Chapter 467: iPhone is not the biggest threat, Android is!
In November 2oo9, the post-production of "The Four Famous Catches" went smoothly, and the release permit had been obtained in advance. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info +
However, for the sake of the quality of the movie, Wang Qinian and the post-production staff of the crew still watched every scene repeatedly, and they had to watch the movie over and over again ten or eight times almost every day. If there is a flaw in any area, start correcting it right away.
If post-production alone is not enough, the actors will be called in to reshoot the shots. The polishing of movie drug trafficking, many people describe that they are about to vomit when they watch movie shots.
But he still has to keep improving, Wang Qinian doesn't want this blockbuster with a budget of hundreds of millions of dollars to disappoint the audience and be criticized as a bad movie.
After the movie entered the finishing stage, Wang Qinian also began to have time to deal with some things of the group company. For example, this year's Double 11, as well as the next year's exhibition direction of the partner company.
"Unicom has lured wolves into the room, and Apple's iPhone has begun to enter China!" Li Lingxiang took a Unicom version of the iPhone and said, "The general manager of Unicom hooked up with Apple at the beginning of this year, negotiated for several months, and now has signed a contract, and the Unicom version of the iPhone is expected to be listed in China in the first half of next year!" ”
Because of the long-term confrontation with Apple, Li Lingxiang naturally knows the influence of Apple's iPhone. Before the iPhone got the network access license for the Chinese market, there were already many users who went overseas to buy parallel Apple iPhones, and at present, it is estimated that more than 100,000 iPhones have been smuggled into China through parallel import channels. At present, there are more than 1,000 parallel Apple mobile phones every day, which are carried to China through smuggling and handling channels.
If the iPhone officially enters China and is sold through regular channels, then the sales volume may not be underestimated!
"The entry of iPhone into China is estimated to be unavoidable!" Wang Qinian pondered and said, "The main thing is not the charm of Apple's Jobs, but the Unicom." For a long time, Unicom was suppressed by mobile. In the 2G era, the number of users cannot be compared with mobile. Therefore, after entering the 3G era, Unicom will definitely find a way to corner. Introduced the exclusive agency rights of Apple's iPhone in China. For a long time, only the Unicom version of the iPhone, relying on a star terminal, may not be able to dig up the old users who are used to the number of competitors, but it must have an advantage in attracting new users. If you can rely on one star, there are many. I can attract millions more users, and if I am the general manager of Unicom, I will also introduce this kind of star terminal! ”
There was a lot of talk in the audience.
"The key is that our country is not united, if there is internal unity, we will not introduce the terminal of overseas merit for the sake of addiction and small profits, and in another three and five years, the XOS camp has formed a monopoly advantage in China, and at that time, the introduction will not pose much threat to us!"
"This is unfair competition, and Apple can enter the Chinese market. But our Xphone is not yet available for sale in the US market. ”
Wang Qinian saw that everyone paid so much attention to Apple, but he thought of another more threatening opponent in his mind.
In fact, the real opponent of the partner company in the mobile market is not Apple, but Google.
Google's Android system has been tested for several years, and at the beginning Android was not a touch screen, and it did not receive attention from Google.
It wasn't until Apple's iPhone and its partner's Xphone came out that it gave Google a lot of inspiration, so Google didn't hesitate to borrow it. Since the official version 1.o of Android, it has been a touchscreen phone.
Of course, the current Android phone has not yet entered the market on a large scale, at the end of last year. Google authorized HT to make a marketed Android phone HTdream (also known as G1)!
htdream is supposed to be a freak, although it has adopted a touchscreen operating system, but there is no virtual keyboard software, so, htdream installs a full keyboard.
In hindsight, this design is really silly. In order to be able to enter text, a full keyboard was actually installed, which was a design that Jobs laughed at at the iPhone conference held in O7.
As a result, the world's first Android phone is ridiculously stupid, it is already a touch screen, and it actually has a keyboard.
This nondescript design is reminiscent of the Dopod mobile phone, which has been in decline. Dopod is a feature phone with a touch screen and a keyboard. This kind of design, before more mature products such as the iPhone come out, still have a certain market competitiveness.
But after the iPhone and Xphone came out, not only the traditional feature phones were impacted. Early touchscreen mobile phones such as Dopod have also been eliminated from the market because they are not very smart.
Last year's first Android world,The market response is very general,There is no cost-effective advantage,There is no experience advantage,Therefore,So far,Sales are only a few hundred thousand units,And,Sales are also declining。
And why did HT make such a freak, because, the previous HT also made a mobile phone for Microsoft, and the HTDOS 1E model is this design. To put it simply, it is to miniaturize the PC and make something nondescript that looks like both a PC and a mobile phone, and HTdream is just a design that follows a few years ago.
Google is naturally very dissatisfied with htdream, after all, this kind of thing is still not mature.
So, starting in April 2oo9, the Android system was updated and launched, codenamed Cupcake. This new operating system, compared to the previous version, has added a virtual keyboard, which means that there is no need to use that stupid hardware keyboard anymore.
In addition to this, Chinese Simplified Chinese language is also supported. From this point, it can be seen that Google's Android team has ambitions for the Chinese market.
Later, around 2O1O, this arrogant Google company had a conflict with the Chinese government, and tried to withdraw from the Chinese market as a threat, demanding that the Chinese government meet a series of demands. But...... The Chinese government says that it is your freedom to quit or not, but in the Chinese market, you must abide by Chinese law.
As a result, Google is trying to attract sympathy on the Internet and get online public opinion to force the Chinese government to back down. However, self-defeating, more Chinese Internet users ridiculed "if you don't quit is a puppy", so that Google was originally just shouting in its mouth, but it was difficult to ride the tiger by public opinion, and had to really withdraw from the Chinese market.
Of course, after Google withdrew, it still said that it only withdrew from traditional Internet businesses such as search engines and advertising, and the business of Android mobile phones will continue to stay in the Chinese market. Obviously, this is also a foreshadowing for a return to the Chinese market.
Soon after the version update, in just a few months, the system began to be updated with version 1.6 and even version 2.1.
Android, which has entered the 2X era, has attracted many mobile phone manufacturers to join. Motorola has even launched an Android phone, but the traditional mobile phone manufacturers are stubbornly touching about the design of the keyboard.
Motorola in O9 cloth of the fan 1estone,Obviously use the system,This system can already support the virtual keyboard function,But Motorola still uses a full keyboard design。 Add a keyboard to a touchscreen phone with a virtual keyboard function, what exactly did the designer think?
Canceling the keyboard is the wheel of history, and if you go with it, you will prosper, and if you go against it, you will die. Those mobile phone manufacturers who tried to add physical keyboards to touchscreen mobile phones ended up miserable.
And in January of O9, Google released version 2.2 codenamed Froyo (frozen yogurt) and version 2.3 codenamed Gingerbread (gingerbread).
Moreover, Google seems to have been stupidly hurt by the design of other mobile phone manufacturers, so it had to launch its own terminal neus?one!
It seems that neus?one products have been made and began to be listed in January 2o1O, and with the launch of neus?one, many mobile phone manufacturers in the Android camp have found the state and no longer engage in Android phones with keyboards.
Next, at the beginning of 2o1O, the Android camp began to sweep the world violently, including Samsung and other big-name manufacturers, who have joined the Android camp to produce Android mobile phones.
Google's Android system can successfully lay the ground, half of the credit must be Chinese mobile phone manufacturers. The other third is South Korea's Samsung. Samsung's later mobile phone shipments were the largest in the world, like opening a grocery store, countless Android phones. In addition, Samsung can make the screen, battery, and chip of the mobile phone itself, which is also the reason why the Android camp has countless small profits and losses, and Samsung can indeed make money. In fact, Samsung does not make money on mobile phones, but on hardware such as screens, batteries and chips, and he makes a lot of hardware himself, and selling mobile phones is equivalent to selling these self-produced hardware to consumers at a higher price. It is naturally more profitable to sell to consumers than to manufacturers.
Suppressing Samsung?
No!
Wang Qinian knew that he couldn't do it at all!
If you can't suppress it, you naturally have to win it over!
"No, we have to win over Samsung!" Wang Qinian suddenly said loudly.
All of a sudden, everyone looked at Wang Qinian in surprise! (To be continued.) )
