Vol 6 Chapter 214: origin

When smart phones are becoming more and more popular, I believe that many Android users may have thought about a question, can the free and open source Android make money?

If you make money, how much can you make?

Feng Yiping also thought about this question. Of course, he mainly thought about the latter question. As for the former question, should I still think about it?

Later, the old horse who became famous once said the truth, "Free is the most expensive thing in the world!"

All of Gein's domestic BATs have grown up with free strategies.

Although Google has always advertised itself as a company with ideals and pursuits, as long as it is a company, it is absolutely impossible to make a loss-making business.

So Feng Yiping knew very well at the time that Android would definitely bring high profits to Google, but he didn't know how high it could be.

However, although it is not clear, he still has a general guess about the relevant amount. The cardinal, Zhou Doushi's 360, is a good exhibit.

It also started for free and advertised 360 as serving the people everywhere. Before Feng Yiping was reborn, its market value on the NYSE was close to 10 billion US dollars.

Considering that the number of users of 360 software is obviously much less than that of Google, and investors are highly recognized by American high-tech companies, if Android is also listed and its market value is 10 times that of 360, it is really not difficult.

That is, if the later Android is listed, the market value will definitely be more than 100 billion US dollars. Based on the average price-earnings ratio of nearly 20 times in the US stocks, Android's net profit for one year is at least 5 billion US dollars.

If you consider the Android application market, the net profit is a multiple of 5 billion, it is really hard to say.

If he has not been reborn in 14 years and will continue to pay attention to these issues later, he will know that the profits that Android brings to Google are far beyond his imagination.

In 16 years, in a patent lawsuit common to American high-tech companies, Oracle’s Ellison instructed his subordinates to disclose an internal Google financial document, which shows that Android has already contributed $31 billion in revenue to Google. , Of which 22 billion is profit, and the profit rate is as high as 70%!

More detailed data shows that the Android application market alone has a revenue of 12.25 billion US dollars in 15 years!

Of course, Feng Yiping at this time is not that big-hearted, but in any case, a project that can bring him nearly 5 billion US dollars a year in return is naturally worthy of his attention. Therefore, he not only contacted Samsung, but also contacted him. HTC.

HTC, because the English is HTC, it is called ham sausage in China. This ham sausage has not been splashed in the domestic mobile phone market, but people who know the mobile phone market will probably know that in smart In the early days of the machine's rise, especially in the US market, it was really better than Samsung, and it was the only Android phone brand that could challenge Apple at that time.

Actually speaking, HTC still has some achievements in the domestic mobile phone market. In the domestic mobile phone camp, Dopod, which is still a high-end brand, is the company of HTC...

In short, now that Android is in his own hands, Feng Yiping will certainly not give up such a cadre.

It's just that he didn't expect that the opponent would move so fast.

But if you think about the personality of the other person, there seems to be nothing incomprehensible.

For this princess of Formosa Plastics, well, there are a lot of princesses of Formosa Plastics.

At present, there are 7 princesses in the Wang family’s three bedrooms, plus those anecdotes that Feng Yiping knows. In the future, there will be two sisters from the Luo family who are living outside. Together, Formosa Plastics has a total of 9 princesses-Feng Yiping suddenly I feel that I can work hard.

But the most well-known one is naturally this Wang Xuehong, who later became the richest woman in Wanwan, and had “born Zhang Zhongmou when he gave birth to a son, and Wang Xuehong when he was a child”.

Regarding the most famous princess of Formosa Plastics, whether it is a partner or a partner, she has such an evaluation, "very bold, with a man's mind."

She does things more decisively than many men.

In the afternoon of the next day, Feng Yiping met this arguably the most famous rich second generation in Wanwan at his office.

Accompanied by a few middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes, the middle-aged women who are also wearing black suits, each of which are not tall, walked with their heads high, really walking with wind, indoors, with long hair , Also swayed.

At first glance, Feng Yiping felt that this lady who was the average height of our women was taller than the men who were over 180 around her.

That's right, it is really bold and manly!

"President Wang, welcome," Feng Yiping stood at the door and stretched out his hand.

"President Feng, Yang Yang," Mr. Wang also stretched out his hand from afar, and she shook hands, indeed as powerful as a man.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Feng, we came too presumptuously,"

"Where," Feng Yiping said with a smile, "As the host, I have only seen you until now. I should be sorry, Mr. Wang, everyone, please!"

"President Feng, there is a word, I think you don't mind," Mr. Wang said after taking a seat and looking at Feng Yiping a few times.

"How come, please, Mr. Wang," Feng Yiping smiled and raised his hand.

"Although I have watched a lot of your information, including some news films, and I have been mentally prepared, after meeting you, I still want to say at this time, Feng, you are so young that we are surprised."

"Standing in front of you, we are all old all of a sudden,"

Feng Yiping smiled. He listened too much on the topic of age. Frankly speaking, he didn't want to mention this topic too much, because someone said that being young is actually a disadvantage.

But Mr. Wang's words did not mean that he was despised because he was young.

It's just that it's a bit difficult to answer these words, "How come you are so young?" And so on, considering that the other party is a lady, on such occasions, it's a little too solemn.

There are also many people over there. "What surprised us more is the achievements of Mr. Feng. Compared with Mr. Feng, we are all old guys who are doing nothing and spending time."

This is actually not waiting for idlers, he is the CEO of HTC, Mr. Zhou.

"Where, the two of them have passed the award," Feng Yiping said, "I just met a good time, and I was lucky enough to seize a few good opportunities."

"President Feng, you are too humble. Success is never lucky," Mr. Wang said. "If someone like me takes care of my father's generation, if I can do something, it will be a real fluke."

"Well, Mr. Wang, you are too humble. I believe that there are many people like me who admire Mr. Wang’s courage and ability. I think that when I started my business, I chose a giant like Intel as a competitor. And there are still few people who have succeeded in the world," Feng Yiping said.

Another important company of Mr. Wang is VIA, a chip company that was on the verge of bankruptcy, acquired from an American businessman in 1988.

Although this company has not been able to fight the Wintel alliance formed by Intel and Microsoft recently, it has been somewhat marginalized, but in the years at the end of the last century, it was quite dazzling. The chipsets they launched have seized many of Intel’s markets. The share has forced some of Intel to rush over the wall and fight a patent lawsuit with them for several years.

By the way, Lenovo's rapid rise in the PC manufacturing field and its rapid occupation of the market with a low-cost strategy were mainly due to VIA's affordable chipsets in the early stage.

However, this also caused the plan of Academician Ni Guangnan, the chief engineer of Lenovo at that time, to develop a chip by himself, which was not supported, and he was helpless.

In any case, Feng Yiping believes that most people, including the rich second generation, will not take advantage of giants like Intel at the beginning of their business.

What's more, her rich second generation, at least in the early days, received limited support from the family. What Mr. Wang liked most was the children of Sanfang-they were children, but in fact Sanfang were all daughters and four daughters.

Of course, after she moved Via from the United States to Wanwan, she would naturally enjoy a lot of convenience and support because of her status.

Her company, which accounts for the GDP of Bay Bay, is actually no less than Samsung's to South Korea.

"Thinking about it now ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, I can only say that I was a newborn calf and was not afraid of tigers," Mr. Wang smiled.

If VIA is developing well now, she probably wouldn't say so, but given the current situation of VIA, it is hard to say how correct her original decision was.

"We admire the most. It is actually Mr. Feng's vision. Speaking of which, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Rubin have a very good relationship, but it is Mr. Feng that you first discovered the value of the products developed by Rubin."

Feng Yiping looked at Mr. Zhou, the other party smiled and nodded, is there anything else? To say that in this world, small is really small.

He also somewhat understands why HTC was the first to launch a mobile phone equipped with Android.

"It was a fluke for me. When working with Rubin, I really didn't expect a product like the iPhone to appear," Feng Yiping smiled.

But in the eyes of President Wang and his party, Feng Yiping's smile is very unpredictable.
