Chapter 482 World Mobile Phone Market Pattern in 2002
On the next day, doctors from the Municipal Infectious Disease Hospital took the suspected patient Yu Feihong back to the hospital for isolation and conducted large-scale routine screening among the people on the special flight.
This action inevitably caused a commotion among the quarantined people, and rumors flew everywhere.
On the third and fourth days, no new cases of fever appeared, and everyone's mood gradually stabilized.
Amid the panic of the wind and rain
The room on the top floor where Wang Yaocheng was located seemed like a paradise, quiet and peaceful.
As the big BOSS, Wang Yaocheng enjoys the best VIP service and will be notified of any news as soon as possible.
I wake up in the morning and take a hot bath, feeling refreshed throughout the day. Three delicious meals are delivered to my door on time every day. I feel pretty good about enjoying the life of a rice bug without leaving home.
Others do not have such conditions. There were more than 40 people on the special plane, and hundreds of passengers from other places were all quarantined and observed. No airport can provide very good rest conditions.
room
Since I can't go out for the time being, I can calm down and think about business development.
Wang Yaocheng was wearing soft and loose casual clothes, with his two long legs relaxed on the couch, with a thick pillow behind his back. His hair, which had just been bathed and was not completely dry, was combed back casually.
There was a cup of fragrant black tea brewing on the coffee table. Wang Yaocheng was sitting on the sofa looking at his laptop, typing the keyboard with flying hands, making a random "crackling" sound.
early April
Carrefour Supermarket Group will be listed simultaneously in mainland China and Hong Kong, issuing no more than 40% of the total share capital. The issue price is 28 yuan per share, and 3 billion shares will raise a total of 84 billion yuan for corporate expansion and development.
Based on this calculation, the market value of Carrefour Supermarket Group exceeds 200 billion yuan, about 26 billion US dollars.
The current IPO is progressing smoothly, with many large domestic institutions and foreign investors actively subscribing. It has been oversubscribed by 8.5 times, which is a good start for the next step of centralized listing of enterprises.
mid april
High-end mobile phone brand Polaroid will officially enter the international market and release its first mobile phone product.
By then
The Polaroid mobile phone will make its debut during the New York Summer Fashion Week. With the support of many big-name models and international movie stars, it will establish its status as a fashionable high-end mobile phone.
The American-based Stat Group, which is well-known for its market research and market consulting, published its market forecast for 2003 on March 14;
In 2003, mobile phone sales in the global market will reach 620 to 700 million units, and 260 million mobile phones will be sold in the United States alone, while in 1999 this number was only 77 million units.
In-Stat Company Forecast;
As mobile phone prices become cheaper and cheaper, coupled with the expansion of service scope, reduction of service fees and reduction of mobile roaming fees, the popularity of mobile phones has surged.
From a global perspective
The demand for mobile phones will continue to increase in the future. In addition, because the third generation mobile phones and even the transitional mobile phones from the second generation to the third generation have the function of browsing information wirelessly, they are more convenient to use.
All these reasons will drive further increase in demand for mobile phones in the next four years.
Now, the international mobile phone market presents a pattern of two superpowers and multiple strong players.
Nokia, which is committed to low-end and mid-range as well as high-end mobile phones, continues to lead the way. In 2002, it sold 163 million mobile phones and continued to maintain its position as the market leader.
Ranked second is the OPPO brand mobile phone, which continued to shine in 2002 and firmly occupied the top position in the high-end market.
In 2002, OPPO focused on the mid-range market with its V3 mobile phone and the high-end market with its V4 mobile phone. Together with other differentiated products, OPPO sold a total of 133 million mobile phones throughout the year, closely following Nokia in second place.
These two leading companies in the mobile phone field account for almost 64.2% of the market share and take away most of the profits.
Ranking third to tenth are Motorola, Dell, Siemens, Samsung, LG, Panda, Sony Ericsson, and Playboy.
There is not much market share left for the three to ten companies ranked in the rankings to compete for. The third-ranked Motorola mobile phone is in obvious decline. It sold only 47 million mobile phones throughout the year, far behind the top two.
Motorola's ambitious Iridium satellite project actually suffered a disastrous failure. The huge R&D expenses and satellite launch expenses could not be recovered, and the company's finances had a shockingly large hole.
at the same time
The planned flagship product, the V3 mobile phone, was stillborn before it was even born. It was released first by the OPPO brand, putting Motorola in an awkward position and facing the situation of having no successor.
The accumulation of various factors caused Motorola to record a large loss in 2002, with the annual loss reaching US$1.12 billion.
Among the top ten mobile phone manufacturers, Motorola is the only one to lose money. The stock performance in the market has been hit again and it has become a hot potato that everyone is afraid of avoiding.
At this time, Royal Fund once again introduced the Polaroid brand mobile phone to the market, which intensified the already fierce market competition.
A dispassionate observer can discover;
The mobile phone brands owned by Royal Fund occupy the second, fourth, eighth and tenth positions respectively, occupying four seats among the top ten mobile phone manufacturers, and their strength is extremely strong.
In particular, the fourth-ranked Dell brand mobile phone has great stamina. With annual sales of 37.6 million units, it is closely following the established mobile phone manufacturer Motorola in fourth place.
It is conceivable that in 2003, the Dell brand mobile phone offensive became more and more fierce, and Motorola might not be able to maintain its third position.
The Panda brand mobile phone, which was just released last year, has achieved sales of more than 8 million units in just over eight months by virtue of its low price and high quality, ranking eighth. It is really awesome!
Royal Fund has mastered advanced wireless communication technology and has world-class mass production capabilities. Through copy and paste methods, it can continuously produce multiple brands of advanced mobile phone products.
Just like assembly line products, they can be sold as long as they are marked with different brand logos.
This kind of advantage of a group going global is something that other independent brands cannot envy.
From the perspective of the existing system of mobile phones;
Only the top-ranked Nokia mobile phone stubbornly uses the Symbian system, which brings a poor user experience. The Internet is not only slow but also stuck, the page opening speed is crazy, and a picture cannot even be opened in five minutes.
The open source Android system is used by mobile phone manufacturers ranging from the second to the tenth, especially the OPPO brand V4 mobile phone. The Internet is so smooth and exciting that a picture can be opened in more than 10 seconds.
The Symbian system was reduced to rubbish in minutes, and there is no comparison at all.
As for downloading videos, well... one movie takes about a little over 21 hours.
Not enough compared to the previous ones, but more than enough compared to the inferior ones!
Coupled with the large number of open source Android system APP developers, a complete ecological chain has been formed, which can provide mobile phone users with a variety of software applications and win unanimous praise from users.
Totally predictable;
If Nokia phones don't change course and adopt a more user-friendly Android system, the future may be very bleak.
Except for old-fashioned feature phones, Nokia still maintains a great advantage. In the field of new generation digital mobile phones, it is completely crushed by its competitor OPPO brand.
The so-called Symbian system is completely a scam.
early may
GREE Group will be listed simultaneously in the Mainland and Hong Kong, issuing no more than 40% of the total share capital, with an issue price of 12.5 yuan per share, and 8 billion shares to raise a total of 100 billion yuan in funds for corporate expansion and development.
Based on this calculation, the market value of Green Group exceeds 250 billion yuan, about 30 billion U.S. dollars.
After the stock issuance, the largest shareholder Royal Fund will still hold 56.2% of the shares and maintain its controlling shareholder status.
mid may
After suspension and reorganization, TSMC will issue new shares in Taipei and New York at the same time, issuing no more than 20% of the total share capital. The issue price is US$33 per share, raising a total of US$5.2 billion in funds for the construction of a new 12-inch wafer fab project.
and supplement working capital.
Based on this calculation, TSMC’s market value is approximately US$27 billion.
After the issuance of new shares, the shareholding ratio of the largest shareholder Royal Fund was reduced to 52.3%, and it still holds absolute control.
These are several heavyweight listing plans in the first half of the year. In the second half of the year, companies such as Panda Electronics and Alibaba are lining up to list on the NASDAQ market in New York.
Because of Wang Yaocheng's deliberate suppression, Google's listing plan was postponed to 2004.
before that
The two co-founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, need to be kicked off the Google board of directors to fully control this Internet giant company with unlimited possibilities, so that it can develop smoothly according to their own wishes.
From another perspective;
Google has a mysterious heavyweight investor. In order to ensure that the secrets are not leaked, the two Google co-founders must be asked to leave, otherwise there will be no way around them.
What measures should be taken?
Wang Yaocheng hesitated for a long time and decided to leave this conflict to the Americans to handle themselves. They would be the bad guys themselves and be responsible for taking over the company.
We are businessmen, not bad people, and we must not get involved in bad things.
Just do it if you want to do it.
"Crackling" quickly typed out an email, mentioning his thoughts in a vague way. Presumably the other party should understand the meaning, and sent it through an encrypted signal to a mysterious mailbox on the other side of the Pacific.
Wang Yaocheng finally hit the send button, leaned comfortably on the square pillow, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Done!
Google's Series B financing can be postponed to June at the latest, and its Series C financing will be almost at the end of the year. After all procedures are completed, it can be listed on the market in 2004. It will first raise a large amount of money and then talk about it.
If the discussed plan is followed, Larry Page and Sergey Brin must be secured before early June, which is a piece of cake for mysterious investors with huge government power.
If he couldn't handle such a small thing, Wang Yaocheng would absolutely despise him.
Taking another sip from the tea cup, Wang Yaocheng stood up in a good mood and began to exercise around the room, trotting with his legs raised high. Although he was trapped here and couldn't get out, he must train his body well!
Didn't you see it?
There are several charming wives out there waiting to be favored, and it is impossible not to have a good body.
After jogging for a while, Wang Yaocheng's body became hot and he gradually began to sweat, and he began to exercise more vigorously.
