Chapter 2520 The Warring States Era Is Coming!

Xiao Qi arranged the office location of the Perfect Match website in the commercial office building area of ​​Xiapingyuan.

In this area, whether it is Xiaoniao.com, Weibo, Weixin, Xiannv Real Estate Rongcheng Branch, Xiaoyao Logistics, Xiaoyao Express, and Xiaoyao Mall, they are all here, belonging to the concentrated area of ​​Xiannv Company and its affiliated companies .

With so many office buildings reserved, Peng Anqi chose an office building that was very close to Xiaoyao Mall.

It is also a 16-story building, but there are only three or two kittens in a perfect match, and Xiaoyao Mall is already a bit crowded, and some departments are going to go to a building next to it.

It's just that the first tranche of 100 million funds, as well as the technicians of the Fairy Company website and Xiaoyao Mall website, have come to listen to the requirements, so as to design a simple website with a very beautiful page for the perfect combination, so Peng Anqi is also full of energy, quite a young entrepreneur posture.

Xiao Qi didn't tell Huo Zhuzhu immediately that this perfect match website was just for her, and he planned to tell her about this surprise later.

Now, there is actually another problem, which has attracted attention within Fairy Company.

That is the smartphone G2 released by HTC through cooperation with Microsoft.

Since its launch in May, the G2 has shipped more than 8 million units for three consecutive months.

Because of its dazzling appearance, Microsoft's technical support, smooth system debugging, moderate price, and many games on the Microsoft Store, G2 has successfully attracted many young people, resulting in a double harvest of word-of-mouth and sales.

Speaking of which, the popularity of G2 is definitely due to the Android Alliance.

It is precisely because the Android Alliance poached many R&D companies and engineers from the APP STORE at a high price, allowing them to develop games in the Android Mall. Take it and use it directly.

Also because the free system in the future has more user bases, developers and development companies put forward opinions with APP STORE, so APP STORE also changed the rules later. Allow developers to cooperate with other operating systems to develop the same game suitable for these platforms. It's just that the share in the APP STORE has changed from 70% to 30% and will gradually become 60% to 40% and 50% to 50%.

At present, such a share is definitely a disadvantage, with 20% less profit, and even going to the Android mall, but not even getting one-tenth of the loss.

But in the past two years, many development teams and engineers have signed non-exclusive sharing agreements. The reason is that the Android Alliance has given them enough subsidies, which can add up to 10% more income than APP STORE.

Microsoft has also learned this trick, and simply cooperated with the Android Alliance, and they will also bear a fee. Then, as long as these development teams and engineers are profitable and popular, they all join the two major app stores at the same time. camp.

Microsoft and the Android Alliance got the APP software, and the development team and engineers expanded their influence and got more income. Mobile phone users with free systems can enjoy the same treatment as fairy, Apple, and Samsung mobile phone users. APP STORE can also get more income sharing... From this point of view, it can be said that everyone is happy.

At least Microsoft has tasted the benefits now, with the number of apps in the Microsoft Mall exceeding 1 million. Let G2 users have a very good smart experience, and naturally more people are willing to buy it-Microsoft has dominated the world for so many years. But it has cultivated too many fans.

Of course, G2 is not without shortcomings, such as HTC’s consistent battery problems, such as HTC’s screen pixel density problems, such as the coolness of the appearance... etc. It is worse than IPHONE and Dream Stars, at best it is comparable to Samsung Galaxy S2 The same grade, but the price is cheaper than Samsung.

All in all, the G2 is a true mid-range phone. It also has the Microsoft brand, with a monthly sales volume of 8 million. That is also reasonable.

Its cost performance is similar to that of Dream Snow, but fortunately, the price of Dream Snow is not much cheaper abroad, so the two compete with each other, but they firmly occupy most of the sales of mid-range smartphones.

The Samsung C1, which is cheaper than the two, is priced at US$299 for the entry-level version and US$330 for the high-end version, but the quality of the mobile phone is really ordinary, so the sales volume can only be regarded as an ordinary two to three million a month.

The sad reminder is the two giants of the Android Alliance-Nokia and Motorola.

Their previous prices were set very high. The Motorola A1600 was priced at 399 US dollars, and the Nokia N80 was priced at 488 US dollars. It seemed that it was not high at the time, but compared with Samsung M2, G2 and Dream Snow, they made it out of this kind of tweaking. smartphones, immediately fell to the bottom.

From the beginning of more than 15 million units and more than 20 million units in a month, both of them have quickly ushered in a decline. Now the A1600 is more than 3 million units a month, and the N80 is only more than 2 million units, which is much lower than Nokia. And expected from Motorola.

Even the combined monthly sales volume of the two mobile phones is a little more than the 4 million units of Sony Ericsson's SP100, which was added later.

I don’t know if they saw the G2, a small fish, come from behind. Do they regret that they are still obsessed with the sales and profits of feature phones, but have missed the opportunity of the entire smartphone era?

Not to mention Motorola and Nokia, Fairy's internal R&D center started research with HTC's G2 as early as May.

In fact, smartphones are simple and simple. Except for the CPU, GPU, and operating system, the rest can all be patchwork.

Even what kind of chip is used, how is the power consumption and efficiency of the chip, etc., can also be tested.

This is how the "running points" that will appear in the future come from.

Although there is no professional running score now, the research of Fairy Lab is still very good.

They pointed out more than 60 technologically advanced places in HTC's design functions, and more than 130 advanced places in Microsoft's operating system. Compared with G1, G2 obviously put a lot of effort into debugging, which is smooth. If it weren't for the electronic and CPU chip dragging down, it would have surpassed Dream Snow by a notch.

For this reason, Xiao Qi also specially went to listen to their seminars several times, and finally those guys clamped their tails and began to devote their energy to the research and development project seriously, instead of being complacent like before, Slightly slack.

The same goes for the group of guys including Mingxiang Holdings North American Laboratory.

After all, apart from Apple, there are other companies that can catch up, and their superiority is still very touching.

This also saved Xiao Qi the effort of beating them.

Naturally, the boy would not tell them that HTC is not actually the most important competitor.

After the HTC in the previous life was easily successful, it would start to expand incomparably, so that there were many failures in design and function, and it continued to weaken and retreat. Kill them all.

If there are no accidents, the same may be true for HTC in this life, because Baodao people are still not smart enough in smart electronics, they are stubborn in doing things and don't listen to suggestions, so it is normal for them to collapse in the end.

The only variable is Microsoft.

As a super giant in the computer software industry, Microsoft has enough vision and courage, otherwise it would not have invested huge sums of money to cooperate with HTC.

Once they find that HTC is going off the road, they are likely to intervene directly and change HTC's approach.

If that's the case, I'm afraid HTC will grow one step further, at least it is also an important part of the second echelon.

The first echelon is of course Fairy, Apple and Samsung.

Only these two companies are the biggest opponents of Fairy Company's hegemony.

Apple has a lot of craftsmanship, and they will not launch the market until they are absolutely satisfied with the product.

But once Apple's products come out, it's time for other companies to be careful, because Apple's smart products are likely to quickly sweep the market!

Samsung is even more powerful!

Koreans are not as rigid as Apple in doing things. They have developed a lot of smart electronic product projects. Even if they don’t, once you make a new product, it will be able to launch a similar product for you in three to five months. .

However, Xiao Qi's idea was not finished, and there was a sudden news that Motorola and Nokia officially held a press conference and released two new mobile phones in one fell swoop.

As soon as the news came out, fans of Nokia and Motorola were ecstatic.

They are all old users for many years. The failure of a smartphone will not affect their perception of the two giants. Many people are also expecting them to come up with better products. , Samsung and these emerging giants compete.

It happened to be the same day, and LG in South Korea announced a news that shocked the industry even more.

They will formally enter the smartphone industry, but they will not choose the Android alliance mentioned earlier, but the Microsoft camp!

No one could have imagined that Microsoft has managed to do so in such a secretive way, and the results are so impressive. With LG, an electronics giant that is even better than HTC, joining, the momentum of the Microsoft camp is not small!

So many news came out on the same day, people have a feeling.

The era of melee in the three-point world has arrived! (to be continued ~^~)
