Shortly after the new smartphone was launched, before the Spring Festival in the second year, Or's 3-version tablet was officially launched. Although, compared with the previous version, there are not many differences in the 3-version tablet overall. In addition to adding 3 functions, it has only improved screen resolution, camera pigment and battery, but even so, this product is still welcomed by consumers. Although its sales are not as popular as before, it also sells very well.

Shortly after Or launched the 3rd version of new smartphones and tablets, major companies also launched similar products. For example, Samsung Group, which followed Or, and the famous Apple, even HTC was not willing to fall behind. They even took out four different 3 smartphones in one go to show their ambitious market strategy.

Regarding HTC's move, some people within Or even proposed to learn HTC while it was hot, and also promoted several 3 phones with different shapes to supplement the current products, but this proposal was eventually rejected by Zhou Liwen.

At present, Or occupies the position of the leader in smartphones in the market, and Samsung Group ranked second, and HTC has climbed to the third place in market share with its product diversity and rapid updates. As for the overlord of the mobile phone industry, Nokia, although they have also switched from traditional 2 phones to the production of smartphones, Nokia has been holding on to the closed Symbian system and has always refused to open applications for free, making its mobile phone quality excellent, but its sales are declining and its market share is getting lower and lower.

Nowadays, Nokia barely occupies the fourth position from the perspective of branded mobile phones, but this fourth place is very rich. Because in addition to the first three, there are also some smartphones that are privately-owned, which is the original variant of counterfeit phones. With the improvement of the structure of the smartphone chip system and the reduction of hardware costs, more manufacturers have intervened in this market. Not only are mobile phone manufacturers in various countries, such as Europe and the United States, directly choose some more mature smartphone chip systems as customized models to save costs, but even some private manufacturers in China are also like this. For example, TCL Company, TCL’s smartphones are actually the smartphone chip customization system provided by Zhou Liwen. In addition to some functions, it is not as powerful as Or mobile phones, but as a low-end market product, it is a good choice. Now TCL’s smartphones are a supplement to Or mobile phones in the medium and low markets. Following Or, TCL has lived a very comfortable life in the past two years.

Of course, when it comes to this, we must not mention Cai Mingjie and his Taiwan Technology Union. Cai Mingjie, who finally recovered from counterfeit cottages, was very clear this time. He decisively began to transform last year, gradually changing from counterfeit phone production to supplying customized smartphone chip system manufacturers and foundries. These also give OEMs a lot of room. With this business, although the profits obtained by Cai Mingjie's company are much lower than those of counterfeit phones, they are much more stable than counterfeit cottages, and there will be no disputes. This is considered to be gains and losses.

In addition to these, Apple is also accelerating their smartphone research and development. Due to the maturity and development of technology, Apple is very fast. It is said that it has already produced a prototype and will be put into production soon. Zhou Liwen is very confident that by the time Jobs enters the smartphone market with Apple phones, it will inevitably lead to another reshuffle of the smartphone industry. HTCf, as the third position in the smartphone industry, will not be replaced by Apple for a long time, and may even surpass Samsung.

As for the final winners of Apple and Or competition, neither Zhou Liwen nor Jobs could give the answer. This is like two long-distance runners who participated without a finish line. Now Or is in the lead and Apple joined the competition as a chaser. But the schedule is long, which is an opportunity and problem for both sides. Zhou Liwen is confident in this competition with Apple, and he also dare not underestimate his opponent at all.

Compared with Apple and even Samsung, HT's multiple smartphones are just a joke in Zhou Liwen's eyes. Because Zhou Liwen is very clear that HT's work on this set is simply a no-return path. Too many styles and new models that can't wait to be launched every one or two months, it won't take long to make consumers feel at a loss about this, and instead feel disgusted with HTCi's approach.

Because, which consumer would use a product that is frequently updated and replaced, even the model code is extremely complicated, and even the internal employees of HTC company cannot understand? In his previous life, THC was abandoned by a large number of users because of this decision. Even HTC company believed that the reason for the decline in market sales was because there were not enough new products and not enough models, and they tried their best to sell various models and new mobile phones. Who would have thought that the more they did this, the faster they failed, and eventually the glorious HT became a third-rate mobile phone manufacturer.

So in Zhou Liwen's opinion, HTCf is not afraid at all. They are simply using their own martial arts to waste their efforts. Only fools can do this with them. The ten-month update period of electronic products has been verified by the market. Or company only needs to ensure that the update is about ten months, and even in the future, it will be fine if this time is extended to one year or a half.

Another thing has also attracted Or's attention, that is, software giant Microsoft seems to intend to enter the smartphone market, and it is said that it is also negotiating with the former mobile phone giant Nokia, and has a strong attitude of joining forces. Bill specifically reported this matter to Zhou Liwen with great importance. After listening to it, Zhou Liwen considered it and asked Bill to care about this matter. If the other party makes substantial progress, he will continue to follow up.

Zhou Liwen knew that the cooperation between Microsoft and Nokia would be successful. In his previous life, until Nokia was acquired, Microsoft was still struggling to make the project difficult to truly determine the project. To put it bluntly, their collaboration was a gimmick. Who knows whether it could be successful and how likely it is to succeed? Maybe neither of them had calculated it.

Of course, Zhou Liwen was not careless. After all, the smartphone industry has undergone earth-shaking changes, and perhaps this change has caused great changes in history. A lean camel is bigger than a horse, and Nokia has not yet reached the end of its end. If it really connects with Microsoft at this time, it is possible that a salted fish will turn over.

After the 3 tablet was released, Zhou Liwen rushed back to Xiangjiang. He went to Xiangjiang mainly because the 3 cooperation business in the mainland had been basically completed. In addition, the hot sales of -G smartphones and 3 tablets were China Unicom, and China Unicom asked to strengthen the 3 construction cooperation with Zhou Liwen. In addition, the mobile company also came to the door by itself. Richard had told Zhou Liwen about the situation a while ago. Zhou Liwen asked the personnel of Xiangjiang Telecom to negotiate with the other party according to the previous negotiations, but now the negotiations are basically the same. At the current critical moment, Zhou Liwen had to go there in person.

About a month before and after Xiangjiang, after the final difficult negotiations, Zhou Liwen and Richard finally signed an agreement with both parties on the terms of preferential terms and conditions compared to the previous cooperation. In terms of basic investment, the scale of investment this time was unprecedented, but in terms of interests it was a percentage point lower than before. However, the mainland market is different from overseas markets. Zhou Liwen is very clear about the potential of the mainland market, not to mention that the charging standards for 3 businesses are much higher in the mainland than overseas. From these perspectives, based on the overall calculation, Zhou Liwen can still obtain huge long-term profits.

After confirming the project, Zhou Liwen did not return to the United States, nor did he continue to stay in Xiangjiang, but went to Shanghai. This time, it was not because he was in love with his hometown, but he deliberately returned to Shanghai to stay for a few days. In addition to some of the business of the IT company in Shanghai that needs to be handled, Zhou Liwen also had to attend an old classmate's club opening ceremony.

"It's a good job. Did you buy or rent this place?" On this day, Zhou Liwen was very low-key and didn't even drive the car. Instead, he came to the club in Wang Jun's car. When he saw the place, Zhou Liwen smiled and nodded and said, "This place is composed of a large building complex covering an area. Although it is far from the city, it can be regarded as a large place in Shanghai. Not only does it have a complete hotel and a group of vacation villas, but it also has a golf course and tennis court. In addition, it is adjacent to Dingshan Lake and a yacht marina. The lake is very comfortable at first glance.

"We are not like you, all poor people. We bought them except hotels and villas. The stadium and wharf are rented. However, it is enough to sign a 6-year lease term." Wang Jun said with a smile, pointing his hand around and introducing Zhou Liwen. Speaking of this club, it is actually a vacation club. Several shareholders are old classmates, including Wang Jun, Cao Yan, and Zhang Jian and his wife. Basically, several people who were the last class reunion participated.

In the past two years, Wang Jun made the most money, because of Zhou Liwen's words, he rushed into the real estate market without hesitation. Of course, he did not use it as an investment but as a speculation, and even used his hometown Wenling to get a large amount of money, which was sold in Shanghai, including Kyoto.

At first, he didn't dare to do too much, but soon after Zhou Liwen's identity was revealed, Wang Jun was startled, and then he strengthened his courage and pulled his classmates to get better. Several people used their relationship to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to play real estate speculation, and with bank loans, their wealth and a gas-filled balloon were swelling violently. Even Zhou Liwen's luxurious sky-high real estate project were interfered and made a lot of money.

When he came back last time, Zhou Liwen and Wang Jun met in private. When they learned that he had passed, they reminded him that he would be the one who speculated about real estate, but it is better to be different from private equity. After all, there is too much possibility of playing the edge ball here. Once the government uses this to investigate, there is no place to run.

In addition, although this real estate is easy to make money, too much speculation is not the same thing, and it still needs to be considered for a long time. Therefore, Zhou Liwen suggested that Wang Jun and others engage in long-term investment to stabilize returns, so as not to cause speculation failure after future market changes.

Wang Jun earned the wealth he had never thought about in less than two years. He was so excited that he didn't feel hot. After Zhou Liwen advised him, he thought carefully and felt that what Zhou Liwen said was right. For this reason, he gradually paid off the money from the private equity, continued to invest in real estate for speculation, and also took out part of it to do a serious business. Since Wang Jun used to run a travel agency and was proficient in entertainment and leisure, several people discussed and prepared to invest in a club, and now they are the results of their investment.

Today is the first day of opening, and there was no grand ceremony. According to Wang Jun, it is just a trial business now, so that Zhou Liwen, the big boss, can experience it and find faults for them. It is not too late to hold a lively ceremony when the business is officially opened.

When he entered the hotel lobby, the waiter in a bright uniform had already stood on both sides. When Zhou Liwen and Wang Jun walked into the gate, they bowed left and right and said to welcome him. Zhou Liwen looked at the scene that was similar to the appearance of the black boss, and then saw Li Jian and his wife standing not far away to greet them.

"Jay Jay Chou, welcome." Li Jian was no longer the way he looked at the bus company, nor was he when he was in Guo. Now he is wearing a fitted casual outfit with a confident smile in his expression. As for his wife beside him, he is also bright and charming, and a velvet long dress shows a graceful temperament.

"You kid, you still call me Jay Chou now? Do you have to ask me to change my words and call you Boss Li? Wang Jun, what should you do?"

Wang Jun smiled and said, "Old Li said the wrong thing, he will be fined three drinks later."

"No problem" Li Jian smiled and nodded repeatedly, and changed his words: "Old Zhou, you came here today, it's a blush. We haven't seen each other for a long time. We must drink a few more drinks later?"

"Must," Zhou Liwen laughed and said hello to Li Jian's wife. Li Jian and his wife have been grateful to Zhou Liwen since they went to Guo's house. When Zhou Liwen mentioned Wang Jun and asked him to make money by buying a house, he did not pull this old classmate down. He specially asked Wang Jun to take them with them. In two years, although Li Jian did not earn as much as Wang Jun, he now has a net worth of tens of millions (of course, RMB). This time, Wang Jun wanted to set up a club, so he simply pulled Li Jian and his wife in. On the one hand, Li Jian and his wife are old classmates, and on the other hand, they are both real and trustworthy. Letting them be responsible for their daily administrative work is a very good candidate.

"Where is Yan Zi? Why is she not here?" The few people laughed and chatted for a few words. Zhou Liwen asked strangely when he looked around.

"Swallow, look, isn't this coming?" Li Jian was about to say something, but suddenly reached out to the door and pointed and smiled.

When I looked back, I saw Cao Yan wearing a red leather jacket and sunglasses, dressed in a very neat way, and when she saw Zhou Liwen and the others, the woman cheered like a little girl and rushed over.

"Old Zhou, you are the richest man in the world. We had hidden us so much trouble at the beginning." When she saw Zhou Liwen, Cao Yan blamed him impolitely. Zhou Liwen was so happy that he could not help but bow and make apologize. Among the few people present, Cao Yan had no time to see him since the last class reunion, so it was not an exaggeration to mention this matter when she saw Zhou Liwen.

"But, you kid still has a conscience. When you were rich, you didn't forget your brothers and sisters. This account won't be calculated with you." Cao Yan smiled again in a blink of an eye, and asked Zhou Liwen: "I'll ask you, didn't you promise Shi Wen to go to Europe last time? It's been more than two years in this blink of an eye. Have you forgotten what you promised?"

"Do you still have any contact with her?" Zhou Liwen asked in surprise.

"Don't you know nonsense, there is still her shares in this place. Do you think you have any contact?" She glared at Zhou Liwen and Cao Yan said, "What you promised must be done. Wenwen asked us several times. Although she didn't say anything, she just asked a few of us classmates to go to Europe to have fun together, but even a fool can see that she said we are actually thinking of you."

"I said Yanzi, this is not a mess." Who would have thought that Cao Yanxin was so straightforward that he said so clearly that Zhou Liwen almost got sweaty.

"Tell you have a wife, she has a husband, why are you afraid of? They are all classmates, oh oh, can you still think of something dirty in your head?" Cao Yan asked with a smile on her lips, and Zhou Liwen was even more amused and crying. She couldn't answer this woman's words casually, and she accidentally got trapped in.

This time I came here, I had to stay here for two days. Wang Jun arranged a good arrangement. Of course, I live in a villa area. Although the villa here is not as good as the villa in the city, it is also quite good. Zhou Liwen, Wang Jun and Cao Yan were arranged in two villas in the consortium, and Li Jian and his wife were enough to live there. In addition to golf, tennis and yachts, they could also fish by the lake, or go to the hotel's hot springs to make spas, etc. The meal was very simple, and there was a farmhouse nearby. The chef of the hotel made some fresh vegetables and meat to make farm dishes, which made everyone who was tired of the city taste very happy. At night, everyone can play mahjong in the living room, which was purely a leisure activity. Zhou Liwen has rarely lived this kind of life in recent years, and he was very excited about it.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Zhou Liwen was very excited to build the Great Wall. He was lucky today. He started from 8:30 and touched several times in a row. The chips in front of him were piled up. Wang Jun lost the most. However, this guy seemed to be a veteran, but his expression was the calmest. He had a cigarette hanging on his mouth and a card in his hand. He felt very satisfied that he had already heard it.

The deck of cards in Zhou Liwen's hand was almost done, and it was all his work. It was his turn to touch the card and touch Zhang Sanwan. Zhou Liwen happily played a miscellaneous card and put the card he wanted in the position it should be.
Chapter completed!
