My Age of Investment

   Chapter 1079 Mingxiu plank road, dark Chen warehouse

  "Just yesterday, Microsoft, HTC, and T-Mobile jointly held a press conference and stated that they would release a brand new smartphone in September.

  The three companies have a clear division of labor. T Mobile is responsible for customization and sales, and HTC is responsible for foundry. It is equipped with Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system. "

  In the meeting room of the Android office park, Lu Qi stood on the stage, looking at Xia Jingxing, Lin Bing, and Zhou Guangping sitting under the stage with a calm face, and said with earnest heart: "This is obviously a well-prepared action!

  The business alliance formed by their three companies will break hands with the two major business alliances "Android and Fuxing Mobile, Fleison Telecom", "IOS and Wisdom Fruit, ATT Telecom"! "

  Lin Bing frowned and said: "I remember HTC joined the Android Open Alliance? Did I remember wrong?"

  Lu Qi nodded, "You remember correctly, HTC has joined the Android Alliance, but you also know that our alliance is very loosely managed in order to maintain its momentum, and it cannot restrain the mobile phone manufacturers' "two-sided and three-handed" behavior.

  I estimate that Wang Xuehong is worried that Android will fully support the revival of mobile phones, so he simply relies on Microsoft.

  Of course, it is also possible that Microsoft has offered HTC some recruitment benefits, such as the first representative model of Microsoft's mobile phone operating system, the full support of Microsoft's software ecosystem, and so on.

  Then, Wang Xuehong became tempted. She would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, and hugged Microsoft's father's thigh. "

With a "bang", Zhou Guangping slapped the table fiercely, and said angrily: "What do you keep doing this kind of villain who jumps repeatedly? Lu Qi, I think you Android should remove HTC from the league. Delisted from the list of members.

  If you don’t kill chickens and monkeys, other manufacturers will follow, and the good situation of the Android Alliance will be ruined. "

  Lu Qi smiled, did not say a word, turned his gaze to Xia Jingxing, who had been silent and seemed to be thinking seriously.

  Xia Jingxing is indeed considering this breaking news.

  I have to say that the three companies have done something concealed enough. If they weren’t restrained and suddenly jumped out to announce the news of their cooperation, they would have been kept in the dark.

  Xia Jingxing glanced at Zhou Guangping and gave him a look for his own experience. Need you to teach others how to do things at Android?

   Although the relationship between the two companies is close, it does not mean that they are one company. Android needs more manufacturers to carry its own systems instead of reviving a mobile phone.

  Looking at Shang Xia Jingxing’s eyes, Zhou Guangping knew that he had been trained again, and quickly moved his gaze to other places.

  "Microsoft moved very fast. We just terminated the cooperation with Yahoo Mail and Internet Explorer. They immediately threw such a cooperation plan to the market. Are they declaring war on us?"

  Xia Jingxing asked and replied: “Whether he declares war or demonstrates, we just need to bury our heads in doing our things.

  In three months, HTC’s mobile phone will be released, which means that they were preparing for this project last year? "

  Speaking of this, Xia Jingxing laughed at himself, really underestimating Microsoft!

   Mingxiu plank road, dark Chen Cang!

   On the surface, I blended oil with Android and Fuxing mobile phones, and even cooperated with him to acquire Yahoo some time ago, but secretly held back such a big move.

  If it weren't for the sudden exposure, they would really be caught off guard.

  He remembered that HTC was the first Android phone launched together with T Mobile-HTCG1.

  But in this life, development has gone wrong, and HTC has joined the Microsoft camp.

  Is this good news? Still bad news?

  For Fuxing mobile phones and Android, there may be different answers.

  "The three companies are coming on fiercely. Before the official release of the mobile phone, they can’t wait to announce the news. It should still be affected by the release of our new phone and Wisdom Fruit."

  Lin Bing asked tentatively: "Afraid that our new machine will steal the market?"

  Xia Jingxing nodded, "On the one hand! After a year of sales of FX1 and iPhone, the market for smartphones has been ignited.

  Neither we nor Wisdom has any experience in mobile phone manufacturing. We are newcomers in the industry. We can actually sell one or two million mobile phones in half a year, and they are still expensive high-end mobile phones.

  Especially us, purely newcomers in the consumer electronics industry, Zhiguo has sold computers for more than 30 years, and there is a brand heritage.

  Seeing this, which manufacturer will not be tempted by the new smart phone? Will there be no ideas?

  I estimate that HTC is just the beginning, and more mobile phone manufacturers will launch large-screen smartphones with no physical buttons like Fuxing mobile phones and Wisdom Fruits.

  Fuxing mobile phones must maintain their own leading advantages and must not live on their laurels. Products need to be innovated and the supply chain needs to be sorted. At the same time, the international market must be further opened to allow Fuxing mobile phones to enter more countries and regions for sales.

In the same way, Android also needs to continue to work hard. Fuxing mobile phone has already made a name for the Android system. Next, Android will increase the market share of the operating system. In addition to its own system technology upgrade and innovation, it also needs to expand more mobile phone manufacturer partners. . "

Upon hearing this, Lin Bing and Lu Qi both solemnly nodded towards Xia Jingxing.

  If it was said that they were still a bit quiet in the happiness and complacency of the smart phone leader, then now with the efforts of HTC and Microsoft, the whole person has calmed down a lot.

  The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, who would dare to underestimate Microsoft, which is paying more and more attention to the smartphone market?

   "Of course, HTC, Microsoft, and T Mobile have entered the game. On the other hand, it is a good thing."

  "Good thing?" Lu Qi looked at Xia Jingxing with a surprised expression.

   "Yes, good thing!"

  Xia Jingxing explained with a smile: “We are all fans of new smart phones, and our enemies are traditional mobile phone manufacturers represented by Nokia, Motorola, and Samsung.

  If new smart phone manufacturers want to grow, they must inevitably grab market share from traditional mobile phone manufacturers.

  The addition of HTC, Microsoft, and T Mobile actually speeds up this "grab" process, which can speed up the development of the smartphone industry, and everyone will make the cake together.

  Of course, after the cake gets bigger, it will inevitably have to fight again to determine each other’s market ranking and status.

  So, this is both an opportunity and a challenge. "

  Lu Qi suddenly realized, he nodded and said: "It makes sense, we have been recruiting Android application developers recently, and there are very few responders.

It’s not that everyone looks down on Android, but that the market and business models are immature. Many large-scale enterprise developers are waiting and watching, so small developers like to bring their own dry food and develop software applications for their feelings and interests day and night. .

  If the smartphone market suddenly breaks out, practitioners in the entire industry and the industry chain can benefit from it, and no one will wait and see anymore. "

  Xia Jingxing nodded, "I like a sentence very much, standing on the vent, pigs can fly!

  The dawn of mobile Internet entrepreneurship has emerged, and this is a new outlet.

  Android can cooperate with Envision Venture Incubator, such as the establishment of a developer fund, developer awards and other projects to mobilize the enthusiasm of developers and support them.

  Andrew said that the incubator has recruited many entrepreneurial students in the past one or two years. After a long time of tossing about it, it hasn’t become famous.

  Android can send people to give lectures, to show young people a clear way, can all the software on the computer try to move into the phone?

  Not only large-scale software such as social media, e-commerce, and entertainment, but also small tools such as bookkeeping, weather, and management of women's menstrual periods, all contain endless opportunities for entrepreneurship.

  The current mobile Internet is a virgin land, waiting for entrepreneurs to cultivate. "

  Lu Qi smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll go to talk with Andrew when I come down. I'm worried that the developers of the Android platform are not enough."

  Xia Jingxing smiled. Envision Capital selects and trains entrepreneurs. The Android mobile platform provides entrepreneurial opportunities. The software developed is then loaded on the Fuxing mobile phone. It is a closed business loop that can eat from the head to the tail.

  Andy Rubin, who has been listening without interruption, suddenly asked, “I wonder how Google’s mobile operating system is developing?”

  Hearing this, everyone's expressions became solemn, and they almost forgot the heavyweight player.

  Android, Wisdom Fruit, Microsoft, plus Google, it’s a four-nation melee!

  Furthermore, the four players all have great backgrounds, all of them are large companies that want money and rich people.

   However, to be more realistic, it seems that Android has the worst strength, because the other three are giants with a market value of tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions of dollars, and each is a listed company.

  In addition, it is worth mentioning that after entering 2008, the stock price of Wisdom Fruit has rebounded strongly with the increase in mobile phone sales, sweeping away the haze of last year.

  Although the development has suffered a slight setback, the overall strength still exists.

  Xia Jingxing smiled faintly: "Google, I guess they are still working on research and development at this time. They entered the track late and it took a lot of time!"

  Actually, Xia Jingxing didn’t know what was going on with Google, because there was no commercial espionage.

  However, compared to the previous life, Google in this life did not acquire the R&D foundation of Android, and it started operating system R&D two years later. Even with huge financial strength and technological advantages, development was also greatly restricted.
