107: Chapter 107 Is Vanmi Desperate?

Fanmi Technology.

Lei Jun's office.

"Old Lei, have you watched the Samsung press conference? Their newly launched camera phone only has 5 megapixels..."

Li Guoqiang pushed open the office door with an excited expression, his voice entering the room even before he did.

"I'm watching it right now!" Lei Jun looked up at Li Guoqiang and said with a smile, then turned his gaze back to the computer in front of him, which was live-streaming the Samsung mobile phone press conference.

"It's unbelievable. I remember that after Company Name partnered with us, their latest product should be able to reach the ten-million-pixel level, right?"

"That's right, it's double that of Samsung!"

"Hahaha, this Samsung technology isn't even that good. It's so far behind us. It's a shame they even have the nerve to shout the slogan 'a mobile phone is a camera'!"

"They don't know that our camera has also completed a technical upgrade!" Lei Jun shook his head with a smile, unable to help but feel a bit emotional inside.

Currently, most smartphone camera suppliers in the market can only achieve around 3 megapixels in technology, so Samsung launching a 5-megapixel camera phone is indeed very competitive at this stage.

Originally, he was worried that Samsung would rely on this camera phone to seize the market for Fanmi 1, since the main highlight of Fanmi 1 is not photography.

Consumer needs are diverse, and surely many people will buy this new Samsung phone just for the camera function.

But now, he breathed a sigh of relief. Even with 5 megapixels... compared to the 10-megapixel camera that the second-generation fanmi mobile phone will use, the gap is not just a little bit.

Once the second-generation mobile phone hits the market, this will be an overwhelming advantage. Even if Samsung takes some market share now, we can quickly win it back later; there's no need to worry at all.

"The camera issue has been solved. I just hope there are no surprises elsewhere, and that the second-generation mobile phone can be successfully launched!"

Li Guoqiang clenched his fists. His excitement gradually faded, and his expression became serious again.

He knew very well that the camera is just one component of the phone. No matter how powerful it is, if the phone cannot be made, it is meaningless!

"Don't overthink it. As long as the direction is right, you don't have to fear the long road. Fanmi has just started on its path. Always believe that good things are about to happen!"

Lei Jun said with a smile. Even if he was a bit unsure inside, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.

"Your mindset is certainly good!" Li Guoqiang looked at Lei Jun and shook his head with a wry smile.

"No choice, I learned it from Zhou Fan!" Lei Jun also laughed.

Just then, his phone suddenly rang. Lei Jun picked it up and glanced at the caller ID.

"It's General Manager Xu from Company Name!"

Li Guoqiang watched as Lei Jun answered the phone and walked to the window; he didn't leave.

A few minutes later, Lei Jun hung up the phone.

"How is it?"

"General Manager Xu called specifically to thank Zhou Fan, and also took the liberty of making a military pledge, saying that mass production of the new camera will be achieved within a month!"

"That's great. This way, before my mobile phone hits the market, there definitely won't be a shortage of cameras. It seems they are also very excited!"

"How could they not be excited? A small company that originally had a market value of less than 100 million, suddenly surpassed a giant like Samsung in technology. Before this, they probably wouldn't have even dared to imagine it!"

"That's true. If it were me, I would definitely be so happy I wouldn't know which way is up. They are really a lucky bunch..." Li Guoqiang smiled, feeling a bit emotional.

"Speaking of lucky ones... it seems we are the luckiest ones, right!" Lei Jun also laughed.

"I can't argue with that!"

Thinking of Zhou Fan, the smile on Li Guoqiang's face deepened, and he felt inexplicably excited.

He knew very well that Fanmi could have today only because of Zhou Fan. Fanmi is lucky, but they only received Zhou Fan's guidance on optical lenses. As for what other surprises Zhou Fan can bring to Fanmi in the future, even he cannot guess.

After pondering for a moment, Lei Jun's expression returned to seriousness, and he spoke again.

"Our progress on the second-generation mobile phone hasn't been updated for a long time. Let's release the news about the camera upgrade first to warm things up!"

"Alright, you are still the thoughtful one!"

Li Guoqiang's eyes brightened slightly, then he nodded heavily and turned to leave the office.

...

Samsung China headquarters.

"The results of our press conference this time are very good. The first-day pre-orders have already exceeded 100,000 units!"

"According to this trend, the market share of this year's new phone should have a significant increase!"

"..."

"Not bad. Taking advantage of this popularity, offline promotion must also keep up; we cannot be careless!"

Piao Qianshu listened to the report from the mobile business marketing manager, nodding gently with a clear smile on his face.

"Yes!" The marketing manager nodded, but then said with some hesitation: "Just now, Fanmi released a message saying that they have confirmed a new camera supplier..."

Hearing this, Piao Qianshu laughed.

"They are starting to get anxious now, even trying to piggyback on the popularity of our camera phone... Have you found out which company their new supplier is? Sony?"

"Not yet!"

"It seems they are indeed at a dead end!" Piao Qianshu smiled again.

According to the information he received, currently Samsung's camera technology has made the breakthrough first, and other foreign manufacturers have not yet followed up.

As for domestic ones, there is even less to say. Without technical accumulation, it is impossible to surpass us. Most domestic camera manufacturers are still picking up technology that Samsung has phased out.

A new camera supplier? In his view, it's a joke. He is confident that this time, he will definitely suppress Fanmi.

So what if they have a self-developed system?

The Second-generation Fast Charging Technology can only be used after the second-generation mobile phone comes out. Fanmi can't just directly upgrade the first-generation mobile phone.

The reason Piao Qianshu is launching a camera phone now is to seize the existing market of Fanmi 1, and now it looks like the effect is not bad.

It has already met expectations.

As for the second-generation mobile phone, he is not worried at all, because he knows very well that whether Fanmi can build it is still an unknown.

It's still the same thing: without chips, Fanmi can only keep dragging it out.

Dragging it out until the company goes bankrupt!

Once the market for Fanmi 1 is all snatched by them, the speed of Fanmi's bankruptcy will be even faster!

This is something that can already be foreseen!

"Is there any movement from Apple?"

He thought for a moment, then asked again.

"Not for now..."

"Alright, you can go out first!"

"Yes!"

After the marketing manager left, Piao Qianshu thought for a moment, then took out his phone and dialed Lu Qun's number.
