Wall Street Legend - Chapter 370
Chapter 370 The Long Wait
With the rapid advancement of 3G, smartphones are ready to be launched. Unfortunately, some key technologies are stuck. Even if Ye Dongqing is anxious, it is useless. It is not something that can be solved in a day or two.
Some people in Nokia are more intelligent. They realized that the functions of mobile phones do not have to be limited to making calls and sending short messages. At the beginning of the year, they launched a camera phone supporting megapixels, which caused quite a stir at the time.
Just a few days ago, the company released a new model equipped with the Symbian operating system, and the 3.5-inch screen supports touch operations. This kind of technology has long existed, but it has not yet reached the level of Jobs. Requirements, more advanced touch screen technology is now in Apple’s laboratory.
Judging from Ye Dongqing’s identity as someone who came here, this kind of personal experience of participating in the evolution of mobile phones is quite interesting, and he is still using Vertu today.
It can be predicted that in the next two or three years, the mobile phone industry will inevitably undergo a great change. Apart from Apple, who can survive and who can grow stronger? At present, even Ye Dongqing can’t guess, history has already followed his arrival And rewrite.
…
He is only a shareholder, and has not directly participated in the specific management of these Internet companies. The pile of data on the table tells him that even without Ye Dongqing present, they can develop very well.
Going in the right direction from the beginning, today’s executives follow the original thinking, avoiding many detours.
As for the reason for Facebook’s recent troubles in Europe, Ye Dongqing can probably guess that it’s because the European Union strengthened its cooperation and was annoyed by Washington’s small actions and various sanctions, so it targeted some companies in Silicon Valley. , can be regarded as mutual sanctions and restraints.
Not only Facebook, but also other Silicon Valley technology giants have more or less encountered some resistance on the EU side, but this dispute may not last long, because the EU has not been able to compete with Cisco, Qualcomm, Intel, Microsoft, etc. Comparable companies kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. It will not be long before they find out that it is not good for anyone and will delay the deployment of 3G networks.
There are so many people in the European Union, it is difficult to twist into a rope. Ye Dongqing remembers that the United States made small moves in the previous life, and with the addition of some benefits, Britain, the big brother in the European Union, would take the initiative to leave the group.
Combining the information, I feel that the EU will probably not close the door, so there is no need to worry too much about the loss of interests. Who will let there be no competitors there, and many loyal users have been developed before. These days, people still Not paying much attention to the security of personal information on the Internet.
Thinking about holding a senior management meeting tomorrow, sitting down and chatting with them, and solving the problems encountered during the management, Ye Dongqing stopped thinking about those, turned on the computer, searched for keywords with Yahoo, and entered the official website of Global Hot News inside.
When I saw a certain piece of news, the corners of my eyes twitched instantly. According to the news about Xiao Lizi and Bundchen, a reporter photographed them going to a hospital in Los Angeles. They guessed that it might be a pregnancy test, or they were planning to give birth early.
Calculating the time, they are more than eight months pregnant. Models usually don’t wait until full term for the sake of their figure, otherwise it will be difficult to recover later, which may ruin their careers.
Well, someone is feeling guilty.
Sitting in front of the computer, Ye Dongqing felt uncomfortable all over. A sky full of gods and Buddhas flashed in his mind, praying that bad things would never happen.
After a while, he recovered from the shock, went in to read the news with a little curiosity, and found that there were more than a thousand messages in the comment area below, which showed that it was more concerned, and the website was popular, but he didn’t pay attention at all at the moment These.
I just feel terrible, and in the blink of an eye, so much time has passed, and the old worries resurfaced in my heart again, as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
But what can we do? The wrong things I did after drinking too much, I can’t go back to the party in early March this year to change anything.
If it is the same as what was said in the report, it is already preparing for early production recently, and it is estimated that we will get news in the next few days. Ye Dongqing can no longer pretend not to know. There is only one word left in her mind, worry…
At first, I was ambitiously planning to solve some official business, but now I am completely out of mood.
I thought about asking someone to find out, but I was guilty, and I was afraid that someone would catch my little tail later.
If the truth doesn’t come to light, he will probably be worried all the time, and then start to think about changing his will, so as to avoid being cut off from his body after some accident happens.
Rich people always have more issues to consider than ordinary people…
**************
Drive to Apple by yourself.
Jobs has returned to the company, but he does not have a full-time job. He still needs to cultivate after a serious illness. Maybe he is afraid that there will be no successors. He is also willing to let Cook stay in his position for a while. It is considered exercise. When he called Ye Dongqing Just mentioned it.
Didn’t call anyone, let someone come over to receive him.
Ye Dongqing parked the car at the door, just brushed his face and walked in, and then walked to the location of the R&D laboratory with ease.
There is no need for a door card, because it is a major shareholder, and it is enough to wave to the security guard or other employees to help. Under the strict confidentiality rules set by Jobs, unless commercial spies are sent, ordinary people will not even be on the floor where the laboratory is located. I don’t know what is being developed, and even some managements in the company who don’t have enough authority can’t get in touch.
Secrecy is necessary.
Now the iphone development project is much ahead of others, or there is no competitor at all, and almost only Nokia is named, and the smartphone equipped with the Symbian system…can it be called a smartphone?
The many patented technologies applied for today can further lay the foundation for Apple’s success in the future, so Ye Dongqing’s thinking is the same as that of Mr. Jobs. He would rather give the employees more money than cover their mouths tightly.
Take Tamsui Investment Group as an example. Recently, it has successfully obtained shares in many enterprises in the upstream industry chain of smart phones. It has great hopes to help him earn huge profits in the future, such as Broadcom in Germany and LG-Display in South Korea. The investment was not announced publicly.
Walking in the corridor at the moment, you can see R&D laboratories through the glass, and there are various instruments inside. Ye Dongqing doesn’t even know what they are used for, and he doesn’t need to figure it out. I just want to know how far the so-called iPod-touch has been developed and when it will be mass-produced and put on the market.
The word iphone didn’t appear, instead it was replaced by a series of three-digit numbers. His arrival attracted a lot of attention. After asking, he found out that he had gone in the wrong direction, so he went back to find the so-called R&D studio No. 000…
