Chapter 1590 Allies Who Have Other Thoughts
Leader Qiao, who put down his phone, was also in deep thought.
He kept silent, which made his confidant Tim Cook a little impatient.
"Stephen, what should we do about this matter? These enemies are really insidious, and they are going to dig us out without saying a word!" Tim Cook said in a deep voice, "But look at Xiao Qi, what a look He doesn't seem to be in a hurry, and doesn't even deal with the incompetent app store CEO, is he so arrogant, thinking that he will definitely win the partnership of the Big Three?"
Gang Leader Qiao smiled coldly, "Tim, I don't think you are worried about whether our iPhone will be impacted at all."
Tim Cook was stunned for a moment, and then smiled dumbly, "How could the iPhone be surpassed by others? They are destined to be just chasers, not surpassers."
Leader Qiao nodded in satisfaction, his people must be so proud.
"But don't be too careless, Xiao Qi is always an elusive opponent." Gang Leader Qiao said with a smile: "Dream Stars is also a good phone...hahaha..."
Seeing the boss suddenly laugh, Tim Cook was a little inexplicable, "What's wrong?"
Master Qiao played with the pen in his hand, and said happily: "Do you still remember Xiao Qi's bet with us? Hahaha! Now let me see how he can complete the sales volume of 50 million units in half a year!"
Tim Cook had a flash of inspiration and suddenly realized.
Chief Qiao and Xiao Qi had a bet against each other. Originally, whether Xiao Qi's Dream Stars could complete the sales volume of 50 million units in half a year was only between five and five. Especially after the advertising effect came out, Apple's top management and board of directors were very worried that he could really break through the sales volume of 50 million units.
But now suddenly an Android alliance has emerged, and Motorola and Nokia are dispatched together. This kind of huge pressure, even Apple can feel the same, let alone Xiao Qi, a dream star who has not passed the market test!
They are the two ancestors of mobile phones!
No matter how good Xiao Qi’s Dream Stars is, under the attack of Motorola and Nokia, the sales volume may either plummet or plummet. It is good to sell 3 million units in a month, and 50 million units in half a year is simply a dream.
Thought of here. Tim Cook became excited: "Stephen, how many shares do you think we will get by then?"
Qiao Gang said: "At least 10%, I estimate it will be 15% by then."
"Is there no hope of getting 25%?" Tim Cook frowned.
"There is very little hope." Leader Qiao is still very rational. "The sales volume of 20 million units in half a year is not a problem for a mobile phone full of technological gimmicks like Dream Stars. What's more, Xiao Qi has accumulated countless loyal fans through the Dream Pad, which is not even better than our Apple's 20 to 30 years of experience. No matter how bad it is, the power of this group of fans cannot be ignored! What's more, dream stars are already very good, and sales are not a problem."
"Yeah! They were one step ahead!" Tim Cook sighed: "In just a few months, the title of 'Father of Smart Electronics' fell on his head. willing!"
"It's nothing." Leader Qiao smiled, "It's not a shame to lose to a genius."
After a pause, he was full of confidence again. "Similarly, Xiao Qi lost to me. It's not a shameful thing!"
Tim Cook looked at his friend reverently. In this world, only Gangzhu Qiao is qualified to comment on Xiao Qi and himself like this!
"As for the app store, don't worry at all." Gang Leader Qiao waved his hand again, "Just relying on the three tricks of the Android store, there won't be any trouble for a while! Hmph, the free smartphone program system Do you think it was twenty years ago? In this society where thieves are everywhere, how designers should choose to protect their own interests has already been decided!"
"I thought so too." Tim Cook laughed.
...
At the same time, it was already late at night in Seoul, and the weather was already very cold, and it was even snowing heavily.
Li Jianxi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass of his house, watching the falling snow outside, and remained silent.
Standing behind him was Yuan Pushu, the chairman of Samsung Electronics, who was in a hurry and dared not speak.
Listening to his rapid breathing, Li Jianxi said lightly: "What do the people in Samsung Electronics think?"
"We think..." Yuan Pushu hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth: "We think Xiao Qi's bet will lose! At least Apple will get 15% of the shares. With Samsung's current conditions, It is impossible for us to get Xiao Qi to give us 15%. LE, Motorola and Nokia have all started poaching app stores. With the three giants coming forward, it is sure that the app store will have a hard time, so, so... We think we should Maintain a cautious cooperation with Xiao Qi, temporarily avoid chasing shares in the app store, and wait for the development of things.”
"You think so too?" Li Jianxi couldn't hear any emotion in his words.
"Yes, President, that's exactly what I mean." Yuan Pushu said respectfully, "Samsung has worked hard for five or six years, but it is still difficult to look up to Motorola and Nokia. Now Xiao Qi is basically working with the two giants. This kind of uncertainty is too great! Even if Dream Stars is excellent, I am not optimistic about it."
"Dream Stars' sales volume of 50 million units in half a year is a bit of a mystery to me." Li Jianxi said slowly, "But your brains can imagine that the app store will fail. You are really unforgivably stupid!"
Yuan Pushu was so frightened that he raised his heart, "President, don't you think that the app store will not decline? But they were poached from the very beginning, and many profitable game companies go away! The rest can survive Is it? People’s hearts are gone, how can they develop?”
"Humph!"
Li Jianxi snorted coldly: "How do they dig? Just with one mouth? Where is the Android store? Those big companies that have collected money are of course not afraid of anything. These ordinary companies used to give such good conditions? They are using The app store is making good money, but if you change the environment rashly, who knows what the result will be? Can you guarantee that it will be better than it is now?"
Yuan Pushu thought about it, and it was indeed the case.
Those companies that would rather give up their flagship games such as "Plants vs. Zombies" and "Angry Sparrow" say that they have not received large compensation fees from the Android store, and no one believes it.
But that’s all the Android store can dig. There are more than 200,000 companies and individuals making apps for the app store. Can the Android store give them all the money and let them change jobs?
The reason for poaching people from the Android store is also to make money. Although they are very rich, if they lose so much in the early stage, it must be more difficult to develop.
Besides, they may not leave. The app store makes a lot of money, but it doesn't matter what your Android store is like.
Abandoning the interests in hand and betting on those elusive interests is simply a foolish thing to do!
"But what you said is not unreasonable. Xiao Qi must be very difficult now, not only the sales of dream stars, but also how to stabilize the popularity of the app store." After Li Jianxi taught his subordinates, he said: "After all, the app store Whether it can survive or not, everything depends on the sales of Dream Stars.
Once the sales of dream stars can reach Apple's current level, then the app store can rest easy. No matter how powerful the Android store is, it can't shake its position as the number one in the industry. If the sales volume of Dream Stars is only half of that of Apple, it is not a big problem. After all, our Samsung smartphones will also be launched, which is a great supplement.
If... if the sales volume of dream stars is less than 3 million units per month, I'm afraid it will be very bad! Not only does it need to sell a large amount of shares to Gang Leader Qiao, but it is also a problem to control the entire app store. In the future, it is hard to say, after all, Xiao Qi has worked so hard, will he be a dowry for others! "
"Then what should we do? Apple can't tolerate us!" Yuan Pushu said in a panic, "Could it be that at that time, we will also go to the Android system?"
"We haven't reached that point yet, why are you panicking?" Li Jianxi turned around and sat on the tatami. "We don't have to panic at all. Doing our part is better than anything else! As long as our Samsung smartphone sales When we go up, whether it is the app store or the Android store, they will actively fight for us, and only then will we have the right to bargain. If we can’t do well, it will be the same wherever you go, and you will have no status!"
Yuan Pushu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with admiration: "President, your analysis is really accurate. It seems that our own strength is the most important thing!"
"Well, so after you go back, don't worry about other things, and do a good job in the research and development work. You must not fail this time, you know?" Li Jianxi said, his voice became severe.
"Yes! If I don't succeed this time, I won't have the face to see you!" Yuan Pushu solemnly knelt down on the ground, expressing his determination that if he fails, he will succeed.
When Yuan Pushu left, Li Jianxi drank hot tea, feeling peaceful in his heart.
Oddly rare, strangely rare, although we are friends, there are no real friends in the mall.
If you fail this time, don't blame us Samsung for taking advantage of the fire. (to be continued..)
