The mobile phone industry seems to be easy to do, but in fact it is extremely difficult.
Starting from Xiaomi, the next few years will be the craziest era for the smartphone industry.
Every year, emerging mobile phone brands enter the mobile phone industry across borders.
Hammer, LeTV, Little Pepper, Big Coke, 360...
But unfortunately, within a few years, these emerging brands have gone out of business.
OnePlus, the only one still alive, returned to OPPO because of the support of its parent company.
Even established giants such as Gionee and Coolpad failed to hold on and went bankrupt and exited.
Most of the remaining brands are still half-dead.
Even those who are alive and seem to have a high market share may be working for Qualcomm.
A flagship phone costing RMB 3,000 to 4,000, the manufacturer earns a few hundred yuan, and it is handed over to Qualcomm for RMB 1,500...
It can be said that the future smartphone market may appear to be brilliant, but in fact it will be a mess!
This kind of industry with high technical barriers is difficult to enter!
Even if you bite the bullet and go in, the final result is not optimistic. You will either be eliminated or work for Qualcomm.
The only ones that can really make money are Apple, Samsung, and Huawei, which have strong technologies and strong patents.
And Qualcomm, which doesn’t make mobile phones, but makes more money than anyone else!
Apple, Samsung, and Huawei all started out as research and development companies, and they all have their own hard power, so they can stand strong.
Apple relies on the IOS system ecosystem + self-developed chips to live a prosperous life.
Samsung develops and produces its own chips, so even if it uses Qualcomm chips, it does not need to pay Qualcomm tax.
Without him, if Qualcomm dares to charge Qualcomm tax, Samsung will immediately develop its own replacement!
Moreover, Samsung also has a large number of patents. The two parties have fought many patent wars, and Qualcomm may not have taken advantage.
As for Huawei, it develops its own chips, self-developed basebands, self-developed systems, and has abundant patents...
Similarly, when Wang Yi made mobile phones, there were two results.
Either start investing heavily in 2011, continue research and development, and follow the Huawei route.
Or just give up R&D, work hard on marketing, work for Qualcomm, and earn hard money...
But unfortunately, Wang Yi's character can never accept the second type.
You are so damn reborn and still work as a wage earner for Qualcomm. How is this possible?
Self-research of chips and self-research of patents is the route Wang Yi wants to take.
Even if it takes time to develop self-developed chips and purchase third-party chips in the short term, Wang Yi will support Nvidia to check and balance Qualcomm!
If Qualcomm cannot monopolize, the Qualcomm tax can only be suspended.
Only when Qualcomm truly monopolizes the market will the Qualcomm tax be fully levied.
But there is not much time left for Wang Yi.
2014 is the SOC era of fully integrated baseband.
By then, it's hard to say whether Nvidia can survive.
Whether Xingyi Semiconductor can survive depends on whether the baseband and patent issues can be solved.
Can solve it, live.
If you can't solve it, die!
For this reason, Wang Yi had to speed up.
On the one hand, let Chen Chuanqing acquire VIA's baseband business as soon as possible and obtain the basic CDMA patent.
This will give you the ticket to develop 3G baseband, and Qualcomm will not be able to block Wang Yi by then.
After all, Qualcomm uses its basic CDMA patent to block Wang Yi, and Wang Yi can also use the basic VIA CDMA patent he bought to block Qualcomm.
Then no one can make the baseband!
Even if Qualcomm has more basic patents, it will be in vain.
Just like the nuclear threat, 5000 and 500 are the same thing, just enough.
At that time, Qualcomm can only settle with Xingyi Technology and reach patent cross-licensing!
In this way, the 3G crisis will be solved.
The 4G international standard is about to be launched, and Wang Yi remembers that it seems to be finalized in January next year.
With the current layout of R&D, it is difficult to produce output in a short period of time.
But you can take advantage of the fact that before the formal standards are released, you can acquire some LTE patents at low prices, especially key LTE patents.
At present, LTE is not yet the 4G international standard, and the LTE patent transfer fee is still at a cabbage price!
Whether it is a company or an individual, if you have key LTE patents in your hands, as long as the price is right, we will take them!
After all, as long as international standards are not formally established, everything is a gamble!
They also cannot guarantee that the future 4G international standard will definitely be LTE, not some other types.
As long as Wang Yi's price is in place, even giants will not mind selling part of their LTE patents, which can be regarded as risk hedging.
As a result, if LTE is not the 4G international standard, it will be worthless in the future. They can cash out at a high price now and make a lot of money.
If LTE is the 4G international standard, they will also earn a patent transfer fee, at least the cost will be recovered.
Proper risk hedging!
Thinking of this, Wang Yi immediately made arrangements to fully acquire the key patents of LTE.
Of course, Wang Yi will continue to invest in and promote the research and development of LTE patents.
Even if the 4G standard is established, it does not mean that LTE technology research and development will stop.
This is a long process.
Even if 5G comes out later, major communication giants are constantly developing 4G technology and applying for new LTE patents.
After all, the popularization of 5G is a long time ago, and the elimination of 4G is even longer.
Let alone ten years, 5G will not be popularized globally in twenty years.
As a reborn person, Wang Yike knows how expensive it is to build 5G base stations and how slow their popularity is.
Even in Xia Guo, which is making the fastest progress, the 5G construction period from 2020 to 2024 and the 5G perfection period from 2024 to 2029 will be fully popularized after 2030.
As for the West, their progress is even slower. I am afraid that when 7G comes, their 5G will not be popular...
Why don't people in England read paper books when taking the subway instead of using their mobile phones? It's because the Internet speed is too slow or there is even no signal...
It can be said that in the next twenty years, the world will still be 4G!
From now on, Wang Yihui will continue to invest and develop 4G patented research and development.
Xingyi Technology will also keep poaching and recruiting communication experts and R&D elites.
The battle for LTE patents begins immediately.
In the next few months, in addition to the money from making mobile phones, Meiyou Technology’s other cash flow will be used to acquire key LTE patents and core patents!
There is no need to set aside an emergency fund.
Meiyou Mall generates revenue every day, which can be used as emergency funds.
Even if you are really short of money, you can still mortgage your assets.
Whether it is the Xingyi Technology Park in the Imperial Capital or the commercial land in the Meiyu Technology Building in Jeju, you can get a lot of money as a mortgage.
In addition, there is Wang Yi's personal property. At critical times, it can also be used as an account and loaned to the company for development.
If you take it back later, you can still charge an interest!
For example, more than 90 million yuan in subsidies for the demolition of county factory buildings have been received.
For example, the original Yihe villa he bought for 700 million can also be mortgaged for more than 100 million.
In addition, the box office share of "Thirty-day Love" can also be pledged and exchanged for money.
To put it bluntly, Wang Yi is not short of funds at all.
Even if all the cash flow is used up, it doesn't matter.
We are really short of money. Maybe we don’t even need a loan. We can just hold a dealer meeting and let Meiyou and Zhenyou’s provincial agents, provincial agents, overseas agents, and franchisees of specialty stores pay in advance to place orders.
With so many agents, it is not a problem to make hundreds of millions or more than one billion in payments at once.
What's more, when he was in the empire, Wang Yi tripled the leverage and borrowed securities to short HM.
Before HM's stock price fell, 3 billion yuan was cashed out.
Of course, these coupons need to be repaid, but when they are repaid, they may not necessarily need 3 billion.
Ever since he learned that HM was a copycat of Meiyou Chun Yufeng and was mass-produced, Wang Yi had the idea of ​​shorting HM.
So I went to the empire and arranged everything!
As for the margin trading account, Wang Yi started preparing it after his rebirth, and it was already ready.
Now just waiting for the pure lust style dress copied by HM to be launched, Wang Yi will fix the evidence and give him a good fuck!
For a moment, Wang Yi was looking forward to it!
However, the three billion cashed out by shorting HM is enough to acquire patents. After all, LTE is still at a cabbage price now.
But when LTE is confirmed as the 4G international standard, LTE's patent fees will skyrocket several times, or even more than ten times!
It’s better to take advantage of the current cabbage price and charge as much as possible if you can!
Thinking of this, Wang Yi once again told Jian Ziyan:
"Ziyan, please contact a headhunter and poach a few big names in the communications industry. Let the big names in communications evaluate which LTE patents are key patents and which ones are common patents, and set a reference price for acquisition. Then arrange for people to follow the reference price
, go negotiate the price, go buy it!”
"Okay, boss!"
Jian Ziyan didn’t ask why, but she knew that Wang Yi had repeatedly explained that it must be the most important thing!
Immediately cheered up.
As for Song Sining, she still had to prepare for the upcoming press conference, but Wang Yi did not let her get distracted.
Wang Yi changed the subject: "By the way, Professor Mo's appointment has been settled, right?"
Beihang University has approved Professor Mo’s appointment as the chief legal counsel of Xingyi Technology.
With its own teachers and its own students’ company, Beihang University has no reason to be stuck.
"It's done, not only my teacher, but also many senior brothers and sisters from my school have joined Xingyi Technology. They have put it to great use in this patent acquisition!" Jian Ziyan said with a smile.
"Very good!" Wang Yi nodded.
The acquisition of patents involves a lot of work and is of high value. Each team consists of two negotiators + two lawyers.
This ensures nothing goes wrong and eliminates the possibility of receiving kickbacks!
"By the way, boss, my teacher refused an annual salary of 2 million and chose an annual salary of 1.5 million."
"Okay, I understand. Is Professor Mo currently in school or in the company?"
When buying the villa, Mr. Longhu gave him a discount of 20 million.
Ten million is for Wang Yi’s face, and the other ten million is for Professor Mo’s favor!
Wang Yi has to pay back all these tens of millions of favors.
As a big figure in the legal profession, Professor Mo’s current annual salary of RMB 1.8 million is the market price.
The extra 500,000-700,000 yuan every year is just to repay this favor.
"The teacher is in the administration building, where is the legal department!"
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look."
With that said, Wang Yi went straight to the administration building.
During this time, Wang Yi was on a business trip to the empire, and Jian Ziyan took care of the Xingyi Technology Park in an orderly manner.
Many idle office buildings were put into use one by one by her and named according to their administrative functions.
Seeing Wang Yi's arrival, Professor Mo stood up quickly: "Boss, you're here."
"Professor Mo is so polite." Wang Yi smiled slightly: "Are you still used to this office?"
"It's very good. It's close to school and home, and the environment is good. The key is that it's run by students. It feels like home."
"Hahaha." Wang Yi was in a good mood: "From now on, we will treat this as our home!"
"no problem."
Legal affairs are actually very important.
With Professor Mo in charge and Jian Ziyan's relationship, Xingyi Technology's legal affairs have been improved directly, and Wang Yi doesn't have to worry at all.
Whether it is cross-border mergers and acquisitions or patent acquisitions, Professor Mo has elite lawyers under his wing who can handle it with ease.
Even though he went abroad some time ago, the lawyers Wang Yi brought with him who were proficient in English and international business were all Professor Mo's disciples!
In fact, in colleges and universities, the most important thing is the relationship between teachers and students, or to put it more unpleasantly, it is called the academic relationship!
A powerful mentor is a terrifying force.
After all, the mentor is powerful, and the mentor’s mentor is even more powerful.
Similarly, the mentor's senior brothers and sisters are also busy.
No matter what field Wang Yi needs, Professor Mo can quickly arrange it with just one phone call.
Even in foreign countries, foreign-related business is easy.
Professor Mo’s mentor is the former dean of Harvard Law School.
It is precisely because of the strength of the faculty that Professor Mo has achieved what he has achieved today.
Similarly, if the instructor had not been able to help, Professor Mo would not have reached where he is today even if he tried his best.
It's so realistic.
Afterwards, Wang Yi went to other departments and looked around.
Everything is progressing in an orderly manner.
But over there at HM, it’s a different scene.
Four o'clock in the afternoon is exactly nine o'clock in the morning in Switzerland.
HM's senior executives held another emergency meeting.
Chairman Gafford was furious: "What can't these damn international media report? They have to report on the emerging mobile phone giant!"
"It's good now. Because of their reports, Meiyou Pure Desire is becoming more and more famous internationally, and its international revenue is getting higher and higher! If this development continues, I'm afraid it will seriously impact our HM's global revenue!"
Hearing this, all the senior executives also looked solemn and spoke one after another:
"In the past, it was just the impact of the Xiaguo market, which cost us more than a billion dollars less. Now the global impact, the impact is too great. Maybe HM will lose tens of billions, and we can't sit still and wait for death."
"Yes! And those unscrupulous media also bluntly said that the impact of Meiyu's pure lust caused our Xiaguo market to lose 50%, causing the market value of our HM to evaporate by more than 10 billion!"
The total market value of HM is more than 300 billion. If it fluctuates by three points, it will be over 10 billion.
All shareholders were dumbfounded.
"Alas! If this continues, our HM will really be in big trouble and we must fight back!"
"Yes, fight back, and you must fight back immediately!"
Seeing several senior executives speaking, Chairman Gafford snorted coldly: "Okay, tell me, how to fight back?"
"This..." Everyone was silent.
The rhetoric is fine, but the method is not.
Vice President Anthony said quietly: "If you don't fight back now, let's put it aside. The key is that the pure lust style skirts we followed Feng Meiyou have been pushed into the dealers' warehouses. Do we want to launch them in Xingzhou and Australia?"
"Yes, that's a problem. We originally planned to launch it today, and all the goods have been sold out. But I didn't expect that Meiyou suddenly became popular and now it's on the market. I'm afraid it will have a bad impact on public opinion for us."
"It doesn't matter if it doesn't go on the market. We have already mass-produced it, and the dealers have paid for the orders. We can't destroy all the new Chun Yufeng products and have all the money refunded, right?"
"I can't withdraw. Now HM's sales have dropped sharply, and they are still relying on pure lust skirts to reverse the decline in tropical countries!"
"I suggest that pure lust-style skirts be listed directly. If the volume continues to drop this month, our stock price will continue to plummet!"
"That's right! Chunyufeng's listing will only bring temporary notoriety at most, but the revenue can be stabilized and the stock price can be stabilized. If it is not listed, the revenue will plummet, the stock price will plummet, and everything will be over!"
