Back to 1995

Chapter 442 near the water tower
Olaley and others gradually came to realize that the WAP wireless application protocol is obviously just a cover, and even the Symbian system may be just a cover, and the software, chips, etc. behind it may be real. Purpose.

But among them, there are still places that O'Rari can't figure out, or incomprehensible. O'Rally doesn't know how Alcatel's mobile phones can make money with these gadgets.

O'Rari never believed that there would be pies in the sky, and no one would take advantage of it for no reason. Whoever sees his opponent as a taker may be the biggest taker.

Just like killing pigs, until the last moment, everyone will think that they are the one who trades, but it turns out that it is the leek that was cut...

O'Rari hesitated for a while whether Nokia wanted to use the Symbian system. If possible, he would prefer that Nokia develop its own mobile phone system, and at least have partial control over the mobile phone operating system.

But it will take time, time is too tight, O'Rali doesn't know how much impact the P1 mobile phone will have on the mobile phone industry, but he knows that there is not much time left for Nokia, and the next generation of models, Nokia must achieve the same level as the P1. The level of technical level is enough, and the function must also keep up.

Brand advocates and product believers are all bullshit. If those things work, Nokia will not have a bright future at all. Motorola had few users back then, so it should be discarded, and electronic products are nothing else. Things can't be replaced yet.

O'Rari worries that if it takes too long to develop the system and develop new functions, Nokia's rivals will vote for the Symbian camp, which is not good news for Nokia.

In the final analysis, it is still the major mobile phone manufacturers, it is impossible to trust each other, they can only fall into a prisoner's dilemma, and no one knows who is the opponent!
"Of course, these are just suggestions. Alcatel mobile phones will not force mobile phone manufacturers to use the Symbian system, but if they are willing to join the Symbian system, the Symbian system will be able to form a Symbian alliance to make the mobile phone industry face the challenges of telecommunications, When chips have other industries, they have more say, that's all!"

"Everyone can consider this agreement, as long as the Symbian system exists for a day, it will remain valid, but..."

Song Yang said that there is no coercion or threat, but his words are a bit aggressive, "Saipan system will launch a platinum cooperation plan. The sooner you join the Saipan alliance, the more special treatment you can get. If mobile phone manufacturers get the Platinum List of the Symbian system, they may get some permissions of the Symbian system, allowing the Symbian system to deeply optimize the mobile phone, etc. In terms of chips, they can be equipped with the latest chips designed by ARM and so on!"

Song Yang threw out some sweetness, and it depends on whether there are any mobile phone manufacturers who want to snatch it. For some mobile phone manufacturers, open some Symbian permissions, conduct in-depth optimization for them, and make the Symbian system more suitable for their mobile phones, etc., use Get up more smoothly etc.

This is to let the major mobile phones compete with each other, and the Symbian system can make a difference, and the fisherman will benefit!

When Olari and Sandor left the meeting room, they were full of thoughts. They took a gift from Alcatel mobile phone, a P1 mobile phone, and left the conference center building in a hurry.

When I got back to the car, I didn’t stop much, and I didn’t have any interest in participating in the banquet prepared by Nokia’s North American headquarters. Instead, I hurried back to Finland to let the Finnish Nokia engineers conduct a professional analysis on the P1 mobile phone. The next generation of Nokia phones makes a difference.

"What do you think of the Alcatel phone and the P1?"

On the car going to the airport, O'Rari suddenly spoke to Kallasvuo Kallasvuo, the president of Nokia North America, who was by his side all the time but rarely spoke today.

Nokia surpassed Motorola because the North American market is an important reason. The Finnish market is only so big, and North America is now the world's largest mobile phone market. Not to mention mobile phones, other electronic products are the same. Basically, whoever wins America wins the world.

Whoever occupies the American market is the global leader in mobile phones. Since last year, Nokia’s sales in America have been on par with Motorola’s.

And it can go so smoothly, all of this is inseparable from the president of Nokia North America, Kallasvuo Kallaslava. Kallaslav Kallasto is a person who is difficult to leave a deep impression on people when they meet for the first time. What kind of style is Edison, the boss of the North American investment bank? Compare it with Kompekay, the North American boss of Nokia. If you are not an insider, you probably won’t think of him. Just like today’s meeting, Kallasvuo didn’t say a word.

But it is this kind of Kallasvuo who has been reused by Olari, and even treats Kallasvuo like he is facing his own successor.

At this point, neither Nokia nor the outside world have ever thought that the next generation of heads of big companies will start to observe and cultivate early. Of course, there are also airborne, but the risk of airborne is too great. One thought of heaven and one thought of hell , A great man was airborne, just like Jotus of Wang An Computer, he is a great man who can turn the tide, but it is also possible to airborne one to dig his own grave.

It's like a mobile phone brand that recruited a president from Microsoft, but ended up killing the mobile phone brand and selling the mobile phone brand to Microsoft at a low price. Then the president who came by airborne returned to Microsoft and continued to be a My director has gone, but I don't know if the board of directors of that mobile phone brand has downloaded the anti-fraud app...

The same is true for Olaley, who has now found more than six candidates for the head of Nokia, including Nokia's chief strategy officer, Marty Alahuta, who has formulated the global strategy for Nokia, and the most important department of Nokia, the phone department. Karasvuo and others are all considered geniuses, and they have made great contributions to Nokia.

Compared with other people, Kallasvuo is far less famous in terms of popularity. People inside Nokia never thought that one day Kallasvuo would become the head of the Nokia mobile phone empire, and there have always been rumors that Nokia will Choosing a "young" leader allows Nokia to keep up with the trend of technology. After all, it is impossible for technology companies to break away from the trend and become ruthless, which means falling behind.

But O'Rally, on the contrary, he thinks very highly of Kallasvuo. Kallasho's low-key behavior and introverted personality do not mean that Kallasham is timid in doing things. Kallasri joined Nokia as a legal consultant. He was sent to America to take charge of the business, and in the past few years, Nokia's performance in America is obvious to all.

Being able to win Motorola in North America against local tycoons, to reach such a level, and even make Nokia's sales surpass Motorola in America, Kallasvuo has a desire to attack and an adventurous character, but he is not weak at all!

Kallasvuo, who had been silent all this time, finally opened his mouth after hearing what O'Rali said. Kallasvuo's tone was so calm that he couldn't even feel the fluctuations in his tone, "If the next generation of mobile phones can still maintain the level of P1, then Alcatel mobile phones will be able to It will be one of Nokia's strongest competitors in the Americas, and even... in the global market."

Kallasvuo's words were conservative, but O'Rari could hear the meaning in his words. Obviously, he meant to put the threat of Alcatel mobile phones before Motorola.

"The P1 mobile phone is not easy to predict. It depends on the user's acceptance of these new functions, but some functions, such as surfing the Internet, e-mail and even mobile games, may become the trend of future mobile phones."

O'Rari nodded. Alcatel mobile phones are not worth mentioning to the current Nokia, but O'Rally can't underestimate the opponent, even if it is only possible to become Nokia's future opponent, O'Rally can't underestimate.

"Nokia needs you to keep Nokia the No. [-] mobile phone brand in the American and North American markets. Nokia can't bear to lose the North American market, especially when the Asian market is still under development!" O'Rari explained to Kallasvuo.

Kallasvuo opened his mouth, he is not the kind of person who talks nonsense, "I try my best, but Motorola is still not to be underestimated, it is still Nokia's strongest rival in North America, and Alcatel mobile phones, Ericsson, Siemens, etc. may also be Nokia A new opponent."

Motorola is now in decline, but it is still only at a disadvantage against Nokia. Facing other mobile phone brands, it is still crushing. Not to mention Alcatel mobile phones, Siemens, Ericsson, etc. are also eyeing.

Not only Nokia, but also Alcatel mobile phones are being discussed, as are Motorola, Ericsson, Siemens and other mobile phone brands participating in the meeting today.

In the San Jose Convention Center, after Olali and others left, Ertian couldn't help asking Song Yang, "Will they join the Saipan Alliance?"

"It depends on the sales of the Alcatel P1!"

Song Yang replied that the higher the sales of P1, the greater the pressure on Nokia and other mobile phone manufacturers. If they don’t want to lose the market, they can only join the Symbian Alliance. How do you expect other manufacturers to use it.

"Song," Mike Chigley said to Song Yang at this time, "Alcatel France, congratulations on P1 being a big seller!"

When he said this, Mike Chigli felt a little weird. The Alcatel mobile phone was sold from the France Telecom Group, and it has nothing to do with the current Alcatel France. If the P1 mobile phone is sold, then It is estimated that the French Alcatel Group will inevitably be ridiculed, but if the P1 cannot be sold, their mobile communication project will not be able to start, which makes Mike Chigli quite entangled.

No matter how entangled his heart was, Mike Chigli still said, "French Telecom Group, together with American Telecom and Telephone and Telegraph Group, will start to set up mobile communication equipment in America and North America!"

Mobile phone network access is not a small project. In addition to mobile phones, it also needs the support of telecom operators. This is a huge telecom market. Communication equipment, base stations, signal towers, lines, etc. are all huge markets.

After paying a large sum of money to the public relations company under the WPP Group, Alcatel's mobile phone got news and began to fly all over the United States.

First, it announced the establishment of the WAP Forum Association. Alcatel Mobile announced that it would allow all mobile phone users to use the mobile Internet. Then it announced the establishment of the Symbian System Alliance, inviting major mobile phone manufacturers, software developers, and individual developers to join the Symbian System Alliance. Class Union.

These news made many passers-by feel a little confused. They didn't know what these had to do with ordinary users. After the news that came out later, after Alcatel mobile phone will hold a global product launch conference, the outside world finally understood that it was related to a certain air conditioner brand. After trying so hard to praise someone, after a lot of tossing, it was finally as if they were going to live broadcast to sell goods...
