Chapter 725: Steady and Steady (I)

Apple acquired Siri in 2010, and then the development of this originally powerful virtual assistant software was limited, canceling cooperation such as Siri booking movie tickets and restaurant reservations, and also wanted to integrate the Siri cloud service team with the ICcloud team. In other words, the power struggle between the two made some members of the Siri team choose to leave. These include Dag Keterrose, the father of Siri, Adam Scheer and Chris Brigham, among others.

The premeditated husk found these people, and Kalifiorina personally took them to meet Zhou Shi.

"That's right, I have this idea, to connect the world through voice control" Zhou Shi

"What is the development model you envision?" said Dag Keteros

"We are developing a smart voice speaker, if there is no choice, we will continue to cooperate with Felix of Time, his main functions are similar to those on mobile smart terminals, but it will be bound to Time Music, and it needs to be connected to the Internet. Through it, you can perform some common query tasks, set schedules, memos, play music...... However, I hope that this intelligent assistant is an open one, which can expand more interfaces and cooperate with more enterprises, such as ordering food, controlling light bulbs, TVs, refrigerators, etc......

"What do you want this smart assistant to do?" said Dag Keterrose

"I hope it is the future of human-computer interaction, an assistant in life, and the central ...... of home appliance control," Zhou Shi

"You don't want it to be smarter?" said Dag Keterrose

"Someone is responsible for intelligent things, for example, Time and Yahoo have more advantages, if Guoke wants to develop in this direction, it's nothing, anyway, they have money. "Zhou Shi

"You, you're so honest....." Dag Keterrose

"There are many possibilities for the future, and I don't think it's a bad thing to have competition, it's even more fascinating for the world to keep its diversity, and if you want your Siri to unify the planet, then I'm probably looking for the wrong person. "Zhou Shi

"I'm not arrogant, at most I want to conquer the ......universe," said Dag Keteros

"Haha......" Zhou Shi

"Haha......" Dag Keteros

It doesn't hit it off, at least Dag Keterros was taken over by Guoke and became the R&D director of Guoke's virtual intelligent assistant, making final preparations for the launch of Guoke smart speakers.

Of course, the acquisition of Harman International by Guoke is to launch a smart voice speaker product with excellent sound quality, with a nutty smart router and WIFI assistant (Xiaomi WIFI, a variation of wireless network card). The wireless network environment of European and American families will be greatly improved, and smart voice speakers connected through wireless networks will come into play.

In the previous life, Amazon speakers can account for more than 60% of the entire market share, and even if you can't do it a year in advance, there is a great possibility that you will become the leader of this market for a long time.

The development of the shell to the present product line has expanded a lot, the main source of profit is mobile phones and tablets, and later acquired the integration of DJI drones and their own action cameras, and began the development of the personal consumption market in advance, with excellent cost performance, exquisite appearance design, harvested a large number of consumers, just because of the price problem, limited development, with the reduction of the price of various electronic accessories, the sales of the shell drone will also have a greater increase. As for Mobileye, another company he acquired, it has been relatively slow to develop, and the domestic market can not help him much at the moment. Later, it cooperated with Microsoft to launch a shell notebook equipped with Windows8, although it is not a failure, but compared to the sales of shell mobile phones and shell PAD, it is really nothing, less than one million, mainly because the system of Windows8 is not acceptable, WindowsRT based on ARM chip was abandoned by Fruitshell, Microsoft itself has launched its own Surface computer, without the addition of brand, it is worse than Fruitshell. Fortunately, Guoke launched a PC, not a tablet, and if it was a tablet, it might be even worse. The loss of the shell notebook is certain, and there is a certain damage to the brand image, as for the things between the gains and losses, who knows?

The failure of Windows 8 has taught us that even a very successful business can still have its time to stumble. The Windows phone mobile operating system is actually very good, and the user experience is very good, uh, all kinds of features that are used very infrequently, and the user experience is very good. As for the high-frequency applications of those smartphones, hehe, Microsoft does not have any advantages.

However, the failure of Windows phone cannot be entirely blamed on this, mainly because Microsoft's ambitions are too big, and they want to make an operating system that adapts to all terminals, and in the end they naturally take care of one or the other. Perhaps there is another reason, in the current market, IOS, Android and Android are enough for users to choose, and the style of the three is basically unified, and users migrate between these three operating systems, basically no cost. Now even BlackBerry has been suppressed to the point that there is no market in the previous life, and Microsoft's operating system is completely a product that does not exist necessarily. It is impossible to find a user who chooses the Windows phone operating system and re-adapts to the Microsoft tile feature necessary.

However, in order to give Microsoft more confidence in its own operating system, several companies under the influence of Zhou Shi relaxed their suppression of Microsoft. Even Yahoo's apps have increased their efforts to adapt to Microsoft's Windows phone. As for more help, we have to wait, the failure of Windows phone is ostensibly Microsoft's own problem, but the lack of support from carriers and terminal manufacturers also plays a big role.

When the Windows operating system dominated the world, Microsoft was in full swing, and the entire PC industry chain was suppressed under the alliance of Microsoft and Intel, and no one wanted to repeat the mistakes of the past. Therefore, after IOS, the operator supported Google Android and Time Android, two operating systems with background and potential. No one supports it, and it is difficult for Time Android, a Chinese company, to pass the certification of the Federal Communications Commission.

And what if nuts support the development of Microsoft's Windows phone, and they don't buy Nokia at a high price? Once the powerful Microsoft turns the ship around to cloud computing, it can form a crushing advantage over the fledgling Yahoo Cloud. Therefore, let them put more energy into the battlefield of the mobile Internet, as the invisible hegemon of this market, Zhou Shi can find a way to rub friction with Microsoft anytime and anywhere. Sun Tzu's Art of War tells us that it is better than easy to win, that is, to let the enemy be in a position where it is easy for us to defeat. Zhou Shi has never thought about this kind of thing as defeating the strong with the weak, that is not what a qualified leader should think about, it is opportunistic, and only when he is in a desperate situation and has no way out, he will choose to win by surprise.

Therefore, the husks, nuts, and time are all steady, Galaxy Capital and Sixiang Fund have abandoned high-risk investments, and only Zhou Shi personally steals chickens and dogs outside, that is, he has opened the halo of pig's feet and reduced countless difficulties, which is the acquisition of Yahoo in disguise.
