[Chapter 291: Competition or Cooperation?] 】
"Google has set its way to the moon, when will our star tech companies aim beyond the earth?" -- NetEase Technology News.
With the umbrella company Alphabet announced that Google's XPRIZE moon landing program was officially launched this week, the news of human landing on the moon has once again become a hot topic.
The umbrella company Alphabet has made a lot of eyeballs with the help of the moon landing program.
Also as another representative of the tech giants, namely: XlouS company, it is inevitable that the two will be compared with each other. When Zuckerberg visited China, when he visited Matrix Technology, the company's founders broke the news about the preparations they were making, all indicating that they had set their sights on space.
Ren Hong even released a bold statement to "light up" the two largest gas planets in the solar system, which all show that Matrix Technology will inevitably set its sights on the vast outer space in the future. However, compared with Alphabet umbrella company, Matrix Technology XlouS suffered from its early establishment, and in the field of space exploration, compared with Google, which launched the lunar program 15 years ago, suffered a big loss in time, which is also an inevitable flaw.
However, people still have high hopes for XlouS, especially the domestic public and media, and recently Google's XPRIZE moon landing program, XlouS is regarded by the media as the most competitive member, perhaps not one of them.
For example, the day after Google announced the official launch of the XPRIZE moon landing program, an article in the British newspaper The Times said:
A new round of space arms race is about to begin, and unlike the space arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union in the post-war Cold War era, this time the space arms race is another form, and the "players" involved are no longer countries but companies, and the interesting thing is that the two most powerful companies are from the two strongest countries in the East and the West, which looks as if the United States and the Soviet Union fought for hegemony yesterday. At present, in the first stage, the American Alphabet took the lead, XlouS has not acted so far, and the first stage of Alphabet is temporarily in the advantageous stage......
As a frequent visitor to the cutting-edge technology field in the world today, matrix technology will inevitably be mentioned and compared.
……
Matrix Technologies, Headquarters.
“…… XlouS and Alphabet have a striking similarity, both started from Internet companies and started their careers, until the end of the vertical expansion of major businesses, both eventually went to the spin-off and reorganization, and now there is no conflict between the two businesses, but in the future, as the two sides have set foot in the field of cutting-edge technology, the two companies are very likely to become competitors......" Gao Yue muttered, and then said: "What do you think about this? I also feel that Alphabet could be our next strong competitor, which is worth noting. ”
"Who said that?" Ren Hong asked curiously.
"Wall Street." Gao Yue shrugged and responded. She thought about it, and Wall Street's analysis didn't seem wrong, and XlouS could really compete with Google's parent company in the future.
Ren Hong pondered for a while, and nodded slowly thoughtfully, "It's possible." ”
The media seems to be right, in today's world, in addition to Alphabet umbrella company, there seems to be no second "pure" non-governmental technology company that can compete with Matrix Technology in terms of technical reserves, company size, and company financial resources.
Apple's downfall was due to his over-reliance on the mobile phone business, which appears to be a world-class behemoth with hundreds of billions of dollars in cash reserves, but is in fact a foreign powerhouse.
Alphabet Umbrella is different, and the biggest feature is reflected in the founder Larry. Page's visionary vision, long before Google's reorganization, this company gave the outside world the impression that it had to burn billions of dollars every year to tinker with something useless, that is, the familiar GoogleX Labs and Plan X, the company invested a lot of money but never had any return, so to speak, it was entirely the advertising business of Google Search that supported the dollars burned by GoogleX Labs.
With the reorganization of Google in 2015, the new Google is the current Alphabet umbrella company, Google became a subsidiary of the parent company, after the reorganization of Google, it was found that Alphabet has more than 200 subsidiaries, involving all walks of life, especially the most representative driverless car field, artificial intelligence, etc.
Apple has apparently also discovered the company's fatal shortcomings. Cook obviously realized this, and began to expand Apple's business vertically, involving virtual reality VR, driverless cars and other fields, but Apple as a latecomer, woke up and found that it had fallen behind other companies, virtual reality VR made Facebook dominate, unmanned driving field, Alphabet is one of the leading industry leaders.
Apple's ambitions were hit one after another, until it faced defeat in the competition with XlouS, which directly led to the collapse of a hundreds of billions of dollars giant, although the current Apple is still a world-class giant, but it has never been able to erase his identity as a loser and currently nicknamed XlouS worker by the media.
Apple's examples and lessons highlight Larry even more. Page's remarkable vision, which was previously considered "not the right thing" by Google, has now become a pivotal business for Alphabet, giving the company's prospects enough imagination.
However, now Alphabet seems to be facing new pressure, both Wall Street and the media agree that XlouS will be very likely to become Alphabet's most threatening competitor in the future, which is why the outside world is extremely optimistic about this company, but Wall Street is generally interested in it, the most direct embodiment is that Alphabet's market value has not skyrocketed like Facebook, and has always maintained a situation that is not up and down, because they are worried about it, In the face of the tech giant Matrix Technology, many people are working for Alphabet and Larry. Paige pinched his sweat, XlouS's brilliant record and achievements made everyone look forward to it while not being optimistic about Alphabet. Page has proven his remarkable vision.
Ren Hong, who pondered for a long time, said: "Compared with competition, I believe that the possibility of cooperation will be greater. ”
Gao Yue was a little surprised by this answer, "What do you say?" ”
Ren Hong smiled: "For example, in the hottest field of driverless cars, we should not get involved." In this way, there will be no competition. But! ”
Ren Hong suddenly came to a big turn, he explained: "For example, no, it should be said that the company must do it. We are not directly involved in the field of driverless cars, but that does not mean that we are not involved in related fields. ”
