Age of Dreams

Vol 2 Chapter 2317: Informal discussion (part 2)

Xiao Qi's large-scale acquisition of high-end camera production in Japan has been a hot topic in the smart electronics industry in recent days.

Faced with the actions of this talented young man from the world's number one consumer electronics company, everyone has never dared to take it lightly. Many people are analyzing Xiao Qi's intentions.

Now Li Jianxi asked suddenly, which proved that he had noticed some of the mysteries, so he came to listen to Xiao Qi's tone.

In the previous life, the fight between the camp and the Android camp was so terrible.

But in fact, in terms of mobile phone operating programs, that is, software, after 2013, with more and more investment and more and more experience, basically the Android system can reach the level of 80%.

Coupled with the optimization of the Android system by the mobile phone manufacturers, such as Xiaomi, Huawei, Meizu, Samsung, etc., their own programs developed based on the Android system are generally sufficient.

So in terms of software, the gap is not very big.

So everyone's competition has gradually become a variety of hardware facilities.

If you use a 5.5-inch LCD screen, I will use a 6-inch LCD screen.

You 12 million pixels, I am 18 million pixels.

Your 285 screen pixel density, mine is 321 screen pixel density.

If you run 2g of RAM, I'm 36 is 3g.

Your dual-core cpu, I am a 4-core cpu.

...

For a time, the major manufacturers are inextricably beaten, and they are intensifying their advantages in visible places.

Although the competition in many aspects is only a literal and appellation difference, they and the people who buy mobile phones are still happy.

But that was in 2013!

Now in 2009. Everyone still thinks that more work must be done on the operating system in order to get a better user experience.

After all, if you look at the fairy system of the fairy company and the system of the apple company, it is different from other companies and fully meets people's expectations for smart phones.

Of course, it does not mean that hardware equipment is not valued, but most of the hardware equipment on the market now. For example, LCD screens, cameras, CPUs, etc., have not opened the gap. In people's perception, except for the fairy company, the difference is not very big-even Apple's LCD screen is similar to Samsung's.

Li Jianxi was able to see the mystery hidden in Xiao Qi's large-scale purchase, and this is what makes him different.

After Xiao Qi laughed, he said: "As for the hardware and software dispute, I don't think this matter has much to do with Samsung, right? Anyway, you have the entire industrial chain and you don't need to ask others. Just use it. It’s good to do your own products carefully."

"It's not the same." Li Jianxi shook his head, "Although Samsung also has the entire industry chain, they are now more concerned about how to make the bada system better, catch up with or even surpass the fairy system and system. In terms of hardware, there are many Some people think that Samsung's hardware is excellent enough, as long as this trend continues to develop.

I originally thought so, but I saw Qi Shao you spend a huge amount of US$10 billion to control high-end cameras. It reminds me of your previous monopoly on dram and nand flash memory chips... Now many manufacturers are afraid to enter the market because they can't find good dram and nand flash memory chips. "

Xiao Qi smiled upon hearing this. Very happy.

What he learned was the trick used by Joe’s gang leader. From the very beginning, Cook was ordered to monopolize many high-end components, one of which is the flash memory chip, which led to other companies in the next few years. And run the chip above. Not as easy to use as Apple.

In this life, Xiao Qi used this trick in advance from Dreampad and bought a large number of flash memory chips in his hands. In addition to his own spares, he also restricted the development of others.

You make sophisticated smartphones and tablets. The two types of flash memory chips, dram and nand, are absolutely indispensable, and the precision is definitely more demanding than desktop computers and laptops. Therefore, when looking to make smart phones, you must take this into consideration.

But the problem is that Xiao Qi has already taken the lead in taking the production capacity of several major manufacturers, such as Bilda, Toshiba, LG, and Samsung, firmly in his hands. For a while, the balances of these manufacturers are running low. With the rush of smartphone and tablet manufacturers who have already entered the market, they may have to wait a year or a half if they want to actively expand production and supply new shares to new manufacturers.

Since Xiao Qi launched Dreampad in 2007, other manufacturers that have joined in have also tacitly controlled the production of DRAM and NAND flash memory chips in their hands, and try not to let those electronic manufacturers who have not entered the market get it.

Because of this, many electronic manufacturers that have reacted, such as LG, Alcatel, BlackBerry, mobile phone manufacturers in China, and domestic manufacturers in other second and third-tier countries have no way to step in.

However, more than two years have passed. Many flash memory chip manufacturers that have seen business opportunities have gradually increased the development and production of flash memory chips used in smartphones and tablets. I think this year, at least ten. Mobile phone manufacturers will join the smart electronics camp.

But being able to drag his competitors for two years, Xiao Qi can already be regarded as very successful.

While many people are complaining about Xiao Qi's practice, many people in the same industry are also admiring Xiao Qi's experience and sophistication at the same time.

Li Jianxi is one of them. Together with Xiao Qi, he almost monopolizes half of the flash memory chips of South Korea's Hynix, which is the world's top three in the flash memory chip industry, except for what he produces-the remaining half is taken away by Apple.

Now Xiao Qi's actions on the high-end camera immediately reminded him of the previous flash memory chips, and thus another round of Xiao Qi's plan to restrict stockpiling, and thought of how much Xiao Qi attaches importance to hardware.

"So now, what do you think, President Li?" Xiao Qi asked him.

"Qi Shao I admire your vision very much." Li Jianxi said without hesitation, "In addition to Samsung, I will also take half the production capacity of LG's high-end cameras. I don't know if Qi Shao is interested in taking the rest. half?"

The several major consortia in South Korea have almost taken the same path.

Like Samsung, LG strives to produce all parts of its products by itself, so they have little demand for external parts and are less restricted by others.

"LG also wants to make smart phones? They are willing to give you high-end cameras? As far as I know. Their own production capacity is very tight." Xiao Qi said.

"They will expand their hardware parts production line aggressively. The camera is also a big aspect, about 300 million sets a year, but it hasn't been announced yet." Li Jianxi said solemnly, "Samsung and If the Fairy Company can win half of them, although the quality may not be as good as Samsung's, it is also a mid-to-high-end product in the entire market, which will help us control the market."

Xiao Qi asked. "But my needs are so many. The cameras customized by LG and Ricoh before can be used for production expansion. There will be more than 150 million sets a year. Where can I produce so many mobile phones? "

"Even if we don't use it for ourselves, we can sell it to other mobile phone manufacturers after one or two years. Anyway, there are always people who are willing to make low-end mobile phones." Li Jianxi spread his hands. "Maybe we can make some more money then."

"Hehe, President Li really knows how to calculate." Xiao Qi smiled and compared his thumbs. "In this case, I will leave the negotiation to Chairman Li. The Fairy Company is willing to purchase 150 million sets of LG's high-end cameras every year for a period of five years."

Not to mention making money, this kind of thing can be done even if you lose money.

Let your mobile phones and tablets lead a year or two. This is not a monopoly that money can buy.

"It's a pleasure to talk to Qi Shao for business." Li Jianxi drank the coffee and said with satisfaction: "After we have completed the purchase of this high-end camera, if we want to come to other companies and want to enter, then we can only have two or three years. It's turning around in the low-end. Even if they buy some high-end cameras, they can't form a large-scale mass production. This is our opportunity to stabilize our market leadership!"

"After our deal is concluded, President Li might as well let this news go." Xiao Qi said knowingly, "I have signed the high-end camera purchase list one after another, and they will want to understand if they want to."

"it is good!"

Li Jianxi nodded, Xiao Qi's words were exactly what he wanted. Don't look at the Android camp and the Microsoft camp always fighting against each other. Everyone is constantly fighting and fighting for market share, but in this respect ~www.readwn.com~ Everyone's interests are completely the same.

Even if the market is going to be big, it should be their first movers to make it bigger and enjoy it. On what basis are new entrants to enjoy it?

It's also a pity that Li Jianxi didn't make up his mind before. Otherwise, he bought the high-end camera from LG before Xiao Qi. Wouldn't it mean that even the fairy company can only be controlled by Samsung?

However, after all, he is not as good as Xiao Qi's vision. The talented teenager opposite has a very sharp grasp of the entire smart electronics market. It is precisely because of the high-end cameras that Xiao Qi purchased that Li Jianxi can be determined and learn from Xiao Qi. Thoughts!

This is the advantage of being one step ahead! (To be continued...)

ps: Although I don't like Koreans, I am full of admiration for Samsung and Li Jianxi, admiring them for being able to create such a vast world. Don't think that only our companies are discriminated against and embarrassed abroad. Samsung is the same, and suffers more sufferings. Look at the lawsuits on fines, sales bans, patent infringements, etc. every year! Many state-owned companies and private companies immediately retreated and came back to complain about this and the other... But Samsung encountered difficulties, able to withstand all kinds of pressures, persist in moving forward, and develop to the point where we are today. That is what we need. I learned it.
