Of course, Lin Feng knew it very well in his heart.

1.57 million units in 2 days, although this sales are brilliant, can only be regarded as a special case.

On the one hand, because the world has been stimulated by the previous Apple iPhone listing, users who can't buy an iPhone outside the United States have naturally turned to choose Xphone.

On the other hand, the sudden explosion of sales in the second two days of the launch is also due to the digestion of the reservation users who have accumulated for nearly 2 months before, and these users are the high-end users who are most enthusiastic about smartphones.

After digesting about 2 million pre-order users, it is estimated that the sales of Xphone will return to a relatively normal level......

You know, the current mobile phone market is still the world of feature phones represented by Nokia!

In 2008, some analysts predicted that global mobile phone shipments were expected to be 1.213 billion units in 2008, while global smartphone sales were 139 million units, accounting for only 11.40% of global mobile phone sales.

Similarly, in the domestic market, of the 150 million mobile phone sales, the shipment of smartphones is only 17 million units, accounting for 11.3%.

Of course, this also means that the market potential of smartphones is unlimited and there is great room for growth!

So Cool Wind and Xphone still have a long way to go, and the future is bright, but then the competition will become more and more fierce.

Not only will Apple's iPhone begin to expand the global market in the future, but many traditional mobile phone manufacturers represented by Samsung will also begin to transform into the smartphone market.

At best, the Xphone has a first-mover advantage.

It has seized a large part of the smartphone market share that originally belonged to Iphone, as well as traditional brands such as Nokia and Motorola.

When the iPhone gradually improves those defects - in fact, with Apple's deepening understanding of the communication industry, these functional defects are easy to solve, when Samsung, HTC and other manufacturers launch Android-based smartphones, the real market competition will officially begin!

Smartphones are different from traditional mobile phones, the core lies in the baseband chip, operating system and differentiated functions, applications and design, the future competition will be the competition of the whole industry chain, including mobile phone chips, communication patents, research and development, technological innovation, operating systems and application services, channels, brand marketing and other aspects of the comprehensive strength competition.

In addition to the advantages of the core Android system, Lin Feng has an understanding of the development trend of new smart technology and the ability to integrate resources in applications.

As for other aspects, the basic patents are not as good as the traditional manufacturers Nokia and moto, the industrial chain coverage is not as good as Samsung and LG, and the brand appeal is not as good as Apple......

So, it's just getting started!

In the mobile phone market, Cool Wind and Xphone are just getting started.

On the one hand, Lin Feng held a staff meeting to celebrate the good start of Xphone sales, on the one hand, a large red envelope bonus, so that all employees are happy, on the other hand, but also for the employees to unify their understanding in thought, do not be proud, we have just started, we need to work steadily, in research and development, technological innovation, accumulation of strength, it is possible to step by step to the peak.

Lin Feng once again made it clear internally that the annual sales target for Xphone this year is still 20 million units.

…………

Although Lin Feng was carried away by the results of not having **phone listed, he kept calm.

But the outside world and the entire mobile phone industry will not ignore the unnatural sales of Xphone!

Even, most people in the mobile phone industry use words such as "shocked" and "incredible" to describe the feeling of XPhone's hot sales......

If the hot sale of the iPhone is the good start of the new generation of smartphones, then the hot launch of the Xphone is a real show to the world that the new era of smartphones has come!

In just a few days after the launch of the Xphone, many traditional mobile phone manufacturers who have joined the "Open Handheld Alliance" have announced that they have begun the development and production of new smartphones based on the Android platform.

Of course, Lin Feng will not let go of Xphone's rare lead, and this time point is very critical.

The financial crisis that is about to break out will have a serious impact on many manufacturers in the upstream and downstream of the traditional mobile phone industry chain, but Cool Wind has withdrawn a lot of money because of the hot sale of Xphone.

At this time, it's almost time to strike while the iron is hot and make a move to lay out the mergers and acquisitions of the whole industry chain!

Of course, the strength of the Cool Wind family alone is not enough, and after thinking about it, he urgently convened the Cool Wind Board of Directors.

Directors from Fengxing Group: Li Dong and Wang Hao, directors from Google Merrill, and directors Andy Rubin and Li Yinan from Cool Wind were all present.

Lin Feng sat in the center: "Everyone, since the launch of the Xphone for two weeks, the global sales have exceeded 2 million units, basically achieving our expected goal!" ”

There was nothing more encouraging than the news on everyone's faces.

"I also expressed a point of view at the staff meeting of Coolwind before, compared with other manufacturers in R&D and technology accumulation, Coolwind still has shortcomings and needs to make great efforts. The integration and layout of the industrial chain are also very weak, so I think we may need to strengthen this aspect more quickly in the future......"

There are people here who have been following him for a long time, and even Google's Merrill knows his style well.

Li Dong smiled and asked: "Boss, are you ready to carry out mergers and acquisitions?" The funds on the Fengxing side have been prepared for a long time! ”

Andy Rubin said excitedly: "Boss, according to your previous requirements, I have collected some very good baseband chip and RF chip startups in the United States and Europe, and they all have very good engineers and patents!" If we can get them, it will strengthen our weaknesses in chips......"

Li Yinan said: "It's not just chips, basic communication patents, graphic imaging technology, fingerprint recognition technology, etc., many of the functions that Mr. Lin said before, and now we should start to make technical reserves." ”

Google's Merrill smiled and said, "Richard, Larry told me that if there's anything that Cool Wind needs Google's help with, we'll do our best to cooperate!" ”

Lin Feng couldn't help but smile when he saw that these people were all eager to try.

"Well, it seems that everyone knows what to do next......"

He nodded and said: "Yes, mergers and acquisitions are one of the fastest ways to complete the technology accumulation and industrial chain layout, the establishment of the cool wind is too short, although it seems that the development is not bad now, it is on the track, but to achieve a rapid catch-up with competitors, at least to stand on a starting line with them, we need to continue to speed up, and then speed up!" And mergers and acquisitions are our accelerants! ”

He looked at Li Dong: "Joe, Fengxing is already very experienced in mergers and acquisitions, and Zhao Yihua is going to put a burden on him during this time!" I need him to work with Andy and Kazuo to complete our M&A plan for overseas target companies. ”

Li Dong nodded: "No problem, Fengxing has almost done the integration of the content business now, and the rest of the integration of literature and animation can be handed over to Wu Wenhui's starting point team, they are more familiar with the situation in the industry, and the personnel of the investment and mergers and acquisitions department can cooperate." Zhao Yihua will be responsible for the merger and acquisition of Cool Wind next. ”

Although Cool Wind is an independent company, Fengxing is the majority shareholder after all, and Lin Feng is the chairman of the board of directors and CEO of both companies, which is actually a family.

Lin Feng looked at Andy and Li Yinan again: "Andy, Yinan, the two of you will discuss and determine the priority and priority of the acquisition target, and the valuable companies at home and abroad that have the possibility of acquisition will be studied, this time we will do a big job and make up for the shortcomings of Kufeng in one fell swoop!" ”

Andy and Li Yinan both nodded yes, excited in their hearts.

Following a boss like Lin Feng is enjoyable, and the acquisition is full of courage!

Lin Feng said to Merrill again: "Merrill, you and Larry tell me that when Cool Wind and Fengxing acquire some American technology companies, it is estimated that they will be blocked by CFIUS (Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States), and we may need to do lobbying and public relations, hoping that Google can help in this regard." ”

Merrill nodded in understanding, "No problem. ”

Lin Feng nodded with a satisfied smile: "Okay, guys, this financial crisis is a very rare opportunity, many old companies have encountered problems, and it may be difficult for Cool Wind to acquire companies in normal times, but this time we have the opportunity to get them, so let's wish Cool Wind a good situation for future development after this merger and acquisition!" ”

"With the strength of the good wind, send me to the clouds!"

…………

In June 2008, Xphone sold 2.85 million units worldwide, with revenue of US$1.02 billion (7.98 billion yuan)!

On June 30, Coolwind announced that it had acquired Intrinsity, a small American chip company, for $162 million.

Headquartered in Austin, Texas, Inc., Intrinsity is a low-power chip development company with a Fast14 patented design technology that provides a variety of designs, tools, technologies, and professional services to quickly launch a variety of high-performance, low-power, and low-cost chip products in a predictable mode.

In July 2008, the Xphone sold 1.8 million units worldwide, but sales fell back after absorbing the initial number of pre-orders worldwide. The month's revenue was 640 million US dollars (about 5 billion yuan).

On July 10, Cool Wind announced that it had acquired 35 million shares of Imagination, a British graphics chip technology company, at a price of 50 million pounds, with a shareholding ratio of 19.52%, becoming the largest shareholder of Imagination, surpassing Intel's 3% and Apple's 3.6%. Through this equity transaction, Coolwind has also obtained a license to use the PoerVR SGX graphics processor chip.

In August 2008, global sales of the Xphone rose to 2.32 million units (sales in China increased significantly due to marketing stimulus during the Olympics), and revenue rose to US$830 million (6.5 billion yuan) that month.

On August 12, Coolwind announced that it would acquire a 23% stake in Synaptics, a leading company in touch chips, and a provider of human-machine interface solutions for $300 million, becoming the company's largest shareholder, and said that the acquisition will further strengthen the company's leading edge in smartphone touch technology.

With the increase in sales of the Xphone in the global market, and a dizzying string of acquisitions.

Coolwind Technology, an emerging smartphone manufacturer, has shown surprising vitality and vigorous development momentum under the global economic crisis!

This has also attracted the attention of many partners in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.

…………

On August 8, the Beijing Olympic Games opened, and major leaders and entrepreneurs from all over the world gathered in Beijing.

The Fengxing Building of the headquarters of Fengxing Group, a subsidiary of Lin Feng, has become an important stop in the itinerary of the global mobile phone industry chain bosses!

Bigwigs from Qualcomm, Intel, Microsoft, Google, Foxconn, LG, Samsung and other companies took turns to visit......

Lin Feng originally wanted to watch the Olympics at his doorstep, but it turned out to be a daily pick-up......

Forget it, for the sake of the company's development, it doesn't matter.

"Richard, you have a very traditional Chinese culture here, I like it very much!" Dr. Evan Jacob, the father of CDMA and the founder and chairman of Qualcomm, sat in Lin Feng's tea room, sipping tea as if he were in shape.

The CEO sitting next to him, his son Paul Jacobs and Lin Feng are old acquaintances, and they answered with a smile at this moment: "Dad, the last time I was in Davos with Richard, he said that he invited me to have a chance to come to the capital and invite me to tea. ”

Lin Feng smiled and filled the cups for the two of them again: "Doctor, although I am young, I have a lot of respect for tradition and I like such a classical style. ”

Although Ai Wen had silver hair, he was still very energetic, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes behind the glasses, and he looked at Lin Feng meaningfully: "Oh? Is it? Richard, you're the most enterprising young person I've ever met, and I didn't expect you to value tradition as well......"

Lin Feng smiled: "Yes, the reason why tradition exists is to allow our younger generation to inherit, carry forward and develop, which is not contradictory. Doctor, Qualcomm is a traditional leader in the industry, you are known as the father of CDMA, and you have made outstanding contributions to the wireless communication industry, which makes me very admired and respected! ”

"Xmobile is very young, we still need to learn more, more industry seniors like you ask for advice...... I also hope that Qualcomm can have more exchanges and cooperation with Xmobile." There was something in Lin Feng's words.

Evan and Paul looked at each other, and Paul spoke, "Richard, I haven't had time to congratulate you on Xmbolie's accomplishments over the past few months!" The partnership with Xmobile is also one of the best choices Qualcomm has made over the years...... can you tell us any new ideas? I'm interested! ”

Lin Feng smiled, raised the teacup, and saluted.

The two suppressed their curiosity and raised their teacups to take a sip.

Putting down the teacup, Lin Fengcai said casually: "If Qualcomm and Xmobile strengthen cooperation through mutual participation, we can get Qualcomm's authorization in chip patents, and Qualcomm can share more of Xphone's benefits, I don't know if Qualcomm is interested in such cooperation?" ”

Paul was stunned, mutual shares?

It was a question he had never thought about, and he couldn't help but look at his father.

Although Paul has taken over the position of CEO, his father Evan is still the chairman of Qualcomm and has extremely high authority.

Ai Wen was silent, with a calm expression on his face, but the light flashing in his eyes behind his glasses showed that he was also thinking in his heart.

Qualcomm and Coolwind, these two companies are not on the same level at all.

Qualcomm just surpassed Texas Instruments last year to become the world's largest wireless chip manufacturer, with a market value of more than $70 billion, and the accumulation of 3G basic communication patents has made Qualcomm popular in the foreseeable future, 3G is popularized around the world, and Qualcomm is bound to have a unique position in the industrial chain.

And Cool Wind is just an emerging mobile phone company that has only been established for less than 1 year......

However, thinking about it from another angle, we can't underestimate Coolwind Technology.

You know, the chairman and CEO of Cool Wind is the young man sitting in front of him!

28 years old, worth $38 billion, the fifth richest person in the world!

His other company, Fengxing Group, has a market value of $90 billion, the world's third-largest Internet company, no worse than Qualcomm......

Moreover, the results of the Cool Wind in the past three months can be said to be quite fantastic!

A company that has only been founded for less than a year has exceeded $2 billion in revenue and nearly $1 billion in profits in the past quarter!

To put it mildly, just from the data of the past quarter, the revenue of Cool Wind and Qualcomm is very close, and Qualcomm's revenue in the first quarter is only $2.3 billion, and the profit is only $700 million.

The 1-year-old Kufeng, whose revenue is about the same as that of the 20-year-old Qualcomm, is shocking......

Perhaps, the cool wind of the future will be another apple?

Under the guidance of Richard Lin, the genius who has captured the world's attention, who knows where the Cool Wind will go in the future?

Evan spoke: "Interesting, Rich, why don't you tell me more about it?" Interest has been shown in the words.

Lin Feng smiled and continued to pour tea for the two.

"Very simply, the current valuation of Xmobile is 40 billion US dollars, and the two sides will issue new shares at a ratio of no more than 15% in the form of 0.5 shares of Xmobile for 1 Qualcomm stock, and the way of exchange transactions will realize each other's cross-shareholdings, so that they can form a closer alliance and help establish a common dominant position in the future era of smart phones and mobile Internet. Of course, Xmobile also hopes to get Qualcomm's patent authorization and preferential policies. ”

Evan pondered for a moment before he said, "This is a very interesting idea, I need to think about it and listen to the rest of the board." ”

Lin Feng laughed and said: "Of course, doctor, this is just my proposal, it's rare to come to the capital, I hope you have a good time!" Tea ......"
