Chapter 485 Targeting Android Companies

"Mr. Gao, I think your idea is very good. A mobile phone in the 3G era should be a mobile microcomputer. However, this involves the selection of mobile phone chips, storage chips, and operating systems. Do you have any ideas?

?”

In Hu Yang's memory, the first commercial smartphone was the first-generation "Ai Crazy" launched by the Fruit Company. This machine had its own unique operating system and was incompatible with Android, which later became popular.

"Mr. Hu, we already have a plan for the hardware, but we don't have a better choice for the operating system."

After the dinner party, Gao Mingkang came to Hu Yang's office, and the two sat in the tea room drinking tea and chatting.

Gao Mingkang has actually done a lot of work in advance for the arrival of the 3G era. For example, he reached a cooperation agreement with ARM two years ago, and based on obtaining the ARM architecture authorization, he actively carried out independent research and development of mobile phone chips.

However, there is nothing he can do about the current operating system based on smartphones. Compared with hardware, the domestic operating system is still further behind.

In addition, mobile operating systems are still a new thing. At least Gao Mingkang has never heard of "Android system".

"Is it possible that Android hasn't come out yet?"

Hu Yang thought about it, and it was really possible. Google had just gone public not long ago, and it was still focusing on building a search engine. In other words, Google hadn’t acquired the Android company yet?

He decided to ask North American Venture Capital to learn more about the situation.

After leaving the investment building with Gao Mingkang, Hu Yang called Xia Bing when she got home and asked her to notify the North American company to find a software company called Android.

The next day.

Gao Mingkang introduced the development plan of Mingkang Communication. In the future, the company will use communication equipment (mainly base stations) and smartphones as its two main lines, and strive to achieve more than 70% autonomy in key components.

Leaving aside communication equipment, in terms of smartphones, the company focuses on research and development of mobile phone chips, and what is in reserve is the operating system.

After talking to Hu Yang last night, Gao Mingkang wondered whether he should acquire a small software company abroad and start trying to develop a mobile operating system.

Having known Hu Yang for a long time, it is difficult not to be influenced by him. Gao Mingkang has a strong sense of crisis. Therefore, Gao Mingkang attaches great importance to independence and control, and has been working hard to improve the localization of the company's products.

Today's meeting was a very lively discussion. Gao Mingkang only came down from the stage after answering more than twenty questions.

Facing the 3G era, each company has its own plan. How to get as many pieces as possible from this trillion-level cake is their ultimate goal.

After so many years of layout, Huijia Department has formed a relatively complete industrial chain.

Mincom Communications is not only one of the three major domestic communication equipment providers, but also participated in the formulation of 3G standards. The company's base station products can not only seize a large market share in the country, but also have a place in the international market.

Gao Mingkang is now actively promoting the research and development of mobile phone chips. After success, it can be handed over to Xentong International for OEM.

As for the storage chips (flash memory) required for smartphones, Charming Semiconductor's technical level is not bad and can completely replace some imported products.

The 3C OEM capabilities of Nishite Technology can meet the needs of the production of mobile phone products such as Mingkang Communications, various products of Charming Electronics, and Ark Computer series products.

In this way, this industrial chain has basically realized a closed cycle, and its ability to resist risks has been greatly improved.

Of course, at this stage, it is not necessary for every link to be localized. What should be imported can still be imported. But it must be ensured that once the external environment changes, all parts and components have alternatives.

After two days of meetings, each company in the Huijia family has basically clarified their respective development paths. This kind of exchange is very necessary, as it allows people to look at the prospects of new technologies from a broader perspective.

In the afternoon, the meeting ended, and many people flew back to their respective company locations overnight despite their hard work.

"Mr. Hu, I will go to see the construction status of the 6th generation production line tomorrow, and then return to the capital. Really, I think some things are really God's will. If our 6th generation line has not started construction, we will definitely miss a lot of opportunities."

As the largest provider of display devices in China, Oriental Technology will provide mobile phone screens in the future. There is no doubt how important mobile phone screens are. The key thing is to avoid certain international giants from getting stuck.

Liu Jin saw huge business opportunities through the two-day meeting, and he decided to speed up the construction process of the 6th generation tft-lcd production line.

"Mr. Liu, you are busy with your business. If anything happens, we will contact you again."

Hu Yang said goodbye to everyone at the door of the conference room. The party originally planned for the evening had to be cancelled.

A week has passed.

News came from North America that North American venture capital has found the company called "Android" and has begun to try to contact them.

"Mr. Hu, this Android company was only established last year. The founder is a former Microsoft employee. They recently developed an operating system that can be used for mobile phones, but other aspects are lackluster."

Xia Bing specially came to Shenhai from Yangcheng to report the progress of this matter to Hu Yang.

“Is it possible to acquire this company?”

It's not that Hu Yang has no confidence in his own strength, but in Lao America. Lao America is very guarded in terms of technology. Once they think that the acquisition may have an impact on themselves, they will definitely veto the acquisition.

"At present, the possibility of a successful acquisition is still very high. After all, this company is unknown and its scale is small. North American Venture Capital has made a preliminary calculation and the cost of acquiring this company is about 10 million.

Between US$ and US$2,000.”

Xia Bing told the truth that she didn't find it difficult to acquire this company.

"Well, Mr. Xia, you continue to follow up on this matter. Once the other party agrees, you must notify me as soon as possible. In addition, if it is the purchase price, we will throw money at it. If 10 million US dollars is not enough, just 20 million.

30 million or even 50 million.”

For the time being, Android Company has not expressed its intention to acquire the company, so Hu Yang asked Xia Bing and North American Venture Capital to continue to maintain contact with each other.

In this matter, Hu Yang decided to adopt a "violent acquisition" plan. He had no other choice but to spend money. Even if he invested 100 million US dollars, he would win the company.

For Populus euphratica, what is money used for? Isn’t it used to convince people with reason (money)?

"Okay, Mr. Hu, I understand. I will go to North America in the next two days to catch this matter myself."

Xia Bing could feel that Hu Yang attached great importance to this small acquisition, and she decided to personally take charge of the negotiations with Android Company.

"Then it's hard on you. I'll ask Assistant Wu to help you apply for a route later. You can take the company's Dassault 2000 to North America."

Hu Yang currently owns two business jets. In addition to the Gulfstream G550 aircraft he uses, he also has a Dassault Falcon 2000 aircraft.

Xia Bing didn't show any pretense, she said "ok" and returned to Yangcheng to make preparations.

Wu Xinhui applied for a flight route three days later, and Xia Bing led a negotiation team to fly directly to North America.

Hu Yang actually had no idea whether he could successfully acquire the Android company. But no matter what, he had to give it a try.

After Xia Bing left, Hu Yang has not been idle. These days, he has been paying attention to when the country will issue 3G licenses.

In fact, from the release of 3G standards, to the successive issuance of licenses by various countries, to the launch of 3G mobile phones, this all requires a process.

At present, Gao Mingkang should be the first to get busy. The construction of 3G network must use base stations. This is the first piece of the whole cake to be cut.

But the entire industry chain must be activated from now on. Those who develop chips and components, those who develop 3G mobile phones... In short, someone has to do every link in this chain. This is not a single company or company.

Which group can accomplish things alone? From domestic to foreign countries, Huijia is definitely not the only one who sees the future prospects of 3G.

"Mr. Hu, the mutton flown from Xijiang has arrived today. Will you go home for dinner tonight?"

Before getting off work, Wu Xinhui specially reminded Populus euphratica. Populus euphratica loves to eat beef and mutton from Xijiang, and Xijiang will often fly some over there.

Speaking of this, Chen Jialin even laughed at him. After eating so many top delicacies in the world, why do he still think about the local specialties from his hometown?

Hu Yang didn't even bother to argue with him. Things like food still depend on personal taste.

"I haven't mentioned it yet. Let's have a pot of mutton stew tonight and some kebabs. Assistant Wu, will you join us?"

For this purpose, Populus euphratica specially found a chef who was good at cooking mutton. This man had worked at Xijiang Hotel before, but later resigned and came to Shenhai. He was recruited by Populus euphratica last year.

Wu Xinhui smiled guiltily: "Mr. Hu, I won't disturb your enjoyment of the food. I want to go out for a walk tonight."

Hu Yang knew that Wu Xinhui couldn't eat mutton, so what he said just now was blurted out without thinking.

"Hey, that's fine, it's up to you."

Hu Yang simply tidied up and left the office. By the time he got home, dinner was almost ready.

"A Yang, we can eat in half an hour. You should take a rest first."

Tian Sichun often stays here recently. She found that after leaving school, she had nothing to do and occasionally felt bored.

The reason why it is occasional is because she still needs to spare some time and energy to think about how to decorate the new house.

"Chunchun, come and sit down. We will go to the new house to check out the weekend. After New Year's Day, let's get married."

Tian Sichun will definitely not rush Hu Yang, but Hu Yang always remembers this promise in his heart. He also feels that with the development of his career, marriage is really necessary.

The joy on Tian Sichun's face flashed away, and then he said with a smile: "Well, I will listen to you on this matter."
