Jason responded unintentionally, but mid-sentence, he slowly put the mutton on his lips back into the bowl, turned his head and glanced at Shen Dapeng, his eyes fixed, and he didn't speak for a long time.
He knew what Shen Dapeng meant, which was nothing more than comparing different flavors of hot pot to different smartphone operating systems.
Although he has never tasted other flavors of hot pot, he also knows that the tastes of black pepper pasta and tomato pasta are different. They are just metaphors. They are similar. If the two pastas are mixed together, it may be like what Shen Dapeng said just now.
Four different things, neither fish nor fowl.
"The flavors of hot pot are different, and consumers choose according to their personal preferences. Isn't that great? Why must all types be mixed together to make something with a variety of flavors and weird tastes?"
Shen Dapeng tapped the rim of the pot with his chopsticks, "Sichuan-style hot pot has become famous in recent years precisely because it is in line with today's young people's love for excitement. In addition, Sichuan-style hot pot has been updated in recent years.
Only when the taste is more in line with the public can it become famous throughout the country."
Shen Dapeng seemed to be telling a story, telling everything eloquently, without any emotion or looking at anyone, just enjoying his own meal.
"Do you think it's enough to just do one thing well?"
Jason's attitude has changed slightly. He is less bored and impatient than before, and more curious.
"It lies in essence rather than in quantity, in depth rather than in breadth."
Hearing the change in Jason's tone, Shen Dapeng looked at him seriously, "If I had a team full of cutting-edge talents like yours, I would rather make an operating system that is completely different from what is currently on the market, making it more convenient.
More comprehensive and more humane.”
"Convenience, comprehensiveness, humanity...can you tell me a little bit about it?"
Jason gradually became curious, the grudge just now disappeared, and the atmosphere between the four of them became more harmonious.
"Nowadays, the operating system of smartphones is too complicated. Application software must be searched and downloaded and installed on the computer. Firstly, it is difficult to operate. Secondly, the content is too single and boring. If the newly developed system allows more and better installation
Is more convenient software for users to choose more attractive to users than compatibility?"
"There is also the hardware of the mobile phone. Can the screen be made larger? Can the pixels and audio be optimized? Can the Internet speed be accelerated? Can the buttons be eliminated and turned into a more advanced capacitive touch screen?"
As Shen Dapeng talked more and more, Jason's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and there was a bit of surprise on his handsome face. He was obviously just a freshman, how could he know so many things?
Especially the capacitive touch screen, which is a new project developed by many leading electronic companies in the United States in recent years. Although the technology developed and used is not yet mature, it is a commercial secret among various companies. Now from Shen Dapeng's mouth, why
But so easy?
Thinking carefully about what Shen Dapeng mentioned just now about focusing on building an independent and completely different operating system, I felt some inexplicable impulse and enthusiasm in my heart. While I was questioning the concept that the team has adhered to for many years, I also felt that what Shen Dapeng said was right.
It makes more sense.
"Do you think this general environment can be changed?"
Jason is in the mobile phone system industry and knows more about these. Nowadays, smartphone software applications are developed by third parties commissioned by various mobile phone manufacturers, or developed by some individual enthusiasts. The user experience is uneven, and the search and installation are difficult.
Very difficult.
"Jason, let me ask you, you are an open source system. Even if the application software made by other mobile phone manufacturers is compatible with your system, will you give them money? Will the money they make from application software be given to you?"
"probably not."
Jason shook his head hesitantly.
"That's right. Open source code is for the popularization of operating systems, but the mobile phone hardware used by major manufacturers is different. In the end, the application software developed is still not compatible with each other, and you have no way to interfere. You can't do it yourself.
Do it? I’m afraid I’ll be exhausted.”
In fact, what Shen Dapeng said is not entirely true, but at least in the early stage of the smartphone market, this was the form. Each manufacturer worked on its own, and the software developed was only for its own model, and was not compatible with other manufacturers, or even different models from its own factory.
.
"Then you have other ideas?"
Jason is already interested in Shen Dapeng's ideas. For talents like him, sometimes figuring out a tangled matter is far more important than how much money he makes.
"My idea is actually very simple. I think we can build a store that accommodates various application software. Users can easily download the software they need without having to search hard or consider compatibility issues."
Shen Dapeng slowly proposed a future success model: the application store has become an indispensable and important integrated function for future smartphones.
"It sounds simple. Even if we build a software store, how much energy do we have to invest in developing these software? It also requires a huge amount of funds, and there will be no profit at all in the future. This is not a smart approach."
Shen Dapeng changed the relationship from "you" to "us", which invisibly brought the two people closer, and Jason responded to "us" in the same way. He also put down his guard and resistance, and at least regarded Shen Dapeng as a friend.
"We are not free, so how can there be no revenue? Besides, we are just an application store, just a platform, and we do not develop application software ourselves! We authorize other companies to develop our software and put it in the store for consumers to download and use.
"
"Manufacturers can decide whether to charge for their software based on their actual situation, and we will also guide manufacturers on pricing. Some software can be fully free or limited free, with certain advertisements embedded in the software as revenue!
Finally, we share the income with the manufacturers according to a certain proportion, so that we can achieve a win-win situation."
“The most important thing is that we will distribute a development standard to all manufacturers, let them develop it once, and then they can maintain and update it on the original basis in the future without having to reinvest in research and development! And for us, the workload is also small.
For many, we only need to set up a quality inspection department to evaluate the applications on the store. If they are perfectly compatible with our company's various mobile phone hardware, they can be put on the shelves for sale. In this way, the user experience will be greatly improved."
"etc……"
Jason interrupted Shen Dapeng inappropriately, "Do you know the download speed and cost of the second-generation network standard used by mobile phones now?"
