Chapter 1650 Each Has His Own Thoughts
It was obviously not a successful conference for an insider, but under the strong public relations ability and word-of-mouth of the Android Alliance, it turned into a grand and successful conference, which left many people stunned.
Leader Qiao belonged to another kind of person. When he called Xiao Qi, he said dismissively: "Just these two outdated mobile phones are also worthy of being called smart phones? They are not comparable to your dream stars. Let alone my iphone, give their stupid brains 100 years and they won't be able to catch up!"
When putting down the phone, Xiao Qi couldn't laugh or cry. This Qiao gang leader never forgets to suppress dream stars on the basis of improving himself every time. It seems that this has become a habit.
But Xiao Qi admired the incomparably strong confidence of Chief Qiao.
No matter when and where, Master Joe never lost confidence in himself. For example, when he was kicked out of Apple, for example, when Pixar was struggling to maintain, for example, when facing the aggressiveness of Samsung and the Android Alliance in the future, he never lost confidence in himself. They all have the mentality of Lao Tzu being number one in the world.
I also have to say that it is precisely because of Gang Leader Qiao’s character and determination to go all the way to the dark that Apple can be so successful. If there is a little compromise, there will be no Apple today, and no Apple that will flourish in the future.
Through the phone call, Xiao Qi knew that Gang Leader Qiao, just like himself, really didn't care about Motorola and Nokia, so he was relieved.
It doesn't matter how powerful the enemy is. The key is that you can't be dragged down by others. It's the right way to develop yourself well. The app store can't panic.
On the other hand, another thing Qiao Gangzhu mentioned to Xiao Qi was interesting.
That is the Apple company shares that Gang Leader Qiao is acquiring recently.
Gang Leader Qiao borrowed 5 billion US dollars in cash from Xiao Qi, and another 1 billion US dollars from other good friends. A total of 6 billion US dollars, secretly began the steps to acquire Apple shares.
The performance of Apple's shares in the past few years has been very strange. Even with the emergence of ipods and iPhones, there is no way to explain why it fluctuates up and down.
In addition, the subprime mortgage crisis has now spread continuously. The U.S. economy has been hit hard.
Under such circumstances, it is convenient for the leader Qiao to secretly absorb shares.
However, Gangzhu Qiao has temporarily stopped after acquiring 1% of Apple's stock, because he feels that the current crisis in the United States is not as simple as the subprime mortgage crisis, and the consequences of the subprime mortgage crisis must be worse than it is now. Much more serious.
Today, Apple's market value is about 120 billion US dollars in total, and it is still rising steadily, but Joe's gang leader is keenly aware that perhaps it is best to wait.
Xiao Qi listened to what Gang Leader Qiao said and judged. Unknowingly, I admire it secretly.
In fact, in the six months after the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008, Apple's stock price plummeted from $180 to around $80, and its market value shrank by more than half.
If Leader Qiao spends all the 6 billion US dollars now, then by the beginning of 2009, Leader Qiao himself will be extremely depressed.
But if Joe's boss waits for the best time, then the $6 billion in his hand can buy at least 12% of Apple's stock. That is a very remarkable number, and it is completely the largest shareholder of Apple.
Holding a huge loan of 6 billion US dollars. Qiao Gangzhu can still be so stable, it has to be admired that he has a big heart.
What's more, the meaning of Gangzhu Qiao's telling Xiao Qi is that he persuaded Xiao Qi not to rush to buy Disney's stock. If things are really as he expected, then Xiao Qi seems to be able to buy more than 10% of the Disney stock at the same price. Disney stock. And not just the 5% that was previously expected.
Of course Xiao Qi readily agreed, it is a good thing to be able to spend less money to buy more shares for little Taylor.
Anyway, he entrusted this matter to Chief Qiao, so he didn't have to worry about it.
Leader Qiao is very calm and composed. But for Samsung Lee Kun-hee, who is also in Asia, it is a bit like sitting on pins and needles.
Some time ago, when Samsung was attacking aggressively by the Android Alliance, Li Kunxi knew that he couldn't hide Xiao Qi's performance from the sidelines when the Android Alliance was aggressively attacking, but for him, this was the most correct way to deal with it. most favorable.
Even if this will destroy some of the friendship and cooperation between Samsung and Fairy Company, if it happens again, Lee Kun-hee will make the same decision.
Don't doubt it.
Li Jianxi is such a ruthless hero. From a certain point of view, he is much more hateful than the leader of the Qiao Gang.
Everyone is a pawn he uses, and he will never have any real friendship with others, and what he has is only the relationship between interests.
Think about it, how can a person who can treat his elder brother and daughter like that have the loyalty to help his business partners? Stabbing fiercely is his true nature!
Fortunately, it was not only Li Jianxi who was watching coldly, but also Gang Leader Qiao, so while Li Jianxi was relieved, he felt that Xiao Qi would not settle accounts with himself and Gang Leader Qiao.
Even though he thought so, Li Jianxi still gave Xiao Qi's wife a favor by purchasing gmarket as an expression of his apology.
Li Jianxi saw the mobile phones released by the two major mobile phone giants of the Android Alliance, n80 and a1600, directly from the video of the press conference. He compared them with the Samsung s2 mobile phone he was working on, and immediately discovered that these mobile phones did not exist at all. What a gap, even in terms of hardware and software, Samsung is still vaguely at a disadvantage, just like its ranking on feature phones in recent years.
Those who have a slight upper hand still have to rely on the many apps in the app store, otherwise, according to Samsung's strength, they will almost be defeated by them.
Even so, Li Jianxi does not have much confidence that he can compete with the new smartphones of Nokia and Motorola.
Samsung has a complete hardware industry chain. The failure of several mobile phones is not in the eyes of Li Kunxi. The key is that this will affect Samsung's position in the app store.
Li Jianxi has never doubted the power of the app store!
If he was kicked out, it would be a matter of regret!
Looks like it's time to do something else!
...
If Li Jianxi is only thinking about how to break through the siege on the mobile phone, how to win over Xiao Qi, and further increase the proportion of shares in his app store, other people's considerations are not so simple.
Of course, it is not a group of high-level executives from Sony Ericsson. They have decided to join the Android camp and have reached a substantial intention. They will announce it in a month or two at most.
The person who is in trouble is the husband and wife president of htc.
Wang Hong and Cheng Wen, one on the inside and the other on the outside, work closely together on weekdays, bringing htc to the current stage where the OEM mobile phones and self-developed mobile phones are booming, and it seems to have become the top ten technologies in Baodao company.
But being in such a position happened to be an awkward position.
If htc wants to take a step up, it has to face various giants, whether it is the Apple, Fairy, and Samsung super alliance in the app store, or the three major overlords of the Android alliance. No matter which alliance, they are not what htc can object to defeat.
The only possibility of success is to join one of the camps.
From the heart, Wang Hong and Cheng Wen are definitely inclined to join the app store camp, not only because there is a fairy company with the same origin, but more importantly, the development potential of the app store is absolutely unlimited. It is even more attractive for the drafting and creation of the Android Alliance.
But very helplessly, no matter how they inquired, or asked various people to inquire, Xiao Qi never let go, and had no intention of accepting another company at all.
They didn't understand Xiao Qi's meaning, and thought that Xiao Qi looked down on small companies like them, but they didn't know that Xiao Qi knew the development track of htc, lacked continuous R&D investment, and had a flaw in grasping the market , are their Achilles' heel, which is not related to their company's strength, but to the thinking of the two decision makers.
There has never been any large international group in Baodao, and it has a lot to do with the thinking of Baodao people. In this regard, this province is different from Japan. Many ideas and thinking of the Japanese are really not in Baodao. People can compare.
Coming back to the topic, since they couldn't join the app store camp, then Wang Hong and Cheng Wen are also real people, and they began to think about how to join the Android camp.
After all, the two major companies in the Android camp, Nokia and Motorola, have a deep cooperative relationship with HTC, and have a deep understanding of HTC's potential and strength. Therefore, at the end of last year, they strongly invited HTC to join the Android Alliance , became a sharp knife they inserted into Xiao Qi's lair.
The problem is that htc wants to use the Android Alliance to develop, but it doesn't want to be the cannon fodder of the Android Alliance.
Their real goal is the same as in the previous life, which is to be in developed countries such as Europe and the United States, and they don't care much about the backward high-tech market of Huaguo.
What's more, there is such a fierce tiger like Xiao Qi entrenched in the mainland, once there is a war with Xiao Qi, only htc will be defeated on a large scale, not Fairy Company.
I want to gain benefits, but I don't want to be used by others.
How to find this balance is really a big problem for the weak htc! (To be continued..)
ps: You can't guess htc's decision, I won't set the opponent so simple! In addition, a few digressions, this morning, at 6:10, I was woken up by the shaking of the earthquake. It felt like I was shaking sideways. I wanted to get up to see if I could escape to the open space, but when I woke up, I remembered that I was at my parents’ house. , the tenth floor, so I can only sigh and continue to sleep... This feeling of natural disaster is really bad! Can we avoid so many disasters in the past few years?
