Global Monopoly of Technology

According to reports, Google only spent $50 million to acquire Android that year, and Luo Sheng knows the impact Android will have on Google and the technology industry more than a decade later. Google's acquisition of Android may be one of the most important M\u0026A transactions in Silicon Valley history. The operating system brings in $20-30 billion in horror ad revenue for Google every year.

Although Luo Sheng felt a pity for not being able to acquire Android, he did not brood over it.

Because of the inability to acquire Android, Luo Sheng has already decided to take out some of the underlying designs from the AOS system, and then re-optimize the magic to launch a new architecture of the open source operating system WOS system solution.

One is the AOS closed-loop ecosystem, which is now leading the world for at least five years, and the other is the open-source ecosystem.

How to lose?

At this time, Qin Weimu slightly tilted his head to look at Luo Sheng, and said thoughtfully: "The acquisition of Android from Google, including this peep on Sun, especially in November last year, when Google took the lead in opening the Mobile Phone Alliance, its intentions were fully The ambition to take over the complete industrial chain has been exposed.”

Hearing this, Luo Sheng couldn't help laughing dumbly, and also remembered the situation at the first developer conference.

Eric Schmidt was so enthusiastic at the Côte d'Azur developer conference, he knew that the old man turned around and pushed Android with his backhand. , and even the Symbian system of Nokia, until the emergence of the Azure mobile phone, let the development of Google's Android system rise to the company's strategic level.

Therefore, it took the lead in opening the mobile phone alliance, and the Google mobile phone operating platform finally officially landed.

And, surprisingly, the mighty Google didn't let Android choose to fight alone like AOS on the Côte d'Azur, but an "Open Handset Alliance" of 34 companies.

Among these 34 companies are Google, Huaguo Mobile, Motorola, Intel, Qualcomm, Samsung, Telecom Italia, Telefonica, T-Mobile, Texas Instruments TI, Broadcom, HTC and other companies.

Some of the world's top chip makers continue to advance a fully integrated mobile "software stack" of operating systems, middleware, user-friendly interfaces and application software, based on Google's Android platform.

Interestingly, the Apple company under the leadership of Gang Master Qiao is not among them. Gang Master Qiao is now addicted to the tablet iPad project and cannot extricate himself.

Intent to change the world again.

Apple's board of directors has proposed many times to enter the smartphone market as soon as possible, but Gangzhu Qiao is a paranoid. Geniuses are often paranoid. They will not deny their mistakes, otherwise they will not be geniuses. When dealing with the word error, the logic in the genius's mind is: How could it be wrong? Incredible, why am I wrong?

Obviously, the birth of Google's Android alliance is an undisguised benchmark for the AOS ecosystem of the Côte d'Azur company. The goal of the AOS system is not only to run on thousands of smartphones, but also to strategic layout in the future. Enter mobile terminal consumer electronics hardware such as TVs, game consoles, wearable devices, and car dashboards.

Qin Weimu said: "Early this year, the first Android device, the G1, was launched, but it failed."

Luo Sheng smiled and said, "I saw 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 it will definitely continue to develop the operating system. If Sun can be merged under its command, it may bring a lot of help."

Luo Sheng nodded but quickly shook his head again, and said lightly and happily: "I think between Larry Page and Larry Ellison, the latter may include Sun in the bag, Larry Ellison This person is also a genius who likes to go wild, and is especially shameless and sinister. Can you imagine that Ellison arranges for people to squat in the opponent's trash can all day long in order to obtain the opponent's confidential information and then collect junk files for analysis? Me? I think Page may be a little bit overwhelmed now, this person's way is not the wildest, only wilder."

Um?

Hearing this, Qin Weimu was puzzled, but instead of paying attention to some of Ellison's dark history that Luo Sheng said, he immediately looked at him puzzled and said, "You mean that Sun may eventually fall into Oracle. hand?"

Luo Sheng didn't speak, but nodded and explained his prediction.

Qin Weimu didn't get too distracted by this matter, and instead said: "Last year, you proposed to develop an open-source ecosystem that is completely opposite to the AOS closed-loop ecosystem. When will this plan be implemented? Until now, it is still stuck. In the plan, there is not even a plan."

Luo Sheng considered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "When the acquisition of MySQL company is completed, let Yao Jianhong put the project on schedule and hand it over to Feng Yi to execute it. He is focusing on the ecosystem and released it at the developer conference in 2009. , let's call it the WOS system."

Two years is enough. The Côte d'Azur is not without foundation like it was in 2004. Google dreams of getting the underlying design of AOS, but WOS, which has not yet been born as a competitor to Android, can easily get relevant resources. tilt.

Of course, Android has an advantage to start early, but the open source system of the Côte d'Azur started late but has a high starting point, which is also an advantage. In the end, it has to return to the hard power of technology, which Luo Sheng is very confident.

And the launch time is just right. 2010 is an important time node. If there is not much change, it is no surprise that domestic smartphone brands such as Xiaomi Mobile will spring up at this time node.

Also in this year, it was not unexpectedly the time for Google to withdraw from China, and Luo Sheng's analysis and reference from his previous life showed that by 2010, the smartphone market was still dominated by Nokia's Symbian system.

Not to mention at the moment, SymbianS60v3/v5 is the No. 1 market share and is far ahead. Even in 2008, traditional mobile phone giants such as Nokia are still intoxicated by the past glory and still reluctant to move a comfortable position. , still clinging to the plastic keyboard.

This time, a few companies played with Google.

Because Azure mobile phones currently have a market share of less than 1% in the market with an annual sales volume of 1 billion, those traditional people do not realize how fierce the big wave of the mobile Internet is, and there are too many emerging companies because of this. With the rise, too many companies have also declined because of it, and there are also behemoths like Nokia.

It really confirms the old saying, you won't cry if you don't go into the coffin.

As for the current Android system, Bluestar Technology does not even have a "Family Bucket" application. It's not that Luo Sheng is not allowed to use it. 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 now, let alone its ecological environment. HTC and Samsung don't know what they're doing now.

For others, the arrival of the mobile Internet has made many people confused, but Luo Sheng is very clear about the future road. He seized the time point in 2010 and launched the WOS operating system in 2009. Its ecology is exactly the same as that of Android. , all play open source operations.

Luo Sheng's confidence lies in the fact that domestic mobile phone brands will eventually rise, so as long as the domestic team is brought well, the open ecosystem will be able to compete with Android on a global scale.

Under Luo Sheng's blueprint, the future mobile operating system should be a situation of "one superpower and many strong". "One super" is the AOS system under the closed loop, which has always been ahead of this field for more than five years, while "one superpower" is a closed-loop AOS system. "How Strong" should be based on WOS system, Google Android based on Linux operating system, Nokia Symbian, Apple iOS and so on.

However, Apple has lost its outlet, and the iPhone's luck has basically been drained by Luo Sheng. Even if iOS is launched, it is destined to not be able to make waves. There is also a precondition here. no way back.

In terms of closed-loop and open-source ecology, Côte d’Azur has both hands, and both hands are hard.

At the same time, the open-source ecosystem is divided into two camps. The WOS system is led by the Côte d’Azur company and led by domestic brands such as Xiaomi, OPPO and vivo to form a WOS ecosystem.

Of course, the premise is that Rebs and the others will set up companies like Xiaomi and vivo as scheduled like Luo Sheng's last life, but even without Xiaomi, there will definitely be rice and the like. Luo Sheng doesn't need to worry about this, because he plans to Azure is a mid-to-low-end mobile phone, but mainly in the high-end area. It would be good to build an open-source WOS system for the mid-to-low end. The profit here is not much, and it is given to other domestic mobile phone manufacturers.

Here is Luo Sheng's confidence and mind-set, and it is also clear that for a long time in the future, his opponent will not be in China, but overseas, in Google.

The other big open source ecological camp is Google's ecosystem based on the Android system. It is no surprise that the first chief hitman in the early days of Android may be HTC, and then Samsung came to the top, and HTC eventually fell and died.

This is Luo Sheng's prediction for the future trend of the entire industry. There is a high probability that it will move towards such a trend, and the pulse of this era will have a high probability to beat like this. Luo Sheng firmly believes.

By grasping the pulse of the times, we can win the future.

Luo Sheng's ambition is to build a pyramid-like structure in the global mobile phone industry. The top echelon should be the 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 veteran brands. The giants who have fallen will stay here and wait to die.

Such a structure will eventually subtly establish a consensus on consumption habits in the minds of consumers. For high-end phones, Azure-based mobile phones are preferred, for mid-to-low-end phones, WOS-based or Android-based phones are preferred, and plastic keyboard function phones are the best choice. , it doesn't matter which brand you buy, you don't need to read the brand, cheap and easy to use is the first choice.
