Chapter 2526 Free System Controversy
State affairs have nothing to do with Xiao Qi.
He only needs to provide his own opinions. As for what the country does and how to deal with it, that is not Xiao Qi's concern.
It would be very foolish for a businessman to influence politics.
Of course Xiao Qi is not stupid, so his mind is still on his main business.
During this period of time, apart from being busy with Fairy Company itself, Xiao Qi was also concerned about the news of the six major electronics companies and the progress of Xiaomiao Electronics Company that he deliberately wanted to cultivate.
Among the six major electronics companies, Huawei and ZTE are the most active.
The two companies already had deep backgrounds. After obtaining Xiao Qi's patent authorization and buying a lot of patent authorizations, the progress of the smartphones they were developing suddenly accelerated a lot.
According to the information from the public relations department, in fact, after two months of hard work, Huawei's first engineering machine has been manufactured. However, Huawei's confidentiality measures are very strict, and now we have only heard some very vague information , The specific mobile phone parameters have not been obtained at all.
Huawei is already a big company now, and of course they won't make an engineering phone and spread it everywhere.
On the one hand, there are already jewels from Fairy Company in front of them. No matter how good Huawei's new phone is, it is impossible to be better than Fairy Company's mobile phone, at least for now.
On the other hand, it is not as unscrupulous as the propaganda wars in the future. There are no plots of self-direction such as revealing one's own secrets, dropping mobile phones and passers-by picking up such scenes.
Therefore, based on their situation, Xiao Qi judged that Huawei's mobile phone should take several months to take shape before it will be released for publicity.
But even so, Xiao Qi also thinks that they are amazing. This kind of decisiveness and execution is what companies in Huaguo lack. Look at Lenovo, they are still working hard to tackle key problems, and it is said that half of the progress has not been completed yet. .
As for Xiaomiao Electronics...
Xiao Qi gets a headache when he thinks of them.
After Yu Lihong arrived in Nanwan, the first thing he did was to buy two buildings. One building is used as a research and development site, and the other building is used as a temporary residence for entrepreneurial R&D teams. And told them that when the product comes out and the big boss passes the inspection, the house they live in will be rewarded to them as a prize.
Xiao Qi doesn't care about rewards, but Yu Lihong's trick seems to have no incentive to speed up the progress.
Until now, Xiao Qi knew that they were still stuck on the CPU chip.
They are all researching chips from Qualcomm, Infineon, Spreadtrum and MediaTek. But which chip is most suitable for the smartphone they want to make has not been determined until now.
Fortunately, the appearance design, function key design, etc. did not stop because of this, otherwise Xiao Qi really decided to simply ignore Xiaomiao Electronics Company, and directly invited Rebus to come out and directly invest in the establishment of Xiaomi.
For these companies that are about to enter the smartphone industry, major domestic and foreign angel funds, venture capital, component manufacturers...etc., a large group of people are paying attention.
But the two companies that pay the most attention to them are still two companies.
Microsoft and Google.
You should know these two names, right?
right!
Just to pull the seven of them into their camp.
Now there are not many manufacturers who claim to be smart phones.
Japan's SHARP is basically soy sauce and has no competitiveness.
BlackBerry is obsessed with their full keyboard technology. Obsessed with their wireless mail-blocking technology and skeptical about smartphones.
Only these few manufacturers in Huaguo are backed by Huaguo, a large market with a population of 1.5 billion. In addition, it is said that they have reached an agreement with Xiao Qi to make low-end smartphones. That proves that they can see their own positioning and will not become cannon fodder for the fierce competition in the mid-to-high end. Such a company is definitely worth wooing.
Now the WIN PHONE system and the Android system are almost evenly matched.
Considering that the giant LG in the Microsoft camp will launch smartphones soon, if the Android camp does not take action to absorb new personnel, they are likely to be abandoned and become the third in the market.
This is for the proud GOOGLE. is absolutely unacceptable.
Your Microsoft is very good, but it was in the 90s. Now that a new decade is coming, it should be my Google era. Why should I be worse than you and not compete with you?
So the two companies screwed up, and the tit-for-tat confrontation was fierce.
If you give this company good conditions, I will raise the salary again.
You think it has no future, so I just want to find it.
Anyway, at the end of July and the beginning of August, seven companies, including Xiaomiao Electronics, who were preparing to enter the smartphone market, fell into such happy troubles.
Xiao Qi didn't know the conditions that Microsoft and Google offered to others, but Wu Chenlong from Xoceco Electronics was Xiao Qi's friend, so he came to ask Xiao Qi when he couldn't make up his mind.
Among them, Microsoft’s condition for Xoceco Electronics is to use the WIN PHONE system for free forever. Any system problems will be solved by Microsoft. Loss.
In addition, Microsoft will also actively help Xohua Electronics to open up sales channels in Europe and the United States, and will not charge any fees.
According to the characteristics of Xoceco’s first entry into the smartphone business, Microsoft will actively coordinate and arrange various component suppliers for them to ensure that they can get low-priced and high-quality products—in this regard, Microsoft’s network is completely complete. can be reflected.
What's even more exaggerated is that once it is determined to use the WIN PHONE system, Microsoft will give Xoceco Electronics an annual R&D subsidy of 10 million US dollars within five years. This is Chiguoguo's temptation of money!
GOOGLE is not bad at all.
The Android system is also permanently free, and GOOGLE will also send technical experts to create a unique deepening system of Xoceco based on the Android system, so that it has a specific imprint of Xoceco, unlike the WIN PHONE system. , the whole world is the same, we can only follow the pace of Microsoft.
This alone makes Wu Chenlong very excited. After all, having his own branded mobile phone operating system is a good way to increase the stickiness of the brand.
Then GOOGLE also promised that it will open up other foreign sales channels for Xohua Electronics, and coordinate with European and American component suppliers, such as Qualcomm, which has a very close relationship with GOOGLE to ensure that it can provide good CPU chips.
In terms of money, GOOGLE is more gentle. It is agreed that within three years, every time Prima Mobile sells a smartphone with Android system, GOOGLE will give them a reward of 0.5 US dollars, with no upper limit.
If calculated according to the ambition of Xoceco mobile phones, selling 20 million units a year can reach Microsoft’s 10 million US dollars, and if it sells 50 million pre-orders, it will be 25 million US dollars, which is far higher than the amount given by Microsoft.
But things can’t be looked at in a simple way. Microsoft’s $10 million is guaranteed in droughts and floods. Whether you sell it or not, as long as you sign the agreement, Microsoft must pay it.
But if you are making smart phones, you are as popular as Nokia and Motorola at the beginning, but the sales quickly drop, and finally reach the point where you can’t sell, then what’s the point of the rewards from Google?
A bird in hand is worse than ten thousand birds in the forest!
Because of this, Wu Chenlong was a little tangled, so he came to Xiao Qi for advice.
He and Xiao Qi can be regarded as having known each other in Wei Mo, so naturally they have more friendship than others.
Not only Wu Chenlong's Xiahua, but Xiaomiao Electronics also fell into this kind of trouble.
Although Xiaomiao Electronics has not produced any mobile phones now, and even the company has dozens of R&D personnel, and there is no sign of sales or after-sales at all, but because this is another company founded by Xiao Qi, Microsoft and GOOGLE It cannot be ignored, and everyone will never ignore it.
Therefore, the conditions they gave Xiao Miao Electronics were not worse than those given to others, they were all about the same.
Even Microsoft quietly gave some more benefits, just to gain Xiao Qi's credit. When it comes to Xiao Qi's company will cooperate with Microsoft and use Microsoft's operating system, how proud should it be?
Yu Lihong said this to Xiao Qi, but Yu Lihong also got Xiao Qi's promise, that is, Xiao Qi will not interfere with which camp he joins, and it is still the same as agreed, and all affairs of Xiaomiao Electronics are handled by Yu Li Hong calls the shots.
Therefore, Xiao Qi wanted to make a suggestion, which was Xohua Electronics.
After thinking about it again and again, Xiao Qi still let Yu Lihong enter the Android Alliance.
After all, the Android system in the previous life has gone through a lot of tests. For the poor and white Huaguo operating system business, this is a good thing that can be used. Countless achievements have also proved that it is more suitable for the use of Huaguo people. Habit.
The biggest shortcoming of Microsoft's WIN PHONE system is still the rote copying of the computer operating system. It is still not smooth to operate on a smartphone, especially when there are more and more WeChat, WeChat, and blogs. With more and more content on Facebook and Twitter, the flexibility and convenience are still less.
In this life, if Microsoft still makes mistakes, Xiao Qi doesn't mind reminding them in other ways, lest Microsoft be beaten to the ground by Google, and it really becomes a thing of the past and loses its prestige.
But his friend, Xiao Qi, naturally felt that it was better for them to develop on Android, a platform that was destined to succeed.
