NOVEL NEXT Chapter 115
“Shanhai releases the first domestically produced mobile phone operating system, which will be open source for free!”
“Shanhai, the pride of the country, today launched a fully self-developed mobile phone operating system, and its operation interaction is very smooth”
“It cost hundreds of millions of dollars and took several years to build. The first mobile operating system in Dragon Country was born today.”
“Shanhai Chairman Su Chengyang said: Invest 2 billion yuan every year to enter the chip industry and be a pioneer”
“Great courage, a benchmark for the domestic technology industry! Shanhai releases its first operating system, which is very powerful.”
Almost all major online media websites have reported on Shanhai’s release of its first operating system.
As the official mouthpiece, Renmin Daily News praised its Shanhai Technology Company on its official Weibo account, and then major official Weibo accounts came out to praise and commend it.
The operating system is an eternal pain for many Chinese people.
In the past, there were many who claimed to be self-developed, but it turned out that they just changed the shell.
This time, Shanhai’s courage to directly publish the source code was enough to shut up a group of black fans.
While the outside discussion was heated, Su Chengyang organized a dinner party. In addition to Lei Jun, Duan Yongping, Huang Zhan of the Mei clan, and Zhou Guangping were also invited. A total of five people sat down in a hotel box.
The topic of discussion was naturally the smartphone business.
After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere became familiar.
“Everyone”
“I know you are skeptical about the free and open source Shanhai operating system, thinking that it is a long shot to catch a big fish.”
“I can responsibly tell you that Shanhai’s free and open source strategy will not change, and no fees will be charged within ten years. As for what will happen ten years later and what the world situation will be like, I don’t know, but what I can promise is that ten years later, even if Shanhai wants to charge for the operating system, the price per unit will be less than 10 yuan, so you don’t have to worry.”
“I know what you are thinking, Google’s Android is now also free and open source, why choose Shanhai”
“It is easy to understand the technology and who is stronger between Shanhai and Android. Secondly, Shanhai development is simple and easy to use, and the development time can be shortened a lot.”
“The last and most important point is that Shanhai is our own mobile phone operating system in Longguo, while Android is from the United States.”
“Although it is open for use now, what if one day, if Longguo comes into conflict with the United States, and sanctions and suppression are imposed on Longguo companies, and the country is no longer open to Longguo companies, what will happen then?”
“If you choose Shanhai, this problem will not exist, because it is a Longguo enterprise with roots in Longguo.”
“Our ancestors said a very good old saying,”Those who are not of my race must have different hearts.” I think this saying is very suitable for the present. Instead of trusting other countries, it is better to trust our own people!”
After a pause and taking a breath, Su Chengyang looked at the thoughtful people and said with a smile:”Do you think what I said makes sense?”
The people looked at each other.
They had different thoughts.
Compared with mobile phones, Lei Jun was more interested in how Su Chengyang pulled him in. You know, he was an Internet software, game, and investment person, and had nothing to do with mobile phones.
“Mr. Su, are you serious about what you just said?”
After a long silence, Huang Zhan of the Mei clan asked.
Su Chengyang nodded and said seriously:”I am a man of my word, and I will not contradict myself after I say it.”
Huang Zhan nodded.
In fact, he was already a little inclined to Su Chengyang in his heart.
As long as he guaranteed that there would be no fees within ten years, as for what would happen ten years later, who could know? Maybe in ten years, some epoch-making products would be born, and by then, mobile phones might not exist.
Duan Yongyin on the side smiled and raised his glass, and said to Su Chengyang:”Mr. Su is frank and speaks so bluntly, how can I not support you.”
Su Chengyang raised his glass and clinked it with Duan Yongyin, and said with a smile:”Thank you Mr. Duan for your support!”
Although BBK seems to be still a button phone in the mobile phone field and is not very famous, the sales of their two major brands, Blue and Green, are not bad and are among the top in China. Together with the OnePlus mobile phone that was incubated, it can be said that in terms of annual shipments, Xiaomi cannot catch up with the two major brands, Blue and Green.
As the two people expressed their opinions, the atmosphere at the dinner table became more and more lively.
In the end, He Guangping suggested taking a photo as a souvenir.
Su Chengyang thought of the photo of Hang Chengma being neglected, while Pengchengma sat in the middle, with Meituan Wang and Jingdong Daqiangzi on both sides at the Dongxing dinner in Wuzhen in his previous life, and thought it would be interesting to take a photo.
So, several people asked someone to take a photo.
The dinner ended at two o’clock in the afternoon.
Duan Yongqing and Huang Zhan left one after another.
Lei Jun did not rush to leave, but stayed, looking at Su Chengyang with interest, and asked,”Mr. Su, the people you invited are all in the mobile phone industry. It seems that they have nothing to do with me, right? I don’t know why you invited me to this dinner?”
It doesn’t matter?
Pretend.
Do you dare to say that you have no plan to make mobile phones?
I despise someone in my heart.
Su Chengyang looked at Lei Jun with a smile, and did not answer his question, but asked:”Mr. Lei, are you not interested in smart phones, this trillion-dollar market?”
Uh…
Lei Jun laughed.
He asked Su Chengyang, but unexpectedly, Su Chengyang asked him back.
Taking a deep breath, Lei Jun nodded and admitted:”To be honest, I am indeed interested in smartphones.”
“Mr. Lei, how about we work together?”
“Cooperation?”
Leibos looked at Su Chengyang in surprise.
“Mr. Su, what is the cooperation you are talking about?”
Su Chengyang smiled and said,”It’s very simple. You and I will both invest 1 billion, you will invest 600 million, I will invest 400 million, and you will hold 60% of the shares. You and I will cooperate to establish a company specializing in the research and development and manufacturing of smartphones.”
“You also know that the so-called smart phones nowadays cost from five or six thousand to seven or eight thousand, or even tens of thousands. Don’t you think that this price is too high?”
“Well…”Lei Jun was stunned by the question.
He thought, the price is high, but what does it have to do with him?
However, he was somewhat interested in Su Chengyang’s proposal to establish a joint venture.
It’s not about the funds, but if he established a joint venture with Su Chengyang, it would be like having the backing of the mountains and the sea. In this way, he would have a say in the mobile phone operating system.

“These foreign mobile phone manufacturers are simply using us as leeks to harvest, it is simply a huge profit.”
“The reason why I asked people to develop the Shanhai mobile phone operating system is, to a large extent, to break the blockade and reduce the price of smartphones so that everyone can afford smartphones.”
“So I hope to cooperate with Mr. Lei to establish a brand of mobile phones that focuses on cost-effectiveness. What do you think, Mr. Lei?” After saying that, Su Chengyang looked at Lei Jun with a smile on his face. Lei Jun said bluntly :”Mr. Su, I have a question, why did you choose me?
”
“In other words, with your ability, you don’t need to cooperate with others, you can do it yourself.”
“This is a good question.
Su Chengyang showed an approving expression.
“If Shanhai makes mid- and low-end mobile phones, it will be competing with other mobile phone manufacturers, which is not conducive to the promotion of Shanhai’s mobile phone operating system. The reason why I chose Mr. Lei to do it is very simple, because my intuition tells me that Mr. Lei is a good partner.”
………..
Intuition?
Lei Jun was speechless, not knowing what to say.
Speechless.
He also noticed that Su Chengyang mentioned”low-end” mobile phones, not”high-end” mobile phones, which shows that Shanhai has the idea of making mobile phones, but is worried about causing conflicts with other mobile phone manufacturers, thus affecting Su Chengyang’s promotion of”Shanhai Mobile Operating System”.
In addition, he also analyzed why Su Chengyang made Shanhai Mobile Operating System open source, probably to quickly occupy the market and then improve the ecological chain.
Understanding is one thing.
But Lei Jun thinks this is a good thing.
As Su Chengyang said, although Android is free, it is an American company after all. Once there is a conflict between Longguo and the United States, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no problems. Using Shanhai can ensure that similar things will not happen.
Retracting his thoughts, Lei Jun looked at Su Chengyang, smiled and stretched out his hand and said:”Mr. Su, I am interested in the cooperation you mentioned. Happy cooperation!”
Su Chengyang also stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party, his eyes filled with smiles:”Happy cooperation!”
Then, the two talked about the cooperation.
Lei Jun suggested several names for the company. Su Chengyang hesitated for a moment and said,”I think Xiaomi Mobile Phone is more appropriate.””
“Millet?”
“Yes!” Su Chengyang smiled and said,”It’s easy to remember and has a good meaning.”
“I hope that the company can carry forward the spirit of Xiaomi plus rifles, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of fatigue, and move forward courageously.”
Leibs’ eyes lit up and he quickly praised:”This name is good!”
“It’s called Xiaomi.”
So, the cost-effective company in the future smart phone field was quietly born in a few words between the two.
Lei Jun is in charge of the company’s operations and major and minor matters, while Su Chengyang is simply the second largest shareholder. He does not participate in the actual management of the company.
This is also Su Chengyang’s own proposal.
A big reason for his investment in Xiaomi is to establish a stable mountain and sea mobile phone operating system enterprise alliance. The purpose is not to control Xiaomi, so whether or not to have management rights is not very meaningful. Shishi.
