Speaking of mobile phone manufacturers, the first thing I want to say is definitely Meizu. Yes, I am an old charming friend.
As the Whampoa Military Academy in the mobile phone industry, Meizu has delivered a large number of talents and excellent designs for the development of smart phones in China. However, the embarrassing situation now really makes the charming friends feel a little sad. I don't want to talk about the history and achievements of Meizu here. Maybe one day I will carefully sort out the path that Meizu has taken, but today I just want to talk about Meizu in my eyes.
From its establishment in 2003 to the release of Meizu 16 series mobile phones, Zhang Huang and Meizu have gone through 16 years. From 2007 to now, I personally think that life is not so good, but it is still successful on the whole. In the era when Meizu made MP3, Meizu in my heart was a very high-profile brand. Although I didn't have a chance to experience what the product was like, everyone was talking about Meizu MP3 at that time, and it seemed that the evaluation was not bad. This feeling is like watching more Mercedes-Benz BMW Audi, and suddenly someone drives a Volvo. You may not have opened it either, but in your mind, the concept of this brand is bigger than that of Volkswagen Honda Toyota, and it does not lose BBA. It's about the same level as Cadillac, but it doesn't seem so famous, but it has a good impression. (wordy, that's almost it, I don't know if it's clear, hahahaha) It's the first time I know that Meizu's mobile phone is original MX.
Meizu is the best development opportunity. Lei Jun liked Meizu mobile phone before Xiaomi did it, which is why Lei Jun wants to invest in Meizu. At first, Xiaomi set was intended to be used in Meizu. Unfortunately, Huang Zhang was unwilling to give Lin Bin a 5% stake, so the cooperation failed. Lei Bin hired someone to make millet. If he had invested in Meizu, today's Meizu would be much bigger than Xiaomi, with a market value of at least 80 billion US dollars. In this way, Huang Zhang is worth tens of billions of dollars, and there is still a lot of room for development in the future. Unfortunately, the thinking of family-owned companies is destined to be a minority. Ali invested several hundred million yuan before, and was defeated by Meizu's concert. Nowadays, mobile phone companies are particularly difficult to mix, especially small companies, and it is difficult to survive without a background. Nubia has ZTE, plus OPPO, 360 has 360 companies, and the hammer has existed in name only.
Meizu's current fate is to be acquired by Tencent Ali and other capital that want to make mobile phones, or wait for it to slowly close down.
