Chapter 989: Purchase iPod technology

"Mr. Lope, I don't know what you mean by Nokia?"

Nokia's CEO is called Lopu, although Zhang Ning has not entered the field of mobile phones for the time being, but how can Zhang Ning not pay attention to the leader in mobile phones. Moreover, Zhang Ning has always been wary of Nokia. If nothing else, it's because Nokia is just too big. They have their own mobile phone brand, they have their own mobile phone operating system, and they have launched smartphones as well. Suffice it to say, they have the biggest advantage if they are going to enter the real smartphone space.

Although Zhang Ning knew that according to the situation in later generations, it was impossible for Nokia to enter the touch field so quickly. But, who knows. The reality is also because of Zhang Ning's appearance, which is more and more different from later generations. In particular, as Zhang Ning's influence has grown, the course of later generations has slowly changed.

Who knows if the current Nokia will be influenced by itself and go all out into the field of smartphones.

"Our collaboration is simple."

Loop didn't say much, just took out a plan and said slowly, "If we can, we at Nokia hope to reach a cooperation with Penguin in mobile phones." As for how to cooperate with specific mobile phones, we can discuss again. ”

"Oh, understood."

Zhang Ning took over Nokia's cooperation plan, looked at it for a while, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from this cooperation plan, Nokia is still not too interested in touch, as in later generations.

The focus of their cooperation is still on the Symbian operating system platform.

In other words, the current Nokia just wants to add more features to Nokia phones.

Still, think about it.

In this world, who knows the big outbreak of smartphones in the future?

Even if the Meizu generation is performing well now, Nokia does not dare to think that the future is the world of the Meizu generation.

In other words, the future is the world that touches the market.

Moreover, Nokia has its own series of technologies, just like operations, how can they give up their most mature and most extensive market share because of the emergence of the Meizu generation.

Putting the plan aside, Zhang Ning still did not say it.

He looked at Steve Jobs, the last representative of the Microsoft Alliance.

"Mr. Jobs, I don't know, do you think about a good son?"

Looking at Jobs in front of him, Zhang Ning was full of emotion.

Regardless of Jobs' character, he is still the king of smartphones for later generations.

Without him, there would be no mobile Internet era in later generations.

Or there is, but I am afraid that the era of mobile Internet in the future will be postponed by several decades.

It's just, it's a pity.

Without the introduction of smartphones, Jobs did not have a good time.

With the development of computer technology, Apple has lost its position as the leader in the computer market. Even if Jobs returns, it will not change this status quo. As for Apple's latest product, iPod, although it has also performed well before, it is also only a niche product. And, most importantly, the current iPod has been seriously threatened by the Meizu generation.

Not in three years, no, two years.

Zhang Ning believes that not many people in the world will still buy an iPod.

"Zhang Ning, I've already thought about it."

It seemed like a heavy decision, Jobs said slowly but firmly.

"I don't know if you're interested in our iPod."

"iPod, what do you say?"

Zhang Ning asked a little strangely.

"Hehe, it's simple. Zhang Ning, your Meizu generation is very good. But, as you have just said. In fact, there are still many improvements in your Meizu generation. Whether it's hardware technology or software technology. Just like the music function of your Meizu generation, although I haven't personally experienced this function. But I believe that the sound quality of the Meizu generation is definitely not comparable to that of the iPod. ”

"Indeed."

Zhang Ning did not deny it, "In terms of sound quality alone, the Meizu generation is indeed far inferior to iPod." ”

Penguin itself does not make hardware, although Meizu's Huang Zhang has also made mp3 for a few years. But in the final analysis, Meizu MP3 started with copycat MP3, and its own technical content is not high. The reason why it sells well is that Meizu MP3 adopts other modes of operation. In terms of sound quality alone, the sound quality of Meizu MP3 cannot be compared with that of iPod.

"Zhang Ning, you are very honest, thank you for your honesty."

Jobs said something inexplicable.

Just when Zhang Ning pondered the meaning of Jobs's words, Jobs's next sentence shocked Zhang Ning all of a sudden.

"I think if the Meizu generation can get the iPod technology, I think the Meizu generation will become perfect."

This sentence not only shocked Zhang Ning, but also shocked everyone at the scene.

What is Jobs doing?

He's going to sell his iPod?

Damn, isn't this guy crazy?

The iPod is currently Apple's most important product, and over the years, Apple has also relied on the iPod to survive.

Without the iPod, people really can't believe that Apple would not go bankrupt.

Yes, friends who know Apple, how can they not know the current situation of Apple.

Apple is no longer the same apple it used to be.

Apple is no longer the leader of the computer brand.

Although, the Apple computer is still very good.

However, being good and not making money are two different things.

Moreover, although Steve Jobs has returned in recent years, he has injected vitality into Apple, and Apple has also seen more innovative products. It's a pity that Apple spends a lot of money on research and development every year, but it has never produced a killer product. If even the iPod had been sold to someone else at this time, people couldn't believe that Apple would really be finished.

"Jobs, what are you thinking?"

Paige on the side was also shocked.

Of course, he was not shocked that Jobs was ready to sell his iPod.

He doesn't care if the apple is alive or dead.

Whether Apple lives or dies has nothing to do with them Google.

Anyway, he also wished that Jobs would be finished quickly. I don't like this guy who is extremely high and thinks he is the best in the world.

He was shocked that this guy hadn't said he was going to sell his iPod.

According to the previous agreement, although Jobs will use the iPod to cooperate with Penguin, such cooperation does not involve technology.

"Jobs, calm down."

Bill, who was on the side, also sensed the seriousness of the matter.

This is a bit beyond what was previously agreed.

As discussed before, everyone will work with Penguin. However, this is only to delay the penguins, and at the same time, when it comes to key technical aspects, they will not be shared with the penguins. But what did this Jobs think. Even his most critical iPod technology is ready to be sold, is this guy's brain in water?

Bill, who was a little disrupted, looked a little angry and glared at Jobs.

It's just that Jobs didn't pay attention to Bill, and he only had Zhang Ning in his eyes.

"Zhang Ning, what's the matter, not interested in our iPod?"

Seeing that Zhang Ning didn't speak, Jobs asked.

"Interested, of course interested."

After thinking about it in his heart, Zhang Ning never thought that Jobs would come out with an iPod to cooperate with him.

This is Apple's key technology.

Of course, this is also very helpful to the Meizu generation. Although the Meizu generation is not a Walkman, the sound quality of the Meizu generation is poor, and users can accept it. However, it is necessary to build the Meizu generation into a boutique. In order to build the future smartphone into a high-end smartphone brand, not only the music function, but all the functions in it must also become the world's top.

It's just that it's not easy to become the world's best.

A lot of hardware and software technologies are in the hands of European and American people, CPU, screen, battery, even if it is a small music function, Zhang Ning does not have much to improve them. Of course, Zhang Ning also thought about cooperating with major IT giants, but they would cooperate, but the technology would not be revealed at all.

Now, like Sony, they also have key MP3 technology, but it's impossible for them to sell it to penguins, or share it with penguins.

Unexpectedly, no one would cooperate with each other, but Jobs did.

It's just that, after thinking about it, Zhang Ning seems to have some understanding.

"Jobs, I admire you, you may have made the most correct choice."

Zhang Ning looked at Jobs and said with appreciation.

MP3, since his birth, he has been a niche product.

Perhaps, before that, such a niche product sold very well.

However, no matter how popular he sells, he can't sell as hot as a computer.

Moreover, MP3 also has a congenital defect, which is easily compatible with other products.

Just like the Meizu generation, he is not mp3, but he has the function of mp3.

Actually, it's not just the Meizu generation.

Before the Meizu generation, the MP3 function of countless mobile phones on the market has increasingly threatened the survival of MP3.

Perhaps, many mobile phones nowadays, including high-end mobile phone brands MP3 are not very good and cannot be compared with MP3. However, there is always a time when MP3 technology is saturated, and there is always a time when the sound quality of MP3 cannot be improved. At that time, the music function of mobile phones will gradually catch up with the footsteps of MP3 technology.

When that day comes, it's the day the MP3 disappears.

This is also the reason why after the rise of smartphones in later generations, MP3 has almost disappeared.

Because, there is really no reason for people to buy mp3 just because they want to listen to music, they have a better choice, why not buy a smartphone. Not only can he listen to music, but he can also make phone calls and surf the Internet.

"Okay, Jobs, I agreed to this cooperation of yours, and we will discuss the specific details at a time."

There is no second word, for such cooperation, Zhang Ning directly agreed.

Although, Zhang Ning knows that buying iPod technology can be regarded as helping Apple.

At the very least, Zhang Ning can give Jobs a huge sum of money.

This huge amount of money, with the genius of Jobs, may not be impossible to make a comeback.

But being able to take over the iPod technology is also a huge addition to Penguin.

It's just that Zhang Ning is a little strange, it seems that the Microsoft alliance in front of him does not seem to be solid.

Zhang Ning's guess was correct.

After Zhang Ning agreed to Jobs, Bill walked up to Jobs with some anger.

"Jobs, what do you want to do, do you want to kill us?"

"Bill, put away your angry face, did you hurt us less apples back then?"

"Jobs, don't dig through the old accounts, it was before, and it is now. You should know what our alliance is for. It's good that you don't want to suppress the penguins, you actually did Zhang Ning a big favor. Are you crazy, if you do this, we may all be killed by you. ”

"I don't know if the Apple will kill you, but, Bill, I want to say that if I don't, then we Apple, will definitely die before you. All I can say is sorry if my actions have hurt you in any way. Well, I know, you guys probably won't trust me anymore. So, I'll go first. ”

Since Zhang Ning agreed to cooperate, Jobs was not worried about Zhang Ning regretting it.

After talking to Bill, Jobs left early.

"You ......"

Bill was blown up by Jobs.

Zhang Ning, who was on the side, snickered in his heart.

Although, Zhang Ning didn't hear what Bill and Jobs were selling there.

But seeing Jobs leave the field early, Zhang Ning also knew that they must have collapsed.

Haha, haha.

Zhang Ning laughed.

Bill, you should have known.

Your so-called Microsoft alliance is nothing more than an alliance of interests.

If your interests go wrong, then this alliance doesn't mean anything to us penguins.

"Bill, Jobs is such a person, and you don't have to be angry with him."

Zhang Ning started a round and said with a smile.

"I'm sure you also know that in the previous cooperation with Apple, Jobs also cheated us penguins. Mr. Bill, I hope you'll have a lot of embankments. Those who seem to be staunch allies, maybe, when, they bite you in the back, you don't know yet. ”

While smiling, Zhang Ning also looked at the people at the Microsoft Alliance scene.

This translation obviously means something.

However, Bill was not fooled, took a deep breath, and said, "Zhang Ning Xiaoyou, your discord meter is useless to us, let's put away your small meter." ”

"I'm ashamed, Mr. Bill, you're right."

Zhang Ning pretended to be sorry and said.

"Okay, Zhang Ning, you're welcome, let's continue the topic just now. Jobs's cooperation, you agreed on the spot. So, what about some of the other collaborations? ”

"Anything else."

Here comes the point.

Zhang Ning paused, frowned and said, "There is too much cooperation at once, and some people can't pay attention." Well, Mr. Bill, I will have a meeting at the company in a moment and discuss it in detail. ”

"Of course it is okay to discuss, so much cooperation, it must be discussed. It's just that we want to know, Mr. Zhang Ning, how long will it take for us to receive your answer. If it's too long, Zhang Ning, maybe you don't understand. Before coming, several companies have already said that they will also start plans for smart machines. You also know that with the capabilities of these companies, I am afraid it will not be long before a smart phone that is exactly the same as the Meizu generation will appear. ”

"Bill, are you trying to threaten me too?"

"Zhang Ning Xiaoyou, don't get me wrong, I'm just telling the truth, of course, if you can cooperate, it is still based on the premise of cooperation. If there is a risk, everyone will bear it together, and if there is money, everyone will earn it together, right? ”

"Good, good."

Zhang Ning sneered.

He had long known that Bill had called so many companies over, and he really meant to threaten himself.

It's just that Zhang Ning has never been afraid of these threats.

"Since Mr. Bill wants an answer, I will answer you now."
