how i bought the whole world

In the mobile phone market before 2004, the smartphone system has always been dominated by the Symbian system.

It is not that there are no other mobile phone systems trying to challenge the status of Symbian mobile phones, but the systems they designed are either expensive or have a small audience. The limelight of smartphones is unstoppable for a while, and people are proud of using Symbian smartphones. Sony Ericsson, Motorola and Nokia formed a Symbian company and made a lot of money. aimed at the smartphone market.

However, in 2003, Motorola suddenly announced the launch of Symbian for unknown reasons. Soon after, Samsung and LG also claimed to quit using the Symbian system.

I guess the reason why these companies do this is actually related to the fantasy group.

It's not that I feel good about being arrogant. The reason is very simple. People find that the kernel system of Symbian mobile phones cannot support social networking and web page 2.0 applications. Its camera and upload functions are either missing or need to be improved. It is a convenient and durable operating system. If the Symbian mobile phone enters the browser mobile version of the social networking site, the system will often crash and freeze, which has caused a lot of trouble for customers.

This makes Symbian mobile phones into a very embarrassing situation. They have high requirements for hardware, and they must need special customized equipment to carry their systems. The software is very complicated, and it takes a lot of work to write suitable programs. Application software, which hinders Symbian and social networking sites running.Although imageworld and Twitter are willing to cooperate with Symbian mobile phones, they really have no way to integrate into them-Symbian mobile phones do not share the core code with manufacturers, resulting in many software that can only be ignored.

Of course, Saipan’s closed eyes and listening are also related to their past glory. Last year alone, Symbian mobile phones sold 8000 million mobile phones in Europe, America and other countries, occupying a large number of mobile phone markets. It didn't have any impact on Symbian. They all agreed that they are the leader in the mobile phone system, and they don't have to worry about the pressure that competitors will put on them. They want to make the best mobile phone that can connect to the Internet.

This is a very great idea at present, but the idea of ​​​​Android is completely opposite.

We are going to make a mobile computer that can talk!

One is a mobile phone, the other is a computer, two completely different ideas have created two completely derivative directions.The Symbian system became a keyboard system, and Android began to evolve in the direction of touch-screen phones.

And at the moment, Motorola, LG and Samsung Electronics are looking for the latest cooperation targets.

Andy Robin and I believe that Android exists to replace the Symbian system, so these three companies have also become our cooperation targets.Andy Rubin and Yitzhak are technical talents, so it was my job to find the leaders of these three companies and convince them to enter the Android market.

However, Android, which has just entered the practice stage and had a failure experience a few years ago, has not been trusted by Samsung and Motorola. In the end, only the current head of LG, Isidore.Donahue would like to have a talk with me.

Donahue is actually a character too.

When he first made his fortune, he had nothing to do with electronic products. Donahue started out as a real estate loan. He worked as a sales manager at Freddie Mac and successfully won the sales champion of their department for several years. At that time, the CEO of LG urgently needed A sales talent who can promote his own brand in the complex and ever-changing mobile phone market, so he was dug into LG through a headhunting company. Since then, Donahue has become a leader with his bold vision and understanding of customer groups.

Donahue can only say that he understands LG's business, but is not proficient in it. It is impossible for him to do programming and design, but his sales strategy does pass a difficult time for LG.

I met Donohue in Silicon Valley.

"Mr. Field must be very aware of LG's current situation, so I won't talk about celebrities. LG has just withdrawn from the cooperation with Symbian. Although the latest Symbian system LGKT610 and KT615 are still in production, we need Find the right smart system for the launch of new models next year."

"I'm here, Mr. Donahue, I think our company's Android system meets your requirements."

"Mr. Field, LG only requires the best technology and the latest technological research results. I have also understood part of your company's Android system. Although the condition of a free system is very attractive, if the market response is not good, I am sorry. Our cost is still a waste."

"That depends on whether Mr. Donoghue has the confidence to try a touch-screen mobile phone with us." I smiled, "You know, a Symbian mobile phone is a complete keypad mobile phone, and it has high hardware requirements, making Its cost is also rising steadily, while Android does not have this concern, and it has a very obvious advantage, the system is not complicated, and the software application is updated at any time, so I would like to cooperate with your company to launch a new touchscreen phones."

There is such a joke that one day the CEO of Symbian found that when his mobile phone received new information, the pop-up dialog box would cover the lock screen symbol when the screen was locked. He called in technicians and asked to reduce the dialog box. 5mm so that customers can unlock it conveniently.But after a long inspection, the technician told him that he couldn't find the code that designed the dialog box.

Ask how many codes there are in the Symbian mobile phone kernel, and the answer is: 2000 million.

This is a very scary concept.The most comprehensive Chinese dictionary has only about 200 characters, and the number of codes in Symbian mobile phones is [-] times that. If they are all printed and stacked together, it is estimated that they will be at least as high as three floors.

In fact, the Symbian mobile phone was not such an exaggerated number at the beginning. It was known for being streamlined in the 90s, but after continuous development and system updates, Saipan seemed to be a piece of clothing with holes. After being stitched and patched, it finally turned into a giant that could carry the dead.

"Touch screen phone? Does it mean that you don't need any buttons at all, and you can operate directly on the screen?" Donohue became interested. "This is a novel idea, but can the Android system really do this?"

"Mr. Donahue, we will show you some of our research results so that you can refer to whether Android has the value of cooperation, but we still have a lot of work to do in this regard before it can be fully commercialized. It must be said that LG's hardware is needed. Full support, our cooperation is based on helping each other, assuming LG is willing, then I can guarantee that the Symbian system will give up half of the mobile phone market to Android."

"You are confident."

"Of course, Android has two advantages now, free and software are unmatched by Symbian, our definition is to make a miniature condensed computer." I replied, "People will like this kind of mobile phone, this is a new Times cannot be judged by past viewpoints.”

Donoghue seemed to be moved by my words, he closed his eyes, seemed to be weighing the pros and cons of cooperating with me, and finally nodded. "I will send technicians to your company to inspect Android."

"Yes." I also smiled, "I hope there will be a day of cooperation."

"Of course, this is also my long-cherished wish, Mr. Field..."

After negotiating with Donahue, my work is over, and the subsequent questions will be handed over to Andy Lubin. He is very good at persuading technical personnel. You must know that many technical personnel of the earliest Android company were recruited into the company by him.I believe that the existence of him and Isaac can conquer LG's technical staff very well.

And at this moment, I also have a thought in my mind, maybe I should find a time to take a vacation for myself to comfort the recent tight nerves, for example, take Brandon to Hawaii or play a game or two on the beach on the south coast of France Months are pretty good, I thought.

No, Hawaii is a bit close. It's better to go to a place where no one will bother you, such as a small island in Europe. You can also ask Carter about his recent situation. His boyfriend Dante has successfully matched and is very happy. The operation is about to be performed, and I heard that his body is recovering now. Carter has been very patient with his lover, but I still have a problem that I haven't dealt with.

That was the former Blackwater employees who suddenly attacked us at that time, Keton, Fox, Bull and Bird. In that attack, Jackson finally confirmed that these four people were involved. Although they did not want my life , but trying to scare me out of my wits in order to get back at my suggestion to fire them from the company at the end.

Unexpectedly, I was a little more courageous than they expected.

In order to express his sincerity to me, Prince used his own intelligence network to give me the whereabouts of several people. After attacking me, the four people quickly sold their weapons and cars through underground transactions, fled the United States and went to France for employment. Army base - French Foreign Legion refuge.But the police passed, and in the end they could only regretfully inform me that it was a gang fire and I was accidentally implicated in it.

This result makes me think there is no reason to attack.

Although Prince and I got back together, he still didn't hide his gloat in this respect, "Mr. Field, when your enemies are not in the United States, what can you do?" He thinks I can only suffer from this dumb loss .

I shrugged, "You're right, so my only solution is to pay."

In this world, not only force can solve everything, but also money. Money is a good thing. As long as there is a way, even if they are sent to a place where they are close to death, it is possible to never come back in the end.If it doesn't work, you can also buy other mercenaries, just give them a bullet at a critical moment.

It's a bit cruel to do so, but it's not that I am violent, but that I can't keep people who threaten my safety.If they didn’t massacre the poor in Iraq, then I would treat this attack as a prank (of course, if they were really clean, I wouldn’t be expelled from the company or even sued in court, so this assumption does not hold) , so they deserved what they got, tit for tat.

To be honest, the luck of the Keton four is not particularly good. They only heard that the French Foreign Legion is the best mercenary regiment besides Blackwater, but they don’t know that Europe is my base camp, and it is even more like my hometown than the United States. , even though I have not been active there for a long time, but my family has taken root in it for more than 50 years.They will not remain silent in the face of my being attacked.

It didn't even require me to do it myself.

After two days of rest, I decided to push work aside and go to cool Europe for a belated honeymoon with Brandon - we haven't had a full vacation since we got engaged and every day is work, Go home, eat, sleep.If this continues, I doubt that the two of us will be able to live the life of an old married couple before we reach our thirties.

After discussing with the other party, we finally arranged the itinerary in Florence, Italy, where the culture and environment are beautiful and pleasant. It is a good place for vacation and leisure, and it is quite close to France. When the summer comes, we can also enjoy the south of France. Coastal landscape of the city Nice.By the way, take a look at the most famous alder body beach there.

It must be stated carefully: no!have!appoint!what!people!Can bother us to soak up the summer sun at Alnus Beach!

You can apply sunscreen to each other, then play in the sand, sunbathe, and finally fight for [-] rounds together in the hotel bed!Before going to the destination, my mind has already started to think about it.

But Brandon didn't notice my sinister intentions. He was just very happy to be able to travel and made a series of plans for this, including booking the best hotels and visiting the best attractions.I know he's looking forward to it, just like me, it's the first time I think traveling is such a fun thing.

But one night before my departure, my personal phone rang again.

I was packing my bags when I heard Brandon calling me. "William, that's your call!" I pretended I didn't hear.

Brandon walked up to me and looked at me reproachfully with his grey-blue eyes. I sighed and had to go back and retrieve my phone from the corner of the sofa—I wanted to entrust it to my assistant for a long time. I was able to go on an intimate date with Brandon and not think about anything, not care about anything, just be alone with each other.

But this time the caller was unusual. It was actually Egbert who hadn't contacted me for a long time.Bennett.

This old man.I cursed inwardly.

Every time he comes, nothing happens.
