Fight To the Third Generation

The wafer foundry has no shadow.

Even if Su Yehao wanted to discuss cooperation with Qualcomm, he couldn't come up with a specific plan and price. It's a little early to talk about it now.

Look at Qualcomm's mobile phone production business.

Gray's meaning is quite clear, as long as Qualcomm can gain other benefits, the price of packaging and transferring the mobile phone business can be reduced.

Although these Qualcomm executives have long cared about the mobile phone business, they do not want to continue to invest money in it.

But when the real money goes out, it must be sold at a good price so that the board of directors and shareholders can be explained, so as not to make the P mobile phone project seem too unsuccessful.

To ask how much the price can be reduced, it depends on what kind of bargaining chips Su Yehao can come up with. If he agrees to purchase a billion-dollar mobile phone chip, it is estimated that there will be no problem giving it away for nothing.

At present, Qualcomm has divested other businesses, focusing on the research and development of communication technology and the research of semiconductor chips.

If Su Yehao can purchase chips in large quantities and produce mobile phones to pay royalties, it will undoubtedly be a huge benefit to Qualcomm, and it will have the opportunity to stimulate the stock price to a new high.

The specific cooperation plan needs to be further studied.

Therefore, today was only a preliminary contact, and Su Yehao quickly excused that something was wrong and took people away from Qualcomm.

Before leaving, he also took the initiative to apply and visited the new generation mobile communication system solution in the laboratory, which is the so-called 3.

The mainland is expected to invest more than 100 billion yuan in infrastructure this year in the field of communications. Since the price reduction of the Internet this year, the growth rate of netizens has been quite fast, and it is expected to achieve an increase of 300 in the whole year.

Although we have to spend money to buy solutions, at least in the construction of 3 and broadband, China is the first time to stand on the same starting line with Europe and the United States.

It is definitely super good news for companies such as Su Yehao, Yinhai, etc. The yellow diamond computer business and mobile phone business that are preparing for production are also

It's hard to negotiate such a big business.

Su Yehao asked people to hurry up to evaluate the gaps in the mainland and global mobile phone markets in the next few years, and prepare to make a new acquisition plan as soon as possible. Tonight, he will send the information to Gray of Qualcomm, and take it to the board of directors for discussion tomorrow.

The acquisition of one or two hundred million dollars is nothing more than a big deal, or a small one.

Even if he really pays 200 million US dollars, it will not hurt Su Yehao in the long run. The inventory of more than 200,000 P mobile phones and the parts that have not been assembled, as well as the complete set of production equipment, is worth about 90 million US dollars.

He originally wanted to strip the inventory of P mobile phones from the acquisition, but it was a pity that Gray and the others did not agree.

Mr. Zhang Rujing accompanied the inspection before.

On the way back, he continued to sit with Su Yehao, which made many people envious, and also realized that Su Yehao attached great importance to the wafer foundry.

now.

Zhang Rujing said: "Actually, Qualcomm's mobile phones are quite advanced, but the shape is a bit ugly. If you get Qualcomm's integrated baseband chip foundry orders, and then go to other companies to find business, maybe the wafer foundry will lose less in the initial stage. money."

Su Yehao smiled and said:

"Just a small loss? When 3 becomes popular, the integrated baseband chips of all Netcoms will probably become the mainstream. By then, a Qualcomm will be enough to support our profitability. Like I said yesterday, Uncle Zhang, you are responsible for the wafer foundry. Once it's done, I'll figure out the rest."

"Well, the scale is too small to make money from computer chip orders."

Zhang Rujing took out the p prototype sent by Qualcomm, and then said: "The mobile phone can receive emails, the speed of technology development is really fast, maybe as you said, a new market for integrated baseband chips can really be born, the goal of 3 is not Is it the development of the mobile network? I always thought that notebook computers would benefit, and the opportunity of handheld computer-style mobile phones seems to be coming soon, and it seems that it is worth studying.”

Hearing these words, Su Yehao laughed without saying a word, changed the subject and said:

"My initial goal was to build a few top-level chip production factories, and then we can attack and retreat. , and also need to avoid arousing the hostility of major customers, greedy and chew more."

"Well, that makes sense"

Zhang Rujing's eyes are weird, thinking that he has clearly set foot in many fields, but he knows that he can't chew too much.

Take them back to the hotel first.

Su Yehao was about to take Yin Liuli to the aquarium in Monterey Bay.

Accidentally received a call from Yang Zhiyuan himself. The other party said that he knew that he had come to Silicon Valley and invited Su Yehao to play cards in the cigar salon.

After more than half a year of development, the number of registered users of Google has exceeded 4 million, and the number of daily visits has exceeded 35 million.

When Yahoo was obsessed with making money by posting advertisements on its website, it focused on the search service itself, pushed the results closest to users' needs through a patented algorithm, and effectively avoided the negative effects of many spam websites.

Overall, Google's search engine has good reviews.

If it wasn't for Yahoo's great reputation, it attracted a group of users in advance, so that this group of people had become accustomed to using Yahoo, and Su Yehao didn't take special care of Google through the Kaomoji Group in order to avoid negative effects, its performance would probably be better than it is now.

As one of Yahoo's major shareholders, but abruptly using Google to steal Yahoo's market share in the field of search engines, Su Yehao himself felt a little bit sorry for Yang Zhiyuan, so he was a little cautious when he received the call.

It is said that favors belong to favors, and business belongs to business, but this kind of thing cannot be easily distinguished.

After hanging up the phone, Su Yehao said with a headache:

"It shouldn't be a case of guilt. Although the number of new netizens makes the data look good and Yahoo's market share drops by three points, it is the key to worrying investors. I really don't understand why these people always like to party, Only a fool would sit next to a competitor and share a good idea, so after meeting each other, are they cheeky and pretend that nothing happened?"

Yin Liuli didn't know the details, so she only told: "I'll go to the aquarium next time, it doesn't matter. If you have something to do, just go."

"Come with me, they are all businessmen from Silicon Valley, playing cards and drinking."

Su Yehao sighed and added, "It's a blessing, not a disaster. It's a disaster that can't be avoided. Last time, I refused to come to his house as a guest, and it seems too petty to say no. Let's talk to him face to face."

Yin Liuli, who didn't know why, was slightly at a loss when she heard the words.

On the way to the cigar salon, she learned about the cause and effect, and she just felt that it didn't matter. After all, she didn't steal or rob, it was just a fair competition.

Came to a villa in Menlo Patu.

In broad daylight, the curtains are drawn, and the interior lighting is dim.

When Yang Zhiyuan saw Yin Liuli, he smiled politely: "Miss Yin is also here, and I just saw a bottle of pink sweet sparkling wine on the shelf, and I asked someone to pour a glass for you to taste? You can refuse Xiao Su's business skills. One piece, I am ashamed of myself."

Su Yehao said with a smile, preemptively attacked, and said:

"Of course, I was fascinated by Liuli just by looking at it at first. In other words, you still have the mind to set up a poker game. Be careful that I sue other shareholders. Google, which I invested in, is developing so fast, you should think about it. Why?"

Being able to do such a big business, Yang Zhiyuan seems to be free and easy, and he is also arrogant.

After hearing Su Yehao's words, he replied:

"Wait for you to remind me, I have already studied it, even without your Google, I am afraid that other companies will appear as our competitors."

"Google is really easy to use, the algorithm is better than the Yahoo I developed, and the user evaluation is very high, but unfortunately if you don't sell ads all the time, your wallet will be drained sooner or later, and there is no long-term advantage. in front of the merchants.”

"In addition, Yahoo's stock price is still rising. There are so many new netizens, and the market is enough for everyone."

heard.

Yin Liuli remained calm, glanced at Su Yehao with a sullen smile, and instantly remembered the saying just now that "a fool will sit next to a competitor and share a good idea".

Su Yehao realized that Yang Zhiyuan didn't take Google seriously, and suddenly realized that he was worrying for nothing.

Yahoo is now almost ten times bigger than Google, and its advertising business is booming.

On the other hand, Google is relying on his investment to support it. It is almost like a gold swallowing beast, and it has burned more than 80 million US dollars in half a year.

Due to the increasing number of users, the speed of burning money is accelerating~www.readwn.com~ The number of Google employees has rapidly exceeded 300, which means that in terms of labor costs, the annual cost is as high as 50 to 60 million US dollars. Some professional managers and The annual salary of top engineers is as high as more than half a million dollars.

Compared with labor costs, the advertising cost to attract users is the real big deal.

Calculate the customer acquisition cost of attracting new users, and the average is about 22 US dollars, which is equivalent to burning money all the way, and we have today.

Yahoo has a reputation for acquiring customers as low as one-third of Google's.

In the words of venture capital institutions, it is not enough to look at the scale of users alone. In the end, the value of a company can truly be determined by the company's performance and income.

So it seems.

It's no wonder that Yang Zhiyuan is not only not worried, but also likes to see Su Yehao's joke.

Sitting at the poker table, chatting and waiting for several other poker friends, a hot blonde waiter trimmed a large Havana cigar for Su Yehao.

Without blinking, he stared at the waiter and looked at it. Like many married men, Yang Zhiyuan waited for the waiter to leave and whispered:

"Her name is Laura. The last time she wrote the number on a napkin and handed it to me, she threw it in the trash because she was afraid of being found at home. I really envy you, an unmarried, handsome and rich man. It's okay to be sassy."

"So proactive? That's right. I've heard that American girls are very open. It's strange that no one is watching you, the fifth diamond king."

After Su Yehao finished speaking, he stared at the waiter's gourd figure.

When he caught a glimpse of Yin Liuli in the corner of his light, he looked at the ceiling and looked around as if nothing had happened.

Smoking a cigar, Yang Zhiyuan spoke again and asked:

"Let's talk about business, someone from Softbank will come over later, is your Google willing to sell it? It's about 1.2 billion US dollars."
