Chapter 249 [The Giants Who Are Satisfied with the Status Quo]
According to reports, Google only spent $50 million on Android that year, and Luo Sheng knows the impact of Android on Google and the technology industry more than a decade later, Google's acquisition of Android may be one of the most important mergers and acquisitions in the history of Silicon Valley, this open-source operating system brings Google two to three billion dollars in horror advertising revenue every year.
failed to acquire Android, although Luo Sheng felt pity, but he did not dwell on it.
Because Android can't be acquired, Luo Sheng has already decided to take out some underlying designs from the AOS system by himself, and then re-optimize the magic to launch a new architecture of the open source operating system WOS system solution.
One hand is now leading the world for at least five years in the AOS closed-loop ecosystem, and the other hand is the open source ecosystem.
How to lose?
At this time, Qin Weimu tilted his head slightly and looked at Luo Sheng, and said thoughtfully: "The acquisition of Android from Google, including this peep at Sun, especially in November last year, Google led the Open Mobile Phone Alliance, and its ambition to take over the entire industrial chain has been exposed. ”
Hearing this, Luo Sheng couldn't help but smile dumbly, and also remembered the situation at the first developer conference.
Eric Schmidt was called enthusiastic at the Cte d'Azur developer conference, and he knew that the bad old man turned around and pushed Android out, and the Android company was acquired by Google in 2005, but it has not been taken seriously, and even benchmarked Nokia's Symbian system, until the Azure mobile phone was born, so that the development of Google's Android system rose to the company's strategic level.
As a result, there was the matter of leading the Open Mobile Phone Alliance, and the Google mobile phone operating platform was finally officially launched.
And, unexpectedly, the mighty Google did not give Android the option to go it alone like AOS on the Cte d'Azur, but rather an "Open Handset Alliance" of 34 companies.
Among the 34 companies are Google, Huaguo Mobile, Motorola, Intel, Qualcomm, Samsung, Telecom Italia, Telefónica, T-Mobile, Texas Instruments TI, Broadcom, HTC and other companies.
Some of the world's top chip manufacturers continue to promote a fully integrated mobile "software stack" that combines an operating system, middleware, user-friendly interfaces and application software, based on Google's Android platform.
Interestingly, Apple is not one of them, and Joe is now obsessed with the iPad tablet project, intending to change the world once again.
Apple's board of directors has repeatedly proposed to enter the smartphone market as soon as possible, but Joe's gang leader is a paranoid, geniuses are often paranoid, and they will not deny their mistakes, otherwise they are not geniuses, and the logic in the mind of geniuses treats the word error: how can it be wrong? Incredible, why am I wrong?
Obviously, Google's Android alliance was born to unabashedly benchmark the AOS ecosystem of the Cote d'Azur, the goal of the AOS system is not only to run on thousands of smartphones, the future strategic layout, but also into the TV, game consoles, wearables, car dashboards and other mobile terminal consumer electronics hardware.
Qin Weimu said: "At the beginning of this year, the first Android device launched the G1, but it failed. ”
Luo Sheng smiled: "I looked at the G1 Android device, which is an inferior imitation of AOS. ”
Qin Weimu said: "But I don't think Google can just admit defeat, and will definitely continue to develop the operating system quickly, and Sun may bring a lot of help if it can be merged into its command." ”
Luo Sheng nodded but quickly shook his head, and said lightly and happily: "I think between Larry Page and Larry Ellison, the latter may include Sun in the bag, Larry Ellison is also a genius who likes to go wild, and he is particularly shameless and very insidious, can you imagine that Ellison arranged for people to squat in the opponent's trash cans all day long in order to obtain the opponent's confidential information and then collect junk files for analysis?" I think Page may be a little overwhelmed right now, this person's path is not the wildest, only wilder. ”
Well?
Hearing this, Qin Weimu was puzzled, not paying attention to what Luo Sheng said about Ellison's black history, and immediately looked at him and said puzzledly: "You mean, Sun Company may eventually fall into the hands of Oracle Company?" ”
Luo Sheng didn't speak, but nodded to explain his prediction.
Qin Weimu was not too distracted by this matter, and instead said: "You have already proposed to build an open source ecosystem that is completely opposite to the AOS closed-loop ecosystem last year, so when will this plan be implemented?" Until now, it was still stuck in a plan, and it was not even a plan. ”
Luo Sheng thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "When the merger and acquisition of MySQL is completed, let Yao Jianhong catch up with the project and hand it over to Feng Yi to execute, he is grasping the ecosystem, and it will be released at the developer conference in 09, which is called the WOS system." ”
Two years is completely enough, the Côte d'Azur is not like 04 years when there was no foundation, Google dreams of getting the underlying design of AOS, but Android's competitor has not yet been born WOS can easily get the tilt of relevant resources.
Android has an advantage in starting early, but the open source system of the Cote d'Azur started late but has a high starting point, which is also an advantage, and it will eventually return to the hard power of fighting technology, which Luo Sheng is very confident in.
And the timing of the launch is also just right, 2010 is an important time node, if the change is not big, not surprisingly, including domestic smartphone brands such as small micro mobile phones will spring up at this time node.
Also in this year, it is not surprising that it is also the time when Google withdraws from China, and Luo Sheng from his previous life analysis reference, by 2010, the smartphone market is actually still the world of Nokia's Symbian system.
Not to mention at the moment, SymbianS60v3/v5 is the first and far ahead in market share, even in 2008, Nokia these traditional mobile phone giants are still intoxicated with the glory of the past, still unwilling to move their comfortable position, still clinging to the plastic keyboard.
Just this time, a few companies played with Google.
Because Azure mobile phones are currently in the market with annual sales of 1 billion, less than 1% of the market share, those traditions do not realize how fierce the wave of mobile Internet is, there are too many emerging companies rising because of it, and there are also too many enterprises declining because of it, and there is no shortage of behemoths like Nokia.
It really confirms the old saying, if you don't enter the coffin, you won't shed tears.
As for the current Android system, there is not even a single Bluestar Technology "Family Bucket" application, it is not that Luo Sheng does not allow it to be used, any mobile phone and any system can be used, because this represents the user base and ecosystem of Bluestar Technology Group.
It's just that Android doesn't even have a decent hardware device right now, let alone host its ecosystem, and neither HTC nor Samsung knows what they're doing right now.
For others, the arrival of the mobile Internet makes many people confused, but Luo Sheng is extremely clear about the future path, grasping the time node in 2010, and launching the WOS operating system in 2009, its ecology is exactly the same as the Android model, all playing open source operations.
Luo Sheng is full of confidence that domestic mobile phone brands will eventually rise, so as long as the domestic team is brought well, it will be able to fight with Android on a global scale in the open ecosystem.
Under Luo Sheng's blueprint, the future mobile phone operating system should be a situation of "one super and many strong", "one super" is the AOS system under the closed loop, which has always been far ahead of this area for more than five years, and "how strong" should be the WOS system, Google Android, Nokia Symbian, Apple iOS and so on based on the Linux operating system.
However, Apple has lost its outlet, and the luck of the iPhone has basically been drained by Luo Sheng, even if it launches iOS, it is destined to not be able to make waves, there is a prerequisite here, it depends on when the Qiao gang leader breaks through the south wall and does not look back.
In terms of closed-loop and open-source ecology, the Cte d'Azur grasps both hands, and both hands are hard.
At the same time, the open source ecosystem is divided into two camps, led by the Cote d'Azur based on the WOS system, and domestic brands such as Xiaomi mobile phone, OPPO, and vivo form a WOS ecosystem.
Of course, the premise is that Rebus will set up Xiaomi and vivo companies as scheduled like Luo Sheng's previous life, but even if there is no Xiaomi, there will definitely be rice and the like, which Luo Sheng doesn't have to worry about at all, because he plans to make Azure mobile phones to be low-end, but to focus on high-end areas, and it would be good to have an open-source WOS system in the low-end, and the profits here are not much, so let other domestic mobile phone manufacturers.
Here is Luo Sheng's confidence and mind, and he is also very clear that for a long time in the future, his opponent is not in China, but overseas, in Google.
Another big open source ecosystem is Google's Android-based ecosystem, not surprisingly, Android's early chief hitter may be HTC, and then Samsung came from behind, and HTC finally fell to death.
This is Luo Sheng's prediction of the future trend of the entire industry pattern, there is a high probability that it will go towards such a trend, and there is a great probability that the pulse of this era will beat like this, Luo Sheng firmly believes.
And grasp the pulse of the times, you can win the future.
Luo Sheng's ambition is to establish a pyramid-like structure in the global mobile phone industry, in the top echelon should be AOS closed-loop system, the carrier is the Azure series, the second echelon is WOS and Android, and the third echelon is classified as others, such as the old giants who have declined, just stay here and eat here and wait for death.
Such a structure will eventually subtly establish a consensus on consumption habits in the minds of consumers, the first choice for buying high-end machines is Azure mobile phones, the first choice for buying low-end machines is WOS or Android mobile phones, and buying plastic keyboard feature phones for yourself to look at it, it makes no difference which brand to buy, and the brand does not need to look at it, cheap and easy to use is the first choice.
