Chapter 202: A Rare Confidant (Part II)
Internet + Mazon, to revolutionize the life of the bookstore; Internet + news, OL, acquired the Times Group, Internet + AHOO, is actually valued at hundreds of billions of dollars. It seems that overnight, the real economy is no longer needed in this era, and everyone can create dazzling wealth by sitting in front of the computer and typing on the keyboard.
This era is too impetuous, everyone wants to take shortcuts, and they all want to become the second Yang Zhiyuan and Jeff Bezos overnight.
The result?
The NASDAQ exchange is full of mourning, the cold wind is cold in Silicon Valley, and a large number of Internet listed companies are facing bankruptcy and liquidation.
Faced with Mr. Owen's question, Li Jiaming pondered for a moment and said: "I think that the Internet is just a tool, a tool to make our life, communication, and learning more convenient, and it will not produce wealth in itself, but only participate in the redistribution of wealth." Detached from the real economy, the Internet is nothing more than a castle on the beach. β
This is a clichΓ©, and it has been overused by countless scholars during this time, so Li Jiaming continued: "But we can't use this as an excuse to reject the Internet, its biggest effect is threefold:
The first is decentralization, since the era of traditional media, there are key nodes in the circulation of information, television, radio, newspapers and magazines, the key nodes of information are very clear, and the control is also very convenient. The disadvantages are: the nodes of traditional information circulation are broken and close to extinction, the amount of advertising and information invested by enterprises in traditional media is greatly reduced, and the control of Internet communication nodes is more difficult and the cost is increased. On the positive side, if enterprises can adapt to the changes of the Internet and establish their own information circulation nodes and brands, then the efficiency of information dissemination will be significantly improved, and the cost will be greatly reduced.
Second, it is fast and accurate, the fragmented information dissemination of the Internet has basically suppressed the communication path of traditional media, so it is logical to assume the responsibility of content dissemination of the original media, and in the face of the limitations of new communication nodes on timeliness and capacity, the rapid update and iteration of information has become the only solution. Corresponding to the rapid update of information, the rapid update of products has also become another focus to support information dissemination, which puts forward higher requirements for the innovation and R&D capabilities of enterprises.
The third is the decentralization and rapid dissemination of information, which brings about the side effect of the lack of credibility, since everyone has the right to speak, everyone can spread their views in a 7x24 mode. Whoever says it is more reasonable and who is more convincing is a very troublesome thing for users, but for enterprises, this is a good example of communication.
If you can establish an effective emotional brand with enough highlights to cater to the needs of users in terms of emotions and values, then even if there are many controversies, it can still have a strong enough communication effect. In other words, as long as the product is not outrageously bad and there are some packaging features that touch the user's emotions, there must be a group of people who agree with these values and then identify with your product to keep up. β
Li Jiaming spoke a lot of things freely, and suddenly found that he had inadvertently written a paper with his mouth, and if these ideas were analyzed and deduced with detailed data, it would be a good paper.
Owen, who was listening attentively, was the same, he wanted to know Li Jiaming's thoughts on the relationship between the Internet and the real world, of course, he wanted to know the meaning of this Internet upstart, and wanted to know how determined the other party was to enter the real realm, but more because he judged that with the development of technology, mobile phones might be able to replace computers and become the terminal of the Internet. Just as the personal computer replaced the mainframe twenty years ago, perhaps as technology evolves, the mobile phone will also disrupt the computer's position in the Internet wave.
But it takes money, it takes allies, it takes unpredictable money, a lot of allies, to drive this change. If an Internet upstart like Li Jiaming can join in, perhaps the sales of iPods alone can give Qualcomm a breather.
Unexpectedly, this young Chinese man is so talented and understands the essence of the Internet so thoroughly. It's no wonder that HH is buying patents everywhere, and most of them are patents that are impossible to use on an iPod.
After being silent for a long time, Owen in the year of the sixtieth year said with mixed emotions: "Ming, you are a genius!"
Talented?
No, this is just a summary after experiencing the baptism of the Internet wave, Li Jiaming is rarely embarrassed to say: "Mr. Owen, I just refined the phenomenon, and then analyzed and deduced it. β
"No, to be able to see the truth beneath the surface is genius. β
Mr. Owen, who was very gentlemanly, made a gesture of invitation, and motioned for Li Jiaming to follow him out of the grove and into the bright sunshine.
"Ming, I think the mobile phone will become the next generation of Internet terminals, although it is difficult to completely replace the PC, but it can subvert its hegemony in many ways. β
Genius! This is true genius!
When it comes to business cooperation, Li Jiaming can't express his admiration, but he sincerely agrees: "Mr. Owen, I also judge so, so our HH company is ready to devote itself to the field of digital mobile phones, and completely send analog mobile phones to the garbage heap of history." To achieve this ideal, we must need more advanced technology, and your company's CDMA technology is more advanced than GSM technology, so we want to cooperate with your company.
Believe me, Mr. Owen, this is a digital revolution and we will be heroes!"
"Technology-driven content?"
Li Jiaming under the sun was full of energy, as if he was plated with a layer of golden light, and said firmly: "No, drive everything!"
It's good to be young, Owen looked at Li Jiaming's young face, sighed enviously, and suddenly said, "Ming, do you know what is the most difficult thing for us?"
The most difficult thing is not the capital, but the battle for industry standards, Europe has established GSM as the industry standard, and Huaguo Mobile, which has a first-mover advantage, has adopted the GSM standard, and finally only North America, Japan and South Korea remain. What's worse is that the United States itself is not the only one in CDMA, on the contrary, it is still being pressed and beaten by the GSM. If you want to establish CDMA as the industry standard in the future, and want to grab food from Texas Instruments, Freescale, ADI, and Broadcom, in addition to being technologically advanced enough, you have to let mainstream mobile phone manufacturers sell it, and telecom operators also sell it, which is tantamount to seeking skin with a group of tigers.
"So, you need to develop new chips, so you need us. Nokia and Motorola are all old, and they should have been removed from the throne a long time ago! Your strategy of deciding to enter the field of telecom operations is correct, and only by proving the superiority of CDMA in two or three big cities can you force those damned vested interests to abandon the backward GSM!"
Bosom friend!
Owen, who is forty years older than Li Jiaming, also has the intention of being a confidant, but mocks: "You are so confident?"
This is no longer a discussion of opinions, but a beginning to talk about cooperation, Li Jiaming said without modesty: "Imperial League, Sony didn't let us completely pull down from the throne of listening to the voice? A few days ago, Sony was still in contact with us, hoping to get our patent authorization. I can tell you unequivocally that as long as new chips come out, the patents they buy are a generation behind us. β
After a moment of silence, Owen revealed his so-called Qualcomm tyrant side, and said undoubtedly: "Ming, we can transfer the full set of technology and patents of the newly developed QC6522 chip to you for a price of 600 million US dollars, which is enough for you to be ahead of all competitors in the field of digital music players! After we establish a CDMA operating system in the San Francisco area, we can sell your new mobile phones without commission." β
Lao Tzu would rather spend more money than accept such blackmail!
Owen's face changed, from a gentle scholar to the chairman of a large company, Li Jiaming let his momentum press, and also revealed the other side of toughness.
"No, we're buying a 12% stake in your company for $3 billion in cash and inviting us to join the board of directors! β
There are really geniuses in the world, and they can have such a temperament at such a young age, Owen is very jealous of the youth of others, but mocks: "Young man, we can't agree." β
In the face of this old man's mockery, Li Jiaming also shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Is it? When the market opened this morning, Qualcomm's market value was less than 24 billion, and if we switch to Texas Instruments' chips next year, I don't know if your company can survive until the day when it wins comprehensively." β
How much business can a few million chips have? But such a small business is related to the stock market's confidence in Qualcomm.
"You won't, our chips have the lowest energy consumption ratio!"
"Really, good luck to you. β
The two went from talking happily to being tense, and Li Jiaming did not fall behind at all, and looked at Nakamura who was following the two of them. Yo Xi, this is the real leader! Only such a leader is worthy of his own follow.
