For female users, just taking clear photos isn't enough. They are inherently beauty-loving. If a phone can take photos that are both more beautiful and clearer, most of them will choose the former.

Lu Haifeng looked up and asked his secretary, Xiao Ai, "What's their asking price?"

He was now completely interested in acquiring this soon-to-be-sold mobile phone business, because Huaxing Technology wanted to develop more mobile phone series in different directions, and Duowei had what Lu Haifeng needed.

"One hundred million!"

Secretary Xiao Ai, upon hearing Lu Haifeng's question, directly stated Duowei's asking price.

"One hundred million, that's a small goal right there!"

Lu Haifeng frowned slightly, clearly not very satisfied with the price.

Although Duowei's bundled business sale included what Lu Haifeng wanted, this price of one hundred million was much higher than Lu Haifeng had anticipated.

Lu Haifeng instructed Liu Jianyu, "Later, arrange for someone to talk to Duowei. If it exceeds eighty million, don't bother negotiating, just come back!"

Buying Duowei's mobile phone business for eighty million was Lu Haifeng's bottom line. If it exceeded eighty million, he would rather spend money to cultivate his own phone design team.

Liu Jianyu understood Lu Haifeng's meaning and immediately arranged for someone to contact Duowei Company.

The company's development direction had already been set before the new year, which was to deeply cultivate the derivatives of product series.

This matter had already started at the end of last year. In order to reduce Liu Jianyu's pressure, Lu Haifeng specially invited Yang Qiang, a veteran who had been in the mobile phone market for many years, to be the head of the Hongmeng S series mobile phones.

Now the third generation of Hongmeng S series mobile phones has been designed, and Yang Qiang is also urgently contacting suppliers.

They are starting to produce the third generation of Hongmeng S series mobile phones, striving to appear in the mobile phone market before April, becoming the first mobile phone released by Huaxing Technology this year.

As for Lu Haifeng's desire to buy Duowei Company's mobile phone business and design team this time, it was also to expand his product series.

Liu Jianyu also understood that if Lu Haifeng really bought these businesses, then the company would likely launch a mobile phone that focuses on female photography this year.

......

Duowei, a company that has been established for almost five years, is now facing a situation of disintegration.

Last year, the domestic mobile phone market was turbulent, so Duowei Company began to produce a large number of mobile phones and hired celebrity endorsements.

They wanted to carve out a path in this mobile phone market, but the final result was terrible.

A mobile phone priced at over two thousand yuan only sold about ten thousand units in half a year, and the company was left with 500,000 units of inventory.

In the end, in order to reduce losses and pay off suppliers, Duowei had to sell this batch of mobile phones at a low price, and still lost more than two hundred million.

Duowei didn't have that much capital in the first place. With this batch of mobile phones not selling, it not only caused serious losses to the company.

Now the company is basically in a state of strike because the company has no money to produce mobile phones anymore.

And Duowei's chairman and directors are unwilling to put money into this bottomless pit anymore, so they can only sell the company's mobile phone business and design team as a package.

Now, in the Duowei Company's senior management conference room, Fan Jiaxin looked at the directors sitting in their seats and told them that Huaxing Technology had offered 80 million to acquire their company's mobile phone business and design team.

Fan Jiaxin looked at the directors sitting in their seats, feeling very emotional!

Duowei Mobile was founded in 2009. At that time, Fan Jiaxin seized the opportunity to win over a group of investors and raised 50 million to create the current Duowei Mobile.

When Duowei Mobile was first established, it aimed at female users and used overwhelming advertising to promote its mobile phones.

And Duowei's most prosperous period was in 2010, when the company's total revenue reached more than one billion.

However, since 2010, the company's operations have been deteriorating. Especially after 2013, the company's revenue has basically been losses, and continuous losses have finally brought the company to this point.

Fan Jiaxin also knew very well that the directors of the company had made a lot of money in the past few years.

But now that it has come to a critical moment, no one is willing to lend a hand to Duowei Mobile's business.

Fan Jiaxin, who was unwilling to sell the mobile phone business in the first place, couldn't resist the pressure from some directors in the company, which made him finally make this decision.

In the conference room, Fan Jiaxin looked at the directors with a slightly tired expression, looking at how much fatter they had become over the years, and asked with some reluctance, "Do you think we should agree?"

"In this situation, if we keep holding on to the mobile phone business, the company will be dragged down!"

"Now that someone is offering 80 million, we can sell it. With these funds, the company can reinvest in other businesses!"

"While the brand is still worth something, let's sell it quickly!"

Fan Jiaxin saw that these directors had no intention of saving the company's mobile phone business.

He also understood that this road had come to a dead end, and now he could only sell the mobile phone business and core team to Huaxing Technology as a package.

The directors of the company and Fan Jiaxin were no longer on the same boat. The directors of the company had long been eager to sell the mobile phone business in order to reduce their losses.

On the third day, after receiving a reply from Duowei Company, Lu Haifeng directly chose to take a plane to Shenshi to sign a contract with Duowei Company.

Fan Jiaxin looked at Lu Haifeng and said with some disappointment, "President Lu, you are really young and promising!!"

"I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future!"

"President Fan, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"

Fan Jiaxin looked at Lu Haifeng in front of him and admired Lu Haifeng very much. After all, he had been watching the rise of Huaxing Technology all along.

Lu Haifeng also noticed Fan Jiaxin's disappointment, but Lu Haifeng did not speculate on the other party's feelings.

After all, Duowei Mobile has come to an end, and I am afraid that Fan Jiaxin will not engage in mobile phone business in the future.

After the two companies signed the contract, it was time for the handover. It would probably take more than a week for Duowei Company's mobile phone business to be completely handed over to Huaxing Technology.

After all, Duowei Mobile has been operating for so many years, and the mobile phone business team has more than 100 people, plus some mobile phone business-related documents and materials.

Lu Haifeng went back after signing the contract. After all, he didn't need to worry about these handover matters, and there would be someone specially responsible for it.
