Chapter two hundred and ninety third exploiting loopholes
It’s really not easy to say that Cai Mingjie is really not easy. After changing his vest, he quickly made a big move. Zhou Liwen is not unfamiliar with this big move, but in fact he is just a trick of his old trick - a copycat mobile phone.
Didn’t it mean that MediaTek was ruined by Zhou Liwen’s move in the mainland market, and even caused Cai Mingjie to almost lose all MediaTek to end up losing, and finally he could only turn his vests and go on the battlefield? Why did he continue to mess with this thing?
In fact, it is very simple to put it bluntly. What I said before was that Cai Mingjie fell a big hit in the counterfeit mobile phones, and he almost couldn't protect himself. But Cai Mingjie is not a simple person. After he replaced MediaTek with Taiwan Lianji's vest, he still focused on the mobile phone industry with huge potential at first glance. Although Cai Mingjie made a lot of profits from HTC's cooperation, and through Samsung's cooperation, Taiwan Lianji produced and designed new smartphone chip systems for Samsung. However, Cai Mingjie was only satisfied with this, so he would not be Cai Mingjie. From the beginning, his goal was to build his business kingdom into a world-wide mobile phone chip system empire.
How can we achieve this? The cooperation between HTC and Samsung alone cannot satisfy Tsai Mingjie's desires. But if you produce your own mobile phone, that is, you will create a mobile phone brand owned by Tsai Mingjie, he does not have this idea or plan. From this point of view, Tsai Mingjie's business perspective and view are very different from Zhou Liwen. Zhou Liwen's goal is to create a giant like IBM in the IT industry or the personal computer industry, while Tsai Mingjie focuses on the mobile phone chip system
In his unified research and development and manufacturing, his goal is to be similar to Intel, a chip giant. In his opinion, the brand of a mobile phone is too limited and the business world is ever-changing. If Taiwan Lianji wants to develop comprehensively, it does not have such great energy and capital, and its market risks are too great. It is better to specialize in developing mobile phone chip systems and build its own company, that is, Taiwan Lianji, into a company with a status similar to Intel in the computer industry. If it can be successful, Cai Mingjie will always be invincible.
From a business perspective, Cai Mingjie's considerations cannot be wrong, let alone wrong. His and Zhou Liwen's choices have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is also a path for the rapid development and growth of the company. In his previous life, Cai Mingjie was successful, and this successful example also represents the sharpness and decisiveness of his business vision. Although Cai Mingjie suffered a considerable loss in this life due to Zhou Liwen, he still felt that his decision was still correct.
So, in the case of a huge storm in the mainland market due to MediaTek's counterfeit mobile phone chip serial number, what can Cai Mingjie do to break this situation? It has to be said that Cai Mingjie's mind is really good. As early as a few months ago, in a situation where no one knew, he quietly used the Taiwan Union Technology vest to make a secret layout everywhere, and began his second wave of counterfeit mobile phone preparation in Southeast Asia and even some parts of the mainland.
This time, Cai Mingjie's counterfeit mobile phones are different from before. Not only does the chip system have technology that is close to smartphones and even reaches most of the functions of Orz smartphones, but it also promises to customize professional chip systems for various factories. This time, due to the previous situation, Cai Mingjie did not make a big fuss, but chose some more powerful and reliable partners. Just a month ago, a series of various counterfeit mobile phones began to appear in Southeast Asia, including domestic markets. In just these days, with the rapid sales of these mobile phones, it has even affected the normal market sales of Orz and TCL mobile phones.
Mr. Li just discovered this situation. After he learned the news, he immediately sent someone to check it. After checking it, he found that these counterfeit mobile phones pointed directly at Cai Mingjie's Taiwan-connected skills. This result made Mr. Li furious. At this time, Zhou Liwen was in South Korea and could only wait for him to come back before discussing countermeasures.
"There is something like this? It's not right! Isn't there a problem with copycat phones? How did this old guy, Cai Mingjie, get the number of numbers? If this problem is not solved, isn't he afraid of being sued again?"
Zhou Liwen asked in surprise, with a confused look on his face.
"I'm angry when I mention this!" Li Dong angrily slapped the table and said, "I've inquired a long time ago. Operators in Southeast Asia are not standardized, and these countries and regions have not strictly controlled telecommunications. So no one cares about these counterfeit mobile phones selling there. Do you know that in just over half a month, our mobile phone sales in Southeast Asia have dropped by a full 11 points!"
Zhou Liwen frowned. He didn't expect this problem, and this problem was completely unsolvable for him. Cai Mingjie was really capable and could take advantage of such a loophole. Once counterfeit mobile phones are flooded in Southeast Asia, it will be a huge loss for Zhou Liwen and Mr. Li.
"What about China? I just noticed that you mentioned that there are also counterfeit mobile phones sold in China. What's going on? Does the government ignore it?"
"Don't care!" Li Dong was even more angry when he heard Zhou Liwen's question, and said with a dark face: "After MediaTek's previous number-linking incident, the country did issue a document, which pointed out that impersonation or sharing number-linking is not allowed and is illegal, but the key is that one is not written on it, that is, what if there is no number-linking? Brother Zhou, the old man named Cai is even more refined than a monkey. This time, all his chip systems have been made into light boards, and there is not half a number-linking. Who can do this? Even if someone reports it, no one cares about it. This is simply unacceptable!"
"Damn!"
Zhou Liwen couldn't help but open his mouth and cursed, what! Is this okay? How did this old guy figure out this trick? There is no cell phone with a serial number? He can think of it! No wonder this guy is afraid. He used this method to make chip systems for counterfeit mobile phones, not only does not violate the regulations, but even the manufacturer and state cannot control it. Even if it is a little troublesome in formal sales channels, it cannot enter the telecommunications field or large-scale chain home appliance networks and shopping mall sales. But driven by the huge profits, ordinary merchants still have so many things? There are policies and countermeasures on the top, but just some private, individual and even other sporadic sales channels are not a small number.
The problem is serious now, and Zhou Liwen can't speak for a while. Although Cai Mingjie's move is a bit despicable, it can even be said to have taken advantage of the loophole. However, there is nothing to do if it is Director Li or Zhou Liwen.
The country issued a document on the serial number, which was caused by the MediaTek incident that was too big and had a wide impact. But now, unlike before, if Cai Mingjie continued to use Zhou Liwen's Orz mobile phone serial number, or TCL serial number, or even other mobile phone manufacturers' serial number, they would not be able to escape the prosecution and accusation from others. But this guy is unique and makes a copycat with light boards and no serial number, so he has nothing to do with any mobile phone manufacturer.
If he violates the rules, it means that he does not obtain an access license and cannot be sold online normally. But when it comes to this access license, in the early days of the reform and opening up of the mainland, many ordinary families who became rich first installed landlines after installing landlines. Although they purchased telephones with access licenses at designated locations of the Telecommunications Bureau, it is not ruled out that most people disliked the old style and few functions of these telephones, and used foreign relatives and friends to purchase and bring them to some foreign-produced telephones.
In fact, these phones do not have permission from the state telecommunications department, nor do they have any Internet access licenses. However, they do not affect normal use at all, and are even very popular among consumers in terms of call clarity and usage functions. In the same case, mobile phones without serial numbers cannot be used, and there is no problem in actual use. This is no different from the principle of replacing old landline phones with telephones produced abroad. If you use this kind of mobile phone to call, you can still connect and have all the functions you should have. The country will not check, and will not directly confiscate or restrict it.
Even if it is a production factory, as long as the counterfeit mobile phones produced do not directly enter the normal sales network, the relevant departments will have no choice. In the 21st century, commercial channels are no longer as single as in the 1980s and early 1990s. The decline of state-owned enterprises and the expansion of private and foreign-funded enterprises, and the commercial channels have become rich and diversified. It is not difficult for these counterfeit mobile phones to enter the market. Even if there are policies above, the bosses below can easily come up with a few or even dozens of counterfeit measures.
After frowning and thinking for a long time, Zhou Liwen asked about the functions and styles of these counterfeit phones. After learning some basic information from Mr. Li, Zhou Liwen breathed a sigh of relief, and was also a little lucky when she was afraid.
If Cai Mingjie had used this trick when Orz mobile phones were first launched, maybe Zhou Liwen himself was the one who was in a hurry at the beginning. Fortunately, Cai Mingjie made a big mistake in an impatient manner and was caught by Zhou Liwen, thus gaining the most precious time in the past two years.
Now that the other party has learned from his mistakes and has made a comeback, Zhou Liwen knows that Cai Mingjie's counterfeit mobile phones may be difficult to control like the previous one. As counterfeit mobile phones begin to spread like a virus, it is estimated that it will become popular around the world in less than a year or even half a year.
