When Xiao Qi learned the news, the press conference was still in progress.
For this reason, he had to urgently contact Gang Leader Qiao and ask what was going on.
Booker, the CEO of the App Store, confirmed that these companies had acknowledged the fact that they were about to leave the App Store, and was reprimanded by Xiao Qi and Qiao for this.
For such a big thing, no one heard anything about it beforehand. As the person in charge of the app store, Booker naturally has an unshirkable responsibility.
But Booker is also very aggrieved. There are so many games and programs reviewed every day in the App Store, and there are also cloud computing and cloud storage issues, as well as the ever-expanding recruitment and management of website service technical teams, and all kinds of things.
He was overwhelmed by all the affairs. He never expected that these game and software app companies, which were originally the most stable, would do this!
You know, in the list released by the Android Alliance, it is true that the apps developed by 39 companies are all in the top 100 best-selling list. They are not not making money, but are making a lot of money!
The sales of DreamPad, S1 and iPhone have now steadily exceeded 130 million units, and basically every user has purchased various apps to some extent.
The most famous among them, "Plants vs. Zombies", has been on the App Store since December last year. It has been nearly 12 months now. Its total sales have exceeded 180 million US dollars, and new users are purchasing it every month.
, can be said to be the most profitable tool for attracting money. No one would have thought that they could give up such a good prospect.
Xiao Qi didn't expect it, and Gang Leader Qiao didn't expect it either. It can only be said that the conditions given by the Android Alliance are too high. These companies can't refuse.
However, if Xiao Qi thinks about it seriously, the departure of these game software companies is nothing.
Talents emerge from generation to generation, and new generations replace old ones.
Although these games are in full swing now, who can guarantee that they will remain so popular in 3, 5 or even 10 years?
There will always be new companies that create games and software that meet the appetites of people of that era and win.
Therefore, as long as you control the entire app store, have a lot of developer resources, and continue to innovate, then the app store will not have much trouble.
When Xiao Qi was asked to answer the phone call from Zhizhi's wife, he was still absent-minded. Naturally, it was another matter.
Is that why Android phones are launched so quickly?
And it was actually Motorola and Nokia that launched it as the first application targets?
In the previous life, HTC was the first to launch an Android phone. In this life, it doesn't matter if it is replaced by another company. After all, the time has been advanced a lot.
But the problem is, Motorola is better, but Nokia is simply an unrepentant company!
I wonder if the Nordic people are a little stiff-minded because they are too close to the Arctic Circle.
In the previous life, it was only a year or two after Nokia was so desperate that it almost went bankrupt, and then was acquired by Microsoft. They were not ready to launch the Android mobile phone for the first time in 2014. How stubborn is this, how arrogant is it, how arrogant is it?
It’s unimaginable!
Just because they did not keep up with the times and thought that their previous resources would last a lifetime, Nokia, the company that invented the touch phone, was completely ruined by Symbian. However, it still persisted without regrets and ended up becoming the world's number one mobile phone giant.
The fate of being acquired by someone at an extremely low price.
During this period, they saw how popular the Android system was, but Nokia believed that since Apple's ios could succeed, how could its big brother's Symbian system not succeed?
Therefore, no matter who from the Android Alliance tries to persuade them, it will be useless to Nokia and others.
Unexpected!
In this generation, the smartphone camp war has not yet started, but Nokia is actually going to launch an Android phone!
Is this still the history that I know?
Xiao Qi was thinking about it and making calculations in his heart.
If Motorola and Nokia really become the pioneers of the Android system, then it will definitely not be good news for the three alliances of Fairy, Apple and Samsung.
The pioneers of the Android system in the previous life were HTC and Samsung, two emerging smart electronics manufacturers. Their status in the smartphone industry at that time was far inferior to Apple, and even combined they were not as good as Apple!
Therefore, the Android system in the previous life took a detour to a large extent, and its official development was delayed for several years.
There are many reasons for taking such a detour, including manufacturers' reasons, Google's own reasons, and market acceptance reasons... Anyway, if Gang Leader Qiao's unexpected death had not allowed him to continue to be at the helm of Apple, Android would have
The system will definitely be suppressed by the ios system. Where will there be a grand occasion of a hundred flowers blooming in the future?
Then again.
Today's Motorola and Nokia are not the declining giants that were about to collapse after 2012. They are still the two undisputed giants! If they are the vanguard, then compared with the combination of HTC and Samsung,
It's not a weight class at all.
Similarly, once this weight level comes up, the pressure Xiao Qi will face will be much greater than the pressure Apple faced from Samsung and HTC in the previous life!
According to this year's sales data, Nokia and Motorola combined have sold more than 700 million feature phones, more than 15 times that of Apple.
If their sales volume of next year's smartphones is only one-third or even one-fourth of that of feature phones, that will still be a remarkable number!
What's more, based on the loyal fans accumulated by the two companies over the years, Xiao Qi estimates that Motorola and Nokia can sell at least 200 million smartphones a year. If their hearts are not so dark, they can set the price more reasonably.
, 300 million units is not impossible.
In this case, there will definitely be pressure on Dreamstars. After all, the market has just been developed and the customer base is always limited. Some of them have been taken away by Motorola and Nokia. Naturally, the sales volume of Dreamstars will be less.
It would be great if the Android Alliance takes action this time next year!
At that time, Fairy Company's Dreamstars had long been entrenched, and they were not afraid of any challenges from them at all, and Samsung should be able to keep up. With Samsung's entire hardware industry chain and crazy advertising, the trend of the three giants encircling each other, Google and Nokia
, no matter how powerful Motorola is, it is powerless.
But if you think about it carefully, people have already started secret contacts and planning. Otherwise, how would it be possible to release a mobile phone with Android system in February next year?
Judging from the time point, I am afraid that after the launch of Dreampad, Google began to contact them. It was not until the release of Qiao Gangzhu's iPhone in April, which caused a storm, that Nokia and Motorola finally made up their minds and began to reach an agreement with Google.
Agreement to develop mobile phones with Android system.
According to the R&D capabilities of the three major companies, they are among the best in the world. Therefore, it is not too difficult to develop the functions of the Android system, as well as configure and optimize them on their respective mobile phone systems.
If they weren't so striving for perfection, it wouldn't take too long. A few months would be enough for them to launch the first model. If they give it another half a year, they might be able to explode directly like they did in the feature phone market.
Several or even more than a dozen models of smartphones are coming, ranging from high, medium and low grades to seize the market.
It's ridiculous that I thought that these three companies were as lax and indifferent as in the previous life, but I didn't want to think that under the influence of Dreampad, iPhone was not like the previous life, which had to rely on contracts to slowly open up the market, but it became popular all at once.
Gotta make people jealous!
Empiricism is really harmful!
Originally, I have already seen the development of this kind of thing, so I should think more about it instead of relying entirely on the memory of my previous life.
Shopping malls are like battlefields.
Because information changes rapidly in shopping malls and battlefields, new accidents happen all the time, and enemies may appear. You must not take your enemies lightly, because this is irresponsible to yourself.
After such a blow, Xiao Qi re-positioned himself, and also re-positioned Nokia and Motorola.
Although Fairy Company is strong now, it is far from the status that Xiao Qi wants it to achieve. Before the high-end mobile phone Dreamstars and the low-end mobile phone Dreamsnow detonated the market, the foundation of Fairy Company was actually not very solid.
It’s not that it’s really not strong, in fact every step of Xiao Qi’s development is going in the right direction.
The key is that in the world's electronics industry, China itself has little say. With Europe and the United States dominating the entire industry, Xiao Qi is not as strong as Apple in his previous life, and there is no way to break the monopoly of these international giants -
—To put it bluntly, the internationally accepted laws are made by them. Facing these people who make the rules, what chance do you have of winning now?
Only in smart electronics, where Xiao Qi has opened up barriers, has developed a lot, has been occupying a leading position, broken the status of old mobile phones, and guided the development of the entire industry. At that time, Xiao Qi can truly
Do things according to your own wishes.
Now...
This lesson is not too late at all, but a good reminder.
In the next period of time, in addition to accelerating the development of technology and the overall layout, Xiao Qi will also need to immerse himself in work and pay more attention to the enemy's development status.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger! (To be continued...)
