Chapter 2346 Big Plan

Rubin first asked, "Feng, are you talking about promotion?"

"Yes," Feng Yiping said, "Android is different from Tesla. The successful development of Tesla means that most of the work has been completed. Next, we only need to fine-tune the problems that arise during the road test to finalize it. "

"The success of our Android research and development is only the first step in our work. The subsequent promotion, allowing device manufacturers to apply our system, is related to the success or failure of the system we have worked so hard to develop,"

"Of course, our promotion is not a problem," Feng Yiping laughed. "After seeing the iPhone's huge sales, I think at this time, most of the mobile phone manufacturers in the world, except Apple, are I have been looking forward to systems like Android,"

Everyone laughed, very easily.

When Apple's iPhones are being snapped up all over the world, the most anxious and helpless ones are naturally other mobile phone manufacturers.

Although at this time, everyone does not necessarily think that the future smartphone will look like the iPhone. After all, the iPhone is to the mobile phone industry what Tesla is to the automobile industry. They are all newbies.

It’s really hard for Big Brother to keep his face down now and just follow the iPhone’s routine.

But by this time, no matter what, all mobile phone manufacturers except Apple must know that it is time for their industry and their products to change.

Regarding hardware, apart from the fact that the screen must be large, each company may have its own ideas at this time, but the difficult problem to solve is software.

It can be said that at this time, except for giants like Nokia, which spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources to develop their own Symbian system, most other mobile phone companies do not have too many software engineers.

I want them to complete the work that Nokia has been tinkering with for many years and develop a unique system that can be installed on mobile phones. The level of absurdity that day is no less than that of Apple announcing tomorrow that my system is open and free. It’s for you to use, so use it boldly.

Also, the most critical point is time.

Speaking of which, the iPhone's operating system and the research and development of iPhone\OS are even earlier than the development of iPhone.

It can be traced back to the NeXT company founded by Steve Jobs after he was kicked out of Apple.

The personal workstation launched by Steve Jobs, the computer company he founded after leaving Apple, received a rather mediocre response from the market. So later, he simply cut off the hardware business and devoted himself to software research and development. The main result was an operation called NeXTSTEP. system.

This system later became the basis of Apple's Mac OS X system, which can also be said to be the basis of iPhone\OS.

Therefore, the current situation is that Nokia cannot count on the big players in the industry. The world-renowned operating system manufacturer, Microsoft Windows\Mobile system, has too high hardware requirements. In many cases, it is necessary to use a pen.

The mobile phones developed to adapt to this system are incomparable to the iPhone in terms of size, weight, and ease of operation.

Therefore, if you want to compete with the iPhone, this is not a good choice.

And if we develop such a system from scratch by ourselves, the company may be finished long before the development is successful.

If Android steps up at this time and I have a handheld device system that can be used immediately and it is free, then I can be sure that the threshold of Android will be crushed.

"We all know that as long as we announce this news now, by evening, mobile phone manufacturers will come to our door," Feng Yiping said.

Everyone couldn't help laughing again, smiling proudly.

There were two other guys, although they were sitting on chairs, their heads were moving rhythmically, and they were extremely happy with themselves.

"But it's not that simple," Feng Yiping opened his laptop, and Rubin quickly helped him connect the projector.

"To maximize the value of Android, we'd better cultivate an ecosystem around Android. Therefore, the partners we need to negotiate include not only mobile phone manufacturers, but also these," Feng Yiping stood up. .

"It should also include other terminal manufacturers, such as some computer companies, and some key component suppliers, including our own optical companies, and electronic map companies, because we all know that in new smartphones, electronic map companies , what an important role it will play,”

"In addition, there should also be well-known semiconductor companies in the world, such as Intel and Texas Instruments, because we also know that without chips, how can we have smartphones?"

"Of course software companies are also indispensable. Think about it, even for the iPhone launch conference, Steve Jobs invited so many software companies including us. This is not without reason,"

"The biggest difference between new smartphones and current feature phones is naturally that they can run more software, handle more work, meet more of our needs, and even replace the functions of PCs in many cases,"

"If you want to replace the PC, the more software the better,"

"... Finally, mobile operators are naturally indispensable. This is a very important link. As long as it is a mobile phone, it is currently inseparable from the support of mobile operators,"

"Think about Apple, how much effort they put into reaching cooperation with operators,"

At this time, the people at the table opened their mouths wide.

That is, it includes mobile phone manufacturers, chip manufacturers, software manufacturers, application and service providers, and mobile operators.

This, this looks like a big deal?

Feng Yiping returned to his seat and smiled at everyone, "Yes, you guessed it right, we are going to unite so many top companies in the industry to form an alliance organization, a giant alliance organization,"

Rubin closed his mouth, this is really going to be a big deal.

"In view of our Android system, which is an open system, my current opinion is to name this alliance the Open Handset Alliance,"

Even the name has been thought of, it can be seen that this is naturally not planned for a day or two.

A few guys exchanged glances, is this, to deal with Apple?

Feng Yiping seemed to know what they were thinking, "The vision should be long-term. The fundamental purpose of our plan to establish this alliance is mainly to promote the development of smart terminal devices including smart phones,"

"Yes," Rubin immediately agreed, "This is also the fundamental purpose of our research and development of Android,"

Others also nodded repeatedly, of course for such a purpose.

"Why is the development of the Internet so rapid?" Feng Yiping asked.

Why so fast? Of course, boss, you tell me why.

"Because the Internet industry has a global unified standard," Feng Yiping said.

"At present, both mobile phone companies and mobile operating system companies are relatively closed, which greatly restricts the development of the industry,"

"The Open Mobile Alliance we intend to establish is to change this situation that is not conducive to the development of the industry, while lowering the industry entry threshold, and formulating a unified standard," Feng Yiping once again raised the purpose of establishing this alliance.

But at this time, no one thought Feng Yiping was talking nonsense. They looked at Feng Yiping and only admired him.

Everyone present may have good skills in how to develop the Android system, and have some ideas about how to promote Android, but none of their ideas are as specific, systematic, and high-end as Feng Yiping's ideas.

They once again clearly felt the gap, a huge gap.

Of course, we can't always sing high-sounding tunes, after all, everyone present is our own people.

"I believe everyone can see that if such an alliance is established, how can our Android system not be developed and popularized?"

Everyone laughed again.

If such an alliance can be established, then the boss's previous words, that the number of devices equipped with the Android system and the number of future users of the Android system will be at least tens of billions, are really not empty words.

"So I think that when we officially launch our system, it should be after the establishment of this alliance, preferably on the day when smartphones equipped with our system can be launched on the market,"

He looked around, "What do you think?"

"It should be like this," Rubin said.

"Agree," "We agree,"

"Okay," Feng Yiping sat down, "Then, let me talk about my thoughts on everyone's next work arrangements,"

"I think that everyone's most important work in the future will be centered around the establishment of this alliance, which actually means that next, we have to enrich our team..."

Outside the window, night has fallen, and in the conference room, Android executives are even more excited than when Feng Yiping gave a speech to everyone before.

They clearly see that a new and exciting world is slowly unfolding.
