The 173rd is worth looking forward to

The iPhone ushered in a new era of smartphones.

In the face of Jobs' release of the iPhone, Wei Dongsheng had mixed emotions.

At the beginning of Wei Dongsheng's rebirth with 30 years of memory, he searched for online information and was surprised to find that Stephen Jobs (Steve_Jobs) who appeared out of nowhere became the founder and head of Apple. The Apple company led by Jobs and the Apple company in the previous life have similarities and differences.

For example, the iPhone series products.

In the past, Apple released the first iPhone in the third quarter of 2008, and now Apple led by Steve Jobs released the iPhone in January 2007.

Wei Dongsheng feels that this should not be the butterfly effect caused by Zhiyu Technology. If it is the butterfly effect caused by Zhiyu Technology, Jobs should learn from some of the configurations of the capacitive screen smartphone Sapientia_3G that Zhiyu Technology is preparing, rather than the rough one shown at the Macorld 2007 conference. The first iPhone, which was very different from Apple's two lifetimes, was more like the details brought about by the very different leadership styles of Steve Jobs and the previous Apple leaders.

The iPhone launched by Jobs was quite rough in Wei Dongsheng's eyes. In terms of hardware, the iPhone is a 2G mobile phone, and the wireless data supports IFI, EDGE, Bluetooth 2.0, etc., and in terms of software, Apple has not released an application development kit for the iPhone, which means that third-party app developers cannot provide colorful APP applications for the iPhone.

In the previous life, the first iPhone launched by Apple not only supported 3G, but also had an open Appstore.

It is rumored that in order to make the first iPhone smarter and more subversive, the head of Apple eliminated many versions of iPhone samples, and it was not released until the Appstore function matured. Wei Dongsheng used computer intelligence to monitor Apple internally, and ordered the business intelligence system to track the iPhone project externally. Knowing that the iPhone supports EDGE in the 2G category instead of the 3G standard, Wei Dongsheng naturally misunderstood that Jobs might also cut this version of the iPhone, and delayed it for another year to get out of the iPhone_3G. How to think, Jobs didn't even cut the 2G version of the iPhone, and regarded it as the first mobile phone launched by Apple.

Jobs's tolerance towards products caught Wei Dongsheng off guard.

Steve Jobs has only released the iPhone, and the iPhone will not be available until the middle of the year at the earliest. Despite this, the iPhone has also seriously affected the rhythm of Zhiyu Technology, because the Sapientia_3G that Zhiyu Technology is preparing to launch was originally scheduled for mid-September 2007.

It's actually a good thing to let Apple be the first to release the iPhone. The turnover of Zhiyu Group in 2006 was 36.78 billion yuan, which is the sum of the various businesses of Zhiyu Information Industry, Zhiyu Integrated Circuit, Zhiyu Technology, Zhiyu Telecom and other series of companies. Apple, on the other hand, had $6.75 billion in revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Compared with Apple, Zhiyu Technology is small, has shallow qualifications, and has a weak reputation, and it takes ten times more effort and promotion to reach Apple's shouting at the Macorld2007 conference. Apple has heated up the smartphone market, and Zhiyu Technology has expanded its share by virtue of its quality advantage, which seems to be a rational decision to maximize profits.

However, this road does not work.

The closed industrial chain is self-produced and sold, which is the basis for the survival of the Leader series chips produced by Zhiyu Integrated Circuit Design Company and the mobile phone business of Zhiyu Technology; Similarly, this is also the defect of Zhiyu Technology to the world.

If given a choice, Wei Dongsheng actually wants to engage in an open-source operating system similar to Android. But the cruel reality is that if you launch an open-source operating system, other companies may not be willing to cooperate with you, and the market may not accept you.

In order to bring the Android operating system to the market, Google has joined forces with the world's top mobile phone manufacturers, software developers, telecom operators, chip manufacturers, etc. to form the Open Handheld Device Alliance (Open_Handset_Alliance). The initial members not only include international giants such as Intel, Qualcomm, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung Electronics, HTC, LG, etc., but also telecom operators in Germany, Japan, Spain and other countries, and even Huaguo Mobile, the telecom operator in China, is also an initial member of the Open Handheld Device Alliance.

Wei Dongsheng doesn't have such prestige at the moment.

It is far more difficult for the market to accept your mobile operating system than it is to launch a mobile operating system.

The promotion of mobile phone operating systems is also a process of ecological construction. Ecological construction is not only about technology. The experience of the mobile phone operating system is not something that can be bypassed by a sentence of high technology. For example, the home button setting of the iPhone series and the back, home, and sensitive virtual key settings of the Android series, the user experience of two different operation modes, who can say who has high technology content? Whether users prefer the former or the latter is more a matter of habit.

The topic returns to the mobile operating system.

Samsung has also launched its own mobile phone operating system bada, and also set up an open application software store like Apple, but in just two years, Samsung took the initiative to strangle the bada operating system and fully turned to the arms of the Android operating system. If you don't have the ability to gather a group of partners such as mobile phone manufacturers, software developers, telecom operators, chip manufacturers, etc., you don't even want to accept your operating system in the market, whether it's open source or not.

If open source can continue the life of the bada operating system, Samsung will not take the initiative to suspend the development of the bada operating system.

If Zhiyu Technology wants to survive in the package of Apple's iOS operating system and Google's Android open source operating system, it must take advantage of the first-mover advantage as much as possible. Use Google to improve the response time of the Android operating system, quickly seize the market, and establish brand effect; Taking advantage of the blank time that Apple has not yet launched the Appstore, it gathers a group of third-party app software developers in advance with the commercial profits of the app store. In order to achieve such a goal, the Sapientia_3G produced by Zhiyu Technology must be listed in advance.

Sapientia_3G was advanced from at least September 2007 to May or April 2007, replacing Apple's iPhone as the world's first multi-touch capacitive screen smartphone.

It's not impossible to achieve such a goal. First of all, in order to fight against the endless patent lawsuits, Zhiyu Technology has quietly registered a large number of patents to counteract. Many patents, including the appearance patents of the iPhone and future series, are also sandwiched in a pile of junk patents, and have been approved by European and American countries. If Zhiyu Technology sues Apple at the right time, and then delays time under the pretext of negotiating patent licensing fees with it, it may not disrupt the rhythm of the iPhone.

Of course, striking iron needs its own hardness, and the key question is whether Sapientia_3G can speed up from September to April.

Wei Dongsheng hurriedly returned to Panyang City after finishing the overseas layout of the three caves of the cunning rabbit, just to coordinate with companies such as Chunqiu, Zhiyu, Zhuwei, and Quantum Rose, and do his best to speed up the progress of the Sapientia_3G. For Apple, the iPhone may just be a new growth point for the mobile phone business. For Wei Dongsheng, the smartphone business is not only the key to Zhiyu Technology's bigger and stronger, but also the core driving force for the development of software and hardware, making the computer intelligent life hidden in the shadows more and more applicable.

In addition, although online games are still profitable, the profits produced by them are gradually unable to meet the growing capital consumption of Wei Dong's production industry; If the smartphone business can be done, the excess profits generated by it may replace online games as the new cash cow.

Wei Dongsheng attaches as much importance to Sapientia_3G as he did to "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms".

The passenger plane arrived at Xiangshan Airport on time.

Wei Dongsheng and Zhou Jiachun had no desire to communicate deeply with each other, nodded and smiled politely, and then parted ways. However, the geese have left a voice, the people have left their names, and the backs of Wei Dongsheng and Zhou Jiachun have also left a conversation point for fellow passengers.

For example, Yu Leilong and his girlfriend Bao Ying.

Yu Leilong was born in Tianzhong County, Panyang City, and when he graduated in 2004, Panyang City was still a dilapidated fifth-tier city without Wei Dongsheng's nesting. Yu Leilong first went to Guangyang City to find a job; After a year of mixing, I felt unsatisfactory, and moved to Shenhai City; After only two months in Shenhai City, he returned to Yanjing City. It's a pity that the proverb "the tree dies, the person lives" has not been fulfilled in Yu Leilong, Yu Leilong has been drifting in Yanjing for nearly two years, and he feels more and more that it is not easy for Beijing University. Year after year, Yu Leilong and his girlfriend Bao Ying have also reached the point of talking about marriage, but Yu Leilong can neither afford to buy a house in Yanjing, and his current job is hopeless.

During the dazed period, Yu Leilong's parents suddenly called and sent a message, saying that Yu Yi, the cousin of the same grandfather who lived next to each other, had climbed to a high branch and developed. His parents nagged on the phone, persuading Yu Leilong that if he felt unsatisfactory in Yanjing, he would simply go back to Panyang City and ask Yu Yi to help find a job. The job in Panyang City may not have the same monthly salary as Yanjing, but it is always closer to home.

Yu Leilong knew Wei Dongsheng's fame.

Now, as long as you are a qualified netizen, you must know the two companies of Spring and Autumn Network and Spring and Autumn Search. After the Spring and Autumn Network went public in 2005, it quickly led the Huaguo Internet concept stocks with a terrifying market value; Now that the heat wave of online games is gradually receding, Spring and Autumn Search has taken over in time and continues to lead Huaguo's Internet concept stocks.

Before Yu Leilong boarded the plane, he deliberately checked the market value of Spring and Autumn Search online, and found that based on yesterday's closing price, the market value of Spring and Autumn Search had rushed to $8.44 billion.

It is difficult to predict future changes in market capitalization.

Just like Spring and Autumn Network, the stock price also continued to rise in the first few months after it was listed, and it was once very close to $10 billion. Unexpectedly, this gap has become the end of the world. Spring and Autumn Network immediately ushered in a big dive because of the realization of Zhiyu Group's equity, falling from $9 billion to $6 billion in just two months, and slowly recovered to more than $700 million in 2006. Spring and Autumn Network has never been able to enter the $10 billion market value club, and whether Spring and Autumn Search can enter the $10 billion club is also a between.

Having said that, market capitalization is market capitalization after all, and it represents what the capital market expects from the company.

The fact that Spring and Autumn Search was able to climb from $3.5 billion to $8.44 billion just proves that this company is very much worth looking forward to.
