The next day, Lianxiang Group announced that they will launch a "self-developed" tablet computer in the second quarter.

Being able to complete the research and development of tablet PCs so quickly surprised other PC manufacturers. Just the technology of a product's internal architecture is enough for them to be busy for several months.

There are also appearance patents, system development, etc., which cannot be completed within a year. In addition, the test after successful research and development will definitely not be launched until next year. How can it be completed so quickly?

There is only one possibility, Lian Xiang purchased the technology authorization from Zhi Duoxing Group. What about the authorization you bought, what about independent research and development, do you want to be ashamed? !

Immediately, other PC manufacturers contacted Zhiduoxing again. They had consulted about patent licensing before, but they were rejected by Zhiduoxing Group.

Since one company can be authorized, can the second company be authorized? The more you authorize, the more you earn.

Zhiduoxing Group did not directly refuse, but the conditions proposed were very harsh. It felt that they produced tablet computers, and most of the profits were made by Zhiduoxing Group, and they became OEM assemblers.

So those PC manufacturers also continued to contact Zhiduoxing while doing research and development. Technical patents that cannot be purchased for hardware must at least be authorized for software, right?

Among those PC manufacturers, there were still some who had not joined the Zhiduoxing Alliance before, and they immediately applied to join this time. Those who joined also want to get the tablet computer system authorization of Zhiduoxing as soon as possible, so that they can develop their own tablet computer system.

At this time, Microsoft also announced that they will launch an operating system suitable for tablet computers for major manufacturers to choose from.

Zhang Yang didn't care about this at all. There is a big problem with several Microsoft operating systems, that is, the space and memory occupied by the system are very large, and it will be very difficult to shrink it.

What's more, the system has not been developed yet, and naturally there will be no corresponding application software. These Zhiduoxing system platforms are all ready-made.

When Microsoft solves these problems, it may pose a threat to the Zhiduoxing system. What's more, Microsoft's smartphone operating system is now in decline.

Is it to keep the current product market share, or to enter a new field of competition? No matter how he chooses, Zhang Yang doesn't care, the winner must be Zhi Duoxing.

However, apart from those irrelevant hardware manufacturers, representatives of two manufacturers could not directly refuse.

Jiang Wanmeng sat across from Zhang Yang: "Director Zhang, Wanyan's major shareholders are Zhiduoxing Education Fund and Zhiduoxing Group. Since you agreed to authorize, why did you reject me before?"

"I needed some patented technologies owned by Lianxiang, so I agreed to authorize him. But you don't have to worry, you can do some product development and design now, and I will agree to authorize Wanyan in the fourth quarter at the latest."

In this way, Wan Yan will test something again, and it will definitely not be launched on the market until next year, and it will not violate the contract between Zhiduoxing and Lianxiang.

Zhi Duo Xing must not be able to eat this piece of cake all by himself, so it is of course better to find some allies to join.

Jiang Wanmeng got a satisfactory answer, got up to leave, and the mobile phone on Zhang Yang's desk rang just in time, and it was Kurishenko's video call.

"Zhang, it's just that I didn't attend the banquet of Zhiduoxing Group. You didn't tell me about such a big thing as tablet technology authorization." Kurishenko complained.

"Why, Moscow Electronics is not satisfied with notebooks and all-in-one computers, but also wants to make tablet computers?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.

"Of course I want to make one more product. Whatever conditions you can think about, I can do whatever I want. Now that the growth of the PC business is slowing down, and it may even go backwards, I have to develop a new product line. .”

Kurishenko was a little depressed. When he joined the PC industry, the market was on the rise, and sales were increasing every year. But last year, the growth rate suddenly slowed down, and this year it will even drop.

There is no reason for the market to be saturated so quickly. Obviously, there are still many areas where PCs are not popularized. There are several reasons. One is that Moscow Electronics does not have a desktop computer, and the biggest market is missing; the other is that because of the global economic downturn, many people who planned to buy PCs have given up; finally, the emergence of tablet computers has taken away the popularity of netbooks. market share.

"Even if you want to have the patented technology I want, you don't have it. But you are also an old friend, and you are also a shareholder of Zhiduoxing Group. I can promise you the same conditions as Wanyan, and the relevant patents will be released in the fourth quarter at the latest. Authorized to you."

"You do some research and development now, so that you can launch tablet PCs early next year, at least one or two months ahead of other manufacturers."

What else could Kurishenko say? Who told him not to have the patent that Zhang Yang wanted? Besides, the batteries he sold to Zhang Yang were all at the market price, but there was a priority supply clause.

"Okay, then I'll ask someone to study it first. Can my tablet be sold in the Chinese market?" Kurishenko asked again.

"Of course, your products are welcome to enter the Chinese market, we compete fairly."

Anyway, in the Chinese market, it is impossible to even think about Zhiduoxing's opponent, let alone Moscow Electronics, which costs more. If it is really urgent, Zhang Yang only needs to lower the price to make other brand manufacturers lose money.

With the improvement of technology, the performance of the product will become stronger and stronger, but the selling price will continue to decrease, and the related research and development costs will also decrease, but the profit margin will not decrease.

Now the production cost of a tablet computer is only more than 200 US dollars, plus the sales costs such as transportation and publicity, plus the money to agents and retailers, a zhiduoxing can have a net profit of 100 US dollars.

More than 10 million units were sold last year, which is a net profit of more than one billion US dollars. After Lianxiang's tablet computer goes on the market this year, the retail price can be slightly lowered, but the profit margin will not be reduced much because the production cost has also been reduced.

Now a smart phone can easily cost thousands of RMB, while in the previous life a smart phone could be bought for less than one thousand RMB.

Zhang Yang is also going to let Zhiduoxing launch a cheap smartphone, but some important parameters cannot be reduced, such as memory, CPU, camera, etc.

In order to increase the sales of smart phones, especially smart phones. Smartphones will explode this year, occupying a higher and higher share of the mobile phone market, but traditional feature phones are still mainstream.

Wait until two years from now, when 4G technology begins to roll out, and the smartphone spring will truly arrive, when traditional feature opportunities rapidly fade until they become obsolete.

But Zhang Yang didn't pay attention to this matter personally. He flew to Silicon Valley again, this time for a big event.
