Fight to the third generation

In the future, components will be purchased from around the world, and the assembly process will be placed in the mainland. Perhaps this can also be used to support a number of local companies.

The development of other industries has lagged behind, and the era of mobile intelligence that followed has become the key in Su Yehao's eyes. Not to mention blocking Lao Mei's money, at least he can grab food from Japan and South Korea.

KOKO Ventures now has several teams that focus on the cutting-edge technology of mobile smart terminal equipment on a global scale, such as display screens, microelectronics, batteries, and operating systems. , but also try to build a relatively safe supply chain.

Compared with this business, although other businesses are also very profitable, they are not as important as other businesses, such as real estate and liquor, all of which have to be sidelined, even higher than the interests in the financial industry.

Speaking of high tech.

ASML's immersion lithography machine has sent six units to Gangcheng Microelectronics Group, and they are still in the stage of installation and commissioning.

In addition, there are two prototypes for testing, and now they are busy assisting major chip manufacturers in tape-out trial production.

In the past few months, this newly launched business has helped Hong Kong City Microelectronics bring in a gross profit of 1000 million U.S. dollars, and the net profit is estimated to be about 500 million U.S. dollars.

This can be regarded as allowing Su Yehao to see the money back.

Cooperating customers include ARM, Qualcomm, Intel, Nvidia, AMD, etc. After all, for a long time to come, only Gangcheng Microelectronics Group has immersion lithography machines, and no one wants to lag behind, competing for high-priced arrangements tape out.

Some commercial secrets came into Su Yehao's sight.

For example, Intel is currently researching a dual-core processor with a 65-nanometer process, which is significantly higher than its competitor AMD in terms of technology.

For the sake of commercial interests, these companies will not release the bottom-of-the-box technology. Intel is only cooperating with Su Yehao for the time being. It hopes to start producing processors using the [-]nm process from the end of the first quarter of next year. The performance is obviously not as good as the latest research. payment.

In this era, everyone is mainly busy with fierce competition in the personal computer business.

Su Yehao quietly cooperated with the British ARM semiconductor company, and in the name of Apple Smart Company, he set up a team in Silicon Valley to develop the microprocessor needed for smartphones in advance.

Jobs was very tight-lipped. When a reporter asked why, the other party only said that he planned to develop a handheld computer for reading books, listening to music, and preferably watching videos.

This explains why self-developed microchips are needed.

There are countless failed handheld computer projects. After hearing this, most people will only feel that it is very unreliable. Even some quite optimistic analysts believe that this concept still exists in science fiction.

Some media even cited the failure of the Apple Newton handheld computer ten years ago, accusing Apple of not understanding innovation and should focus more on the personal computer business.

Su Yehao secretly greeted someone and posted a lot of such negative news on the Internet.

This is mainly to reduce the impact on Gangcheng Microelectronics Group, fearing that Qualcomm will be afraid of it, and there will be a gap between the two parties.

Facts have proved that Su Yehao was thinking too much.

Qualcomm is also obsessed with further developing the communication solutions business, and does not care about the "handheld computer" business of Apple, a small company. It has firmly taken the initiative in the communication market, and its annual revenue this year is expected to exceed 40 billion US dollars. mark, the net interest rate is as high as 35%.

It's hard to make money, and you don't care about everything, not to mention that Apple is notoriously closed. In the eyes of many people, this is simply asking for a dead end, so the sales of Apple's personal computers have been slow to increase.

Su Yehao holds 67% of the shares in Apple's smart subsidiary, and Apple's main company takes 33% of the shares in the operating system. Perhaps because the total investment is only more than 1 million US dollars, it is too small to be seen.

Both he and Jobs are happy to see the success of this, and they are afraid that someone will take away the good idea before they succeed...

……

November 2003th, [-].

Lin'an Boss Ma sent a final plan about the Double Eleven promotional activities via email.

When the email was received, Su Yehao was receiving John Zhou at home.

The chief operating officer of Yanmoji Group is one of the most experienced employees under him. Although his ability is not as good as that of the top professional managers, he is more serious in his work, which makes people feel at ease.

It can be said that John Zhou's personal interests are closely related to the interests of Yanwen Group, and even John Zhou himself does not think that after leaving Su Yehao, he will have the opportunity to achieve higher achievements than he is now, so he is more practical in his work. Other extra thoughts.

Sitting opposite Su Yehao, John Zhou glanced at the scenery outside the window, an unknown old tree with a huge canopy, the red leaves looked particularly eye-catching.

He told Su Yehao at this moment:

"Since you handed over the picture business to us and the video business to Google, I think they are very good now, the network loading speed is getting faster and faster, and the active registered users of the subsidiary instagram (photo wall) have exceeded 300 million, estimated The value is around US$120 billion, and people like this type of social platform that only uses pictures. Google’s valuation this year has increased exaggeratedly. It was only US$230 billion when it raised funds at the beginning of the year, and now it has risen to about US$[-] billion. Boss, your vision is still So vicious."

Su Yehao smiled and replied: "Now is not the best period for the expansion of the photo wall. The focus is still on ICQ and TVT. I think the revenue of Yanmoji Group in the first three quarters of this year exceeded 14 billion US dollars. The situation in Silicon Valley is not good enough. All right?"

John Zhou boasted, nodded and smiled:

"Very good. A group of companies have found a new revenue model. Investors are frantically pouring in. Just look at the increase in the stock price of Yanwen. It just exceeded 260 billion US dollars yesterday. And it is different from 2000. This time it Backed by actual revenue..."

Chapter 921 I am the boss at home

Internet crises are a thing of the past.

Since last year, listed companies on Nasdaq have shown a trend of polarization.

A group of high-quality companies began to rebound and rise, while another group was unable to find a way out. They could neither increase revenue nor sell reliable revenue theoretical models to investors, and were gradually submerged in the dust.

Not surprisingly, Su Yehao became one of the biggest winners again.

Regardless of Google or Yanmoji Group, his two major Internet groups in the United States have all achieved amazing growth.

Google not only earns money by selling advertisements, but also has online video, online games, advertisements, online travel accommodation, etc. It is a good concept with great growth prospects. Most investors believe that it is very likely to surpass Yahoo, and its market share is stable While climbing, there are nearly 20 billion US dollars in cash in hand.

For such a company, many evaluation agencies are optimistic about it, and give it an astonishing valuation.

Among all unlisted companies in Silicon Valley, Google has ranked first.

With the influence of 5S International Financial Investment Bank and KOKO Venture Capital, Su Yehao also introduced the concept of "Unicorn Enterprises".

This can be regarded as a big wave washing sand, showing ready-made gold directly in front of people. In fact, Su Yehao mainly wants to advertise for Google, TOT and other companies, taking the opportunity to increase the influence of these companies.

After just a few months of fermentation, the concept of unicorn enterprises has been widely accepted in the venture capital circle.

However, any unlisted Internet company with a valuation of more than one billion US dollars generally has a very high potential for success. Google temporarily ranks first on this list, and mainland companies such as TAT, TOT, and Taobao are also among them.

Needless to say, Yanwen Group’s value can be seen at a glance on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. Through advertising, third-party services and creative incubation business, it has also embarked on a path to be recognized by investors.

Last month, "Forbes" magazine just selected the list of the world's 2003 richest people in 500. If it wasn't for Su Yehao crying poor and selling miserably, hiding some of his assets while exaggerating his debts, he almost accidentally pushed Bill Gates off the altar .

This year, it can still be suppressed, allowing Gates to continue to be the leader with a slight advantage of one billion U.S. dollars and with a net worth of U.S. $490 billion.

Next year, there should be no way to hide it. To be honest, Su Yehao would rather hide it for a few more years.

For example, he dominates the Internet market in the mainland, which has caused dissatisfaction among many investment institutions. Some people even hope that the mainland will intervene in the name of monopoly.

Fortunately, Su Yehao had a lot of face, so nothing happened in the end. It's a pity that TOT was the first to be thrown out to quell the conflict. This was undoubtedly tantamount to spending money to buy peace.

The conversation with John Zhou is still going on.

Su Yehao said:

"When an enterprise develops to the stage of the Yanmoji Group, it is easy to get sick, and some internal problems that are difficult to solve, the most typical ones are loss of initiative and lack of innovation. Companies like Instagram and Netflix, old Zhou, you can Be sure to help me guard, the instant chat business has reached a bottleneck, and limited by the size of netizens, these subsidiaries are the key to promoting the continued attractiveness of emoji."

The issue he talked about was considered by John Zhou, and he sat down and said:

"I understand that if you like them, there must be some bright spots. Even Netflix, which is in the disc rental business, is now promoting the movie review website through the movie library and opening up a new advertising business, which is well received by Hollywood manufacturers. Welcome to sign a long-term marketing and promotion agreement."

Just happened to be talking about this topic.

Although it is a bit early to calculate the time, it is not a problem to plan ahead.

Su Yehao continued:

"Since borrowing the express delivery channel of Amazon Web Mall, Netflix's cost has dropped, but in my opinion, the key to its breakout is the online video business. New computer processors, LCD screens, and broadband networks, When the funds are a little more abundant, we can try to cooperate with Hollywood companies to do online paid channel business and watch movies online, and when the users reach a certain scale, we can also invest in filming by ourselves.”

I had talked about this idea with John Zhou and others before, but it seemed very unrealistic at that time.

Nowadays, the market share of LCD monitors is skyrocketing, and the popularization of broadband is particularly smooth. If users have enough patience, it only takes three or four hours to download a movie.

It seems to be pitifully slow, but it is much more convenient than mailing CDs. It not only avoids the trouble of using express delivery, but also downloads multiple movies and TV shows at the same time.

Others are different from Su Yehao. They haven't experienced real high-speed broadband, so they are easier to accept the status quo. Maybe it takes three or four hours to download it, and they still think it's cool.

John Zhou often used Google's video sharing service, and immediately understood what Su Yehao meant, and replied:

"These are not troublesome. Our company has the strength to support it. The cost of developing a product is relatively small, and how to promote and market it will cost the most money. At worst, try it first and decide when the time comes."

It sounds like it's very unfounded.

Google's video sharing business is currently mainly short videos of less than 2 minutes, mainly funny and life content, and also attracts some young users such as reviews, travel, beauty and figure.

There are other people who also do online film and television business, and the end is often not good. In addition to burning money on the database server, they also face lawsuits from copyright owners.

Netflix's new business is equivalent to the need to re-cultivate users' habits and shift people's attention from TV and DVDs to the Internet.

A lot of trouble was involved in it, so John Zhou didn't dare to be sure and talk too much.

The successful projects in the previous life may not be so lucky in the hands of Su Yehao, after all, they will inevitably cross the river by feeling the stones.

therefore.

Su Yehao asked John Zhou to greet Netflix executives and discuss a plan as soon as possible, regardless of acquisition or research and development, to produce the product as soon as possible, and be mentally prepared in advance to not make money for five years.

At the end of 2003, we will soon enter 2004.

Many of the ideas in memory already have the foundation to become reality. TVT under Yanwen just opened the voice and video call functions two months ago.

I chatted with John Zhou for more than an hour, during which Nangong Tian was at the door of the study, poking his head several times.

Wait to see off Lao Zhou.

Xiao Nizi popped up in an instant, her eyes glowed and she said:

"I didn't want to know the gender at first, but the doctor called in the morning and said that he was a young master. As the eldest, am I considered the eldest son?"

"...It's the 21st century. Our family doesn't pay attention to these things. From now on, the children will live their own lives. Don't bother me at home. You're so uncomfortable, you must harm me, right? Now I know too. "

Su Yehao's tone was helpless.

Nangong Tian said arrogantly: "So what if I spoil the spoiler, you have your precious son in my belly, don't you dare to bully me? I am the boss at home, you have been usurped by me. I have a friend who does shipping at home. Business, the daughter I gave birth to is so beautiful, why not make a baby kiss?"

Su Yehao was speechless:

"You started thinking about this before you were born? It's not like you haven't watched the new dramas you filmed. The fiancée or something is often the source of conflict..."

Chapter 922

Next year will host the Athens Olympics.

The organizer will send someone to contact now to ask if it is necessary to advertise.

After Su Yehao heard the news, he turned on the computer calmly, and used the TOT browser to check the familiar names in his impression, such as the one at the 110-meter hurdles, or the little oriental giant from the Rockets.

In sports, talent is talent, hard work alone is definitely not enough.

Therefore, relying on their own advantages, these two people once again achieved good results, and there are many related news on the Internet.

In Su Yehao's opinion, placing advertisements directly in the Olympic Games is a little less effective, not to mention the high price, and it can't be targeted at specific groups of people based on age groups or other conditions like on the Internet.

Just as minors are generally not interested in advertisements for real estate, cars and other commodities, adults are often not interested in stationery and toys.

Since the scale of the Internet has formed a climate.

More companies choose to place advertisements on the Internet, and the effect is generally better than that of traditional advertisements that cast a wide net.

Considering that at the Athens Olympics next year, the one in the [-]m hurdles is likely to become famous again and attract the attention of hundreds of millions of people, Su Yehao decisively decided to give the other party a big gift and choose a company to find him as an endorsement partner.

There are too many companies under my name.

Often can not remember, and easy to miss things.

In order to remind himself, Su Yehao asked someone to transform the wall directly opposite the desk into a magnetic whiteboard, on which hung the clocks of several major time zones, namely New York, San Francisco, London and Hong Kong City.

In addition, a batch of well-known brands are specially customized, and in the form of corporate organizational structure, the list of companies controlled by him or with a shareholding scale of more than 5% will be listed one by one.

The number is a bit large, there are more than 60 in total, and the value of holdings is less than 3000 million Hong Kong dollars and cannot be listed, otherwise there will be more.

Some projects that others helped invest in made Su Yehao feel very strange, and he didn't even remember that he had invested in it. It's no wonder that the scale of the family office continued to expand, otherwise it would really be too busy.

Stand in front of the whiteboard, rub your chin and observe for a moment.

Su Yehao decided to let Taobao.com cooperate with the basketball player, and the hurdler to endorse Black Diamond Mobile.

The establishment of Apple's smart subsidiary will not affect the business of the Black Diamond mobile phone itself. It is estimated that the fool phone will be popular for another three or four years. During this period, we will accumulate more experience in mobile phone production and see if we can continue to bet on an open operating system. camp……

The nanny at home stewed longan and red date soup, and Nangong Tian, ​​who was resting at home while pregnant, helped bring it over.

Jiang Yu also accompanied her.

Recently, Jiang Yu sneaked up on Su Yehao and tossed and tossed her several times. Her belly hadn't moved for two consecutive months, which made her a little depressed.

If it is postponed any longer, Nangong Tian will almost give birth to the child by then. Jiang Shiye and the others have asked quietly at home a few times, even wondering if their own daughter has "fallen out of favor".

Seeing them coming at this time, Su Yehao waved his hand and said jokingly:

"My concubine, look at the country that I have built for you. There are nearly 500 billion US dollars of wealth here, which is only half of my small goal of [-] billion US dollars."

"Okay, okay, I stared at your broken wall all day long, and told you to ignore me several times downstairs, I think the company should make less Gongdou type TV series, lest you lose your head and miss it too. Going to find so many concubines."
