Chapter 1038: The Red-eyed Samsung
The subprime mortgage crisis is accumulating, and there are dark currents surging everywhere in the United States.
BUT SUCH AN ECONOMIC CRISIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH JOE'S IPHONE.
THROUGHOUT MAY, APPLE RELEASED TWO CONSECUTIVE IPHONES, A TOTAL OF 3 MILLION UNITS, AND THEY WERE DIGESTED BY THE CRAZY AMERICAN PEOPLE WITHOUT EVEN MAKING A SPLASH.
With the DreamPad in front of you, the iPhone can no longer be an unparalleled existence, but it is still the best phone on the shijie today.
Good operating system, perfect user experience, and incomparably smooth entertainment functions...... IN THE HEARTS OF MOBILE PHONE USERS, THE IPHONE HAS BEEN AS IT ADVERTISES, "MORE THAN JUST A MOBILE PHONE".
As Xiao Qi said before, DreamPad will never become the hegemony of the IPHONE, because the suitable people of the iPhone far exceed the DreamPad.
In fact, there are more than 200 million people in the United States who use mobile phones out of a population of 300 million, and even every elderly person can wear a mobile phone, but it is impossible for every elderly person to play DreamPad, right?
Therefore, the success of the iPhone is not enviable, rather than having this idle effort, it is better to spend your own DreamStars to do a good job and compete with the iPhone in the American market.
UNLIKE IN THE PREVIOUS LIFE, THIS TIME APPLE REALLY DIDN'T USE THE TRICK OF HUNGER MARKETING, AND QIAO COULDN'T WAIT TO TAKE OUT 10 MILLION IPHONES IN ONE GO TO MEET THE CONSTANT HUNGER AND THIRST NEEDS OF THE MARKET.
BUT THE FACT IS THAT IT WILL TAKE TIME TO EXPAND THE PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF THE RED SEA FACTORY, AND IT CAN SQUEEZE OUT 3 MILLION IPHONES IN TWO MONTHS, WHICH IS THE LIMIT OF GUO TAIMING.
So, the same thing happened in the previous life.
In all shijie places except the United States. THE PRICE OF IPHONE CONTINUES TO SOAR, AND THE KIND-HEARTED ONES ONLY INCREASE THE PRICE BY 1000-2000 TO SELL, AND THE BLACK-HEARTED ONES DIRECTLY DOUBLE THEIR SHOTS.
Love to buy or not, anyway, some people want it, and they are definitely rushing to ask for it.
Even the people around Xiao Qi were attacked by this violent storm. Relatives and friends of relatives and friends begged to give them another one, just one.
BUT THE 1000 IPHONES THAT I BOUGHT BACK AT THE BEGINNING HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY DISTRIBUTED TO EVERYONE, AND XIAO QI HAS NONE OF THEM IN HIS HAND, SO HE CAN ONLY SMILE BITTERLY AND SAY SORRY.
Seeing that the iPhone is so moving, and even a strong fashion trend has formed in society, the engineers in the DreamStars department are very excited. Ambitious again.
Only they know that the DreamStars designed by the little boss is definitely a classic that is not lost to the IPHONE, and once the research and development is completed, such a terrifying sales boom will definitely appear on DreamStars!
The engineers of the fairy company are a little better, after all, there are still many processes to be completed in the production of DreamStars, and they are too busy to be busy.
Even more anxious than them is Samsung.
With Lee Kun-hee's incomparably keen advanced awareness. Samsung was the first to start the development of smartphones on Apple's heels of the same day.
Motorola and Nokia, which are as powerful as it, are because the institutions are too large and overstaffed. And I am reluctant to give up the high market share and profits of ordinary mobile phones now, so I have not made any moves for a long time, and I am ready to wait and see.
SAMSUNG IS DIFFERENT, LEE KUNXI'S WILL IS THEIR GOAL, BUT LEE KUNXI IS A VERY WISE LEADER, SO SAMSUNG AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE IPHONE. So they threw themselves into the field of smartphones - in fact, after the DreamPad came out, they also started to work on smart tablets.
None of Shijie's mobile phone manufacturers can compare with Samsung.
Because Samsung is the only group company that has the entire industrial chain of mobile phone hardware, the entire industrial chain of hardware is that is. They can make mobile phones without relying on any outside companies, just with Samsung's internal branches.
Based on this alone, Nokia and Motorola are weak.
Because they need to make a good model first, slowly match it in the laboratory, and then make suitable companies at home and abroad to try to produce parts, and then put it away to match, if it doesn't work, they have to send it back and do it again...... Between the ups and downs, it goes without saying that the energy is not to mention, and the time is really wasted.
Samsung is different, directly all the companies are in the small country of South Korea, can communicate in real time every day, can modify the data at any time, and even molds and samples can be done by subordinate companies, and then take them to the laboratory to assemble together, and then develop them again.
Liliang is the most powerful when everyone gathers it.
Samsung's ability to combine so many resources is also an important factor in their current and future victories.
I am afraid that this is also one of the important reasons why the transformation speed of Weishenme Nokia and Motorola is far less than that of Samsung, and Zuihou ended up being acquired miserably.
SEEING THAT THE IPHONE IS SO GOLD-ABSORBING, BUT IT IS SO UNABLE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE MARKET, SAMSUNG, WHICH IS ALREADY IN THE EXPERIMENTAL STAGE, CAN'T WAIT TO DEVELOP A SMARTPHONE TODAY AND COMPETE WITH THE IPHONE.
You know, Samsung Electronics' production capacity is terrifying, compared to Apple, a company that does not have its own factory, Samsung's factory is fully operational, 20 million units a month is absolutely not a problem - in the future, Samsung's annual sales will reach 400 million units, and the production volume will reach a terrifying 500 million!
Lee Kun-hee personally ordered that smartphones should be the most important task of Samsung Group this year, and excellent smartphones must be made as soon as possible.
SPEAKING OF WHICH, SAMSUNG CAN HAVE THIS AMBITION TO COMPETE WITH THE IPHONE, AND XIAO QI, THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THE SCENES, IS INDISPENSABLE.
In January, when Li Jianxi led the team to negotiate, Samsung Electronics bought 130 mobile phone appearance and function patents from Xiao Qi's hands, and these patents quickly allowed Samsung to reduce the process of detours, and walked on the right path from the beginning, at least 3 months earlier the launch of smartphones.
If it weren't for the fact that Samsung would have been able to produce the first batch of smartphones in June, it would have been honed millions of times in order to perform better.
BESIDES, SAMSUNG STILL HAS A HURDLE THAT CAN'T BE OVERCOME - THEY CAN'T COPY ALL THE CLASSIC DESIGNS OF THE IPHONE, EVEN IF THESE PATENTS ARE NOT APPLE'S, BUT FAIRY COMPANY AUTHORIZED APPLE TO USE.
Li Jianxi has called Xiao Qi more than once, hoping to get some core patents, but Xiao Qi refused without exception.
Samsung is very powerful, yes, Samsung is an important partner of Xiao Qi, but it is also an important competitor of Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi will never directly fund Samsung's growth because of friendship.
It is also because of this that Samsung has to vigorously increase the number of researchers, in order to bypass the patents of Apple and Fairy Company - this is commonly known as the patent barrier, which is a special weapon to fight competitors, and it is also a magical hand used by Qiao Gang in the previous life.
It's like after Samsung has acquired a 5% stake in the app store, it still needs to pay Shaw Qi billions of dollars worth of parts and royalties for the phones and tablets sold in order to secure the permanent right to use the app store according to the previous agreement.
Friendship belongs to friendship, and business belongs to business.
This very cold reality was taught to others by Li Jianxi in his previous life, and now Xiao Qi is still returning it to him.
It is undoubtedly a luxury to have a relationship with a business partner and a competitor, not to mention that Lee Kun-hee is notoriously ruthless, and when he uses you, he is definitely a kind old man, once you have no use value, he is a ferocious beast, swallowing or crushing your company in one bite.
As a result, the launch of Samsung's first mobile phone was delayed by Xiao Qi for two months.
One gain and one loss, the various battles of wits and courage contained in it are really not for others. (To be continued......)
