#462 - Perfect industrial chain
Things became much simpler after Zhang Yiming agreed to Lu Haifeng's proposal!
Huaxing Technology and the cloud computing division led by Li Jun each invested 2 billion, and Audi Automobile invested 1 billion, for a total of 5 billion, acquiring 50% of the shares!
Audi Automobile has also invested in many hardware manufacturers and media industries in recent years!
Lu Haifeng's investment in ByteDance this time earned him 25% of the equity, but Zhang Yiming didn't want to squeeze the investor too much, so he gave Lu Haifeng a veto power!
Thanks to Lu Haifeng's connections, ByteDance successfully established contact with Huaxing Technology!
Furthermore, Lu Haifeng also promised Zhang Yiming that he would use his channels to promote ByteDance's software!
Helping ByteDance become one of the three giants in the mobile software industry is Huaxing Technology's main strategy in recent years!
With the promotion of the HarmonyOS 4.0 version, Douyin officially entered the eyes of netizens!
In the beginning, Douyin didn't become as popular as Lu Haifeng had imagined because it had relatively few users!
Lu Haifeng wasn't too worried when he saw Douyin's lukewarm performance in the office!
After all, he understood that it takes time for a software to go from release to popularity!
And time is the only criterion for testing whether a product is good or bad!
After Douyin didn't become as popular as he had imagined, Lu Haifeng didn't focus his attention on this software anymore!
Now, Lu Haifeng is calculating Huaxing Technology's shipments for the first half of the year!
Huaxing Technology's goal for the first half of this year is to reach 50 million units shipped, and completing this goal of 50 million units is not an easy task!
Lu Haifeng looked at the company's statistics and, to be honest, this year's sales are pretty good.
In the first half of the year, HarmonyOS X series products sold a total of more than 20 million units online and offline in China, and more than 6 million units in Japan!
Immediately following was the HarmonyOS S series, which was launched in May!
The total sales volume of this series in May was about 6 million units, and the total sales through all channels from the beginning of June to the present have reached about 7 million units!
According to the current data, this series will exceed 15 million units by the end of June!
In addition, the Xingchen series sells relatively well offline, with sales of more than 15 million units in the first half of the year from January to June!
Huaxing Technology's shipments in the first half of this year steadily exceeded 50 million units, completing the target set before the year!
So the total shipments of Huaxing Technology's products this year will not be less than last year!
Just then, Jiang Li suddenly knocked on the door and said, "President Lu, are we really going to use our own sensors for this generation of the Xingchen series?"
As the person in charge of the Xingchen series, Jiang Li's eyes are now filled with worry!
After all, after becoming independent, the Xingchen series will focus on the female consumer market!
The most important things for the female consumer market are photography, thinness, and a beautiful appearance!
Among them, photography is the most important point for mobile phones targeting female consumers!
Now it's already the end of June, and the fourth generation of the Xingchen series is being designed, prepared, and produced!
And at this most critical moment, Jiang Li didn't expect her chairman to reject her design and ask her to use her own sensors!
As the saying goes, whether a mobile phone takes good photos depends on the choice of lenses and sensors on the one hand, and the system's unique algorithms on the other.
Jiang Li couldn't understand why they had to use their own sensors. Didn't President Lu know the situation with their own sensors?
Huaxing Laboratory had already developed the latest sensor, IMX700 sensor technology, last year!
It's just that this sensor is a bit difficult to manufacture, so it will take some time for the factory to actually produce the IMX700 sensor!
Therefore, the sensor Lu Haifeng prepared for the Xingchen series this time is the substandard product of the IMX700 sensor!
Although this sensor is a substandard product, it is not inferior to Sony's IMX586 sensor!
The IMX700 sensor can be said to be a very powerful sensor.
In his previous life, the mobile phone equipped with this sensor was the famous Huawei Mate40 mobile phone, the swan song of the Kirin chip!
So, with the Xingchen series equipped with such a sensor and applying its own Tianyan algorithm, the imaging level of this mobile phone can be said to have reached its peak!
Lu Haifeng can even proudly say that the sensors produced by his company are two or three years ahead of its competitors!
"Jiang Li, the level of this sensor is very high, even higher than the Sony sensor you chose!"
Lu Haifeng raised his head and looked at Jiang Li, who was about to reason with him, and quickly said with a smile!
In Lu Haifeng's view, the sensors produced by his company are not only of good quality but also very cheap!
The most important thing is that he is the one who makes the money in the end, which is much better than giving the money to Japanese companies!
Better than Sony's sensors?
Jiang Li's eyes widened when she heard Lu Haifeng's words!
Her eyes were filled with disbelief as she looked at Lu Haifeng. Obviously, she was also frightened by what Lu Haifeng said!
As everyone knows, Sony's photography sensors dare to be called the second in the world, and no one dares to be called the first!
This shows how powerful Sony's sensors are!
But now Lu Haifeng actually said that the sensors manufactured by his own company surpass Sony's sensors!
Such words sound simply shocking and unbelievable.
"President Lu, do you mean..."
Jiang Li felt that what her chairman said seemed a bit too much. In this situation, she didn't know how to refute her chairman!
The power of Sony's sensors is well known, but her chairman believes that her own company can also manufacture first-class sensors!
"Wasn't Samsung's screen the most powerful screen in the world back then?"
"But in the end, wasn't it defeated by us!"
"Since we can surpass Samsung in screens, why can't we surpass Sony in sensors!"
Lu Haifeng looked at Jiang Li and said with a proud tone!
Lu Haifeng believes that Huaxing Technology's strength is already able to compete with Samsung!
Huaxing Technology can now manufacture its own chips!
It can also produce its own screens!
Now it can also be self-sufficient in sensors!
Battery and other technologies are also gradually being improved!
Isn't the reason why Samsung is so powerful because it can produce mobile phones without relying on other manufacturers!
It can be said that Samsung can produce all the components for manufacturing mobile phones and truly achieve production freedom!
Now Huaxing Technology is also gradually improving its own industrial chain, hoping to truly achieve self-production and self-sales!
