Chapter 1038 The jealous Samsung

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

But this kind of economic crisis has nothing to do with Gang Leader Qiao’s IPHONE.

Throughout May, Apple released two IPHONE mobile phones in a row, with a total of 3 million units, which was digested by the crazy American people without even making a splash.

With the success of DreamPad, the iPhone cannot become unparalleled anymore, but it is still the best mobile phone in the world today.

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

As Xiao Qi said before, DreamPad will never become the hegemony of IPHONE, because the target audience of IPHONE far exceeds that of DreamPad.

This is also true. There are 300 million people in the United States, and 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 DreamPad, right?

Therefore, the success of IPHONE cannot be envied. Instead of having this spare time, it is better to put effort into making your own DreamStars well and compete with IPHONE in the US market.

What's different from the previous life is that this time Apple really didn't use the hunger marketing trick. Boss Qiao couldn't wait to come up with 10 million iPhones in one go to satisfy the market's constant hunger and thirst.

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

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

In all parts of the world except the United States, the price of iPhones continues to soar. The kind-hearted people only sell them for 1,000-2,000 more, while the more evil ones just double the price.

Whether you want to buy it or not, people want it anyway, and they are definitely rushing to get it.

Even the people around Xiao Qi were attacked by this violent trend. Relatives and friends of relatives and friends were begging to give them another one, just one more.

But the 1,000 iPhones he originally bought have been completely distributed to everyone. Xiao Qi doesn't have any of them anymore, so he can only say sorry with a wry smile.

Seeing that the iPhone is so exciting and has even formed a strong fashion trend in society, the engineers in the DreamStars department were greatly stimulated and became ambitious.

Only they know that DreamStars designed by the little boss is definitely not inferior to the classics of IPHONE. Once the research and development is completed, such a terrifying sales boom will definitely appear on DreamStars!

The engineers at Fairy Company are a little better. After all, there are still many processes to be completed before the release of DreamStars, and they are very busy.

Even more anxious than them is Samsung.

Relying on Lee Kun-hee's extremely keen forward thinking, Samsung was the first to start the research and development of smartphones following Apple.

Motorola and Nokia, which are as powerful as it, have been slow to make any moves because their organizations are too large, their staffs are overstaffed, and they are reluctant to give up the high market share and profits of ordinary mobile phones. They are ready to wait and see.

Samsung is different. Lee Kun-hee’s will is their goal. However, Lee Kun-hee is a very wise leader. Therefore, after the release of IPHONE, Samsung devoted all its energy to researching the field of smartphones. In fact, after the DreamPad came out, they

Research on smart tablets has also begun.

No mobile phone manufacturer in the world can compare with Samsung.

Because Samsung is the only group company that has the entire industry chain of mobile phone hardware. The entire industry chain of hardware means that they can manufacture mobile phones without relying on any external companies. They can only rely on Samsung's internal branches.

Based on this alone, Nokia and Motorola are weak.

Because they need to make a good model first, slowly match it in the laboratory, and then make trial production parts from suitable companies at home and abroad, and finally put them together for matching. If it doesn't work, they have to send it back and make it again... Between the two, the energy is lost.

Needless to say, time is really wasted.

Samsung is different. All 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 brought to the laboratory together.

Go ahead and assemble it, and if it doesn’t work, go back to research and development.

The most powerful thing is to gather the strength of everyone.

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 was far slower than that of Samsung, and they ended up being acquired tragically.

Seeing how the IPHONE is attracting so much money, yet so unable to meet the needs of the market, Samsung, which is already in the experimental stage, wishes it could develop a smartphone today to compete with the IPHONE.

You know, the production capacity of Samsung Electronics is extremely terrifying. Compared with companies like Apple that do not have their own factories, if Samsung's factories are fully operational, 20 million units a month will definitely be no problem - Samsung's annual sales volume in the future

It reached 400 million units, and the production volume reached a terrifying 500 million!

Lee Kun-hee even personally issued an order to make smartphones the most important task of Samsung Group this year, and must produce excellent smartphones as soon as possible.

Speaking of which, Xiao Qi, the driving force behind Samsung’s ambition to compete with iPhone, is indispensable.

In January, when Li Jianxi led his team to negotiate, Samsung Electronics bought 130 mobile phone appearance and function patents from Xiao Qi. These patents quickly allowed Samsung to reduce the number of detours and make it right from the beginning.

We are on the right path and have at least advanced the launch of smartphones by three months.

If it weren't for the desire to do better and become an instant hit, Samsung would have produced the first batch of smartphones in June. However, in order to achieve better performance, it must be honed millions of times.

Moreover, Samsung still has a difficulty that cannot be overcome - they cannot copy any of the classic designs of the IPHONE, even if these patents are not Apple's, but are authorized by Fairy Company for Apple's use.

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

It is true that Samsung is very powerful, and it is true that Samsung is an important partner of Xiao Qi, but it is also an important competitor of Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi will never directly fund the growth of Samsung just because of friendship.

It is also because of this that Samsung has to vigorously increase the number of researchers in order to work hard to bypass the patents of Apple and Fairy Company - this is commonly known as the patent barrier, an artifact specially used to combat competitors, and it was also used to perfection by Gang Leader Qiao in the previous life.

One hand.

Just like after Samsung has obtained 5 shares of the App Store, it still needs to pay Xiao Qi billions of dollars worth of parts and components according to the previous agreement in order to ensure the permanent right to use the App Store.

Royalty fees for mobile phones and tablets.

Friendship is friendship, business is business.

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

It is undoubtedly a luxury to make friends with business partners and competitors. What's more, Li Jianxi is famous for being ruthless. When he uses you, he will definitely be a kind old man. Once you have no use value, he will

A ferocious beast that will swallow up or destroy your company in one bite.

As a result, the launch of Samsung's first mobile phone was delayed by Xiao Qi for another two months.
