Li Chengqian frowned. Actually, he had also expected the boycott.
He just didn’t expect it to come so quickly and harshly.
And, for companies like Google to have such strong say in the marketplace.
With just one warning, most mobile phone parts suppliers refused to supply to the Divine Dragon Software Company.
This was the dominance of companies like Google in the industry.
“President He, don’t be so pessimistic! We haven’t reached the point of no return!”
“We have another choice, which is to use domestically-produced mobile phone parts.”
“Help me contact Unisoc for the CPU, contact Changxin Group for the memory chip and hard disk. As for the phone screen, help me contact BOE.” Li Chengqian already had an understanding of the relevant players in the industry.
Although the relevant components were not as powerful as those from overseas, there were still substitute products.
“President Li, but these components aren’t top-notch products, especially Zhanrui’s CPU. Its performance can only be compared to Snapdragon’s low-end 710… Changxin’s memory isn’t the most advanced…” He Hongyan had actually considered using local products.
However, a good horse needed to be equipped with a good saddle, the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System had to be used on the best hardware in order to optimize its performance.
From the beginning, He Hongyan had positioned the phone as a high-end, top-notch product!
It was even more high-end than an Apple phone.
“Based on the current situation, we have no other choice!” Li Chengqian said in a low voice. In fact, his thoughts are similar to He Hongyan’s.
He would use the best hardware to make the best phone! The most powerful phone!
Currently, the most powerful phone on the market has an AnTuTu performance score of about 1.2 million points.
As long as he could purchase the same hardware and install the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, a performance of more than four times would reach more than 6 million points.
Even if Android and Apple were given five years, they might not be able to achieve this performance.
Change is the only constant.
However, even if he were to purchase all the domestically-produced hardware, Li Chengqian was confident that after the integration of the Divine Dragon System, his phone would be able to reach the level of a flagship phone on the market.
Its performance might not be as strong as Apple and Android, but the difference wouldn’t be substantial!
Moreover, with the support of advanced technologies such as application freeze technology, memory optimization technology, battery and process management technologies, it would definitely perform better than Android and Apple phones.
“President He, do as I say! Actually, it’s not bad to use all domestically-produced mobile phone hardware. The cost of the phone will be much lower. With the Divine Dragon System, the performance of the mobile phone will be guaranteed, and the phone we produce will be more competitive,” Li Chengqian said with a smile.
The performance of a flagship phone at the price of an entry-level phone!
He Hongyan shook his head in disappointment. If not for the blacklist by Google and other giants, Divine Dragon mobile phone could have become a top-notch flagship phone. It would have been in a different league!
And now, under the blacklist, they could only produce entry-level machines!
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.
However, this was indeed the best solution at the moment. “President Li, I’ll contact them now! I’ll inform you immediately once there’s news!”
He Hongyan had just left when there was a knock on the door.
Outside the door was Wang Renfei of Huawei and Zhou Shaoyun of the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company.
“President Wang, President Zhou, why are you here?” Li Chengqian asked.
“President Li, there are two reasons why I am here. The first is to apologize to you! We were wrong to take down the Divine Dragon Optimization App and ban the App!” Wang Renfei of Huawei spoke extremely sincerely. He even bowed to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian looked at Wang Renfei calmly and did not say anything.
“Secondly, I’m here to discuss a collaboration with you, President Li!” After Wang Renfei saw that Li Chengqian didn’t have any expression, he smiled bitterly, straightened up, and sat down again.
“As you know, our company is also on the sanction list…”
“I have some experience in this area.”
“These are the manufacturers that we have on the supply chain that we rebuilt this year. They’re all domestic manufacturers. The quality of all the manufacturers on the list is very good! If you’re determined to manufacture phones, this list should be able to help you.” Wang Renfei placed a list in front of Li Chengqian.
A mobile phone contained hundreds of electronic components. If there was a problem with the quality of any of the components, it would affect the quality of the mobile phone.
Wang Renfei had arranged for all the manufacturers on this list to be tested. In addition to the core components such as processors, memory, and hard disks, he had covered all aspects of mobile phone manufacturing.
With this list, there would be a supply chain.
Li Chengqian looked hard at Wang Renfei. The list provided by Wang Renfei was very important to him! It could save him a lot of time to screen the suppliers, allowing him to focus on more important areas, such as solving the issues with the phone.
“President Wang, I’ll accept this list! But I want to ask, why are you helping me?” Li Chengqian asked very seriously. He could feel that Wang Renfei was sincerely helping him.
“Because we’re on the same side! We’re all doing the same thing! We’re working hard to break the old rules of the world. We all want our country to become stronger! We all want our voice from the east to be heard in the world!” Wang Renfei’s tone was extremely firm.
“President Li, my business is done. If you need anything, call me.” After Wang Renfei finished speaking, he nodded at Li Chengqian and walked out without any hesitation.
“President Wang, please wait. I think we can have a good chat later!” The grudge Li Chengqian held against Wang Renfei dissolved after what Wang Renfei said and did.
Wang Renfei stopped and returned to his seat with a bright smile.
“President Zhou?” Li Chengqian looked at Zhou Shaoyun.
“President Li, I’m here to ask you for help!” Zhou Shaoyun smiled.
“We plan to produce 60 million phones this year. According to the requirements of the higher-ups, all these phones must be installed with domestic systems! Moreover, the higher-ups have already asked me to make a military pledge. If I can’t complete the mission, I’ll be fired on the spot!”
“President Li, you’re the only one in the entire Divine Dragon Country who has a domestic system. You’re the only one who can help me! Please help me.”
“Name your terms. I’ll think of a way to solve any problem for you!” Although Zhou Shaoyun’s words were asking for help, he was actually giving Li Chengqian peace of mind. Indirectly, he was telling Li Chengqian that the country was backing him up.
Originally, there was no such mission, but after Google and the other giants issued a ban on the Divine Dragon Software Company, the order was issued!
Moreover, the higher-ups’ direction was to do this at all costs!
To support the Divine Dragon Software Company!
To promote the usage of the Divine Dragon System!
This was the order that came down from the top!
One could only imagine the importance.
Just as Zhou Shaoyun had said just now, Li Chengqian could name any terms, and any issues could be resolved. He would do his best to help Li Chengqian solve them!
