According to the data provided by the Institute of Investment and Research, 199 cases of the first half of 2014 were disclosed, the total investment amount was 1.122 billion yuan, and the scale of investment in half a year has surpassed the annual level. Close to 80% of the investment cases are concentrated in the Internet and it fields.

Tencent Science and technology statistics also found that the internet finance, online education and car sector is capital surging, "start price" nearly tens of millions of dollars. As of September this year, 33 companies in these three areas had completed their financing, with 5 of them reaching $100 million trillion, and 17 at more than tens of millions of dollars. In addition, over the past two years, aihongbianye in the field of electrical business has also been frequent victory, as of this September, there have been 15 electric companies have successfully financed.

It is also worth mentioning that, in the first three quarters of this year, they have dropped 45 projects, averaging 5 projects a month.

Under the cooperation agreement between Intel and Violet, the Violet's communications will jointly develop and sell a series of system chip (SoC) products based on Intel architecture. The system chip usually contains the baseband chip used to realize the communication function and the application chip used to realize the computing function.

The above cooperation means that in the future, there will be a part of the system chip to be provided by the company to the handset manufacturer, which incorporates the Intel Architecture application chip. The system chips provided by the exhibition are very competitive in the low-end market and have a large number of customers of mobile phone manufacturers.

Clearly, through this collaborative model, Intel architecture will be expanded in the mobile phone chip area, which will be far easier to access than Intel's independent development.

It is worth mentioning that, despite the cooperation with the violet Light, Intel may continue to develop its own mobile chip business in the short term. The company said it would launch a 3G-capable Sofia system chip by the end of 2014, with a 4G version of the system chip in the first quarter of next year.

Chinese investors in Silicon Valley: How do we invest?

In the field of investment, and most of the domestic investment for to C products, innovation Workshop in the United States to invest in to B (Enterprise-class products). There are four major investment areas:

First, the developer community, such as mobile gaming tools, can watch video while playing games and watch videos while watching Weibo. At present, no company in China has started to offer such services.

Second, for the retail industry, such as business-to-business business.

Third, the Internet of things. This is the hottest investment in Silicon Valley this year, and the domestic market is the biggest.

Four, online education. Most of the online education in China is about learning English and college entrance exams. In the United States, more emphasis on continuing education after graduating from university, this area is not the influence of parents, government, teachers. Unlike at home, innovation workshops in the United States are not interested in online education platforms, but vertically, such as blue-collar skills assessment, evaluation, and so on, but no such project has been found in China.

In addition, manufacturing automation is also a trend in the future.

"Phoenix eyes Silicon Valley" before Google Map employees exposed Google Map birth process

Google Maps released the same day, attracted to Google local five times times the amount of traffic. 2 months later, we added satellite imagery to 10 times times as much traffic as Google Local. After a few months, the volume of traffic soared to 50 to 100 times times that of Google's local. As I look back at the whole development process, I was surprised to find that Google Local has not been able to succeed with many of the same competitors. Google Maps, by contrast, have a single function that succeeds. Its users were even required to print before they could use it in their cars.

In fact, we've only focused on two features for this product, but these two features are very addictive and therefore play a crucial role. One is the drag (Pan) map, which makes the user feel very modern, and the other is the use of satellite maps, it allows users to search the feeling of the body in it.

After that, I realized that the success of technology products like Google Maps depended largely on cutting-edge technology. And it is the application of cutting-edge technology that has brought unprecedented experience to users, and technology itself has become a core part of the product.

Intel Alliance, the mobile phone chip field can roll over?

For Intel, through a stake in the Violet Group's holding company, to achieve a stake in the exhibition and RDA, the main intention is:

1, expand the market share of mobile chips. According to Strategy Analytics, the market share of Qualcomm, MediaTek and Shanghai in the first quarter of 2014 was 66%, 15% and 5% respectively, while Intel slipped to 4th place. With the exhibition, Intel + exhibition market share will increase to nearly 10%, greatly narrowing the gap with MediaTek market share.

2, increase cooperation with Chinese mobile phone companies. China has become the world's leading mobile phone production and manufacturing base, and there are hundreds of small and medium-sized mobile phone companies. Over the years, Intel has tried to persuade small and medium-sized mobile phone companies to adopt the Intel mobile chip platform, but it has not been recognised because of technical barriers and market risks. And the exhibition and China's many small and medium-sized mobile phone brands are closely linked, Intel can use this to increase the X86 of low-end mobile chip promotion.

3, occupy the rise of China's chip enterprises "Typhoon mouth." With more than 120 billion "National Integrated circuit Industry Fund" the most integrated circuit support program in China's history, Chinese companies are becoming an important force for global chip development. Purple Light group to buy 1.78 billion U.S. dollars, 907 million dollars to buy RDA's continuous action, behind the establishment of the "Chip national team" important thrust. Intel, through its stake in communications and RDA, will directly enjoy the dividends of the rise of China's chip companies.

4, Beyond MediaTek. Through years of face-to-face competition, Intel has recognized that reliance on its own power has made it hard to surpass or even approach Qualcomm in mobile phone chips. But there is still a big chance of overtaking MediaTek by investing in and propping up the world's third-largest mobile-chip company. Intel still has the top-end design and manufacturing process in the global chip industry, and is a leading generation for Apple's OEM, and is superior to the 4G baseband chip design. The shares of MediaTek have continued to fall since Intel's share of the news was revealed.

Sadly, what did Adobe China do wrong?

Http://www.tmtpost.com/152996.html

Adobe sadly leaves China, neither because of performance problems nor because of Prism doors, which make all the mistakes a company can make. In fact, Adobe has a lot to change the place, in the final analysis or not comply with the development of the Internet, do not understand the needs of users.

1, not adapt to China's national conditions, selling high-priced software highbrow. 2, not adapt to industry development, cloud computing is not thorough. 3, do not study user needs with the times, "extreme" products outdated.
