What is the biggest advantage of mobile phone manufacturers in making laptops? Yu Zhongguo: Thinking and Ecology

[Gearbest News]For many people who are engaged in text work or video editing, laptops are an indispensable device for their work. In recent years, as some domestic mobile phone manufacturers have begun to enter the laptop market, there has been increasing discussion about whether mobile phone manufacturers can gain a foothold in the laptop field. Not long ago, the Gearbestvideo column “Ka Wei Shuo” invited technology critic Yan Yuelong and “One Observation” founder Su Yi, together with Gearbestfounder and chief editor Yu Zhongguo, to launch a discussion on the topic of “mobile phone manufacturers entering the notebook field.” In the video, Yu Zhongguo said,Compared with traditional laptop manufacturers, the biggest advantage of mobile phone manufacturers lies in their different thinking.

Different from the hardware thinking of traditional notebook manufacturers, mobile phone manufacturers have very strong software and ecological thinking when entering the notebook market. Yu Zhongguo said that at the beginning of development, mobile phone manufacturers used to think about hardware like traditional laptop manufacturers. However, after the emergence of Android, mobile phone manufacturers also changed their thinking and slowly transitioned to software thinking. Now, mobile phone manufacturers are beginning to make efforts in the ecosystem, such as Huawei's “1+8+N” strategy and multi-screen collaborative office model. These are also an important reason why mobile phone manufacturers choose to enter the laptop market. With the deepening of the Internet and even the Internet of Things, in the near future, the Internet of Everything will become an essential function of many electronic devices.

In addition to the different ecological thinking, the thinking of company leaders has also become a point of difference between mobile phone companies and traditional laptop manufacturers. Yu Zhongguo believes that,At present, traditional laptop manufacturers mostly adopt the approach of entrepreneurial professional managers and pay more attention to product sales. Domestic mobile phone manufacturers are mostly run by entrepreneurs themselves, and their thinking focuses more on R&D and innovation.Since the current domestic mobile phone companies have not been established for a long time, most of their “leaders” are still entrepreneurs back then. They focus more on the company's R&D and innovation, so they have stronger adaptability and the ability to expand outward.

However, due to the long-term development of established notebook manufacturers such as Lenovo and HP, most of their founders have taken a back seat, and most of the current company leaders are professional managers. They focus more on product marketing and sales than on innovation and R&D, which are uncertain. For them, only by increasing the company's sales can they have a bright resume, so that they can obtain higher income in the next job. The difference in leaders’ thinking also determines the difference in corporate thinking. This is one reason why mobile phone manufacturers pay more attention to technological innovation, while traditional notebook manufacturers pay more attention to market share.

At the end of the video, Yu Zhongguo also summarized his views. In his opinion, mobile phone manufacturers making laptops can bring more and better ultimate experiences to consumers. This experience is most obvious in the interconnection of products. He said,future numbersIf a code product does not support interoperability and interconnection functions, it will not be a cool product, and it will be difficult for users to choose and like it. If traditional laptop manufacturers want to gain people's choice and support in the future, changes in thinking will be a top priority.
