Chapter 662: The Computer Version of the Application Store
"Open payment, is there any more way for the system to be compatible with this one?"
Leaving from Shenzhou, Chen Yu returned to Huanyu Technology.
Immediately, Chen Yu called over Li Kaifu, who was in charge of the Huanyu system.
"Mr. Chen, we have stepped up time to communicate with major software and hardware manufacturers, and strive to allow more hardware and software to support our Universal System."
I just said that, but looking at Li Kaifu's expression, Chen Yu knew that the effect was not very good.
This is conceivable.
Some big software and hardware manufacturers don't want you to make them compatible, they will be compatible with you.
Like the major PC giants, they have also reached a series of cooperation with Microsoft.
Because it is beneficial to both parties.
Microsoft needs these large software and hardware companies to build their windows ecosystem.
And these large software and hardware manufacturers also need to cooperate with Microsoft to consolidate their market.
It is not only a mutual compatibility issue, but also a huge interest chain issue.
Just like why netbooks can be launched.
It is not only Huanyu Technology that can make money here.
Shenzhou Computer also makes money.
In addition, VIA Electronics, as well as a series of electronic component suppliers, can also make money.
However, although the current Huanyu Technology seems to have great potential, the temporary software and hardware manufacturers have not yet felt particularly great.
"Have you contacted some small software and hardware manufacturers?"
Large-scale software and hardware manufacturers have cooperation with Microsoft and will not be easily compatible with the Huanyu system. Chen Yu thought of those small software and hardware manufacturers.
It's just that Li Kaifu's answer also made Chen Yu frown.
"Those small software and hardware manufacturers are more actively compatible with us, but there are too many small software manufacturers, and it takes time. Moreover, some software and hardware manufacturers have developed our version before.
But the launch effect is not so good? "
"That's also a problem."
Large software and hardware manufacturers have their advantages.
Just like fsh software, when others come, they will directly find fsh to download.
Even if there is software with similar functions to fsh, but others don't know it, they won't download you.
This also holds true for instant messaging.
Everyone knows YY, so as soon as you come, download YY directly.
Even if there is a msn like YY, sorry, I don't know, I won't download you.
Fortunately, Huanyu Technology has satisfied a series of basic online requirements of consumers.
Otherwise, the netbook is impossible to launch.
As long as the basic requirements are met, the entire ecosystem must be established.
And this build speeds up time.
If it can't be established, netbooks can only be popular for a few years at most.
A few years later, when consumers matured, they didn't have much demand for netbooks.
Because, at that time, they needed a more professional notebook.
"Kaifu, you two have another meeting to discuss and see if there is anything else that can be pushed forward."
Chen Yu had a headache.
To compete with Huanyu Technology is really not that easy.
"Chen Yu, do you have any ideas?"
"Old Wu, you treat me as a god, how could it be so fast."
"I mainly want to tell you that I have received another bad news here."
Li Kaifu didn't have many options for the time being, and Chen Yu also had a headache.
At this time, Wu Haijun called again.
"What bad news?"
"It is said that Microsoft may take measures to reduce the price of netbooks."
"Oh."
Chen Yu was a little surprised: "Microsoft is quite poisonous."
Previously, Chen Yu predicted that Microsoft should not immediately start working on the Huanyu system for the time being.
Unexpectedly, the speed of Microsoft's action is so fast.
However, this also shows how powerful Microsoft is.
If there is any turbulence in the market, as long as it threatens his core position, he will kill you in the cradle.
If Windows reduces the price to a reasonable level, the cost of other computer manufacturers can also be greatly reduced.
With the ecosystem created by windows, then their first choice is to return to the embrace of Microsoft.
"However, that's a good thing, and it proves that our netbooks have huge potential."
Chen Yu said with a smile.
But this smile is also a wry smile.
"You can still laugh."
"Otherwise, can I still cry?"
Chen Yu comforted himself.
"You have a big heart, okay, I'll tell you the news, I'll figure it out myself."
"Hey, old Wu, is there anything you can do?"
"We only make computers, not systems, don't ask me, I don't know."
Looking at Wu Haijun who hung up the phone, Chen Yushan smiled.
Just as he was about to turn off his mobile phone, Chen Yu remembered that his Huanyu mobile phone also had a mobile phone system.
Of course, this system is only a feature phone system for the time being, not a smartphone system.
This does not remind Chen Yu of the development history of the smartphone system in the previous life.
Chen Yu had an idea.
With reference to the history of the development of mobile phone systems, you may be able to find ideas.
There are two camps of smartphones in the past life, one is Apple and the other is Android.
Apple isn't the first phone maker to launch a smartphone.
Smartphones have been around for a long time.
Nokia had smartphones at the time.
However, Apple was the first to bring touch and smartphones to the world.
Because of the big sales of Apple's mobile phones, a series of iPhone mobile phone software will continue to emerge.
As for Android.
Because it is open source and free, it has been supported by countless manufacturers around the world.
In this way, a series of software and hardware are also matched with Android.
So, how do consumers use these matching hardware and software in the first place?
The answer is the app store.
There are some differences between mobile operating systems and computer operating systems.
Almost most mobile application software, they are downloaded in the application store.
Even if users know to download from the official website of some manufacturers through the browser, they will download it in the application store.
As for why?
Because of convenience.
Enter the application store, just click a few points, and a series of software will be downloaded.
However, there is currently no such application store on Huanyu mobile phones.
It's not that Huanyu Mobile doesn't want to do it, it's really impossible to do it now.
The main reason is that traffic is very precious now, and it takes a month to open a 50M gprs package.
Even if they come up with an app store with dozens of M downloads at every turn, they won't download it.
Instead, these applications are built directly before leaving the factory, which is more convenient for users.
Moreover, in the era of feature phones, people do not have a particularly large demand for various applications.
At this time, I can make phone calls, send text messages, surf the Internet, chat about YY, and see if I can.
It's just that there is no app store on the mobile phone for the time being, so can it be opened on the computer?
This made Chen Yu find an idea at once.
Yes.
Create an app store on your computer.
If consumers are looking for any application, they can go directly to the application store and download it, right?
If system vendors can create a good promotion environment, they will work closely around you.
"Yes, let's start an app store."
Thinking of this, Chen Yu was a little excited.
However, he calmed himself down and reconsidered the feasibility of the app store.
This function actually has some software housekeeper functions like the previous life 360.
The software housekeeper can not only delete and clean all kinds of software, but also download and update all kinds of software.
Since having this software housekeeper, 360 Security Guard has become the traffic entrance of many software.
A lot of software companies work with 360.
Because everyone knows that through 360, users can download software more conveniently.
However, Chen Yu did not want to use the method of 360 software housekeeper in his previous life.
Because the 360 software housekeeper looks good, but the operation is still a bit complicated.
For example, he needs to install 360.
After installation, he also needs to click on 360, and then click on the software housekeeper.
Don't look at him just a few more steps.
For those professional computer users, it's certainly nothing.
But for those computer novices, this is a problem.
Why not make a desktop shortcut of the application software directly on the desktop?
In this way, it can be downloaded directly, which is much more convenient than 360.
Don't look at it, it's just a few operations less.
Such an idea of saving user operations is also a huge attraction for consumers who are skilled in using computers.
In particular, consumers are very lazy. If they can buy things on the side, they will never go further.
With a few less operation steps, he doesn't want to use more complicated operations.
