In the year 2007, personal computers had entered the mature DIY era.
Individual users who had a little knowledge of computer technology could assemble personal computers in modular form.
But cell phones couldn't!
In this era, cell phone technology was in the ascendant. Almost all the technology giants in the world realized the rich profits of mobile phones.
If the Elbeta family didn't have any key technology to show, then their entry into the mobile phone industry would be nothing more than a waste of effort.
Shi Lei and the girl sat across from each other in Capone Café.
The girl with light gray shoulder-length hair had a faint melancholy look on her face. She seemed to be quietly listening to Shi Lei, occasionally opening her mouth to reply.
If it wasn't for the middle-aged man, Cain, standing to the side, perhaps the atmosphere between Shi Lei and the girl would be better.
"Stone, although Sakem's cell phone isn't famous, it has a certain market share in France.
My grandfather is very optimistic about the future of mobile phones. He's prepared to invest a portion of his funds and power into the mobile phone project. "Afra Elbeta answered Shi Lei's question.
Shi Lei's eyes were a little unhappy. "Afra, if I remember correctly, if your family wants Sakem's cell phone, they should need you and Rottas to go together, right?"
Afra Elbeta nodded. "That's right!"
"Then what about you?" Shi Lei asked worriedly.
"I refuse to be with Rottas!"
Afra Elbeta said with certainty. "Even if my grandfather wants to enter the mobile phone industry, he can't sacrifice my happiness!"
Shi Lei looked at the little girl in surprise. He didn't expect her to be so strong!
"Stone, do you think I'm selfish?" Afra Elbeta suddenly asked.
"How could that be?
You're right. No matter what your grandfather wants to do, he can't sacrifice your happiness.
As a man, if you want to develop your own business, then you have to fight for it yourself, not sacrifice a woman! "Shi Lei said righteously.
Afra Elberta revealed a lovely smile. "Stone, my grandfather, he's been deceived by someone!
Although Sakem's cell phone is a little famous in France, their research and development team is terrible. Their cell phone product hasn't been innovated in three years!
This kind of company has no development potential at all! "
Shi Lei agreed. "A company without creativity is destined to have no future!
Oh right, Aphrodite, why is your grandfather so determined to enter the mobile phone industry?
Does he have something to rely on? "
Afra Elberta looked at Shi Lei seriously again. After close to a minute, she opened her mouth and said, "Our Elberta family owns 11% of Qualcomm's shares."
Qualcomm, a very well-known wireless communication technology research and development company.
Perhaps in 2007, Qualcomm was not well-known in Xia Xia. But in later years, Qualcomm was famous all over the world. The Snapdragon series mobile processor was Qualcomm's golden signboard.
With its Snapdragon series mobile processors and Adreno series mobile graphics processors, Qualcomm was a well-deserved leader in the field of mobile devices.
However, due to Shi Lei's strong intervention and acquisition of AMD, Qualcomm's purchase of AMD's mobile graphics processing technology failed. No one knew if the Adreno series mobile graphics processor would appear again.
So they own Qualcomm's shares!
If it's Qualcomm, then it makes sense that the Elberta family is determined to develop in the mobile phone industry! Shi Lei thought to himself.
"Qualcomm?"
Shi Lei frowned. "Even if you own Qualcomm's shares, your Elberta family's advantages are not obvious.
Other than the cheaper mobile processor purchase price and the mature baseband technology, what other advantages do we have? "
Afra Elberta didn't say anything. She just chuckled.
"Forget it, Afra. Let's not talk about these things.
How long do you plan to stay in Bermuda? "Shi Lei obviously didn't continue to be entangled in the mobile phone industry.
Afra Elberta thought for a while and said in an uncertain tone, "We should leave today. The girls' high school that I study in has made it clear that if I can't return to school in three days, I should be in my first year of high school next year."
Shi Lei laughed. "It's okay. Isn't it good to be in your first year of high school?"
"Not at all!"
Afra Elberta frowned. "Stone, what's your phone number?"
Shi Lei told Afra his private phone number and said, "Afra, write a text message now and let me know your number, in case your phone can't connect."
Afra Elberta didn't refuse. She sent a text message saying, "I'm Afra Elberta." After confirming that Shi Lei's phone number had been received, she stood up. "Stone, I'm very happy to meet you in Bermuda.
If I hadn't met you, this trip would have been completely meaningless.
Then, goodbye! "
Shi Lei waved his hand. He didn't ask Afra to stay, nor was he in a position to ask her to stay.
After spending more than ten minutes eating the rest of the steak, Shi Lei put on his Bluetooth headset and connected to Izur through a local disposable phone in Bermuda.
"Izur, have you saved Afra's phone number?"
Although Shi Lei didn't wear his Bluetooth headset at all times, the disposable phone in his trouser pocket could receive Shi Lei's orders through the receiver.
"Yes, sir," Izur replied.
"Then, have you booked our return tickets?" Shi Lei picked up his coffee and looked at the nearby scenery through the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
The incident in the Bermuda Triangle had come to an end. Shi Lei was ready to return to Xia Xia.
"Sir, the system has booked seven first-class tickets back to Xia Xia. The flight from Bermuda to New York, Lijian Province, will depart at 7: 40 pm tonight." As long as Shi Lei ordered something, Izur would never forget to handle it.
Even if Izur couldn't handle Shi Lei's order, he would mention it immediately and wouldn't fall into a logical error and waste time.
"Okay!"
Shi Lei stood up and walked to the bar counter of the coffee shop. He took the initiative to compensate for the damage caused to the coffee shop during the conflict with Rottner.
After paying the bill, Shi Lei leisurely returned to the ocean exploration company in Rongcheng Military District and told Shi An about his return to Xia Xia.
At 7: 00 pm, Shi Lei and Shi An were already sitting in the first-class cabin of the flight at Bermuda International Airport. Shi Lei closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. The flight from the Bermuda Triangle to New York, Lijian Province was not a short journey.
The long flight passed through the airport and the plane. Due to the weather, the direct flight from New York to Shuangqing Beiyu International Airport was delayed. When Shi Lei's flight landed at Shuangqing Beiyu International Airport, it was already 7: 00 am on July 21st.
It took more than three days to return to Shuangqing from the Bermuda Triangle!
After such a long journey, Shi Lei once again had the idea of buying a private jet.
Even if his private jet couldn't be used to transport The First Light or solve an emergency, it could at least make his flight a little more pleasant, right?
If he had his own private jet, it would only take a day to fly from the Bermuda Triangle to Shuangqing City.
Plus, the comfort of a private jet far exceeded that of a commercial airliner.
After leaving Shuangqing Beiyu International Airport, Shi Lei arranged for a car to send Shi An to the Luo Yu Shan Training Ground in Beiyu.
Rongcheng Military District had already sent a helicopter to pick up Shi An and the others. Shi Lei didn't plan to follow them.
After the long journey, Shi Lei just wanted to have a good sleep. He didn't want to do anything else!
After returning to Jingya Court in Shuanghu District, Shi Lei fell on the big bed in his room and fell into a deep sleep in less than a minute.
It was obvious how tired Shi Lei was.
From eight o 'clock in the morning to eight o' clock in the evening, Shi Lei slept for a little more than twelve hours.
After waking up in a daze, Shi Lei asked, "Izur, what time is it now?"
"Sir, it's July 21st, 8: 13 in the evening.
The system has automatically ordered dinner for you. It's estimated that dinner will arrive in ten minutes, "Izur answered Shi Lei's question and then took the initiative to remind him.
Izur naturally ordered dinner at the Green Lake Hotel. The Green Lake Hotel had been providing food ordering service for Shi Lei for a long time. Even the delivery staff was equipped with a separate delivery car.
Shi Lei nodded and sat up. He shook his head to wake himself up.
Then, he walked into the bathroom and washed up. The doorbell in the living room rang.
"Sir, dinner has arrived," Izur reminded Shi Lei.
Shi Lei opened the door and took the food box from the delivery staff. He thanked them and went back to the living room. After eating a little dinner, he sat in front of server number one.
When he met Aphrodite in Bermuda, the two briefly discussed the mobile phone issue. Shi Lei realized that he needed to speed up the development of mobile phones.
More than half of 2007 had passed. If Shi Lei didn't hurry, he might not be able to develop a mobile phone belonging to Mirui Technology Group in 2008!
However, before speeding up the development of the mobile phone business under Mirui Technology Group, Shi Lei was going to release a small piece of news on the Internet!
