Super Tycoon

Zhang Yang thought that after the release of Zhiduoxing's smart phone, it would accelerate the change of Symbian company. In his previous life, Motorola had already withdrawn this year.

But in this life, the direction of history has turned crooked again.

"What did you say? Saipan announced a shareholder change, and Ericsson, the main shareholder, has become Suoai?"

At this time in the previous life, Motorola withdrew from Suoai, and Ericsson also had conflicts with Nokia. Later, Symbian was wholly owned by Nokia. Later, because Nokia was not good at system development, Symbian retreated steadily, and finally it was sadly out.

It has changed now, Motorola has not announced its withdrawal from Symbian, and Ericsson has become Suoai, and these three companies still maintain their alliance relationship.

"Yes, Ericsson's mobile phone business has already been invested in Suoai Company. Isn't it normal to invest in Saipan's shares this time?" Xiao Wang thought there was no problem, why did the chairman look so strange ?

"Bring me sales data for new Symbian phones from Nokia, Motorola, and Soai, along with estimated costs for their products."

"I also brought over the analysis reports on the financial situation of the three companies, including the changes in the executives of the Saipan company, as well as the changes in the executives of related companies. I want it."

Xiao Wang seldom saw the chairman's expression, so he ran out immediately to find these materials.

Half an hour later, Xiao Wang came back with a pile of materials, and Duan Yongping followed.

"Chairman, do you think there is a problem with the equity change of Saipan Company?" Duan Yongping asked.

"I'll take a look first."

Zhang Yang looked through various materials, looked up the sales statistics of various smartphones during this period, and also checked which companies still supported the Symbian system, and he found a big problem.

Not only Motorola and Suoai did not withdraw, but BenQ, which just acquired Ximenzi, Songxia of the island country, and Philips of Europe, all supported the Symbian system.

Samsung, TCL, LG, etc. also support the Symbian system.

There are two reasons for this. One is that Symbian has lowered the licensing fee of the system, so that manufacturers can guarantee the cost performance and better occupy the market.

The other is that the Microsoft system and the BlackBerry system are developing rapidly, especially Microsoft, which has two exclusive brands of Dopod and Lianxiang, and Motorola has also launched a smart phone with a full keyboard that supports the Microsoft system.

Nokia saw that Motorola had found a new home, so it didn't break up with Motorola. And Motorola also feels more prepared with both hands. After all, the development of Motorola in this life is slightly worse than in the previous life. Although the ultra-thin V3 is popular, it is not as popular as in the previous life because of the competitor of Zhiduoxing.

Souni also strongly demanded that Ericsson make a concession, injecting the Symbian shares held by Ericsson into Soai Company, and at the same time, Souni also injected a sum of money to balance the shares.

BlackBerry still plays on its own, but it is also very strong, especially the prices of many mobile phones are very high, and the profit margins are also very high.

Last year, top-notch smartphones retailed for more than $1,000, and there were several smartphones priced at more than $800. This year, the prices have dropped, but there are still many smartphones priced at more than $700.

This kind of mobile phone has completely become the high-end mobile phone market. When major manufacturers found that the mid-to-low-end mobile phone market expanded, but did not affect the proportion of the high-end mobile phone market, they all began to make efforts in the high-end field, hoping to earn more money.

In contrast, Smartphones sold by Zhiduoxing this year only cost a little over US$600, which is still relatively cheap.

"I remember two years ago, it was said that Motorola and Nokia broke up. At that time, they were going to quit Symbian. Why didn't there be any news later?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Chairman, have you forgotten that at that time we spent 200 million US dollars from Motorola to purchase some technology licenses. Motorola is not short of money, why did you quit Symbian?" Xiao Wang reminded road.

Zhang Yang held his breath in his chest. It was his decision to co-author, which led to the current situation?

Symbian is now the dominant player, suppressing the systems of BlackBerry and Microsoft, and the Zhiduoxing system is just another challenger.

At this time in the previous life, Symbian accounted for more than 60% of the smart phone market, and Microsoft and Blackberry each accounted for less than 20%.

In this life, with the emergence of the Zhiduoxing system, I don’t know what the ratio will be, but I feel that there is no problem with Saipan occupying half of the market.

"What is your forecast for the share of our smartphones in the global smartphone market?" Zhang Yang tapped his fingers on the table, and he had lowered his sales forecast in his mind.

"Five percent." Duan Yongping said weakly, "The main reason is that ours is only the first model, and many people have never used it, so they will be skeptical. And we are not Microsoft, and we have no operating system. Such a high reputation."

"Are you sure you can guarantee a 5% market share?"

Duan Yongping is puzzled. When I reported to you before, you didn't say anything. Why are you worried now? Our mobile phone has just been released on the market. Although the word of mouth is not very good, it is not bad.

"What I mean is, if I am not big enough, then I will increase the cost of publicity. At the same time, I will contact other hardware manufacturers and communication operators to tell them that they can use our system and allow them to make special changes. We are semi-open source. , this should be very attractive."

At this time, it is necessary to compete for the support of more mobile phone manufacturers in order to expand the camp and allow consumers to accept this system faster.

The launch of Android in the previous life was more than two years later than the current Zhiduoxing system, and it took nearly three years to suppress Symbian, Blackberry and Microsoft and become the number one in the industry.

At that time, there were hundreds of the world's top hardware manufacturers and telecom operators in the Android camp.

"We must let consumers know our operating system and like it in the shortest possible time. At the same time, we must promote this more quickly, even if it may lose money during this period of time."

"In addition to paying attention to Symbian, BlackBerry and Microsoft, we should also pay attention to Apple, which seems to be good at developing operating systems. Nokia is not good at system development, but Souni has experience."

"If Symbian changes the dominance, then the upgrade of this system will be faster, and our development will be more difficult."

"Add another sum to the system research and development costs, do a good job of the core architecture, and speed up the upgrade speed. I hope our system runs faster, occupies less memory, is easier to upgrade, and is not prone to loopholes. At the same time, send people to find other The loopholes in the mobile phone system will attack them in public opinion at critical moments."

"Old Duan, we were too optimistic before. Remember that the era of functional phones moving towards smart phones is coming. To gain a firm foothold in this industry in the future, the most important thing is whether the Zhiduoxing system can be accepted!"
