Back to 1995

Chapter 856

Before the launch of smartphones, what Alcatel can do with mobile phones is to tinker, increase screen resolution, make mobile phones more powerful, and camera functions will become more and more powerful.

After a few years, American Telecom has worked out 3G communications, and Alcatel can try to launch smart phones.

Regardless of whether it is the era of feature phones or the era of smartphones, screens, chips, and cameras are one of the main selling points of a mobile phone!

For example, in the era of smart phones, manufacturers such as Sony and Sharp have become unknown. Sony can earn more than 100 billion yuan a year by selling mobile phone cameras, accounting for more than a quarter of the annual revenue. It is conceivable how much this industry has. Windfall profits.

As for Sharp, he has sold himself many times before and after, but the brand is still not down. It is not because of his feelings, but on the panel. He really has the technology that is unique in the world, but he is too arrogant and slow to respond. Then, I don’t use it myself, and I don’t let other people use it. In the end, I was played to death by myself.

After Alcatel launched the P3 mobile phone, no surprises, the last shortcoming in the feature phone era will be made up, and the mobile phone industry has officially entered the era of taking pictures.

Companies that can produce cameras at that time, such as Sony, Sharp and other manufacturers, will definitely become popular, and Zeiss and Leica, which are holding high-end camera technology, will definitely not worry about orders as long as they can put down their shelves!
At that time, Alcatel mobile phones without camera technology will be controlled by others. Even if they are not charged by Zeiss, they will probably be slaughtered if they buy from Sony, but they have to buy this thing.

Song Yang simply decided to directly let Alcatel mobile phones merge the two major companies representing high-end camera technology, Leica and Zeiss, and lock the threshold for other manufacturers to enter the high-end camera industry. In the future, except for Alcatel mobile phones, the rest Mobile phone manufacturers want to launch high-end mobile phone cameras, they must buy from Alcatel mobile phones.

At that time, Alcatel mobile phones can also allow Zeiss and Leica to occupy the high-end market of mobile phone cameras, and will never let Sony and LG rely on cameras to make a fortune again. It would be nice to be able to drink the leftover soup of Alcatel mobile phones!
Ertian has not yet adapted to the status of the head of a giant, and his life is a bit sloppy. Alcatel mobile phones have been going smoothly in the past few years, and there has been no large-scale acquisition plan. They suddenly want to acquire the optical lens industry. The two overlords, Zeiss and Leica, Ertian rubbed his hands, feeling both excited and worried at the same time.

"Zeiss and Leica are doing very well now, especially Zeiss, in addition to traditional lenses, microscopes and other products, it has also entered the semiconductor, medical and other industries, and its life is very good!
Although Leica is not as good as Zeiss, it still occupies the field of high-end cameras. It is known as the Rolls-Royce of cameras. It may cost a lot of money to acquire it! "

The century-old Kodak, known as the film leader, is still alive and well, with nearly [-] employees worldwide. When Kodak's life can no longer survive, the camera companies like Leica will probably have to tighten their belts to live.

"It is definitely worth buying Zeiss and Leica now. In the future, maybe the camera and video functions of Alcatel mobile phones can kill traditional cameras and video cameras, including Kodak!"

After finishing the last bite of barbecue, Song Yang took a sip of wine and said to Ertian.

"If one day, mobile phones can take photos comparable to or even better than SLR cameras, record long videos, and have flash, auto focus, anti-shake functions that cameras do not have, and even support background scene modes, filters, etc. Mirror, continuous shooting, motion capture, AR virtual functions, etc.

And mobile phones can modify, edit, and crop pictures and videos. Do you think that future users will choose mobile phones or ordinary cameras? ! "

Ertian swallowed unconsciously. He felt that the camera and video functions Song Yang mentioned seemed a bit of a fantasy, and he didn't know that it could only be realized in the year of the monkey.

But I can’t help but feel excited. If these things can be done, then don’t mention other light energy of the mobile phone. Just a camera function is enough for Alcatel mobile phones to play for more than ten years. Every time a new function is released, a mobile phone, Launching dozens of new models is not too much, right? !

"For this P3 conference, we can use the mobile phone that defeated Kodak to name the conference!"

Anyway, it’s just a gimmick, so it’s better to use the Alcatel P3 mobile phone as a Kodak killer to promote the future Alcatel mobile phone, which will defeat Kodak across borders!
The words are not shocking and endless, and when Kodak, the monster, falls down, it will probably make Alcatel mobile phones more famous. As for Kodak's reaction, it will be nothing more than a scolding battle. Anyway, Alcatel mobile phones are indispensable. Meat……

"These camera functions will be implemented in Alcatel mobile phones in the future. After the acquisition of Leica and Zeiss, the businesses of the two sides can be integrated, and a mobile phone camera research and development department can be established, and the world's top imaging laboratory can be established to develop mobile phones for Alcatel mobile phones. Cameras, phone camera systems, and more!"

Song Yang confessed to Ertian, anyway, Song Yang proposed the request, and he must see the results every year. If Ertian can't do it, then Song Yang doesn't mind letting Ertian retire early. Get someone who can do it!

"Mobile phone screens, chips, operating systems, camera systems, and communication technologies will all become the key factors affecting mobile phones in the future. Mobile phones will no longer be the same as the previous era where only calls and text messages can be made. If Alcatel mobile phones do not want to be abandoned by the times, they will be What other mobile phone manufacturers have surpassed, these must be done!"

Before Ertian left the villa, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. The excitement of launching a new generation of P3 mobile phones had disappeared without a trace. He suddenly found that his position as the president of Alcatel mobile phones did not look like it So steady.

Thinking of Song Yang's request, Eltien had a headache, but was a little excited. Song Yang's request was not only difficult but also a direction for Alcatel's mobile phone research and development department!
For technology companies, the most feared thing is not trouble. The day when technical problems will eventually be overcome, the most feared thing is that they have no direction, like headless chickens, and do not know which direction to develop.

Like the fruit machine of the later generations, it is the only one in the smartphone industry, but it is even more anxious. After carrying forward the set of things that Qiao Gang made to the extreme, I don’t know which direction to develop. If If you really compare it, you will find that the fruit machine has been used for many years, and nothing new has been produced!
What is even more frustrating is that the fruit machine is actually a beacon for other mobile phone manufacturers, and they are crossing the river by touching the fruit machine. The fruit machine produced a notch, which instantly became the trend of the mobile phone industry. As for whether users like this set, That's not what they need to worry about...

After Song Yang returned to San Jose, he did not appear before the mainstream media. No matter how various financial, technological, Internet and financial media reported on Song Yang's worth, Song Yang did not respond.

And many companies such as eBay, Fortinet, Yeadex, Sohu, etc. have announced their listing on Nasdaq, not only them, but also other Internet companies, including overseas companies, such as China.com, Sina, and Yahoo! And other companies are also sprinting to go public, causing the entire Internet to boil.

In the first half of this year alone, there are more than dozens or hundreds of internet companies registered on Nasdaq all over the world, and there are even groups in China to log on to Nasdaq. Many Internet companies.

As for the performance of Internet companies, except for the Federal Securities News, which only mentioned it briefly, the rest of the media, whether they didn't see it or were selectively blind, didn't report it. Which Internet company established less than a year and a half ago went public, which company's stock price hit a record high, Wall Street analysts found another company, and it was identified as the next ICQ, etc.!
In addition, in another two or three months, the election for the leadership of America will begin. The media in the entire America are eagerly waiting for the arrival of this carnival in the media world.

Members of the American states and Capitol Hill are also focusing on the general election at this time. As for the Internet, they don’t have the energy to pay attention at all. What they want are dollars and votes from the Internet industry!

Song Yang is waiting, constantly cashing out the equity in his hand, as patient as Song Yang, Paulson from Goldman Sachs, Addison from Deutsche Bank, and others are secretly preparing for it.

The mobile phone industry is waiting for Alcatel's annual new phone launch conference, which has unknowingly become one of the annual grand events in the mobile phone industry, and this year's Alcatel mobile phone has not been heard yet. At that time, the German media suddenly reported that there was a big money owner who initiated the acquisition of Zeiss, and the big money owner behind it was Alcatel mobile phone!
