Kallasvuo looked blank. What to do now? What should Nokia do?

Nowadays, the N97 has been slow to sell. Due to the absolute delay problem of this system, the phenomenon of high configuration and low power is really serious. So what should Nokia do? Although, Nokia's engineering team can modify the Symbian system to improve its efficiency, which can alleviate this problem.

This is a system lagging phenomenon. However, it is impossible to completely solve it because the engineers underestimated the various subsequent effects of high configuration. In particular, underestimating the touch screen was the biggest mistake they made this time

.

After all, Nokia has never designed a touch-screen phone before, and the N97 is Nokia's first touch-screen phone. Touch-screen and keyboard phones are two completely different concepts. Nokia engineers underestimated the system requirements of touch-screen phones.

As a result, the performance of the touch screen is a mess.

For Kallasvuo, the most important thing now is not the N97, but what will happen to Nokia in the future? Now that it has been proven that Nokia's current Symbian system is not good, what will happen to Nokia in the future? This is what Kallasvuo really cares about. Nokia can tolerate a temporary failure.

, but cannot tolerate long-term failure. But now for Nokia, N95 has failed, and N97 has also failed. So what will Nokia do in the future?

According to the engineers’ suggestions, the Symbian system has limited room for performance improvement. Of course, the most important thing is that the Symbian system is still a functional machine system. Since it is a functional machine system, it is destined to have inherent flaws and cannot meet the needs of smart phones.

.So, now Nokia needs a smart system. Otherwise, Nokia will end badly. Unless Nokia keeps taking the feature phone route. However, it has entered the era of smart phones. If Nokia continues to take the feature phone route, its profits will be extremely limited.

Now, the high-end phone market is dominated by smart phones. And the ones that make money are high-end phones. Low-end phones don’t make money at all, they just make money from the market. If Nokia keeps selling low-end phones, how can it make money? If there is no profit, then what?

Maintain it?

However, Nokia currently does not have a smart system. This is Nokia's biggest problem! Lin Feng has "Pangu", "Apple" has "IOS", and Samsung, Motorola and Sony have "Android". What does Nokia have?

Kallasvuo smiled bitterly. Nokia has nothing now. Intelligent systems are Nokia's biggest shortcoming. But how to make up for this shortcoming, Kallasvuo doesn't know.

In the eighth hour, N97 sales fell into a low ebb again, with a total global sales of only more than 2,000 units. By the ninth hour, the total global sales were less than 100 units. As for the 10th hour, N97 sales were only in single digits. And with the

What followed was a frenzy of protests and returns from many users who had purchased the N97. The N97's system delays, touch failure and other problems made many users who purchased the N97 extremely angry. Their expectations for the N97 were very high, but as a result,

The N97 is so disappointing. Especially those games are so stuck. There is no gaming pleasure at all. This is unbearable.

The N97, like the N95, was once again slow to sell. This was something Nokia had never thought of before. They had assumed that the N95 would be slow to sell, but they never thought that the N97 would make the same mistake again. You know, the performance of the N97 is definitely far superior to the N95.

And it’s a touch-screen phone. How could it be unsaleable? But reality cruelly slapped Nokia in the face.

The N97 is so unsalable. You want the N97 to sell well, but the result is that it is unsalable. The sales volume has just exceeded one million, and it is unsalable. How can Nokia accept this! And now for Nokia, the biggest problem is-operation

System. Nokia does not have an intelligent system, which is Nokia’s biggest shortcoming. But how to fill this shortcoming?

Nokia is confused! The successive failures have made Nokia extremely confused. They are the king of mobile phone manufacturers, but they have always focused on hardware production. Software is by no means Nokia's specialty. But now, Nokia's shortcoming is software, then

How to make up for it?

"President Kallasvuo, what should we do now?" Nokia's board of directors held an emergency meeting to discuss.

Kallasvuo lowered his head and did not dare to respond. He had no idea what to do at the moment. He was completely lost and had no confidence at all at the moment. Originally, he was really confident in the N97, but the result was

Completely lost.

Kallasvuo's confusion also represents the attitude of Nokia's board of directors today. They are all confused. They don't know what to do about Nokia's future.

"The opportunity has come!" Bill Gates said in the distant United States.

Ballmer nodded and flew to Finland himself.

Ballmer asked for a meeting? Kallasvuo looked shocked. Why is Microsoft President Ballmer here? Is Microsoft related to him? This is incredible. But although he couldn't figure out why Microsoft wanted him and others, Kallasvuo still received him warmly.

Ballmer.

"President Kallasvuo, your company is in a very difficult situation now!" Ballmer sighed, "The problem with your company is that it does not have an intelligent system of its own. Have you thought about how to solve it?"

Although Kallasvuo had been confused before, Ballmer's arrival at this moment gave him an epiphany.

"President Ballmer, our biggest shortcoming is that we do not have our own intelligent system, which cannot continue to defend our kingship in the era of smartphones. The hardware performance of Lin Feng's 'Fuxi' and 'Apple's' iPhone is not as good as

How much stronger we are, but with the advantages of software systems, we are far behind. President Ballmer, maybe you can give me the answer!" Kallasvuo looked at Ballmer expectantly.

Ballmer smiled slightly.

"President Kallasvuo, since you are a smart man, I won't talk nonsense. Now the situation of Nokia is extremely bad. After the previous rise, the stock price has suffered a heavy setback. At present, if your company cannot come up with

Revitalization plan, I am afraid that the decades-old Nokia brand will decline." Ballmer said lightly, "But now, Microsoft can give you such an opportunity."

Kallasvuo breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, Microsoft's goal is the operating system. I just don't know what Microsoft's conditions are.

"Mr. Ballmer, the price?" Kallasvuo asked.

"We are jointly launching a new mobile phone, with each party holding 50% of the shares. We provide the mobile operating system, while your company provides the hardware and funds, and the profit is split half way!" Ballmer said with a smile.

"Microsoft" provides a brand new operating system to help Nokia regain control of the mobile phone market. Nokia provides all hardware facilities. This is the most reasonable cooperation model that Ballmer has thought of. But will Nokia agree?

Microsoft provides the software, Nokia provides the hardware, and the profits are split half way? - Kallasvuo frowned. In this profit distribution plan, Microsoft has the upper hand. You know, Microsoft doesn't pay anything and just provides a software, but Nokia wants to

Provide hardware, and if hardware is involved, there will inevitably be production costs. But Microsoft only provides software, which does not involve hardware. The final hardware costs are provided by Nokia. So what if Nokia loses money?

?Of course, it’s not that Nokia can’t provide hardware, but the profit sharing cannot be divided in half.

"President Ballmer, all these losses are borne by Nokia. Don't you think this is a bit unfair?" Kallasvuo said coldly, "You know, even without Microsoft, we at Nokia can develop sufficiently good operations.

System. In that case, the profits will be exclusive to us. Your request is too high!"

Ballmer chuckled.

"President Kallasvuo, your company is engaged in hardware, but we at Microsoft specialize in software. Hardware and software are completely different fields. In the hardware field, your company is definitely the leader, but in terms of software,

Your company is far behind us by more than one level. At present, your company's N95 and N97 have proven one thing, that is, no matter how strong the hardware performance is, if there is no software to support it, the performance of the hardware is just a burden.

.But our company can provide the most excellent software, which is comparable to Lin Feng's 'Pangu' and 'Apple's'IOS' operating systems. As long as we have a suitable operating system, I think the N97 can definitely be reborn, and even

The N95 can be reborn. We share the profits half and half, and we are very sincere. If your company is still not satisfied, then we have no choice. In the end, we can only let your company develop it by itself." Ballmer shrugged

Shrugging, "The reason why I am here is not because we must cooperate with your company, but because we all have a common enemy - Lin Feng. If it were not for Lin Feng, I would never come here."

.”

Kallasvuo thought for a while and nodded slowly. Indeed, Microsoft is so powerful that there is no need to cooperate with Nokia. On the contrary, the two parties have one thing in common, that is, the competitor is Lin Feng. This is a very troublesome and very annoying

Unhappy Lin Feng.

"President Ballmer, maybe we can have a good talk," Kallasvuo said.

After a long talk, Nokia and Microsoft reached an agreement. A press conference was held immediately, announcing that Nokia would fully cooperate with Microsoft to jointly develop a new smartphone. Microsoft would launch a 'windows-phone' system, specially created for Nokia.

It is a mobile operating system based on the windows kernel. It will be the best mobile operating system in the world. And next year, the first mobile phone based on 'windows-phone' will be officially launched. By then, it will be able to operate with the desktop

system, shared files.
