Chapter 1003 Joining hands again
The guests at the scene were not very interested in online games, but the ordinary audience in front of the TV and computers were very interested in it. They did not think about whether it was too late for Deep Space Company to launch online games at this time. They just
We know that the products produced by Deep Space must be high-quality products.
Especially the players of "Warcraft", they are already imagining what it would be like to turn "Warcraft" into an online game.
[I don’t know if the background will change, but I still like the background story of “Warcraft” very much.]
[Yeah, I hope Deep Space will have time to make "Warcraft" into a movie. 】
[Haha, those who want to watch the movie should pay attention. I heard that Jay Chou will have a song in June, which lasts for more than ten minutes. The mv is the scene from "Warcraft". 】
[It should be just a collection of game screens, it doesn’t feel like much to see.]
[You are wrong, the director of this MV is LVX.]
[If you don’t understand, just ask, who is lvx?]
[lvx’s Chinese name is Lu Xi, he is a student at YU and the assistant director of "The Martian". He is a director with a real academic background. 】
[His first work is the short film "Bring Her Eyes", which is very beautiful and an award-winning work at the Deep Space Short Film Festival.]
[I have seen a collection of lvx’s short films. They are very impressive. If the MV is really shot by him, we can look forward to it. 】
[Of course you can look forward to it, and the script was written by lvx himself. 】
[Ten minutes is still a bit short. It would be nice if I could have an hour. 】
[Are you crazy? The MV of a song lasts for more than an hour. How is it possible? Ten minutes is already very long. 】
[Haha, I’m just kidding, I hope the mv will look good.]
[Jaychou will come to our London concert next month, but unfortunately he didn’t get a ticket.]
[You bought it late, right? When tickets started to be released, many people had already bought tickets on the ticket office website. 】
[It was only later that I found out that the ticket office website releases tickets so early and there are so many tickets.]
【Haha, I have two tickets, but I want to go see it with my boyfriend.】
[I bought it late. I thought he was coming to London to hold a concert and not many people were going to see it.]
[Not much... He can sell out a few more shows. People are really crazy.]
[Many people from France, Germany, and Italy came over to grab tickets from us, which is really annoying!]
[He came to Paris to hold a concert before. Aren't there a bunch of British guys coming to grab our spot? 】

…
After talking about games, Yu Dong and the others talked about other industries in deep space, including PayPal payment, Haibei.com, Amazon, PETS and other industries.
Only at the end did they talk about BenQ Mobile.
"BenQ Mobile's new product launch conference will be held on March 15th. Then everyone can pay attention to this year's new products. There will definitely be surprises."
After warming up for the new product launch, Yu Dong continued, "Before the new product launch, the BenQ store will also have a relatively large update. In addition to making some changes to the page, this update will also add some
New momentum. In addition, I want to tell you a piece of news. Our Deep Space Group will cooperate with Motorola to develop an electronic music store software for them that is the same as the BenQ store. Within three months, the Motorola store will be able to follow the same trend as the BenQ store.
See you all."
In fact, Yu Dong had not planned to announce this news today because the cooperation between them and Motorola had just been concluded, but Motorola was more anxious.
The reason why Chris Galvin wants to reach this cooperation with Deep Space Company is to gain some bargaining chips for himself to stay in the company. So for him, the sooner the news of the cooperation between the two parties spreads, the more spread it will have.
Broader is better, and in Chris Galvin's opinion, there is no better time than the Deep Space Annual Conference.
It was precisely because of this that Colvin came in such a hurry before.
Yu Dong also agreed to Chris Galvin's request. After all, in this cooperation, Deep Space was the one who took advantage, and the conditions offered by Motorola were very good.
Chris Galvin's prediction was also very correct. When Yu Dong said that Deep Space Company was going to build a music store for Motorola, the whole auditorium became lively.
In the eyes of most people, this cooperation between Deep Space Company and Motorola is more like sending a signal to the outside world, especially in this period, everyone is more sensitive to this kind of thing.
Before Deep Space Company developed, their cooperation with Motorola was very close.
The cooperation between the two parties began with the movie "The Second World". At that time, Motorola bought many of Yu Dong's designs. Later, Deep Space Company also designed several popular models for Motorola, which consolidated Motorola's status in the world.
But as Deep Space Company develops better and better, and its business becomes wider and wider, Deep Space Company and Motorola are getting further and further apart, and have even become rivals.
But now, the two sides suddenly want to join hands again, which naturally exceeds many people's expectations.
Especially those who were paying attention to the Deep Space Annual Conference and other mobile phone manufacturers, their hearts sank when they heard Yu Dong's words. The cooperation between Deep Space Company and Motorola is not a good thing for other mobile phone manufacturers.
And what Yu Dong said next made their hearts sink even deeper.
"All the functions that BenQ Store has, Motorola Store will also have, and the copyrights of the two stores will be completely shared. Songs purchased at BenQ Store can also be purchased at Motorola Store, including live songs of contestants in "Pop Idol"
, and users can also vote for their favorite contestants in the Motorola store."
In fact, the BenQ store is basically the same thing as the Motorola store, except that the name has been changed, and the appearance of the homepage will also be made some simple changes. The user experience is basically the same.
But after all, they are two types of software, and items purchased from two stores cannot be used in common.
In fact, Yu Dong has already thought about it. In the future, Motorola and Deep Space will no longer cooperate. Deep Space can also give Motorola a trick and directly allow Motorola users to transfer to BenQ for free. The music that users purchased in the Motorola store before will be transferred to BenQ.
BenQ stores are still available.
Spielberg in the audience looked at Li Kunyao next to him and said with a smile, "You have done a big thing quietly. Now Nokia and Ericsson are going to be nervous."
Li Kunyao said with a smile, "Isn't it just a small cooperation? It won't make them nervous."
"I dare say that the mobile phone companies will hold emergency meetings at dawn. I have to say that Chris Galvin made a good move. Some time ago, I heard that Chris Galvin's position is not guaranteed.
Now it seems that he should be able to maintain his position for a while. With this wave of cooperation with you, his position will not be a problem for at least one year."
Li Kunyao was not surprised that Spielberg was so interested in business. This was not the first time they had contact, so Li Kunyao knew that Spielberg was a very business-savvy person.
"Chris Galvin is also betting that cooperation with our company may not be able to stop Motorola's current decline."
Spielberg nodded, "If it's just this level of cooperation, there's no way to save Motorola. Their company has many problems, and it's very difficult to change them, unless you both start deeper cooperation, especially in semiconductors."
, if you can help save them again, it’s still okay.”
Li Kunyao smiled and said, "Take your time."
He knew that Deep Space would definitely not have a more in-depth cooperation with Motorola, but in the face of Spielberg's inquiries, he was unwilling to reveal too much.
Spielberg didn't care and said with a smile, "Remember to give me a new generation BenQ phone later so I can experience it."
"No problem, I'll send you a few in a while."
…
Regarding the cooperation between Deep Space Company and Motorola, netizens were even more intense, especially those Motorola users.
[Thank God, the people in charge of Motorola finally made the right decision. I have been coveting the BenQ store for a long time.]
[Excuse me, after the Motorola store goes online, can all Motorola phones be connected? 】
[It shouldn’t work, older mobile phones can’t connect either.]
[Whether a new mobile phone is released, I just want to change my mobile phone.]
[Why don’t you just change your mobile phone to a BenQ S2? 】
[I’m used to using Motorola and don’t want to switch to other phones. After all, it’s an old brand.]
[BenQ mobile phones are too trendy and not suitable for us.]
[BenQ mobile phone stores are still not as numerous as those of old brands like Motorola.]
[Yes, Motorola accessories are at least a little easier to buy and are available everywhere.]
[It doesn’t matter, as more and more users of BenQ mobile phones become available in the future, this aspect will become more and more convenient. 】
【Then I will buy it when it is really convenient.】
[Haha, I can finally vote for my favorite player. I was still hesitating whether to buy a BenQ phone some time ago. 】
[I have already bought it, but the mobile phone is really good.]
[It would be great if the songs of the two software could be used interchangeably, and I wouldn’t be afraid to change my phone in the future.]
[I have a Nokia mobile phone, and I have recently been considering whether to change my mobile phone. Because I really want to listen to music, I am considering whether to buy a BenQ mobile phone. Now it seems that I can also consider Motorola. 】
[I hope there will be more cooperation between the two parties, which is a good thing for our users.]
[Can Nokia cooperate with Deep Space to build a Nokia store?]
[Why do we have so many stores? I think it’s better to add all mobile phones to the BenQ store so that everyone can listen to music.]
[Haha, other mobile phones will definitely not do it. 】
…
Chris Calvin looked at Yu Dong on the TV and raised his red wine glass in the air. In order to wait for this moment, he stayed up all night and almost finished a bottle of red wine.
Now, those on the company's board of directors should no longer put pressure on him, and it will be no problem to slow down for at least a few months.
Chris Galvin's next step is to acquire Huawei to increase the technology of their company's core network. He has already sent people to contact Huawei, but the other party did not directly reject it, but proposed an unreasonable price, ninety.
Five hundred million dollars.
This price is so outrageous that Motorola certainly cannot agree to it.
And even if they can really agree to such an outrageous price, there is no way to pay it. Huawei is not a listed company, so it cannot trade in the form of stock swaps. It can only pay in cash. That is 9.5 billion US dollars in cash. What is Motorola doing now?
Maybe you can get it together.
Looking around the world, there are not many companies that can raise US$9.5 billion in a short period of time.
So now Chris Galvin is also waiting for a turnaround. If there is no turnaround after six months, he may change his target and find other companies.
…
At this time, Huawei's boss Ren Zhengfei was also paying attention to the Deep Space Annual Conference. When he saw Yu Dong announcing that he would cooperate with Motorola, he narrowed his eyes. Apart from a slight surprise, there was neither happiness nor joy in his eyes.
No sorrow.
Motorola sent people to contact him, hoping to acquire Huawei. He was very open-minded and asked the other party for 9.5 billion US dollars. Maybe the other party thought that he did not want to sell, so there was no contact for a while.
But in fact, he really wanted to sell it, but he just asked for a high price first and waited for the other party to pay back the money.
Perhaps many people would not have thought that he would actually sell Huawei, but in fact, eleven months ago, he spoke about "Huawei's Winter" at an internal company meeting, which already explained the problem.
People may wonder, how can it be winter when it is clearly spring and summer for Huawei? They have only achieved sales of more than 22 billion and profits of 2.9 billion this year, which can be said to be prosperous.
But Ren Zhengfei knows that the immediate victory is only temporary, and Huawei's future is still unclear. This stems from the company's successive strategic mistakes.
Huawei established the terminal project in 1994, and was promoted to the terminal business unit in 1996. It developed a series of products such as telephones, cordless telephones, and telephones with recording functions, but they all ended in failure.
As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the well for ten years. Since then, Ren Zhengfei has vowed that Huawei will never develop terminals again.
In 1997, the Ministry of Information Industry proactively invited Huawei to engage in mobile phone business and even issued them a mobile phone license. This was something many companies wanted but could not obtain, but Huawei refused.
Nowadays, China's mobile phone market is booming, especially BenQ Mobile, which suddenly emerged like a super dark horse. Last year, the sales of BenQ S1 alone reached 2.3 billion U.S. dollars, not including the sales of BenQ stores.
Even if we don’t mention Base Mobile, a dark horse, and just talk about TCL, they only use OEM production and branding. In 2001, their sales in the mobile phone market reached 9 billion yuan, and their profits were close to 1.5 billion yuan, which is equivalent to Huawei
half of the profit.
