Chapter 1769 Wildfire can't burn
As long as the smartphone market explodes next year, the wave of smartphones will basically be unstoppable. At that time, the entire electronics industry will probably be full of action.
The arrival of the smartphone era is both an opportunity and a challenge for Onyx Technology. With the help of the smartphone wave, Onyx Technology may be able to pull Nokia off the throne of the mobile phone empire and then sit on it.
But there are also risks. The influx of mobile phone brands is destined to weaken the influence of Onyx mobile phones in the industry. It is still unknown which brand can take over Nokia's scepter. Maybe it's a waste of time and it's unknown whether it's a wedding dress for others!
And those who want to get a share of the smartphone wave are not only those big brands, but also all kinds of counterfeit brand phones are also ready to move. Now, the counterfeit phones of Onyx smartphones have appeared on the market. Although they are completely like goods, they have similar shells and are not the same product at all.
But such signs have already appeared, which made Chen Chu have to be alert. Chen Chu has no doubt about the strength of those copycats and pirated merchants. As long as they are given a machine, they can copy a brand...
"Onyx smartphones, as long as they maintain the positioning of high-end brand phones and can maintain the high-end smartphone market, there is no need to worry too much about the impact of other smartphone brands on Onyx technology!" Chen Chu said to Tang Zhouming.
Whether it is a fight with Nokia, competing with Apple, Samsung, etc., Chen Chu is not too worried. Onyx smartphones are currently positioned as high-end brand smartphones, and the price is even higher than Apple.
With this small price, the BiGe of Onyx smartphones has directly surpassed Apple. In order to gain a foothold in the smartphone market, other brands of smartphones will never challenge the status of Onyx smartphones from the beginning. They will definitely focus on the mid- and low-end smartphone market. In this way, Onyx Technology will not have to worry about being challenged in the position of high-end brand mobile phones within at least one or two years!
"Onyx Technology will make the prototype of the second-generation smartphone as soon as possible. After the review is approved, it will be ready to start mass production. This year, the Onyx industry chain must ensure sufficient production capacity. Chuke Technology will coordinate all resources to promote Onyx's second-generation smartphones!"
Chen Chu's words made Tang Zhouming a little embarrassed. This year, Onyx's first-generation smartphones were sold, but they often happened. The outside world questioned that Onyx Technology and Apple were playing hunger marketing, but in fact they were not.
The production process of smartphones is naturally a bit difficult than that of fully mature feature phones. In addition, Onyx Technology's key components, chips, cameras, screens, etc. are all produced by itself, which has further affected the production capacity. Of course, Apple is not much better. Apple is all OEM processing and is still integrating the industrial chain, and its production capacity is even worse than Onyx Technology.
"This year Onyx Technology has added parts suppliers and has placed orders in advance to the entire Onyx industry chain, but..."
After gritting his teeth, Tang Zhouming said, "The production process of Onyx-2 smartphones is much higher than that of the first generation. The process of N1 dual-core processors is currently unstable, so the production capacity may be insufficient in the early stages of the release next year!"
If you can't produce it, you can't make it. Tang Zhouming can't transform this thing, especially this time, Onyx smartphone also used the world's first dual-core processor N1, which sounds high-end, but the production capacity of this processor is really unstable and the pass rate is not high. If it weren't for Onyx Technology's own development, Tang Zhouming would definitely look down on it.
Chen Chu nodded. He also knew Tang Zhouming's difficulties, but Chen Chu set a goal for Onyx Technology that the shipment of Onyx smartphones next year will account for more than 5% of the global mobile phone shipment, which requires Onyx to sell at least 50 million units next year.
No matter whether you can sell so many machines or just produce so many machines, it is probably enough to have a drink in the entire Onyx industry chain.
After looking at Tang Zhouming, Chen Chu suddenly asked, "How is the cooperation between Onyx Technology and Xiaomi?"
Tang Zhouming was surprised, and the people in the entire small conference room were also puzzled. He didn't know how Chen Chu mentioned Rebs on such an occasion.
After sending Kingsoft to the market, Rebus, who fulfilled his long-cherished wish, successfully retired from Kingsoft, and this time there was no dormant thing.
With the support of Chen Chu and Onyx Technology, Rebs has been smooth sailing into the mobile phone industry, and even the office buildings are in the Onyx Technology Industrial Park.
Rebs established Xiaomi, which is known as "born for fever", and has developed very rapidly. With the support of Onyx Technology, systems, parts, patents, and even directly used onyx industrial chain production. It is expected that Xiaomi will also release its first product next year. This speed is definitely envious of many competitors.
I don’t know why Chen Chu suddenly mentioned Rebs, but Tang Zhouming still said, “Xiaomi is developing very rapidly. It is expected to be released next year, focusing on cost-effectiveness, and it has little impact on Onyx phones!”
Onyx Technology supports Xiaomi and will definitely not let Xiaomi compete with it. Supporting Xiaomi is the right way to deal with those counterfeit machines. Only when the price of the counterfeit machines is sold is lower than that of those counterfeit machines, can it be dealt with those people. Of course, it will also deal with those friendly companies by the way. I just don’t know if Rebs will shout the deafening quote again, “Friends are…”
Chen Chu just mentioned it and didn't say much, but he was still kept in mind by Tang Zhouming. He felt that Chen Chu seemed to be very concerned about Rebs.
However, at today's meeting, Rebs and Xiaomi were just an episode. In addition to SG Games, Renren Technology, and Onyx Technology, many departments also need to report.
Meituan is still in a money-burning war, and now the group buying market is gradually becoming a three-legged trend. Chuke supports Meituan, SoftBank and other venture capitalists support Lashou.com. Google's shit-making stick silently sends ammunition to Dianping, making Dianping and Meituan popular.
"Meituan's market share this year is expected to reach about 40%. Lashou.com accounts for more than 23% of the market, and Dianping accounts for 18% of the market. In addition, there are Nuomi.com, Gaopeng, Wowotuan and other group buying companies. However, Meituan is preparing to end the group buying market war next year!"
Facing a group of Chuke executives and Wang Yan, who is in charge of Meituan, talked about Meituan’s situation to Chuke executives. Of course, the data is quite good. Meituan merchants and users are spread across first- and second-tier cities, and the daily active users are almost exceeding six million, but they just don’t make money and lose a lot of money.
After getting investments in Chuke, KPCB, Sequoia and others, Meituan increased its energy and spent money in the second half of the year, and finally occupied half of the group buying market.
However, this money-burning war is far from over. Lashou.com does not want to admit defeat. Dianping, which is located in a remote corner, is still deeply engaged in the market in the Shanghai-Hangzhou area, and joins Ele.me, which secretly engages in takeout, occupy a considerable part of the market.
Meituan’s goal next year is to kill Lashou.com so that Meituan can unify the domestic group buying website. As for Dianping and Ele.me, the two competitors of the group buying and takeaway market, Wang Yan doesn’t care about it for the time being. He needs to first pull down Lashou.com, which wants to prepare for listing.
On Meituan, no one can tell whether the group buying war will end next year. The key is that the threshold for this industry is too low. A large number of group buying websites have fallen by the end of this year, but it is like wildfires cannot be burned out. In the blink of an eye, hundreds or thousands of group buying companies have emerged. However, Meituan still has a certain advantage now.
After the reports from other Autohomes, Bing Search, Yifu and other departments, the sky had dizzy and Chen Chu felt a little dizzy, and this year's year-end meeting was finally over.
Overall, Chuke's technology has been soaring this year, with major industries storming across the board, and their performance has soared. Even if there are some problems, it will be a flaw but not a concealment of the merits.
Under the gaze of the conference room, Chen Chu signed a name on a document, and all revenue, personnel transfers, funding reviews, etc. were passed, marking that all the plans of Chuke Technology this year have been completed!
Putting the pen aside, Chen Chu stood up and looked at the crowd, "Thank you for everything you have done for Chu Ke this year. I hope to meet you again at this time next year. This year's year-end bonus, dividends, and rewards have been reviewed by Chu Ke Technical Headquarters, and major departments can distribute them at any time!"
"Everyone can leave Yanjing after watching this year's Chuke New Year's Eve meeting!"
Amid the applause in the conference room, Chen Chu also went to the lounge next to him with fatigue. After the past two days, Chen Chu felt a little overwhelmed, but Chu Ke’s work was finally completed this year.
When Wu Xingdao came to Chen Chu's lounge, deafening cheers came from the SG Games headquarters where the conference room was today. It was obviously the year-end bonus, dividends and various prizes had already begun to be distributed.
At this time, all major departments of Chuke were basically the same scene. Whether it was domestic or foreign departments, there were basically cheers, and it was unlucky for other companies that worked in the same building as Chuke's department, and it was probably going to usher in another wave of resignation.
When Chen Chu saw Wu Xing coming in, he asked him to sit down and said directly, "In a few days, I will leave Yanjing and accompany Molu back to Anyang. How much trouble do you have to worry about Yanjing!"
In the past few days, after Chen Chu visited the old man of the Qin family, Professor Yang Yuanming and others, he was basically leaving and would not stay in Yanjing for a long time. Moreover, it may take some time to return to Yanjing next year. Although modern offices only require a computer and an internet cable, Chen Chu will definitely deal with major issues in Anyang, but some things must be handled in person in Yanjing, so Wu Xingdao and others need to deal with them.
