Chapter 2373 Refreshing

"Steve Jobs' iPhone is indeed a very good product," said Wang.

As a mobile phone manufacturer, her evaluation is already very good.

"The experience accumulated by all our peers before, after his development and creation this time, finally opened the door to smart phones,"

This statement is inevitably a bit sour.

But peers are like this. Have we ever seen China Mobile and China Unicom, or ICBC and CCB, Tmall and JD.com... even polite flattery between them?

To be honest, HTC itself is indeed qualified to say such things.

At the beginning of its establishment, HTC obtained the authorization of Microsoft Windows CE (Microsoft's electronic device operating system based on handheld computers), and then exhibited the world's first WIN CE handheld computer at the CES exhibition in the United States in 1998, which was highly recognized by Microsoft and the cooperation relationship between them was further strengthened.

Based on the good cooperation between them and Microsoft at that time, they were able to launch the world's first smart phone equipped with Microsoft Smartphone 2002 software platform in 2002, which can be said to be the world's first mass-produced smart phone.

However, that phone was not as lucky as the iPhone and became a pioneer in the field of smart phones.

But when they first launched that product, they also dreamed of shipping hundreds of thousands or even millions of units a month, just like the iPhone did after it was launched.

But some things are a matter of time and fate.

It should be for this reason that they are so active this time.

Or from the perspective of the development of their company, this is also an inevitable choice for them.

HTC, which is dedicated to smart phones, is a new company established by VIA, which was originally developing well, when it entered a trough period after several years of fierce battles with Intel on patents and suppression by the Wintel Alliance.

The mission of this new company is naturally a new platform to carry their entrepreneurial dreams. Fortunately, judging from the current development trend, they have finally chosen the right direction this time.

Coincidentally, their relationship with Microsoft is no longer the same as before, so Feng Yiping's Android is really the best choice for them.

Although Android is an American company, its boss is Feng Yiping anyway.

After dealing with the mainland for so many years, they all know that in cooperation with their business group, mainland companies are really rare good partners. Generally speaking, only they cheat mainland companies, and very few mainland companies cheat them.

"But I don't quite agree with some of Jobs' views," said Wang.

If she hadn't discussed Android with Feng Yiping, she wouldn't have said such a thing, because judging from the previous situation, Feng Yiping and Jobs had a very good relationship.

But now... everyone knows that after the launch of Android, the biggest impact can only be Apple.

"The era of smart phones can be said to have just begun, and Jobs believes that one product can satisfy all consumers, but we believe that every consumer should be particularly satisfied,"

This should be the significant difference between other mobile phone manufacturers and Apple in strategy. Apple generally tries its best to develop a product, whether it is a user who needs to sell a kidney to afford its products, or a user who has to be ruthless to buy it, or a user who buys it as easily as buying a bottle of mineral water at a convenience store, they only have that one product, and you don't have much room for choice.

Other companies will target different groups. To put it simply, they will launch different products of high, medium and low end to meet the needs of users.

It is hard to say whether these two strategies are right or wrong. We can only see the results of everyone's operation.

Regarding the results of HTC's operation, Feng Yiping remembered a joke later, which was something like this, "Apple phones are like Jay Chou, very tricky, but the technology is good and unique; HTC is like Aaron Kwok, who innovates quickly and has many tricks, but there is never a big breakthrough."

But there are also successful ones. Samsung has gained more market share than Apple through the strategy of launching a large number of machines.

"I agree with you," Feng Yiping nodded.

Frankly speaking, it is difficult for other manufacturers to copy Apple's strategy, because Apple has long established its image as a high-end brand, and it has concentrated all its R&D funds on a few products, which really guarantees the quality of the products.

We also have to admit that Apple has an advantage in the field of design.

Take Google for example. The Nexus series of mobile phones, which were launched later, adopted the same strategy as Apple, invested a lot of resources, and launched only one product. However, the sales volume of flagship mobile phones of other brands was not as good as that of iPhone.

"Since its establishment, HTC has been committed to the research and development of smart phones. At present, it has accumulated a lot of successful experience. It can even be said that, in general, our accumulation in the field of smart phones is far more than some well-known brands in the market,"

Feng Yiping nodded, "I completely believe this,"

HTC's most successful sales before were their handheld computers, and their iPAQ tablet devices were popular in Europe and the United States.

Although their handheld computers were not epoch-making products like the later iPad, they did have more relevant experience.

"So Mr. Feng, if we have the support of such an outstanding system as Android, we believe that we will definitely launch the most popular smartphone on the market," said Mr. Wang.

"I believe HTC has this ability, and I also believe that the Android system will definitely meet HTC's requirements," said Feng Yiping.

"We have no doubt about this. We believe in Mr. Feng and Rubin," said Mr. Zhou. "We fully support the establishment of the Open Handset Alliance,"

"We have no requirements for our cooperation, and we can sign relevant agreements at any time," said Mr. Wang.

Such a statement is indeed generous enough.

"Thank you for your trust. The Open Handset Alliance needs the participation of excellent companies like HTC. The development and prosperity of the smartphone market cannot be separated from the participation of excellent companies like HTC," said Feng Yiping.

He naturally welcomes their statement.

Mr. Zhou looked at Mr. Wang with some excitement, and Mr. Wang said, "So, we want to know when our mobile phones can use the Android system at the earliest."

"Mr. Feng, you also know that many users are looking forward to other options besides Apple."

"Because there are some preparations to be completed, I think we will publicly release the Android system by the end of the year at the latest," Feng Yiping said.

"That's great," Mr. Wang said immediately, "I will let our design department start to do all the relevant preparations now,"

"Mr. Feng, I assure you that HTC will be the first manufacturer to launch a mobile phone equipped with the Android system,"

Again, this is indeed a lady with a man's heart.

Being the first to launch an Android phone does not necessarily guarantee that your product will be popular in the market, but the other negative aspect must be expected.

Everyone can guess that Apple will not give up on the manufacturer that launches the first Android phone.

It seems to be true. Apple has been pursuing HTC relentlessly.

"Thank you Mr. Wang and everyone for your support. I look forward to our pleasant cooperation," Feng Yiping stood up.

"Of course," Mr. Wang held Feng Yiping's hand, smiled, and said a little embarrassedly, "In fact, we still have a request,"

"Haha, please go ahead," Feng Yiping smiled.

"We sincerely hope that Android can optimize the Android system for our mobile phones, so that our mobile phones can be more compatible with the Android system,"

In fact, they have also suffered such losses.

Since Microsoft and Intel formed an alliance, it has rarely optimized the system provided to HTC, which makes the user experience of their new handheld computers and mobile phones even worse than before.

When he heard this, Feng Yiping immediately said, "No problem at all,"

He even hoped that all mobile phone manufacturers could make such a request, so that the Android ecosystem can be simpler and more complete.

"Looking forward to the early public release of Android, thank you Mr. Feng for your precious time,"

"Mr. Wang is polite. We have arranged a dinner in the evening. I hope you can come. Of course, I can't guarantee that there will be delicious food like Wangpin steak,"

Wangpin steak is the representative food of Formosa Plastics, Mr. Wang's family.

"Boss Feng, you are joking," Boss Wang did not refuse, but she stopped at the door, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

ps: Last night, I slept for more than 8 hours, which was rare. When I woke up in the morning, I got my retribution. My eyes were swollen. They were originally small, but now there is only a slit left... I slept in a long time, I am very ashamed! Tomorrow morning's update will definitely be on time.
