Chapter 618 Nokia, you have found the wrong opponent (1 update)
Ollila has always been wary of Changtian Technology. Although the two parties cooperate, who knows when they will turn into competition with each other.
After the cooperation on mobile phone operating systems broke up, Nokia breathed a sigh of relief when it saw that Changtian Technology had been engaged in the PC field and did not involve its own interests.
But when Changtian Technology established Mozi Communications Co., Ltd. and entered the 3G communications field, it really caused Nokia to lose a lot of orders.
Even if the relationship is cooperative, it is also a relationship of competition.
This is how Ollila defines the relationship between Nokia and Changtian Technology.
Therefore, under Ollila's leadership, Nokia also began to put its eggs in different baskets.
For example, Changtian Technology's high-performance lithium batteries allowed Nokia to break out of the feature phone market and establish itself as the number one mobile phone company in the world.
At the beginning, Changtian Technology's lithium batteries accounted for more than 90% of Nokia mobile phone batteries.
In order to avoid being too dependent on Changtian Technology, Ollila now gives most of its lithium battery orders to companies such as Panasonic, Sony, Samsung and even Xiaguo's Biddy.
At present, Changtian Technology's lithium batteries only account for about 20% of Nokia mobile phones.
Another example is the production foundry integrated by Changtian Technology. Tiangong Technology Company was once Nokia’s largest partner.
70% of the mobile phones shipped by Nokia globally are produced by Tiangong Technology Company.
In recent years, with the deepening of globalization, major foundries have also emerged one after another.
In addition to Foxconn in Xia Guo, Jabil in the United States, Inventec in the Gulf region, Luxshare Precision in China, etc. have emerged one after another.
Foundries are the most intensive processing enterprises with the least technical content. The competition among them is not a competition in technological innovation, but a competition to continuously lower shipping costs.
Therefore, Nokia also distributed most of its mobile phone orders to Foxconn and other companies, reducing the cooperation space with Changtian Technology.
Eggs cannot be put in one basket. OEMs within Xia must be instigated to involuntarily compete with each other to lower their own costs.
Western companies believe in this set of concepts, and they have proven successful every time.
Nokia has also benefited greatly from the competition among Xia's domestic foundries, and its mobile phone production costs have been reduced a lot.
As for why mobile phone production costs have dropped, whether workers in Xia are earning less or using more crude and environmentally polluting technologies for production, Nokia doesn't care at all.
When Ollila saw the news that Changtian Technology acquired Bird and prepared to enter the mobile phone industry, it was similar to how Apple felt when later generations saw Foxconn acquiring VIVO or OPPO preparing to enter the mobile phone industry. Of course, she felt very unhappy.
The fundamental reason why Ollila is most unhappy is that he knows that Changtian Technology must have mastered the entire technical process of producing mobile phones during the foundry process.
If we produce mobile phones according to Nokia's standards, or even produce smartphones equipped with Symbian system, wouldn't that form a competitive relationship with Nokia?
Ollila will make one thing clear to Nokia executives - to put pressure on Symbian and prohibit Symbian from authorizing Changtian Technology and its Bird mobile phones to use the Symbian operating system.
Nokia is Symbian's largest shareholder, and Ollila believes that Nokia's request is not excessive.
Simpson, who has been appointed as Nokia's Asia-Pacific affairs specialist (vice president level), holds a different opinion.
Simpson was the first to deal with Changtian Technology, and he believed that friendly relations with Changtian Technology should be maintained.
After all, when Nokia was surrounded by Samsung and Motorola, it was Changtian Technology that provided Nokia with high-performance lithium batteries, which allowed Nokia to break through.
Although Nokia is now the global sales champion, it still faces competition from Motorola and Samsung, Sony, LG and other brands, so it might as well gain an ally.
Simpson said: "Why can Motorola, Samsung and other companies use the Symbian system, but Changtian Technology cannot?"
When Simpson said this, there was some compassion in his heart.
Simpson has been in contact with Xia Guo in the past few years, especially with Changtian Technology, and clearly feels that Changtian Technology is a company with unlimited potential.
It is far better to cooperate with such a company than to become an enemy.
Simpson added: "At the beginning, Changtian Technology also gave us the operating system developed by their organization for testing."
However, as soon as Simpson finished speaking, other Nokia executives began to complain.
"Mr. Simpson, can you still think of the cooperation conditions Changtian Technology offered us? There was no fairness at all at that time, and of course we can't give Changtian Technology fairness now."
"Why Samsung and other companies can use the Symbian system, Mr. Simpson should be clear. Changtian Technology is completely different from them." (Samsung, Motorola and other companies are interdependent on Nokia in mobile phone, communication and other patents. In addition, in
There is also extensive cooperation in other technology fields and they are stakeholders. It is absolutely impossible for Nokia to turn its back on others.)
"How can a junk operating system like Changtian Technology be compared with Symbian?"
Changtian Technology's Yinghuo OS mobile phone version has very high requirements for mobile phone hardware. The performance of Nokia's hardware was too low at the beginning, so the actual use experience was not good, and Nokia engineers regarded it as garbage.
Everyone's words to each other left Simpson speechless.
Simpson could only sigh deeply and left the meeting room.
Simpson's move made many people in the conference room feel angry.
Everyone is meeting for the benefit of Nokia and is unanimously open to the outside world.
Why is Simpson still speaking for Changtian Technology?
Someone said: "Did Simpson stay in Xia Kingdom too long and was bribed by Changtian Technology?"
"Don't say that, man! Simpson undergoes a corporate integrity review every year."
Simpson's opinion was not mainstream, so the meeting continued.
Ollila asked again: "What brand of mobile phone does Changtian Technology have? Have you applied to use the Symbian system?"
The assistant below reminded him kindly: "Waveguide mobile phone, sir."
"Yes, that's the waveguide phone."
The subordinate replied: "We have asked Saipan for relevant information before. The other party submitted an application for cooperation a week ago, and it has been put on hold by Saipan without a reply."
Olla nodded.
There is no need for him to give orders for the next thing.
The people below will know how to say hello to Saipan.
In fact, this time Bird's mobile phone applied to use the Symbian system, which is not what Changtian Technology said.
However, after Changtian Technology completely acquired Waveguide, it did not make any changes to the technical layer of Waveguide or the relevant personnel in the production workshop.
After restarting the mobile phone production line, the task of the relevant departments of Bird mobile phones was automatically triggered - to apply to Symbian Company to use the Symbian system.
Because the Bird Company has been doing this kind of thing in the past two years.
Some models of Bird's mobile phones have indeed received the Symbian system, and they can be sold on the market after being equipped with the system.
But this is not the norm.
Moreover, Saipan Company stipulates that mobile phone companies other than Nokia must apply for the application system on a case-by-case basis.
In other words, you need to apply according to each mobile phone model, not according to a certain company.
The person in charge of the relevant department of Bird did not know what the procedures would be after the company changed hands. He thought that the company would continue to apply for the use of Symbian mobile phones, so he continued to apply to Symbian and expressed his willingness to pay a reasonable fee.
Mobile operating system usage fees.
Of course, this application was rejected by Saipan.
Therefore, when Wen Qi fully integrated Bird Company, the people below pointed out that Symbian had rejected Bird's application to use the Symbian system, and asked: "Mr. Wen, do you want us to send someone to Europe to talk to Saipan's senior management?
Let’s have a serious talk?”
Seeing her subordinate reporting to the company like this, Wen Qi didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Because Wenqi participated in the entire high-level meeting of Changtian Technology, she knew the future development of waveguide.
Symbian is simply not an option considered by Waveguide and Changtian Technology.
Wen Qi said to her subordinates: "Ignore this email."
Wen Qi still reported the matter to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao even laughed at himself, "Nokia has chosen the wrong opponent. We produce feature phones, so how can we be qualified to use any operating system?"
Chen Xiao actually means something in his words.
On mobile phones, you can slowly lay out, and Nokia is not a competitor of Changtian Technology at all.
Nokia also chose the wrong opponent, because what killed Nokia was not Changtian Technology at all, but Apple, which was rising to madly seize the US market, and the upcoming Android camp.
The building is about to collapse, but unfortunately the people inside are still sleeping.
At the end of December 2007, before New Year's Day 2008.
Changtian Technology's first big move after acquiring Bird, a mobile phone named Bird Girl was officially released.
The chick is a feature phone.
But it also has its own advantages that make it invincible in the world.
One is for taking pictures and the other is for beauty.
The photos taken were made using a domestically produced Seagull 12-megapixel mobile phone camera.
Due to time constraints and no more reserved space on the motherboard, this time Xiaoniu’s phone only has one camera and no front camera.
But people have come up with solutions.
The outstanding designers of Changtian Technology made some mechanical changes to the camera so that the camera can be mounted in the groove on the top of the phone and can control its rotation.
In this way, the camera can be used as both a rear camera and a rear camera.
This is almost the world's first mobile phone with a "front camera", and the pixels reach 12 millionW.
The second one is, of course, women’s favorite artifact! One of the three most evil arts in the world—beautification!
Chen Xiao has been in business for two generations and summed up the principles of making money.
Three types of people make the best money - the elderly (healthy and longevity type), children (prospective type) and women (beautiful, beautiful, beautiful type)!
