Chapter 816 Raiders HTC

"Chairman, we discussed it. Now Symbian has become a sole proprietorship of Nokia, and many mobile phone manufacturers who previously supported Symbian have changed their doors, and many of them have supported our smart multi-star system."

"However, the number of mobile phone manufacturers supporting the Microsoft system is also increasing, with Motorola, HTC, and Suoai as the leaders, and Samsung, LG, etc., supporting the three major systems, and there are many small manufacturers, so we must take action. "

Zhang Yang poured a cup of tea for Duan Yongping: "What are you going to do?"

"Bring together several companies from the Microsoft camp to undermine Microsoft's confidence. Motorola has signed a long-term cooperation agreement with Microsoft and exchanged some equity with each other, so it is very difficult."

"Suoai has always been at odds with us, and it has just announced its support for Microsoft. It is also difficult to win over. We think HTC is the most suitable."

"HTC? Are you sure you're not kidding me? The predecessor of HTC was Dopod, which was the smartphone brand that most supported the Microsoft system at that time, and it also grew bigger step by step by relying on the Microsoft system."

"Now that Microsoft's camp is expanding, why do you think that HTC will support our Zhiduoxing system?" Zhang Yang asked rhetorically.

In fact, in the previous life, HTC supported the Android system later, and it performed well for a time. It's a pity that there was no new idea in the design, and the special system had no special features, so it gradually declined.

"We have studied that the reason why HTC changed its name is to make some changes from the past. The Microsoft system has always been supported by HTC, but their previous mobile phone style is more like BlackBerry."

"HTC isn't great when it comes to touchscreen smartphones. And their share of the smartphone market is declining. Don't they worry about that?"

"They cooperated very closely with Microsoft before, but now that Microsoft has given Motorola better conditions, HTC is going downhill, so they don't want to reverse the situation? Even in the Taiwan market, they are also facing the encirclement and suppression of manufacturers such as BenQ."

BenQ acquired the Ximenzi mobile phone business. Although it has not been fully authorized by the brand, its technical strength is not weak. In addition, BenQ already has a factory and understands design. Once HTC does not pay enough attention, it is likely to be surpassed by BenQ.

BenQ supports the Symbian system, and the development in the past two years is acceptable. The loss of the mobile phone business has been reduced, and there are signs of turning losses into profits.

Motorola has supported both Symbian and Microsoft before. At that time, Motorola was still a shareholder of Symbian.

Zhang Yang smiled: "Do you think that HTC can support us and force Microsoft to give them better conditions? Even if they don't, HTC can develop a special smartphone system based on the Zhiduoxing core, which is not a loss. And Microsoft is temporarily Don’t dare to break face with HTC, otherwise their camp will become weaker.”

Duan Yongping nodded vigorously: "That's right. So we think that HTC is likely to be drawn into our camp. It would be even better if they could break up with Microsoft."

"Although HTC may use this to increase its mobile phone market share and affect the sales of our X3, the profit from mobile phone sales is actually not as good as the profit from system licensing."

Moreover, the risk of making software is smaller, because there is no need to purchase so many raw materials, and the greater cost is labor cost. Once profitable, the profit margin can be higher than that of hardware.

"I want to talk about this matter in person, which is more weighty. And if it succeeds this time, it will also be of great significance to the promotion of our system.

"

"Okay, let's go. For work, you choose a vice president to hand over, and I will be here at the headquarters during this time."

Zhang Yang still has to deal with the delisting of Zhiduoxing Group, and now it is a critical period. Listing is complicated, and delisting is equally complicated.

Zhiduoxing Group adopts the simplest method, which is to repurchase shares continuously, and the general meeting of shareholders decides to delist.

Now we are going through the relevant procedures, and we need to make some compensation to some shareholding institutions and individuals, all of which need to be negotiated.

Today, the global financial market is still at a trough, and many large companies are on the verge of bankruptcy, some are acquired by other companies, some are taken over by the government, and some are trying their best to ensure the company's operations.

At the end of last year, American International Group announced a loss of US$61.7 billion in the fourth quarter, setting a historical record and becoming the last straw that broke the camel's back.

North American car companies will experience another shock this year, and the crisis will continue by then. The subprime mortgage crisis was not over until General Motors filed for bankruptcy protection.

At that time, the major financial companies that survived began to buy stocks of some companies frantically to make up for their previous losses.

At present, many stocks of Zhiduoxing Group are held by subsidiaries, and some are held by Blu-ray Investment. These future operations will be more complicated, but as long as they are delisted, related transactions will not be too difficult.

After Duan Yongping left, Zhang Yang looked at last year's smartphone sales statistics. The annual global mobile phone sales exceeded 1.2 billion units, including about 200 million smartphones.

Forty-five percent use the Symbian system, about 90 million units; 30 percent use the Zhiduoxing system, about 60 million units; 10 percent use the Microsoft system, about two 10 million units; using about 8 percent of the BlackBerry system, 16 million units.

The rest is the Apple system, about 3%, 6 million units. The use of PALM system, about one percent, two million units.

There are also those using other systems, accounting for about 3%, or about 6 million units in sales.

Among them, the Symbian system is mainly Nokia, Samsung, LG, Suoai, BenQ and so on. Those who use the Zhiduoxing system are Zhiduoxing, Samsung, LG, Lianxiang, Wanyan, etc. Motorola, Samsung, LG, HTC, etc. mainly use the Microsoft system.

In terms of smartphone sales, Nokia is still the leader, but its overall share is less than 30%. Zhi Duoxing followed closely behind, with a share of more than 20%.

However, Lianxiang, Wanyan and Apple surprised many people. Even thinking about it, it’s okay to say that I have been making mobile phones for a long time, and I bought Bird, the former boss of China’s mainland. With my own technology, I launched two smart phones, which sold well, with nearly 9 million units.

Wan Yan is a newcomer in the mobile phone industry, and she only makes smart phones. Last year, she sold 8 million units, which is almost able to protect her capital.

However, Apple spent more research and development expenses, and also launched a cheap smartphone at $199. As a result, the final sales volume was only 6 million units, which fell below the glasses of many people. This is obviously a loss.

Others sell less, at least the price is high, and they can make money. Apple’s sales are low, and the price is still low. It’s a loss at all, and it hasn’t made a profit yet. Even colleagues think that it has lowered the grade of smartphones.

Zhang Yang drew two circles on the names of HTC and Apple. One of the goals for this year is to bring HTC into the camp of Zhiduoxing, and the other is to get Apple out of the mobile phone industry!
