile phone stepped on iphone5s, it will be an instant hit!"

Mr. Lei and Lin Xiaobin were in each other's hearts. They didn't expect that Fang Zhe would still be able to talk and laugh like this in the face of a behemoth like Apple. Mr. Lei asked with some worry: "Huizhong is there."

"Okay! Don't worry about me. I'm not a fool. I don't have the confidence to challenge Apple. On the contrary, it is you. Xiaomi has begun to move towards the world. The mentality of both of you is still a bit daunting. There are a few CEOs of the company who look forward to the future.

Not to mention anything else, just say that David, the president of Apple's Greater China region, will be placed in Xiaomi, at most a vice president, which round will get him to be arrogant and gesticulate in front of you!"

President Lei and Lin Xiaobin have wry smiles on their faces. So, Huizhong is a veritable top multinational company. You naturally have this confidence. But Xiaomi, although it has achieved remarkable development in 4 years, its foundation is too weak. One patent lawsuit is enough for Xiaomi to drink a pot!

Seeing the helpless expressions of both Lei and Mr. Fang, Fang Zhe put his hands on their shoulders and said: "I know that our millet has been established for a short time and has taken the civilian route. It has neither saved much profit nor How much does it cost to research and develop patents, but in international competition, patent warfare is a common means of competition, so no matter how hard it is, Xiaomi has to work hard on this matter.

Fortunately, if the Huami mobile phone is released smoothly this time, Xiaomi’s pocketbook will be able to expand a bit in the future. In addition, I think that Xiaomi’s and Samsung’s Apple’s competition must be prepared for a protracted battle. Eyes are on the mobile phone field."

President Lei and Lin Xiaobin looked at each other and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I remember that in addition to mobile phones, Xiaomi also made headsets, mobile power supplies and other mobile phone peripherals, right?" Fang Zhe asked rhetorically.

Lin Xiaobin explained: "Earphones, mobile power, data cables, we all make them, these are the supporting products of mobile phones, we must do these for sure!"

Fang Zhe clapped his hands: "That's right, in addition to these, Xiaomi's product line will have to continue to expand in the future, from TV computers, watch air conditioners, all common electronic products in life, Xiaomi should gradually be involved!"

Mr. Lei and Lin Xiaobin looked at each other. According to Fang Zhe, Xiaomi’s stall was too big, wouldn’t it become a grocery store?

Before the two of Lei asked, Fang Zhe asked first:

"I ask you, what do you think will be the future trends in the mobile phone industry, hardware industry, and Internet industry in the next ten or even twenty years?"

The two were silent for a moment, and replied thoughtfully:

"In the mobile phone industry, large-screen mobile phones are a trend."

"In the future, with the popularization of 4G and 5G, the speed of mobile phones will definitely be faster."

"There are also AR, VR, wearable devices, smart homes, the Internet of Things, driverless, artificial intelligence, this has to be said one by one, three days and three nights can not be finished!"

Lin Xiaobin said like a few treasures.

"On the whole, the three industries of mobile phones, hardware, and the Internet are becoming more and more closely connected. Even in the future Internet of Things era, all things, including furniture, TVs and air conditioners, will be connected to the Internet!" Mr. Lei understood this. What does Fang Zhe mean.

"So do you understand what I mean?" Fang Zhe asked.

Lei and Lin Xiaobin nodded at the same time and said, "I see, what you mean is that our competition with Samsung and Apple will extend from the mobile phone field to the future smart home, wearable devices and even the entire Internet of Things field!"

Fang Zhe smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, in the mobile phone industry, Xiaomi and Samsung, Apple and other established giants are too far behind, but in the emerging smart home, wearable devices, and the Internet of Things, Xiaomi is on the same side with them. On a starting line, if we don’t hurry up the layout now, we may face the same lagging gap as the mobile phone industry in the future!"

"President Fang, we all understand what you said. In fact, as early as this year's IT summit, after you and Baidu President Li had debated on wearable devices, there was a voice within Xiaomi that hoped that Xiaomi could also enter these areas.

However, Mr. Lei and I both believe that success can only be achieved by focusing. Xiaomi should focus on mobile phones. If there are too many products, I am afraid that nothing can be done well!Lin Xiaobin thought about it and explained.

Fang Zhe nodded in agreement, and said: "It is true that many times only focus can be successful, but this time is different. Think about it, even in the future smart home and the rise of the Internet of Things, in addition to mobile phones, what other devices will become the whole The core equipment and carrier of the network?"

"So you mean, use the core mobile phone business to create a smart Internet of Things around mobile phones?" Lei asked.

"It's almost the same. The core mobile phone business must be in the hands of Xiaomi, while other mobile phone peripherals, smart home products, can invest in supporting a group of startup companies.

Or cooperate with established companies in these fields to help them intelligentize their current TVs, air conditioners and other products to connect to the Internet of Things with Xiaomi mobile phones as the core, and create a smart Internet of Things around Xiaomi phones!"
