Chapter 503 Blue Factory on the Road
"Mr. Shen has a question, but I'm not sure if I should ask it!"
"If there's anything we can do to help, we'll definitely help you via telepathy."
Having just acquired the shares, Shen Fei was clearly in a good mood and readily agreed.
"We became friends through a misunderstanding, so I would like to ask your company to grant us certain patents so that we can better develop Android full-screen tablets."
This will also help to better promote the relevant standards, allowing your company to sell screens faster.
"Of course we can authorize it! That's the price we have to pay!"
Faced with Shen Fei's ambiguous answer, Sundar Pichai panicked once again. Oh no, was this skinflint Shen Fei eyeing his shares again?
As he listened to the laughter that gradually came from the other end of the phone, he became more and more convinced that this was the answer.
"Everything is negotiable except for the shares."
"Then there's nothing more to discuss."
After saying that, Shen Fei hung up the phone. Zhang Mingzhu, who was next to him, asked curiously:
"What is it?"
"They want us to develop full-screen Android devices for them, but they don't want to give up any equity."
"Mr. Shen, if we make another move, Google will truly become our private property!" Liu Zhihong said with a smile.
"If they don't even have voting rights, what kind of private property are they?"
Liu Zhihong and his group continued to chuckle, since they hadn't really been thinking about voting rights; they were content with just the right to share in the profits.
As for the soybean sprouts, they've already started calculating over there: 5.5% of the shares, which, based on the current market value, is roughly over 300 billion US dollars!
This is a huge profit.
"Alright, what are you all so smug about? Don't be too happy yet."
Shen Fei waved his hand again, drawing everyone's attention to the next document.
"Now that I've received everything I bought, this matter should be over."
But you should also understand that our real battle is yet to come.
Google and Silver Lake have become scapegoats, but that doesn't mean America will back down.
The implementation of the Taishan Ecological project must be accelerated.
How's the preparation for the new phones from Vivo going?
"Everything's arranged; the official announcement should be coming soon!"
Liu Zhihong quickly replied.
"Blue Factory was initially a bit hesitant, fearing that the aftermath of the attack would not subside and the new device would be targeted upon its release."
After learning the news, Shen Wei immediately made a decision, saying that it was precisely at this time that they could not back down.
……
At 10 a.m. on May 18, in the conference room of the Lan Factory headquarters building in Dongguan, the two sides were still clearly divided.
This is what the radicals believe is that they should increase publicity more at this time, since Transsion has already given them a free opportunity, and they shouldn't refuse it.
Another source suggested caution, suggesting that Transsion should be chosen over Blue Factory, as they could not withstand the wrath of the United States.
After suffering such a huge loss, they definitely need to seek compensation from certain people, and Blue Factory will certainly be targeted if they stand up at this time.
As a result of these viewpoints, the marketing department, the security department, and the product department have been arguing for three days.
At this final moment, the head of the security department said once again:
"Mr. Shen, although it's only been less than an hour, I still stand by my opinion."
Transsion was just attacked by a national-level cyberattack a few days ago, and the Taishan system was the primary target.
Our first flagship phone equipped with the Taishan system is about to be launched. If the other side also exploits vulnerabilities in our system, our product reputation will be completely ruined.
"How about we wait another half month, until things calm down?"
"slow?"
Before anyone else could speak, Shen Wei, who was sitting at the main table, was the first to slam his hand on the table.
"In another two weeks, the market enthusiasm will be gone."
Now is the time when users have the most confidence in the Taishan system, and we must strike while the iron is hot.
"Isn't America taking such a huge risk just to stop us?"
Everyone present nodded in agreement. After all, the purpose of using such methods was to frighten these partners and prevent them from using the Taishan system.
Therefore, we cannot grant their wish.
Before the conservatives could come up with a rebuttal, Shen Wei tapped the table again:
"This phone is not just about having the Taishan system; it's a game-changer for our reputation."
After that, the phone's specifications appeared on the big screen, which basically means this phone is a no-go for Transsion.
Last year's Taishan 710 enhanced version chip has been further upgraded based on Honor's adjustment depth.
There's no need to elaborate on how luxurious this chip is; it uses a 14nm process, has an eight-core CPU, and they tuned it to score 5.6.
Although it can't compare to the Taishan 9 series and Kirin 9 series, it is indeed much more conscientious than the previous X series from Vivo in the mid-to-high-end market.
Other features include Transsion's high-density batteries, Transsion's screens, and Transsion's large-sensor lenses.
This can be said to be the phone with the highest Chinese content ever made by Vivo.
"Why not play such a good hand?"
"Our publicity department has applied for an additional 30% in publicity and distribution funds. We're sure we can improve our reputation by then!" the publicity minister said.
"Approved." Shen Wei nodded.
"The two spokespeople we initially chose weren't enough, so we're adding another one."
If you could invite a young heartthrob from the film industry, a top star from the television industry, and a nationally renowned female singer to be the three spokespeople, and announce them all at the same time, then the entire platform would be flooded with their advertisements.
They put the offline posters right at my door.
I want everyone to know that Blue Factory's x Shot is even more powerful!
Everyone present was stunned for a moment upon hearing the propaganda minister's bold idea.
After all, hiring three top celebrities to endorse a product at the same time would cost more than 30% of the product's value.
But no one raised any objections, not even some of those who had previously been at odds with the Minister of Publicity.
Because they understand that some money should be spent, because this is not just about selling phones, but also about starting the transformation of Vivo.
After all, if we don't push higher and allow Transsion and Huawei to complete the blockade, things could get really bad.
……
At 10:00 AM sharp, the official Weibo account, website, and other platform accounts of the Blue Factory all made the official announcement.
[Lanchang x Shot Officially Released!]
It is equipped with the Taishan 710 enhanced flagship chip and the Taishan operating system.
14nm process at full performance for ultimate smoothness!
The legendary slim flagship continues its legacy. Available across all channels on May 20th. Give your loved one a personalized phone.
Below are three brand ambassadors, all of whom immediately retweeted the official Weibo post.
#Blue Factory x Shot#
"Am I seeing things? It really is a 710, not a 620? Vivo has really changed its tune!"
"Mom! The phone manufacturer you care about has finally changed."
"I thought that after the Taishan system was attacked, Blue Factory would wait and see, but I didn't expect them to release it directly. With this determination, they deserve to make a fortune."
