Chapter 1706 What Exactly Is Xiao Qi Going to Do! ? (Superior)

"What exactly is Xiao Qi going to do! ? "

This is a special issue of The Guardian, one of the most famous newspapers in the UK, published on February 29.

"We deliberately chose a day that has only one day in these four years to remind everyone to pay attention. This is not only a special day where there is only one day in 1461 days. What we want to talk about is also a very special person. He is like a comet Similarly, in 2005, he started to get involved in the electronic industry, starting from a simple feature phone named "Shan Zhaiji" by the people of Huaguo. Two and a half years later, a boy who once had nothing has become a unique mobile phone on this planet. Most people need something to look up to.

We once specially bought Xiao Qi's first 'fairy phone' from Huaguo. This phone has an ordinary appearance and ordinary functions. Perhaps few people were willing to use it a few years ago. However, in Huaguo, a country with 800 million rural population that is still poor, it has achieved unexpected success. From the sale of mobile phones to the sale of the rights and interests of the 'fairy phone', Xiao Qi has gained a total of 2.5 billion US dollars in income. , at this time he had just turned 18.

One conclusion we can draw from this example is that as long as you create something that people want, then you can be successful. No matter how meager the value of this thing is, it can still create enough benefits for you! In fact, Xiao Qi did the same thing later on, so he succeeded in the end.

The latter example, I think everyone is very familiar with it, the dreampad that created the era of smart electronics for mankind, and the appstore that actively expanded the development of smart electronics, even in the eyes of the most demanding people, can be regarded as the greatest in human history. The invention of the invention let us know that the people of Huaguo were not only smart 2000 years ago, but also have smart geniuses now.

Some people say that Xiao Qi is nothing, and that smart electronics were invented by IBM. The tablet computer was invented by Microsoft, and Xiao Qi only obtained such an achievement by comprehensively extracting the accumulated experience of his predecessors. He was even suspected of stealing the limelight from Gang Leader Joe, because only a few months later, the even more sensational smartphone iphone was launched, and its popularity and popularity. Far greater than dreampad.

But that's not the case.

The Chinese invented gunpowder, but they used gunpowder for entertainment, while people in the western world made weapons with gunpowder, which changed the whole world ever since. We do not deny the greatness of the invention of gunpowder by the Chinese people, but what we need to thank is the people who gave full play to the use of gunpowder.

Of course, my example is not too accurate. Xiao Qi's contribution to smart electronics is far beyond your imagination. If he had not opened this door for us, who would think that the tablet computer, which was made dead by Microsoft, could still appear in front of us so amazingly? Who would have thought that a tablet could be smart?

There is also a software development kit for all engineers. Its emergence is not only to build a cross-national and cross-ethnic store, but also to make everyone's whimsy available through the easiest way. freed. It can be made for people all over the world to judge whether it is useful or not, and whether it is fun.

Inventions full of wisdom are always intoxicating. Only by relying on these two creations, Xiao Qi can make him enter the ranks of great inventors, but the surprises that Xiao Qi brought to us are far more than that. People once said that a tablet is a dreampad, and a smartphone is an iphone, and no one can change this inherent impression. However, in the dreamstars launched at the end of last year, various innovations, including the amazing fingerprint unlocking function, made the author, who already owns an iPhone, unable to help but contribute a little operating income to Xiao Qi.

From this we can know that any classic can be innovated, Xiao Qi has changed the inherent concept of smartphones today. Can we expect that in the near future, who can change the concept of this smart tablet? For this, I am always looking forward to it with optimism. "

"Today we publish a special issue. It is not a compliment to Xiao Qi's success, but in addition to the above-mentioned things that everyone knows, we also hope that everyone can see another side of Xiao Qi, who is completely different from that inventive genius. another personality.

Now many people in the business world know that besides the title of 'Father of Smart Electronics', Xiao Qi also has the title of 'King of Gambling'. Xiao Qi's first bet against oil was in April 2006 with two investment banks, Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs.

But perhaps many people don’t know that it was not Xiao Qi’s intention to bet against each other for the first time. He just wanted to buy ADI’s wireless chip department from Merrill Lynch and Texas Instruments’ wireless communication chip from Goldman Sachs. Patent right. But the managers in charge of the business at that time looked down on Xiao Qi, so they arrogantly rejected his acquisition request.

Everyone will know what happened later, through the betting, Xiao Qi not only won the patent and company he wanted beautifully, but also made a lot of money, and at the same time made those executives who looked down on him all get more money Three months salary leave. And one year after this, Xiao Qi used a sensational way to make a big bet of 5 billion U.S. dollars in oil with the five major investment banks and commercial banks, and then he made hundreds of experts from these investment banks completely become other people. The fool in his eyes is so stupid! How stupid!

So far, no one dared to bet against Xiao Qi on oil. Even if Xiao Qi publicly stated at the beginning of this year that he believed that the price of oil could rise to an unbelievable price of 150 US dollars, no one dared to bet with him. . But looking at it now, it seems that Xiao Qi was right again in his prediction this time. The price of oil keeps rising. Lehman Brothers even predicts that the price will reach as much as US$180 per barrel this year.

Do you think we want to say that God bestowed Xiao Qi with an extremely smart mind, so Xiao Qi is a person who relies on his talent to make a living?

If that's the case, you're all wrong. What we want to say is that Xiao Qi did not squander his talent recklessly, but that Xiao Qi planned a huge effort behind his back. For his fairy empire, what Xiao Qi paid and planned in private is far beyond Beyond your imagination!

As we said earlier, before Xiao Qi created the dreampad, he knew what he wanted—patent!

Enterprises in Huaguo lack patents, and they don't respect patents. They usually use them for doctrine and don't care about the hard work of inventors. Therefore, this is where the international community hates Huaguo people very much!

But Xiao Qi is different. We can see that since he just made a feature phone, he has completely respected the principles of the Western world, strictly paid for the use of patents, and at the same time pursued patents tirelessly. His initial bet was purely to obtain the various patents he wanted. Although he was blocked by Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs at that time, he succeeded in bringing its cdma department into his hands in the crisis-ridden Nortel Networks.

Of course, Xiao Qi did not have smooth sailing. Apart from being looked down upon by Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs, do you still remember the incident of Apple telling Fairy Company about patent infringement?

According to the news we spent a lot of money on, the reason why Xiao Qi rushed to the United States at the first time and quickly reached an understanding agreement with Gangzhu Qiao was that Xiao Qi held many patents of smart electronics, which overlapped with Apple, and Apple The company once again sadly ranked the patent application behind Xiao Qi.

It is also because if the dreampad cannot be launched, then the iphone cannot be launched either, so Gangzhu Qiao had no choice but to give in in the end. After the two parties exchanged patent authorizations, each iphone had to be paid to Xiao Qi for a patent royalty of 8 dollars. That is to say, every time you buy an iPhone, you have to give Xiao Qi 8 dollars.

Apple does not give much. Xiao Qi used his "monopoly" in the smart electronics industry to reach patent exchange agreements with companies such as Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Nokia and Motorola. As long as they produce smart phones and smart tablets For the computer, they paid Xiao Qi!

People often say, why Xiao Qi was able to build an appstore by himself, but he brought in Apple and Samsung and distributed the money to others? In fact, this is also where Xiao Qi is smart. All those who questioned him knew how important Apple's products are to the appstore after the iPhone's shocking sales! Although Samsung failed for the first time, with their powerful hardware industry chain, I don't doubt how Samsung will fail. When the products of these three alliances become stronger and stronger, it will be the appstore. When it became the number one store in the world.

Xiao Qi's pace did not stop because of the success of dreampad and appstore. On the contrary, his acquisitions became more and more frequent. You may not know that, taking advantage of the subprime mortgage crisis, he first spent 1 billion US dollars to acquire Ericsson's mobile phone and wireless communication equipment patents, and then spent 2.3 billion US dollars to acquire more than 6,000 patents of Nortel Networks as a whole. In a few days, he bought Infineon and Qimonda at a price of 10 billion US dollars.

From this we can see that besides having two experimental bases located in Huaguo and the United States, Xiao Qi has already covered the entire industry of smart electronics from top to bottom, and it is difficult to find another person. For example, his strength in smart electronics, even the combination of Google, Nokia and Motorola, dare not say that he can beat Xiao Qi! "
