Chapter 41: How to cooperate with you
Chu Feng didn't say anything, but took out a cardboard box from his pocket and handed it to Bill.
"Mr. Bill, you know that tomorrow is the launch of our company's new mobile phone, right?"
Seeing Chu Feng hand over a box, and Chu Feng's words, he could also guess that the box was a new mobile phone launched by Origin Company, which made Bill confused. What was the difference between the two and today's negotiation?
What?
For the mobile phone industry, Bill or Microsoft also has its own analysis and development.
In the economic environment, Citi has always attached great importance to the development of high technology and supported the development of high-tech companies. Moreover, Citi's tertiary industry accounts for approximately 78% of GDP, of which high technology has made a huge contribution.
Microsoft has long dominated PC software manufacturing, but the growth rate of PC computer sales has slowed sharply as consumers have turned their attention to smartphones and tablets.
Because with the advent of the information age, people are becoming more and more dependent on mobile phones.
Mobile phones are no longer just a communication device, but more and more attention is paid to the functional diversity and brand effect of mobile phones.
As consumers' awareness of brands continues to strengthen, modern people are increasingly paying attention to brands when purchasing mobile phones.
And with the development of smart phones, smart phones are no longer the exclusive preserve of young people, but have become a commodity for all. Smart phones have become a fashion trend. The upgrading of mobile phones has even become a status symbol. The mobile phone market is very considerable.
of!
The competition in the mobile phone industry is also huge. The only way is to always keep technology one step ahead of others. High-tech products are updated quickly and have short life cycles. This puts higher requirements on mobile phone companies to develop software and continuously update hardware, and mobile phones
Nokia, the current leader, has many patented technologies, talent reserves and technical reserves.
So on the evening of September 2, 2013, Microsoft announced that it would acquire most of Nokia's mobile phone business for 3.79 billion euros, and would also purchase Nokia's patent license for 1.65 billion euros. Therefore, the total value of this transaction
The price is approximately 5.44 billion euros.
Microsoft's motivation for this acquisition is that Microsoft is the world's leader in personal computer software development.
It is the world's largest computer software supplier! At the same time, Microsoft's W family occupies 91.49% of the global PC operating system share!
In its long-term development process, Microsoft has accumulated a large amount of reputation and users, and the name Microsoft has a very high reputation around the world!
As the leader in PCs for 38 years, Microsoft has huge financial and technical reserves, a cutting-edge elite R&D team and a sales management team.
This is also the place that Chu Feng envies the most.
However, companies as powerful as Microsoft have also failed in this investment.
It was too late to get involved in the mobile phone industry, the market is becoming saturated, and the vast majority of the market share is occupied by Android and Apple. Moreover, they are not familiar with the mobile phone industry, are slow to update, lack core patented mobile phone technologies, and have no stable suppliers. This also makes this
This acquisition became the biggest failure.
Seeing Bill in a daze, Chu Feng had to remind Bill.
"Mr. Bill, you can open it first and take a look, then you will know my confidence!"
"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!" Bill suddenly remembered an old saying from China that he had read somewhere before, and without refuting, he opened the mobile phone box in front of him.
It feels quite heavy when you first get it. When you open the plastic package, you will find an alloy-like box inside.
"The workmanship is very good, are you planning to take the high-end route?" A thought flashed in Bill's mind.
I looked at the box of the mobile phone. It was perfect, except for the laser logo of Lightyear Company on it.
After pressing it, the box opened instantly, and I finally saw the true appearance of the phone inside.
The 5.5-inch super large screen is the same as most mobile phones, but the front of the entire mobile phone is just a smooth black glass screen. It is not Apple’s funny notch, and there is no camera, earpiece, or distance sensing device. It is a true full screen.
On the phone, I don’t see any trace of the bezel.
Slightly deflected, there is no headphone jack, no volume button, no home button, not even a charging port, just the microphone hole reserved below and the power button on the side. The back is also made of silver-gray aluminum alloy material, but it is
Three more cameras, and a Chinese logo of origin.
"This...is this a mobile phone?"
Even the well-informed Bill was a little shocked. This phone is incredible. Isn't it impossible to design it without borders? And how can you connect the power to the computer without a power port?
Although he was shocked inside, Bill showed no expression on his face and tried pressing the power button.
Suddenly, a logo of Origin flew out of the center of the phone.
I was counting silently in my mind, wanting to see the boot speed, but before I could count, I entered the desktop.
The desktop with the background of the starry sky looked like science fiction. The mobile phone came with small software such as an alarm clock calculator, an electronic clock with a sci-fi style, and a smart little figure, Xiao Ke. Bill's eyes flashed and he also discovered the clues.
Not to mention the boot time, the colors and effects of this screen are also great! The resolution is definitely not low.
The Xiaoke that came with it also introduced the phone in authentic Chinese flags that put Bill to shame.
Sure enough, the main screen has reached the 8K level. It is a brand-new self-developed screen. It has a rear 20-megapixel wide-angle camera and an ultra-wide-angle camera, and also takes away the starlight shooting function. The front camera is hidden above the phone and can be raised and lowered.
The battery is not fancy, it is just a 3000 mAh battery, but it uses black technology and wireless charging.
And this wireless charging is not a pseudo-wireless trick that requires placing the phone on the charging station, but in the true sense, it can be charged as long as it is within fifteen meters of the power source!
Tesla Radio Bill also knows that, but being able to integrate wireless charging equipment into a mobile phone that is only a few millimeters thick is a skill.
As for the CPU, it is a self-developed Origin CPU that meets the eight-core processor standard and can play any mobile game. Coupled with Xiaoke's acceleration effect, it directly beats other smartphones by dozens of blocks.
The cache is 8G and the memory is 1T. For those who didn’t know, I thought it was a desktop configuration. Plus, with the system’s own cloud disk and 10T of free space, you no longer have to worry about running out of memory.
Playing with the phone in his hand, even Bill had to admit that if the price difference was not big, he would definitely choose this phone.
The technical content contained in this mobile phone is so high that even if one of them is taken out, Bill is confident that it can compete with Android and Apple!
Thinking of this, I can't help but think of Nokia acquired by Microsoft, and I feel a little worried...
"Mr. Chu, your company's mobile phone...is pretty good."
After holding back for a long time, Bill only said this. After all, he was negotiating and could not reveal other meanings, otherwise he would be handing the chips into the other party's hands.
"Haha, Mr. Bill, don't worry, you may not understand another function of this phone."
Chu Feng's words made Bill a little confused. This phone has basically these functions. Is there anything special?
"Look at what's in the box." Chu Feng gestured to Bill to look at the mobile phone box in front of him.
It is true that this mobile phone box is too big compared to the mobile phone.
Sure enough, when I opened the second floor, there were two boxes lying quietly inside, one large and one small. One opened to reveal a Bluetooth headset and charging compartment, and the other was a glasses case with VR marked on it.
Unpack the headphones and glasses, take off your own glasses and replace them with the Bluetooth headphones and glasses in the box.
Without any operation, when I put it on, it said that the automatic connection was successful.
Randomly open a test video that comes with the phone.
At first glance, Bill almost threw the phone in his hand!
Fortunately, I wasn't embarrassed, but I was shocked by what I saw in front of me.
This is a video shot in the deep sea. Bill almost threw his phone away just now because a great white shark suddenly appeared in the camera, and the picture played seemed to be right in front of him at his fingertips.
Although I know it's fake, I just can't help but want to try it with my hands. It feels like I'm under the deep sea, swimming with the fish in the sea, and the perfect sound quality of the built-in headphones is also immersive.
The feeling of its environment.
It’s amazing. This is simply an epoch-making design. This VR technology completely beats other pseudo-technologies. Compared with this mobile phone, other VRs can only be said to be weak!
The release of this mobile phone will cause a tsunami disaster in the smartphone industry.
Bill could have predicted that the sales of other mobile phones would drop off a cliff!
Thinking of this, Bill couldn't help but feel a little scared. If his company mainly focused on mobile phones, could he be able to handle it?
After thinking about it for a while, the answer is very frustrating. The technology contained in this mobile phone is too terrible.
To hell with being reserved or not, chips and all that, you must cooperate with Lightyear Company!
Bill took off his glasses, and his slightly trembling hands showed the inner excitement of the owner of these hands.
I haven't felt this way for a long time, just like when I first designed Windows, this was the opportunity in front of me!
Lightyear's weakness is its lack of foundation, while Microsoft's weakness is its lack of technology (Bill is a little frustrated when he thinks that such a huge company does not have enough technology)
If the two can cooperate, what more can be said about the future market prospects?
"Mr. Chu, tell me, how can we cooperate with Microsoft? If we cooperate with Microsoft, the smartphone market will be divided between the two of us!"
The conference hall was in an uproar...
No wonder everyone would be surprised and exclaimed, what Bill said was really scary, I just tested the phone, and the attitude before and after was really too great.
Now Bill is just short of being labeled as someone who has been taken advantage of. It is clear that he is Chu Feng and said, "I am stupid and have a lot of money. Just say whatever you want."
