Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Although there were a lot of flowers around him, and although he really wanted to try something new, he really didn't have the courage to bear the consequences, so he escaped and devoted his energy to Chen Danni.

Zhang Yaqin formally submitted his resignation letter, but was indeed persuaded by Microsoft to keep him, and asked him the next stop, Glory Company was not included in Microsoft's non-competition agreement, at least Zhang Yaqin was not there when he signed the contract, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Instead, Microsoft contacted Honor, hoping to use their mobile operating system. This is absolutely impossible. Android can share advertising and app store revenue without money, but Windows Phone charges a licensing fee of $25. You said that mobile phone manufacturers will How to choose? You must know that Microsoft also cannot provide communication patent protection for mobile phone companies.

Although they won't cooperate, they didn't directly refuse. Using Microsoft to win benefits from Google Android is already a common practice of enterprises.

Honor's new product launch event was held on October 10th, and a series of mobile phones will be released every quarter in the future, that is, October, April and July. January is the cheapest Finder series, followed by magic and mate series, and October is the cheapest. Expensive G series.

This time, due to Google's needs, the planned Mate series mobile phones are handed over to Google. By October, G3 and Magicbook will be released at the same time. Google will find time to release Nexus One.

The Honor G3 has a front-facing 2-megapixel camera, a rear-facing 5-megapixel camera, and a gorilla screen. It relies on Amazon AWS to provide OTA online upgrade and cloud synchronization services. The exterior design has not changed much, and it is still the classic 3.5-inch screen.

It is expected that the magic series of mobile phones will be released in April next year, which will use a screen of more than 4 inches, and will use a retina screen in November next year. At this time, the iPhone 4 will probably appear, and Apple and Honor will go to war. By July 2011, the Mate series will be adopted, and the Finder series will be launched in January 2012.

Qu Li stayed in Beijin to improve the company's strategic layout step by step, and everything developed steadily. The domestic smartphone market is developing rapidly, with sales of more than 10 million units in two quarters. Yang Xingping, the founder of Dopod, joined TCL. Someone wanted to poach Honor. Tianyu, Coolpad, Huawei, and ZTE entered the market one after another, wanting to occupy a share of this booming market Soup, even the operator mobile company also wants to cooperate with a certain company to produce a customized machine with "own operating system"...

Although the market is very good, it is not very optimistic for Honor. Mobile phones with a price of more than 2,500 account for less than 20% of the entire smartphone market. This is due to the rise of Honor. Historically, this proportion was only about 10%.

On the other hand, Honor has sold 1.5 million units in half a year in China, accounting for nearly 70% of the mobile phones priced above 2500, basically dominating the high-end smartphone market.

As a result, many rumors spread on the Internet, saying that Honor sells a mobile phone for more than 4,000 yuan and earns more than 1,000 yuan. It is not a domestic conscience mobile phone. It’s not easy to ignore this kind of voice, so please invite more trolls to drag Nokia, Samsung and other brands into the water. Why can crooked fruit cakes work, but domestic mobile phones can’t? Why is it possible abroad but not domestically?

Honor G2 is priced cheaper in China than abroad. An obvious example is that the Hong Kong version of the iPhone 3GS, which is also the pinnacle of appearance, costs about HK$5,000, while parallel imports also sell for HK$5,000 in China.

Because of the appearance of Honor G2, there have not been many kneeling remarks, and no one has blown up the IPhone. Honor has increased its efforts in soft and hard advertising, and must make the G2 a smart phone into a magical machine. So "Good Voice" not only has Juhuasuan, but also the Honor G2 mobile phone. When Qu Li participated in the show, he gave a few mobile phones and played a very hard advertisement: At present, there is no better mobile phone than the Honor G2 in the world. .

Honor G2 is the best smart phone in the world, Qiaobosi definitely disagrees, but to say that iPhone 3GS surpasses Honor G2 in an all-round way, there will obviously be more voices of opposition. So, in the short term, Honor mobile phones have no competitors in China.

Spreadtrum Communications is different. It acquired Freescale's baseband business and is integrating it. With the support of Shanghai Metro, it has greatly alleviated the funding problem. However, the business has not been developed at the same time, and this year's huge loss seems to be imminent.

Qu Li didn't have time to go to Shanghai for the time being. He stayed at Spansion Semiconductor in Beijin. This company is registering its headquarters in Singapore as planned. Don't think it's impossible. Many companies in the United States have done this, such as Avago, which was the company that later acquired Broadcom. It was spun off from HP and then moved its headquarters to Singapore.

Move out when you have difficulties, encounter bottlenecks in development, need the help of the rice country, or buy a large technology company in the country, and then move back. This kind of routine is only unexpected to you, and it is a game that cannot be played without financial and technological capital. Broadcom later moved its registration back to the United States and became an American company...

After Envision Investment took control of Spansion Semiconductor, it has been following the rules of the game. It is not in a hurry to transfer technology to China, but is really reducing costs and increasing efficiency, so the pressure it bears is not as great as imagined. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the flash memory chip is not so important. It is related to the order provided by Honor. The country already has the technical reserves for the production of nor and nand flash memory.

Zhu Yiming of the Tsinghua Department relied on the domestic director of Flywire Semiconductor. Fortunately, Flywire has no shortage of Chinese executives. Under the control of Envision Investment, the Chinese will get more opportunities.

The problem is not here, but the nand flash memory chip. Spansion has technology and is one of the founders of the industry standard, but the advantage in this aspect is not great. Qu Li's idea is to keep the production capacity in China. The first step is to control Wuhan Xinxin. For this reason, Envision Investment has hired their CEO Yang Shining from Singapore Chartered Semiconductor.

Why can they poach their CEOs from world-renowned chip foundries? This involves another story: the local tycoon in the Middle East acquired AMD's chip manufacturing business and established the chip foundry GlobalFoundries. Local tyrants have money. It is not surprising that they are targeting Chartered Semiconductor. The two parties have basically reached an acquisition agreement, so Yang Shining is in an awkward position.

Envision Investment has recruited people, and Wuhan is naturally in favor of Yang Shining's joining, and is willing to be satisfied with money and policies. However, Wuhan's new core has been entrusted to SMIC, which is in trouble with TSMC's patent litigation.

Although I don't want to get involved with SMIC, I still have to get in touch with this company after going around a circle. In particular, Vision Investment Holdings Spreadtrum Communications may become a major customer of SMIC in the future, so they don't want to be as simple as that Let go of Wuhan Xinxin.

Qu Li had to fly to Shanghai to meet Jiang Zhou, who became the chairman of SMIC. This is another person who has dedicated himself to the development of the domestic semiconductor industry. With him around, Datang did not dare to make mistakes. Unfortunately, Jiang died of illness in 2011, and civil strife broke out in SMIC soon.

Jiang was shocked when he saw Qu Li last week. He didn't expect that such a young man would be able to make decisions from Vision Investment.

"Hi, I'm Qu Li, the founder of Jumei and Glory..."

"Oh, so it's you!"
