Rebirth of the Evil Life

Kallasvuo looked blank. What should we do now? What should Nokia do?

Nowadays, n97 has been slow to sell. Due to the absolute delay problem of this system, the phenomenon of high configuration and low power is really serious. So what should Nokia do? Although, Nokia's engineering team can modify the Symbian system to improve its efficiency and alleviate this system lag. But it is impossible to completely solve it. Because engineers underestimated the various subsequent effects of high configuration. In particular, underestimating the touch screen was the biggest mistake they made this time.

After all, Nokia has never designed a touch-screen phone before, and the n97 is Nokia's first touch-screen phone. Touch screen and keyboard phones are two completely different concepts. Nokia engineers underestimated the system requirements of a touch-screen phone, resulting in a mess of touch-screen performance.

For Kallasvuo, the most important thing now is not n97, but what will happen to Nokia in the future? Now that it has been proven that Nokia's current Symbian system is not working, what will Nokia do in the future? This is what Kallasvuo really cares about. Nokia can tolerate temporary failure, but it cannot tolerate long-term failure. But now for Nokia, n95 failed, and n97 also failed. So what will Nokia do in the future?

According to the engineers’ suggestions, the Symbian system has limited room for performance improvement. Of course, the most important thing is that the Symbian system is still a system for functional phones. Since it is a functional phone system, it is destined to have inherent flaws and cannot meet the needs of smart phones. . So now Nokia needs an intelligent system. Otherwise, Nokia's ending will be tragic. Unless Nokia keeps going the feature phone route. However, we have now entered the era of smartphones. If Nokia continues to take the feature phone route, its profits will be extremely limited. Now the high-end mobile phone market is dominated by smartphones. And it’s the high-end phones that make money. Low-end phones don’t make money at all, they just make money from the market. How can Nokia make money if it keeps selling low-end phones? If there is no profit, how can we sustain it?

But. At present, Nokia does not have an intelligent system. This is Nokia's biggest problem! Lin Feng has "Pangu", "Apple" has "", and Samsung, Motorola, and Sony have "Android". What does Nokia have?

Kallasvuo smiled bitterly. Nokia has nothing now. Intelligent systems are Nokia’s biggest shortcomings now. But how to make up for this shortcoming, Kallasvuo does not know.

At the eighth hour, n97 sales fell into a low ebb again, with a total of only more than 2,000 units in the world, and by the ninth hour. A total of less than 100 units have been sold worldwide. As for the 10th hour, n97 sales were only in single digits. What followed was a frenzy of protests and returns from many users who had purchased n97. The n97's system delays, touch failure and other problems have made many users who bought the n97 extremely angry. Their expectations for n97 were very high, but as a result, n97 was so disappointing. Especially those games are so stuck. There is no gaming pleasure at all. This is unbearable.

Like n95, n97 is once again unsaleable. This is something Nokia has never thought of before. They once assumed that n95 would be unsalable.

But I never thought that n97 would make the same mistake again. You know, the performance of n97 is definitely far superior to n95, and it is a touch screen mobile phone. How can this be unsaleable? But reality gave Nokia a cruel slap in the face.

n97 is so unsalable. You want n97 to sell well, but the result is that it is unsalable. The sales volume has just exceeded one million, and it is unsalable. How can Nokia accept this! Now for Nokia, the biggest problem is the operating system. Nokia does not have an intelligent system, which is Nokia's biggest shortcoming. But how to fill this shortcoming?

Nokia is confused! Failure after failure. This makes Nokia extremely confused. They are the king among mobile phone manufacturers, but they have always focused on hardware production. Software is by no means Nokia's specialty. But now, Nokia's shortcoming is software, so how to make up for it?

"President Kallasvuo. What should we do now?" Nokia's board of directors held an emergency meeting to discuss.

Kallasvuo lowered his head and did not dare to respond. He had no choice at the moment and didn't know what to do. He was completely lost and had no confidence at all at the moment. Originally, he was really confident in n97, but in the end, he was completely lost.

Kallasvuo's loss also represents the attitude of Nokia's board of directors today. They were all confused. They don't know what to do about Nokia's future.

"The opportunity has come!" Bill Gates said in the distant United States.

Ballmer nodded and flew to Finland in person.

Ballmer asks for a meeting? Kallasvuo looked shocked. What is Microsoft President Ballmer doing here? Is Microsoft related to you? This is incredible. But even though he couldn't figure out why Microsoft was looking for him and others, Kallasvuo still warmly received Ballmer.

"President Kallasvuo, your company is in a very difficult situation now!" Ballmer sighed, "The problem with your company is that it does not have an intelligent system of its own. Have you thought about how to solve it?"

Although Kallasvuo had been confused before, Ballmer's arrival at this moment gave him an epiphany.

"President Ballmer, our biggest shortcoming is that we don't have our own intelligent system, which makes it impossible for us to continue to defend our king status in the era of smart phones. Lin Feng's 'Fuxi' and 'Apple'' are not much better than us in hardware performance, but they have left us far behind with the advantages of software systems. President Ballmer, maybe you can give me an answer!" Kallasvuo looked at Ballmer expectantly.

Ballmer smiled slightly.

"President Kallasvuo, since you are a smart man, I won't say much nonsense. Nokia's situation is extremely bad now. After the previous rise, the stock price suffered a heavy blow. And now, if your company cannot come up with a revitalization plan, I am afraid that Nokia, a brand that has been around for decades, will decline." Ballmer said lightly, "But now, I, Microsoft, can give you such an opportunity."

Kallasvuo breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, Microsoft's goal is the operating system. I just don't know what Microsoft's conditions are.

"Mr. Ballmer, the price?" Kallasvuo asked.

"We will jointly launch a new mobile phone, each holding 50% of the shares. We will provide the mobile phone operating system, while your company will provide hardware and funds, and the profits will be split in half!" Ballmer said with a smile.

"Microsoft" provides a new operating system to help Nokia regain control of the mobile phone market. Nokia will provide all the hardware facilities, which is the most reasonable cooperation model that Ballmer has thought of. But will Nokia agree?

Microsoft provides software, Nokia provides hardware, and the profits are split in half? ——Kahn frowned. This profit distribution plan has Microsoft in the upper hand. You know, Microsoft does not pay any money, but only provides a software, while Nokia has to provide hardware, and whenever hardware is involved, there will inevitably be production costs. But Microsoft only provides software, which does not involve hardware, and the final hardware costs are provided by Nokia. What if Nokia loses money? What should Nokia do? Of course, Nokia is not unable to provide hardware, but the profit sharing cannot be split in half.

"President Ballmer, all these losses are borne by us Nokia. Don't you think this is a bit unfair?" Kallasvuo said coldly, "You know, even without Microsoft, we Nokia can develop a good enough operating system. In that case, the profits will be monopolized by us. Your request is too high!" Ballmer laughed. "President Kallasvuo, your company is engaged in hardware, while we at Microsoft specialize in software. Hardware and software are completely different fields. In the field of hardware, your company is absolutely in a leading position, but in terms of software, your company is more than one level behind us. At present, your company's n95 and n97 have proved one thing, that is, no matter how strong the hardware performance is, if there is no software to support it, the hardware performance is just a burden. Our company can provide the best software, which can be comparable to Lin Feng's 'Pangu' and 'Apple''s '' operating system. As long as we have the right operating system, I think n97 can definitely be rejuvenated, and even n95 can be reborn. We split the profits in half, and we are very sincere. If your company is still not satisfied, then we have no choice. In the end, you can only develop it yourself." Ballmer shrugged, "The reason I came here is not that we must cooperate with your company, but because we all have a common enemy-Lin Feng. If it weren't for Lin Feng, I would never come here." Kallasvuo thought about it and nodded slowly. Indeed, Microsoft is so powerful that there is no need for it to cooperate with Nokia. On the contrary, there is one thing in common between the two parties, that is, the competitor is Lin Feng. A very troublesome and unpleasant Lin Feng.

"President Ballmer, maybe we can have a good talk." Kang Peikai said.

After a long talk, Nokia and Microsoft reached an agreement. A press conference was held immediately to announce that Nokia will cooperate with Microsoft in all aspects to jointly develop a new smartphone. Microsoft will launch the '-' system, which is specially built for Nokia. It is a mobile phone operating system based on the kernel. It will be the world's best mobile phone operating system. And next year, the first mobile phone based on '-' will be officially launched. At that time, it will be possible to share files with the desktop system.

The Nokia-Microsoft Alliance is officially born!
