On June 15, Motorola, Ericsson, Philips, Siemens, Intel, IBM, at & T, HP, etc. gathered at Qualcomm to join and promote WAP standard! The advantage of WAP standard is obvious, which makes the mobile phone can access the Internet and attract users to pay for it!!!

    WAP standard is good for all but no harm. It''s the most favorable for businesses. Naturally, it''s strongly supported!

    This time, more than 100 companies or organizations have come to Qualcomm.

    Owen Jacobs, CEO of Qualcomm, held and presided over a conference on WAP network communication protocol standards. At the conference, Owen Jacobs, as the host, gave a speech on the benefits of WAP: "the realization of CDMA wireless communication technology of Qualcomm makes it possible for mobile phones to access the Internet! However, if the mobile phone wants to communicate with the Internet, then a unified network communication protocol needs to be established between them, otherwise, the data sending and receiving will be wrong!!! Therefore, in consideration of this, Qualcomm has specially formulated the WAP standard. WAP standard is used all over the world, so there is no need to worry about data errors due to different protocols! "

    "WAP standardization can save a lot of resources, companies do not have to spend time and energy to re develop a standard, they can launch products as soon as possible, so as to seize the market! It is conceivable that when a mobile phone with internet access comes out, how much sensation will it cause? Will users be interested in this kind of mobile phone

    Owen Jacobs said, and representatives of many companies or institutions below nodded slightly in recognition. Seeing this, Owen Jacobs couldn''t help laughing and then said: "at present, mobile wireless communication is the fastest transmission speed of CDMA network, reaching 25kbps, far higher than the transmission speed of European GSM network of 15kbps!"!!! Here, I recommend you to buy snapdragon 100 chips developed by Qualcomm, so that your mobile phones can access the Internet faster! "

    Owen Jacobs said that finally, by the way, he promoted snapdragon 100 chip. Next, Qualcomm sent a WAP standard recognition statement to each representative present to vote on whether to support the WAP standard. And after the statistical data of Qualcomm, it can announce to the world that certain company supports WAP standard, thus forming a greater influence!

    Half an hour later, after making statistics, Owen Jacobs found that more than 70% of the companies or institutions expressed support! Seeing this data, Owen Jacobs laughed. The trend has become enough to announce that WAP has become the standard!

    Then, Irving Jacobs announced the results in a loud voice: "the statistical result is that more than 70% of companies or institutions voted for the WAP network communication protocol of Qualcomm, that is to say, WAP can form a global unified standard!"

    make love!!!

    A burst of applause broke out.

    After the meeting, Owen Jacobs came out from the backstage and saw Craig Barrett, CEO of Intel, talking with the CEO of Motorola, the largest mobile phone manufacturer, at the corner. Both faces were full of smiles. Obviously, the conversation was very happy

    Owen Jacobs didn''t have to go close to guess what they were talking about. Mobile phones are becoming more and more popular. Intel also sees this piece of meat fat, and naturally wants to swallow it! It is now in the field of computer CPU chip alone, ambitious, even not let go of the mobile phone chip!!!

    Owen Jacobs frowned. Intel''s strength is beyond doubt. If it wants to enter the field of mobile chip, it''s really hard to deal with it!!!

    Thinking of this, Owen Jacobs, in a hurry, returned to the office and called Henry.

    "Chairman, I have something to report to you!" Owen Jacobs said in a low voice.

    Henry heard something strange and asked, "why, is there something bad?"

    "Yes, I found that Intel and Motorola are in contact! Motorola''s mobile phone market share in the world''s first, is worthy of the hegemony! If they cooperate with Intel, but not with us, Qualcomm will lose a lot of money

    "Well," Henry nodded, and then pondered. In his memory, he thought that Intel had entered the field of mobile chip in his previous life, but he was in the wrong line, and the result was tragic! Intel developed a chip called xsale to enter the mobile phone market, and stood in line with Motorola''s Linux lineup.

    However, Nokia''s sudden rise and Motorola''s defeat make Intel''s plan to enter the mobile phone market fail!!

    Thinking of this, Henry asked, "has Intel contacted Nokia?"

    Owen Jacobs thought about it, shook his head and said, "it seems not!"

    "That''s good," Henry said with a smile. "Intel is on Motorola''s side, then we are on Nokia''s side!"!!! You can talk to Nokia and express our intention of cooperation! "

    "Nokia? Nokia in Finland Owen Jacobs thought about it and frowned, "Chairman, this company is involved in too many industries and is on the verge of bankruptcy. Therefore, I don''t think they will be a good partner! "

    Henry patted his head and scolded secretly. How can he forget this? Nokia is a large cross industry company in Finland. Its industry involves papermaking, chemical industry, rubber, cable, pharmaceutical, natural gas, petroleum, military and other fields. As a result, too many industries will drag Nokia down! Now Nokia is really in the midst of ups and downs. Two or three years later, the new president and senior management of Nokia resolutely abandoned all other industries, split and sold all traditional industries, leaving only the Electronics Department of Nokia. This decision is Nokia''s most important strategic choice in its history. After that, Nokia ranked first in mobile phone sales for 15 consecutive years, almost unmatched!!!

    Of course, until Apple''s "terminator" appeared

    Henry didn''t speak. He thought for a long time. Then he said to Owen Jacobs, "Owen Jacobs, I''ve decided to buy Nokia!!"

    "What?" Owen Jacobs was stunned and thought he had heard the wrong thing. "Chairman, do you mean you want to buy Nokia?"

    "Yes, that''s right, I''ve decided to buy Nokia," Henry said loudly! You don''t have to worry about this. I''ll let Silicon Valley Electronics Group buy it! At that time, Qualcomm will cooperate with Silicon Valley electronics group again! "

    "All right!"

    "Well, that''s it!"

    After that, Henry hung up and thought that he was a little excited to be able to acquire Nokia... Now is the most difficult time for Nokia. Acquiring it will mean that in the era of mobile phones, no one can beat him!!!

    Henry was in a good mood and couldn''t help humming: "I''m a cow, I''m a cow, I''m a apple after Nokia..."

    At this time, Henry was at the headquarters of Silicon Valley electronics group and immediately called CEO Harrison.

    After a while, Harrison came to Henry''s office in a hurry.

    "Chairman, what can I do for you?" Harrison asked.

    "Yes," Henry nodded. "Well, you immediately contact Nokia to make a purchase request. Well, only the electronics division of Nokia is acquired! "

    "Well, good!" Harrison answered, with no surprise on his face. He was used to being asked by his boss to buy the company. "If the chairman has nothing else to tell him, I will arrange the acquisition now!"

    Henry gave a "well" and waved him away.

    ……

    The next morning, the company held a press conference to announce that the WAP launched by the company has been recognized by most mobile phone manufacturers and telecom companies around the world, forming a standard!!!

    After the release of the news, the status of Qualcomm was immediately improved, and mobile phone manufacturing companies with underground orders in the United States came in an endless stream! These mobile phone manufacturing companies do not have the strength of Motorola to develop chips independently. Therefore, they can only manufacture mobile phones by purchasing chips from other companies!

    In fact, the main customers of Qualcomm are such a group of small companies. Large mobile phone manufacturers such as Ericsson and Motorola all cooperate to develop their own CDMA chips by means of patent authorization. For each CDMA chip produced, they will give Qualcomm a $40 patent fee!!!

    Through patent fees, Qualcomm can also make a lot of money, but not as much as selling its own chips! If Qualcomm wants to promote CDMA, it must cooperate with Ericsson, Motorola and other mobile phone giants. Otherwise, how can it promote CDMA and form a standard

    Just when the business of Qualcomm was booming, Owen Jacobs called Henry again: "Chairman, I have something to suggest to you!"

    "Come on, what''s the matter?"

    "Chairman, arm only has chip design department, but no production factory. I think we should establish our own wafer factory! In the future, we will introduce a new generation of CDMA chips. If we produce them ourselves, we can save a lot of money! In addition, it can also control the production capacity more effectively, not affected by other manufacturers! "

    When Henry heard this, he thought it was very reasonable.

    Arm doesn''t have a production plant, because it is poor and can''t afford to open a production plant. In the end, it can only do chip design, and then authorize it to earn a patent fee. But, obviously, royalty and products, of course, are more profitable products!

    In the future, Qualcomm will produce hundreds of millions of chips every year. It''s better to find OEM than to produce them by itself. That''s a huge expense! However, you can learn from Samsung, the surplus capacity can be used to OEM!!! However, Henry suddenly thought of TSMC!

    TSMC is the world''s first wafer foundry company. Founded in 1987, TSMC will become the world''s largest wafer foundry company with a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars.

    If we can acquire TSMC, then there will be no problem in chip production!

    But is TSMC founder Zhang Zhongmou willing to sell the company?

    Henry can''t help shaking his head. Zhang Zhongmou is so bold that he resolutely founded TSMC and created the wafer foundry mode when few people are optimistic about it. Obviously, he has extraordinary vision and firm will. If he wants to buy his company, he will probably fail! Moreover, after four years of development, TSMC has passed the most difficult time. Now the company is developing very fast, and its profitability is getting better and better. Zhang Zhongmou doesn''t mind if he becomes a small shareholder, but if he wants to control the company, it''s impossible

    Come on, simply set up a wafer factory by yourself, it''s not so much!

    So Henry said to Owen Jacobs, "well, OK, let''s build a fab! Just, does Qualcomm have money? " Now, it''s no more than a few hundred million dollars to build a wafer factory with a certain scale! For the time being, it''s hard for Qualcomm to come up with this money, because the funds they spend on R & D account for more than 60% of their revenue

    Owen Jacobs has already thought about it for a long time, and said directly: "we can make Qualcomm listed for financing. In the current situation of the company, once it is listed, it will be sought after by investors, and the share price will rise greatly!"

    "Listed financing?" After hearing this, Henry was a little surprised. He was used to making money from Japan and the Soviet Union. In addition, he already had Williams bank to borrow money at any time. Therefore, for a long time, Henry was basically not short of money. Therefore, he had no plan to let the company go public!

    However, now hearing Owen Jacobs'' proposal to let Qualcomm go public, Henry suddenly reacts that it''s time to let his company go public gradually!!!

    After the company is listed, it can raise funds, and the shares will be more valuable, so the employees will be more motivated when they work! In addition, after the listing of the company, improve the company''s visibility, improve the transparency of the company, increase public confidence in the company!!!

    Anyway, going public is good. Moreover, the Internet bubble is bound to advance. Henry does not know the specific time. First, the company will be listed. If the stock price is more suitable, cash out some of the funds and wait for the end of the Internet bubble to buy the shares again.

    Henry pondered for a while, then replied: "OK, let the company go public to raise funds!"

    "Good Owen Jacobs got Henry''s consent and hung up happily!

    Henry leaned back in his chair, thinking, in addition to listing Qualcomm, which company should be listed?!

    The first should be Internet companies, among which the unlisted companies include global online company, Isearch company, ICQ company, 360 holding group

    It seems that there hasn''t been a sensation in Nasdaq for a long time. In this case, let the four companies go public together... (the update is a little late, sorry.. Please subscribe
