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 WAP standard is beneficial and harmless, and it is the most beneficial for merchants, and it is naturally strongly supported!

This time, more than 100 companies or institutions came to Qualcomm.

Qualcomm CEO Owen Jacobs held and presided over a WAP network communication protocol standard conference, at the meeting, Owen Jacobs as the moderator gave a speech on the benefits of WAP: "The implementation of Qualcomm's CDMA wireless communication technology makes it possible for mobile phones to access the Internet! However, if the mobile phone wants to communicate with the intent, then a unified network communication protocol needs to be developed between them, otherwise, data transmission and reception errors will occur!! Therefore, Qualcomm has deliberately developed the WAP standard with this in mind. The WAP standard is used all over the world, so you don't have to worry about data errors due to different protocols!"

"WAP standardization can save a lot of resources, companies do not have to spend time and energy to redevelop a standard, and can launch products as soon as possible, so as to seize the market?!!!

After Owen Jacobs finished speaking, the representatives of many companies or institutions below nodded slightly in approval. Seeing this, Owen Jacobs couldn't help but smile on his face, and then said: "At present, the wireless communication of mobile phones is the fastest transmission speed of the CDMA network, reaching 25Kbps, far exceeding the transmission speed of the 15Kbps of the European GSM network!! in this time, I recommend you to buy the Snapdragon 100 chips developed by Qualcomm to make your mobile phone Internet faster!!"

Owen Jacobs said in the end. By the way, I did a job of promoting the Snapdragon 100 chip. Next, Qualcomm issued a WAP standard approval statement to each representative present to vote on whether to support the WAP standard. And after Qualcomm statistics. You can announce to the world that so-and-so company supports the WAP standard, so as to form a greater influence!

Half an hour later, the statistics were counted, and Owen Jacobs found out. More than 70% of the companies or institutions expressed their support! Seeing this data, Owen Jacobs smiled, the general trend has been achieved, enough to announce that WAP has formed 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 Qualcomm's WAP network communication protocol, that is, WAP can form a global unified standard !!"

Bang Bang Bang !!

A burst of applause erupted.

After the meeting, Owen Jacobs came backstage and saw Intel CEO Craig Barrett talking to the CEO of Motorola, the largest mobile phone manufacturer by the time, around the corner. Both men were smiling and clearly had a good conversation......

Owen Jacobs doesn't have to get close to him to guess what they're talking about. Mobile phones are becoming more and more popular, and Intel has also seen this piece of meat fat, so it naturally wants to swallow it! It is now dominant in the field of computer CPU chips, and it is ambitious, and it still does not let go of mobile phone chips!!

Owen Jacobs frowned, Intel's strength is undoubted, and it will also enter the field of mobile phone chips to get a piece of the pie. It's really hard to deal with!!

Thinking of this, Owen Jacobs was in a hurry, and when he returned to his 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 anything bad?"

"That's right, I found that Intel and Motorola are in contact! Motorola mobile phones account for the world's largest mobile phone market share, and they are a well-deserved hegemon! If they cooperate with Intel and not with us, Qualcomm will lose a lot of !!."

"Hmm. Henry nodded in response to this, and then pondered, remembering that Intel had entered the field of mobile phone chips in his previous life, but he was on the wrong side, and the result was tragic! Intel developed a chip called xsale to enter the mobile phone market, and stood in Motorola's Linux lineup.

However, Nokia has sprung up and killed Motorola one after another, so Intel's plan to enter the mobile phone market has failed!!

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

Owen Jacobs thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "It doesn't seem like so!"

"That's good," Henry said with a smile, "Intel is on Motorola's side, then we'll be on Nokia's side!! you talk to Nokia and express our intention to cooperate!"

"Nokia?, Nokia in Finland?" Owen Jacobs thought for a moment and frowned, "Chairman, this company is involved in too many industries and is on the verge of bankruptcy. So I don't think they'll be a good partner!!"

Henry patted his head and cursed secretly, how could he forget this bad, Nokia is a large cross-industry company in Finland, and its industries involve papermaking, chemicals, rubber, cables, pharmaceuticals, natural gas, oil, military and other fields, and as a result, Nokia has been dragged down by too many industries! Now Nokia is really in a storm, and later the new president and senior management of Nokia decisively abandoned all other industries, split up and sold all traditional industries, and only kept Nokia's electronics department. This decision was the most important strategic choice in Nokia's history, and it was almost unrivaled for 15 consecutive years as the No. 1 mobile phone seller!!

Until, of course, the advent of the Apple "Terminator......

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

"What?" said Owen Jacobs, stunned, thinking he had misheard, "Chairman, you're saying you're buying Nokia?"

Henry affirmed, "Yes, that's right, I've decided to buy Nokia!" You don't have to worry about it, I'll let Silicon Valley Electronics Group buy it! When the time comes, Qualcomm will cooperate with Silicon Valley Electronics Group!"

"Okay!"

"Well, that's it!"

After all that is said. Henry hung up the phone, thinking about the fact that he could buy Nokia, and he felt a little excited...... Now is Nokia's toughest moment, acquiring it, that would mean. In the era of mobile phone feature phones, no one can beat it!!

Henry was in a good mood and couldn't help humming a song: "It's awesome, it's awesome, it's ...... to collect apples after Nokia"

Henry was at the headquarters of the Silicon Valley Electronics Group, and immediately dialed the phone to find CEO Harrison.

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

"Chairman, what do you have to do with me?" asked Harrison.

"Yes," Henry nodded, "yes. You immediately contact Nokia to make a purchase request. Well, only the acquisition of the Nokia electronics division !!"

"Well, okay!" Harrison replied, his face was not surprised, he was used to the boss asking him to buy the company, "If the chairman has nothing else to order, then I'll arrange the acquisition now!"

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

……

The next morning. Qualcomm held a press conference to announce that the wap launched by Qualcomm has been recognized by most of the world's mobile phone manufacturers and telecom companies, forming a standard!!

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

In fact, Qualcomm's main customers are such a group of small companies, like Ericsson. Large mobile phone manufacturers such as Motorola have cooperated in the form of patent licensing to develop their own CDMA chips, and Qualcomm will be given a patent fee of $40 for each CDMA chip produced!!

Qualcomm can also make a lot of money through patent fees, but it doesn't make as much money as selling chips on its own! If Qualcomm wants to promote CDMA, it must cooperate with Ericsson, Motorola, and other mobile phone giants......

Just when Qualcomm's business was booming, Owen Jacobs called Henry again: "Chairman, I have something I want to propose to you!"

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Chairman, ARM only has a chip design department, but no production factory, I think we should build our own wafer factory! In the future, we will also launch a new generation of cdma chips, if we can produce them ourselves, we can save bad expenses! In addition, we can more effectively control production capacity, not affected by other manufacturers!!

When Henry heard this, he felt that it made sense.

ARM does not have a production factory, that is, it is poor, it cannot afford to open a production factory, and in the end it can only do chip design, and then license it out to earn a patent fee. But, obviously, the patent fee and the product, of course, are the product more profitable!

Qualcomm will have to produce hundreds of millions of chips every year in the future, and it is better to find an OEM than to produce it yourself, which is a very huge expense! However, you can learn from Samsung, and the excess production capacity can be used for OEM!! however, Henry suddenly thought of TSMC!

TSMC is the world's first foundry, founded in 1987, and will become the world's largest foundry in the future, with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars.

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

It's just that TSMC founder Zhang Zhongmou is willing to sell the company?

Henry couldn't help but shake his head, Zhang Zhongmou can have such courage, in the case that almost no one is optimistic, resolutely created TSMC, created the wafer foundry model, obviously, his vision is extraordinary, his heart is firm, he wants to buy his company, eighty percent will fail! Moreover, after four years of development, TSMC has passed the most difficult moment. Now the company's development speed is very fast, the profitability is getting better and better, if you are a shareholder, as a small shareholder, Zhang Zhongmou does not mind, but if you want to control, it is absolutely impossible......

Come on, simply build a wafer factory by yourself, and there won't be so much to do!

So, Henry said to Owen Jacobs: "Well, okay, let's build a wafer factory! But, does Qualcomm have the money?" Qualcomm now is no more likely to build a wafer factory of a certain scale than it was at the beginning, at least hundreds of millions of dollars! Qualcomm will have a hard time coming up with this money for the time being, because the money they spend on research and development accounts for more than 60 percent of their revenues......

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 sharply!!"

"Listing and financing?" Henry heard this, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he was used to making money from Japan and the Soviet Union, and he already had Williams Bank to borrow money at any time, so for a long time, Henry basically didn't lack any money, so he had no intention of listing the company!

However, now that he heard Owen Jacobs propose to let Qualcomm go public, Henry suddenly reacted that it was time for his company to go public gradually!!

After the company is listed, it can raise funds, the shares will be more valuable, and the employees will be more motivated when they work! In addition, after the company is listed, the company's visibility will be improved, the company's transparency will be improved, and the public's confidence in the company will be increased!!

Anyway, it's good to go public. Moreover, the Internet bubble will definitely be advanced, and Henry doesn't know the specific time, so it is better to go public first, cash out some of the funds when the stock price is more appropriate, and then buy the shares back when the Internet bubble is over!

Henry pondered for a while, then replied, "Okay, then let the company go public and raise funds!!

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

Henry leaned back in his chair with his head back, thinking in his heart, in addition to going public with Qualcomm, which company should also be listed?!

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

It seems that the NASDAQ has not had a sensation in a long time, so in that case, let's let the four companies go public together...... (Sorry for the late update...... Ask for a subscription !!)
