Hesitating, Su Mu has not yet made up his mind to enter the mobile phone manufacturing industry.

A computer project has been difficult to develop, and peers to grab the head, constantly compress profits and reduce prices to seize the market, the production of mobile phones is not easy to get ahead, patents are firmly held by Motorola, Siemens and other companies, it is difficult to occupy an advantage in price.

Today, Motorola still occupies more than 70% of the market in the global mobile phone retail industry, with a market share of 80.2% in 1985, 76.4% in 1986, and 79.2% in 1987, earning more than one billion dollars a year by patent licensing.

Last year's data has not yet been released, but from the first three quarters, the market share has declined, mainly because there are a large number of countries around the world, about more than 200 machine manufacturers, so that customers have more choices, "mobile phone" is no longer equated with "Motorola".

Su Mu tried to find space for his development from a pile of data, but unfortunately failed.

The more you see, the more inclined to be safe, and there are still a large number of blank areas of Internet companies, these mobile phone manufacturing giants have been stable, technology is higher than Su Mu, more talents than Su Mu, more funds are also more abundant, there is no way to fight at present, it is better to honestly invest money in Penguin Company, to lay a good foundation of the PC market open.

Cautious by nature, an investment means tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars, small fights are no longer visible, since it is difficult to succeed, or even if it is successful, it can only be regarded as a third-rate mobile phone brand, with good luck you can be among the second-rate, it is expected that the profit is limited, and there are so many opportunities to make money, it is not necessary to hang yourself on this tree.

The content of the risk assessment given by the consulting company is similar to that of Sumu, and there is a great risk in the case of technology and market dominance, but A.T. Kearney Consulting gives an optimistic evaluation of the prospect of the mobile phone market.

The impulse comes and goes quickly, Su Mu calmly thought about it, and finally gave up for the time being, and told Charlie Gibbs, who was sitting quietly opposite: "The competition is fiercer than I expected, with the development of communication technology, the market will definitely expand in the future, but I don't dare to compete with those mature companies, forget it."

Send me the bill, and send someone to help me evaluate the development of the PC and peripheral product market last year, and it is best to compile a list of high-quality small and medium-sized enterprises in Silicon Valley, and I plan to set up an angel investment department. ”

The consulting company only suggested that he would not help make a decision, and when he learned that Su Mu did not plan to enter the mobile phone manufacturing industry, the young white man's expression did not change at all, and he received a small business with a happy expression: "I understand, the information will be sent over as soon as possible, are there any special requirements?"

"Hmm...... I don't need to go into too much detail, I just want to know what market they are involved in, what the approximate size is, and these two data are enough. ”

......

After he left, Su Mu continued to lie on the chair and think, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was the right choice not to get involved, at least for now, whether he would regret it in the future, that was something that he needed to worry about later.

The cycle is too long, the rate of return is uncertain, and a lot of money is occupied, he is mainly worried about these three aspects, and he does not dare to use so much money to fight for an opportunity that cannot see the prospects, and there are good projects that can make money at the moment, such as the IT industry.

After becoming wealthy, there are more opportunities for investment, and he feels that it is necessary for him to refrain from making a decision, and if he really decides which project to invest in, he must carefully consider it before making a decision.

appeared on the Forbes magazine rich list, Su Mu wanted to find someone to show off, Lily didn't call back, I don't know where to look at the house, it happened that Li Ping'an was passing by with Australian cedar bonsai, he shouted: "Ping'an! Come here, show you a good thing!"

Li Ping'an heard it, stopped and walked in, and asked him, "What?"

Seeing Su Mu holding the magazine, pointing to a line of small characters on it, thinking that there was some gossip, he got closer to see Su Mu's name and a few numbers, put down the bonsai and took the magazine, and looked at the cover.

At this look, Li Ping'an's face turned black, and he snorted and dropped the sentence: "You just show off, sooner or later you will be kidnapped!"

Su Mu laughed!

The morning passed like this, and when Lily came to the company to look for him, it was already noon.

There are many people in the company, and there is a lack of a canteen, so it is inconvenient for employees to eat, so they need to go downstairs to buy food, otherwise they will bring their own lunch boxes, take a lunch break for an hour, and get off work at half past five in the evening.

When she was shopping for lunch with Lily, Su Mu asked, "How does the house look, there are a few more bodyguards, otherwise it's good for me to live in the current share house, it's boring to come here, right, let's go to the movies in the evening?"

"The first time you went to the bar, you went to my bed, the second time you went to the bar, you also went to my bed, if you go again tonight, will something else happen?" Lily couldn't help laughing at the thought of this.

Last night he knew what he could have done, but he didn't do anything, which made her feel respected, and everyone wanted her boyfriend to be a gentleman, a gentleman who could take care of his emotions, not angry, just joking.

Su Mu had a serious expression and said to her, "It seems that you have a lot of resentment about my inaction. ”

According to the social atmosphere in the United States, it is strange that young men and women have slept in the same bed for two nights, and still drink alcohol, and nothing has happened.

Seeing that Lily was just laughing after hearing this, Su Mu felt that she was hinting at herself, and thought that maybe she should really go further.

Skipping the intimate topic between couples, Lily opened the sandwich wrapper, turned her head sideways and asked Su Mu: "Do you have time, about half an hour, I will take you to see the house, there is one I am very satisfied with, but I don't know if you like it or not." ”

She spent precious time to help herself find a good house, how could Su Mu refuse, and said, "Then let's go take the car, where do you remember?"

"Of course, next to the golf course, the house is close to a lake and the setting is outstanding. ”

"Ah~ There's only one golf course in Menlo Park, I probably know where it is, and it's ...... in a few minutes."

Mediterranean architectural style with brown facades.

The building has only one floor, covering an area of more than 700 square meters, eight bedrooms with bathrooms, two living rooms, a large underground wine cellar, an underground storage room, and an open-air garage next to the garden.

The path in the garden leads to the lake, where a large banyan tree grows in the water, a small pier is built, and small red and white boats float on the water.

The house is surrounded by yards, thousands of square meters, no railings are installed, it is fenced with shrub walls, and the golf course is across the road.

There is no shortage of rich people in Silicon Valley, and many beautiful houses have been built over the decades, and there are only a few families by this lake, each with a different style, and the real estate agent came to take them inside to visit, leaving traces of the previous homeowner's use, and asked someone to clean and tidy up, everything is neatly placed, and there is an oval-shaped table in the dining room, which can accommodate 20 people at the same time.

In front of the real estate agent, Lily said: "I have negotiated the price, you can buy it if you think you can, if you don't like it, then I will help you find it in the afternoon." ”

"Such a great house, I can't fault it, the previous owner's life is absolutely exquisite, look at the silverware and candles on these tables, my house is a table, they are like art, if you can, go through the formalities now, how much?"

As soon as Su Mu's words fell, Lily took out a check from her small black purse and handed it to the real estate agent, then raised her arm, revealing the bracelet, and told him: "I will give you this house, otherwise I will not accept your gift in the future, I recently got the trust fund, enough to buy it, you don't need to worry about me." ”

His eyes were surprised, and he suddenly understood something, and he smiled happily: "Aren't you planning to invest, or I'll pay for it myself, and then buy me a gift when you earn the money yourself, OK?"

Glancing at Su Mu, Lily was still a student at Brown University, and the money she earned while working on the presidential campaign team was not enough to support herself, and retorted: "When you get on Forbes, you start to dislike me for not being capable? ”

Su Mu hesitated for a moment, hugged her and said, "You are willing to take the time to come and accompany me, I am already very happy......
