Global Monopoly of Technology

[New week, recommended tickets, monthly tickets are all rough! ]

——

With the launch of the Azure-X mobile phone on December 24, which triggered a new boom, sales were enthusiastic, and major media reported it, and the Côte d'Azur company topped world news headlines for the first time.

At the end of 2006, Luo Sheng once again became the focus of attention in the global technology community.

Such a popular sales boom has also attracted a lot of attention, including two analysts from Deutsche Bank, Lloyd Walmsley and Cary Kester, who have experienced the Azure-X mobile phone offline experience. At that time, I began to conduct a follow-up in-depth study of this product and wrote two research notes.

The research transcript was disclosed to the media the day after Christmas, and analyst Kester's forecast was that Azure-X mobile phone sales could reach 320,000 units in the first week and 8.5-9 million units a year. Around that, there will be more than $7 billion in horror sales.

Overseas news was also sent back to China one after another, and major media in the mainland competed for reports.

Today, Luo Sheng has undisputedly become the recognized leader in technology in the mainland. His achievements have even attracted the attention of many big names who have worked hard in the industry for many years and have been famous for a long time.

Even after the release of Azure-X, some industry insiders said that in the domestic consumer electronics field, Azure Coast is the most likely to surpass the communications giant Hua Wei, which is the No. 1 communication giant, in the next three or even two years. Global sales this year have reached $11 billion.

At this time, people realized and dug out the cooperation between the two companies three years ago. At that time, the disclosure of the cooperation reached by the two sides surprised the industry, and they all thought that Hua Wei was crazy.

But today, three years later, people realize this cooperation, their strategic vision and courage.

Right now, Côte d'Azur has become the focus of the news, but the concept stocks of Huawei are quietly rising. At the same time, with the huge supply chain based on Azure-X mobile phones, Côte d'Azur concept stocks were born.

Another major beneficiary is Biyadi, an important partner of Azure-X mobile phones. For the first time, good news came. Biyadi decisively announced some cooperation rules with Cote d'Azur.

When the news came out, Biaadi's stock rose sharply, and the momentum continued. On the second day, it even jumped higher. The market value of after-hours trading reached 19.7 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Hong Kong stocks without the daily limit soared by 146%, becoming a demon stock.

President Wang was frightened. He knew that Bia Di would take off directly with the help of the east wind on the Riviera, but he did not expect such an exaggeration.

There are various factors that cause this. Among them, Luo Sheng's influence should not be underestimated. He has proved to the world time and time again that miracles will not be shattered in him. It is because Luo Sheng is in the technology world, and Buffett is in Wall Street.

...

Monday morning, January 2, 2007.

Entering the new year, the Cote d'Azur company returned to work after the New Year's Day.

"Mr. Luo, the first week's sales have been counted, and the global data." Yao Jianhong came to Luo Sheng's office. He had returned to China yesterday. During this time, he was also running back and forth in Europe. The current European market is very important to the Cote d'Azur. It is extremely important to the company, and most of the company's energy is spent on operating this market.

"How much?" Luo Sheng asked.

Yao Jianhong was very excited: "Global sales reached 337,000 units in the first week, of which 285,000 units were sold in overseas markets and 52,000 units were sold in the mainland market. 256,000 units were sold for the 4GB model and 81,000 units for the 16GB model. The first-week sales hit a record high. ￥1.85 billion.”

Luo Sheng nodded: "Accounting 260 million a day is not bad, slightly better than expected."

Hearing this, Yao Jianhong, who was so excited, came back to his senses, and suddenly felt a burst of shame. This is already better than expected and exploded, right?

But after looking back and thinking about it, Luo Sheng is still the founder of Bluestar Technology Group, so he is relieved.

Several companies are happy and some are sad. To say that the most angry company is Qualcomm.

Three years ago, he signed a commercial gambling agreement with Cote d'Azur. At that time, he was very happy to earn about 200 million US dollars more, and he even scolded Luo Sheng behind his back as a idiot with a lot of money.

Times have changed, and with the launch of the Azure-X phone sparking a sales boom, Qualcomm's executives are now dumbfounded.

What they thought at the time was that Luo Sheng must be focusing on the Greater China market. Although he requested that the global market be included in the agreement, Qualcomm still did not think that Luo Sheng's Azur company had the ability to compete with Nokia's century-old international giants. , it is impossible for anyone outside of China to buy Luo Sheng's mobile phone.

As a result, he never imagined that his target was not only the overseas market, but also the European and American markets.

According to the commercial gambling agreement between the two parties, the higher the sales volume of mobile phones by Cote d'Azur, the less Qualcomm's commission will be. Once the annual sales volume reaches tens of millions, Qualcomm will lose at least 80% of its revenue.

If Qualcomm follows the normal patent licensing model in the past and does not play this commercial bet, the unit price of the 16GB signal of the Azure-X mobile phone is US$799, and it can take about US$43 from it, which is equivalent to ￥345 excluding exchange rate changes. If the annual sales volume is 10 million units, it means that Qualcomm can make 430 million US dollars (¥3.45 billion) lying down.

What really made Gao Feng vomit blood was that this commercial gambling agreement was not signed for one year, but for five years.

In fact, think about it from another perspective. From the perspective of Qualcomm, in terms of the negotiation three years ago, there is no reason not to sign, and any European and American technology company can't think of a reason to refuse.

Because at that time, even the day before the official launch of the Azure-X mobile phone, no one in the world would think that Chinese mobile phone brands could sell well in the European and American markets, let alone no European and American people would believe it, it was 99% Chinese people will not believe it.

But the world just loves to joke around.

For Qualcomm, God has played a big joke on him. If the products of the Côte d'Azur continue to sell well, it means that Qualcomm will lose billions of dollars in patent fees.

It's just bleeding.

Luo Sheng doesn't care if Qualcomm has exploded in anger now, if he knows, it will even be cool.

But this can be ignored.

Now that the sales data for the first week has come out, Luo Sheng's heart is also stable, at least this year can be a good year, and there is less than a month before the Spring Festival.

Entering 2007, Luo Sheng's focus and main energy can be transferred from Côte d'Azur. The goals for this year's Côte d'Azur have been set at the end of last year, with a total of three goals.

The first goal is to enter the North American market. Although it is a little troublesome, there is absolutely no trouble in landing cloud computing services in North America. You must know that Zhongxin Mobile has entered the North American market for many years. The reason why the Cote d'Azur did not enter is that local telecom operators look down people;

The second goal is to consolidate the closed-loop ecosystem of the AOS app store, which itself is a key profitable project, and 30% of the commission is appropriate;

The third goal is to launch the Azure-3G version this year.

The first product of Côte d’Azur company was successfully launched. In the following days, Luo Sheng’s work focus will also be transferred to Bluestar Technology Group. Not only will all its “Family Buckets” be stationed in the mobile Internet, but new projects will also be launched. He didn't want to open the era of the mobile Internet with his own hands, but let himself miss it.
