Chapter 499: Crisis 1

The rise of every company is inevitably accompanied by the weakening of other companies, and for Spreadtrum Communications to develop, the first target must be Qualcomm, followed by MediaTek. Through the plundering of Nortel and IDCC's patents, Spreadtrum Communications has the potential to be no weaker than Qualcomm in the communication baseband, as for CPU performance, it is to fight for R&D strength, a R&D team of thousands of people is not enough, tens of thousands of people, Qualcomm can have 30,000 employees, Spreadtrum may not be impossible. As long as we don't go in the wrong direction and have enough funds, most of the scientific and technological problems can be solved. This can also be illustrated by the subsequent success of HiSilicon.

Spreadtrum, which occupies Tianshi (TD industry, domestic 3G license issuance) and (Qualcomm's patent fees are too high, many companies hope to have game-breakers join), as long as it does not make mistakes, it can basically replace MediaTek's market position in the 2G mobile phone era and become the second in the industry.

Zhou Shi's intentional or unintentional suppression of Qualcomm is reflected in many aspects, such as Qualcomm's future graphics processor Adreno, which was taken into Spreadtrum's arms, and now Qualcomm is also cooperating with Spreadtrum to find ways to take Adreno back, but unfortunately Zhou Shi will not be so stupid. The other is Atheros, which was acquired by Avago and is a very important subsidiary of Qualcomm in the future. Removing these two items, the future of learning MediaTek's Qualcomm, which is known for its highly integrated mobile optimization system-on-chip (SoC), may not be so scary.

With the development of Guoke financing, more and more information has been revealed, the details of Nortel Network's patent sale have been further disclosed, and IDCC, whose stock price has nearly tripled, is not the only beneficiary, and Guoke is also one of the beneficiaries. In addition to envy, there is also countless jealousy, and at the same time there are inevitable doubts.

"Is there a problem with the review of Nortel's network patent sales, and is there any violation of the rules?

"Which companies are the patents of Nortel Networks sold to, why are there no specific details, and how much did the Huaxia people steal from them?"

"Nortel falls, the husk rises!" this one is relatively neutral

"The biggest winner in the subprime mortgage crisis !!" is Zhou Shi

Unlike the overwhelming doubts abroad, the domestic science and technology circle seems to be playing chicken blood, applauding the patent of Guohu. At the same time, Guoke has been applying for patents continuously since 2007, and has passed nearly 300 patents, including invention, utility model, and design patents. And the number and quality of applications are increasing day by day. Guoke also slowly released some information to make its technology company image more distinct. At the same time, Nut Mobile is also resolutely gaining popularity and relying on the fruit shell for marketing. At least the sales of nut mobile phones at home and abroad are also increasing rapidly. The whitewashed husk for himself, a dead nut, and all kinds of outrageous rumors finally managed to stabilize the situation.

But there was another, not-so-unexpected surprise, which came out on time this March. Zhou Shi ranked second to Michael Dale in the 2010 Forbes Global Rich Edition, and ranked 40th in the world with Mikhail Prokhorov, a famous Russian oligarch and owner of the US Nets, with a net worth of $13.4 billion. Amazon's major shareholder Bezos, with a net worth of 14.2 billion, ranks 35th in the world after Malaysia's sugar king Guo Henian and before George Soros.

The huge wealth has caused even greater criticism, and although most of his assets are traceable, there are also some unclear points.

"Larry, how do you deal with this situation?" Zhou Shi called to ask Larry Ellison, who is ranked 6th in the world and has a net worth of 28 billion.

"Never mind it, these people are just jealous. You're still too kind, and when you encounter those damn bullshit media, you have to sue them fiercely, so that you can be honest "Ellison is not a good boy, and the tit-for-tat is very strong.

"But I'm Chinese?" Zhou Shi hesitated

"What's the matter, worry about racism, if that would be better. "Ellison

"Okay, thank you for your advice" Zhou Shi faced all kinds of doubts before, most of the time he ignored them (on the surface, there must be personal image management and marketing on the Internet), and in a few cases, he responded positively and refuted the rumors. It's time to show your edge.

Hung up the phone, Zhou Shi informed the time network to close the network, before using hackers to attack the friend network, the hackers who stole user information found a lot, but there are still some awesome people who are well hidden, they didn't catch it, and they wanted to put a long line to catch a big fish, think about it, forget it, pull out these hackers with leaked identities to sacrifice the flag, and by the way, they are cracking down on those excessive media.

"Mr. Zhou, rest assured, we have been staring at a few targets for a long time, and I guarantee that they won't be able to run this time. Chen Wen said confidently

Having money is good, and many people take the initiative to worry about themselves. Most of the journalists and media who provoke the rich are sick in their brains, Zhou Shi is not a Russian oligarch, there are not so many black spots, and there are countless ways to make people who offend him uncomfortable through normal means. Moreover, up to now, most of Zhou Shi's assets have been allocated to trusts and charitable funds. Although the wealth does not belong to him, the control is firmly in his hands. Even if you want to buy an aircraft yourself, you can do so through a trust fund.

Forbes also explained Zhou Shi's wealth, and the value of Zhou Shi's shares in Galaxy Capital and Four Elephant Fund has not been calculated, and the specific wealth data may be more.

The big bang of Zhou Shi's wealth in China is very complicated, and it is both proud and a little sad, how can other people's children be so successful? How long will it take for the richest man on the mainland to surpass the richest man in Hong Kong and become the richest man in China? This time, Li Bancheng continues to be the richest Chinese man with a net worth of $21 billion, and the gap between the two is $7.5 billion, according to the growth rate of Zhou Shi's wealth, it seems that it will not take long.

Fortunately, all kinds of criticism of Zhou Shi in foreign countries did not appear in China, and more people still regarded Zhou Shi as a kind of glory and honor. Wealth is so high that it has made people lose the courage to be jealous. The rest is the high mountains, and I don't know if it will be upgraded to a scenic line in a few decades.

Just when Zhou Shi was busy with various things, Kevin Feige made a phone call.

"Simon, Disney knew about our plans and was unhappy with our acquisition of MGM, thinking we were fooling around and clearly making a mess......" Kevin Feige

"You didn't explain?" Zhou Shi

"There's no explanation, but they're just messing around. "Kevin Feige

"Is it that they are not dead set on buying Marvel, if we buy MGM, Disney will basically not buy us. Zhou Shi guessed

"I think it should be!" Kevin Feige

"Let's do it first, I'll go back tomorrow to see ......" Zhou Shi actually knew that if it was really for Marvel, it would be useless for him to go.

"Okay, I'll hear from you!" Kevin Feige
