On June 15th, Motorola, Ericsson, Philips, Siemens, Intel, IBM, AT&T, HP and others gathered at Qualcomm to join and promote the wap standard! The benefits of the wap standard are obvious, making mobile phones available for Internet access, which can attract users to pay for it! ! !

The wap standard is profitable and harmless. It is the most beneficial to the merchants and naturally supports it!

There are more than one hundred companies or organizations that came to Qualcomm this time.

Qualcomm’s CEO Owen Jacobs held and presided over a WAP network communication protocol standard conference. At the meeting, Owen Jacobs as the host gave a speech on the benefits of WAP: "Qualcomm’s cdma wireless communication technology Realization makes it possible for the mobile phone to surf the Internet! However, if the mobile phone wants to communicate with the intent, a unified network communication protocol needs to be established between this, otherwise, data transmission and reception errors will occur!!! Therefore, Qualcomm considers At this point, the wap standard has been specially formulated. The wap standard is used all over the world, so there is no need to worry about data errors due to different protocols!"

"Wap standardization can save a lot of resources. Companies don't need to spend time and energy to re-develop a standard, and they can launch products as soon as possible to seize the market! It is conceivable that when a mobile phone with Internet access comes out, How big a sensation will it cause, wouldn't the users be so close to this kind of mobile phone?!!!"

After Irving Jacobs finished speaking, representatives of many companies or organizations below nodded slightly to express their approval. When Owen Jacobs saw this, he couldn't help but smile, and then he said: "At present, mobile phone wireless communication is the fastest transmission speed of the network, reaching 25kbps, far exceeding the 15kbps transmission speed of the European gsm network. !!! This time, I recommend that you buy 100 Snapdragon chips developed by Qualcomm to make your mobile phone go online faster!!!"

Irving Jacobs said it to the end. By the way, I did a promotion for the Snapdragon 100 chip. Next, Qualcomm issued a WAP standard approval statement to each representative present to vote whether to support the WAP standard. After Qualcomm's statistics. You can inform the world and announce that a certain company supports the wap standard, thus forming a greater influence!

After half an hour, the data was counted, and Owen Jacobs found out. More than 70% of the companies or institutions that expressed support! Seeing this data, Owen Jacobs laughed, the general trend has been achieved, enough to announce that wap has become a standard!

Subsequently, Owen Jacobs first announced the results loudly on the spot: "The statistical result is that more than 70% of companies or institutions voted for the Qualcomm Network Communication Protocol, which means to form a unified global standard!!!"

Bang bang bang! ! !

There was a sudden burst of applause.

After the meeting, Owen Jacobs walked out of the backstage and saw Intel’s CEO Craig Barrett talking with the CEO of Motorola, the largest mobile phone manufacturer. The faces of both of them were full of smiles, and they obviously talked happily...

Irving Jacobs didn't even need to get closer to guess what they were talking about. Mobile phones are becoming more and more popular, Intel also sees this piece of fat, and naturally wants to swallow it! It is now the largest in the field of computer cpu chips, ambitious, and it has not let go of mobile phone chips! ! !

Owen Jacobs frowned. Intel's strength is undoubted. If it wants to enter the field of mobile phone chips to get a share of the pie. It's really hard to deal with! ! !

Thinking of this, Owen Jacobs felt anxious, and when he returned to the office, he called Henry.

"Chairman, I have something to report to you!!!" Owen Jacobs said in a low voice.

Henry heard something strange. Asked: "How to pull, is there something bad?"

"Yes, I found that Intel and Motorola are in contact! Motorola mobile phones account for the largest share of the global mobile phone market, and they are well-deserved overlords! If they cooperate with Intel instead of us, Qualcomm will lose a lot!!! "

"Yeah." Henry nodded when he heard the words, and then he pondered. In his memory, he thought that Intel had entered the field of mobile phone chips in the past life, but stood on the wrong team, and the result was a tragedy! Intel developed a chip called xsale to enter the mobile phone market, and stood in the Motorola x lineup.

However, the sudden emergence of Nokia caused Motorola to retreat steadily, so Intel's plan to enter the mobile phone market failed! !

Thinking of this, Henry asked: "Has Intel been in contact with Nokia?"

Owen Jacobs thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem to be there!"

"That's good," Henry laughed, "Intel is on Motorola's side, then we are on Nokia's side!!! You can talk to Nokia and express our intention to cooperate!"

"Nokia? Finland's Nokia company?" Owen Jacobs thought for a while and frowned. "Chairman, this company is involved in too many industries and is about to go bankrupt. Therefore, I don't think they will be a good one. one's business Patner!!!"

Henry patted his forehead and yelled inwardly. How could he forget it? Nokia is a large cross-industry company in Finland. Its industries involve papermaking, chemicals, rubber, cables, pharmaceuticals, natural gas, petroleum, military and other fields. As a result , Too much industry will drag Nokia down! Now Nokia is really in the midst of turmoil. Later, the newly appointed Nokia president and senior executives decisively abandon all other industries, split and sell all traditional industries, leaving only the Nokia electronics department. And this decision is Nokia's most important strategic decision in its history. After that, it has ranked first in mobile phone sales for 15 consecutive years, almost unmatched! ! !

Of course, until the emergence of the "Terminator" of the Apple mobile phone...

Henry didn't speak, and thought for a while, before he said to Owen Jacobs: "Owen Jacobs, I decided to buy Nokia!!!"

"What?" Owen Jacobs was stunned, thinking he had heard it wrong, "Chairman, you mean, you want to buy Nokia?"

Henry affirmed loudly: "Yes, yes, I have decided to buy Nokia! This matter. You don't need to worry about it, I will let Silicon Valley Electronics Group buy it! At that time, Qualcomm will cooperate with Silicon Valley Electronics Group. !"

"Ok!"

"Well, that's it!"

After speaking. Henry hung up the phone, thinking about the possibility of acquiring Nokia, and he felt a little excited... Now is the most difficult time for Nokia. Acquisition of it will mean. In the era of mobile feature phones, no one can beat it! ! !

Henry was in a good mood and couldn't help humming: "It's awesome. After receiving Nokia and Apple..."

Henry was at the headquarters of the Silicon Valley Electronics Group and immediately dialed the phone and brought in CEO Harrison.

After a while, Harrison hurried to Henry's office.

"Chairman, are you looking for something to do with me?" Harrison asked.

"Yes," Henry nodded. "That's it. You immediately contact Nokia and send it an acquisition request. Well, only the Nokia electronics division!!!"

"Well, good!" Harrison replied, with no surprises on his face. He is used to his boss asking him to buy the company. "If the chairman has nothing else to order, then I will arrange the acquisition now!"

Henry gave an "um" and waved his hand to let him go.

...

The next morning. Qualcomm held a press conference to announce that the launch of Qualcomm has been recognized by most mobile phone manufacturers and telecommunications companies in the world and has formed a standard! ! !

After the news was released, Qualcomm's position immediately improved. There is an endless stream of mobile phone manufacturing companies placing orders from all over the United States! These mobile phone manufacturing companies do not have the ability to independently develop chips like Motorola. Therefore, they can only manufacture mobile phones by purchasing chips from other companies!

In fact, Qualcomm’s main customers are such a group of small companies, like Ericsson. Large-scale mobile phone manufacturers such as Motorola cooperate in the form of patent authorization to develop their own chips, and each cdma chip produced will give Qualcomm a patent fee of 40 US dollars! ! !

Through patent fees, Qualcomm can also make a lot of money, but not as much as selling chips on its own! If Qualcomm wants to promote, it must cooperate with mobile phone giants such as Ericsson and Motorola. Otherwise, how to promote it and how to form a standard...

When Qualcomm's business was booming, Owen Jacobs called Henry again: "Chairman, I have something to suggest to you!"

"Come on, what's the matter?"

"Chairman, ARM has only a chip design department but no production plant. I think we should build our own fab! In the future, we will launch a new generation of chips. If we can produce it ourselves, we can save bad expenses! The production capacity can be controlled more effectively without being affected by other manufacturers!!!"

Henry heard this and found it reasonable.

ARM does not have a production plant. That is because it is poor and cannot open a production plant. In the end, it can only do chip design, and then authorize it to earn a patent fee. However, it is obvious that patent fees and products, of course, are more profitable products!

In the future, Qualcomm will produce hundreds of millions of chips every year, and it is better to produce them by yourself if you look for foundries. That is a very huge expense! However, you can learn from Samsung, and the excess capacity can be used for foundry! ! ! However, Henry suddenly thought of TSMC!

TSMC is the world's first foundry company. Founded in 1987, it will become the world's largest foundry company with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars.

If TSMC can be acquired, there will be no problem in chip production!

But, TSMC founder Zhang Zhongmou is willing to sell the company?

Henry couldn't help but shook his head. Zhang Zhongmou was so courageous. Under the circumstances that almost no one was optimistic about, he resolutely established TSMC and pioneered the foundry model. Obviously, he has extraordinary vision and determination, and he wants to acquire him. Company, 80% will fail! Moreover, after four years of development, TSMC has passed the most difficult moment. Now the company is developing rapidly and its profitability is getting better and better. Zhang Zhongmou wouldn't mind if he became a minority shareholder, but if he wants to hold a controlling stake, it is absolutely impossible...

Come on, just set up a fab by yourself, and there won't be so many things!

So Henry said to Owen Jacobs: "Well, yes, let's build a fab! It's just that Qualcomm has money?" Now it’s not as good as before, to build a fab with a certain scale. , Let alone need hundreds of millions of dollars! It is difficult for Qualcomm to come up with this money for the time being, because the funds they spend on research and development account for more than 60% of revenue...

Owen Jacobs had already thought about it, and said directly: "Qualcomm can be listed for financing. With the current situation of the company, once it is listed, it will definitely be sought after by investors, and the stock price will definitely rise!!!"

"Listing for financing?" Henry was surprised when he heard this. He used to make money from Japan and the Soviet Union before, and he already had Williams Bank to borrow money at any time, so for a long time. Inside, Henry basically didn't lack any money, so he didn't plan to list the company!

However, now that he heard Irving Jacobs propose to list Qualcomm, Henry suddenly reacted, and it is time to gradually list the company under his name! ! !

After the company is listed, it can raise funds, the shares will be more valuable, and employees will be more motivated when they work! In addition, after the company went public, the company’s reputation has been improved, and the company’s transparency has increased ~lightnovelpub.net~ to increase public confidence in the company! ! !

In any case, the listing is still very good. Moreover, the Internet bubble will definitely come earlier, Henry doesn't know the specific time, so he may first go public and cash out some of the funds when the stock price is more appropriate. When the Internet bubble ends, he will buy back the shares!

Henry pondered for a while, then replied: "Okay, let the company go public for financing!!!"

"Okay!!!" Owen Jacobs got Henry's answer and hung up the phone happily!

Henry leaned his head back on the chair, thinking in his mind, which company should be listed besides Qualcomm? !

The first should be Internet companies, among which companies that have not yet been listed include Global Online Company, Isearch Company, ICQ Company, 360 Holding Group...

It seems that Nasdaq has not had a sensation for a long time. In that case, let the four companies go public together... (The update is a bit late, sorry... Please subscribe!!!)
