Zhongshan is pale and yellow in wind and rain, and millions of heroes have crossed the river. The tiger is better than the past, and the world is turned upside down and generous. It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord. If there is love in the sky, the sky is also old, and the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life.

Just when Gphone's sales were booming, Guanghui Mobile dropped a bombshell again: free access to the source code of the Android system used by Gphone.

After this information was announced through the official website and official Weibo of Guanghui Mobile, it quickly spread throughout the Internet circle and mobile phone circle, causing a heated discussion.

……

OPOO Technology.

"Guanghui Mobile is actually willing to open up its own source code for free? Has this information been confirmed? Is it true?".

"It's confirmed, it's true, but the details still need to be confirmed with them. Now there is software interface information for the Android system on the official website of Guanghui Mobile, but the source code will only be provided after detailed negotiation and confirmation of Guanghui Mobile."

"This is also normal, the publication of the interface is to allow third-party developers to develop various apps, but the source code is such a core information, there must be some additional conditions to get it."

"Well, I'm going to go to Radiance Mobile tomorrow to find out more about the situation with them."

"Well, as long as the conditions are not excessive, we can accept them. With the source code of the Android system, we will take it and develop it for the second time, and we will soon be able to form our own operating system for smartphones."

"Yes, the move of Guanghui mobile phone, I really don't know how to describe it. If I did, I wouldn't have done that."

"Jiang Hui's actions are always extraordinary, and they are not very good to evaluate."

……

High-tech step by step.

"Mr. Shen, I just contacted the people of Guanghui Mobile, and they are indeed ready to open the source code of the Android system for free."

"Have you ever asked them why they did it? I would love them to do it, but I always felt that it wasn't that simple."

"I asked, but the other party didn't know, just said that it was the company's decision."

"Are there any strings attached?".

"Yes, the Android system that mainly uses Guanghui mobile phones must install some apps by default, such as the school intranet, Guanghui Weibo, Guanghui games, etc., and then there are some requirements in terms of data sharing."

"The school's intranet Glorious Weibo is the best in the Celestial Empire, even if they don't have this requirement, we will add it ourselves, this is no problem. As for data sharing, as long as it's not too excessive, that's okay."

"Well, I think Guanghui Mobile is trying to take this opportunity to promote other products of the Guanghui Group, and the means are very clever."

"No, I think you've only seen a small part, Jiang Hui's vision shouldn't be so short-sighted. I have a hunch that the free and open operating system of Guanghui mobile phones is aimed at traditional feature phones, and the arrows are locked on giants such as Nokia and Motorola."

"Huh, what do they have to do with Nokia?".

"Of course there is, Gphone is good, you've been using it for a day, and you should be the right-most speaker. However, how much does Guanghui mobile phone occupy in the world's nearly 1 billion mobile phone sales every year? Not even a fraction of it! So at this time, what Guanghui mobile phone needs to do is to pull a group of partners who produce smart phones to grab the market of traditional mobile phone giants.

"I understand, although the potential of Guanghui mobile phone is unlimited, but the current production scale is good, the market influence is good, and the gap between these giants and Nokia is too big, and it is too much pressure and great difficulty to fight with so many giants on your own. Therefore, they will lower the threshold for emerging companies to enter the smartphone industry by opening up the Android system, and then cultivate a bunch of smartphone manufacturers in a short period of time to attack the city and conquer the land with them."

"You're right, in addition to the mobile phone operating system, all parts of the mobile phone can actually be purchased from the market, if you don't pay attention to compatibility, with the operating system, you can quickly develop a smart phone."

"It's a stroke of genius."

……

Nokia.

"There is a saying in the Celestial Empire: The grasshopper shakes the tree. Guanghui Mobile thought that the source code of the Android system was released to the public, attracting several new construction companies to make smart phones, and it would change the situation of the mobile phone industry, which was simply whimsical."

"Yes, I think they are wielding a knife to the palace, after opening up the source code of the operating system, it is equivalent to putting a bunch of competitors in to compete with themselves, and accidentally playing self-sufficiency."

"Haha~ That's interesting."

"Well, let's just sit back and watch their farce."

……

Apple.

"Korn Radiance has opened up the source code of their Gphone's operating system, are we going to follow suit?".

"Guanghui mobile phone has opened up the source code of Android?".

"Yes, and it is said to be free".

"They are killing themselves, and I wish that my competitors would enter the smartphone market later, but they hope that more competitors will enter this field."

"yes, I don't understand it at all."

……

A copycat mobile phone factory in Shenzhen.

"Boss, we don't have to break the Android system anymore."

"What's wrong? What's going on?".

"Guanghui mobile phone is free and open Android source code, we don't need to break it at all, just use the genuine one."

"And this kind of good thing? It's not April 1st, don't tease me."

"Boss, I don't lie to you, let's also go and register a company, so that we can go to Guanghui Mobile to discuss the source code of the Android system."

"With the genuine system, we are not a copycat."

"Yes, we can completely lock our eyes on the low-end market and preempt the group of users who can't afford to buy Gphone."

"Well, not only that, but we can also export our phones to economically underdeveloped countries like Southeast Asia and Africa. In those places, there should be a big market."

"Looks like our spring is coming".

……

The imperial capital of Shishahai Quadrangle.

"Jiang Hui, are you opening Android to all companies for free?" Bai Xue said.

"yes, that's a strategy I've been thinking about for a long time."

"Doesn't that give us a bunch of competitors?"

"No company in the Korn Ferry Group should be afraid of competition, and in this case, if Korn Ferry cannot do the emerging smartphone company, then there is no need for it to exist."

"If it's open, it's open, so it's good to collect some money, and it's not good to sell operating systems like Microsoft?".

"No, it is precisely because it is free that more companies will choose to give up developing their own operating systems, which will make Android the largest mobile operating system, and there will be the most developers to develop Android-based apps, which is very important."

"Well, what the victor says is always right!"
