With this move, Zhao Chen has indeed opened up a new opportunity.
However, when people heard that Zhao Chen was actually going to start making mobile phones, everyone laughed at him for overestimating his abilities.
Are mobile phones so easy to make? Does Zhao Chen even know the most basic technology? How many top-notch tech experts in China can manufacture mobile phones themselves?
If they truly possessed that ability, they would have been famous throughout the world long ago.
So stop joking. Zhao Chen is an internet tech guy, and now he wants to get into the mobile phone business? Isn't that a bit overestimating himself?
Everyone knows now that the domestic mobile communications market is basically monopolized and dominated by a few foreign manufacturers.
The most famous one is Nokia. At that time, Nokia's sales accounted for more than 70% of the total mobile phone sales in the East.
Then came Motorola, Samsung, and so on.
Domestic mobile phone brands combined probably account for less than 5% of total sales, or even less.
Zhao Chen didn't know the specific data, but he was very clear that during this period, domestically produced mobile phones represented junk and counterfeit products.
However, it is precisely these counterfeit factories that have made the most basic mobile phone market a little different.
They also laid some initial foundations for each other.
What Zhao Chen needs to do now is to change people's impression of domestic brands.
It seems like everyone is now convinced that imported products are better.
But actually, many domestic products were already quite good at this time, and could even be exported, gradually making a name for themselves in the world.
What Zhao Chen needs to do now is to create his own brand!
Interestingly, Zhao Chen's decision to make mobile phones seems to have become a topic of conversation among high-level circles.
They felt he was overestimating himself.
It must be because after achieving success, they got carried away and thought they were invincible.
In fact, many people had already exclaimed that the Zhao family had finally produced a prodigy, and that he had already become a true dragon.
Zhao Chen's achievements are something everyone looks up to, especially his peers who are second-generation rich kids.
Compared to Zhao Chen, they all became useless.
Therefore, they had actually been quite unhappy with Zhao Chen for a long time.
But there's nothing we can do about it; they're just that amazing. Their talents and abilities would have been extremely impressive even by their parents' standards, let alone compared to them.
So now that this mishap has happened, Zhao Chen seems to have made a very stupid decision in a daze, and everyone can't help but gloat.
"Are there really such fools who think they can do anything?"
"This is not something an ordinary person can do. Does he really think he is omnipotent?"
"Putting aside everything else, just look at those big shots now, they've already dominated the market one by one."
"How will he compete with Nokia? How will he compete with Motorola?"
"Even the relatively weaker Samsung and Sony are Fortune 500 companies. The most powerful company Zhao Chen owns can't reach that level."
"Not to mention setting up a new venue to compete with others, isn't that puppy love?"
"Haha, he must have succeeded before and thinks he can always succeed. We can just wait and see him make a fool of himself!"
Most people at this point would be overjoyed, thinking that Zhao Chen was basically doomed this time.
Even if Zhao Chen really achieves something, will those oligarchs just let him go?
Don't be ridiculous. The reason why those counterfeit factories can survive is because they represent garbage quality.
They didn't take them seriously at all.
Is Zhao Chen any better than these knock-off factories? Maybe he's even worse than them!
This is a common perception among many people.
They felt they couldn't beat him, and Zhao Chen definitely couldn't either.
But they had no idea about the technology and power that Zhao Chen possessed.
Even in terms of production lines, after importing the most advanced batch of production lines from abroad, they can study them thoroughly and even replicate them.
At the same time, by adding some of your own small innovations, it becomes your own. Isn't that what domestic factories excel at most?
In this regard, Lei Jun knows many elite talents. When they all push forward, everything will naturally follow!
As for Zhao Chen's remaining tasks, he doesn't need to worry about them; he can leave them to Lei Jun to handle.
Because they all knew very well Lei Jun's competence.
Moreover, Zhao Chen knew very well that when Lei Jun founded Xiaomi in his previous life, he had done a great job.
Back then, Lei Jun wasn't as carefree as he is now. At least he didn't have a boss like Zhao Chen who fully supported him, gave him a lot of authority, and provided him with a lot of help.
Now that Lei Jun has such favorable conditions, the results he can achieve will naturally be even better.
After making arrangements for Lei Jun, Zhao Chen naturally needed to take a good look at his other businesses.
Penguin is developing steadily. With Zhao Chen's guidance, the path they took this time was more accurate. They didn't even suffer any detours or losses, demonstrating extremely strong vitality.
Moreover, Zhao Chen's game strategy showed Tencent what kind of synergy would occur if games were linked with Tencent.
Therefore, Zhao Chen didn't need to provide any ideas himself; Tencent had already started integrating all sorts of mini-games.
For example, we can directly acquire chess and card game software and link it with users, saving time and effort.
It can also add a batch of more active users.
Because of these card and board game apps, once people started using them, they were able to interact online again, leading to new forms of communication and exchange.
In a short period of time, a large number of highly engaged users can be generated.
Later, games like Mahjong, Dou Dizhu, and even Tetris were all added to Penguin's list of mini-games.
Of course, large-scale games are also gradually being developed.
The Blizzard franchise that Zhao Chen previously acquired is now putting its value to use.
Under Zhao Chen's supervision, several single-player games were transformed into a platform that could be interconnected via the internet.
Subsequently, various new collaborations were created, leading to a strategic partnership between Blizzard and Tencent.
They also experienced the benefits of this new type of instant messaging software.
Thanks to Zhao Chen's guidance, Blizzard Entertainment was introduced to the East earlier than in its previous life, and a large group of people were excited to see such a well-made product.
As a result, more young people joined the Penguin user base because of games or other forms of entertainment.
As a result, Tencent experienced another surge in its user base!
