Chapter 2479 Alliance

Jobs and Apple are naturally the ones who pay the most attention to this, but they are also very concerned about another thing, that is, the alliance that Feng Yiping personally promoted after talking about it halfway around the world.

After spending more than an hour to introduce Android 1.0 to everyone and winning everyone's affirmation and praise many times, the press conference also turned to this important topic.

"In order to promote the innovation of mobile devices, let users experience the most superior mobile services, and at the same time, it is more convenient for related companies to cooperate and thus ensure the speed of research and development of new mobile devices, after careful consultation, we and the following companies have formed an alliance,"

"After everyone's unanimous agreement, our alliance was named the Open Handset Alliance, and the founding members can be roughly divided into four types,"

"First, the major mobile phone and other terminal manufacturers: Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, HTC, Lenovo, Huawei, Archos..."

When Rubin read the name of a company, the relevant person in charge or representative stood up and greeted the audience with a smile, and Rubin then introduced the representative of that company.

Lawrence Fink and Edward Johnson were somewhat familiar with these companies. After listening to Rubin's final introduction, Fink immediately whispered, "This probably includes the world's major mobile phone companies?"

"In addition to Apple, it does not include Nokia and BlackBerry," Johnson said.

Fink nodded, "That's quite obvious,"

It is indeed quite obvious that the so-called Open Handset Alliance will work together to deal with those companies.

The two also felt that today's trip was not in vain.

Because they intuitively felt everyone's welcome for Android, they can naturally imagine the impact that Android will have on Apple.

Since Android will have an impact on Apple, it is conceivable that Nokia, which still insists on the Symbian system, and BlackBerry, which insists on the BlackBerry OS system, will be even more impacted.

Obviously, they want to optimize their related investments.

"Our second type of allies are mainly telecom operators in various countries around the world, mainly including: AT&T in the United States, China Telecom, China Mobile, China Unicom, T-Mobile in Germany, Telecom Italia in Italy, Telefónica in Spain, and Japan Telegraph and Telephone Corporation..."

This is even more powerful.

In comparison, there are not so many operators currently supporting Apple iPhone.

"The third largest component of our allies is mainly related semiconductor companies, including: Intel, HP, Texas Instruments, ARM, Qualcomm, Infineon, Broadcom, STMicroelectronics..."

Listening to those names and watching those bigwigs standing up with smiles, the media in the venue were a little excited at this time. This is completely the rhythm of catching all the most well-known companies in the relevant fields. It is conceivable that this must be a big deal!

But the last item is even more so, "... Of course, it also includes our software providers: Google, Yahoo, eBay, Amazon, Facebook, YouTube, Alibaba, Netflix, WeChat..."

Except for Microsoft, almost all the well-known and most powerful Internet companies that you are familiar with and often use their services are included.

Think about the current iPhone, which has more applications than before, but still very few. The collective joining of these companies is naturally very much anticipated.

Lawrence Fink and Edward Johnson were a little regretful at this time.

Among these software providers, there are several companies owned by Feng Yiping, as well as some companies that have very close ties with him, but they cannot invest. Just think about it... Alas!

At this time, the big screen is full of the names of these companies. So many well-known companies gathered together, and the impact it brought to everyone is also full.

Many people can't help but think of another well-known alliance in the high-tech industry, the Wintel Alliance.

The Wintel Alliance has strongly promoted the development of personal computers. Obviously, this open mobile phone alliance is committed to promoting the development of smart phones.

The success of the Wintel Alliance has also formed a duopoly of Microsoft and Intel in the personal computer industry. Will this open mobile phone alliance eventually present a similar result?

It is certain that Android, as the core of this alliance, will definitely become a pole in this industry.

"Including Android, a total of 39 companies," Abigail whispered softly in her father's ear.

Rubin on the stage also mentioned this number, "The cooperation of our 39 partners will maintain the universality and connectivity between applications to the greatest extent,"

"The cooperation of our 39 partners will greatly reduce the R&D costs of new mobile phones and other devices, and will accelerate the popularization of mobile devices including smartphones,"

"The cooperation of our 39 partners will drive more companies and capital to enter the mobile terminal-related business..."

"The cooperation of our 39 partners..."

"...With the cooperation of our 39 partners, fully integrated full-mobile functional products will appear as soon as possible,"

"I believe that history will not forget this moment," Rubin even shouted such words.

In response to this, Lawrence Fink and Edward Johnson, two representatives of the American financial community, frowned. Was this a bit too arrogant?

But politicians including Feinstein were applauding enthusiastically at this time.

We will also remember this moment, because we didn't expect that there would be such a world-class well-known company gathered together today. This is a good opportunity to build relationships.

Rubin must not have felt that his previous words were exaggerated. "Partners and friends, I believe that soon everyone will find the positive significance of our alliance to the world."

Amid everyone's applause, the heads or representatives of 39 companies took the stage one by one. Even Feng Yiping was dragged up by Page and Brin this time.

More than 40 people formed a semicircle on the stage, but when everyone held hands, a phrase on the big screen, accompanied by gorgeous fireworks, became larger and larger.

Rubin shouted into the microphone, "Partners and friends, I want to say that from this moment on, a new era has arrived. This era is the era of mobile Internet!"

"Mobile Internet Era", this is exactly the phrase on the big screen.

He was so excited on the stage, and so were the people in the audience. The whole audience stood up and applauded like thunder.

The emergence of the iPhone has indeed made people switch from PC to smartphones in many cases. Now, with the efforts of these 39 world-renowned companies, this trend will undoubtedly become more obvious.

The media excitedly recorded this moment in full, or fixed it on various devices, and excitedly predicted that from now on, "mobile Internet era" will become the hottest word next.

Perhaps it will become the hottest phrase of the year?

Abigail glanced at her father and found that her father seemed to have gotten used to such noise.

That's because Edward Johnson was thinking about another problem at this time. The investment in Nokia, BlackBerry, etc. must be optimized, but at the same time, the investment in the nearly 40 founding members of the mobile phone alliance can be considered to be increased.

The support of everyone on the scene is the best proof.

If this trip will end at this time, it will be really good.

He looked for the figure in the large circle of people on the stage until everyone was about to leave the stage.

Feng Yiping was neither near the center nor at the two ends, which would attract attention. He just stood in the middle of the left side in a low-key manner.

But even so, it did not change the fact that he was the central figure.

The reason why Johnson found him was because when everyone dispersed, he had the most people around him.

Johnson glanced at Lawrence Fink, who happened to be looking at him at this time.

They were obviously thinking about the same problem at this time. If they knew from the beginning that Feng Yiping could unite so many companies in the world, so many world-class companies, they would definitely think more carefully about their plan.

…………

At Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, Jobs also got the full list of the Open Handset Alliance at this time.

He was silent for a long time.

The companies that brought an impact to the press conference brought him pressure, heavy pressure.

He couldn't help but think of the sentence Feng Yiping often said, "Things always have two sides."

Apple's closed business characteristics certainly ensure that they can provide users with high-quality services according to their own wishes and requirements, but this does hinder the diversity of services to a certain extent.

Compared with Android, this disadvantage is very obvious.

But after a moment of silence, he immediately cheered up, "Notify... to come to the meeting,"

Even if the Open Handset Alliance is indeed strong, he still believes that Apple under his leadership will definitely become the most successful company in the field of smartphones, or the most dazzling company in the mobile Internet era.

…………

In Mantingfang, which has suspended external business, at the Android press conference, Feng Yiping, who tried his best to keep a low profile, inevitably became the central figure of this celebration party.

"Feng, congratulations," two California senators in Congress, Feinstein and Boxer, came together, "Thank you for your Android, which has given Silicon Valley another world-class company,"

"Thank you for your support," Feng Yiping gently touched them, "and welcome you to visit the NEXTDOOR campus when it is convenient,"

Feinstein and Boxer were relieved when they heard it, well, they can finally go to Tesla.

The congressmen who asked about the taste immediately surrounded them...

Lawrence Fink and Edward Johnson were also communicating with some people at this time. Many people still felt a little confused about their appearance in this place. They were not related to today's press conference, and it seemed that they had little connection with Feng Yiping's company?

Lawrence Fink and Edward Johnson, while dealing with the people around them, looked at Feng Yiping who was surrounded by so many people over there, and were quite worried. Did they have to publicly apologize to Feng Yiping in such an occasion?
