Chapter 1593 (1/2)
Looking back on history, we can see that in the 1980s, many great enterprises were born in the world, and Qualcomm is one of them.
Blind, confident and arrogant Intel, ignoring Qualcomm, has been surpassed by Qualcomm in the mobile chip business, and will even miss the great opportunity of mobile Internet.
For many years, Qualcomm has been actively engaged in the deployment of CDMA patents, and promoted CDMA to become the latest 3G industry standard protocol.
The purpose of this is to make almost all enterprises engaged in 3G product manufacturing and sales in the industry have to sign patent license contracts with Qualcomm.
Qualcomm has so many basic 3G patents that even its competitors have to use them.
With 3G licenses being issued all over the world, every technical standard of 3G can hardly bypass Qualcomm, which owns the intellectual property rights of the main core technologies.
As the founder of CDMA technology, Qualcomm has almost monopolized the use right of all technology patents related to CDMA.
Any company that needs to use CDMA technology patents shall pay Qualcomm a large number of patent license fees.
Now, Andy is going to be a chip giant just through capital operation. Such experience, I'm afraid, will make Intel, arm, apple, four-star, NVIDIA and other chip industry real tycoons and new stars ”gnash their teeth”, but also raise their vigilance, the wolf of capital is coming!
everyone knows that chips are in the top of the whole industry, and can achieve enough, relying on long-term continuous R & D investment and accumulation, there is no shortcut to go.
Not only a large amount of time and investment is needed in the early stage, but also continuous investment is needed in the later stage. The chip industry is a fast upgrading and iterative industry. If we do not continue to invest heavily in R & D, the leading advantage may not last for long.
However, no one knows how big Andy Smith's appetite and ambition are. However, when he successfully entered Qualcomm with his superb capital operation and courage, no one can guarantee that he will continue to annex larger industry peers to build his semi leader empire.
Semiconductor Empire?
Of course, Andy will not stop at a Qualcomm company, nor will he stop at only becoming the chairman of the board of directors supported by major shareholders of multiple institutions!
How could he leave his fate to others?
For these institutional investors, Andy has never trusted them, because he knows better than anyone, everyone is the same, they can't get up early without profit, today they can abandon the current members of Qualcomm's board of directors for the benefit of today, tomorrow for the greater benefit, they will not hesitate to kick him out!
Two years of experience, let him understand a business rule, become a hunter, or become prey.
First step away from the giant stadium celebration, back to Gaia tower, standing in front of the electronic screen wall of freedom city investment company, watching a blood red number jump, Andy's face is only indifferent.
While enjoying the eyes full of awe and adoration of his subordinates, he also sighed in his heart the words that Grandpa Smith said to him.
”The road to ambition must be paved with the bodies of many victims!”
The two-day crash of American stock market once again made the whole market howl. As the initiator, Andy found that he didn't have a trace of guilt, but only the joy of achieving his goal! Looking at the helpless wailing after the enemy's dying struggle, he was only excited!
”Boss, we've started to lose
Bardstone handed Andy a report form, with a solemn face.
Andy took a look at the figures on the report and said lightly: ”it's inevitable to lose. If you want to shuffle, you can't pay nothing. The key is to see whether it's worth it. Compared with what I can get, this loss doesn't matter.”
