Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1707
This is often the case, the reason is very simple, when you can be in it, it is often difficult to distinguish.

Zhou Buqi got inspiration from Wu Yu. Senior sister Wu half showed off and half complained about the conflict between the toy factory and the carton supplier, which gave him a new understanding of the relationship between Google and Asda.

Zhou Shaoning said in a daze: "If this is the case, then we can really change our thinking. The previous thinking was to build a good relationship with Google so that Asda can keep the status of the Android king. From this point of view, there is no necessary."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "As far as the current situation is concerned, Google is working hard to win over Samsung, and Samsung is also working hard to get closer to Google. Although Astar and Google have had a honeymoon period of two years, but Astar is in An excessively high market share in the Android phone market is not in Google's own interest."

"Yes!"

Zhou Shaoning felt that the whole business idea was connected.

The most distressing problem that has been locked in my heart for the past two months has been easily solved from a different perspective.

Samsung wants to please Google, and it has to come forward to fight Apple.

Why does Asda have to follow up?

Isn't this being taken over by Samsung?

More importantly, even if Asda followed suit and worked as hard as Samsung to maintain a friendly relationship with Google, so what?If Astar shows favor, can he reap Google's kindness?

Zhou Buqi said: "Many people say that shopping malls are like battlefields. I disagree. I think shopping malls should focus more on friendly and reciprocal cooperation. However, around Google, Apple, Samsung, and Asda. This is the distribution of interests of an industry with an annual output value of hundreds of billions of dollars, and there will be no sympathy at all.”

Zhou Shaoning nodded, "The new Internet era is here, and the Android system is the core product for Google to dominate the next era. They will not shake the overall situation concerning the survival of the Android system just because of a simple personal relationship or a small favor."

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, this is the overall situation. No matter what Estar does or does, as long as Estar is the number one in the industry, it will definitely be checked and balanced by Google to a certain extent."

At this time, the two sides have reached a consensus.

The truth is not difficult.

In ancient times, it was the struggle between imperial power and prime minister power.The emperor didn't want the prime minister to have too much power, so he would promote new ministers to share the power of the prime minister, so that the courtiers would form factional checks and balances, and the emperor would stand high and be at ease.

In modern times, it is the transfer of contradictions in management strategies.For example, in North Korea, life is very poor, and many times there is no food.The authorities cannot resolve this kind of internal contradiction, so they shift to external contradictions.Scolding the imperialists as ambitious wolves every day, letting the common people vent their anger on the United States, the internal pressure will be transferred out.

Now, Asda is too powerful in the Android camp.

Big enough to threaten Google's existence.

At this time, small favors and small benefits are meaningless, and Google must play a little tricky.

On the one hand, it supports Samsung and checks and balances Astar; on the other hand, it shifts the conflict between Google and Astar to the conflict between Astar and Samsung, and Astar and Apple.

Needless to say, the strategy worked for a while.

In the past few months, Asda has really placed the main object of conflict on Samsung, thinking that Samsung's Li family's business methods are too shameless, and they will be low-key and serve as Google's pawn.

But after careful analysis, it was found that this was not the case at all!
The big boss behind it is actually Google!

In other words, for the current Asda, no matter what it does, it must be wrong, and it must not be as popular as Samsung with Google.This is determined by market share.

That being the case, why did Asda take a huge risk to file a lawsuit with Apple?
Plagiarism is certain, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

You will lose the lawsuit.

It is in the United States again, which is Apple's home field.

Honestly pay a patent fee, reconcile and get it!
Zhou Buqi said: "Business in the capital society has only one evaluation standard, which is profit. The conflict between Astar and Google is not about Astar's attitude, but Astar's market share. This is unavoidable. Reconcile the contradictions. It doesn’t really matter whether you go to court with Apple or not. Everyone is not guilty, but he is guilty.”

Zhou Shaoning is deeply convinced, "Android has already been developed, and its market position is also stable. Google is trying to balance the competitiveness of the Android market."

"Yes, it's just like bidding. The more intense the competition of Party B, the more Party A will benefit."

"So, we don't need to worry too much now, and it's useless to worry. Google will definitely do its best to help Samsung start the Android market."

"Keep your balance."

"Yes, Esta is now the number one in the market, and Google will definitely lean towards Samsung. Similarly, if Samsung surpasses Esta one day, Google will also take care of Esta. It has nothing to do with the likes and dislikes of the relationship. , this is a trick of power."

"So there's no need to worry, it's settled!" Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "Samsung is not willing to join forces with Asda to fight against Apple and Google, then we will withdraw. Secondary conflicts must be compromised to the main ones. Now I understand that the opponent of Android phones is not Apple at all. The real behind-the-scenes is Google!"

This is definitely a mystery that he only saw in this life.

In his previous life, he always heard about the comparison between Android phones and Apple phones, and thought that Android phones and Apple phones were really competitive.

Now that I figured it out, I realized that this is not the case at all!

The competitors of Android phones have never been Apple phones, but Android phones of other brands.It was Google who used a pair of invisible hands to make Android phone manufacturers fight to the death.

Hiding behind the scenes, Google played with these Android mobile phone manufacturers in applause.

Apple is just an "external hostile force" for Android phone manufacturers.

Even if Android phones can indeed compete with Apple, it is the last hurdle.

You have to pass two levels first.

The first hurdle is to defeat all other Android manufacturers, and I am the only one.

The second level is to challenge Google and rebel!Let Google be soft, and let Google truly and thoroughly tailor the Android system for a certain mobile phone.

Google's technology is much better than Apple's. Why is the Android system so much worse than the iOS system?

The big reason is that the Android system is not tailor-made for a certain mobile phone of a certain manufacturer, it is a public operating system platform.The iOS system is a system specially designed by Apple for the iPhone.

This is the biggest limitation of the Android ceiling.

After passing the first two hurdles, even if Android manufacturers are truly at the same level as Apple, they are eligible to initiate competition.

Otherwise, even Samsung Electronics, which was in full swing in the previous life, has a market value of only 3000 billion U.S. dollars, while Apple's market value is approaching 3 trillion U.S. dollars, and the two sides are not at the same level at all.

The opponent at the same level as Apple is Google, not Samsung and the entire Android phone camp.

For Asda... let alone challenging Apple in the third level, I am afraid that he will not even be able to pass the first level.

Hard-core technology is a technology that is stuck.

Hardware mainly refers to the chip; software mainly refers to the operating system.

The lifeblood is in the hands of others.

However, it is not impossible to fight.

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "For Google, this is the highest-level strategic plan. It has nothing to do with posture, relationship, or even short-term interests. It is the overall layout of the Android system. Even if Astar offends Google to death It doesn’t matter. If Samsung is the only one, even if Google is reluctant, it will definitely help Asda to snatch Samsung’s market and maintain the balance of competition.”

"Since you are not afraid of offending Google, then do it!" Zhou Shaoning snorted and made up his mind, "I have never regarded Apple as an opponent. The reason why I am interested in smartphones is because I participated in the At the press conference of the first-generation iPhone, I felt the shock of the technological revolution brought by Jobs. I don’t forget the well diggers. I’m not interested in fighting for Google and Apple. Apple is Google’s opponent, but it’s not Asda’s opponent. .”

Zhou Buqi asked, "How much is Apple's patent fee?"

Zhou Shaoning said: "Not much, each mobile phone is less than 7 US dollars. Now every Aster mobile phone sold, the patent fee is between 98-142 US dollars. A mere 7 US dollars is nothing at all."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Then go to Apple and talk about the price. Don't be afraid to give money, the brand of iPad is still in our hands. The trademark rights of China, Japan and South Korea alone are enough for Apple to drink for a while." Pot. And...Jobs is seriously ill now."

Jobs is the idol of all tech people, Zhou Shaoning looked heavy, "Well, I heard, he is already in bed."

Zhou Buqi said: "Without Jobs, the creativity of the iPhone will inevitably be greatly reduced. At this time, it is the opportunity for Aster to show its talents. Aster will fight for more design patents. In a few years, it will offset each other with Apple's design patents." .It is much easier to discuss cooperation with Apple than with Google. The things that can be solved by money are the easiest things.”

There is no strategic conflict between Apple and Asda, it is nothing more than interests.

This is the easiest thing to do.

The difficulty is the conflict between Google and Asda, which is the value of Google's long-term survival, and it cannot be resolved simply by the distribution of benefits.

Zhou Shaoning sighed, "The operating system is in the hands of others, it's not a good feeling."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "Microsoft can't handle Android."

Zhou Shaoning asked: "Is Microsoft really not good?"

"Of course not."

"Microsoft has redeveloped a smartphone operating system for the mobile Internet, and I have received an invitation."

"invite?"

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows.

Zhou Shaoning said: "Microsoft wants to cooperate with Asda to launch one or two Microsoft-based smart phones, and also give free credits for 200 million mobile phones."

Microsoft's operating system is not free, and mobile phone manufacturers need to pay for it.

However, Asda is a popular mobile phone manufacturer, and Microsoft has shown great generosity, willing to give 200 million mobile phones a free system, and if the sales of more than 200 million units are sold, they will be charged.

Zhou Buqi said: "The free quota of 200 million units is quite generous? Microsoft is still guarding the way of playing in the PC Internet era, and it hasn't woken up yet!"

Zhou Shaoning said with a smile: "This is at least a bargaining chip, and we can find system support for the next generation of fingerprint unlocking solutions."
