The future development trend of computers and mobile phones, as well as other personal digital devices, is all in Wenming's mind.

In fact, he has the technology to develop products that are popular all over the world and sought after by countless people.

But everything is difficult at the beginning, he is actually alone in this world, and he does not have any financial support, and he wants to start from scratch, but he has no idea when he will succeed.

Strategically, he completely despises established companies like Nokia, Microsoft, and Google, but tactically, he attaches great importance to them. Because of one carelessness, everything about him has the potential to become part of these companies.

After dreaming of the biographical movie "Steve Jobs", he learned about the tribulations that Apple went through, even the founder of Apple was able to be fired from Apple, and even a genius like Steve Jobs would almost suffer from depression because of being expelled, so what about him?

The knowledge he possesses is all dreamed of, and although it can be used, it is not obtained by his own efforts after all. What if he created the apples and was devoured by the big fish?

So, even if he hasn't started his business yet, he needs to make some preparations in advance. For example, poaching people from Microsoft.

Being able to become a senior engineer at Microsoft, Donus's technical strength is absolutely undoubted. Moreover, Donners is one of Wen Ming's life-saving benefactors, if there is a chance, Wen Ming is willing to give Donus a great fortune to repay this kindness.

In particular, Donus will become his 'enemy' and be killed by him.

Being a human being can not be a of the Virgin, but asking for one to be worthy of the heart.

"Bet?"

Donus became interested and asked, "What bet do you want to make with me?" ”

Wen Ming said confidently: "At present, the most popular system on the market is definitely Nokia's Symbian system, followed by the Android system developed by Google and many companies. Other than that, no other mobile phone system can be a competitor to the two. ”

In a previous life, Android was developed by an engineer named Andy, who used to work in Apple's mobile phone division. Later, he created his own company, but it closed down due to poor management.

It wasn't until 2005 that he developed the Android system, which was acquired and funded by Google, and the Open Handset Alliance, which was formed by Google and 84 hardware manufacturers, software developers and telecom operators, improved the Android system. The first Android smartphone, released in 2008.

(PS: So, Android itself is free, Google is just one of the developers, and he doesn't have the authority to charge hardware manufacturers who use Android.) Otherwise, Google's market capitalization would have exceeded a trillion dollars, and of course, if it were charged, it would not be possible for so many companies to use it. ）

In this world, except for the absence of Apple, the birth of Android is roughly the same as Wenming's previous life, because it is a free and easy-to-use smartphone system, so once it was launched, it was welcomed by many mobile phone manufacturers.

For other mobile phone companies that do not have the Symbian system, it is definitely a very advantageous thing to be able to compete with Nokia for the market with this system.

After hearing Wen Ming's words, Donus nodded in agreement, but he was not surprised by this, because this is a well-known thing.

Wen Ming continued: "The purpose of your company's plan to launch the Windows phone mobile phone system is nothing more than to occupy a share of the mobile phone system market. Although you can't look at the profits of the mobile game market, you will definitely not ignore the profits of the mobile phone system market. ”

Donus smiled and asked, "So, the bet you are talking about can't be related to the Windows phone system I'm working on, right?" ”

Wen Ming also laughed and said, "That's true, but my bet is a bit complicated. ”

Donus didn't speak, but continued to look at Wen Ming with a smile on his face, waiting for Wen Ming to say something complicated.

"I think that the Symbian system will eventually be completely eliminated, and if Nokia doesn't ask for change, it will definitely go out of business because of Android."

In Wenming's previous life, Nokia occupied the first place in the global mobile phone market share for 14 consecutive years since 1996, and was not surpassed by Apple and Samsung until 2011. You know, Apple has launched the iPhone 4 in 2010, which is called a changed mobile phone.

And there is no Apple in this world, and it is 2009 at this time, not long after the birth of the Android system, although it is popular, but the market share is not much. Nokia, at this time, is definitely the king of the mobile phone industry in this world.

Saying that Nokia will go out of business because of a nascent system is like saying that a glorious king uses his role as the first in the real national uniform, and a primary school student solo who also uses this role, not only loses, but also loses self-confidence and unloads the king pesticide.

If it is heard by other people, they will definitely think that Wen Ming is attracting people's attention.

But Wen Ming's words still didn't surprise Donners too much, as a developer of the WP system, he knew very well what the disadvantages of Nokia's Symbian system were. Moreover, he knows what Microsoft is doing with the WP mobile phone system and who will be the first mobile phone manufacturer to use it.

"Why?"

Wen Ming heard Donnas's question, and saw that Donnas didn't show the slightest expression of surprise, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

Why is this Donnas's IQ not at the NPC level? Normally, shouldn't it be an exaggerated reaction and a fierce rebuttal, and then be worshiped on the spot by your own analysis?

"The reason is that Nokia acquired Symbian, making Symbian an exclusive system for Nokia."

When Wen Ming said this reason, he also felt a little sorry for Nokia in his heart. The first Symbian mobile phone was launched by Ericsson in 2000, when the Symbian system was not a smartphone system, and the Symbian system was not unique to Nokia.

In 2006, there were more than 100 million mobile phones using the Symbian system in the world, and after Nokia wholly acquired Symbian in 2008, LG, Sony Ericsson and other manufacturers began to announce their withdrawal from the Symbian platform and switch to other mobile phone systems, which are actually Android.

Nokia's idea was good, because the Symbian system at that time was the equivalent of the Windows system of the computer world, and Nokia was the hardware manufacturer. This acquisition is likely to allow Nokia to monopolize the mobile phone market and become a presence that surpasses Microsoft.

In 2007, Microsoft's market capitalization was only $249.17 billion, compared to Nokia's $115.1 billion. If Nokia can monopolize the mobile phone market, it will definitely surpass an IT company like Microsoft that does not focus on hardware.

It's a pity that Nokia has pushed all its competitors to the Android phone system, and there is also the explosive rise of the Apple mobile phone. The most important thing is that after the Symbian system was acquired by Nokia, the experience of using the updated generation is getting worse and worse, and the technology cannot keep up with the times.

As a result, Nokia went from a market value of $100 billion in 2007 to a $7.1 billion acquisition by Microsoft in 2013.

A mistake in decision-making made a giant who had dominated the mobile phone industry for 14 years come to such an end.

Donnas's expression finally became a little serious after Wen Ming answered his reason, but he was still not too surprised. Because this argument has already been put forward.

However, no one is as confident as Wen Ming.

"Did you analyze it, or did you see a related analysis article on the Internet?" "If you just read a few online articles, or news reviews, it doesn't make that something to bet between us," Downers asked. ”

Wen Ming smiled and said, "I haven't finished talking yet, there is another content about betting, that is, the WP mobile phone system that your company is developing will not be the opponent of Android." ”
