It was not only Baptiste who came, but there was also an old man beside him, but the old man's complexion did not seem to be very good, and after being introduced, he learned that this old man was Baptiste's uncle, Mr. Coro.

Sir Charles and Mr. Corot are also old friends, and they inevitably have a few cold words after meeting, but after talking a few words with Sir Charlie, Mr. Corot expressed his intention to talk to Zhou Liwen alone, Sir Charles smiled and nodded, and then said hello to an old friend in the distance, and walked over with a wine glass in his hand.

"BAVC, it's what we're talking about in the afternoon, can you find a place to talk about it?" Baptiste whispered to Zhou Liwen, and at the same time looked at Lin Yaxuan, showing an apologetic smile at her.

Zhou Liwen nodded, explained to Lin Yaxuan, saying that he would come when he went, and then left the venue with Baptiste's uncle and nephew and went to the lounge on the side

This lounge should have been arranged in advance by Baptiste, and there were no outsiders inside when they entered. The three of them sat down on the sofa separately, and Mr. Corot first nodded slightly to Zhou Liwen, and then spoke.

"Mr. Zhou, Baptiste has already told me about the Bell-Nokia joint company cooperation, and I understand the reason why Mr. Zhou is doing this, but I want to ask a few questions, can I?"

"Absolutely." Zhou Liwen smiled and raised his hand to signal the other party to ask.

"First, if Siemens and Bell-Nokia Combine start a mobile phone business, that is, a cooperation in smartphones, what support will the other side provide to Siemens?" ”

"Operating Systems and Application Software Platforms." Zhou Liwen seemed to have known the content of the other party's inquiry, and he replied as soon as Coro's voice fell.

Corot was not surprised, but continued to look at Zhou Liwen intently, as if he wanted to listen to his detailed explanation.

Zhou Liwen said calmly: "Siemens, as a world-renowned company, including a good brand in the previous 2 mobile phones, should be no stranger to Siemens Group's understanding of the mobile phone market, right?" ”

"Of course." This sentence was not spoken by Corot, but Baptiste on the side. What's more, although Siemens mobile phones have been withdrawn from the market, the framework of the mobile phone department within the Siemens Group is still there, even if it is an empty shelf, but the collection and analysis of market data is still ongoing.

"That being the case, then you should be aware of the difference between a smartphone and a regular 2 phone. Just like a personal computer, in the case of hardware configuration, there must be excellent software to form a perfect computer. Hardware and software are indispensable, with the strength of Siemens, coupled with your own chip factory technology, it is not a problem to make excellent hardware, but even if the hardware is combined into a mobile phone, it is still not a real smartphone. Just like Nokia before, we all know that Nokia's mobile phones are the best among all mobile phones in terms of craftsmanship and hardware quality and reliability, to put it mildly, if only compared with hardware, or in some aspects is not as perfect as Nokia, but it is such a product, Nokia almost fell in the trend of smart phones, so what is the reason? If we look at the success of Nokia's new smartphones, it should be easy to judge the problems of Nokia before. ”

"Is it software, i.e. operating system support?" Mr. Corot said softly.

"That's right," Zhou Liwen said categorically: "It is this, and it is precisely because of this that it led to the collapse of the Nokia Empire." In fact, the failure of your previous mobile phone market at Siemens also has such drawbacks. ”

Nodding slightly, Mr. Corot agreed with Zhou Liwen's opinion. As the market fiasco of Siemens' mobile phone division in the past, Siemens has also put forward this point of view internally, but because of some deep-rooted ways of thinking, just like Nokia at the beginning, a large part of Siemens' senior management does not agree, and they always feel that this is not a decisive factor. And now, Nokia's sudden resurgence after a change in the new Symbian system proves that the operating system and application software are the determining factors for smartphones, if not this problem, then what can be used to explain this change?

"According to Mr. Zhou, can it be understood that Bell-Nokia Consortium will provide Siemens with software support for the new Symbian system and application software platform sharing?"

"That's right"

Corot smiled and said: "In this case, there is not only one mobile phone operating system in the world, I remember that many smartphone manufacturers now use the Android system, right?" ”

"That's right, there are three mainstream systems in the market at present, and the operating systems of these three smartphones occupy 95 of the smartphone operating system, and the remaining 0 is using Microsoft's mobile phone operating system, but I think everyone knows what the effect is." Zhou Liwen replied very frankly. But there was something he hadn't said in his words, but neither Mr. Corot nor Baptiste knew it in their hearts. Of these three operating systems, Zhou Liwen has actually mastered two of them, and only Android is in the hands of Google.

But compared with the Android system, Zhou Liwen's two major smartphone operating systems are much stronger in terms of stability, operability and reliability, etc., at present, more and more smartphone manufacturers have joined the ranks of the operating systems mastered by Zhou Liwen, and almost half of the major mobile phone giants are Zhou Liwen's allies, which is his biggest advantage.

What's more, if a large company like Siemens wants to restart its mobile phone business, it must choose a successful solution with the least risk and the most reliable. Instead of choosing the Android system, which often has system instability, it is not to choose the two major operating systems that Zhou Liwen masters. What's more, although the owner of the new Symbian system is Zhou Liwen, on the surface it has European origin, as a European multinational company, choose a smartphone operating system with European origin, which is also of great benefit to the promotion of the entire European market, and at the same time it is easy to be approved within the board of directors of Siemens.

In addition, even if the Android system is used, Siemens still has to negotiate licensing with Google, and Siemens also needs to pay a certain price for Google's behavior in the business world. Rather than getting the license for the new Symbian operating system, it's simpler.

"So the second point, in what way does the Bell-Nokia joint company license Siemens? In other words, what does Mr. Zhou want from Siemens? "There was no response to the final outcome of the first question, and Mr. Corot continued with his second question.
