Chapter 1298 The Source of the Company's Vitality

It can be seen that the teenager is not very satisfied with the plan of the dream pad laboratory.

But in the end Xiao Qi agreed with the plan of the dream pad laboratory, and Yuan Pingfei left inexplicably.

He didn't know that Xiao Qi was thinking about the gap between Fairy Company and Apple Company.

A small gap in data often represents a gap in overall strength.

At the time, Apple’s stock price plummeted for more than ten years. The personal computer market was squeezed by Dell Computer and almost collapsed. The closed operating system was also squeezed by the open Windows to almost die, but they just insisted on it. Go on, and persist until the day when Chief Qiao returns.

The biggest reason for Apple not to go bankrupt is Apple's excellent R&D team, who are constantly improving and improving the performance and functions of Apple computers.

Therefore, although Apple’s share in the computer market continues to shrink, the remaining ones are very loyal Apple fans. They like Apple’s user interface, Apple’s various software, and Apple’s beautiful style—precisely because The existence of this group of die-hard fans helped Apple to still have a lot of revenue in the most difficult time, providing them with a hard time.

Xiao Qi still remembers that when Mr. Qiao returned to Apple, Dell, the chairman of Dell Computer, the world's largest personal computer company, said a mocking remark in an interview: "Master Joe is back? What's the use of this tyrant coming back?" ?Apple is already a mess. According to my suggestion, the most and only thing that Apple can do is to liquidate and go bankrupt immediately, and distribute the little money to shareholders. This will not let them lose their income.”

Leader Qiao didn't speak at that time, he slapped Dell's face with slap after slap with Apple's more than ten years of brilliant achievements, almost making him ashamed.

And in 2013, Dell Computer was tragically forced to be privatized at a price of 24.4 billion U.S. dollars. Correspondingly, Apple's stock price was high. It once reached more than 600 billion US dollars, becoming the company with the largest market value in the United States.

The completely different experiences of Dell Computer and Apple over the past ten years may seem embarrassing to outsiders, but in Xiao Qi’s view, there is something deeply worthy of reflection.

The success of any company is not a fluke.

For any company to stand at the forefront of the industry for a long time, it needs long-term and unremitting efforts.

The Fairy Company has already succeeded with the dream pad, and the previous life has proved that its dream stars will be even more successful. But five years later, ten years later, after Xiao Qi's rebirth advantage is used up, can he succeed? Or was it a series of failures that ended with a crash?

Of course, the result of a sudden collapse is too exaggerated, and it is also too extreme to think about.

As long as Fairy Company still controls the app store, then this app store will bring Xiao Qi the most dominant position in the smart electronics industry, just like Microsoft's Le search system.

Because it is very simple, every smart electronic device needs to have corresponding apps and games. And the one that continuously feeds them is the app store.

Only here will there be tens of thousands, even millions, or tens of millions of programs. Therefore, as long as the user demand for smart electronics does not fail, the application store will not fail, and Xiao Qi's Fairy Company will naturally survive. .

But also see it. The app store relies on the efforts of hundreds of thousands or even millions of app developers, who gather their brains and brains in the app store to achieve such a great achievement.

It also proves from another perspective that strong technical strength is the guarantee for a company's prosperity and the source of support for the company's continuous advancement.

Xiao Qi didn't dare to ask Fairy Lab to join Mingxiang Holdings North America Lab. Like Procter & Gamble, there are 1.8 million full-time and part-time R&D personnel worldwide, but at least it should exceed Apple's 13,000 R&D personnel.

At present, there are about 2,000 R&D personnel in Fairy Lab, more than 700 in Mingxiang Holdings North America Lab, and more than 600 in the app store website. The total is basically only a fraction of that of Apple.

If it weren't for various affiliated companies, such as Samsung, MediaTek, arm, Imagination Technology, Chenhong Optoelectronics, Hitachi, etc., they also sent a team of more than 700 technical experts, and many technical requirements could not meet the standard. It will take at least another year and a half to launch.

Moreover, the continuous vitality of a product lies in the continuous innovation of technology in the final analysis.

The further you get to the back, the less products can be updated and innovated, because most of what can be imagined and done has been done.

If innovation is lost, in the era of smart electronics, it is simply impossible to make money by relying on constant models-you try the iphone and it has never been improved, and it has been selling its first generation Look? If that's the case, Apple and Joe's gang would have been swept into the dustbin of history long ago.

But Xiao Qi was not in a hurry.

Firstly, there are not many good R&D personnel, and there are not many available for poaching. They are all occupied by large and small electronic companies such as Nokia and Motorola. <, arm, etc. will enter a cold winter period, and they will lay off a large number of employees. At that time, Xiao Qi's opportunity will come, and he can do a lot of poaching and even the whole pot.

Three, Dream Stars will be launched soon, and Samsung will quickly launch better smartphones after the lessons learned from this hasty expedition. At that time, together with Apple, the three companies will join forces, and giants such as Nokia and Motorola will fall one after another. Engineers who usually look like babies will be laid off directly.

Xiao Qi didn't dare to say that he could recruit 100% of them under his command, but he was sure of grabbing 60% of them.

Think about how proud Apple can use more than 1,000 engineers on fingernail-sized dual-core processors like a4 and a5!

Xiao Qi also pondered, when his staff is sufficient, he will also increase manpower in several core departments. In order to truly be able to produce competitive world-class hardware and software, he must not be afraid of too many manpower, no matter how much he spends. It's all worth it.

As long as the source of a company can be abundant, then the vitality of the company will not dry up, and it will become more and more prosperous.

If you want to be a century-old store, you must have such a boldness of precision research! (To be continued..)
