Chapter 1038: Jealous Samsung

The subprime mortgage crisis is gathering strength, and dark tides are surging everywhere in the United States.

But this kind of economic crisis has nothing to do with Joe's iphone.

Throughout May, Apple released two iPhones in a row, with a total of 3 million units, which were digested by the crazy American people without even a splash.

With the gems of the dream pad in front, the iPhone can no longer become an unparalleled existence, but it is still the best mobile phone in the world today.

Good operating system, perfect user experience, incomparably enjoyable entertainment functions, etc., have all begun to ferment continuously. In the hearts of mobile phone users, iPhone has become "more than just a mobile phone" as it advertises.

As Xiao Qi said before, the dream pad will never become the hegemony of the iphone, because the applicable population of the iphone far exceeds that of the dream pad.

The fact is the same. With a population of 300 million in the United States, more than 200 million people use mobile phones. Even every elderly person can wear a mobile phone, but it is impossible for every elderly person to play a dream pad?

Therefore, the success of the iPhone is not to be envied. Instead of having this spare time, it is better to put in effort to make your own dream stars well, and come to the US market to compete with the iPhone.

Unlike the previous life, this time Apple really didn't use the trick of hunger marketing. Gangzhu Qiao can't wait to produce 10 million iPhones in one go to meet the constant hunger and thirst needs of the market.

But the fact is that it will take time to expand the production of the Red Sea factory. It can squeeze out 3 million iPhones in two months, and it is Guo Taiming's limit.

Therefore, the same thing happened as in the previous life.

Everywhere in the world except the United States. The price of iphone keeps soaring, the kind ones are only sold at an increase of 1000-2000, and the unscrupulous ones directly double the price.

Like to buy or not, anyway, there are people who want them, and they are definitely rushing to get them.

Even the people around Xiao Qi were attacked by this violent wave. Relatives and friends of relatives and friends begged for another one, just one.

But the 1,000 iPhones bought back at the beginning have been completely distributed to everyone, and Xiao Qi has lost all of them, so he can only say sorry with a wry smile.

Seeing that the iphone is so touching, a strong fashion trend has even formed in the society, and the engineers of the dream stars department are greatly stimulated. Ambitious again.

Only they know that the Dream Stars designed by the little boss is definitely not inferior to the classic iPhone. Once the research and development is completed, such a terrifying sales boom will definitely appear on Dream Stars!

The engineers of Fairy Company are a little better, after all, there are still many processes to be completed for the release of Dream Stars, and they are too busy.

Samsung is more impatient than them.

Relying on Li Jianxi's incomparably keen sense of advancement. Samsung was the first to start developing smartphones right after Apple.

Motorola and Nokia, which are as powerful as it, are because the organization is too large and overstaffed. Moreover, he was reluctant to give up the high market share and profits of the current ordinary mobile phones, so he did not take any action for a long time, and was going to wait and see.

Samsung is different, Li Kunxi's will is their goal, but Li Jianxi is a very wise leader, so Samsung released the iPhone. Then they put all their efforts into the field of smart phone research—in fact, after the dream pad came out, they also started research on smart tablet computers.

None of the mobile phone manufacturers in the world can compare with Samsung.

Because Samsung is the only group company that owns the entire industry chain of mobile phone hardware, that is to say, the entire industry chain of hardware. They can manufacture mobile phones without relying on any external companies, only relying on Samsung's internal branches.

Based on this alone, Nokia and Motorola are weak.

Because they need to make the model first, slowly match it in the laboratory, and then manufacture the trial-produced parts of suitable companies at home and abroad, and finally gather them up for matching. Needless to say, it was a real waste of time.

Samsung is different. All the companies are directly located in the small country of South Korea. They can communicate in real time every day, and can modify data at any time. Even molds and samples can be made by subordinate companies, and then they can be taken to the laboratory together. To assemble, if not, then develop again.

Gathering everyone's strength is the most powerful.

Samsung's ability to integrate so many resources is also an important factor in their current and future success.

I'm afraid this is one of the important reasons why Nokia and Motorola's transformation speed is far slower than Samsung's, and they ended up being acquired miserably.

Seeing that the iphone attracts so much money, but it is so unable to meet the needs of the market, Samsung, which is already in the experimental stage, can't wait to develop a smartphone today to compete with the iphone.

You know, the production capacity of Samsung Electronics is terrifying. Compared with a company like Apple that does not have its own factory, if Samsung's factory is fully activated, 20 million units a month is definitely not a problem-Samsung's annual sales in the future It reached 400 million units, and the production volume reached a terrifying 500 million!

Li Jianxi even personally issued an order to make smartphones the most important task of Samsung Group this year, and must make excellent smartphones as soon as possible.

Speaking of which, Xiao Qi, the behind-the-scenes driving force, contributed to Samsung's ambition to compete with the iPhone.

In January before, when Lee Kun-hee led the team to negotiate, Samsung Electronics bought 130 mobile phone appearance and function patents from Xiao Qi. These patents quickly allowed Samsung to reduce the detours. On the right path, at least the launch of the smartphone was brought forward by 3 months.

If it weren't for better performance and instant success, Samsung would be able to produce the first batch of smartphones in June, but in order to achieve better performance, it must undergo millions of trials.

Besides, Samsung still has a difficulty they can't get over - they can't copy any classic design of the iPhone, even if these patents are not Apple's, but Fairy Company authorized Apple to use them.

Li Jianxi has called Xiao Qi more than once, hoping to get some core patents, but Xiao Qi refused without exception.

Samsung is very powerful, yes, Samsung is an important partner of Xiao Qi, yes, but it is also an important competitor of Xiao Qi, it is absolutely impossible for Xiao Qi to directly support Samsung to grow because of friendship.

It is also because of this that Samsung has to vigorously increase the number of researchers to work hard to bypass the patents of Apple and Fairy Company-this is commonly known as the patent barrier, an artifact designed to attack competitors, and it was also used by the former leader Qiao to perfection one hand.

Just like after Samsung has acquired 5% of the app store, it still needs to pay Xiao Qi for components worth billions of dollars and sell Patent fees for mobile phones and tablet computers.

Friendship belongs to friendship, and business belongs to business.

This very cold reality was taught to others by Li Jianxi in his previous life, and now Xiao Qi is still giving it back to him.

It is undoubtedly a luxury to make friends with business partners and competitors, not to mention that Li Jianxi is notoriously ruthless. When he uses you, he is definitely a kind old man. A ferocious beast that swallows or crushes your company in one bite.

So, the launch of Samsung's first mobile phone was delayed by another two months by Xiao Qi.

One gain and one loss, the various battles of wits and courage contained in it are really beyond the understanding of others. (To be continued..)
