Chapter 485 Eyeing the Android Company

"Mr. Gao, I think your idea is very good, the mobile phone in the 3G era should be a mobile mini computer. However, this involves the choice of mobile phone chips, storage chips, and operating systems, do you have any ideas?"

In Populus Hu's memory, the first commercial smartphone should be the first generation of "love crazy" launched by the fruit company. The machine had its own unique operating system and was not compatible with Android, which became so popular.

"Mr. Hu, we already have a plan in terms of hardware, but we don't have a better choice in terms of operating system. ”

After the dinner, Gao Mingkang came to Hu Yang's office, and the two sat in the tea room while drinking tea and chatting.

Gao Mingkang has actually done a lot of work in advance for the arrival of the 3G era. For example, two years earlier, he reached a cooperation agreement with ARM, and on the basis of obtaining the ARM architecture authorization, he actively carried out the independent research and development of mobile phone chips.

However, he can't do anything with the current smartphone-based operating system. Compared with hardware, China is still lagging behind in the operating system.

In addition, the mobile phone operating system is still a new thing, at least Gao Mingkang has never heard of the "Android system".

"Could it be that Android hasn't come out yet?"

If you think about it, it's really possible. Gu > Ge has only been on the market for a short time, and is still concentrating on search engines. In other words, Gu & Ge hasn't acquired Android yet?

He decided to ask North American Ventures to find out more about the situation.

After leaving the investment building with Gao Mingkang, Hu Yang called Xia Bing when he returned home and asked her to inform the North American company to find a software company called Android.

Following.

Gao Mingkang introduced the development plan of Mingkang Communication, the company will take communication equipment (mainly base stations) and smart phones as the two main lines in the future, and strive to achieve more than 70% of the degree of autonomy of key components.

Aside from communication equipment, in terms of smart phones, the company focuses on the research and development of mobile phone chips, and the storage and development of operating systems.

After talking with Hu Yang last night, Gao Mingkang felt that he should buy a small software company abroad and began to try to develop a mobile phone operating system.

has known Populus euphratica for a long time, and it is difficult not to be influenced by him, Gao Mingkang has a strong sense of crisis. Therefore, Gao Mingkang attaches great importance to independence and controllability, and has been working hard to improve the localization of the company's products.

Today's meeting was very hotly discussed. Gao Mingkang answered more than 20 questions before coming down from the stage.

In the face of the 3G era, each company has its own plan. How to eat as much as possible from this trillion-level cake is their ultimate goal.

After so many years of layout, Huijia has formed a relatively complete industrial chain.

Mingkang Communication is not only one of the three major communication equipment providers in China, but also participates in the formulation of 3G standards. The company's base station products can not only seize a large market share in China, but also have a place in the international market.

Gao Mingkang is now actively promoting the research and development of mobile phone chips, and after success, it can be handed over to Xintong International foundry.

The storage chip (flash memory) needed for smart phones, the technical level of Charm Semiconductor is not bad, and it can completely replace some imported products.

The 3C foundry capability of Stubborn Stone Technology can meet the production of mobile phone products such as Mingkang Communication, various products of Charm Electronics and Ark computer series products.

In this way, this industrial chain has basically achieved a closed cycle, and the ability to resist risks has been greatly improved.

Of course, at this stage, it is not necessary to achieve localization in every link, and what should be imported can still be imported. However, it must be ensured that once the external environment changes, there are alternatives for all components.

After two days of meetings, the companies of Huijia basically clarified their respective development paths. This kind of exchange is necessary to give people a broader perspective on the prospects of new technologies.

In the afternoon, the meeting ended, and many people flew back to their respective company sites overnight, despite their hard work.

"Mr. Hu, I will go tomorrow to see the construction of the 6th generation production line, and then I will return to the capital. Really, I feel like there are some things that are really providential, and if we haven't started building our Gen 6 line yet, we're definitely going to miss a lot of opportunities. ”

As the largest display device provider in China, Dongfang Technology will provide mobile phone screens in the future. There is no doubt how important the mobile phone screen is, and the key thing can avoid the neck of some international giants.

Liu Jin saw a huge business opportunity through the two-day meeting, and he decided to speed up the construction process of the 6th generation TFT-LCD production line.

"Mr. Liu, you are busy with yours, let's contact you again if there is anything. ”

Hu Yang was at the door of the conference room, saying goodbye to everyone one by one. The party that was originally scheduled for the evening had to be cancelled.

A week has passed.

There is news from North America that North American venture capital has found the company called "Android" and has begun to try to contact them.

Mr. Hu, this Android company was only founded last year, and the founder is a former Microsoft employee. They recently developed an operating system that can be used in mobile phones, but otherwise it is lackluster. ”

Xia Bing deliberately came to the deep sea from Yangcheng to report the progress of this matter to Hu Yang.

"Is it possible to buy this company?"

Populus euphratica is not unconfident in his own strength, but he has no confidence in Lao Mei. Lao Mei is strictly guarded against technology, and once they think that the acquisition may affect themselves, they will definitely veto the acquisition.

"At present, there is still a great possibility that the acquisition will be successful. After all, this company is not well-known, and the scale of the enterprise is pitiful. North American venture capital investors have made a preliminary calculation, the cost of acquiring the company is about $10 million to $2,000. ”

Xia Bing told the truth, she didn't find it difficult to acquire this company.

"Well, Mr. Xia, you continue to follow up on this matter. Once the other party agrees, you must notify me as soon as possible. In addition, if it is the reason for the purchase price, we will take the money and smash it. If $10 million is not enough, it will be 20 million, 30 million or even 50 million. ”

For the time being, Android has not expressed its intention to acquire, and Hu Yang asked Xia Bing and North American venture capital to continue to keep in touch with each other.

In this matter, Hu Yang decided to adopt the plan of "violent acquisition". Nothing else, just throw money, even if it is a $100 million investment, he will take this company.

For Populus euphratica, what is money used for? Isn't it just used to convince people with reason?

"Okay, Mr. Hu, I understand. I'm going to go to North America in the next two days to take care of this myself. ”

Xia Bing could feel the importance that Hu Yang attached to this small acquisition, and she decided to take charge of the negotiations with Android herself.

"That's hard work for you. I'll ask Assistant Wu to help you apply for a route, and you can take the company's Dassault 2000 to North America. ”

Hu Yang currently has two business jets in his hands, in addition to the Gulfstream G550 aircraft he uses, and a Dassault Falcon 2000 aircraft.

Xia Bing was not hypocritical, said "yes", and returned to Yangcheng to prepare.

Wu Xinhui applied for a route three days later, and Xia Bing led a negotiation team to fly directly to North America.

As for whether the acquisition of Android Company can be successful, Hu Yang actually has no bottom in his heart. But no matter what, he had to try.

After Xia Bing left, Hu Yang was not idle, and these days he has been paying attention to when the 3G license will be issued in China.

In fact, it takes a process from the release of 3G standards, to the successive issuance of licenses by various countries, to the listing and sale of 3G mobile phones.

At present, Gao Mingkang should be the first to get busy. The construction of 3G network must use base stations, which is the first share of the whole cake.

But the entire industrial chain must be moved from now on. R&D of chips and components, R&D of 3G mobile phones...... In short, every link in the chain has to be done by someone. This is not something that any company or group can accomplish alone, from domestic to foreign, it is not only Huijia that sees the future prospects of 3G.

"Mr. Hu, the mutton airlifted from Xijiang has arrived today, will you go home for dinner in the evening?"

Before getting off work, Wu Xinhui specially reminded Hu Yang. Populus euphratica loves to eat beef and mutton from Xijiang, and Xijiang will often fly some over.

Speaking of this, Chen Jialin also laughed at him, he has eaten so many top delicacies in the world, why do he always think about the local specialties in his hometown?

Populus euphratica didn't bother to argue with him, food still depends on personal taste.

"I didn't say it, let's have a pot of stewed mutton in the evening, and then some skewers, Assistant Wu, are you with you?"

For this reason, Hu Yang also specially found a chef who is good at cooking mutton, this person used to work in Xijiang Hotel, and later resigned to come to the deep sea, and was only dug up by Hu Yang last year.

Wu Xinhui smiled weakly: "Mr. Hu, I won't disturb you to enjoy the food, I want to go out for a walk tonight." ”

Hu Yang knew that Wu Xinhui couldn't eat mutton, and he blurted out the sentence just now.

"Hey, that's fine, whatever you want. ”

Hu Yang cleaned up briefly and left the office. By the time he got home, dinner was almost ready.

"Ah Yang, there is still half an hour to eat, you can rest for a while. ”

Tian Sichun has been staying here a lot lately, and she finds that after leaving school, she has nothing to do, and occasionally feels bored.

It's only occasional because she still needs to spare some time and energy to think about how to decorate her new house.

"Chunchun, come and sit. On the weekend, we will go to the new house to have a look, and after New Year's Day, we will do the marriage. ”

Tian Sichun will definitely not urge Hu Yang, but Hu Yang has always remembered this promise in his heart. He also feels that with the development of his career, it is really necessary to get married.

The joy on Tian Sichun's face flashed, and then he said with a smile: "Well, I'll listen to you about this." ”

After eating, Tian Sichun asked a few girlfriends to go for beauty. Hu Yang didn't want to go out, so he walked around the community for a while.
