Technology Bigshot

【Chapter 291: Competition or Cooperation? 】

"Google has already headed to the moon, when will our star technology company aim beyond the earth?" - "NetEase Science and Technology News".

As the umbrella company Alphabet announced that Google's XPRIZE moon landing plan was officially launched this week, the news of human landing on the moon became a hot topic again for a while. For the vast extraterrestrial world and the boundless space, human beings have always paid attention to it. With endless longing.

Umbrella company Alphabet has earned a lot of attention with the help of the moon landing plan.

Also as another representative of a technology giant company, that is: XlouS company, it is inevitable to compare the two with each other. As early as some time ago, when Mark Zuckerberg visited China, when he visited Matrix Technology, the company The founders broke the news about the preparations, all indicating that they have set their sights on space.

Ren Hong even made bold statements about "lighting up" the two largest gas planets in the solar system, all of which show that Matrix Technology will inevitably set its sights on the vast outer space in the future. However, compared with the Alphabet umbrella company, Matrix Technology XlouS suffers from being established too early. In the field of space exploration, compared with Google, which launched the moon program 15 years ago, it has suffered a lot in terms of time. Inevitable flaws.

However, people still have high hopes for XlouS, especially the domestic public and media. Recently, Google's XPRIZE moon landing plan, XlouS company is regarded by the media as the most competitive member, perhaps not one of them.

Media articles are always exaggerated and eye-catching. For example, on the second day after Google announced the official launch of the XPRIZE moon landing plan, an article from the British "Times" said:

A new round of space arms race is about to start. Unlike the US-Soviet space arms race in the post-war Cold War era, this time the space arms race is another form. The participating "players" are no longer countries but companies. Interesting What is surprising is that the two most powerful companies come from the two most powerful countries in the East and the West. This seems to be the reappearance of yesterday's hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union. In the current first stage, Alphabet from the United States took the lead. XlouS has not yet acted. Alphabet is temporarily in the dominant stage in the first stage...

As a frequent visitor in the field of cutting-edge technology in the world today, Matrix Technology will inevitably be mentioned and compared.

...

Matrix Technologies, Headquarters.

“…XlouS and Alphabet have striking similarities. Both started as Internet companies and made their fortunes until they continued to expand their businesses vertically. Both of them eventually went to spin-off and reorganization. Now there is no conflict between the businesses of the two parties. , but in the future, as the two parties have successively set foot in the field of cutting-edge technology,

The two companies are very likely or will become competitors..." Gao Yue muttered, and then said: "What do you think about this? I also think Alphabet could be our next serious competitor, which is worth noting. "

"Who said those remarks just now?" Ren Hong asked curiously.

"Wall Street." Gao Yue shrugged and responded. She thought about it, and it seemed that Wall Street's analysis was not wrong. XlouS might really compete with Google's parent company in the future.

Ren Hong pondered for a while, then slowly nodded thoughtfully, "It's possible."

The media seems to be right in their analysis. In today’s world, apart from the Alphabet umbrella company, there seems to be no other “pure” non-technical company that can compete with Matrix Technology in terms of technical reserves, company size, and company financial resources. Government-colored tech companies, too.

Apple fell and died because he relied too much on the mobile phone business. Apple seems to be a world-class behemoth with hundreds of billions of dollars in cash reserves and strong financial resources, but in fact it is a strong external force.

The Alphabet umbrella company is different. The biggest feature is reflected in the visionary vision of the founder Larry Page. Long before the Google reorganization, the company gave the impression that dozens of billions of dollars to tinker with some useless things, that is, the familiar GoogleX laboratory and X plan, the company has invested a lot of money but has never had any returns. It can be said that GoogleX is completely supported by Google search advertising business Dollars burned by the lab.

With the reorganization of Google in 2015, the new Google is the current Alphabet umbrella company. Google has become a subsidiary of the parent company. After the reorganization of Google, people found that Alphabet has more than 200 subsidiaries, involving various industries. Especially the most representative areas of driverless cars, artificial intelligence, etc.

Apple Apple has apparently also discovered the company's fatal shortcoming. Tim Cook obviously realized this, and began to expand Apple's business vertically, involving virtual reality VR, driverless cars and other fields, but Apple Apple as a The latecomers realized that they were already lagging behind other companies. Virtual reality VR allowed Facebook to occupy a dominant position. In the field of unmanned driving, Alphabet is one of the leaders in the industry.

Apple's ambitions were bumped into one after another until it faced failure in the competition with XlouS, which directly led to the collapse of a giant with hundreds of billions of dollars. Although the current Apple is still a world-class giant, it cannot be erased. His identity as a loser and currently being dubbed XlouS wage earner by the media.

Apple’s examples and lessons further highlight Larry Page’s excellent vision. In the past, the outside world thought that Google’s “non-business” initiatives have now become Alphabet’s pivotal business, giving the company’s prospects enough imagination.

However, Alphabet seems to be facing new pressure today. Both Wall Street and the media agree that XlouS will most likely 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 not interested in it. The most direct reflection is that Alphabet's market value has not skyrocketed like Facebook, and has remained stagnant because they are worried about it. Facing the technology giant Matrix Technology, many people Everyone is sweating for Alphabet and Larry Page. XlouS's brilliant record and achievements make everyone look forward to Alphabet, although Larry Page has proved his outstanding vision.

Ren Hong, who pondered for a long time, said again: "Compared with competition, I believe that the possibility of cooperation will be greater."

Gao Yue seemed a little surprised by this answer, "How do you say?"

Ren Hong said with a smile: "For example, we don't want to get involved in the hottest driverless car field. In this way, there will be no competition. But!"

Ren Hong suddenly made a big turning point. He explained: "For example, no, it should be said that the company must do it. We don't directly get involved in the field of driverless cars, but it doesn't mean that we don't get involved in related fields."
