Chapter 845: Nokia joins forces with Intel

When Zhiduoxing held a meeting with domestic mobile phone counterparts, Nokia and Intel jointly announced that they would launch a new smart operating system for portable mobile electronic devices, Meego.

Everyone obviously knows that this system is aimed at Zhiduoxing, and it is also an open source operating system based on the LINUX kernel, which can be used in various electronic products such as mobile phones and tablet computers.

And Nokia and Intel also called on more hardware manufacturers and software manufacturers to join in and jointly develop this system.

After hearing the news, Duan Yongping came to Zhang Yang's office, which would have a major impact on the development of Zhi Duoxing.

"Chairman, they want to open source, should we respond?"

Everyone has discussed before whether the Zhiduoxing system is open source or semi-open source. Then they chose semi-open source, which also satisfied many manufacturers who joined the alliance.

However, from the current point of view, Zhiduoxing can make a lot of profits through authorization. The so-called semi-open source refers to the modification of the source code, which must be open source. However, using source code to make hardware drivers, application software programs, etc., does not need to be open source.

This is how it attracts more hardware manufacturers and software manufacturers to join in. The so-called full open source model is simply impossible to survive.

"Of course we have to respond and let all our allies know how much it will cost to rejoin another alliance. If you leave and want to join us again, you won't have the current preferential conditions."

"And let them understand that the systems developed by Intel and Nokia have not yet been completed, and their software development technology is not good at all."

"A group of programmers who were unemployed in the first two years were recruited, plus some young newcomers, thinking that a useful system can be developed? Whether a system can be successful requires not only easy use, but also more Vendor support, more consumer support."

"Microsoft is working on two systems at the same time, PC and mobile operating systems. On the PC operating system, I admit that Microsoft is so powerful that no one can challenge it, and Apple is just lingering. If it weren't for the anti-monopoly agreement, the Apple system would have been eliminated long ago. gone."

"But how is Microsoft developing in terms of mobile phone operating systems? How are their three main partners, Motorola, Suoai and HTC, developing now? HTC, which supports us at the same time, is the fastest growing and the best developing. And Samsung launched a mobile phone with Microsoft system this year, and launched two mobile phones with Zhiduoxing core."

"The combination of two large companies that are not good at making software, plus some eliminated programmers, can develop a useful system? Do you believe it?"

In the previous life, this system was also a failure, and it was quickly defeated. Who is the main player in the cooperation between the two industry giants? Looking at the cooperation between Souni and Ericsson, we know that the cooperation between giants is prone to problems.

"I know what to do when the chairman says that. I think they will launch a smartphone or a tablet with this system soon to attract other manufacturers to join."

"At this time, we only need to ensure that the product is more usable and more liked by consumers. When they launch new products, we will increase our advertising efforts to defeat them!"

"However, this year Motorola did not decline as fast as we thought. It is estimated that their mobile phone sales this year will exceed 60 million units, and they will still become the fifth in the industry."

"And judging from the current sales situation, Suoai will definitely not be able to exceed 45 million units, and may be surpassed by Lianxiang.

"

"Motorola mainly grabbed a lot of BlackBerry's market. Originally, we thought that this year's BlackBerry sales would increase compared to last year. Unexpectedly, they lost the exclusive support of the US government, and their sales will definitely not reach 30 million units this year. Next year it will be cut in half!"

"Then BlackBerry will fall into a huge loss, and I think they will go downhill soon. Motorola should also be the last struggle. Next year, we are confident that we will join hands with other manufacturers to trample it to death."

"However, Nokia's 5230 is selling well, and it has the potential to become the king of mobile phones. With Nokia's consistent approach, maybe they will launch something later, and there won't be too many changes."

"Our biggest advantage is the appearance design. There are different colors for consumers to choose from, and we launched it to the market first, so the sales volume is better."

Nokia's color scheme has always been relatively simple, silver, black and red are the mainstream, while Zhiduoxing also has blue, gold, white, etc., which are more popular.

And because Nokia is using the reseller and distributor model, the retail price is difficult to control. Many retailers have increased the price because they think it is a good deal and the supply is not high.

Zhiduoxing is an agency model, which reserves enough profit space for each retailer, and anyone who sells at a higher price will be punished.

Moreover, the supply of goods is sufficient, and there will be no out-of-stock situation, so the sales will naturally be better.

Of course, this model is also a serious burden on funds. Fortunately, Zhiduoxing has sufficient funds, but Yangcheng Zhiduoxing has insufficient funds and can borrow money. Haihong also agreed to produce first and then pay, which solved this problem.

"What about the Apple mobile phone, how is it developing?" Zhang Yang thought for a while, whether the giant in his previous life could suppress it or not.

"They launched a 3GS model phone, which is an upgraded version of 3G, which claims to be faster. However, the sales are average, and they must still lose money. It is said that the lawsuit with AT\u0026amp;T has been postponed, but I think they will continue to call soon. Lawsuit because we signed an agency agreement with AT\u0026amp;T for three years."

Take away Apple's distributors, cut off their backs, and see how the other party is still jumping.

In this way, Zhiduoxing will also lose some benefits. After all, the original agent in North America is North American Zhiduxing. But the chairman demanded that the Apple mobile phone must be crushed, and they could only use this most ruthless method.

It seems that it hurts the enemy one thousand and loses eight hundred, but Zhi Duoxing can afford to lose, but Apple can't afford to lose.

It is reported that Apple intends to give up the hardware business of mobile phones and specialize in smartphone software to make up for losses and reverse the situation. Apple has indeed not announced the research and development plan for the next generation of mobile phones.

"Good job. For companies with potential, they must be eliminated at the embryonic stage. Find a way to sign a mobile phone software development agreement with Apple, completely turning them into a mobile phone software manufacturer, and enriching our software camp. It is aimed at other mobile phone system manufacturers."

"There will definitely be many PC manufacturers selling tablet computers next year, and our new models are ready, don't ruin our good start."

"How is Z6 production going, when will it be available?"

"The new product launch conference will be held the day after tomorrow, and intensive publicity will begin, and it will be officially launched in half a month!"
