American Fortune Life

HTC, its rise and development process can definitely be regarded as a legend in the Wanwan technology industry.

From making handheld computers in 1997, it has been losing money. By 2000, handheld computers became popular, and HTC took advantage of the situation to turn luck. It soon became the foundry of HP, Dell, Palm and other brands, and became the "king of foundry" in this field.

This has also laid the foundation for HTC from the very beginning, and it has been an OEM for the world. On the contrary, it has intentionally or unintentionally ignored the core technology, which has laid a huge hidden danger for it.

When 2007 came, smartphones were subverted and redefined. Apple launched the IOS system, and then Google launched the Android system to compete with it.

As an early mobile phone manufacturer, HTC also seized this plan and made great efforts to launch the world's first Android mobile phone this year, becoming the first Android mobile phone brand to compete with Apple's iphone at that time! Four stars had not yet launched !

It is also this mobile phone that pushes HTC to the top of the industry. Andy knows that in the next few years, HTC will usher in its most glorious moment, and its market value will increase dozens of times.

It was not until Apple, the local tycoon, drove HTC out of the U.S. market through a patent lawsuit, and at the same time, the Chinese market, which they originally looked down upon, also rose together and occupied the vast majority of the market share. Since then, HTC has begun to decline.

Andy did not have the idea of ​​competing for HTC's internal power. Although it was easy for Andy to acquire HTC at this time, except that Wang Xuehong, the second generation of a successful entrepreneur, would not accept the fate of being acquired, secondly, Andy There is not much willingness to acquire HTC.

The stake in HTC this time, in addition to wanting to take advantage of the situation to make a fortune, is to become a shareholder of HTC, and directly embed these apps and mobile games under Andy in HTC's mobile phones.

This is also the main task of Li Xiaoying's meeting with Wang Xuehong in Wanwan.

"In this way, you tell Wang Xuehong that I want 10% of the shares, and our shares can be exercised by her through an agreement. We only need to give priority to dividends. game."

In the video window, Li Xiaoying frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, then looked at Andy and said, "Let me try it, the other party is very cautious about selling the company's shares, and put an end to anything that might threaten her control over the company." Potentially dangerous. I could sense a lack of trust in outside investors."

"Don't worry, talk to her slowly. Our joining will help them develop the American market."

Andy is also quite helpless, and he also knows something about Wang Xuehong, the second-generation control yu who is not bad for money. This woman is called the most powerful woman in the Wanwan technology circle.

"Okay, I see, then I won't disturb your rest, good night."

"Hey, don't worry..."

Andy looked at Li Xiaoying with a gloomy smile, then turned off the video connection, couldn't help laughing and shook his head.

Back on the screen again, Andy stretched out his hand and carefully hugged the sleeping Lily back into his arms, staring at the ceiling with absent-minded eyes.

Andy has been hesitant about whether to be a mobile phone company or not. Although there is endless money in this world, it is impossible to make everything.

Forget it, since my goal has been determined to be Qualcomm, don't think about making a mobile phone.

First-rate companies sell standards, second-rate companies sell brands, and third-rate companies sell products.

As long as you master Qualcomm, you will basically have your own exclusive standards in the field of chips and communications, and become a pioneer in leading the industry.

It can be said that in these fields, Qualcomm already has a certain right to formulate industry standards.

The mobile phone is only a bottom-up product, and the development of mobile phones will also be affected by various component patents and technology trends. Therefore, it can be considered in disguise that only by mastering these technologies and the right to speak in patents can one become an industry leader.

If he owns Qualcomm, Andy also wants to reach into the mobile phone industry,

That will undoubtedly usher in the target of all mobile phone companies. Not only will no one cooperate with Qualcomm, but it will also break the balance of Qualcomm selling chips instead of making mobile phones, and mobile phone companies buying chips instead of developing chips.

Andy will not challenge the industry consensus and unspoken rules, and no party is willing to unilaterally deviate from this balance and be isolated by the entire industry.

It's not that he didn't think about directly acquiring Apple, which has a low market value now and will be even stronger and more profitable in the future. Unfortunately, this kind of thinking can only be played for fun.

Because the acquisition of Apple is simply an impossible plan, even if Andy can obtain funds exceeding Apple's market value with high debt, the acquisition cannot be completed.

The dispersion of Apple's equity, the complexity of internal forces, and the intensity of the struggle are beyond the imagination of outsiders.

Companies like Microsoft and Apple have long been infiltrated and controlled by various forces. It is a joke for a person who thinks he has 180 billion to challenge a huge interest group with the shadow of the government.

Otherwise, Master Qiao wouldn't be ruthlessly kicked out of his Apple company?

Otherwise, Master Qiao would not be rewarded with shares by the board of directors for leading Apple to rise again. You must know that he is not a person short of money.

Andy can spend money to buy Apple stock, but he can't get control of Apple. Even if his current Apple stock exceeds 5%, he may not be able to enter the Apple board of directors without the approval of half of the board of directors. .

Some things really cannot be achieved with a little money!

Acquiring Apple, or Microsoft, huh, huh, it's a joke in itself!

Similarly, the acquisition of Qualcomm will never be smooth sailing. However, it has not really entered the era of smart phones, and the potential of smart phones has not yet fully exploded.

Andy can take advantage of this opportunity to complete the acquisition of Qualcomm. If it takes a few years, Andy believes that even if the price is sky-high, he will face obstacles and even attacks from many parties.

In the early morning of the next day, Andy opened his sleepy eyes, raised his head slightly, and looked at Lily, who was gently helping the waking little Andy in the SPA, and couldn't help grinning, then dropped his head back on the pillow, slowly Close your eyes slowly.

"Are you self-taught?"

Andy, with a bath towel around his waist, washed his face with water in his hands, and teased Lily Collins who was brushing his teeth beside him.

"what..."

Andy took the towel and wiped his face, raised his eyebrows and said to Lily who was a little confused: "It's the way to call me Qichuang, I like this kind of good morning greeting."

"I hate it." Lily gave Andy a charming white look, "It's your reward for not leaving last night and leaving me here.

Besides, what's so difficult about this kind of thing, in fact, it's quite fun, I like the smell of truffles, it's delicious. . . "

The corner of Andy's mouth twitched, a little dumbfounded, what the hell is fun, but seeing that Lily wasn't joking, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Very good, keep going, but you should find some teaching materials and practice your skills well."

Crayon Shin-chan's eyebrows were raised, and a smirk appeared on her ruddy and fair face. Lily joked, "Before, I wanted to look at it..."

Black lines popped out of Andy's forehead, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he slapped Lily's little Buttocks a few times angrily, causing Lily to giggle coquettishly.

At the breakfast table, Andy looked at Lily, who was wearing a white lace nightgown, holding a glass of milk and drinking it. Thinking of the morning, he couldn't help laughing twice. It seemed that besides his little assistant, he had more Morning Musume member.

"The fire in Los Angeles has been extinguished. I'm going back to Malibu to join my mother in the morning." Lily put down her glass and said to Andy.

"It's better to live in Malibu for a while. The air pollution in Los Angeles is very serious now. It's better not to go back so early. Also, after arriving in Malibu, ask Mary to take you to see the beach house I sent you. See See if you like it or not."

Lily smiled into crescent moons with her beautiful eyes, and while eating toast, she laughed and teased: "Are you planning to wrap me up?"

"Of course, as your first man, I have the obligation and responsibility to raise you up and enjoy it alone." Andy said solemnly to Lily, who glanced at him.

"Possessive YU, you bastard, how many women do you have?" Lily Collins complained angrily, frowning.

"Hmm...let me think about it..." Andy pretended to frown as he thought about it, and stretched out his fingers to calculate, thinking in his mouth.

"go to hell!"

Lily's ruddy pretty face showed a look of displeasure, and she laughed angrily. She picked up a piece of toast and yelled at Andy's serious face, cursing angrily.
