Chapter 742 Wan Yan Wants to Make a Mobile Phone
The direction of history is different, and Zhi Duoxing faces more challenges, but Zhang Yang has a long-lost pride. Isn't it more interesting to face unknown challenges?
I remember that after Motorola left Symbian in the previous life, it not only supported Microsoft's mobile phone operating system, but also developed a LINUX operating system, which of course was not very popular.
I don't know if that operating system still exists, but it doesn't matter. Zhang Yang firmly believes that the Zhiduoxing system is the best and will become the absolute mainstream in the market.
And he also knows how to make the system better accepted by consumers, one is more manufacturers support, let consumers get used to the operating mode of this system. The other is to combine with more software to give consumers a more convenient feeling.
In the previous life, Microsoft's mobile phone operating system failed to develop because it was poorly integrated with other software.
Duan Yongping saw that Zhang Yang attached great importance to this matter and understood the urgency of the matter. He will contact more hardware manufacturers as quickly as possible to promote the Zhiduoxing system together.
But before that, he felt that those hardware manufacturers should see more possibilities of the Zhiduoxing system.
"Chairman, I have an idea. The basic version of our Zhiduoxing system takes up very little memory and is easy to operate. Can it be used on the new MP4?"
"I took a look and found that there are many similarities in operation, and apart from the communication function, the functions of MP4 and mobile phone are not much different, but the direction of enhancement is different."
"In the future, I also want to apply the operating system to handhelds and video game consoles. Our current Zhiduoxing system already has the shadow of the previous operating system, which will give consumers a sense of function upgrades, and will not make them feel that Big change."
Zhang Yang was very satisfied with Duan Yongping's words: "Of course, this idea is very good. Go tell Li Junsheng and let him make this a priority."
In fact, when the operating system was first upgraded, many people felt that they were not used to it, and they could get used to it after a few days. And many functions will be easier to operate, and they will feel that the current one is more useful than the previous one.
Just like using the XP system and suddenly upgrading to WIN7, you will feel uncomfortable. But after a few days, I felt nothing, and the basic operation remained the same.
"Then can we launch a mobile phone with a full keyboard? This type of mobile phone is still very popular in the market, especially some business people. This technology is not difficult, and we can do it."
Zhang Yang looked at Duan Yongping: "Is it okay to use our operating system? Then do it.
Remember, when launching a product, we must do a good job of market research. We cannot launch any failed products to give other competitors a chance. "
The impression that Zhiduoxing gives consumers now is that every product launched is very successful and people like it. Once a product fails, the impact is very large.
On the way to the rise of Zhiduoxing brand, Zhang Yang didn't want to take this blow. Of course, it doesn't mean that the company should become conservative. If you are optimistic about the products, don't hesitate to spend more on promotion.
The two were chatting, when there was a knock on the door, Xiao Wang walked over and opened the door, and Jiang Wanmeng came in.
"Old Jiang, why did you come here suddenly and didn't even make a phone call?" Zhang Yang said with a smile.
"I came here on purpose to find you. It's okay to find the boss." Jiang Wanmeng sat down and put the bag aside.
"Is it the company's business that you came to see us specifically?" Zhang Yang glanced at Duan Yongping, and found that the other party's eyes were also a little dazed.
"Yes, it's about the company's business. I heard that your new MP4 has added the function of a digital camera, right? I'm here to talk about licensing this technology. Will it not be used by Wan Yan?"
"Old Jiang, you are quite well informed about this news. We are still in the experimental stage and haven't finished it yet. According to the agreement between our two companies, this technology must be licensed to you." Duan Yongping laughed and said Why is it a big deal.
"That's fine. With this technology, Wanyan will definitely be able to take it to the next level. Our multi-video format playback software has also succeeded, and it performs better than before. It can also be licensed to Zhiduoxing. But this is not me. The main point, I'm here to talk about another cooperation."
"We, Wanyan, plan to make mobile phones."
Zhang Yang was just throwing a piece of candied date into his mouth, he was so anxious to speak that he almost choked.
"You said Wan Yan will make a mobile phone? When did you decide?"
"Chairman Zhang disagrees?" Jiang Wanmeng frowned, it was difficult.
"Dong Zhang, Wanyan currently has two main products, one is an optical drive and the other is an MP4. The sales of other products are very poor, and the patent licensing fees are getting less and less."
"Of course, these two products are enough to ensure that Wanyan Company will make money, but we have also invested in many software companies and do technology research and development ourselves."
"Once MP4 goes downhill, does Wanyan have any hardware products? Specializing in software, Wanyan's strength can't be ranked first. Besides, the two of you should also know that the golden sales period of MP4 is not long, and at most two In three years, it will inevitably start to go downhill, and I have to prepare early."
Jiang Wanmeng has actually thought about it for a long time, but he thought that the mobile phone industry was too competitive, but now he sees a new direction, which is smartphones.
In the past two years, not many people bought smartphones, the level of intelligence was not high, and the price was very expensive. Few people in China care about them, even in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai.
However, a lot of changes have taken place in the past two years, especially since last year, it seems that smart phones have begun to exert their strength. This year, Zhiduoxing also started to make smartphones, obviously optimistic about this market.
Jiang Wanmeng thinks that smartphones are like the VCD they launched at the beginning. When compared with video recorders, many people think that it is not easy to succeed, but they have obvious advantages in technology.
The later result was VCD and subsequent DVD, which completely eliminated VCRs and other standards, and evolved to Blu-ray DVD.
Today's smart phone market will definitely flourish. Even some small domestic manufacturers have started to produce some touch-screen mobile phones?
This is the trend, and Wan Yan wants to join it.
But Wanyan didn't have the relevant technology, and it was too expensive to buy, and she couldn't buy a good one, so she came to Zhiduoxing, hoping to get technology authorization from here.
Then rely on Wanyan's brand effect and sales channels to promote the product, and it will take two to three years for consumers to accept Wanyan's mobile phone. Anyway, Wanyan's MP4 and other products can make a lot of money in the past two to three years, which is enough to subsidize Loss of cell phone.
Three years later, Wanyan's mobile phone will also gain a firm foothold. For at least ten years, there is no need to worry about Wanyan not having hardware products to sell.
"Old Jiang, have you made up your mind?"
