Chapter 905: Qualcomm with a promising future
If there is one place in the United States with the fastest internet speed, it must be Silicon Valley. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Silicon Valley is full of fiber optics buried underground, and the government is using it as a pilot to try to speed up the network, and wait until the technology is tested before rolling it out to the whole country.
Compared to the Internet speed in Monterey Bay, the speed of opening a web page in Silicon Valley is at least twice as fast.
Destiny Encyclopedia quickly responded, finding the word "Qualcomm" that Han Xuan searched for.
Nowadays, major companies like to compile their own company details in the Destiny Encyclopedia, so that users can understand the company's glorious history.
Although most of those introductions have elements of boasting, the information and important time points are more authentic and credible than the data collected by other users.
Before the introduction of the encyclopedia function of the Destiny browser, people wanted to know something, except to ask others, otherwise they went to the library to look up materials, and it was difficult to get the information they wanted.
At present, there are only about 100,000 websites in the world, which shows how poor the network resources are.
Han Xuan wanted to find out the information of Cisco, and he had to call McKinsey & Company to inquire, but the information they had there was also collected manually, and not all of them were correct.
How can it be convenient in the future, use the computer to enter the name of a certain company in the search bar, and the details of today's stock trading of that company will all be presented......
Founded in 1985 and headquartered in San Diego, California, Qualcomm is primarily involved in wireless technology and processor manufacturing.
After reading the brief introduction to this company in the Encyclopedia of Destiny, Han Xuan finally put his mind at ease.
Today, I found out that I missed Cisco, missed Adobe, and fortunately, I didn't miss Qualcomm......
For this giant enterprise with a market value higher than Intel Corporation in the future and a total chip shipment of more than 6 billion, he can be regarded as a fresh memory.
Many of the mobile phones used at that time, including the processor and wireless chip, were produced by Qualcomm.
What few people know is that Apple has been using Qualcomm's baseband chips since the iPhone 4.
The so-called baseband chip refers to the assumption that a mobile phone wants to achieve the most basic function - making calls and sending text messages.
Then this mobile phone should include the RF part, the baseband part, the power management, peripherals, and the software.
Among them, the RF part and the baseband part are the core of the baseband chip, and Apple has always relied on Qualcomm to help produce it.
There are only a few companies in the world with this kind of high-tech production technology, such as Samsung, MediaTek, Broadcom, Infineon, etc.
And now, MediaTek and Infineon have not yet been founded.
If you want to take the lead in the future smartphone market, Qualcomm's technology and patents are extremely important to Han Xuan.
In addition to the well-known processors and wireless chips, Qualcomm also holds patents for Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology for wireless and data products.
In the future, Huaxia's telecom companies will use this CDMA network technology.
In addition to Huaxia, more than 100 countries around the world are also using it, and Qualcomm has made a lot of money by licensing this technology.
A few years ago, when this new network technology was first invented, it was used by truck company bosses to locate their trucks.
Today, the old man's SOS transportation company is still using Qualcomm CDMA technology to plan the logistics network by understanding the specific location of each truck.
Just the year before last, the Telecommunications Industry Association of the United States had just adopted CDMA, a cellular network standard, and Qualcomm had begun to supply network infrastructure and chips to partners and license its own technology.
However, in this era of GSM network technology, CDMA has not received much response.
In the past two years, only a few small U.S. telecommunications companies have adopted this new network technology, and they have complained that it is not easy to use.
Han Xuan also saw that Qualcomm's CDMA network said that it can now support a transmission speed of 14kb/s.
In other words, as long as a wireless chip suitable for mobile phone use is made and the right environment is available, the mobile phone can theoretically connect to the Internet through the CDMA network.
This is not unique to CDMA networks, GSM networks can be.
Before the 3G network, the GSM signal is slightly better, and then the 4G, 5G ultra-high-speed network, CDMA is more excellent, and its development stage is in the future.
Now that the WAP Alliance has not been established, it is impossible to bypass the communication provider to connect to the Internet, but the day when mobile phones can access the Internet should not be far away.
HOPE Technologies is reaching out to Motorola, Ericsson and others to try to form an unprecedented forum for wireless protocols that will allow users to connect to the Internet using their mobile phones.
The people around saw the little boss sitting in front of the computer, frowning and pondering, quietly afraid of disturbing him.
At this moment, Han Xuan opened his mouth and said, "Dawson, call CEO Anthony and ask him to come over."
I have something to discuss with him, it's important......"
The reason why he didn't directly let the old executive Charlie contact Qualcomm was because Han Xuan felt that Hope Technology would be a giant in the future if it continued to develop on the current scale, and it was not a good thing that it was too big.
So this time he decided to use the money in his account to buy the company.
Based on Qualcomm's current turnover, the total market value is only about $80 million, and even if it is acquired at a premium, the final transaction price will not exceed $200 million.
He plans to discuss with Anthony and find some elite investment experts to set up a "personal office" belonging to Han Xuan......
The so-called burning panic with more money probably refers to the current Han Xuan.
With several large sums of money coming into his pocket, there is no shortage of money for the time being, in fact, he doesn't know how much money he has now, because it is increasing every day.
Compared to investing in East West Bank, or buying funds from fund companies, that money yields a much lower rate of return than investing in promising companies.
Part of the money is used to sell land, part of the money is used to buy antiques, part of the money is invested in stocks, and part of the money is used to develop industries.
The rest of the money is used to eat, drink, and enjoy life.
This is the healthiest way to manage your money.
Finding several places where he could spend money and make money, Han Xuan was in a good mood.
After visiting the software department, they went to the company's hardware development department on the eighth floor.
Looking out the window, the Candle in the Wind Building is rising not far from the ground, and the employees here have recently been busy developing a new product for the company...... (To be continued.) )
