Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Qu Lifei went to the Silicon Valley of the United States, met with the president of Motorola Mobility, and talked about his friendship. Many technical backbones of Glory Ventures came from Motorola.

Here I have to talk about the background of the times. At this time, the U.S. debt crisis broke out. I won’t talk about the specific details. The general meaning is that some people want to borrow more money and ask their grandsons to pay back the money. The three major rating agencies have downgraded the ratings of the U.S. Credit ratings, financial markets are in chaos, and some people are planning to "camp" on Wall Street. There is restlessness everywhere.

Glory is selling well in the United States, and Jumei Shopee's success in the United States is against this background, and it is a beneficiary of internationalization, so Qu Li is a firm supporter of globalization.

At this time, cooperation between major countries is the main focus, and it is feasible for Honor to acquire Motorola Mobility. Anyway, in addition to the mobile phone business, other businesses such as set-top boxes, etc., Honor does not need it, and throw it all to Google or sell it. over a billion dollars.

While touting Motorola's glorious history, they also talked about the glorious corporate culture. They are an international company, and they are closer to Silicon Valley technology companies in all aspects, rather than typical Chinese women's companies. Although he doesn't know what kind of Chinese companies are in the eyes of Wai Guoren, anyway, first trick "Motorola" over.

The acquisition of Motorola is not only a matter between the two companies, but also involves the government, so Qu Li went to the United States to meet various people with the North American president.

Except for a few core decision-makers such as Qu Li and Lei Jun, including the president of North America, they all think that Honor really wants to acquire Motorola. After all, the reason is easy to understand. After all, Honor’s patent accumulation is not enough. It is certain to pay the patent fee.

Patent disputes are not only troublesome and affect daily operations, but also affect corporate profit margins. For example, the patent fees paid by Honor worldwide must exceed that of Apple...

Qu Li and the others were busy with their own affairs. The relevant departments of the United States approved Google's US$900 million acquisition of Nortel Networks' patents. The matter was finally going to heat up.

how to say? Apple wants to solve its own patent problems. Acquiring the patents of Nortel Networks may be the lowest-cost option. Others are to buy from IBM, Intel, IDCC, etc. Enterprises are also an option, and the last is giants like Motorola and Nokia, and the cost is increasing.

Honor directly chooses the method with the highest cost because it has the highest success rate and can save time. If Apple and Microsoft want to compete with Honor for Motorola, then the price is hard to say. The original purchase price does not need to be 10 billion US dollars. times.

Honor contacted Motorola, and they contacted Apple and Microsoft. Anyway, selling themselves, selling to domestic companies should be the first choice, which is understandable.

Apple finally released the iPhone 4S. The A5 chip surpassed Qinglong No. 1, the system was upgraded, and the comprehensive experience surpassed Honor KOS. As for Siri, it is still better than klun. The only pity is that Qiaobusi did not attend the press conference.

Faced with the competition from Glory, Apple would not dare to say that it would never advertise. Qu Li, who works in the United States, has seen overwhelming news, from print media, TV to the Internet, all kinds of advertisements, reviews, and soft articles.

"Although Honor's innovation ability is strong, Apple's R\u0026D ability is even better. Apple can do what Honor can do, and do it better..." There are too many similar remarks, and the IPhone 4S surpasses Honor without any suspense. The latest G4 plus, and more importantly, the Honor G5 in the second half of the year has almost no way to overtake.

Although such a result has been foreseen for a long time, whether it is in terms of technology accumulation or talent team composition, Apple is superior to Honor, but when it comes to this day, it is still very uncomfortable. The Kunlun system and Xingxiu chip, Honor only has the ability to take pictures and can stand alone. The world is over.

Fortunately, with the acquisition of Dongying Pentax, with the help of their "artisan spirit", the camera capability of the Honor G4 plus has steadily surpassed that of the IPhone 4S. With the help of Honor's financial advantages and promotion capabilities, Pentax has once again become a mainstream player in the camera market.

The income from Pentax cameras is not worth mentioning, even compared to Qiancheng Motors. When it is divided into other categories, it is similar to drones and self-balancing vehicles.

"Don't worry, we still have a long way to go. The market positioning is different from Apple's." The CEO of Honor North America said after seeing Qu Li's worry.

At most, Apple is better than Honor in one mobile phone, but Honor has the world's first drone balance car, and now there is a "sub-brand" with a promising future. Well, anyway, that's how the outside world sees it.

Future Geometry appeared in Silicon Valley, so it will naturally be compared with the Tesla Model S, and the conclusions drawn are comparable. Well, of course there is some bragging in it, but with the emergence of Future Geometry, no one doubts Honor's innovative ability.

Apple's launch of the iPhone 4S is not without negative impacts. It has patent disputes with Samsung and Nokia, and has not yet reached a settlement. The phone will soon be banned from sale.

In 2011, smartphone patent disputes were chaotic. Honor and Apple settled and reached some patent cooperation, but it does not mean that Honor has no troubles. Patent trolls, Ericsson and other telecom equipment giants, as well as Microsoft, Intel...

As established companies, Samsung and Nokia are also hard to escape. Microsoft is preparing to wield its sickle to kill customers. The current patent war for smartphones is really messed up. It is a kind of luck that Honor can be listed on the market at this time.

In order to make himself more lucky, Qu Li met with the CEO of Google and talked about their acquisition of Motorola and the need for Google's help when necessary. In addition, he also talked about the upcoming "mate X and P" mobile phones.

The conflict between Honor and Google is on the table. Controversy about app stores and GMS is getting bigger and bigger, but Honor is still the "Android King", the leader of Google's Android camp. Even in the face of challenges from Samsung and HTC, the leader is the leader. .

The meeting between Qu Li and Schmidt was not pleasant, after all, the divergence of interests has become bigger, such as

The self-developed chip tablet computer to be released this time is no longer called Gpad2, because HTC and Samsung in the Android camp objected, saying that the G4 Gpad and these G-starting naming methods represent Google Android, and Honor wants to cancel the G-series phones and tablets.

Is there any reason for such a request? There must be, but Honor has never advertised that the G series mobile phones are Google mobile phones, and the title of Android King is not proposed by Honor. It is just a letter, which can have many explanations. If there is a lawsuit, this matter is unclear.

At this time, Google began to push back, so the second tablet of Honor was changed to Honor Pad2. The flagship machine in the second half of the year may be renamed Honor 5. The Honor digital series is a self-developed chip and system, and the Honor mate series is a Qualcomm chip. It's Android native...
