Chapter 76 The Big Mouth That Lives Up to Its Name
Just after TaiShan OS completely ignited digital forums, Huawei's official Weibo account released a formal announcement.
"On September 15th, a brand-new smart experience will be launched at the Kyoto National Convention Center."
Huawei's Mate series has officially arrived.
The accompanying image is a silhouette, with the outline of a phone and the words "Taishan OS" vaguely visible.
After the official confirmation, the digital forums were in an uproar.
"It's confirmed, this new system is the one Huawei wants to use."
"So, was this developed by Huawei or... Transsion?"
"Upstairs, why are you concerned about this? You just need to remember that Transsion's largest shareholder is Huaxin Investment. But this investor also holds 50% of Huawei's terminal products."
This simple leak has once again shocked the entire digital market.
Did Huawei sell 50% of its shares in the retail sector?
When did this happen?
Didn't they say they had given up on selling it? How come they sold it quietly again?
Thus, Huawei's sale of 50% of its terminal business has once again become a hot topic. After all, the previous valuation was as high as 40 billion US dollars. In a time when everyone is short of money due to the financial crisis, being able to spend such a large price...
This Huaxin Investment is indeed quite remarkable.
Could it be that American capital is just a front for another deep dive into China's technology industry, using the financial crisis to fleece the world?
[Wall Street: You're saying who's profiting from whom? Those are my words...]
Wang Tao looked at the jubilation on the forum and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
Because he remembered another private message that "Big Mouth Yu" had just sent him.
"Moderator, thank you for the review and for the promotion. Actually, I'm from Huawei's terminal product line. The TaiShan OS EM UI beta version was co-developed with Transsion."
The Mate series makes its domestic debut.
After the press conference, I would like to invite you to visit Huawei.
If you're interested after graduation, you can join us.
Upon seeing the Boss Zhipin (a job recruitment platform), Wang Tao's hand suddenly trembled, and he almost dropped the cup.
Yu Chengdong, the outspoken man?
He had also done some research these past few days. This person was the head of Huawei's terminal mobile phone business. According to some senior colleagues, this Mr. Yu was highly regarded and had a good chance of being promoted to CEO or chairman in the future.
This big shot actually replied to him personally... Join now, and once this business develops, you'll definitely be a loyal follower.
After calming himself down a bit, he quickly replied, "Mr. Yu, it's a great honor. I will definitely be there on September 15th. Of course I've considered joining Huawei, and I hope to contribute to the development of domestic mobile phones in the future."
In the following days, Huawei continued its normal promotional efforts, allowing more people to learn about the Mate 1 phone.
Meanwhile, channel negotiators also began to take action, their main target being telecommunications operators. All they needed to do was get Mate devices into their stores and offer a certain rebate, and that would be it...
In some telecommunications business negotiations, everything went smoothly, and many telecom operators have already put up Mate 1 slogans at their entrances.
Mate 1 is one step ahead...
This major operation also made Lei Jun, who was still working at Kingsoft, sense something was amiss, and he secretly made a plan in his mind.
…………
Time quickly came to September 15th, at the Kyoto National Convention Center.
This press conference was indeed very lively.
The venue, which can accommodate 5000 people, was already packed. In the media area, several media outlets almost came to blows over a good camera position if it weren't for the on-site management.
The audience area below the stage was also full of people, with many digital enthusiasts curiously craning their necks, eager to know how Yu Dazui would introduce this Mate phone and the TaiShan OS that runs on it.
Should we directly acknowledge it or continue with the custom-made version?
In the guest area below the stage, Shen Fei and Zhang Mingzhu sat in the first row, next to Ren Zhengfei and other senior executives...
"Are you nervous?" Zhang Mingzhu asked softly.
She also learned about something big these days.
What exactly was the small business that Shen Fei mentioned when he first picked her up?
A small business worth over 20 billion US dollars...
Shen Fei watched as he stroked her soft hair, then shook his head: "Don't be nervous, I've done everything I was supposed to do. Now it's up to President Yu to put on a good show."
But we will definitely succeed.
Looking at the two of them, Ren Zhengfei beside them also revealed a maternal smile. Others might not know who this young lady in front of them was, but he knew very well…
The stage lights gradually dimmed, and the large screen lit up, playing a promotional video.
From telephone switches to PHS phones, then to feature phones, and finally to today's Huawei Mate series...
The final image shows a line of text: "Born to change... Huawei Mate series."
Amidst applause from the audience, Yu Dazui walked onto the stage.
He dressed up nicely for the press conference, wearing a dark gray suit and carrying a small box.
Compared to the later Yu Dazui who frequently uttered witty remarks at the press conference, he was clearly a bit green at this time, but the imposing aura in his eyes was already beginning to take shape.
Good evening, everyone!
"I am Yu Chengdong, head of Huawei's mobile phone business. At today's press conference, I want to introduce a product that may change the landscape of smartphones in China."
His opening remarks perfectly fit the image of a big mouth; he's about to change the landscape of smartphones right from the start...
But this momentum also elicited scattered applause from the audience, interspersed with some disdainful remarks.
You're saying you're changing the landscape of the Chinese mobile phone market, but why don't you say you're changing the world's technological landscape?
He brags without even thinking!
Before I introduce it, let me ask a question.
Last year, Apple released the groundbreaking Apple 3G. This February, our competitor, Meizhu M8, was released, but it runs on Windows.
It seems that the entire industry has entered the first year of smartphones, but this has also led to a series of problems.
So I'd like to ask here, what are the complaints of smartphone users?
Some people in the audience started shouting, "It's too choppy!"
"The battery isn't enough."
"The photos don't look good."
On stage, Yu Dazui nodded: "Lag, battery life, camera... these are some of the major pain points of smartphones."
Today, Mate will solve all the problems at once.
He opened the box in his hand and took out his phone.
The dark gray metal body gleams subtly under light. The five-inch screen almost fills the entire front, with bezels that are extremely narrow compared to other manufacturers.
The back features a frosted finish, with a mirror in the upper right corner and the "HUAWEI" logo and the word "mate" printed in the lower center.
When the logo was broadcast to the big screen by the director, many long-time users of Huawei's functional areas in the audience immediately cheered.
This design is absolutely amazing!
Yu Dazui held the Mate 1 in front of the camera for a moment, then placed it in the display case next to him.
"First, fix the lag."
Yu Dazui pointed to the text on the PPT and introduced: "Our Mate1 runs TaiShan OS, which is an operating system independently developed by our strategic partner Transsion Technology."
This single sentence immediately had a huge impact!
It's not that I don't believe it's a self-developed system, but I simply can't believe that Yu Dazui would admit it so directly?
Are Huawei and Transsion really going to develop their own operating systems?
While they were staring blankly, the operating system appeared on the big screen.
Yu Dazui swiped, opened apps, switched tasks... the whole process was very smooth, without any lag.
