Chapter 1277 If you want to take it, you must give it first

"The popularity of P6 is not only the touch screen operation that is completely different from the functional machine, but also its Symbian smartphone operating system, which is also very important. It gives P6 a soul!"

"What I value the most is the Symbian app store, which was launched on the P1 phone, but only on the P6 can it play its due role.

I have reason to believe that the person who designed the Symbian application store at the beginning probably anticipated today, he is an absolute genius! "

On the TV station, there is also a heated discussion about P6. Several guests invited by the TV station are arguing in full swing, arguing about the advantages of P6 and why it is so popular.

However, among the guests invited by these TV stations, there are indeed a few, and there are really a few brushes.

"In the era of smartphones, not only the hardware has changed, the surprises brought by the P6 may far exceed our expectations.

Alcatel is about to hold a new Global Developers Conference. This developer conference, I think, may change the entire mobile phone software industry.

Based on the Symbian app store on the P6 mobile phone, as well as the recent popular games such as "Angry Birds", the future Symbian app store may become a business that is not inferior to mobile phone hardware revenue! "

Watching this professor from Stanford University on TV, Song Yang also had to admit that the level of Stanford University is indeed amazing for being able to rise rapidly among the universities in America in the past few years.

The Symbian app store just started showing up on the P6 machine, and someone could see its potential.

Song Yang is now in the Alcatel Group headquarters in the suburbs of San Jose. Perhaps, it should not be called the suburbs. The San Jose City Council has passed a resolution to plan this place as a new development area in San Jose in the future. , American swords are all beginning to tilt here, and it will take a few years for this place to become the new center of Silicon Valley!

Since the release of P6, Song Yang has basically been on the side of Alcatel mobile phones these days. Now Alcatel mobile phone is the biggest cash cow among all the industries in Song Yang's hands.

"Director Bruno!"

The door of Song Yang's office was pushed open, and Ertian walked in with a happy face. During this time, he was almost blown up by the media. The best professional manager of the year in America locked the winner half a year in advance .

Based on the performance of P6, whether it is Jobs, Immelt, Ballmer or something, it is difficult to compete with Ertian for this title.

"There are more than 2400 developers applying to participate in the Alcatel Global Developers Conference this year, and more than [-] software companies!"

After sitting down, Ertian said to Song Yang that every year after the product launch event, Alcatel Mobile will hold a developer conference.

It’s just that the previous developer conferences didn’t attract so much attention, but this year is different. The P6’s epic smartphone explosion, coupled with the P6’s skyrocketing Uber and the new Pets pet platform, have made countless software companies , as well as individual developers, saw the opportunities brought by P6.

Who doesn’t want to be the next Uber, Pets, especially Uber, it’s just an empty shelf. As a result, relying on P6, it directly got a valuation of 45 billion dollars, and a lot of venture capital companies are waving money to invest Uber, now that Uber has started to operate in big cities such as New York and Los Angeles, is like the new star of Silicon Valley, which company in Silicon Valley does not want to do this? !

Even if you take [-] steps back and don't become the lucky one like Uber, if you can develop a smartphone game such as "Angry Birds", it will definitely make a lot of money.

P6 is now being studied under a microscope. Many software companies and game companies around the world are watching the game "Angry Birds" go on a crazy road.

Since its launch, this paid game has been soaring all the way. When the number of users exceeded 500 million, the revenue broke through tens of millions of dollars. A game that can reach this point almost marks that it has become a hit!

Now "Angry Birds" is launching the Android system version, as the "masterpiece" of smart phones, in the future, whether it is a Symbian smart phone, an Android smart phone, or an Apple or WP smart phone system, if you don’t install this game, It is estimated that it will be ridiculed for not being a smart phone.

Some professional Wall Street analysts have estimated that the global registered users of the game "Angry Birds" may break through the skyline with the popularization of smart phones. It is not impossible that the monthly active users will exceed 7000 million Maybe, for comparison, even if Wangzhe Pesticide was at its peak, there were only about 38 million monthly active users, which is only [-]% of that of this game...

If you can't get Uber, you can make a lot of money by making a game like "Angry Birds". The games developed, such as Snake Eater, Happy Xiaoxiaole, and several games such as Angry Birds and Temple Run this time, have all shined through the P6. The revenue of the Saipan App Store during this period The turnover has exceeded [-] million US dollars!

This time, I don't know how many software development companies and individual developers around the world have come to participate in the Alcatel Mobile World Developers Conference. They are all gearing up and preparing to do a big job.

"It's different from before. The Symbian system is no longer open source. If you want users of the Symbian system to have enough software and applications to use, you need the support of developers!"

Song Yang looked at Ertian and said, if you want to take it, you must give it first, and if you want to rely on the Saipan app store to lie down and make money, you must first fatten it up.

Just like the Apple App Store, when enough computers, mobile phones, tablets, smart watches, TVs and other products are sold, enough developers are added to develop software for the Apple App Store, so that the Apple App Store, A year's revenue can exceed one trillion US dollars, which is simply lying down and making US dollars!

"Software companies and individual developers may become the most important assets of the Symbian application store in the future. It is impossible for the Alcatel Group to develop all the software. If they want to compete with Android, WP and other mobile phone systems in the future, they need these Developers need support!

Alcatel Group needs to guarantee the income of these developers, and let software companies and individual developers all over the world "know" that developing software for the Symbian application store can earn a lot of dollars, and it is a lot of dollars ! "

Song Yang said to Ertian, "Only when the Symbian app store becomes the largest app store in the mobile phone industry, has enough users and enough developers, can Alcatel mobile phones implement the "Saipan tax", and users use When paying for software in the Symbian app store, Alcatel mobile phones can draw a 30% commission!

In the future, maybe one day, the revenue of the Symbian app store will exceed one trillion US dollars, and the commission income from the Symbian app store will also exceed the income from selling hardware! "

Ertian swallowed his throat when he heard this, he was choked by the trillion dollar pie painted by Song Yang.

Ertian also has countless professionals in the mobile phone industry who are quite optimistic about the Symbian app store, but they have never thought about the Saipan app that can be seen and touched but cannot be displayed in the P6 mobile phone. The store's annual turnover exceeds one trillion dollars. Rao Ertian, who often eats the big cakes baked by Song Yang, feels choked at this time. It's not that he doesn't believe in the cakes baked by Song Yang, but It's too scary...

"Hopefully, I get a chance to see that one day!"

Ertian didn't know what the scene would be if that day really happened, what the situation of the Alcatel Group would be, and what the market value and revenue would be.

However, even if the Alcatel Group can reach that point, it is probably not in the hands of Ertian. In fact, he knows his ability and knows how much he has. Now he manages the huge Alcatel Group. He felt that his strength was beyond his reach. If it was expanded ten times and a hundred times, the revenue of just one app store would break trillions of dollars. At that time, the Alcatel Group could not be at the helm of Ertian, right? , he knew it well.

As soon as the P6 comes out, no other mobile phone manufacturer can threaten Alcatel's position in the high-end mobile phone field within at least ten years, but Ertian feels that this may be the time for him to retreat.

Now, Ertian's status in the world, worth, fame and fortune, and power are all there. The only thing Ertian has not let go of is that Alcatel is listed. Ertian wants to see the glory of his career. Alcatel was listed on NASDAQ at the extreme. At that time, Ertian had no regrets. If he retreated, he might get a good story. It would be better for him to go by himself than to be rejected due to lack of ability. It is much more decent to drive people away, and everyone likes power, but Ertian has self-knowledge...

"I understand that at this Global Developers Conference, I will ask the Symbian system to formulate a huge incentive subsidy plan for all developers, so that they can be bound to the chariot of the Symbian App Store! "

Song Yang nodded, looking at Ertian's expression, he felt that he seemed a bit weird, but he didn't think much about it.

"There are a few other things, Director Bruno!"

Ertian said with a solemn expression, "Mobile phone brands such as Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, HTC, etc. are all desperately developing smartphones, and many of them even want to license smartphone patents from Alcatel. Shall we license them?!
In addition, Microsoft is vigorously promoting the WP system. There are rumors that Motorola has decided to cooperate with Microsoft's WP system. There is no news from Nokia, but it is said that they are not willing to join the Android system camp! "

In the past few years, the mobile phone industry has been overwhelmed by a certain company. A lot of research and development funds have been used to research and develop graphene technology.

Smartphones are popping up again now. Many small and medium-sized mobile phone manufacturers have no money to develop smartphones due to lack of research and development funds. Ericsson and other companies are also short of funds and living a tight life, so they have to make compromises and ask Alcatel Mobile to authorize them to use smart phone technology. It is cheaper to buy it than to develop it yourself.
