Chapter 178: Ma Wei is going to start with the smartphone
Looking at his prosperous career and the deposits that were almost 1 billion US dollars in his bank card, Ma Wei suddenly set a small goal for himself, that is, to continue to spend money and invest, and to try to keep his money within ten figures... Unless he earned too much in the end, he gave up resisting...
Considering that the parallel world has been in 2001, no smartphones have appeared. This makes Salt Fish at home Mawei and always feels that life is missing something. So he is preparing to start the buying and buying mode and acquire all the links needed to produce smartphones under Google.
Including the research and development of Android systems, buy whatever you need. Anyway, the future mobile phone market has huge profits, so it is waiting to be subverted by smartphones...
Each smartphone needs to use parts from more than 200 suppliers, such as CPU, camera module, LCD display, etc.
"Hey, Shegail? I have something that needs Google to investigate for me." Mawei called the president of Google.
"Hello, Chairman Mavie! Please give me instructions if you have anything to do!" Shegail said respectfully.
"I may have to acquire several companies recently and go to Google. You can send someone to check what are the CPU manufacturers and system developers that are suitable for being acquired." Ma Wei said on the phone with a faint tone.
As for manufacturers of mobile phone batteries, mobile phone screens, mobile phone cases, etc., he doesn't plan to do it himself. Just outsourcing this kind of outsourcing, otherwise he will definitely be too busy.
"CPU manufacturer, system developer? Chairman Mawei, are you going to enter the computer field?" Shegail asked curiously. Their current computer industry in the United States is almost a solid piece. All profits are divided by Intel, Amd, HP, Compaq, ibm, Apple and other companies.
Other companies want to enter this industry, but they have been killed by these bigwigs before they can develop...
Mavie also understands this situation, so it is impossible to make such a low-level mistake, "not the computer field, but the smartphone field."
"Smartphone?" Shegail was startled by Mavi's words. In parallel worlds, mobile phones are still straight-board machines and flip-flop machines mainly composed of Nokia and Motorola. Few companies thought of making mobile phones smart.
"Yes, a smartphone can have an independent operating system and an independent operating space like a personal computer. Users can install software, games, navigation and other service programs on their own and connect to the network."
"Smartphones are the future of the world, and we must seize it." As a veteran, Mavie witnessed the collapse of Nokia and Motorola with his own eyes.
Although Motorola produced a smartphone called Tiantuo a6188 in 2000, its operating system, screen display, and setting the direction in the wrong direction.
As a result, Apple's first generation of mobile phones was launched in 2007, directly subverting the traditional mobile phone industry. Nokia forced to rush to acquire the Symbian system and develop its own smartphones. But it was too late, Apple was already leading the industry too much, leaving other companies far behind...
Now there are six years left for Mavie. Whether or not he can defeat Apple in this life depends on his leadership.
"Okay, Chairman Mavie, I'll help you with this!" Since Mavie said that Google is going to enter the smartphone field, then Scheel, as the president, naturally did his best to act as he told him.
After all, after following Mavie for a year, Shegail has witnessed the chairman and has too many successes.
Three weeks later, after the investigation, Shegail sent Mavie a detailed list of information, which listed the CPU manufacturers and system developers he investigated.
After receiving the email, Mawei officially started his crazy buying and buying mode!
The first thing to bear is the "American Qualcomm" that has just been established for 15 years and is still developing slowly! This company has a very good background in its previous life. It is Apple's first-generation and second-generation processor supplier.
In China, most of the smartphones of manufacturers such as Huawei, ZTE, Lenovo, Xiaomi, Hisense, and Haier also use Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors.
In 2001, the market value of Qualcomm in the United States was only less than 150 million US dollars. Mawei directly spent 190 million to acquire it in his own hands. He also asked Qualcomm to let its arm semiconductor company develop the arm11 series microprocessors as soon as possible, which is the CPU chip for smartphones...
Mobile CPU manufacturer, after getting it done, the next step is system development.
The programming language used in the Android system is Java, which is far less efficient and fast than Apple's objective-c. This directly leads to the Android system being used slower and slower. The experience is not as good as Apple's iOS system.
Moreover, the Android system program developers actually switched from Apple to Google. As for Apple's iOS system, it was derived from its mac system.
So the system development elite Mawei is looking for is naturally poaching people from Apple at a high price. Anyway, he offers a reward of 10 million US dollars, whoever can develop a "smartphone system" that satisfies him will be the money.
As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. Soon, Mawei's Google company recruited many senior elites from Apple who changed jobs, which forced Apple to raise its salary and bonuses. It wanted to use this as a way to retain it. But the effect was very minimal.
After all, Ma Wei spent too much money! A senior system developer has only $150,000 to $200,000. A reward of $10 million can be given, which can make them crazy to the point of desperately...
In addition to these key acquisitions and investments, Mavi is also preparing to establish a joint venture in Russia and China to build a mobile phone production and assembly factory similar to the well-known company Futukang.
Doing so will not only boost Russia and the domestic economy, but also provide a lot of jobs.
After completing these matters, Mavie spent nearly 300 million US dollars, which reduced his bank deposits to $510 million.
Just when Mavi was busy with his smartphone industry, a message from the Russian Federation's Ministry of Defense reached him.
That's...
"Young Master, the phone number is from the Secretary of Defense Minister. Miss Yuna called. She said the Minister of Defense wants to see you." The butler Ivan, covering the microphone, said softly to Mawei.
"Minister of Defense? Look for me?" At this time, Ma Wei was still picking bears and teasing tigers at home. I don't know what happened to the Russian Minister of Defense when he was looking for him.
"Hey? I'm Mawei, please tell me." He answered the phone casually and asked to the other end.
Chapter completed!
