Back To 1995

   Chapter 856

  Before the introduction of smartphones, what Alcatel phones could do was to tinker, increase the screen resolution, make the phone more powerful, and the camera function would become more and more powerful.

   After a few years, after America Telecom tinkered with 3G communications, Alcatel mobile phones can try to launch smart phones.

   Whether it is the era of feature phones or the era of smartphones, screens, chips, and cameras are one of the main selling points of a mobile phone!

For example, in the era of smart phones, Sony, Sharp and other manufacturers have been obscure. Sony can earn more than 10 billion yuan every year by selling mobile phone cameras, accounting for more than a quarter of the annual revenue. It is conceivable that this industry has How profitable.

As for Sharp, I have sold myself many times before and after, but the brand still does not fall down. It is not about feelings, but on the panel. It really has unparalleled technology in the world, but it is too arrogant and slow to respond. I didn't use it myself, nor did it use it for others, and finally I was killed by myself.

   After Alcatel Mobile launched the P3 mobile phone, it is no surprise that the last shortcoming of the feature phone era will also be made up, and the mobile phone industry has officially entered the era of taking pictures.

  Companies that can come up with cameras, such as Sony, Sharp and other manufacturers, will definitely become a sweet pastry, and Zeiss and Leica with high-end camera technology, as long as they can put down the shelf they are holding, they will definitely not worry about orders!

   At that time, Alcatel phones without camera technology will be controlled by others. Even if they are not charged by Zeiss and purchased from Sony, they will be slaughtered, but they have to buy this thing.

Song Yang simply decided to let Alcatel mobile phones, Leica and Zeiss, two major companies representing high-end camera technology, be merged together, locking the threshold for other manufacturers to enter the high-end camera industry. In the future, except for Alcatel mobile phones, the rest Mobile phone manufacturers, if they want to launch high-end mobile phone cameras, have to purchase from Alcatel mobile phones.

   At that time, Alcatel mobile phones can also allow Zeiss and Leica to occupy the mid-to-high-end market of mobile phone cameras, and will never let Sony, LG, etc. make a fortune by relying on cameras, and it would be good to drink the soup left over from Alcatel mobile phones!

Ertian has not yet adapted to the status of the head of the giant, and his life is a bit cunning. Alcatel mobile phones have been smooth in recent years, and there have been no large-scale acquisition plans. Suddenly, he wants to acquire a company in the optical lens industry. The two hegemons, Zeiss and Leica, Ertien rubbed his hands together, feeling both excited and worried for a while.

   "Zeiss and Leica have good revenue now, especially Zeiss, in addition to traditional lenses, microscopes and other products, it has also entered the semiconductor, medical and other industries, and life is very good!

  Although Leica is not as good as Zeiss, it still occupies the field of high-end cameras. It is known as the Rolls-Royce of cameras. If you want to acquire it, I am afraid it will cost a lot of money! "

  The century-old Kodak, known as the film boss, is still alive and well. There are nearly 100,000 employees worldwide. When the life of Kodak can’t go on, the camera companies like Leica will probably have to tighten their belts to live.

   "It is definitely worthwhile to acquire Zeiss and Leica now. In the future, maybe, the camera and video functions of Alcatel mobile phones can kill traditional cameras and camcorders, including Kodak!"

   After eating the last mouthful of roasted meat, Song Yang took a sip of wine and said to Ertian.

"If one day, mobile phones can take photos that are comparable to or even better than SLR cameras, can record long videos, and have flash, autofocus, anti-shake functions that cameras do not have, and even support background scene modes, filter Mirror, continuous shooting, motion capture, AR virtual functions, and more.

   And mobile phones can modify, edit, crop pictures and videos, do you think that future users will choose mobile phones or ordinary cameras? ! "

  Erthien swallowed his saliva unconsciously. He felt that the camera and camera functions Song Yang had mentioned seemed a bit far-fetched.

But I couldn't help but be moved. If these things can do it, let's not mention other light energy of mobile phones. Just a camera function is enough for Alcatel mobile phones to play for more than ten years. Introducing dozens of new models, isn't it too much? !

   "This P3 conference, you can use the phone that beat Kodak to name the conference!"

   Anyway, it's a gimmick, it's better to come with a big wave, directly make the Alcatel P3 mobile phone a Kodak killer, promote the future Alcatel mobile phone, and defeat Kodak across the border!

The words are not astonishing and they will die endlessly. When the behemoth Kodak falls, it is estimated that Alcatel mobile phones will become more famous. As for Kodak's reaction, it is just a scolding battle. Anyway, Alcatel mobile phones are indispensable. Meat…

"These camera functions must be achieved in future Alcatel mobile phones. After the acquisition of Leica and Zeiss, the two businesses can be integrated to establish a mobile phone camera research and development department, establish the world's top imaging laboratory, and develop mobile phones for Alcatel mobile phones. Cameras, cell phone camera systems, and more!”

Song Yang explained to Ertien, anyway, Song Yang put forward the request, and he should see the results every year. If Ertien can't do it, then Song Yang doesn't mind letting Ertien retire early. Get someone who can do it!

"Mobile phone screens, chips, operating systems, camera systems, and communication technology will all become the key to affecting mobile phones in the future. Mobile phones will no longer be the era of only making calls and sending text messages. If Alcatel mobile phones do not want to be abandoned by the times, they will be Other mobile phone manufacturers have surpassed, these must be achieved!"

Before Eltien left the villa, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. The excitement of launching a new generation of P3 mobile phones had disappeared without a trace. He suddenly found that his position as the president of Alcatel Mobile did not seem to exist. So stable.

  Thinking of Song Yang's requirements, Ertian had a headache, but he was a little excited. Song Yang's requirements were both difficult and direction for the R&D department of Alcatel Mobile!

   For technology companies, the most fearful thing is not trouble. The day when technical problems are finally overcome, the most fearful thing is that they have no direction, they are like headless flies, and they don’t know which direction to develop.

Like the fruit machine of later generations, it is a dominant player in the smartphone industry, but it is even more anxious. After carrying forward the set of things that Qiao Gang master has developed, he does not know which direction to develop. If If you really compare it, you will find that the fruit machine has been around for many years, and nothing new has been created!

What is even more frustrating is that the fruit machine turned out to be the beacon of other mobile phone manufacturers. They are all crossing the river by touching the fruit machine. The fruit machine created a notch and instantly became the trend of the mobile phone industry. As for whether users like this set, That's not what they need to worry about...

   After Song Yang returned to San Jose, he did not appear in the mainstream media again. No matter how various financial, technological, Internet and financial media reported Song Yang's worth, Song Yang did not respond.

And many companies such as ebay, Fortis, Yeadex, Sohu, etc. have announced their listing on Nasdaq. Other companies are also sprinting to go public, and the entire Internet is boiling.

In the first half of this year alone, there are dozens or hundreds of Internet companies all over the world logging on to Nasdaq, and there are even more groups in China to log on to Nasdaq. Song Yang doesn't know where it came from. many internet companies.

As for the performance of Internet companies, except for the Federal Securities News, which was mentioned briefly, the rest of the media, whether they did not see it or were selectively blind, did not report it. Which Internet company has been established for less than a year and a half is listed, which company's stock price has hit a record high, and Wall Street analysts have found another company, which has been identified as the next ICQ, etc.!

   In addition, in two or three months, the election for the leadership of America will begin, and the entire American media is eagerly waiting for the arrival of this media carnival.

  The members of Congress from the states of America and Capitol Hill are also focusing their attention on the general election at this time. As for the Internet, they have no energy to pay attention to it at all. What they want is only the US knife and votes of the Internet industry!

  Song Yang was waiting, constantly cashing out the equity in his hands. He was as patient as Song Yang, as well as Paulson from Goldman Sachs, Edison from Deutsche Bank, and others, all secretly preparing.

The mobile phone industry is waiting for the annual launch of Alcatel mobile phones, which has become one of the annual events of the mobile phone industry without knowing it. At that time, the German media suddenly spread the news that there was a big money owner who launched an acquisition to Zeiss, and the big money owner behind it was Alcatel mobile phone!
