Chapter 522: Can I enter the mobile phone business?
In fact, in terms of the current hardware level.
Chen Xiao believes that whether it is Saipan or Firefly OS, there is simply no way to achieve the effect of a real smartphone.
At best, it is just to allow users to experience the mobile network era more conveniently and bring convenience to everyone.
Of course, in terms of the experience process, Firefly must be several orders of magnitude higher than Saipan.
Chen Xiao still said the same thing, if Changtian Technology could develop and produce its own chips, and if it would not be obstructed to buy chips from overseas chip companies, then Chen Xiao would never cooperate with Nokia to make mobile phones, and Do it alone.
The most important reason why he wants to cooperate with Nokia is that he needs Nokia's contacts in the world.
With this shell, the following things will be much more convenient to operate.
When Changtian Technology was in its infancy, it needed the shell of Nokia.
Simpson repeatedly tried the engineering machine that Chen Xiao provided him.
Compared with the Nokia Symbian mobile phone in my hand, my heart jumped!
In 1999, Saipan launched the SymbianOSv5.x operating system, and in 2000 the world's first mobile phone with Symbian system: Ericsson R380 was officially sold.
This year, Saipan launched SymbianOSv7.
There are as many as seven or eight mobile phone brands supporting the Saipan system in the world.
Nokia, Sony Ericsson (Sony and Ericsson jointly established a mobile terminal company in 2001), Motorola, Samsung and so on.
The Symbian system is currently the main competitor is Microsoft's WindowsMobile.
Microsoft WindowsMobile camp currently has Motorola, Dopod, Samsung, LG and so on.
However, even if there are competitors, Saipan is currently invincible in the global smartphone market.
Although Microsoft has a new mobile operating system, his ideas have completely entered the PC operating system.
Therefore, the mobile operating system made by Microsoft is far inferior to Saipan in terms of ease of use and richness of resources, and it has not yet posed a threat to Saipan.
Nokia has also become the world's biggest winner because of Saipan.
In this case, does Nokia need to cooperate with Changtian Technology?
Need to launch a new mobile phone system?
Although Simpson has a very good personal relationship with Chen Xiao and Wang Xiang.
But from the company's point of view, Simpson feels that there is no need for Nokia to introduce a new system at present.
Because of the introduction of a new mobile phone system, the first step is to cut the Nokia Saipan market.
Nokia's headquarters is currently planning a major event - around February next year, to acquire a 31.1% stake in Saipan, which is worth about £135.7 million held by Polyon.
In this way, Nokia can become the largest shareholder of Saipan, occupying about 63.3% of Saipan's equity.
In this way, Nokia can achieve absolute control of the Symbian system.
As a result, Nokia will become the dual king of mobile phones and systems.
This is equivalent to Microsoft buying IBM a reason.
In this case, is it necessary for Microsoft to re-launch a new PC system?
Just like Nokia, is it necessary to introduce a new mobile phone system?
Totally unnecessary!
Simpson did not immediately answer Chen Xiao's question, but asked, "What does President Chen mean?"
Nokia needs mutual authorization of 3G communication, so it needs to know Chen Xiao's answer.
Chen Xiao said: "Changtian Technology hopes that your company can launch a smartphone with Firefly OS."
really!
Simpson was short of breath.
Nokia has the world's best supply chain of mobile phone components and raw materials.
Coupled with the fact that Changtian Technology now has a production line of mobile phones, it is logical to launch a mobile phone equipped with Firefly OS.
And even if Chen Xiao didn't say it, Simpson knew that Changtian Technology wanted to launch a mobile phone with the Firefly OS system, not to jointly launch this type of mobile phone with Nokia.
Instead, they hope to use Nokia's procurement chain and brand, especially Nokia's brand to purchase mobile phone chips.
Simpson fully understands the current difficulty of Changtian Technology—the chip cannot be obtained, or it is difficult to obtain the chip.
Qualcomm currently has a good cooperative relationship with Microsoft. According to this situation, even if Qualcomm is willing to sell mobile phone chips to Changtian Technology, the price is quite expensive, which will make Changtian Technology's products without any price advantage.
The same goes for Texas Instruments.
Freescale and STMicroelectronics mainly cooperate with companies such as Nokia, and their production is limited. It is very good to be able to meet Nokia's requirements, and there will be no redundant orders for Changtian Technology.
So Simpson is very clear that Changtian Technology is going to go public through the backdoor.
In this case, the profit distribution of both parties, Nokia does not think that it will seek benefits.
"The mutual recognition and authorization of 3G technology is easy to say." Chen Xiao said.
Simpson could not immediately answer Chen Xiao's question.
Instead, he said, "I still need to report this matter to the head office."
Simpson can leave the summer country and return to Finland.
After watching Simpson leave, Wang Xiang asked Chen Xiao, "Mr. Chen, what are the chances of Nokia agreeing?"
Chen Xiao said, "Not much."
Not too big to try.
Chen Xiao is very clear about the positioning of Changtian Technology.
What Changtian Technology wants is not to set up a great mobile phone company, but to build a more profitable ecosystem.
Simply making mobile phones is profitable, but not as much as imagined. Otherwise, the market value of Xiaomi would have stabilized globally.
The real profit is the ecosystem.
Do you really think that Apple's market value was the first in the world to rely on selling mobile phones?
Mobile phones are part of it, but the ecosystem and derived value brought by mobile phones are the most important part.
If we can seize the opportunity to cooperate with Nokia According to Nokia's current global size, Changtian Technology can complete its own ecological chain layout ahead of Android and Apple's IOS.
In this way, Changtian Technology is fully prepared to meet the challenges in the next ten years or so.
At present, Apple is still selling iPods, Macs, selling concepts, and insisting on building its own ecology and building its own loyal user group. It has not yet become a climate.
If it really grows up, it will be a very formidable opponent.
Because compared with companies such as Apple and Google, Changtian Technology has two biggest disadvantages.
One is going it alone.
There are not many companies in the country that can cooperate with them. The Changtian Technology Matrix Group has just started to build, and the only ones that are shooting are production and Huawei.
The second is the chip!
As a key product for the development of science and technology in the next few decades, the entire Xia Kingdom has no chips, and Changtian Technology has no chips.
Chen Xiao has always believed that software and ecological chain must be built on the basis of hardware.
Without the foundation of hardware, everything is in vain.
If he can't reach a cooperation with Nokia, Chen Xiao will have to spend a lot of brains in the future.
