Back to 1995

Chapter 719 Harvest
Money touches people's hearts, and no one does things that are not beneficial. Alcatel mobile phones are now popular. Naturally, all parties gathered here to get a share of the pie.

Mobile phone agents, dealers, retailers, contract manufacturers, Symbian system software suppliers, these companies have all been firmly bound together with Alcatel mobile phones.

The performance of the Alcatel P2 mobile phone after it went on sale far exceeded the expectations of Wall Street analysts and experts in the electronics industry, even though they had sufficiently overestimated the sales of the P2.

But the popularity of P2 is still beyond their imagination. The P2 mobile phone has set a record in the mobile phone industry, breaking the sales record of 500 million units the fastest, and rushing towards tens of millions of sales. If it is not for the production capacity, it will not be able to keep up. Probably even more amazing.

Correspondingly, the P2 mobile phone has also become the mobile phone industry with the highest unit price profit at present, because it is processed by Yanjing, and the chip, screen and system are all developed by Alcatel Mobile , When the P1 mobile phone was used, it was not so obvious. At that time, the chip technology was not yet mature, and the cost could not be suppressed.

In the era of P2 mobile phones, it has been completely revealed. The entire industrial chain is in the hands of Alcatel mobile phones. The system, main components, and technology are all owned by Alcatel mobile phones. The cost of Alcatel mobile phones has been completely suppressed. Profits began to increase substantially.

Those who follow suit are not only Alcatel itself, but also distributors and retailers who sell mobile phones can get more profits. Now mobile phone distributors are more willing to sell Alcatel phones, such as Alcatel's flagship store. Those salesmen, for more than a month, their salaries, commissions and bonuses are almost equivalent to getting half a year's salary.

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

These mobile phone manufacturers are all eagerly waiting to get the MP3 patent authorization of Alcatel mobile phone, USB data cable and other patents, and to upgrade the Symbian system!
Ertian, the president of Alcatel mobile phone, did not refuse to authorize these patents to mobile phone manufacturers such as Nokia, but claimed that Song Yang would only be able to grant them patents under the pretext of "this is a big deal".

Song Yang's trip to Italy was a tormenting process for various mobile phone manufacturers, and they waited and waited for it every day. Even though they knew that Alcatel mobile phones were delaying, they couldn't do anything about it.

MP3 technology, USB data cable, etc. are not high-tech for manufacturers such as Nokia and Motorola. They can be produced, but they cannot get the authorization of Alcatel mobile phones. Sue to death.

"President Sandor, don't worry, as soon as Director Bruno finishes signing, Alcatel will immediately license the patent to Motorola!"

After putting down the phone, Ertian, whose face was flushed and seemed to be living a very good life, got up and said to Song Yang, "Welcome Director Bruno!"

However, there was a bit of regret in the words. If Song Yang came back a few days later, he would be able to delay for a few more days. On the market, there is only one music phone P2 on sale...

Handing over a thick piece of data to Song Yang, Ertian said, "Now the global sales of Alcatel P2 mobile phones have exceeded 650 million, plus mobile phone memory cards, universal chargers, batteries and other accessories, Alcatel The revenue of Carter mobile phone on P2 has exceeded 34 billion US dollars!"

Alcatel's mobile phone is being staged. What is a real money printing machine? In less than two months, it has taken more than 30 billion US dollars. This is a coveted existence in the global electronics industry.

But Song Yang heard Ertian's words, but heard another meaning, and asked with a smile, "P1 mobile phone is also selling well?"

Ertian laughed loudly, "The sales volume of P1 mobile phones this year has exceeded 500 million units, and the revenue has exceeded 15 billion US dollars!"

After the release of the P2 mobile phone, the price of the P1 mobile phone has been greatly reduced. Basically, it has reached about 1 US dollars. , has been loosened.

I thought that after the release of the P2, it would affect the sales of the P1, but the ability of the P1 mobile phone to handle the game is too strong. "Really fragrant".

Just like fruit machines, every time a new machine is released, it is a victory for the "wait for the party". As soon as the price of the previous generation machine was reduced, countless users started to buy it, and the same is true for P1.

Those OEM manufacturers 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 a profit, but the profit will be a little less!

But no matter how small a mosquito is, it’s still meat. Which manufacturer is willing to spit out the meat it gets.

But this is a happy trouble for Alcatel mobile phones. It was originally planned to upgrade the P1 production line, or dismantle it and replace it with P2, but it has not been able to proceed now. It is a bit slow to increase the production capacity of P2 mobile phones.

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

Ertian said that from P1 to P2, Ertian felt that he had enough stock, but it turned out that he was too conservative.

Listening to Ertian's words, Song Yang took a look at the documents. Alcatel mobile phone is now on the right track. No one will say that Alcatel mobile phone is a grassroots team. Like Nokia, Motorola, etc., they have become one of the giants in the mobile phone industry!

After closing the document, Song Yang looked at Ertian and saw the white hair on his head. He knew that his life in the past two years was probably walking on thin ice. If he doesn't get anything in return, he will be the first to be unlucky, and he will probably 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.

"Preparing to implement option incentives, the management and technical department personnel are all within the scope of option incentives this time, and of course including Ertian, the board of directors of Alcatel Mobile will reward you with 1% of Alcatel Mobile's equity !"

Hearing this, Elthian's heart beat even more violently. Alcatel mobile phones are no better than double-click, ICQ, etc. At that time, Irene, Wesley and others were given 5% of ICQ shares to stabilize the morale of the army. , Tell ICQ to everyone, 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 mobile phone is completely different. This is a real money printing machine, and it may become more and more profitable in the future.

Now Alcatel's valuation is comparable to that of Nokia and Motorola. Nokia's market value has reached 3000 billion euros. Alcatel's mobile phone valuation, even if it is not as good as Nokia's market value, will not differ too much.

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

"Thank you, President Bruno!" Elthian blushed and couldn't suppress his joy, and said to Song Yang.

"The bonuses should be distributed as soon as possible, and the staff in the technical department should prepare a vacation, so that they can take their families on a trip, and the expenses will be reimbursed by Alcatel Mobile!"

Now that the bonus is mentioned, it should be paid as soon as possible. There is no point in delaying the time, and maybe there will be complaints, so it is better to send it directly.

The technical department is now the most important department of Alcatel mobile phones. It is counting on those technicians to let Alcatel mobile phones compete with Nokia, Motorola, etc. Naturally, it is necessary to continuously improve the salary.

This is also a lot of money to buy horse bones, to let the technicians of other mobile phone companies know that only with 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. In the entire electronics industry circle, there will be a public opinion that Alcatel mobile phones are the best place for technicians. Forming a siphon phenomenon, countless technicians regard Alcatel mobile phones as their first choice, and only those who cannot get into Alcatel mobile phones will go to other mobile phone brands!

"Alcatel's mobile phone headquarters building can also be built. I hope this building will become one of the symbols of the electronics industry!"

Building the headquarters building has always been one of Elthian's wishes. He hopes to let Alcatel Mobile leave his mark during his tenure.

Ertian 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 a symbol of the mobile phone industry, and even San Jose and America. One of the buildings!"

Listening to Ertian's words, Song Yang finally didn't take the Alcatel mobile phone headquarters building. Compared with the World Trade Center building in New York, Song Yang was so happy that he let it go.

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

"The next-generation Alcatel P3 mobile phone, if it is the world's first camera phone!"

Song Yang explained to Elthian that mobile phone networks, music players, and camera phones are basically the standard configuration of future generations of mobile phones, and they will develop in the future. Before entering the era of smart phones, basically they can't play too much If the flower is alive, it is to fight the appearance design of the mobile phone.

Alcatel mobile phone wants to lead the trend of the mobile phone era, and it has only been a year or two. In the remaining few years, it will basically have to pay for a few years, and then enter the era of smart phones and become the leader again.

At that time, it will be sewing and mending again, and it will be more than ten years old. At that time, the Alcatel mobile phone is basically a money-making machine. As for the next mobile phone era, it will be decades later. Egypt Ertian has retired long ago, and Song Yang doesn't care about those anymore, is there a thousand red flowers in the world?

Hearing that the next generation of Alcatel mobile phones will be equipped with camera technology, Ertian kept it in mind. Anyway, if there are too many lice, he is not afraid of biting, and if there are too many opponents, he does not care about one or two more. The industry, which is brewing a war with digital music, regards MP2 as a scourge.

When it comes to P3 mobile phones, it is going to war with the camera and film industry. Alcatel mobile phones don't care about provoking an industry...

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

When Song Yang was about to get up and leave, Ertian asked Song Yang, pinching the MP3 patent was equivalent to pinching the fate 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 Nokia, Motorola and other manufacturers have delivered their products to the door and stretched out their necks to be slaughtered. At this time, it is unreasonable not to kill them.

MP3 is just a music format. Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson and other mobile phone brands can’t stop them from launching music phones. They can’t use MP3 patents. They can tinker with MP4, WAV, WMA and other formats instead of waiting for Nokia. Waiting for manufacturers to abandon MP3 technology, it is better to charge an extra patent fee, Alcatel mobile phone and Symbian music store, and then pinch the patents of WAV and other formats, and then get a hold of them...

When Song Yang left Elthian's office and headed towards PA Semiconductor, the news that Alcatel mobile phone was about to issue equity rewards and huge bonuses had already started to spread, and the entire industrial park suddenly erupted into a burst of cheers 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, seeing this When I heard the news, I suddenly felt sour!
They are all working in the mobile phone industry. The technicians of Alcatel mobile phones are generally more than 10% higher than those of other manufacturers. Now they have to implement huge rewards and options, as well as various benefits and benefits. Remuneration, travel reimbursement for the whole family is fine. If you become an intermediate technician of Alcatel Mobile, Alcatel Mobile will also provide medical insurance, education funds, housing subsidies, transportation bonuses, etc. for the whole family.

This makes the personnel of other mobile phone manufacturers panic. Although the technical departments of major mobile phone manufacturers have not yet experienced large-scale resignations and rushed to Alcatel mobile phone manufacturers, the hearts of the technical departments of other mobile phone industries have already The hearts of those who were tossed by the Alcatel mobile phone were scattered...

　I’m sorry everyone, I’ve encountered a very important matter. I was dealing with it yesterday. When I turned on the computer a few times, I was so upset that I couldn’t write at all. I just calmed down today. I’m sorry everyone, I’m really sorry!
