Back To 1995

   Chapter 719 Harvest

  Wealth and silk move people’s hearts. No one will do things that are not good for them. Alcatel mobile phones are now a sweet treat. Naturally, all parties come together and want to share a piece of the pie.

  Mobile phone agents, distributors, retailers, OEMs, Symbian system software suppliers, these companies have all been firmly bound to Alcatel mobile phones.

  Alcatel's P2 mobile phone, after its launch, far exceeded the expectations of Wall Street analysts and electronics industry experts, even if they had already overestimated the sales of P2.

But the popularity of P2 still exceeded their imagination. The P2 mobile phone set a new record in the mobile phone industry, breaking the sales record of 5 million units at the fastest, and rushing towards the sales volume of 10 million units. Sales could be even more staggering.

Correspondingly, the P2 mobile phone has also become the mobile phone industry, currently the most profitable machine, because it is processed in Yanjing, plus the chip, the screen and the system are all developed by Alcatel Mobile. , When the P1 mobile phone was used, it was not very obvious. At that time, the chip technology was not mature enough, and the cost could not be suppressed.

In the era of P2 mobile phones, it has been completely revealed. The entire industry chain is entirely in the hands of Alcatel mobile phones. The system, main components and technologies are all owned by themselves, so that the cost of Alcatel mobile phones has been completely suppressed. Profits began to rise substantially.

Along with taking advantage, not only Alcatel Mobile itself, but also the channel dealers and retailers who sell mobile phones can also get more revenue. Now mobile phone channel dealers are more willing to sell Alcatel phones, such as those in Alcatel flagship stores. Those salesmen, in the past month or so, have received salary, commissions and bonuses, which is almost equivalent to half a year's salary.

   For Song Yang's return to San Jose, what he is most looking forward to is not the Alcatel mobile phone side, but other mobile phone brands that are waiting to be seen, including Nokia and Motorola.

  These mobile phone manufacturers are eagerly waiting to get the MP3 patent authorization of Alcatel mobile phones, USB data cables and other patents, and upgrade the Symbian system!

  Alcatel Mobile President Ertian did not refuse to authorize these patents to Nokia and other mobile phone manufacturers, but on the pretext of "this is a big deal", he claimed that they would be granted patents only after Song Yang's signature.

  Song Yang's trip to Italy was a tormenting process for various mobile phone manufacturers. Every day, they wanted to see what they wanted. Even if they knew that the Alcatel mobile phone was delaying, they could not do anything about it.

MP3 technology, USB data cables, etc. are not high-tech for manufacturers such as Nokia and Motorola. They can be produced without the authorization of Alcatel mobile phones. If they dare to sell them, they will be waiting for Alcatel mobile phones. Get a lawsuit and die.

   "President Sandel, don't worry, as long as the director of Bruno signs the signature, Alcatel will immediately license the patent to Motorola!"

   After putting down the phone, Eltien, who looked red and seemed to be living a good life, got up and said to Song Yang, "Welcome Director Bruno!"

   But there is a bit of regret between the words. If Song Yang comes back a few days later, he will be able to delay it for a few more days. On the market, there is only one music phone P2 on sale...

After handing over a thick piece of data to Song Yang, Eltien said, "Now the global sales of Alcatel P2 mobile phones have exceeded 6.5 million, plus mobile phone memory cards, universal chargers, batteries, etc. Accessories, the revenue of Alcatel mobile phones on P2 has exceeded 3.4 billion US dollars!"

  Alcatel mobile phone, is being staged, what is a real money printing machine, in less than two months, it has collected more than three billion dollars. This is a coveted existence in the global electronics industry.

   While listening to Ertian's words, Song Yang heard another meaning and asked with a smile, "P1 phones are also selling well?"

  Erthien laughed, "The sales of P1 mobile phones this year have exceeded 5 million units, and the revenue has exceeded 1.5 billion US dollars!"

After the P2 mobile phone was released, the price of the P1 mobile phone was greatly reduced, basically to about 300 US dollars. In order to boost sales, some channel providers will hold some promotions, and the price will be lower. The price control of P1 mobile phones and Alcatel mobile phones , has been loosened.

I thought that after the release of the P2, it would affect the sales of the P1, but the P1 mobile phone's ability to carry and fight is too strong, and the sales volume does not drop but rises. "Really fragrant".

  Like a fruit machine, every time a new machine is released, it is a victory of the "waiting party". As soon as the price of the previous generation machine is reduced, countless user cards start to start, and the same is true for the P1.

Those manufacturers who were OEMs in the past were planning to dismantle the P1 production line, but now they are completely reluctant. The technology of the P1 mobile phone is fully mature, and the output is much higher than that of the P2. Even if the profit drops, it will not lose money. Even if the price is reduced to 199 US dollars, manufacturers in the entire industry chain will make money, but they will only earn a few points less!

   But no matter how small the mosquito is, it is not meat. Which manufacturer is willing to spit out the meat that is in hand.

   But for Alcatel mobile phones, it is a happy trouble. It was originally planned to upgrade the P1 production line, or dismantle and replace it with P2, but it has not been carried out now. The production capacity of P2 mobile phones has been increased, which is a bit slower.

   "Now, the most important thing is to increase the production capacity of P2 mobile phones. The phone is not enough to sell now!"

  Erthien said that from P1 to P2, Ertien felt that he had enough stockings, but it turned out that he was too conservative.

Listening to Ertien's words, Song Yang glanced at the documents. Alcatel mobile phones are now on the right track, and no one will say that Alcatel mobile phones are a grass-roots team, and they are on the right track. Like Nokia, Motorola, etc., it has become one of the giants in the mobile phone industry!

Closing the document, Song Yang looked at Eltien and saw the white hair on his head. Knowing that he had lived on thin ice in the past two years, Alcatel's previous investment of more than one billion dollars a year, If there is no reward, the first unlucky person will be him, and it is estimated that he will be nailed to the pillar of shame in the electronics industry.

   "President Ertian!"

  Song Yang said to him, hearing this, Ertian's heart trembled inexplicably.

"Prepare to implement option incentives. The management and technical department personnel are all within the scope of the option incentives this time. Of course, including you, Eltien, the board of directors of Alcatel Mobile will reward you with 1% of the shares of Alcatel Mobile. !"

Hearing this, Eldie's head jumped, and it became more violent. Alcatel mobile phones are not as good as the original double-click, ICQ, etc. At that time, Irene, Wesley and others were given 5% of the ICQ equity to stabilize the military. , told ICQ that as long as you stay in ICQ and work hard, you will definitely have meat to eat. ICQ's valuation at that time was only a few hundred million dollars.

   But the Alcatel phone is completely different, this is a real money printing machine, and it may become more and more profitable in the future.

Now the valuation of Alcatel is comparable to that of Nokia and Motorola. The market value of Nokia has reached 200 to 300 billion euros. Even if the valuation of Alcatel mobile phones is not comparable to that of Nokia, it will not be too different. .

  1% stake in Alcatel mobile phone is enough to make Ertian's worth soar a lot, and retirement and retirement are no longer necessary to worry about.

   "Thank you, President Bruno!" Eltien said to Song Yang with flushed face, unable to contain his joy.

   "The bonus should also be distributed as soon as possible, and all of it should be distributed to the technical department personnel to prepare a vacation, so that they can take their family on a trip together, and the cost will be reimbursed by Alcatel Mobile!"

   Bonuses, since we have said that, we should send them out as soon as possible. Delaying that time is meaningless. Maybe we will end up complaining.

   The technical department, which is now the most important department of Alcatel mobile phones, relies on those technical personnel to make Alcatel mobile phones compete with Nokia and Motorola. Naturally, they must continuously improve their treatment.

   This is also a lot of money to buy horse bones, so that those technicians from other mobile phone companies know that only in Alcatel mobile phones can they be valued, whether it is fame, fortune or treatment.

In the first year, it may not be effective, but it will only last for two, three, or even ten years, and it will form in the entire electronics industry. A siphon phenomenon is formed, and countless technicians regard Alcatel mobile phones as their first choice. Only those who cannot access Alcatel mobile phones will go to other mobile phone brands!

   "Alcatel Mobile Headquarters Building can also be built. I hope this building will become one of the symbols of the electronics industry!"

   The construction of the headquarters building has always been one of Ertien’s wishes. He hopes to leave his mark on Alcatel mobile phones when he takes office.

Eltien stood up and assured Song Yang, "I will invite the best designers in the world to design the headquarters building for Alcatel Mobile, this building will become the symbol of the mobile phone industry, and even San Jose and America. One of the buildings!"

   Listening to Ertien's words, he finally didn't take the Alcatel Mobile Headquarters Building. Compared with the World Trade Center building in New York, Song Yang was so happy that he put it down.

   "After the technical department is on vacation, we will start the research and development of the next-generation P3 phone immediately. In terms of mobile phone technology, Alcatel mobile phones must maintain an absolute lead!"

   "The next generation of Alcatel P3 phone, if the world's first camera phone!"

Song Yang explained to Ertien that mobile Internet, music players, and camera phones are basically the standard equipment of later generations of mobile phones. If they develop later, they will basically not be able to play too much before entering the era of smart phones. After spending time, it is to fight the design of the mobile phone.

  Alcatel mobile phone wants to lead the trend of the mobile phone era. It only takes one or two years. For the remaining few years, it will basically take a few years of old capital, and then enter the era of smart phones and become the leader again.

At that time, it will be a matter of stitching and repairing, and eating more than ten years of old capital. At that time, Alcatel mobile phones were basically money-making machines. As for the next mobile phone era, it will be a matter of decades. Ertian has long since retired, and Song Yang can't care about that anymore. Is there a flower that blooms for a thousand days in the world?

Hearing that the next generation of Alcatel mobile phones needs to develop camera technology, Eldine kept it in mind. Anyway, if there are too many lice, I am not afraid of biting, and I don’t care if there are more opponents. The P2 phone has moved the cake of the record industry, and now the record The industry, which is brewing a war with digital music, regards MP3 as a beast.

   When it comes to P3 mobile phones, it is about war with the camera and film industries, and Alcatel mobile phones don’t care about provoke an industry…

   "Do you want to license the MP3 patent to Nokia and Motorola?"

   When Song Yang was about to get up and leave, Eltien asked Song Yang, holding the MP3 patent, which was equivalent to holding the door of other mobile phone manufacturers.

   After pondering for a while, Song Yang still said, "Let's authorize them, but the patent fee can be increased!"

   Now it is Nokia, Motorola and other manufacturers, who come to the door and stretch out their necks to be slaughtered. At this time, it is unreasonable not to slaughter a knife.

MP3 is just a music format. Mobile phone brands such as Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson, etc., want to launch music mobile phones. Waiting for manufacturers to abandon MP3 technology, it is better to charge an extra patent fee, Alcatel mobile phone and Saipan music store, and then hold the format patents such as WAV, and then take them again...

When Song Yang left Ertien's office and went to PA Semiconductor, the news that Alcatel Mobile was going to carry out equity awards and give out huge bonuses had already begun to spread, and the entire industrial park burst into a huge cheer. Voice.

In the major electronic forums and technology circles in America, there are also rumors that Alcatel mobile phones will be awarded tens of millions of dollars in bonuses to executives and technical departments. Technicians of other major mobile phone brands see this. When the news came, I suddenly felt a sour feeling!

People are more likely to die than people. They all work in the mobile phone industry. The technical staff of Alcatel mobile phones are generally more than 10% higher than those of other manufacturers. Now there are huge rewards and options, as well as various benefits and benefits. If you become an Alcatel mobile intermediate technician, Alcatel Mobile will also provide medical insurance, education funds, housing subsidies, and transportation bonuses for the whole family.

This has made the people of other mobile phone manufacturers panic. Although the technical departments of major mobile phone manufacturers have not yet experienced large-scale departures and rushed to Alcatel mobile phone manufacturers, the people of other mobile phone industry technical departments have already The hearts of those who were tossed by Alcatel mobile phones are scattered...

   I'm sorry everyone, I encountered a very important and important matter. I was dealing with it yesterday. I turned on the computer several times, and I was so confused that I couldn't write it at all. I only calmed down today. I'm sorry everyone, I'm really sorry!
