1991 Starting from the core

Capital of the United Kingdom of Great Britain.

London.

Psion is a veteran digital equipment and technology developer that has been established for more than ten years. Compared with its long history, Palm Computing, which is located in North America and developed the Palm system, is just a little brother.

In Europe, Psion is also a big player in the field of PDA. It is one of the first professional digital companies to launch PDA and is highly recognized throughout Europe.

Today, a group of special guests came to the conference room of Psion's headquarters in London.

…

David Porter, the founder of Psion, was holding coffee in his left hand and holding a cue stick in his right hand, describing the future of EPOC to the invited guests.

"In the future, EPOC will be divided into three directions. For convenience, we have temporarily named them Pearl, Quartz and Crystal."

"These three subsystems will inherit most of EPOC's core code, but will only provide different interfaces and special optimizations in different products. For example, Pearl can be used on smartphones."

"Quartz and crystal are used in pen input communicators and keyboard input communicators - you can think of them as essentially no different, but just a layout we have made to differentiate and diversify future products."

"Compared with the YOS being released by Yuanxin, our EPOC has many advantages such as compactness, lower power consumption, and better adaptability to the current environment."

As David Porter explained, the rest of the people in the conference room kept looking at the information.

Several of them naturally come from companies that are unwilling to be "controlled" by Yuanxin, or...cannot accept YOS psychologically.

Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola.

"Everyone, what do you think?" David Porter looked at these people with burning eyes.

The others nodded with smiles.

"What about a name for the new company?"

"Symbian?"

…

Shanghai, Hilton Hotel conference room.

Ever since Lee Jae-yong set the precedent for asking questions, questions from other people followed one after another. The entire second half of the promotion meeting became a special session for Su Yuanshan to answer questions.

Faced with this situation, Su Yuanshan was so happy that he was even a little grateful to Li Zairong - Is this guy just a caretaker for him?

As we all know, the most worrying thing about a promotional conference is that no one has any problems.

The more questions and doubts, the higher the interest.

"We firmly believe that even without the YX architecture, the rest of the integrated SOCs will move towards the combination of functional processors and baseband processors, because that is the future and direction of the development of mobile handheld devices."

"In the future, whether it is mobile phones, PDAs, various professional digital playback devices, or even professional equipment - such as the handheld mobile payment system that a friend just mentioned - they will all become intelligent."

"And YOS is the display platform for intelligent devices."

After Su Yuanshan answered the last question, he looked at the audience with a smile.

No one seems to be raising their hands anymore.

"Does anyone have any questions?"

"Last question." Li Zaiyong looked back and raised his hand, as if to forcefully complete the question.

Su Yuanshan motioned for him to continue.

"Mr. Su Yuanshan, is Yuanxin's next goal a 'smartphone' that combines PDA and communication functions?"

Li Zairong put down his hand and looked at Su Yuanshan with a smile.

Su Yuanshan blinked: "Guess!"

There was a burst of cheerful laughter in the venue.

But after a moment, Su Yuanshan said seriously: "Everyone here is a representative of the relevant industry. If there are no consumers, then I will tell you very frankly. In the field of digital products, Yuanxin has always been willing to act as a demonstrator and roadshower of technology." As a developer - we will use all the latest technology on products that seem impossible and have no market - even if it is priced high and is likely to fail."

"The same is true for MP3 player phones, and the same is true for Imusic."

"Because even if it fails, it can still provide some experience to our partners, even if it is a dead end."

"Yuanxin has not used its status in the industry chain, will not do so now, and will not use its status in the industry chain to seize the market with its partners - such as this mobile phone price reduction incident. Frankly speaking, Yuanxin can definitely take advantage of the industry. We will use the advantages of the chain to launch products at full price ranges.”

"But we didn't, and our approach remains firmly to support our partners."

"So, Yuanxin hopes that our partners can open up new fields and new products. But similarly, Yuanxin will not give up the exploration of new products and new fields, and then leave a vast market to its partners - This is the due responsibility of Yuexin as its core components and solutions."

After finishing speaking, Su Yuanshan looked at Li Zairong again.

Li Zairong nodded with a smile, seemingly satisfied with Su Yuanshan's answer, and slowly clapped his hands.

After a while, applause broke out like a flood.

…

…

In order to "appreciate" Li Zaiyong's support, Su Yuanshan invited Li Zaiyong to have dinner alone at noon the next day.

After all, although the two sides did not reach an agreement last time in Ni Country, they at least had a relationship.

Moreover, Li Zaiyong seemed to have something he wanted to talk to alone.

But compared to Li Zaiyong, who can easily find top-notch restaurants in Tokyo, Su Yuanshan is really unfamiliar with the Shanghai market - he has never had any requirements for food and appetite, and he will even think about what to eat once he gets obsessed with it. No taste at all.

So, he treated Lee Jae-yong to a French meal at the Hilton.

"Brother Li, please feel free to do so."

"Well, thank you." Li Zairong tied his napkin and reached out to get the red wine, but Su Yuanshan unexpectedly beat him to it.

"No need to trouble you here, we can do it ourselves." Su Yuanshan held the decanter and smiled at a foreigner girl from an unknown country: "Let's talk about some private matters."

"Okay sir." The waiter bowed slightly and took a few steps back with a smile.

Su Yuanshan poured red wine for Li Zairong, poured another glass for himself, raised his glass with a smile and said, "Welcome Brother Li to Shanghai."

"Thank you for your hospitality."

"Brother Li, are Samsung mobile phones ready to fully enter the mainland market?" Su Yuanshan knew that Samsung has always been engaged in mobile phones, and even has a long history - it launched car-mounted wireless phones as early as the 1980s, and later during the Seoul Olympics. Real Big Brother is launched.

Well, there is a saying that they are all copycat Motorola.

Well... During the Big Brother era, Motorola was a rock that was touched by countless companies.

After entering the 1990s, Samsung, a stubborn person, was also very good. Although it was a copycat, it did not give up its own research. In the second year after Yuanxin launched the solution, that is, in 1995, Samsung also solved the solution and launched A real GSM phone.

It's just that these two years have passed, and Samsung's mobile phones have still shown little improvement, and they are still popular in China. Even if they have some market in Europe and the United States, they are still considered to be the representative of low-end products.

Now that the mainland market is in the ascendant, it is an opportunity for heroes from all walks of life to show their talents. It is impossible for Samsung not to want to enter.

"Yes." Li Zaiyong also said frankly: "Mainland is an excellent market and we cannot give up."

"Welcome." Su Yuanshan said with a smile.

"Brother Yuanshan, what you said is so nice but you don't mean it sincerely."

"Haha, anyway, the domestic market is now more chaotic than during the late Han Dynasty, and your family is no worse. But I would like to remind you that if you want to establish a foothold in the mainland, you must first kill the Noaima family."

"Yes." Li Zaiyong sighed as he spoke.

This time, Samsung also participated in the exhibition, and it was very low-key. Although they have the name of an imported brand, their competitiveness is really not as good as that of Noiamo.

Even if they want to go low-end, they can't seize the market of domestic brands - because with the support of Yuanxin, a giant that provides one-stop solutions, domestic brands will naturally be invincible.

"So? What are your plans?" Su Yuanshan raised his glass to Li Zairong again and asked as if chatting with an old friend.

Li Zaiyong replied like he was chatting with an old friend: "Learn from you."

puff……

Su Yuanshan almost couldn't hold it back.

He swallowed the red wine and laughed: "What do you want to learn from us?"

"Focus on the future." Li Zairong looked at Su Yuanshan with a smile: "So, I came here mainly for the YX architecture."

Su Yuanshan blinked and smiled.

"welcome."

…

…

On May 25, Yuanxin announced the official establishment of the YOS Alliance.

In the list on the official website, Apple, Sony, Xinghai, Samsung, HP, Panasonic and other well-known IT electronic product companies are listed, basically accounting for most of the current PDA industry.

At the same time, a piece of news that only appeared in the Science and Technology Times briefing was also placed in the daily briefing and delivered to Su Yuanshan's desk.

BoEon joined forces with Nokia, Ericsson, and Motorola to establish Symbian, and the EPOC system was renamed Symbian.

After seeing this text message, Su Yuanshan was startled.

"Xiaoqian, this year is 1997, right?"

"...Mr. Shan?" Wen Xiaoqian looked at Su Yuanshan in surprise. For a moment, she thought Su Yuanshan was confused: "HK will return this year."

"Oh...yes." Su Yuanshan chuckled and put the briefing aside.

Unexpectedly, Saipan actually appeared a year in advance.

And it’s still a familiar recipe.

Even the partners are the same.

After thinking about it, Su Yuanshan picked up the briefing note, commented a few sentences on the news about the establishment of Saipan, and ordered Wen Xiaoqian to take it to YOS Laboratory, and asked Chen Gang to find someone to keep an eye on it, and keep an eye on it like that.

——Whether it is Symbian or Android, if you see one, you have to strangle it in the cradle. Su Yuanshan does what he says.

Most of the subsequent briefings are related to the situation in Southeast Asia, such as the recently held ASEAN Finance Ministers Meeting. It is obvious that the Bank of Thailand is almost unable to handle it and is looking for allies to find a solution.

However, with the continuous influx of international hot money, not only Thailand, but also several surrounding dragons and tigers have become targets, and empty orders appear from time to time. In this situation where everyone is in danger, ASEAN countries also expressed their helplessness.

And the most critical thing is that the Lighthouse Country seems to have forgotten Thailand, its original younger brother and ally, and did not provide support.

The briefing comes with an analysis from the risk control department of Far Core Venture Capital, which believes that Thailand will completely abandon the fixed exchange rate in another half month at most.

By then, the baht will plummet.

"The real storm is coming." Su Yuanshan quickly finished browsing the briefing and was about to go to work when the direct phone on his desk suddenly rang.

After picking up, Chen Jing's voice came from the phone.

"Xiaoshan, True Corp President Bawang is going to visit. Please set a time."

Su Yuanshan perked up after hearing this, and immediately looked at his calendar: "I will be free the day after tomorrow, what about you?"

"I guess I won't be able to do it the day after tomorrow. You will be in charge then. Anyway, our partners in Southeast Asia have long wanted to meet you."

Su Yuanshan thought for a moment and then smiled and said: "That's okay, you just need to make arrangements and notify me."

"OK."

Su Yuanshan hung up the phone and took a long breath.

The cooperation between Yuanxin and True Corp began as early as the era of pagers, and was later the first foreign communications company to invest in Yuanxin.

With the support of Yuexin, True Corp has changed its status as a younger brother in its previous life and has become Thailand's largest communications company after TOT (Thailand's state-owned telecommunications company). Even in terms of the scale of infrastructure construction, True Corp has to surpass TOT.

It's a pity that True Corp stopped its expansion in Thailand before the financial crisis and instead focused on overseas... Otherwise, True Corp might already be the largest operator in Thailand.

Now, Thailand's domestic financial situation is in turmoil, interest rates are extremely high, stock prices and house prices have plummeted, people are running on U.S. dollars, coupled with the withdrawal of foreign capital, the entire middle class is panicking...

However, it seems that all industries are in recession, but for some industries, especially the basic service industry, it is a good opportunity to turn around.

So True Corp's top executives obviously can't sit still.

After taking a few deep breaths, Su Yuanshan dialed Sun Xihui's cell phone again.

The ringer only thought for a moment before being picked up.

"Sister Sun, it's me."

"Haha, I know it's you - I was making a bet with Qin Si yesterday about how long you will be stable. She said you have to wait until the Thai baht collapses, and I said you only have these few days. It seems that I know you better. ha."

On the phone, Sun Xihui's voice was full of pride.

Su Yuanshan laughed loudly: "Yes, yes, you know better. Sister Sun, how is your contact with Shinawatra?"

"The contact is very good, but... you know, the identity of the boss of Shinawatra is extraordinary. And this is a family business in itself... It is difficult for us to seek greater benefits, but from the perspective of cooperation, there is no question."

Su Yuanshan smiled slightly, thinking of course. The boss of Shinawatra is a figure who will reach the top in the future... and he spent 20 billion baht to buy the 20-year management rights of TOT a few years ago.

From this perspective, Yuanxin is Shinawatra's "enemy".

"Let's not talk about seeking profits for now, let's talk about cooperation. Do you think you can make an appointment with the person in charge there to visit Yuanxin?"

"Okay, when?"

"It would be best if you can come the day after tomorrow." Su Yuanshan paused as he spoke, then raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Let's just say that Yuanxin will promote the cooperation between True Corp and TOT. By the way, it's best to invite someone in their family who can manage things. people."

"good!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Yuanshan thought of the beautiful Siamese female leader and felt a little expectant.

If that person is really coming, then he really has to be well prepared.

Make a good impression.
