Chapter 733: A New Landscape for Smartphones
Just as the Korn Ferry Group was making great strides, I finally officially welcomed a new member in the smartphone industry.
"io's new V1 is shocking, giving you a different listening experience."
"A new member of the smartphone, giving you a new feeling".
"Gphone experience, 50% off price, new io v1, welcome experience".
"The new V1 officially landed in Jingxi Mall and a treasure network, welcome to buy".
……
For the sake of its new product, io can be regarded as using all his strength to promote it.
The appearance of V1 is similar to Gphone, but the union is slightly worse, and the system is the same Android system.
Moreover, in the io mall, which is equivalent to the function of Gstore, all software on Gphone is also compatible.
This is actually very important.
As a newcomer to the smartphone industry, if io launches its own system based on the Android system, resulting in APP incompatibility, it is actually very fatal.
The significance of the Gstore model is to provide a convenient and efficient software sales platform for third-party software providers, and to become an unprecedented enthusiasm for third-party software providers to participate in it, adapting to the needs of mobile phone users for personalized software, so that the mobile phone software industry has begun to enter a high-speed and benign development track.
It is Guanghui Mobile that sublimates such a business behavior of Gstore to a business model that people can emulate, and the Gstore of Guanghui Mobile has created a new chapter in the development of the mobile phone software industry, which will undoubtedly become an important milestone in the history of the development of the mobile phone software industry.
This is the most popular feature of smartphones that distinguishes them from traditional feature phones.
Gstore's industrial chain is simple and clear, involving three entities, namely Guanghui mobile phones, developers, users, and third-party payment companies, but only as a charging channel, not a major participant in the industrial chain.
Gstore has established a win-win business model for users, developers, and Guanghui Mobile, and their respective roles and responsibilities in the industry chain are as follows.
Guanghui Mobile: Master the development and management of Gstore, and is the main controller of the platform.
Its main responsibilities include four points: one is to provide the platform and development kit, the second is to be responsible for the marketing of the app, and the third is to be responsible for charging and paying monthly bills to developers.
In addition, Guanghui often discloses some data analysis materials to help developers understand the latest needs of users, and provides guiding opinions to guide developers to price, adjust or free applications.
Developer: The uploader of the application. Its main responsibilities include three points: one is responsible for the development of applications, and the other is to independently operate its own products or applications on the platform, such as free pricing or independent price adjustment.
User: The user of the application. Users only need to sign up to log in to Gstore and bundle their credit cards to download the app.
Gstore provides users with more utilities, a good user experience, and a convenient purchase process.
There are ready-made good things, and io is naturally directly taken and used.
……
"Mr. Jiang, there is a large amount of content in the smartphone v1 of io company that is suspected of imitating and infringing Gphone's patents, should we let the legal department negotiate with them?".
As the deputy general manager of Guanghui Mobile, Dai Fuqian learned about the latest product information of V1 as soon as possible, and immediately arranged technical personnel to conduct comparative analysis.
V1 is the first Gphone competitor in the Celestial Empire market, although it is not yet a rival to Gphone, but Dai Fuqian, who is overwhelmed by the heights, still attaches full importance to this entrant.
"Xiao Dai, in the next two years, our biggest opponent is still Nokia, in two or three years, maybe Samsung and Apple will also become our opponents, but no matter now and in the future, local manufacturers such as io will not be our real opponents," Jiang Hui said.
Although the appearance of v1 will definitely have a more or less impact on Gphone, considering the difference in pricing between the two, Jiang Hui believes that the appearance of v1 will have more advantages than disadvantages for Guanghui mobile phones.
At present, the smartphone market of the Celestial Empire is a glorious mobile phone that is fighting alone, even in the United States, there is only one more Apple company.
Compared with the traditional mobile phone giants, the influence of smart phones is still too weak, and Jiang Hui desperately hopes that this industry will flourish as soon as possible.
The advent of the smartphone era will bring a lot of new opportunities, and many future unicorn companies will be based on the smartphone platform.
"Mr. Jiang, if these companies are allowed to infringe, I am worried that a large number of other companies will soon pour in, and then it may become a public outrage," Dai Fuqian said.
"I think Nokia and Motorola should be more anxious than we should be if this situation happens," Jiang Hui said with a smile.
"That's right, but it's strange that Nokia doesn't seem to care at all about new entrants like IO," Dai said.
"It's normal, but although they pretend to be indifferent on the surface, I think their headquarters should also have corresponding measures to deal with the new situation of smartphones, as for whether these measures are effective, history will tell," Jiang Hui said with a smile.
"Mr. Jiang, I think the research and development speed of our Gphone2 should be accelerated, otherwise the advantages of Gphone will become weaker and weaker," Dai Fuqian said.
The smartphone industry is an industry that is updated very quickly, according to the experience of later generations, generally a product needs to be replaced about a year after it is launched, otherwise all aspects of the function will be surpassed by competitors.
Correspondingly, companies are developing new products at a much faster pace.
In the past, the speed at which a product was developed in one or two years was completely unable to meet the needs of the times.
"Well, you and Mr. Zhu should discuss that we will promote the development of Gphone2 with the goal of launching the Guanghui mobile phone at the 2008 Global Developers Conference during the Mid-Autumn Festival next year and launching it globally in about a week," Jiang Hui said.
After two global developer conferences, Guanghui Mobile has slowly formed its own product release rhythm.
The Gphone is updated every year, with a new Gpad being launched every year, which is basically a foreseeable trend in the next few years.
"Okay, Mr. Jiang, according to the estimation of our marketing department, the sales volume of Gphone2 is expected to reach two to three times the current one, in order to allow us to sell when we go on the market, we will develop the production line synchronously with Futukang at the time of development to ensure the timely supply of products," Dai Fuqian said.
"No problem, you can control the details," Jiang Hui said.
After two or three years of running-in, the management team and development team of Guanghui Mobile have become more and more mature, and Jiang Hui has no need to do everything in addition to grasping the general direction.
