Chapter 315: Trojan Horse Scheme
In fact, the current situation of bees can never be said to be bad, it can only be said that the growth rate is slower than before, from the magical performance of the previous years to the excellent level of last year.
In the eyes of outsiders, it is actually normal for bees to have such a performance, so that it is in line with the normal law of enterprise development, small and medium-sized companies in the initial stage can double or even several times a year because of the small plate, but the growth of the performance and scale of large companies is much slower, and it seems that the turnover is huge but the profits are devoured and consumed by the expanding internal institutions, if it is in the fully competitive or even fierce industry, such as retail and foundry, it is very good to be able to have 5% of the net profit in the end.
For example, Wal-Mart, which ranked first in the world's top 500 companies in 2010 and has an operating income of more than $400 billion from a global supermarket chain, has an annual profit of only $13.4 billion, with a profit margin of just over 3%.
That is, the high-tech industry with high risk, high investment and high return can be a little special, either with huge losses or huge profits. But the crazy ones like Joe's Apples are still only outliers and a few. Because of the hot sales of the iPhone 4 and iPad, in 2010 they earned a net profit similar to that of Walmart. And because the world's top 500 companies are ranked according to the amount of operating income, Apple, which has an annual revenue of less than 60 billion US dollars, can only rank outside the top 100, and is even a little lower than the ranking of Hon Hai, the parent company of Futukang Wanwan, which has been plagued by 12 consecutive jumps recently. However, the latter, as a foundry that produces coolies, has net profits and profit margins that cannot be compared with his big financiers.
In fact, without a series of "contributions" from Atletico Madrid, Apple's revenue and net profit could have been a little higher.
The most famous third-party modified version of the Android camp, the best Android camera app, the best voice app, the most convenient and secure permission management app and the most power-saving video playback software are all from Bee, and he himself has provided essential technical support for these bee products to port the Android system. With the help of these software, the problems that plague the Android system, such as unsightly photos, stuck touches, frequent self-starting, stealing traffic, and excessive battery consumption, have been more or less improved.
The reason why Atletico Madrid wants to strengthen the Android camp of Bee OS's competitor is that one of the real purposes is to unite Wu to fight Cao, and the more competitive latter can be in overseas markets such as the United States
It plays a greater role in the control of Apple iOS, and it is in the interests of bees to resist the strong when the bees themselves cannot eat this market. At the same time, another purpose of Bee is also to bury Trojans and nails in the Android camp, so that foreign users know about the existence of Bee OS and Bee software, so as to pull them into their own camp in the future.
When Mobile took the open source Android provided by Google, deleted and replaced Google services, launched the OMS system and fully pre-installed in the mobile custom mobile phone, Bee also produced and launched its own modified version of the system Bee Touch DAndroid (BMA), which is divided into the overseas version without removing Google services and removing Google services to add the mainland special Chinese Simplified Chinese version of the Bee software store.
Although the BMA system is still an open source system, a large number of bee software pre-installed on it are closed-source, and many of them are only launched on BMA, to be precise, only on a number of million-selling Android phones that the latter provides adaptation, and Bee tries to use "beeification" to treat the much-criticized "fragmentation" of Android. Because of the open source, the latter is used as an operating system by hundreds of mobile phones with different configurations, and is smeared and modified by mobile phone manufacturers and operators, making it difficult for the latter to provide a consistent and good experience similar to iOS.
Although most of the enhancements to the system are launched in the form of bee applications, such as the new touch screen driver module and permission management module because they are more closely integrated with the system, they can only be improved in the form of modifying the system source code, and the relevant code has been included in the official version by Google, and soon appeared on other Android phones, which is a complete "rival".
However, there is no way to do it, and the launch of BMA is actually the best choice after Bee Mobile recognizes the reality and gives up treatment.
Although the Bee mobile phone has previously "successfully entered" the US market in the form of appearing on the Amazon network shelves, its sales in the US market are very small. In more than a year, the total sales volume has struggled to cross the threshold of 100,000 units, making beeos2 always the last place in various smartphone market share survey rankings, and even making bee mobile phones blush and embarrassed is that its proportion is not as high as beeos1.
The first-generation beeos released by Atletico Madrid five years ago is actually a hodgepodge of a variety of third-party systems, including low-end feature phone versions adapted to a variety of old brand phones and copycat machines, as well as versions adapted to Symbian smart phones. After Bee integrated mobile phone resources to establish a mobile phone subsidiary and sold Bee mobile phones equipped with BeeOS2, the update speed of the first-generation Bee OS slowed down significantly, and only a few models of mobile phones can continue to receive feature update patches.
Although it is refrigerated by bee mobile phones, because the low-end feature phones have not completely disappeared and are still sold in the market, there are many feature phone users who have been introduced by others to brush beeos1 on their mobile phones, and because the latter comes with the relationship between simplified and traditional Chinese and the four interface languages of the United States, Britain and English by default, they have also been introduced to foreign countries by domestic netizens, and have silently developed the first batch of overseas fans for bees in a few years.
Originally, they were just brushing beeos on the old feature phones, but after Nokia released the last N-series Symbian N8, Symbian users with egg pain suddenly found that the N8 plus Beeos1 was actually unusually "delicious", causing this old system, which was already a little silent, to suddenly become popular abroad. Bees also took action to launch B4N (Nokia Symbian mobile phone dedicated beeos), which actually led to a lot of growth in N8 sales, I don't know if the new CEO of the Symbian system as a burning sea of fire Elop doesn't know how to be relieved that Symbian is really not as good as a third-party system, or should it hurt N8 The child left by the predecessor is so good, isn't this a blockage for him?
The Canadian, who joined Microsoft in 2008 and was responsible for leading the Office 2010 project, couldn't wait to cut off the Symbian business that Nokian had acquired only two years ago.
Instead of joining the thriving Android camp or strengthening the cooperation with Intel Meego (also derived from Linux), he led the crumbling mobile phone giant into the weakest Microsoft camp at the time, which led the "unbelievable" behavior that earned Elop the nickname "Trojan Horse", and opponents believed that Microsoft allowed Nokia to poach him in order to get Nokia into the WP camp.
Regardless of whether this CEO is a "Trojan horse" or not, or whether Nokia's board of directors is in a hurry to go to the doctor and mistakenly trust the old military doctor, for bees, the popularity of other than beeos is a happy event worth celebrating. Although bees did not get much economic benefit from the latter from front to back because of the completely free relationship, the intangible popularity and brand reputation benefits have increased significantly.
It is precisely because of the benefits of brand image that after repeated trade-offs, Bee Mobile chose to launch the same free BMA system in overseas markets, and later launched a domestic Chinese version that removed Google services and equipped with a more secure and powerful Bee software store in response to the eager expectations of domestic Android users.
This move will inevitably strengthen the use of other mobile phones, which will affect the sales of bee mobile phones, but after the bee heart CPU project fell into a bottleneck, which led to a slowdown in the sales growth of bee mobile phones, the management of bee mobile phones in front of the worst results of fame and fortune lost, had to reluctantly choose to seek fame, and released the Chinese BMA system in early 2011.
At that time, not many people realized that the coming era of mobile online games would replace their thankless worries with "too many people rushing to send money".
Limited to the manufacturing process, the new CPU taken out by the bee computer in early 2011 is still shrinking in the number of transistors, although the new generation of 210 series chips still maintain the dual-core structure, but the internal architecture has been completely reconstructed, the actual effect has reached the level of A4CPU used by the iPhone4, and it is particularly successful in its proud power-saving ability. Although there are at least 30% fewer transistors than the latter, the 210 is fully capable of bringing a strong heart to the bee phone thanks to the completely reconstructed circuit structure under the leadership of Atletico Madrid.
But before that, the fans of Bee Mobile Phone "Honey" have to endure half a year of ticket jumping!
The complex three-dimensional circuits composed of hundreds of millions of transistors inside modern processors naturally cannot be completed by designers by human means. In fact, they are all automatically generated by the CPU design software according to the CPU architecture designed by the designer and filling the preset circuit modules respectively. Software can only guarantee that they are usable, after all, they are inherited from the mature circuits of the past, but it cannot guarantee that they are optimal. Because the overly complex circuitry makes it difficult to modify the details, the potential performance gains from the huge investment are small, and it is better to keep them the same, at least not to lose more than they lose.
Atletico Madrid is also forced to optimize the scale of the CPU structure, from optimizing the architecture to streamline the module, to the level of streamlining the microcircuit optimization structure, fortunately, he has brainwave 3D printing CPU as a help, and he can test better CPU microcircuits one by one. And the end result is a mixed review of the Bee Heart 210 series.
The 210 series CPUs have abandoned the traditional CPU design method that is easy to do, and the reconstructed microcircuits have greatly improved the efficiency of instruction execution, thus saving a considerable number of transistors, but it also brings the embarrassment of not having any software support.
As a last resort, Bee Mobile had to announce that the fourth-generation Bee mobile phone in 2011 temporarily jumped the ticket, and at the same time consoled himself and fans with the million sales of the Bee Band Lite using the Bee Heart 211 processor, the wait is always worth it, please be sure to stick to it.
The 210 series CPU has different models for different use environments, the Bee production version of the wearable device uses the 211 chip with the lowest power consumption, the Bee mobile phone uses 212, the tablet with a larger battery capacity uses the 213 with better performance, and the 214 with a larger power consumption suitable for laptops and desktops equipped with external power supply devices, and the server version 215, a total of five models.
However, in addition to the gradual application of the 215 processor in Bee's own computer room, several other devices equipped with them are still under development although they have been produced, and the hot sales of the bee bracelet are even more unexpected.
At the beginning of the year, when Bee gradually sold these wearable devices, the management of Brain Technology optimistically predicted that the coolest Bee glasses and the cheapest Bee headphones should be able to achieve better sales, but the end result was that the sales of ankle ring products that did not appear to be on the table and were actually not on the table were growing the fastest.
In addition to the second cheapest and longest available advantages of the ankle ring, there is also a reason for its hot sales that makes the management of brain computer technology quite painful, someone has developed a third-party software, so that the ankle ring can also be used to unlock the mobile phone, the hand wearing the ankle ring can be used to unlock the screen or automatically fill in the specified password in the password input box, which is greatly convenient for larger bee users.
Close to automatic unlocking was originally the main function of the bee bracelet, but the designers did not design this function for the ankle ring, nor did they set the automatic password entry function for the bracelet, but after seeing the "wisdom of the masses", they quickly attacked and acquired the third-party lock screen and password management software, and launched a simplified version of the bee bracelet. The Lite version, which has the display and some sensors removed and has a smaller battery, is cheaper than the ankle ring, and has a variety of straps to choose from, making it much more pleasing to the eye than a wide ankle band on the hand. The comprehensive application of the low-power 211 chip and the streamlining of most of the components also enable it to still provide more than 30 days of continuous use.
It was precisely after seeing the success of the 211 processor that Tang Jiayi accepted Atletico Madrid's persuasion and instructed the brokerage team that invested in stocks on behalf of them to sell more than 5/1000 of Apple shares in their names one after another, but because Jobs was seriously ill and hospitalized, the stock price fluctuated, and the selling action was temporarily suspended.
Since 07, they began to buy Apple shares, and increased their holdings year after year, and now this investment has a market value of nearly a billion US dollars, and a small fluctuation in Apple's stock price will lead to a huge loss of their property, and Apple has no major problems in operation, so the two chose to wait and see for the time being. Of course, this also has to do with the fact that they do not plan to transfer the money back to China, but plan to use it to acquire small American companies and necessary patents.
