CHAPTER 465 GSTORE
In 2006, most mobile phone companies still chose to build their own factories to produce their own mobile phones, but slowly, with the advent of the era of smart phones, more and more mobile phone brands handed over mobile phone assembly to foundries.
In the end, it is better to build a factory or build a factory, this is really not easy to say, it can only be said that these are two ways. In the future, among the world's major mobile phone manufacturers, Apple is all OEM, while Samsung is all self-made, Huawei is part of the self-made and part of the OEM, and the emerging VIVO and OPPO are all self-made. Jiang Hui prefers Huawei's part-foundry and part-self-made approach, so that no matter what happens, it can be flexible and responding. It's a compromise.
"THE PROTOTYPE OF GPHONE HAS COME OUT, AND IT IS LESS THAN A YEAR AWAY FROM MASS PRODUCTION, AND IT IS TIME TO DEVELOP VARIOUS APPLICATIONS FOR MOBILE PHONES. Lao Zhu, Liao Yun, you communicate with the companies under the group, let them prepare the plan to develop their own mobile apps, and convene a meeting with the senior management of each company after the year, and I will confirm whether everyone's plan is appropriate."
Compared with the current feature phones, the biggest difference between smart phones is that smart phones, like personal computers, have an independent operating system, and users can install software, games and other programs provided by third-party service providers, and continuously expand the functions of mobile phones through such programs, and can achieve wireless network access through mobile communication networks.
There are no real smartphones on the market at the moment, which means that there are no various installation software suitable for smartphones on the market. If the GPHONE was launched and it was just smooth and not used, then it would not be much different from ordinary feature phones. Therefore, Jiang Hui felt that he should start to lay out mobile APP applications.
In fact, the development of mobile APP is also simple, and the companies under the Korn Ferry Group have already involved the content of the main mobile phone software in the future.
There are Tudou networks for watching videos, Glorious Film and Television for playing games, YY live broadcasts for watching live broadcasts, communication and exchanges on campus intranet and Guanghui Weibo, a little bit of Chinese network, mobile payment for Guanghui Pay, group buying for Meituan.com, and Douban.com, Autohome, Qunar, etc., almost all commonly used mobile phone applications are involved. If there is one thing that is missing, it is the lack of an app and mobile browser to watch the news.
Jiang Hui, an app that watches news, plans to set up an independent company to develop it in the future, but in the early days, it can be placed under Guanghui Film and Television, at least there is no need to worry about entertainment news. After a year or two, when the time is right, they will operate independently and set up a company similar to Toutiao.
In terms of mobile browsers, Jiang Hui thought of the UC browser of later generations, which is the earliest and most successful company to do mobile browsers. Although it was only founded in 2004 and is still a very small company, it is a promising company.
Jiang Hui is ready to let Guanghui Investment come forward and spend tens of millions to acquire UC in its nascent state. Of course, it is not necessarily 100% acquired, and the founders are not necessarily willing. But at least to be able to reach the point of holding.
In addition, there is another product that is currently used by netizens, that is, Penguin and Du Niang. Both companies will have shares, and it shouldn't be difficult to push them to make a mobile version. Besides, this is also a win-win situation, Guanghui mobile phones have more options for use, and Penguin and Du Niang have also stepped into the promising wireless Internet industry early.
"Okay, I'm just going to report this to you. Our GPHONE uses such a good processor and memory, and has such a large screen, but there are really no applications to install at present, and there is no way to give full play to the advantages of GPHONE," Zhu Zhengfeng said.
"I had already basically conceived of this when I started the Glorious Mobile Phone project. First of all, Guanghui Mobile has to develop an application to download the application, that is, the APP store. SO THAT GPHONE USERS CAN DOWNLOAD A VARIETY OF APPLICATIONS ON IT", JIANG HUI SAID THE MOST MAINSTREAM WAY IN LATER GENERATIONS.
"APP?,Application?Mr. Jiang, your proposal is too good. Recently, I have been worrying about how to make up for this shortcoming of Guanghui mobile phone, but I didn't expect you to have already thought about it, and I am more confident in our GPHONE", Zhu Zhengfeng said with a smile.
"I'M GOING TO NAME OUR GPHONE APP STORE GSTORE, AND I HAVE A HUNCH THAT THIS IS A MARKET WITH UNLIMITED POTENTIAL."
"Since it's a mall, do you have to charge for selling things?", Wang Mengyu interjected.
"Children can be taught," Jiang Hui said with a smile.
"Mr. Jiang, if you want to say that a girl can be taught, I am an authentic girl", Wang Mengyu said with a small tongue.
"Okay, the widow can be taught. In China, at present, everyone is not used to paying for software, we can selectively arrange some APP for paid download, but most of them should still be free. However, in these markets in Europe and the United States, I plan to let most of the apps be downloaded and charged. However, companies need to be more careful when developing soft apps, not only developing the Chinese Simplified Chinese version, but at least developing the English version and the Japanese version simultaneously."
"CAN WE LET OTHER PEOPLE'S APPS ALSO BE SOLD ON THE GSTORE, AND THEN WE WILL TAKE A CUT?"
"Looks like I put you on the right phone. In the future, you can also look at the business of GSTORE together. The needs of each user are different, and there can be countless applications of APP, and it is impossible to develop so many application programs by ourselves alone, so it is inevitable to open the mall."
"Mr. Jiang, if the mall is opened, it will involve the problem of system interfaces, and we need to announce some of the interfaces to outside developers", said technology-related content, Zhu Zhengfeng is still very familiar with it.
"Yes, I am ready to announce the interface of our Android system to all developers, and share the source code for free with other mobile phone companies that are interested in smartphones."
"Ahh
"When we open the source code, it's not 100% open, and the source code of the kernel is definitely not open. Other manufacturers can see that the source code that can be used only refers to some content in terms of program development and system optimization."
"Even so, it's free, aren't we losing a lot?", the little girl really has the attitude of the protagonist, and it seems that she really regards the interests of the company as her core interests.
"Although it is said to be free, we do not provide this operating system for free, and mobile phone manufacturers need to sign an agreement with Korn Ferry if they need to use the Android system. This agreement can contain some restrictions, such as not being able to delete the Korn Ferry APP service on the Android system. Besides, even if it is simply exchanged for market share, Korn Glory Group is also a sure profit, because in the era of big data, sometimes you don't have to think about how to make money, and it is enough to have a market and traffic."
