42: Nano battery in the left hand, Kunlun system in the right hand

Around ten in the morning, Lu Xingye's figure appeared somewhat sheepishly, with three people trailing behind him.

Deng Jun, Zhao Dawei, and Wu Bai.

These were the three elders of Suihuo Technology and Lu Xingye's three roommates. Due to Suihuo Technology's rapid rise, their positions had also changed.

Deng Jun, originally in charge of the logistics department, had now become the Sales Director, responsible for all product sales and material procurement within the company.

Zhao Dawei, originally the General Manager, hadn't changed much. He was the General Manager before, and he still was now. However, he had many more subordinates. Previously, he was a lone commander, but now he was a General Manager overseeing thousands of people.

Wu Bai, originally in charge of the R&D department, also saw significant changes in his position.

Wu Bai had now become the director of the newly established Suihuo Technology Research Institute and the Chief Engineer for Kunlun System R&D.

They were originally just ordinary university students, but now they had transformed into high-level executives for the most promising star enterprise in Kyushu.

“Cough, cough...”

Lu Xingye walked in from behind the door, past the many mobile phone manufacturers, and took the main seat in the conference room, letting out a soft “cough” to attract the attention of all the manufacturers.

Looking around, there were about thirty-four people in the conference room: Huawei Company, Xiaomi Company, Little T Company, Little O Company, Little V Company... almost all the more famous mobile phone manufacturers in Kyushu were present.

Oh.

That's right.

Fruit Company did not come.

Fruit Company is not an enterprise from Kyushu.

Suihuo Technology did not invite them, nor did it welcome them.

“Welcome, everyone, to Suihuo Technology's cooperation meeting,” Lu Xingye said with a slight smile, greeting them.

“Chairman Lu.”

“Hello.”

“I am Liu Hu, the CEO of Little T Company.”

“I would like to reach a deep cooperation regarding your company's Nano Battery product. How should we cooperate?” Liu Hu was from the Northeast; he was straightforward and didn't beat around the bush. He was the first to lose patience and ask.

“That's right.”

“Our time is very precious. Let's get straight to the point; you can just tell us how the Nano Battery is sold.”

“We will definitely cooperate with you.” The representative of Little O Company chimed in.

As soon as the Little O Company representative's voice fell, the surrounding mobile phone manufacturers glanced at him.

Isn't what you just said a bit too eager?

Who negotiates like that?

It's like you're saying you'll buy it no matter the price of the Nano Battery.

Isn't that just asking to be fleeced?

What a terrible teammate!

...Facing the questions from numerous mobile phone manufacturers, Lu Xingye's expression remained unchanged, and his heart showed no fluctuations. He paused for a moment before slowly continuing.

“You are mobile phone manufacturers, and Suihuo Technology is a mobile phone operating system manufacturer. So, our cooperation method will naturally be different from traditional methods.”

“New Energy Vehicle Manufacturers, computer manufacturers, wireless device manufacturers... Suihuo Technology adopts both authorized cooperation and retail cooperation methods.”

“However, for mobile phone manufacturers, I plan to use a bundled sales approach, packaging the Kunlun System and Nano Battery as a single product for unified sales.”

“In other words—if you want to purchase the Nano Battery, you must first purchase the Kunlun System.”

As soon as Lu Xingye's voice fell, a commotion broke out in the conference room.

Bundled sales?

That's really great.

Everyone has seen the excellence of the Kunlun System. Compared to the Kunlun System, neither the Android System nor the iOS System can compete.

Mobile phone manufacturers had been coveting the Kunlun System for a long time.

Now, hearing Suihuo Technology's cooperation method, each mobile phone manufacturer was overjoyed.

Some smaller mobile phone manufacturers even immediately lowered their heads, calculating if they had enough money, and whether they should borrow some from the bank to secure the authorization for the Nano Battery and Kunlun System first.

As for the Kunlun System being restricted by Fruit Company, mobile phone manufacturers were aware of it, but they didn't take it seriously.

A mobile phone operating system is software.

It needs to be paired with corresponding hardware to be used.

The reason Fruit Company could restrict the Kunlun System was likely because Suihuo Technology did not have its own mobile phone.

They, however, were different.

They were all hardware manufacturers.

Just imagine.

If every mobile phone came pre-installed with the Kunlun System, would Fruit Company's restrictions still exist?

Clearly, even if they did exist, Fruit Company's restrictions would be greatly weakened.

They might even have no impact on them... At this moment.

Lu Xingye's calm voice came through again.

“Suihuo Technology has and only has this cooperation method. If you cannot accept this cooperation method, you can leave directly.”

/Turn left at the door, no farewell/.

Of course, this was just a rhetorical remark from him.

Saying it in reverse would make him seem tougher and make it easier for him to take the initiative in negotiations.

Lu Xingye didn't truly intend for the manufacturers to leave, and the manufacturers wouldn't leave either.

Given the superiority of the Nano Battery, in the next year, or even less than a year, the Nano Battery would become a standard feature for mobile phones.

Any mobile phone without a Nano Battery would see a significant drop in its market share.

So... no one should leave. Even if some do, they would be insignificant small mobile phone manufacturers.

As expected.

After Lu Xingye finished speaking, he waited for a few more minutes.

Except for a few small mobile phone manufacturers, none of the major mobile phone manufacturers left.

Not only did they not leave, but their gazes became even more fervent.

The Nano Battery and Kunlun System were the new trends in the mobile phone industry!

Whoever could first obtain authorization for the Nano Battery and Kunlun System would gain the upper hand.

Now, this opportunity to stand at the forefront was right before them; it was up to them how to seize it.

“This is absolutely no problem.”

“Chairman Lu, even if you didn't do this bundled sale, we would still want to purchase the Kunlun System authorization.”

“The Kunlun System is truly excellent; if it weren't for Fruit Company's restrictions, it would have already become popular across the land.”

“Actually, we privately collected some data. Apart from Fruit Mobile (Apple iPhone), most Android mobile phones have been privately flashed. They all find the Kunlun System easier to use.”

“What about the authorization for the Kunlun System? If possible, I hope to get exclusive authorization.”

The mobile phone manufacturers' reactions were within Lu Xingye's expectations, but he had never imagined that people would have such a strong preference for the Kunlun System.

Lu Xingye smiled, looking at the mobile phone manufacturers without speaking.

Authorization is possible.

Exclusive authorization is out of the question.

The reason he opened up authorization for the Kunlun System was to unite other mobile phone manufacturers and tie them to his chariot.

To deal with Fruit Company together.

Lu Xingye had not forgotten what Fruit Company had done to him.

Simply because the Kunlun System was too excellent and threatened the iOS System, Fruit Company, without asking any questions, directly blocked the Kunlun System.

If Lu Xingye hadn't had film technology, Suihuo Technology would probably be on the verge of bankruptcy by now.

Now was the time to fight back... “Neither the Kunlun System nor the Nano Battery will adopt an exclusive authorization model,” Lu Xingye replied.

Upon hearing this, the mobile phone manufacturers were disappointed.

Especially CEO Xu of Huawei Group, whose gaze dimmed a few shades. Among those present, if anyone most wanted to obtain exclusive authorization for the Kunlun System, it was him.

And he was also the most capable.

“By the way.”

“Chairman Lu, I have a question. Will the Nano Battery be sold/authorized to Fruit Company in the future?”
