Chapter 103: Waiting for the Wind to Come

Wang Fan was born in a computer system, and despite having a technology-derived system in hand, he still has a sense of awe.

In order to make mobile phones, he fully considered a series of potential threats, and made a multi-faceted layout and overall consideration. Every step is steady, never aggressive.

Although on the one hand, the reason is that his pattern is relatively large, and the foundation of the beginning is particularly crucial.

More importantly, the mobile phone industry seems to have a low threshold and prosperity, but in fact, it has long been a red sea.

The domestic mobile phone market tends to be saturated, but there are constantly manufacturers to join, the competition has long been white-hot, and mainly concentrated in the low-end, there is not much profit at all.

Even if rice is the first in China, the sales volume is 70 million, and it is mainly concentrated in the thousand-yuan machine. In terms of profits, it can't be compared with Warwick at all, let alone four-star and fruit.

In the face of the constantly saturated domestic market, the only way out for domestic mobile phones is to go out!

But if there is no patent and no technology, what can you do to go out?

Do you want to pay protection money with profits, or do you not pay protection money and wait to be sued?

It is impossible to pay protection fees, a $400 mobile phone, you have to pay $120 in patent fees, and then remove hardware costs, operating costs and various taxes, there is basically nothing left.

As for not paying royalties and waiting to be sued, it is even more impossible. A court order will stop selling your phone and you will have to pay a large fee......

It's basically an unsolvable problem.

In addition to a limited number of brands such as Warwick, medium-sized, and Lianxiang, the vast majority of other domestic mobile phone manufacturers have fallen into this unsolvable circle.

They can only fight each other in China and compete for a limited market share through price wars.

In the face of the broader foreign market, they can only sigh, see it, but can't eat it.

Of course, Wang Fan will also encounter this problem when making mobile phones.

Although he has a technology derivative system that can come up with leading black technology, it is impossible to circumvent all patents.

Ordinary patents, it is possible to find other solutions, but those that are crucial patents cannot be bypassed at all.

For example, communication patents, wifi standard patents, etc., the standards in these aspects are unified, how do you bypass?

Therefore, to make a mobile phone that basically gets rid of all patents is just a fictional existence, and it is impossible at all.

The accumulation of patents is a long process, rice is powerless, and Wang Fan is also helpless.

Unless you buy motorcycles like Lian Xiang and obtain more than 2,000 important patents from them, you can arm yourself and enter the international market.

But now Moto was acquired by Lianxiang, Alcatel was acquired by TCL, and Nochia's patents were acquired by Microsoft.

Who else can Wang Fan consider?

Only those who are half-dead, such as Black Rose.

It's just that the overall valuation of Black Rose is too high, at least $4 billion, packaged for sale, and the once proud mobile phone business is worthless.

Wang Fan doesn't need these at all, all he needs is patents! In addition, I can't come up with so much money, and more importantly, it's not cost-effective.

Of course, BlackBerryMessenger, Heimei's free instant messaging app, has good security and is a selling point, but does Wang Fan need it?

With a technology-derived system, he could come up with a better and safer solution.

Since he can't go out for the time being, then Wang Fan can only join the domestic Red Sea and get a piece of the pie.

Of course, his goal is not a low-end price war, but a high-end market of fruits and four-stars!

He wants to snatch the food from the tiger's mouth and divide the egg custard of the industry leader!

Although it was difficult, Wang Fan had no choice. Therefore, he made a diversified layout.

With the successful release of Camera Master, Wang Fan's layout has basically been successful, and it will be logical to enter the mobile phone industry.

And other friends will not only not stop it, but will help them vigorously, because they have a request for Wang Fan. This is the effect that Wang Fan wants.

Otherwise, there will be suppression by international giants, and a number of domestic manufacturers will be held back, so Wang Fan's mobile phone business is destined to be finished.

Although the CPU intelligent control software can also catch most of the domestic manufacturers, but it is only temporary, once the 820 is no longer hot next year, this binding force will disappear in an instant.

Therefore, Wang Fan launched the camera master.

In the field of photography, the technical content is very high, and with the current style of many domestic manufacturers, they will not be able to get rid of their dependence on mortal technology even within a few years.

And now Wang Fan has no shortage of funds, and there are follow-up funds. But he was still waiting, waiting for the wind to come.

As Lei Jun said, buying a mobile phone is buying a SOC (a more rigorous way of saying it can be directly understood as a CPU).

The quality of SOC directly affects the positioning of mobile phones.

Although Fruit has not emphasized much on hardware, Fruit's SOC often hangs the entire camp of Android.

Of course, the release of the new four-star SOC in half a year will surpass the fruit generation. In another six months, the new SOC of fruit will be released, and it will be overtaken again. Basically, the two are half a year ahead respectively.

The strongest SOC at the moment, fruits are not sold and the platforms are different, Wang Fan can only wait for four stars and high tubes.

They are also very interested in CPU intelligent control software, but they have not taken action.

Now, four-star is impossible, as if standing on the opposite side of mortal technology, then only the high tube remains.

The relationship between the giants is intricate, that is, the biggest enemy, but also a close partner.

Just like fruit and four stars, one with the highest profit and the other with the largest market share. Natural mortal enemies, but multi-faceted cooperation.

Four-star provides a variety of hardware for Fruit, and even a large part of Fruit's CPU is four-star foundry, and Fruit is also one of Four-Star's main customers.

There are also high cylinders and four-stars, both of which are CPU giants, and the relationship is even more complicated.

Four Star has its own wafer fab that can produce CPUs. As a semiconductor giant, Gao Tube is not manufactured by a wafer factory, so it can only be handed over to Four-Star or TSMC foundry.

This intricate relationship makes the two who are originally in a competitive position cooperate with each other.

Four-Star buys CPUs that use high-barrel, and high-barrel also gives CPU orders to four-star foundries.

It can be seen that giants always only look at interests. As long as the interests are there, the natural enemies can also cooperate closely.

Wang Fan competes with giants, so he naturally needs to adapt to this kind of rule, and when necessary, he uses his strength to let the giants deal with the giants.

Take advantage of the complex relationships between giants, or check and balance each other, to gain his interests. Although it is not easy.

Previously, both Gao and Four Star needed his CPU optimization technology, but neither of them made a move. It can be seen that this is also a kind of checks and balances, and there is even the influence of fruits.

All three are CPU giants, each with their own advantages, but they are basically in balance.

Once a certain party obtains Wang Fan's CPU tuning technology, it is bound to advance by leaps and bounds, leading the others by a large margin, and even stifling the other two.

Therefore, the three parties checked and balanced each other and maintained close contacts, but neither of them acted rashly.

And Wang Fan also can't take the initiative, Gao Cheng is the overlord of the CPU industry, a typical seller's market, if Wang Fan takes the initiative to find the door, he will definitely have to accept a lot of unequal treaties, and even restrictions.

Of course, the release of the camera master, to a certain extent, changed some of the situation, at least fruit and four stars will not be indifferent.

And the weight of mortal technology in Gao Guan's heart is also different from the past. It is believed that they will soon be unable to sit still.

But all Wang Fan can do at the moment is to wait, wait for the wind to come!
