The next day, Lianxiang Group announced that they would launch "independently developed" tablet computers in the second quarter.
was able to complete the research and development of tablet computers so quickly, which surprised other PC manufacturers. Just a technology of the internal architecture of a product is enough for them to be busy for a few months.
There are also appearance patents, system development, etc., which can never be completed in one year. In addition, after the successful research and development, the test will definitely be launched next year. How can I even complete it so quickly?
There is only one possibility, Lian Xiang bought a technology license from Zhiduoxing Group. What license do you buy, what do you say about independent research and development, shameless? !
Immediately, other PC manufacturers contacted Zhiduoxing again. They had consulted the patent authorization before, but they were rejected by Zhiduoxing Group.
Since you can authorize one, can you authorize the second one? The more you authorize, the more you earn.
Zhiduoxing Group did not directly refuse, but the conditions proposed were very harsh. This felt that they produced tablet computers, and most of the profits were made by Zhiduoxing Group. They became assembled under the OEM.
So those PC manufacturers also continue to contact Zhiduoxing while doing research and development. If you can't buy a technology patent for the hardware, at least you can get the software authorization?
Among those PC manufacturers, there are some who have not joined the Zhiduoxing alliance before, and this time they also applied for joining immediately. Those who want to join them also want to get the authorization of Zhiduoxing's tablet computer system, 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 PCs for major manufacturers to choose.
Zhang Yang didn't care about it at all. Microsoft's several operating systems have a big problem, that is, the space and memory occupied by the system are very large. It is very difficult to shrink.
Not to mention that 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 be a threat to Zhiduoxing system. What's more, Microsoft's smartphone operating system is now going downhill.
Save the current product market share, or enter a new field of competition? No matter how you choose, Zhang Yang doesn't care. The winner must be Zhiduoxing.
However, in addition to those hardware manufacturers who have nothing to do, the representatives of the two manufacturers directly refused.
Jiang Wanmeng sat across from Zhang Yang: "Zhang Dong, the majority shareholder on Wan Yan's side is Zhiduoxing Education Fund and Zhiduoxing Group. Since you agreed to authorize, why did you refuse me before?"
"I need to even think about some of the patented technologies I have, so I agreed to authorize him. But you don't have to worry, you can do some product development and design now. At the latest in the fourth quarter, I will agree to give Wan Yan the authorization."
If Wan Yan tests something like this, it will definitely not be released to the market until next year, and it does not violate the contract between Zhiduoxing and Lianxiang.
This piece of cake Zhiduoxing certainly cannot swallow, so it is better to find some allies to join.
Jiang Wanmeng got a satisfactory answer, got up and said goodbye, the cell phone on Zhang Yang's desk just rang, it was a video call from Kurishenko.
"Chapter, isn't it that I didn't attend the banquet of Zhiduoxing Group, you haven't told me such a big thing about tablet technology authorization." Kurishenko complained.
"Why, Moscow Electronics is not satisfied with notebooks and all-in-ones, but also wants to be a tablet?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.
"I can have one more product, of course I want to do it. What conditions do you want to give to Lian, and what conditions do I need on my side. Now that PC business growth is slowing down, it may even go backwards. I have to develop new product lines here. ."
Kurishenko was a little depressed. When he joined the PC industry, he was in the rising period of the market, and the sales volume was increasing every year. But the growth rate suddenly slowed down last year, but this year it is going to fall.
There is no reason for the market to saturate so quickly. Obviously, there are still many areas where PC is not popularized. There are several reasons for this. One is that Moscow Electronics does not have a desktop computer and one of the largest markets is missing. Another is that because of the global economic downturn, many people who previously planned to buy PCs have given up. Finally, the emergence of tablets has robbed netbooks. market share.
"Even if I want to have the patented technology I want, you don't have it. But everyone is also an old friend. You are also a shareholder of Zhiduoxing Group. I can promise you the same conditions as Wan Yan. Authorized to you."
"You are doing some R&D now, so that you can catch up with the launch of the tablet PC early next year, at least one or two months ahead of other manufacturers."
What else can Kurishenko say, who made him have no patent that Zhang Yang wanted? Besides, the batteries he sells to Zhang Yang are all priced, but there are preferential supply terms.
"Okay, let me research it first. Can my tablet be sold in the Chinese market by then?" Kurishenko asked again.
"Of course, welcome your products to enter the Chinese market, we compete fairly."
Anyway, in the China market, I can't even think of a rival to Chistar, let alone the more expensive Moscow Electronics. If it is really urgent, Zhang Yang only needs one trick to lower the price, so that other brand manufacturers can lose money.
With the improvement of technology~EbookFREE.me~The performance of the products will become stronger and stronger, 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 two hundred US dollars, plus the cost of sales such as transportation and publicity, and then counting the money for agents and retailers, Zhiduoxing can have a net profit of one hundred dollars.
sold more than 10 million units last year, that is a net profit of more than one billion US dollars. After the launch of the Lianxiang Tablet PC this year, the retail price can be lowered slightly, but the profit margin will not be reduced much because the production cost is also reduced.
A smartphone now costs thousands of RMB, and a smartphone in the previous life can be bought for less than a thousand.
Zhang Yang is also ready to let Zhiduoxing launch a cheap smartphone, but some important parameters cannot be reduced, such as memory, such as CPU, such as camera and so on.
To increase the sales of Zhiduoxing mobile phones, especially the sales of smart phones. This year, smart phones will explode, occupying an increasing share of the mobile phone market, but traditional feature phones are still mainstream.
Wait two years later, when the 4G technology begins to be popularized, the spring of smart phones will really come. At that time, the traditional functional opportunities will quickly decline until it becomes uninterested.
But Zhang Yang didn't stare at it personally, he flew to Silicon Valley again, this time it was a big deal.
