Chapter 1681 New Opponent

In the electronic technology industry in the United States, the same sentence was once used on two giants of different eras.

"When Microsoft wants to do one thing, it means that other people who want to do the same thing will become a tragedy."

Entering the 21st century, with the popularity of personal desktop computers and laptop computers, Microsoft's windows operating system has become the well-deserved No. 1 in the world, and began their lonely and invincible process.

However, after any industry develops to a certain bottleneck, it will be replaced by new breakthrough technology fields. This is the necessity of social development and the necessity of technological development.

Whether it is their powerful and unparalleled search engine, or their outrageous innovations, they are obviously copying Microsoft's successful steps back then.

Besides, the smart electronics industry...

Moreover, Microsoft is also the pioneer of tablet PCs. Although this pioneer is a bit ridiculous in front of Xiao Qi's smart tablet PC, it cannot conceal the countless brilliance Microsoft has had before.

This alone uses inertia. It can make users actively buy it! !

As for saying that Microsoft has never made a mobile phone before, who care! ?

Has Apple ever made a phone before?

Even the defeated opponent on the personal computer has succeeded in making a mobile phone. I, the absolute overlord on the personal computer, should not be far behind?

To be precise, they want to find a medium-sized mobile phone manufacturer that can be acquired by themselves and develop directly through the back door.

But now there are only so many mobile phone manufacturers in the world, and Microsoft's options are very limited.

Fairy, Apple and Samsung are even more impossible. They are also members of the app store alliance and are now on the rise, and they will not be willing to be acquired by Microsoft.

The above companies basically represent the mainstream of first-line mobile phone companies, and also represent everyone's understanding of feature phones and smart phones. It also represents 90% of the sales volume of the feature and smartphone industry.

Microsoft would really like to buy one of these if possible. As the vanguard of its own attack on the smart electronics market, but now it is obviously not possible, Microsoft can only step back and look for second-tier mobile phone companies.

There are a lot of second-tier mobile phone companies.

Blackberry, Sony Ericsson, lg, htc, Sharp, Philips, Alcatel, Siemens... a series of lists, people have to look at it.

Of course. The reason for turning BlackBerry, an emerging company with 10 million paid service users, into the second tier is not because of their strength, but because of the class division in the entire smart electronic era.

Although BlackBerry has proudly said since Xiao Qi introduced the concept of "smart electronics" last year. They are the pioneers in the era of smart electronics, because they have realized the first wireless function of mobile phones - sending and receiving emails on mobile phones.

As we all know, at the time of 911, communications across the United States were overwhelmed and paralyzed. Only Vice President Dick Cheney's BlackBerry could send and receive emails, so that he could know what was happening outside at any time. Hong has gradually become a world-renowned superstar in recent years.

But people who really know what the concept of intelligence is, scoff at it.

If just sending and receiving emails is called smart electronics, where do you put the dream pad?

If blackberries can be considered smartphones, where do you put iphones and dream stars?

Users are not stupid either, they have their own criteria for judging who is good and who is bad, just based on the sales of nearly 10 million units of Apple iPhone and Fairy Company Dream Stars in a month, we can know how consumers choose.

It is precisely because Xiao Qi, the reborn person, stirred the wings of history, so in 2008, BlackBerry, which should have ushered in its most glorious era, has entered a period of decline ahead of schedule, so it was listed as the second largest by Microsoft's consulting department. class level.

Moreover, in this second class of mobile phone companies, Microsoft's first choice is not BlackBerry.

Because the two bosses of BlackBerry were so arrogant that they ignored anyone at all, insisted that their operating system was the best, and never planned to cooperate with others.

To put it bluntly, Microsoft likes Blackberry, but Blackberry doesn't like Microsoft. There is no way for the two to cooperate.

After many comparisons and considerations, Microsoft's first choice was directly set on htc company!

First of all, htc comes from a province in Huaguo, and it doesn't have too many other imprints. It is not as stubborn as LG, and it is not as closed as Sony Ericsson and Sharp. It is the easiest to get.

And htc is not like Alcatel. It is just a company in Huaguo with backward technology, but under the banner of Alcatel, it is cheating money everywhere in Europe and Africa. Htc has many core technologies of its own. There is also accumulation in smart electronics, no matter whether it is bought or own, anyway, people have capital.

Finally, htc is now in the stage of rapid development. Without the misery of Siemens directly shutting down the mobile phone department in 2006, this kind of hard-working and ambitious company is most suitable for cooperation with Microsoft.

As for after the cooperation, hehe, then wait to be eaten by Microsoft bit by bit!

A small company in Treasure Island is nothing compared to Microsoft!

Under such circumstances, Microsoft CEO Ballmer personally flew to Baodao to find Wang Hong and Cheng Wen.

Wang Hong and Cheng Wen were overwhelmed by the visit of such a super giant, but after hearing his intentions, they both fell silent.

The Android store is not as good as the app store, and its scale is pitifully small.

What's more, the profit share they give is still removed for those software developers. Even the app store only has 30% to distribute, let alone the Android store.

In this way, what htc can initially get from the Android Alliance is the most valuable smart Android system, and the rest are not worth mentioning.

It can be regarded as users of the Android system, which means that they have been tied to the chariot of the Android Alliance since then. Either everyone will have a great success together, or everyone will go bankrupt together.

People in Baodao are very conservative in character and don't have much effort.

So Wang Hong and his wife thought about whether to maintain their independence for the time being, and watch the battle between the Android Alliance and the app store. Get tons of benefits.

But now that Microsoft has come to htc, it has opened up a wider space for them.

Microsoft's operating system is not inferior to the Android system at all, and even the win system is far superior to the Android system, with a broader development space and a more promising prospect.

Microsoft's conditions for htc are also very good. Not to mention the large amount of funds injected, the shareholding requirements are not high, and the technical support provided is all-round, which is completely more suitable for htc's development.

Do not!

It's just like tailor-made!

Although both Wang Hong and Cheng Wen told Ballmer that they need to think about it, Ballmer is such a smart person. Just by looking at the eyes of the two, he knew that his trip to Treasure Island should be able to open the door. The door to cooperation is open! (To be continued..)
