Xiao Qi arranged the office location of Zhulianbihe website in the commercial office building area of Xia Pingyuan.
In this area, whether it is Xiaoniao.com, Weibo WeChat Company, Fairy Real Estate Chengdu Branch, Xiaoyao Logistics, Xiaoyao Express and Xiaoyao Mall, they are all here, which belongs to the concentrated area of the Fairy Company series and related companies.
There were so many office buildings reserved, and Peng Anqi chose one that was very close to Xiaoyao Mall.
It is also a 16-story building, but Zhulianbihe only has three or two kittens now, while Xiaoyao Mall is already a bit crowded and is planning to divide some departments into a nearby building.
However, the first tranche of 100 million funds, as well as the technical staff of the Fairy Company website and the Xiaoyao Mall website, have already come to listen to the requirements to design a simple website with beautiful pages for the perfect match, so Peng Anqi is full of energy and is quite an entrepreneurial young man.
posture.
Xiao Qi did not tell Huo Zhuzhu immediately that this Zhulianbihe website was prepared for her, and planned to tell her about this surprise later.
Now, there is actually another issue that has attracted attention within Fairy Company.
That is the smartphone G2 produced and released by htc through cooperation with Microsoft.
Since its launch in May, g2 has shipped more than 8 million units for three consecutive months.
Because of its dazzling appearance, Microsoft's technical support, smooth system debugging, moderate price, and numerous games on the Microsoft Mall, g2 has successfully attracted many young people, resulting in a double harvest of reputation and sales.
Speaking of which, the popularity of g2 is definitely due to the Android Alliance.
It is precisely because the Android Alliance poached many R&D companies and engineers from the App Store at high prices to let them develop games in the Android Mall. The regulations are not as strict as the App Store, which allows Microsoft to take them as long as they pay the fee based on the number of downloads.
Use it directly.
Also because the future free system will have a larger user base, developers and development companies put forward opinions to the app store, so later the app store also changed the rules. Developers are allowed to cooperate with other operating systems to develop appropriate
For the same game on these platforms, the app store's share will gradually change from 73% to 64% to 50% to 50%.
At present, such a share is definitely a loss. If you lose 20% of the profit, you can go to the Android mall and not even get one-tenth of the loss.
However, in the past two years, many development teams and engineers have signed non-exclusive sharing agreements. The reason is that the Android Alliance has given them enough subsidies, which can add up to 10% more revenue than in the app store.
Microsoft also learned this trick and simply cooperated with the Android Alliance. They also shouldered a fee. Then these development teams and engineers, as long as they can make money and are popular, will all join the two major app stores at the same time.
camp.
Microsoft and the Android Alliance have obtained the app software, and the development team and engineers have expanded their influence and gained more income. Mobile phone users of the free system can enjoy the same treatment as mobile phone users of Fairy, Apple, and Samsung, and the app store can also
Getting more share of income... From this point of view, everyone is really happy.
At least Microsoft has tasted the benefits now. The number of apps in the Microsoft Mall exceeds 1 million, giving g2 users a very good smart experience. Naturally, more people are willing to buy it-Microsoft has dominated the world for so many years, but it has cultivated too many
of fans.
Of course, g2 is not without its shortcomings, such as htc's consistent battery problems, htc's screen pixel density problems, and its cool appearance... etc. It is worse than iPhone and dreamstars. At best, it is the same as Samsung galaxy 2
High grade, but the price is cheaper than Samsung's.
All in all, g2 is a truly mid-range mobile phone, and it has the Microsoft brand. With a monthly sales volume of 8 million, it is reasonable.
Its price-performance ratio and the price of Dreamsnosnow are not much cheaper abroad, so the two compete with each other, but they firmly occupy most of the sales of mid-range smartphones.
The Samsung c1, which is cheaper than the two, is priced at US$299 for the entry-level version and US$330 for the high-end version. However, the quality of the mobile phone is really average, so the sales volume can only be regarded as an ordinary two to three million per month.
What's even sadder are the two giants of the Android Alliance - Nokia and Motorola.
Their prices were set very high before. Motorola's a1600 was priced at 399 US dollars, and Nokia's n80 was priced at 488 US dollars. It didn't seem high at the time, but compared with Samsung m2, g2 and dreamsnow, they made it coyly.
Smartphones immediately fell to the bottom.
From the initial sales of more than 15 million units to more than 20 million units a month, both have rapidly declined. Now the a1600 only sells more than 3 million units a month, and the n80 only sells more than 2 million units. It can be said that it is much lower than that of Nokia.
and Motorola's expectations.
Even the combined monthly sales of the two mobile phones are a little more than the more than 4 million units of Sony Ericsson's sp100, which was later added.
I don’t know if they saw that this little bastard like g2 has come from behind. Do they regret that they are still obsessed with the sales and profits of feature phones, but they have missed the opportunity of the entire smartphone era?
Not to mention Motorola and Nokia, Fairy Company's internal R&D center started research on HTC's G2 as early as May.
In fact, smartphones are simple to say the least. Except for the CPU, GPU, and operating system, the rest can also be pieced together.
Even what kind of chip is used, its power consumption, efficiency, etc. can also be tested.
This is how the "running scores" that will appear in the future come about.
Although there are no professional benchmarks now, the research done by Fairy Lab is still very good.
They pointed out more than 60 technologically advanced aspects of htc's design functions, as well as more than 130 advanced aspects of Microsoft's operating system. Compared with g1, g2 obviously put a lot of effort into debugging, which is smooth.
If it weren't for the drag on electronics and CPU chips, the performance would be a level beyond Dreamsnow.
For this reason, Xiao Qi also went to listen to several of their seminars. Finally, the group of guys tightened their tails and began to devote their energy to the research and development project seriously, instead of being complacent as before.
Relax slightly.
The same goes for the guys from Mingxiang Holdings North America Laboratory.
After all, besides Apple, there are other companies that can catch up, and their superiority mentality is quite touching.
This saves Xiao Qi the effort of beating them.
Naturally, the young man would not tell them that htc is not actually the most important competitor.
After the easy success of HTC in the previous life, it would start to expand extremely. As a result, it had many failures in design and function. As a result, it continued to weaken and retreat. It was left behind by Apple and Samsung, and finally was directly replaced by China's domestic mobile phones.
Kill them all.
If there are no accidents, htc will probably be the same in this life, because Baodao people are still not visionary enough when it comes to smart electronics, they are stubborn in doing things, and they cannot listen to suggestions, so it is normal for them to collapse in the end.
The only variable is Microsoft.
As a super giant in the computer software industry, Microsoft has enough vision and courage, otherwise it would not have invested huge sums of money to cooperate with HTC.
Once they find out that htc is going astray, they are likely to directly intervene and change htc's approach.
If that's the case, I'm afraid htc will grow one step further, and at least it will become an important part of the second echelon.
The first echelon is of course Fairy, Apple and Samsung.
Only these two companies are the biggest rivals for Fairy Company's dominance.
Apple has a lot of craftsmanship, and they will not launch the product on the market until they are absolutely satisfied with it.
But once Apple's products come out, it's time for other companies to be careful, because Apple's smart products are likely to quickly sweep the market!
Samsung is even more powerful!
Koreans are not as rigid as Apple in doing things. They have developed many smart electronic product projects. Even if they don’t, once you make a new product, they can launch a similar product for you in three to five months.
.
However, before Xiao Qi could finish his thoughts, news suddenly came over there. Motorola and Nokia officially held press conferences and released two new mobile phones in one fell swoop.
As soon as this news came out, fans of Nokia and Motorola were ecstatic.
They have been old users for many years. The failure of a smartphone cannot affect their perception of the two giants. Many people are also looking forward to them coming up with better products, Haohe Fairy Company, Apple
, Samsung and other emerging giants are competing against each other.
On the same day, LG in South Korea announced a piece of news that even shocked the industry.
They will officially enter the smartphone industry, but they will not choose the Android alliance as mentioned before, but the Microsoft camp!
No one could have imagined that Microsoft could be so secretive and achieve such impressive results. With LG, an electronics giant that is even better than HTC, joining the team, the momentum of the Microsoft camp is not small!
Such several messages came out on the same day, which gives people a feeling.
The era of melee among three-thirds of the world has arrived! (To be continued.)
