Chapter 40 Seeking Qiandu’s cooperation
Xu Cong finally waited for this day.
Cook's departure to Sharp Company in the island country is obviously a very important signal for Xu Cong.
This means that Cook has begun to prepare to complete what Jobs failed to complete.
Guozi began to focus its entire attention on product supply chain companies, which means that the Guozi mobile phone project has officially entered the "procurement" stage.
From procurement to assembly and finally to product release, this period of time can be long or short.
There is not much time left for Xu Cong.
Now Feiteng Microelectronics' overall screen mass production rate has reached more than 90%, and the quality and display effect of the capacitive screens produced are enough to meet Xu Cong's requirements.
As for the processor chip, the current processor chip has entered the final stage of design. The next step is to contact the corresponding foundry to produce the new chip.
The screen problem has been basically solved, and the processor chip problem can also be considered solved.
As for other components, you can buy them from other supply chain manufacturers, but the cost at this stage may be a bit high.
The most critical thing about the entire product is the software system.
The Taixu system, a system with high hopes, has been being improved by Chen Qi’s team from Wanxiang Technology.
After spending almost a year, the Taixu system was finally officially produced.
Although the system has been produced, the system itself still has some shortcomings.
For example, the current system does not have a corresponding developer kit.
Suites such as search software, map positioning software, trading software, etc. that assist developers in developing new applications have not yet been produced.
The most well-known search software engine in the world is Google. The search engine developed by its company is currently the most complete and best-known search engine on the market.
Chen Qi also suggested that Xu Cong consider sending someone to Google to obtain authorization from a specialized search engine to add it to the "Taixu System".
However, this proposal was directly rejected by Xu Cong.
In Xu Cong's view, Taixu System, as a domestic self-developed mobile operating system, must basically use domestic development software suites from the core to the peripheral accessories of the product.
After all, handing over the core development software suite to foreign companies is equivalent to handing over some future functions of the system to foreign technology companies.
This is not particularly beneficial to the prospects of system development.
"Go and cooperate with Qiandu Company!"
After deep thinking, Xu Cong finally had his own ideas and decisions.
Considering the current main business of the company, it is still somewhat difficult to develop these engines.
Especially the corresponding search engines and map engines, which require a lot of time, energy, manpower and material resources.
In this short period of time, it is impossible for the Wanxiang Technology team to produce a corresponding software package for the Taixu system.
The time is urgent now. In this case, all you need to do is to first find a company to cooperate with that can replace the developer's kit.
Wait until the company can develop its own search engine and map positioning engine before replacing them, so that the Taixu system can be completely controlled.
Among so many companies, Xu Cong chose Qiandu Company.
Qiandu Company is currently the best company in the search engine industry in China, and its search engine level can be said to have reached the highest domestic standards.
Although it is temporarily inferior to Google's search engine in terms of comprehensiveness, the corresponding Qiandu search engine is completely sufficient for a mobile phone system.
As for map software applications, Qiandu is now among the best in domestic map software. Choosing Qiandu as a partner is indeed a good choice.
At the same time, the number of early smartphone applications was not widespread, and there were not many software that required specialized development kits for development.
You must know that after the fruit company proposed the concept of smartphones, the corresponding new mobile phone software application development company was initially presented.
The climax of mobile application development is still two years after the release of smartphones.
The basic basic functions of early smartphones have actually completely overwhelmed feature phones, and with the arrival of the mobile Internet, smartphones have truly become the most dazzling existence on the stage of the times.
Only then did more software development companies realize that the development of smartphone applications is the new trend in the future, and only then did more software companies truly invest in the development of current smartphone software applications.
When the Guozi mobile phone was first released, it indeed led to the craze of the times, and at the same time, it officially made smartphones truly enter the stage.
Guozi Mobile brought smartphones, and even though this phone attracted the attention of the entire technology industry, most traditional mobile phone manufacturers still released feature phone products in an orderly manner.
It was not until the 2G network was transferred to the 3G network that the increase in network speed of the 3G network made the mobile Internet a new trend in the network field. With the support of the 3G network, smartphones were able to realize more possibilities. This allowed smartphones to truly begin to gradually become
The only one of the era.
Traditional feature phone manufacturers have also begun to gradually shift to the smartphone market.
At this time, systems such as Android, Microsoft, BlackBerry, and Symbian that conform to the operating logic of smartphones also began to officially appear in the public eye.
The Xu Chongming and Bai Taixu systems do not require a corresponding developer application ecosystem in the short term.
To make a product perfect is Xu Cong’s pursuit as a science student.
Qiandu Company, as an early Internet company in China, can be said to be doing well in the industry.
Relying on the corresponding search engine, Qiandu Company has obtained a lot of financial income.
In fact, running a search engine is a business in itself.
When searching for relevant "keywords", there is a corresponding bidding ranking for the search page.
Generally, the entry that ranks at the top is either the most searched entry, or the information that provides the most money.
Many private companies spend a lot of money on bidding entries in order to promote their companies.
Therefore, if these purchase entries are cheap, they only cost a few thousand, and if they are expensive, they only cost tens of thousands.
However, due to the large number of private companies that cooperate with each other, the current profits earned by Qiandu Company are very considerable.
There are even rumors claiming that light companies can reach terrifying billions of dollars in annual net profits by relying on search engines.
It can be said that Qiandu Company is basically living very well by relying on its main business.
At the same time, after getting rich, Qiandu Company also continued to expand its business.
Online games, maps, and even intelligent AI!
It can be said that the development of Qiandu Company actually draws lessons from Google on the other side of the ocean.
Both basically started as search engines, and after the success of search engines, they also began to invest in other industries.
At the same time, both companies have also built systems respectively.
It's just that Google's Android system launched an early and popular instructor, and it eventually became successful.
Qiandu also launched a corresponding system, but it was almost six years later than Google launched the Android system.
At this time, the mobile phone market was basically divided between Android and IOS, and in the end Qiandu had no choice but to give up this business.
At the same time, the two companies have also invested in a number of businesses such as intelligent AI self-driving cars, although these businesses are relatively expensive.
However, relying on the large revenue from search engines, even though Qiandu Company's reputation in the Internet industry is not as good as it was in Xu Cong's time and space, Qiandu Company can still live a very nourishing and comfortable life.
As the PC era shifts to the mobile Internet era, and with Penguin and Alibaba competing for hegemony, Qiandu still has its own place.
Even Qiandu almost reached the level of being able to compete with Penguin and Alibaba.
"What does Wanxiang Technology want to do?"
After Li Yanhong received this request for cooperation, a strange look appeared in her eyes.
Qiandu Company has very close cooperation with most domestic Internet companies.
Wanxiang Technology and 460 Network Security Company have also cooperated with Qiandu.
Among them, Wanxiang Technology mainly does bidding rankings for its own online games, while 460 Network Security Company specifically chooses to cooperate with Qiandu for its own browser search function.
Of course, Wanxiang Technology and 460 Network Security Company are also actively developing self-developed search engines internally.
It is even possible that a search engine can be built within a year or two.
Of course, search engines are just a way of cooperation. What Wanxiang Technology needs is the authorization of Qiandu’s map positioning core engine.
For this kind of in-depth cooperation, Li Yanhong did not directly give an accurate answer, but invited Xu Cong to come to Didu Qiandu Company for an interview.
After all, only cooperation that knows the basics can make Li Yanhong feel at ease now.
Xu Cong was not too surprised by Li Yanhong's invitation.
After all, this cooperation is not a simple ordinary cooperation, but requires Qiandu to provide corresponding algorithms and commission codes.
This kind of cooperation can basically be called a deep or even strategic cooperation.
This kind of cooperation still requires face-to-face discussions between the managers of both parties to finally reach cooperation.
"Book me a ticket for nine o'clock tomorrow morning!"
After receiving the news, Xu Cong immediately arranged for his assistant to prepare for the next trip.
As long as this cooperation is successful, the Taixu system will basically be ready.
Chapter completed!
