Chapter 730: Open Authorization
In the Persian-style living room, Atletico is typing with one hand to deal with the whispers and public shouts from the players, and the opportunity for the big boss to face the players is rare, and both sides are very active.
Suddenly, he heard an exclamation from beside him, "Ahhh
Glancing at the glittering mobile phone in his hand, and seeing that the Yin Virtue Divine Light above the character's head had disappeared, Atletico immediately understood what was happening, and immediately smiled and asked: "Then what time do you want to play?"
Without the temporary luck bonus, Tang Jiayi lost the interest of continuing to wander around, and quit the game casually. Because she subconsciously glanced at the time displayed on her mobile phone, she realized that the other party came back a little early today.
As soon as the question came out, she had already thought of the answer, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "Oh, it's so old, I actually forgot that today is the closing day of the BPA, and it should be over there, right?"
In order to better organize the partner conference, many departments of the bee garden have started the "997" mode of voluntary overtime, that is, working until 9 p.m. on weekends. Because of this, Boss Ma didn't go home until after 21 o'clock during this time, and now the sky outside is still bright.
Atletico let out a long sigh, "Yes, the mission is finally complete!"
Bee invests a lot of resources in the operation of BPA every year, in addition to setting goals and coordinating orders, another important intention is to show the supply chain and developers the results and draw a new pie: everyone sees that our mobile phones are selling more and more, the profit margin is getting higher and higher, and the system is healthy and there is money to be made, don't think about it all day long!
Although the three pillars that support this system are their own chips, application games and gas station systems, third-party forces are still worth fighting for, after all, the ancestors have long said that "the geographical advantage is not as good as the people, the righteous are more helped, and the unrighteous are less helped". Moreover, this also involves the competition for resources, so naturally we cannot easily abandon the territory and leave it to others to occupy. In fact, bees actively carry out technology transfer for this purpose, after all, the technology developed by bees themselves is naturally compatible with the bee system, and supporting them to develop and grow can indirectly expand their own territory.
In addition to the temptation of financial interests, Atletico Madrid, the big boss, also took on the task of launching an emotional offensive to win people's hearts. Even if he doesn't need to sacrifice his hue, the necessary social interaction is indispensable.
The sheer developers are a bit of a tech guru and angel investor, making the conversation between Atletico and them more like a fan meeting with a celebrity, and it's a lot of fun, but it's generally lighthearted.
However, it is not so easy to communicate with supply chain representatives. Some of these people are upstream component manufacturers, some are downstream channel dealers, and there are crooked fruit profiteers, all of whom are old birds with ups and downs in the business sea, and good hands at observing words and feelings. When dealing with them, of course, you have to raise the spirit of twelve, do a good job in expression management, and actively analyze the other party's micro-expressions and extraneous meanings.
Fortunately, he had two sets of physical reserves, and he finally managed to cope with it. Under the efficient management of E7U, the body can always be fully rested and renewed, and the mental fatigue could have been solved, but Atletico still chose to release it through primitive activities. And the effect is also quite good.,He has time to talk to players on his mobile phone about how to change the game.。
As he spoke, his hands were still on the screen, and text was constantly sent to the computer room of the Bee Game Center next door, and then transmitted to the user's mobile phone on the other side through the Bee Cloud network.
Noticing Atletico Madrid's "blind play", Tang Jiayi looked down at the mobile phone in her palm, and suddenly asked: "Have you sold this?"
"What about it?" Atletico put down the glittering "colorful rhythm" in his hand and said casually: "Everyone says it's amazing, but no one is tempted." ”
"Hee-hee, I refused at every turn, it seems that everyone has some confidence in building a mobile phone for the blind. ”
As she spoke, Tang Jiayi's fingers unconsciously stroked the screen, feeling the unique and subtle touch on it, "You must not have let them try the feel, right?"
She had exchanged several times before, and now she has Atletico's mobile phone in her hand. The latter has been using this special phone with a tactile screen in recent days, with a unique double-layered micro-motor screen that "displays" the bump pattern and recognizes and responds to the user's touch. In this way, the eyes can recognize the content and complete the interaction without looking at the fingers. To show this, Atletico have been showing off his blind playing skills publicly.
In fact, even if the screen does not have a concave and convex effect, he can still achieve blind typing with a strong memory, and if necessary, he can also wirelessly project and connect to the screen in his brain to cheat, and he is not afraid of any complicated situations. Just like now, with each other's mobile phones in hand, Atletico can still type while talking.
"When I saw someone, I pulled it and said, 'Come and touch my phone, doesn't it feel very good?' ”
"But your performance has failed in the past few days!" Tang Jiayi continued to complain.
Atletico didn't really care, "If you fail, you fail, and I didn't really think about handing it over anyway." ”
Two months ago in Barcelona, Bee had a high-profile display of this new touch technology called LST (movable type screen), and he made a public appearance with his new mobile phone in the past few days with two main goals, one is to find interested partners for it, and the other is to strategically defraud competitors and mislead them in the direction of research. It's just that the result is not good, the partners don't cooperate, and the competitors shouldn't care too much.
Of course, this technology is true, but it is not mature enough and not producible, and there are many difficulties in practical application.
The screen of the machine in Atletico's hand was created by him with special means, which is difficult to replicate on a large scale. Those partners who come to participate in BPA are all veterans, and even if they can't see the specific problems of the new technology, just thinking about the bees not letting the butterfly DSI come to produce it, you can know that there must be something in it. The latter is a joint venture company of bees, specializing in the production of butterfly screens, the same as MEMS screens, movable type screens have a lot of similarities with them, and it is the most reliable and convenient choice to hand them over, and someone's so-called tight production capacity is an excuse at a glance.
Fortunately, these are just idle chess, and the two of them didn't pay much attention to it. Thinking of the news she saw at noon, Tang Jiayi blinked and asked, "Did you really announce the opening and authorization of the bee system at the meeting?"
The other party shook his head vigorously, "Of course it's not a rumor, this is a blockbuster propaganda bomb I prepared for BPA, and now it seems that the effect is not bad, and the popularity of the topic has increased several times." ”
But Ms. Tang was not very interested in the news, and asked directly: "Why did it suddenly open up?
Ma Jing patted her, "Dear, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are at home, I have worked very hard to support this system in the past few years." ”
Last year, the sales of bee mobile phones hit a new high, but this is only the first time that the market share of the bee system has reached 5% in the country and 2% in the world. In the past few years, the sales volume and share of bees were smaller, and even if it was reluctantly open to licensing, third parties would not take a fancy to it, so it was better to be patient with it.
So it's not all nonsense for him to say that it's hard to support alone, the early bee system and the main applications above are all developed by him alone, after all, he has E7U as a helper, and the development speed is fast, and others can't cooperate. His so-called BC intelligent programming platform was actually a fully manual platform at the beginning, and the program framework submitted by other programmers was not handed over to the so-called artificial intelligence, but was fully accepted by Atletico Madrid, and then pretended to be a work of programming software. So at the beginning, the bees regarded it as a killer secret weapon, but in fact, it was to hide it, and it was to keep it as secret as my rabbit in order to "not let you know how bad my weapon is".
However, this process also alludes to the development law of AI artificial intelligence, with the gradual maturity of the code base and programming ideas, as well as the analysis and imitation of other artificial intelligence, especially E7U, he really made a good AI program. Then BC became a real intelligent platform, which effectively reduced the company's development cost, improved the development speed, and the code quality was particularly stable, coupled with the joint efforts of hundreds of thousands of CTA part-time developers, the ecology of the bee system was established brick by brick.
As sales reached 20 million, they also found that the proportion of Android and iOS replacement users is increasing rapidly, which means that the incremental users have been converted, and the competition for resources between several camps has begun to intensify, and head-to-head confrontation is inevitable. At this time, it is somewhat inappropriate to adhere to the previous policy of "diligent internal training, building walls and accumulating food", and the bee system needs a more positive attitude, and it has become an inevitable choice to attract allies.
"As for why I only think of opening up now, of course the time has come," Ma Jingyun said lightly: "The third party, to put it mildly, is called an ally and a partner, but in essence, it is a vassal who gathers for profit, and can only share wealth and prosperity and cannot help each other." Microsoft indosPhone is a typical failure, although Tian brand itself and authorized third parties are producing P, but the market is still shrinking, Microsoft itself has PC, Xbox, and cloud computing to take care of, and the third party also has its own careful thinking. Manufacturers are like this, and application developers naturally have little enthusiasm, heheP will be cut one day, at least 100% of the arm branch will be cut. ”
Tang Jiayi stood up and sat on the sofa opposite, "Even if you don't make mobile phones, people will still lie down and collect your royalties!"
"It won't be long since I received it, the patent is valid for 20 years, and many patents in the 95 era have expired. ”
INDOS is the most successful and popular desktop operating system, and in order to better adapt to user habits, the new Android and Bee systems can only take the initiative to consider it, compatible with the former's files, networks, and operation specifications, and naturally have to pay large patent fees to others. But as time goes by, early patents either expire or are excluded for security reasons, and the royalties paid by Bee to Microsoft are slowly declining. It's a pity that Microsoft has changed its strategy and no longer emphasizes its own smartphones, otherwise it will have its own patents to swap, and Bee will be completely exempt from paying this money.
"In fact, Microsoft was right to buy mobile phone manufacturers at the beginning, but they made the mistake of buying Lumia. If I had bought BlackBerry or other North American brands, it would never have been as miserable as it is now, obviously I didn't sell many mobile phones, and I had to pay for the needs of users all over the world, and once it was not satisfied, I would threaten to abandon it. ”
Shaking his head slightly, Atletico Madrid said with shining eyes: "We have now basically accounted for 10% of the domestic share and have our own basic market." Next, you can bring in a third party to encourage them to develop market segments or international markets and expand the momentum of the bee system. ”
"Aren't you afraid that they will compete with you at a low price?"
Atletico Madrid put up his palm as a knife and slashed falsely, "They dare? The chip supply is in our hands, and if they dare to jump around, they will be out of stock! Besides, when it comes to comprehensive cost performance, who can surpass our monthly rental machine?"
His words are not nonsense, the mobile phones provided by the rental business are all high-end and even flagship products of major brands at home and abroad, even if they are all machines of previous years, the main configuration is somewhat outdated or even inferior to some cost-effective thousand-yuan machines, but in terms of product workmanship, it is better than the latter, after all, the original positioning is different. Coupled with the effective continuation of the bee system, it is not a big problem for these former flagships to fight for another year or two. This is also the killer feature of Bee, although some people follow the example of Bee to do a similar old mobile phone renovation and rental business, but because it cannot solve the continuous growth of Android application resource demand, it cannot effectively improve the use experience of old mobile phones, and finally it is gone.
And in the process of dismantling and researching and adapting the bee system to it, the siege lions of Atletico and Bee also absorbed a lot of positive and negative experience from their peers and applied them to their own products. Although the shape of the bee mobile phone is not much copied by others, but the meat of the bun is not on the folds, and those who know the know understand that the bee is the best and most wonderful copy, and it is they who are the ones who are always green and blue. As long as the front and back nearly ten Bee phones are disassembled and put together, even ordinary users can find a huge improvement in circuit design.
The only thing that can tie the hands and feet of bees is the copyright lawsuits of other mobile phone manufacturers. After the circuit design has been absorbed, the "teacher" wants to investigate but has no way to say it, but the act of renting out the refresh system of other mobile phones can make a fuss about copyright and rental rights. Bee rental can only be limited to developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and dare not enter developed countries for fear of being accused, resulting in a gap in their tried and tested BP second-hand portfolio.
They chose to open the license at this time, but also to let the third-party manufacturers fill this vacancy, since they don't make low-end machines and dislike low profits, then they might as well hand it over to the third party.
