Building a Business Empire with my Technological System

Chapter 328: Smartphone Business

Michael Reyes stood at the front of the conference room, a sleek black box in his hand. Bridget, Juliet, and Antoinette sat around the table, their curiosity piqued. Michael's excitement was palpable, and it was contagious. They knew something big was coming.

"Ladies, what I'm about to show you is not just a phone. It's the future," Michael began, placing the box on the table. With a dramatic flourish, he opened the lid to reveal the QuantumPhone Q1. The device gleamed under the conference room lights, its design minimalist yet captivating.

"This is the QuantumPhone Q1," Michael announced, lifting the phone and activating its holographic display. A vibrant 3D interface sprang to life in mid-air, eliciting gasps from his team.

"Oh my God, is that a hologram?" Juliet exclaimed, leaning in to get a closer look.

"It is," Michael confirmed with a grin. "This phone is equipped with a holographic display that projects images and interfaces in 3D. But that's just the beginning."

He handed the phone to Bridget, who tentatively took it, marveling at its lightweight yet sturdy feel. "It's so light, yet it feels solid. What's it made of?" Bridget asked, inspecting the phone closely.

Michael's smile widened as he prepared to dive into the technical details. "The QuantumPhone Q1 is made from a combination of recycled materials, but not just any recycled materials. We've utilized advanced composites derived from aerospace-grade aluminum and carbon fiber.

The aluminum is sourced from recycled aircraft components, while the carbon fiber comes from repurposed high-performance automotive parts."

Bridget raised an eyebrow, impressed. "That explains the strength and the light weight. But what about the screen?"

"The screen is another marvel," Michael continued. "It's made from recycled sapphire glass. This material was initially used in military applications for its incredible durability and scratch resistance. By repurposing sapphire glass, we've created a display that is nearly indestructible while maintaining clarity and touch sensitivity."

Juliet leaned in closer, fascinated by the explanation. "And what about the internal components?"

"Great question," Michael said, nodding. "The internal components are equally impressive. The circuit boards are made from recycled rare-earth elements, primarily sourced from old electronics and mining by-products. These elements are essential for high-performance quantum processors.

The battery is a state-of-the-art graphene-based unit, also made from recycled materials, ensuring both longevity and rapid charging capabilities."

"So you are saying that you built this smartphone out of recyclable materials and it is so advanced that any smartphone out there?"

"Well, the reason it's so advanced is because of its quantum processors," Michael explained. "These processors are what give the QuantumPhone Q1 its unparalleled performance. They operate at speeds far beyond traditional processors, allowing for instant data processing and complex task management without any lag."

Bridget, Juliet, and Antoinette exchanged looks of amazement and excitement.

"Imagine a phone that can handle any task you throw at it, seamlessly integrating into your daily life with an AI that learns and adapts to your needs in real time," Michael continued. "That's what we have here with the QuantumPhone Q1."

Juliet nodded, clearly impressed. "This sounds incredible, Michael. What's the next step?"

"First, we are going to start a new smartphone company, and we are going to acquire one of the Philippines' smartphone makers—Cherry Mobile," Michael declared.

Bridget, Juliet, and Antoinette looked intrigued.

"Why Cherry Mobile?" Bridget asked.

Michael took a deep breath before launching into the history of Cherry Mobile. "Cherry Mobile was founded in 2008 by Maynard Ngu. It quickly gained popularity in the Philippines by offering affordable smartphones with decent specifications. They capitalized on the growing demand for smartphones among budget-conscious consumers."

Antoinette nodded. "I remember their phones being very popular at one point. They were everywhere."

"Exactly," Michael continued. "Cherry Mobile focused on providing value for money. They sourced their components from China, which allowed them to keep costs low. They also partnered with local celebrities and influencers to boost their brand image."

Juliet chimed in, "So why aren't they the top phone brand in the Philippines anymore?"

Michael sighed. "There are a few reasons for that. First, the competition. International brands like Samsung, Apple, and Huawei entered the market with more advanced technology and stronger brand recognition. Cherry Mobile couldn't keep up with the rapid pace of technological advancements."

He continued, "Second, quality control. While Cherry Mobile offered affordable smartphones, there were often complaints about the durability and performance of their devices. This hurt their reputation over time."

"And third," Michael added, "the lack of innovation. Cherry Mobile focused heavily on price rather than investing in R&D to develop cutting-edge technology. This left them behind when consumers started demanding more from their smartphones."

Bridget, Juliet, and Antoinette listened intently, absorbing the information.

"So, what's the plan?" Juliet asked.

"We're going to leverage Cherry Mobile's existing infrastructure and brand recognition," Michael explained. "At this point, Cherry Mobile isn't just profiting anymore and no one wants to buy their devices due to the reasons I've mentioned. But with the QuantumPhone Q1 technology, we can turn things around."

He continued, "We'll infuse Cherry Mobile with our advanced technology, ensuring high quality and innovative features. This will not only restore consumer confidence but also position us as a leader in the market."

Antoinette nodded thoughtfully. "So, essentially, we're using Cherry Mobile as a launchpad for our QuantumPhone technology. It's a smart move. We'll have an established brand and distribution network to work with."

"Exactly," Michael affirmed. "We'll start by acquiring Cherry Mobile and then gradually integrate our technology into their products. We'll also rebrand their flagship models to reflect our new, advanced capabilities."

"So should we start contacting Cherry Mobile?"

"We'll start contacting Cherry Mobile and offer them a deal they can't refuse," Michael said confidently. "Juliet, I need you to prepare a compelling proposal for the acquisition. Find out first how much their current valuation is and identify key stakeholders we need to approach," Michael instructed.

Juliet nodded, jotting down notes. "I'll get on it right away."

"Okay, ladies, that would be all. I want you all to report back to me when you have your respective tasks completed," Michael concluded, wrapping up the meeting.
