"Nokia and those brands, fighting a price war, cannot threaten the Little Smart. Price is now the advantage of the Little Smart, not theirs!" Li Dongling said.

The domestic Little Smart market has stabilized. Although mobile phone brands like Nokia, Motorola, and Ericsson are also fighting price wars, it is difficult to threaten the Little Smart's position in the short term. After a period of time, the Little Smart can lower prices again. Anyway, fighting a price war, with Dongling High-Tech's current production cost, who has the Little Smart been afraid of?

If Nokia has the ability, lower the 8850 mobile phone to 4,000 yuan, 3,000 yuan, or even 2,000 yuan. Dongling High-Tech is confident that the Little Smart can still make money if it lowers the price to 2,000 or 3,000 yuan, but can Nokia guarantee it?!

At this time, Nokia is not yet the global mobile phone giant with dozens of mobile phone production parks and thousands of component companies earning money around it, holding a full set of high, medium, and low-end mobile phone industrial chains, with high-end models of thousands of USD, and also hundreds of USD, or even one hundred, dozens of USD machines used to rush sales.

Back then, in order to fight a price war, Nokia could use a powerful supply chain to compress the production cost of the 1280 machine used to rush sales to 30 USD. The domestic sales price once reached 199 yuan RMB. That was the beginning of Nokia falling from the altar. At that time, the first generation of Apple mobile phones had already been released, but it was also the peak moment of Nokia, and its mastery of the mobile phone component supply chain was already pure.

Even 30 USD is not Nokia's limit. It also plans to smash the cost of a mobile phone to below 5 Euros, truly letting men, women, and children all over the world use Nokia mobile phones.

At that time, if it weren't for the arrival of smartphones, Nokia was terrifyingly strong and could crush any opponent in the mobile phone industry. But now, it is still more than a little bit short of heat. Its mastery of the mobile phone supply chain is far inferior to Dongling High-Tech, and it can't afford a price war at all.

"Authorizing patents to brands like UT Starcom and Xia Xin might affect the Little Smart's sales in the country, but as the Little Smarts produced by these brands enter second-tier cities, counties, towns, and villages, Dongling High-Tech's revenue will increase!"

UT Starcom's Wu Ying was not wrong. If Dongling High-Tech doesn't occupy these places' Little Smart markets, then copycat machines and pirated machines will occupy them." Li Dongling said to Ren Yuefeng.

Ren Yuefeng heard this and also knew that Li Dongling was telling the truth. Authorizing the Little Smart patent, Dongling High-Tech might not earn less, and might even earn much more than before!

Dongling High-Tech's Little Smart occupies big cities like Yanjing, Shanghai, Yangcheng, etc., letting brands like UT Starcom and Xia Xin enter second-tier cities. The more machines they sell, the more commission Dongling High-Tech gets from it.

It's just like Japan harvesting the domestic DVD industry. Dongling High-Tech relies on collecting patent fees and selling key components of the Little Smart. It is said that it earns more than producing and selling it itself. After all, planting leeks yourself requires buying seeds, fertilizing, glue, labor costs, transportation costs, advertising, store expenses, etc., all of which Dongling High-Tech has to pay for itself. But harvesting leeks only requires a sickle.

That's how it's said, but for Ren Yuefeng, the Little Smart is one of the highlights of his career, and the Little Smart is an out-and-out super gold mine. Letting it go like this naturally makes him a little reluctant.

"Next, the Little Smart also needs to charge into overseas markets. If fighting on two fronts, the Little Smart's production capacity is not enough at all. Now, while retaining the domestic market share, the Little Smart must try to charge into overseas mobile phone markets such as Brazil, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Mexico, etc.!" Li Dongling instructed Ren Yuefeng.

Brazil, Bangladesh, and other markets, consumption power is definitely not as good as America, old Europe, etc. Ericsson and Qualcomm temporarily look down on these markets because GSM and CDMA communication equipment are expensive, and local telecommunications operators in these places cannot afford it. The cost-effectiveness of PHS base stations in these places is much higher than theirs.

And mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are. As long as the market in these regions is opened, if added together, it is conservatively a market of more than tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of Little Smart mobile phones, almost on par with the domestic Little Smart user scale.

Plus Ericsson's GSM communication equipment and base stations cannot be laid over in a short time, Nokia and Motorola mobile phones cannot be sold over, and the Little Smart's competitive pressure is even smaller than in the country!

In these places, what is earned is not USD, but it is still foreign exchange, which can be used to buy local food, mineral resources, etc. Earning the other party's money and harvesting the other party's leeks with high-tech products is better than the other party harvesting the mainland's leeks with high-tech products!

Not only can mobile phones be sold, but PHS base stations and communication equipment produced in the country can also be sold overseas. And unlike domestic mobile phones and domestic brands that are so involutionary, going out, the profit is probably even higher.

"I understand!"

Ren Yuefeng nodded seriously. If it can be exported overseas, then the importance of the Little Smart in the country will probably increase by a notch. Now the country's importance to products sold in the country and things exported overseas is almost completely different.

"Ding"

The phone on the table suddenly rang. Li Dongling and Ren Yuefeng looked at each other, then picked up the phone. This was the call he was waiting for just now.

"Nakamura Vi-fu, is this your attitude toward allies?!"

"If the Little Smart loses the lawsuit in Japan, then I think Dongling High-Tech and Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company have no need to continue cooperation. Dongling High-Tech also doesn't need to help Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company develop overseas markets. If Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company wants to be the hegemon of the world telecommunications industry, then do it yourself. Dongling High-Tech will no longer support it!"

After the call was connected, before the opposite side could speak, Li Dongling took the lead in attacking, spraying with a voice full of "anger" at the other end of the phone.

Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company headquarters, Nakamura Vi-fu, who had just connected the phone, was sprayed with dog blood, making him stunned there. Speaking of which, since he became the president of Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company, how long has he not been sprayed?

The last time he was scolded was the three-hall trial held by the Ministry of Japan and the Ministry of Communications of Japan. That was to split Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company, but those old gentlemen of the family-hereditary sect also treated him coldly, but didn't dare to point at his nose and scold his mother.

Usually, Nakamura Vi-fu would have been angry, but listening to the words "hegemon of the world telecommunications industry," it forced Nakamura Vi-fu to hold back his anger.

And Nakamura Vi-fu is indeed a bit guilty, and the Little Smart mobile phone is targeted by brands like Kyocera, Panasonic, Hitachi, etc. in Japan. Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company has a bit of watching the fire from the other side.

Nakamura Vi-fu wants to suppress the momentum of the Little Smart, so that Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company can suppress Dongling High-Tech and take away more revenue from the Little Smart.

But hearing that Li Dongling seemed to want to flip the table, Nakamura Vi-fu hurriedly comforted, "General Li Zong, I think there may be some misunderstandings in the middle!"

"I have always been very supportive of Dongling High-Tech and the Little Smart. This point has never changed!" Nakamura Vi-fu patted his chest, wishing he could let Li Dongling see through the phone line.

See if his heart is red or black.

People in Jianghu rely on acting. Even if they know that Nakamura Vi-fu's heart is black and what he just said is nonsense, not a word is true, Li Dongling has to cooperate to perform the play.

The rules of the game for adults, the performance that should be cooperated with, cannot be ignored. If it is exposed, the game cannot be played, otherwise how to tell lies with eyes open?

"But the Little Smart is targeted in Japan and overseas markets, and has received multiple lawsuits, and is also facing huge fines!"

Nakamura Vi-fu heard Li Dongling's words, although still with "anger," it was obvious that there was room for maneuver. "General Li Zong, this is something that can't be helped. Not only Dongling High-Tech, but our Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company is also being targeted!

But don't worry, with Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company here, the Little Smart will never be kicked out of Japan, nor will it be fined huge amounts!"

Hearing the silence at the other end of the phone, Nakamura Vi-fu said again, "As long as the Little Smart always stands with Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company, Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company will always support the Little Smart. In addition, this time, I personally want to give General Li Zong a gift!"

Nakamura Vi-fu said in a high-sounding way. He just wanted to take the opportunity of brands like Kyocera, Panasonic, and other Japanese mobile phone manufacturers targeting the Little Smart to beat it, letting the Little Smart's parent company Dongling High-Tech know that only Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company can help the Little Smart in the overseas market, letting the Little Smart always stand on the same boat as Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company in the overseas market.

Japan Telephone and Telegraph wants to promote PHS technology to more companies overseas and become the hegemon of the global telecommunications industry, so it cannot do without the support of the Little Smart. When it cannot use technology and patents to hold the Little Smart, Nakamura Vi-fu can only use these small means to let the Little Smart have a sense of crisis.

Stockholm syndrome can not only appear on people, but also on companies. As long as the means are played well, the persecuted company will be dependent on another company from top to bottom, as if leaving the other party, the company will go bankrupt.

Li Dongling listened to the nonsense of Nakamura Vi-fu on the other end of the phone, and could imagine that Nakamura Vi-fu must be showing a proud expression at this time.

Exhaling, Li Dongling smiled lightly. To make it perish, one must first make it crazy. Since Nakamura Vi-fu can't distinguish between big and small kings and still wants to hold Dongling High-Tech, then Li Dongling will help him!

Just relying on these crooked melons and cracked dates that Nakamura Vi-fu took out, he still wants to be a bait to fish Dongling High-Tech. Li Dongling will let Nakamura Vi-fu see what level the future president of the mainland Fishing Association is at fishing for culter!

"President Nakamura Vi-fu, the promotion of the Little Smart overseas needs the support of Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company, including public relations, promotion, publicity, and other expenses. I hope it can also be borne by Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company!"

As soon as Li Dongling said this, Nakamura Vi-fu was dissatisfied. The money was earned by the Little Smart, and Japan Telephone and Telegraph had to pay for advertising. Is there any reason, is there any law? Except for Japan's suzerain America that can harvest Japan's leeks like this, when have they ever suffered such anger!

Just about to get angry, he heard Li Dongling's later words, and the anger that reached his mouth turned into ecstasy.

"Dongling High-Tech will introduce investors for the Little Smart at an appropriate time. I hope that in the future, Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company can become one of the shareholders of the Little Smart..."

After speaking, Li Dongling felt the heat was not enough, and added another sentence, "Perhaps one day, when there is a change and we need to find a major shareholder for the Little Smart again, I also hope that Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company will take over the Little Smart brand. I think except for Dongling High-Tech, only Japan Telephone and Telegraph has the qualifications and ability to take good care of the Little Smart brand!"

As soon as this remark came out, I don't know what expression Nakamura Vi-fu had at the other end of the phone, but Ren Yuefeng, who was sitting opposite Li Dongling, was shocked to stand up. The information in Li Dongling's call was really too large, which scared Ren Yuefeng.

Ren Yuefeng is like this, let alone Nakamura Vi-fu. Authorizing the mainland's PHS patents to Dongling High-Tech has always been something Nakamura Vi-fu regretted breaking his legs, and not getting the Little Smart's equity made him regret it even more. Who can not be greedy for the Little Smart's exorbitant profits?

But now, Li Dongling put an opportunity to make up for all this in front of Nakamura Vi-fu, introducing Japan Telephone and Telegraph to become one of the shareholders of the Little Smart mobile phone, and in the future, it may even sell the entire brand to Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company!

Whether it is true or false, it let Nakamura Vi-fu see hope, an opportunity to take away the PHS mobile phone brand and patents, re-control the entire PHS upstream and downstream industrial chain, and eat alone! ===== CHAPTER 282 =====
