Unparalleled True Technology

Chapter 22 A special way of gratitude

The future development trend of computers, mobile phones, and other personal digital devices are all in Wen Ming's mind.

He even has the technology to develop products that are popular all over the world and sought after by countless people.

But everything is difficult at the beginning. He is actually alone in this world without any financial support. He wants to start from scratch, but he doesn't know when he will succeed.

Strategically, he completely despises established companies such as Nokia, Microsoft, and Google, but tactically, he attaches great importance to these companies. Because of one mistake, everything about him could become a part of these companies.

After dreaming of the biographical film "Steve Jobs", he learned about the hardships that Apple has experienced. Even the founder of Apple can be fired from Apple. Even a genius like Steve Jobs A person who is almost expelled will suffer from depression, so what about him?

The knowledge he possessed was obtained from his dreams. Although he could use it, he did not obtain it through his own hard work after all. What if he created the apple, but was swallowed up by those big fish?

Therefore, even if he hasn't started his business yet, he still needs to make some preparations in advance. For example, poaching people from Microsoft.

Being able to become a senior engineer of Microsoft Corporation, Downers' technical strength is absolutely beyond doubt. Moreover, Donalds is one of Wen Ming's saviors. If there is a chance, Wen Ming is willing to give Downers a fortune to repay his kindness this time.

In particular, Downers will become his 'enemy' and be killed by him.

You can't be a bitch, but you need a person who is not ashamed.

"bet?"

Downers became interested and asked, "What do you want to bet with me?"

Wen Ming said confidently: "At present, the most popular operating system in the market is definitely Nokia's Symbian operating system, followed by the Android operating system developed by Google in conjunction with several companies. Apart from this, no other mobile phone operating system can become rivals to both."

In the previous life, the Android system was developed by an engineer named Andy, who used to work in Apple's mobile phone division. Later, he founded his own company, but it closed down due to poor management.

Until 2005, he developed the Android system, which was acquired and injected by Google, and Google joined the Open Mobile Phone Alliance formed by 84 hardware manufacturers, software developers, and telecom operators to improve and upgrade the Android system. The first Android smartphone, released in 2008.

(ps: Therefore, the Android system itself is free, and Google is only one of the developers. He has no right to charge hardware manufacturers who use the Android system. Otherwise, Google’s market value has already exceeded trillions of dollars. Of course, if the fee is also It cannot be used by so many companies.)

In this world, apart from the absence of Apple, the birth of Android is roughly the same as Wen Ming's previous life. Because it is a free and easy-to-use smartphone system, it has been welcomed by many mobile phone manufacturers once it was launched.

For other mobile phone companies without the Symbian system, it is definitely very beneficial to use this system to compete with Nokia in the market.

After hearing Wen Ming's words, Donalds nodded in agreement, but he was not surprised because it was a well-known fact.

Wen Ming continued: "The Windows phone mobile phone system that your company is planning to launch is nothing more than to occupy the market share of the mobile phone system. Although you look down on the profits of the mobile game market, you will definitely not pay attention to the profits of the mobile phone system market." ignore."

Downers smiled and asked, "Then, the bet you're talking about isn't related to the Windows phone system I'm developing, is it?"

Wen Ming also laughed and said: "It is true,

However, my bet is a bit complicated. "

Donnas didn't speak, but continued to look at Wen Ming with a smile on his face, waiting for what Wen Ming said was complicated.

"I think the Symbian system will eventually be completely eliminated. If Nokia does not seek to change, it will definitely go out of business because of the Android system."

In Wen Ming's previous life, Nokia has occupied the first place in the global mobile phone market share for 14 consecutive years since 1996, and it was not surpassed by both Apple and Samsung until 2011. You know, in 2010, Apple has already launched the iPhone 4, which is said to have changed the mobile phone.

And there is no Apple in this world, and it is 2009 again, and the Android system has just been born. Although it is popular, its market share is not much. Nokia, at this time, is definitely the king of the world's mobile phone industry.

Saying that Nokia will go bankrupt because of a nascent system is like saying that a King of Glory used his No. 1 character in the real national server, and a solo elementary school student who also used this character, not only lost, but also lost confidence in being beaten Heart uninstalled the same as the king of pesticides.

If it was heard by other people, they would definitely think that Wen Ming was trying to attract people's attention.

But Wen Ming's words still didn't surprise Downers too much. As the developer of the WP system, he was well aware of the disadvantages of Nokia's Symbian system. Moreover, he knows the purpose of Microsoft's development of the WP mobile phone system, and who will be the first mobile phone device manufacturer to use this system.

"What's the reason?"

Wen Ming heard the question from Donalds, saw that Donalds didn't show any surprise expression, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

Why is the IQ of this Downers not at the NPC level? Normally speaking, shouldn't it be an exaggerated reaction and fierce refutation, and then be bowed down on the spot by your own analysis?

"The reason is that Nokia acquired Symbian, making the Symbian system exclusive to Nokia."

When Wen Ming said this reason, he also felt a little sorry for Nokia. The first Symbian system mobile phone was launched by Ericsson in 2000. The Symbian system at that time was not a smartphone system, and the Symbian system was not unique to Nokia.

In 2006, there were more than 100 million mobile phones using the Symbian system in the world. After Nokia wholly acquired Symbian in 2008, LG, Sony Ericsson and other manufacturers began to announce their withdrawal from the Symbian platform and switch to other mobile phone systems. It's actually Android.

Nokia's idea was good, because the Symbian system at that time was equivalent to the Windows system in the computer world, and Nokia was a hardware manufacturer. This acquisition is likely to allow Nokia to monopolize the mobile phone market and become a presence that surpasses Microsoft.

In 2007, Microsoft's market cap was only $249.17 billion, while Nokia's was $115.1 billion. If Nokia can monopolize the mobile phone market, it will definitely surpass Microsoft, an IT company that does not focus on hardware.

It's a pity that Nokia has pushed all its competitors to the Android mobile phone system, and there is also the explosive rise of Apple mobile phones. The most important thing is that after the Symbian system was acquired by Nokia, the experience of using the updated version is getting worse and worse, and the technology cannot keep up with the times.

The result is that Nokia went from a market value of 100 billion U.S. dollars in 2007 to being acquired by Microsoft for 7.1 billion U.S. dollars in 2013.

A mistake in decision-making brought a giant who had dominated the mobile phone industry for 14 years to such an end.

After Wen Ming answered his reason, Downes' expression finally became a little serious, but he was still not overly surprised. Because of this argument, someone has already raised it.

However, no one is as confident as Wen Ming.

"Is this what you analyzed, or did you read relevant analysis articles from the Internet?" Downers asked, "If you just read a few Internet articles or news reviews, it doesn't make this a relationship between us. The content of the bet."

Wen Ming smiled and said: "I haven't finished yet, there is another content about the bet, that is, the WP mobile phone system that your company is developing will not be an opponent of Android."
