Chapter 664: The Birth of a God-Level Application, Soon
"Bill, how did Dell and HP react?"
"I have been friends with them for many years, and they will naturally cooperate closely with us. But..."
Although the chat with Dell and HP was okay, but in the business field, Bill never believed in friendship. He had a good relationship with Apple's Steve Jobs back then, but because of competition, the two became enemies. It's not about character. There are countless capital behind every major company, and there are countless things that affect you.
When the profit reaches a certain point, any cooperation may break down.
"We still have to do both."
Bill told his classmate Steve, who is now Microsoft's CEO.
"I think so too."
Steve nodded: "Dell and HP are commercial companies after all. Although netbooks have not yet exploded globally, it is still possible to try. I don't believe they will not try."
"Steve, what can you do?"
"I think we can also launch a streamlined version of the winodws system and compete with the Huanyu system by drastically reducing the price."
What is the biggest advantage of netbooks, the answer is price.
As long as the price of the system drops to a certain level, then Universal Technology may not have much advantage.
"It's okay to cut prices, but netbooks have completely gotten rid of our windows, and Intel's CPUs, and overall, our costs are still high."
"Of course, we also have to communicate with Intel on this one, and hope they will also cut prices."
"That's fine too."
Bill nodded: "However, I think it's completely free."
"free?"
Steve was a little surprised.
"right."
Bill confirmed: "Our main competition market is now in China, where ordinary individual users use pirated operating systems, and we don't actually receive much money.
Rather than that, we might as well follow for free. "
"If it's free and it's a habit, they won't pay later."
"As long as Huanyu Technology is defeated, the future market is still up to us. Besides, it's not up to them to pay or not. At that time, we will directly bind with computer manufacturers, and they have to pay if they don't want to pay."
"That's a good idea. You're the boss, you have the final say."
Although Steve didn't particularly approve of it, this move was the most deadly for Huanyu Technology.
"By the way, it seems that Universal Technology held a developer conference."
"Yes, it was held last night."
"Is there a video?"
"Yes... I have already asked someone to translate it. Do you want to watch it together?"
"certainly."
For Universal Technology, Bill attaches great importance to it.
Especially after the emergence of netbooks, Bill knew that he had to beat him down before the Universal System developed.
"Hehe, Bill, it's Li Kaifu who is hosting this developer conference."
In the video, as soon as Li Kaifu appeared, Steve laughed.
"I didn't expect this guy to go to Huanyu Technology."
"Aren't you the most optimistic about him back then? I tell you, don't believe them."
This them, Steve naturally refers to those who are different from their skin color.
"Let's see what he has to say."
Bill didn't feel anything.
Although at Microsoft, he was very optimistic about Li Kaifu.
However, Li Kaifu is only technically good, and he does not think that Li Kaifu has achieved much after leaving Microsoft.
For example, Li Kaifu left Microsoft to go to Google and served as the president of Google China, but in fact Google is not developing well in China.
"Hey, what is this?"
After a brief introduction, Li Kaifu entered the topic.
The application mall introduced by Li Kaifu the day before appeared in Bill's eyes through a video.
"This idea is fantastic."
Like Bill, Steve's eyes lit up when he saw the app store.
Both know it.
Through this application store, users not only easier to download and install applications.
What is even more rare is that the app store has provided countless software developers with a more effective promotion plan.
Of course, that's not the point.
The point is.
With this app store, he can say that he has established cooperative relationships with almost all software developers.
More than just partnerships.
It can even be said that all software developers in the future will have to look at the face of their platform.
Otherwise, I'm sorry, I'll take it off the shelf for you.
This is much better than the current windows.
You must know that although windows now monopolize the market, they do not have much control over some other software manufacturers. You can't always screen off these software when the system is updated.
But with the application store, everything has a more reasonable means.
"Steve, why didn't we think of this idea?"
Bill blurted out.
He felt that this was a big mistake in his life.
But after speaking, he blamed himself inwardly.
It's not Steve's fault. If you want to blame it, you can only blame Windows for having no rivals.
Because there are no rivals, although Windows has been updated and upgraded, there are actually many innovative contents that are unexpected.
It's not that Microsoft isn't smart enough, it's that Microsoft simply doesn't think about such ideas.
The reason is very simple, even if there is no such application mall, all the software must be compatible with my ecology?
Everyone can only play according to the rules of the game set by Microsoft.
Simply put, it's a limited way of thinking.
But now, Universal Technology has changed the gameplay and the rules of the game.
All of a sudden, this made countless people discover.
Turns out the new gameplay seems fairer and more fun.
It's not really that technical.
Speaking of level, it is still the same as before, which is a different way of thinking.
In other words, this is the difference between the PC era and the mobile Internet era.
Why did the mobile Internet era surpass the PC Internet era so quickly?
It is not that the mobile Internet technology is more powerful, but the way of thinking of the mobile Internet is more powerful.
In terms of the three-body setting, it is a dimensionality reduction attack.
Creatures born in lower dimensional planes can never understand what kind of weapons the higher dimensional creatures have.
It's like the word light year.
Many people think that even if aliens are discovered, humans will not be able to reach the territory where aliens are.
Because it takes countless light-years to travel to those planets at the speed of light.
But many people may have overlooked that a light-year is not a unit of time, it is a unit of length.
In theory, there are various speeds that exceed light.
Maybe you only need a year to reach a certain planet, with other technologies, he only needs one second.
The application mall looks ordinary, but it is a product of the mobile Internet era.
When such a product is placed in a lower-dimensional plane world, its influence is completely unimaginable by others.
As now.
After the Huanyu Technology Software Developers Conference ended, thousands of software developers were boiling in an instant.
"Everyone, our opportunity is here. The browser market is a huge market. We want to launch our browser as quickly as possible."
"The office software business may not only have office and wps, but also us."
"This is our latest music player, cool me."
Among them, there are some companies that participated in the Universal Technology Software Developers Conference at that time.
But more, those who have not participated.
Before, they were not interested in the Huanyu system, but the video of the Huanyu Technology Software Developers Conference was suddenly exposed, and any software and hardware company could not sit still.
Um.
At this time, there was another software developer named Wang Xin.
Unlike other companies, Wang Xin is only an individual software developer.
He enjoys developing all kinds of software.
It's just a pity that the software he developed has not been recognized by the market because he always thought he was fighting alone and had no financial connections.
The original Wang Xin almost gave up.
But when he saw the Huanyu Technology Software Developers Conference, he resolutely picked up the keyboard again.
He is going to develop an audio and video player software.
The reason for developing audio and video playback software is because he feels that other audio and video playback software is garbage.
What storms, what vanguards... all rubbish.
The audio and video playback software he developed must be more powerful and faster than the audio and video playback software in the market.
To this end, he also gave his audio and video software a name, called Kuai Broadcasting.
Hence the name, it is the ultimate audio and video playback software.
