789, Banana phone is on sale(1/2)
Returning from vacation at sea.
Liu Taobao took Xia Yang to live in the garden villa.
Before returning from Spur, her mother Pan Huijing knew that her precious daughter Liu Taobao was finally with Xia Yang.
My precious daughter has been entrusted with something and her wish has come true!
So Pan Huijing, the mother-in-law, was very kind to Xia Yang, and the dishes at every meal were different.
Things that fly in the sky, things that run on the ground, things that swim in the sea, they change their tricks every day and make them for Xia Yang to eat.
In addition, for fear of disturbing Xia Yang and Liu Taobao, they moved to the annex building next to them.
It made Xia Yang feel a little embarrassed.
But there is a saying that among his mothers-in-law, Liu Taobao's mother was the best to him.
Before there was no breakthrough in his relationship with Liu Taobao, Pan Huijing would call him almost every week and invite him to her home, hoping that he and Liu Taobao would spend more time together and get together soon.
At the same time, some Bay Island specialties should be sent to Xia Yang every month.
In addition to Liu Taobao's mother, Luo Ling's parents also treated him well.
Luo Ling owns a teahouse worth several million and knows that her parents are not short of money.
So when they learned that Du Miao's precious daughter Luo Ling, whom she kept in her mouth for fear of melting, had become someone else's lover, her parents were very angry.
The fight was so tense that Luo Ling didn't even dare to go home for a while.
However, as Meike grew and expanded like a balloon, its valuation went from US$500 million, US$1 billion, US$2 billion, to at least US$5 billion today.
Her parents' attitude began to change.
Later I learned that Luo Ling owned 10% of Meike's shares.
Meike is just the most inconspicuous and lowest valued company among all Xiayang companies.
Her parents took the initiative to call Luo Ling to ask her to go home, and took the initiative to go to Spur to meet Xia Yang, their son-in-law. After that, the two parties often contacted each other by phone. At the same time, like Pan Huijing, they always liked to send some Puhai specialties to Xia Yang.
Of course, this is not because of the snobbery of Luo Ling's parents.
It's that wealth reaching a certain level is enough to change people's ideas.
If Xia Yang's net worth was only tens of millions, others would only think that he was a relatively successful boss, but if his net worth reached tens of billions of dollars, or even hundreds of billions of dollars.
It's obviously out of the scope of being a boss.
What's more, 10% of Meike's shares are worth at least 500 million U.S. dollars. If they are satisfied with the sincerity, Luo Ling's parents are not satisfied. Now the old couple stay in Puhai to take care of themselves and wait for their grandchildren, and by the way help manage Puhai.
Meike Electronics Factory.
Because Pan Huijing was too enthusiastic, Xia Yang originally planned to stay at Liu Taobao's house for two or three days before leaving, but Na Zhizhi stayed for a week before he was able to escape and return to Spur.
After Xia Yang left, Liu Taobao and An Kexin recovered from their first taste of the forbidden fruit and finally thought of work.
Liu Taobao went back to work at Lianhua Electronics Company to make the banana phone designed by Xia Yang as soon as possible.
An Kexin drove Jiang Qingqing and Chen Hong back to China to film, and she continued to be busy making the robot dog movie.
Because she often went to Wandao to shoot scenes and play with Liu Taobao, An Kexin simply opened a film branch in Zhuxin City and now basically stays in Wandao.
Liu Taobao acted very quickly. One week after Xia Yang left, he finished the banana phone designed by Xia Yang.
Not too slow, after all, it only took half a month for Xia Yang to hand over the design of Banana Phone to Liu Taobao.
It takes half a month to turn a mobile phone appearance design into a finished mobile phone. It can be said that it is very fast.
This also shows the strength of UMC.
Xia Yang invested so much money in vain.
Of course, the banana phone produced now is just a prototype and requires Xia Yang's consent before it can be mass-produced.
Liu Taobao couldn't wait to bring the Banana Phone to the market. After getting the prototype, he sent his assistant to fly the Banana Phone prototype to Spur.
So Xia Yang saw the finished banana phone only one day later than Liu Taobao.
Very satisfied, just what he wanted.
The first-generation Banana mobile phone looks a bit like the Apple 4, with a square shape, rounded corners and a metal frame.
Of course, the screen is not that big, and most of the front are dialing buttons. The back is made of glass, just like the iPhone 4, which is unique and novel.
Overall, the more you look at it, the more comfortable it becomes.
A classic mobile phone of a generation, it goes without saying that it looks good.
This is why Liu Taobao can't wait. She also didn't expect that the finished product of the banana phone designed by Xia Yang would look so good.
Liu Taobao has made a good banana phone, which is in line with Xia Yang's original design intention. It is simple and exquisite, and in terms of thickness of the phone, it is even thinner.
Therefore, mass production of Banana mobile phones was directly approved.
Of course he can't wait to make money.
After all, so much money has been invested before and after.
The most important thing is that UMC is a very critical link in Xia Yang's layout.
Needless to say, the importance of semiconductor chips goes without saying.
Originally, Xia Yang planned to put both semiconductor chips and artificial intelligence in Lishen Company in the United States.
But the United States always had trouble, so it simply changed its plan and placed all the most important semiconductor chip manufacturing on the Bay Island. Lishen was only responsible for the research and development of artificial intelligence.
This is why Xia Yang agreed with Liu Taobao to develop mobile phones and then invested a large amount of R&D funds in Lianhua Electronics.
If the first-generation Banana Phone succeeds and makes money, then UMC will be able to be self-sufficient without the need for it to continue spending money. It can also continue to conduct in-depth research and development in the field of semiconductor chips, paving the way for future artificial intelligence.
With Xia Yang's approval, the first-generation banana phone can be mass-produced.
Liu Taobao immediately started to get busy.
The first thing is to register all the Banana Phone’s design, technology, etc. as global patents.
The second thing is to arrange mass production of banana mobile phones.
This is the simplest. The electronics industry in Bay Island is extremely developed.
Liu Taobao just released the news, and a large number of foundries came swarming.
Xu Xincheng showed up again and came to Liu Taobao every day to beg Liu Taobao to keep the order in Zhuxin as much as possible.
There is no way, Xia Yang is as generous as ever.
The first batch of banana phones was produced directly, with 20 million units produced.
An order for 20 million Banana mobile phones is definitely a big piece of meat. Who wouldn’t want to take a bite?
Of course, compared to the previous generation, mobile phone brands such as Nokia, Apple, Samsung, etc. all sold hundreds of millions of units, so the order of 20 million units of Banana Phone is not that much.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After all, Banana Phone is a new brand and new phone, so it’s better to stay calm.
Therefore, the first batch of Banana Mobile phones was produced at 20 million units, which was also a test for Xia Yang.
Then adjust based on the sales situation. If sales are booming, you can place additional orders. There are many mobile phone OEMs in Bay Island.
The third thing is to open a self-operated store.
After receiving Xia Yang's support for the sales of Banana mobile phones, Liu Taobao plans to adopt an agency and self-operated store sales model.
Therefore, it is necessary to open Banana Mobile self-operated stores around the world.
According to Liu Taobao's plan, at least one Banana Mobile self-operated store will be opened in every major city in the world.
Just imagine how much money this would require.
However, with Xia Yang's support, everything became simple. He only needed to call Lixin Bank, and Liu Taobao could get it the same day as much as he needed.
Of course this is a loan, and Liu Taobao will have to pay it back if he sells the banana phone well.
Xia Ren's own mobile phone, his wish is about to come true.
Liu Taobao is so motivated that she rarely flies to Spur to date Xia Yang. Every day, she is either urging major OEMs to speed up the production of banana mobile phones and stocking up, or she flies all over the world to personally select stores.
Xia Yang felt sorry for her and specially arranged a colorful plane as her special plane.
Also, I’m very happy about Liu Taobao’s change. From an innocent girl who just liked eating and playing, she has become a strong woman.
With Liu Taobao's hard work, the work before the launch of the Banana Phone is progressing rapidly.
In early August, Xia Yang agreed to mass-produce Banana mobile phones.
In August, one million Banana Phones were produced. At the same time, Banana Phone stores in major cities around the world were basically confirmed and entered the renovation stage.
In September, two million Banana Phones were produced. At the same time, all Banana Phone stores in major cities around the world were confirmed, a total of 266, and all of them are in the renovation stage.
Banana Mobile has opened 266 stores around the world, which sounds like a small number, but it’s actually quite a lot.
After all, in the previous life, Apple only had more than 500 self-operated stores around the world.
What's more, every Banana Mobile store is carefully selected by Liu Taobao, and they are not rented, but purchased directly, and then decorated in a unified style.
This expenditure alone amounted to more than 2 billion US dollars.
