Chapter 131: Undercurrents Surge!
The secret meeting between the four big players of Hua Country's phone industry and Jiang Cheng finally concluded after nearly two hours.
Judging from the results of the talks, both parties seemed relatively satisfied.
Ultimately, the two sides reached the following verbal agreement.
After Jade Island successfully commercializes flexible phone technology in the future, it will establish new flexible phone brands with each of the four phone companies, focusing on propelling the new generation of flexible phones to capture the world market. As the technology provider, Jade Island will use technology as equity, holding 30% to 40% equity in the four phone companies.
After the meeting, the four big players had no intention of staying to enjoy the unique scenery of Jade Island, quickly boarding their private jets to return to Hua Country.
This collaboration between the two parties is undoubtedly a disruptive technological revolution, promising numerous immeasurable wealth opportunities, but also plenty of challenges.
Therefore, they were in no mood for sightseeing on Jade Island, instead preparing to return and implement a series of major reform measures, readying themselves for the sprint as the era of flexible phones arrives.
The day after the four big players returned to Hua Country, Hua Wei Phone released groundbreaking news on its official online account!
"Hua Wei Phone will relocate its R&D headquarters to the CBD of Laputa City on Jade Island soon!"
The announcement caused a huge stir in Hua Country!
"Oh my god! Hua Wei Phone is up to something!"
"Shocked! The big players in the domestic phone industry are eager to migrate!"
"Powerful union! Congratulations to Hua Wei for riding on wealth, heading towards a happy Xiaokang life!"
Besides the shock throughout the internet in Hua Country, there were also some onlookers who didn't mind the drama, each expressing their opinions.
"No, why do I smell conspiracy?"
"This is already an open conspiracy, isn't it?"
"Hehe! Now there's a good show to watch!"
"In my humble opinion, Hua Wei is on the path to challenge Samsung."
"Support Hua Wei and Jade Island, defeat the competition!"
"The global phone landscape was just established, and now it seems it's going to be upended again!"
...
All in all, Hua Wei Phone's action was interpreted from every angle by various netizens, regardless of whether their speculations were reasonable or not.
However, one thing is certain: the vast number of netizens have discerned a hint from Hua Wei's move.
Hua Wei is showing signs of leaning towards Jade Island!
If Hua Wei's sole intent was just to change its work environment, thus relocating its R&D headquarters to Jade Island, no one would believe it.
Because if that were the case, they could have moved there in the early days of Jade Island's investment promotion, so why wait until now?
The second point of doubt is that Jade Island just announced a major technological plan to produce a new generation of flexible LCD screens, and this move was even staunchly opposed by the world's largest phone manufacturer, Samsung.
Therefore, considering Hua Wei is a major competitor of Samsung, the timing of this relocation plan is indeed thought-provoking.
Regardless of external speculation, Hua Wei Company is steadfastly executing its planned arrangements, with relocation and personnel arrangements all proceeding nervously and orderly.
While the outside world is abuzz with discussions about Hua Wei Phone, insiders from fellow Hua Country phone giants Mi, OPPO, and VIVO, have also leaked some news.
"Breaking news! According to reliable sources, Mi Company has abruptly abandoned the development of the Mi 10 phone, set to be released early next year!"
"Sudden news! According to an employee from OPPO's research department, CEO Chen Mingyong suddenly announced the suspension of all research tasks in the department!"
"Rare event! VIVO announced its entry into a transition period, suspending related new product development tasks!"
The simultaneous announcement by the three major phone giants to suspend new product development tasks is a rare move, which is equivalent to cutting off their own arm for tech companies!
This event exploded throughout Hua Country!
"Damn! You all have mines at home, quitting without playing, what phone am I supposed to change to next year?"
"What on earth happened? First the eldest announced migration, then the second, third, and fourth announced self-disarmament. Is there something toxic in our country making everyone crazy?"
"Things are not that simple, it's all a conspiracy!"
"Yes, the world's great situation is that it can be divided after long unity, and united after long division. The phone industry is facing upheaval, uh no, is getting a new master..."
"As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm, I think this might not be a bad thing for our country."
"I agree!"
...
Thus, soon after returning to their country, the four big players swiftly fulfilled their initial promises. It must be said these individuals are indeed exceedingly decisive.
Announcing such a halt in development plans is akin to, as many netizens put it, self-disarming, cutting off all their retreats!
However, they are also aware that given their significant technological lag behind the current two mobile behemoths, only this strategy of breaking the old to establish the new could allow them to overtake around corners and lead the era!
Of course, this is more based on their trust in Jade Island's technological strength!
...
In conclusion, the actions of the four mobile giants in Hua Country can undoubtedly be termed nuclear-level, with the waves of public opinion they ignited not subsiding domestically but swiftly sweeping across the globe!
Worldwide, netizens are also posting their speculations.
Although they are not familiar with these four major Hua Country mobile manufacturers, that does not stop them from noticing a thread!
That is, Jade Island!
In their view, the actions of these four major Hua Country phone manufacturers are likely related to the flexible technology previously announced by Jade Island, and one can speculate that these four manufacturers have reached some kind of deal with Jade Island, seemingly brewing something terrifying.
Suddenly, the discussion on flexible phone technology once again became the focal point of global netizen discourse.
Meanwhile, numerous industries related to phones are also initiating various actions, as they are extremely sensitive to industry trends, they won't ignore such matters.
In fact, their instincts are much sharper than the average netizen, with some quick movers already closely monitoring or probing the four major Hua Country phone giants and Jade Island, hoping to understand the future direction of phone development and prepare ahead to cope with the potential tide of industry transformation.
The entire global mobile industry is teeming with undercurrents and frequent movements, presenting a stance of an imminent storm.
