Chapter 402 Counterfeit Phone Saves Android?
Shen Lang also secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he got the payment license. Although he heard the news in advance from some channels, it still has to wait until the announcement is made before the dust settles.

With a third-party payment license, Shen Lang has no worries about making offline payments.

On the other hand, Brother Xiao Ma and Jack Ma also realized that if the market share of Android phones does not increase, Qxin Pay and Alipay will only be under the pressure of WeChat Pay in the field of offline payment.

So, Brother Xiao Ma and Jack Ma found Jelson almost at the same time.

"You mean that you want me to acquire some mobile phone manufacturers to increase the market share of Android phones in the mainland?" Jelson looked embarrassed. It's not that Google doesn't make mobile phones. In fact, Google is also producing mobile phones. not so good.

Acquiring mobile phone manufacturers requires a lot of money and management, which is too expensive for Google, and the gain outweighs the gain.

Brother Xiao Ma said seriously: "Mr. Jason, you have seen the current situation. We are facing a very powerful enemy together. Believe me, it is far stronger than Nokia. If we can't keep up with it at this stage I hope you can understand that there will be no room for the Android system in the mainland market in the future!"

Jelson is a little distressed. He has already spent a lot of money on Google. Although he has achieved some results, this performance is too inferior compared to the international market. Google executives don't trust him so much. At this time, he will apply for a new one. With a lot of money, it's hard to say whether he can secure the position of president of Huaxia District.

But what Xiao Ma said is not unreasonable. Shen Lang's offline payment strategy will further expand the advantages of the Star system. The current smartphone market in the mainland is still expanding. If Android can't keep up with the speed of Star, there will be problems It must be more severe than it is now.

Jack Ma also put pressure on Jelson: "If Google can't make a decision in the near future, I will consider returning to the star camp!"

Of course, this is Jack Ma's trick to scare Jelson, but if the Android system is doomed to fail, Jack Ma will not sink with this broken ship. It seems insignificant.

Jack Ma's statement really shocked Jelson. Once Ali is lost, the Android system will be even more difficult to move forward in the mainland.

Jelson had no choice but to say: "The acquisition of a mobile phone manufacturer will cost a lot of money, and I am not in charge. However, I will report the situation to the headquarters immediately, and I believe there will be results soon."

Speaking of which, Jelson wrote an email and sent it to the headquarters in front of the two of them.

Jelson's email has indeed attracted the attention of the headquarters, but the headquarters is more concerned about the business model of offline payment, and wants to copy it to the European and American markets, so as to increase the market share of the Android system.

Jelson had no choice but to call Sergey, one of the founders of Google, and truthfully inform him of the situation in the mainland market.

Sergey was also taken aback after hearing his report. He did not expect the situation in the mainland market to be so serious.

"Jelson, I believe what you said is true, but the acquisition of mobile phone manufacturers requires too much money, and according to what you said, if we want to seize enough market share, we need to acquire not all Two mobile phone manufacturers, this risk is too great, and investors will not agree." Sergey analyzed.

Jelson was a little desperate: "However, if we don't follow up, it will only take a few years for the mainland market to completely belong to the Star system. We will have no competitiveness, and our current partners will leave us. If we want to enter the mainland market, there will be no software vendors to cooperate with us.”

After thinking for a while, Sergey comforted: "Listen, Jason, I don't mean not to give you support, but you need a better plan, at least let me convince investors, you understand what I mean ?"

Jelson could only call Xiao Ma, Jack Ma, Sassafras and others for a meeting. After all, they know the mainland market better.

Huang Zhang put forward a plan: "Actually, we don't need to buy it completely, we just need to get the largest share of the shares. Moreover, many mobile phone manufacturers in the mainland are not as expensive as imagined. It may be possible to control a mobile phone manufacturer with hundreds of millions of yuan."

Brother Xiao Ma also proposed a plan: "Yes, since the funds are limited, we will spend one dollar in half. As far as I know, there are many mobile phone manufacturers that copied Nokia before, and they have begun to copy the star system. Mobile phones, they have certain technical strength, and at the same time the production cost is extremely low, we can use these copycat manufacturers to attack the low-end market.”

Brother Xiaoma finally understands that if you want to increase market share, low-end smart phones are the most effective way, which means cheapness and momentum!

Jack Ma also thinks this solution is feasible: "Yes, what we need now is to hit the low-end market. These counterfeit manufacturers can completely lower the price of mobile phones to an unbelievable level. Maybe the shipment volume of one or two is insignificant, but if it is Add it all together, and it’s pretty impressive.”

When Jelson thought about it, it seemed that there was no better way, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and quickly made a planning plan and sent it directly to Sergey.

Sergey was a little disappointed when he first saw that Jelson's plan was to acquire a counterfeit mobile phone manufacturer, but when he saw the plan until the end, he couldn't help but be overwhelmed.

"Jelson, you gave me a surprise, wait for my good news." Sergey made a special call to Jelson to express his praise.

Soon, Jelson received good news. He received another 15 billion dollars in support from Google, which is equivalent to 110 billion yuan in funds, which is enough for Jelson to acquire many counterfeit mobile phone manufacturers.

So, Brother Xiao Ma acted as a middleman and invited Pengcheng and other counterfeit mobile phone manufacturers to come to Penguin Building to discuss cooperation.

At the beginning, many bosses who made counterfeit mobile phones thought it was a trap. Brother Xiaoma wanted to cooperate with the police to arrest them, but he didn't dare to go. Brother Xiaoma used a lot of connections and found middlemen to gather these people together.

Then a very interesting scene happened. The Penguin employees all dressed neatly and rushed to work. It turned out that many people came downstairs from the company today with strange clothes and even some shabby people. Picking your nose in public.

Many Penguin employees thought they had come to the wrong place, and what made them even more puzzled was that the destination of these strangely dressed and behaving people was actually the 39th floor, where Brother Xiaoma's office was located, and ordinary people didn't go there at all. Qualified to go up.

This group of people came to the large conference room on the 39th floor, and each of them found a place to sit, and some familiar people also started chatting.

"Hey, Lao Li, how dare you come? Are you afraid of being arrested by the police in a while?"

"Old Zhang, you guys have such a big business that you dare to come here. Why don't I dare to come? At worst, go in together and see who gets the heavier sentence."

Everyone ridiculed for a while, don't look at this group of people who are all disheveled and have no image at all, in fact, any one of these people randomly picked out is a big boss with a net worth of tens of millions.

Of course, the business of this group of people is shady, so each of them is usually very low-key, for fear of being jealous and being reported and sent to prison.

After a while, Brother Xiaoma and Jelson arrived. Brother Xiaoma was still very influential in Pengcheng, and everyone exchanged polite greetings.

Brother Xiao Ma didn't hide it, so he told them the situation.

"Of course, after reaching a cooperation with Google, it's not interesting to be a copycat phone. You probably don't want to be sneaky for the rest of your life, right? Why don't you start your own mobile phone brand? Make money dignifiedly?" Brother Ma encouraged.

However, none of the bosses present were stupefied, and someone immediately asked: "Mr. Ma, we also want to make money in an upright manner, but how to deal with the factory building? How to deal with mobile phone production qualifications? And how to deal with future taxes?"

"Yeah, although sneaking around is scary, but it's really making money. Once it's on the surface, let's not talk about anything else, we will lose a lot of money in a year just from taxes."

For these counterfeit mobile phone bosses, there is no such thing as taxation at all. How much money they make is their own, while corporate taxes are very heavy, and the risks are also high. Tax paid.

Brother Xiao Ma said calmly: "You don't have to worry about these problems. Let's solve them one by one. First of all, we can choose the factory in the inland city. They need to invest and can fight for free for the first three years and halve the tax within five years." Policy, and the mobile phone is a high-tech industry, and additional tax relief is required. Secondly, the production qualification is also very simple. We have formal factories. It is not difficult to obtain the qualification as long as several companies are merged. I can also help with this You apply."

After listening to Xiao Ma, there was a lot of discussion in the conference room. If money can be made through formal channels, who would like to hide from XZ like a mouse all day long?
As for what to do if the tax relief policy is gone after five years?Who knows if you can get rid of this thing for five years? It would be good if you can make a few years of money.

But soon another boss raised an objection: "Mr. Ma, you said you want to merge us, but what will happen after the merger? Who will make the decision? Who do we listen to?"

Brother Xiaoma said calmly: "This problem is also very easy to solve. After the merger, you will produce separately, and a company will open a few more brands, and the subsequent sales and after-sales can be calculated separately. You only need to report to Google Just be responsible."

After listening to Brother Xiao Ma, many bosses were moved. Not to mention anything else, you can get a large share transfer fee by accepting the investment, which is equivalent to free money, and who knows how long the knockoff machine business can last Woolen cloth?It is more practical to eat a steady meal.

Immediately, dozens of bosses agreed to Google's acquisition. Many bosses said that they would go back and think about it, and some of them expressed a clear attitude and would not cooperate.

After sending off the bosses of these counterfeit machines, Jelson said to Brother Xiao Ma in satisfaction: "Mr. Ma, if these people can be used by us, we can catch up with the star system just around the corner."

Brother Xiao Ma is not as optimistic as Jelson: "Whether the copycat phone will be recognized by the market is still unknown, but we have to give it a try, otherwise we really have no chance."

If it wasn't for the excessive pressure that Shen Lang brought to him, Xiao Ma would not be willing to make any counterfeit mobile phones. It would be too low-key, and it would make people laugh if he said it, and it would easily give customers some bad impressions.

However, until now, Brother Ma can only fight.

Jack Ma is not idle here either. He is contacting some domestic mobile phone accessories manufacturers. Counterfeit phones are taking the path of ultra-low prices to occupy the market. If you want to sell at a low price, you must first have a low cost. , to achieve the ultimate,

Soon, Jack Ma used the resources at hand to contact many mobile phone accessory manufacturers and got their quotation lists.

Select the manufacturer with the lowest quotation from them, and further reduce the price with them. With the joint efforts of Xiao Ma and Jack Ma, many mobile phone brands have been added to the Android camp.

And these mobile phone brands are completely unheard of in the market before. These counterfeit mobile phone owners also implement their style in naming, what: Little Apple, Rice, Charm Red, various mobile phone brands on the market. .

At first glance, those who didn’t know thought it was a new model from these mobile phone brands. Using this marketing method, not to mention, the sales of the first batch of counterfeit phones were actually very good, attracting many users for the Android system. .

The most embarrassing thing is that although these counterfeit phones are cheap, sometimes the signal is not very good, and the touch screen is not very sensitive, but they are really cheap. The price of 3G mobile phones can be sold for 799 or even 699, which shocked everyone. Regular mobile phone manufacturers.

Mobile phone manufacturers such as Tianyu, Bird, and Gionee are a little bit overwhelmed. These counterfeit phones are all occupying their market, resulting in a sharp drop in their mobile phone shipments, and the key is that they can’t compete with others in terms of price!

According to the posture of these counterfeit phones, if they dare to lower the price, maybe they will dare to lower the price to 599 or even 499.

So Xu Lihua from Bird found Shen Lang, and Shen Lang also heard some rumors, but he didn't expect the situation to be so serious, and immediately called some mobile phone manufacturer bosses to discuss countermeasures.

"Mr. Shen, if this goes on like this, our business will be impossible."

"Yes, Mr. Shen, the shipment of our brand's low-end models has dropped by half this month."

The meeting to discuss countermeasures suddenly turned into a complaint meeting. Shen Lang waited for them to finish speaking before speaking.

"Have you ever wondered why their prices can be kept so low?"

Xu Lihua said: "These people originally made counterfeit phones, and they can reduce a lot of costs by recycling some second-hand parts."

"That's right, and they don't buy social security for their employees. They are all paid on a piece basis. We can't compare the labor cost alone."

"Why don't you report them? It's against the law!"
