Back to 1995

Whether to buy smartphone patents and technology usage rights from Alcatel, or develop it yourself, is a matter of cost and time.

Now the major mobile phone manufacturers have already bought the P6 machine, and have repeatedly dismantled it for countless times. The technology and materials used in the P6 have already been cleared up. There are two roads in front of them, one is from Alcatel Buy technology in hand, which can launch their own branded smartphones within a few months.

There is another way, which is to bypass the patent wall established by Alcatel and develop technology by ourselves. The advantage of this way is that you don’t need to be controlled by others, and you don’t need to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in patent fees to Alcatel’s mobile phones every year, but the disadvantage is the research and development costs. It's too expensive, and the speed of development is too slow. Who knows, when it will be successfully developed, even if it is developed, it may face Alcatel's patent hooliganism and sue them for using certain technologies.

The reason why those mobile phone manufacturers are so passive is inseparable from graphene. In the past, major mobile phone manufacturers invested too much research and development funds in graphene.

After the release of the P6 smart phone, there was a faint voice in the mobile phone industry, threatening that graphene was a scam launched by a certain company to cut leeks, and even the Nobel Prize in Physics was manipulated.

No wonder there are such conspiracy theories, because on Alcatel’s mobile phone, except for a non-existent graphene highly oriented thermal conductivity film, the P6 is indeed used, but the group of mobile phone manufacturers who dismantled the P6 machine found that it was blown to the sky. The gadgets are indeed useful. They can improve the safety performance and service life of mobile phone batteries, but they are only useful. Anyway, in the short term, the difference between them and ordinary batteries has not yet been researched...

Looking back at the sensational graphene, the major mobile phone manufacturers suddenly discovered that, as the first Alcatel mobile phone to discover graphene, except for the fierce shouting and buying a few graphite mines in advance, the rest, the largest Research and development is the graphene highly oriented thermal conductivity film with unknown function, and there is nothing else.

On the contrary, after the release of the P6, under the scrutiny of the media, various companies in the mobile phone industry have gradually figured out what a certain company has done since the discovery of graphene. Anyway, the major mobile phone manufacturers are now desperately developing smartphones. Mobile phones, as for graphene, the mobile phone industry doesn't even look at that thing now!
"As long as those mobile phone manufacturers are willing to join the Android system camp, Alcatel Mobile can license their smartphone patents and technologies!"

Song Yang directly bound Alcatel's smartphone patents and technologies with the Android system.

Of course, when Samsung, HTC, Blackberry, Sony Ericsson and other manufacturers choose to join the Android system camp, they can get the patents, technologies, and systems of smartphones, and can quickly build a smartphone with parts and start selling it. The machine earns a dollar,

But at the same time, it also marks that they automatically gave up the opportunity to compete with Alcatel for high-end smartphones. Even in the future, it will be many years before they want to compete with Alcatel in the high-end smartphone market.

Some things, after giving up at the beginning, if you want to get it back, you need to pay ten times or a hundred times more than the original price, and you may not be able to succeed. In the same sentence, people will eventually be troubled by things that are young and unobtainable for a lifetime , in an industry, the same is true, with a single thought, the ending is completely different!
After thinking about it, Ertian understood Song Yang's intentions. Song Yang's use of this is completely a conspiracy. It depends on those mobile phone manufacturers. Smartphone patents, technologies, systems, then join the Android camp, everything is at your fingertips...

"Then what should we do with the Microsoft WP system?!" Ertian still asked, Microsoft is a big mountain in the heart of all practitioners in the technology industry these days.

Even if the Alcatel mobile phone is the new overlord of the mobile phone industry, the Symbian smart operating system has crushed the Microsoft WP system, Ertian dare not underestimate WP, not because he is afraid of WP, but because Microsoft in this era should have respect.

Unlike facing other mobile phone brands, Song Yang's attitude has completely changed when facing the Microsoft WP system, making Ertian feel murderous.

"All mobile phone software companies and individual developers must choose one of the two. Developers who sign up for the Symbian app store can develop software for both Symbian and Android systems, but they can no longer develop software for the WP system. Otherwise, the Saipan app store will , Will permanently terminate cooperation with it!

For mobile phone manufacturers that joined the WP system camp, Alcatel Mobile will no longer authorize them to use the patents and technologies of smart phones, and PA Semiconductor prohibits the mobile phones of the WP system camp from using 3G chip technologies and patents.

If necessary, let American Telecom also prohibit the provision of mobile network services for 3G users equipped with WP system! "

On the bright side, Song Yang and Microsoft are still allies in the Internet industry, but just like Microsoft's strict defense and prohibiting Song Yang from entering the computer operating system, if there is such a sign, they will directly turn against Song Yang. Similarly, in the field of mobile phone operating systems, Song Yang will not give Microsoft a chance.

Anyway, facing Microsoft WP system, Song Yang's attitude is very clear, that is, kill it all, and don't give it a chance to breathe. Any mobile phone manufacturer or developer who gets involved with WP, Alcatel Mobile will block it.

In the past, Microsoft used this tactic to deal with all kinds of opponents, and it was always beneficial. Now Song Yang returned this tactic to Microsoft to let him feel the evil he had done.

After using up these tricks, if Microsoft still doesn't give up, then Song Yang can let the software companies in the app store make choices, such as ICQ, Amazon, eBay, Uber, Google, and other large and small software, Choose one of the two, put it on the Symbian app store, you can’t go to the WP commercial store to put it on the shelf, see the software in the end, which platform will you choose, how long can WP without users and software support, even if WP can get Nokia and Motorola at the same time How long can it last? !

Not to mention that Microsoft is famous for its many tricks and stabbing allies in the back. Well, maybe one day, Microsoft will finish the operation and swallow Nokia or Motorola directly.

After getting rid of Microsoft, the most threatening Alcatel mobile phone and Symbian smart operating system is probably Apple, which is now a little slower.

Apple is still unknown in the mobile phone industry. Except for testing a phone with Motorola, there is no other movement. But Song Yang believes that with Jobs' personality, he must be tinkering with Apple's first phone now. smart phone.

But Apple, which has lost the opportunity, may make a lot of noise just like its MP3 business, but it is unlikely to overthrow Alcatel mobile phones.

Perhaps in the future, Apple's significance to Alcatel's mobile phone is like that of Apple's system to Microsoft's system. Having such an opponent can avoid antitrust investigations by federal judicial agencies.

However, Song Yang is not worried about whether the relationship between Apple and Alcatel mobile phones will break the dog's head. Anyway, the meat is rotten in the same pot. Song Yang is the major shareholder of Alcatel, and the Bruno family is also the largest shareholder of Apple's board of directors. He will also get more shares in Apple, no matter how they fight, Song Yang will not suffer.

After dealing with these urgent matters, Elthian's expression relaxed, and he said tentatively to Song Yang, "Director Bruno, I hope that the Alcatel Group can be listed before the end of the year!"

After finishing speaking, Ertian said again, "In addition, now that Alcatel Group's business is increasing, I hope to recruit more professional managers to manage the Alcatel Group's business!"

Song Yang listened to Ertian's words, looked directly at him, and didn't speak immediately, but fell silent for a while.

Song Yang has already guessed most of Ertian's thoughts. With the current situation of Alcatel Group, as long as it applies for listing, it is basically a certainty, and recruiting new professional managers to enter the market, Ertian is Prepare yourself for retirement.

Sighing a little, Song Yang is quite satisfied with Elthian's performance over the years. His ability is qualified, and the key is to use it smoothly and know how to advance or retreat. The interior of the Alcatel mobile phone has long been a Shura field.

Rubbing his brows, Song Yang looked at Ertian and said, "Alcatel Group, you can start applying for listing on Nasdaq!"

Alcatel Group has been able to go public a long time ago, but it has been procrastinating. This time, the P6 comes out with a smart phone. There is no problem at all for Alcatel mobile phone to go public. Once it goes public, Alcatel Group will become the mobile phone company with the highest market value in the world. Become a new brand in the global electronic technology industry.

The entire Alcatel Group, as well as the entire Alcatel industry chain, concept stocks, and Wall Street institutions have long been looking forward to Alcatel's listing.

As for what Ertian said, recruiting more professional managers, Song Yang sighed, neither agreeing nor objecting, as the scale of Alcatel Group is getting bigger and bigger, it really needs a new head, This is a matter of time.

For the new head of Alcatel Group, Song Yang asked Ertian to recommend the list and candidates, which was regarded as giving him the greatest dignity and respect. It would take at least a few years for Alcatel Group to select a new head. Before that, Ertian was still at the helm of the Alcatel Group, so there was no need to worry about any trouble.

As the most popular fried chicken in the technology industry, every move of the Alcatel Group has attracted much attention.

At the newly held Alcatel Global Developers Conference, the first news came out that Alcatel mobile phones would provide a subsidy of 200 billion U.S. dollars for three years to all Symbian application store developers. As soon as the news came out, the global software development industry was shaken. !
