Chapter 52: Partner Software Manufacturers
The next morning, Xu Shenxue came to the company and held a simple morning meeting to finalize the preparations for the press conference.
After the morning meeting, Ji Chenghe came over and said, "Boss Xu, we have already discussed it with QQ Mobile. Let's meet them at 10 o'clock, and then we can officially sign the contract!"
Xu Shenxue said: "Okay, the time is just right now, let's go now!"
Xu Shenxue immediately left the company by car and went to QQ's office building not far away to meet with a person in charge of their mobile QQ business. After some discussions, they finalized the cooperation between the two parties and formally signed a contract.
The cooperation had already been almost discussed, and Xu Shenxue came here specifically to meet with the other party's senior management and then formally sign the contract.
Regarding this cooperation, both Xu Shenxue and the other party's mobile QQ business actually attach great importance to it, otherwise they would not have allowed the boss Xu Shenxue to meet directly with the person in charge of their mobile QQ business.
The modern QQ has developed quite well and firmly holds the leading position in the field of instant messaging. Looking around, there is no rival that can compete with it.
At the same time, they not only continue to focus on traditional PCs, but are also actively entering the field of mobile instant messaging and developed mobile QQ early on.
In the past two years, mobile QQ has developed many versions to adapt to different mobile phone systems, and the Android system that just appeared last year has naturally become their main target.
But before that, there were no Android phones on the domestic market, so even if they wanted to develop a mobile QQ specifically for the Android system, they couldn't use it.
I just happened to hear that Zhiyun Technology next door is developing smart phones, and the progress is extremely fast. In addition, Zhiyun Technology also took the initiative to approach us to seek cooperation, and said that all kinds of channel fees and internal fees in the early stage will be waived. We only hope that QQ Mobile can cooperate a little and make some interactive optimizations based on the characteristics of the Android system.
Therefore, based on the idea that one more channel means one more way, Mobile QQ does not rule out cooperation with Zhiyun Technology. Anyway, it’s free and built-in, so why not miss it!
It is nothing more than adjusting some interactive details of the general JAVA version of mobile QQ in advance to better adapt it to Zhiyun Technology's YUN OS system... In exchange for half a year of free built-in support, it is completely acceptable.
At least what are the benefits for Zhiyun Technology?
It can take advantage of the popularity and influence of QQ. After all, the other party is not using the built-in one for nothing. It is aimed at the Android system of Zhiyun mobile phones. The interactive system needs to be optimized to a certain extent, and then a QQ version dedicated to YUN OS mobile phones is launched.
Considering that Zhiyun is the only Android phone that is about to release a mobile phone in the current domestic smartphone market, and it is estimated that Zhiyun will be the only Android phone in the next six months.
This means that Zhiyun phones will have exclusive access to the mobile QQ version specially developed and optimized for the Android system for the next six months or even more than half a year.
This can bring considerable help to Zhiyun mobile phones.
For the mobile QQ team, this is also an opportunity to try to enter the Android smartphone field. Regardless of whether it will succeed in the future, it would be a good idea to do an experiment with an Android Zhiyun phone first. It is a win-win situation.
This is how the cooperation between the two parties came about.
After all, this is a matter of benefit to both parties, so it is simple and quick to discuss.
After finalizing the cooperation with mobile QQ, Xu Shenxue immediately met with the business managers of several heavyweight software suppliers and finalized the cooperative promotion activities of software with them.
The attitudes of those software manufacturers are actually similar to that of mobile QQ... Anyway, Zhiyun Technology said that it will provide them with built-in services for free within half a year.
The price they have to pay is not even a big deal... After all, they were going to develop an Android version anyway, and now it's nothing more than releasing it a little earlier, and then making some optimizations for the interaction with the YUN OS system. It's just a customized version in name, which are all trivial matters.
As for the internal costs and channel fees in half a year, if Zhiyun Technology is already out of business by then, there is nothing much to say. If Zhiyun Technology becomes popular by then, they will have to take the initiative to seek cooperation, and they will pay for the internal costs and channel fees.
Again, no software manufacturer would complain about having too many channels!
What's more, the smartphone that Zhiyun Technology is about to release will be the first smartphone officially released and launched in China. Zhiyun Technology itself attaches great importance to this title, and these software manufacturers actually also value it.
No one wants to be left behind in the first stage when the smartphone era arrives!
If you don't cooperate with Zhiyun Technology in developing software, what will happen if Zhiyun Technology finds a competitor?
If the Zhiyun phone becomes a big hit, wouldn’t my competitors be laughing to death while I would be crying to death?
This kind of thing must not happen!
No matter what the future of Zhiyun Technology holds, it’s better to get on board now… It’s free anyway, it’s a waste not to get on it!
Therefore, when Zhiyun Technology was looking for these software manufacturers to cooperate, it did not encounter much difficulty, and the cooperation discussions were relatively smooth. Of course, there are some fools... If you meet a fool, just ignore him.
During that day, Xu Shenxue met with five groups of relevant personnel sent by important software manufacturers. He even had lunch with Secretary Li in between meetings and finally finalized all matters.
I didn't return to the company until around five in the afternoon to deal with some backlog documents, and then went to the R&D department.
There is nothing major happening in the company as a whole. Everything is going relatively smoothly and the atmosphere in the R&D department is okay.
Xie Jianyong reported: "The 200 trial prototypes ordered have already started production at Weiku Industrial, and it is expected to be completed and ready for preliminary testing within two days!"
The company's public relations department also reported: "Early this morning, our department's staff has urgently brought the prototype and necessary materials to apply for a network access license."
"In addition, Blue Ocean Investment Fund provided certain assistance."
"Plus, our mobile phones already meet all quality standards, so it won't take long for us to get the network access license."
Xu Shenxue nodded and said, "Very good. We can't neglect the network access license. We must hurry up. Your public relations department needs to pay more attention!"
Although the mobile phone industry no longer requires special licenses nowadays, mobile phones must still obtain a network access license if they want to be put on the market for sale... Although it is not difficult to obtain a network access license for a legitimate mobile phone, it is still a hassle to get it done in a short period of time.
After a brief chat with these people, Xu Shenxue returned to the office. At this time, the financial director Kong Weiquan found Xu Shenxue and the first thing he said was: "Mr. Xu, we don't have enough funds!"
As he said that, he handed over a financial report!
At the same time, Kong Weiquan also said: "The expenses in February were too high, and we were given an additional project bonus of 5 million. Although we still have a lot of money in our account, it is far from enough to face the subsequent new product marketing expenses and new product mass production expenses!"
Xu Shenxue was also a little overwhelmed after looking at the financial report!
It's not just that there is not enough money, but the gap is particularly large!
