Rebirth 1999: Opening the Age of Black Technology - Chapter 774
The purpose of Google’s policy is to require all mobile phone manufacturers, as long as the application of Google series or application services, must be authorized and agreed by Google.
Although the Android system is free, a series of services and services developed by Google are not for you to use at will.
Now that other brands of Android phones can use a series of Google’s applications, it’s not that Google is healthy, but that Google hopes to build an ecological chain of the Android system. This ambition is the same as Apple’s ambition to build an ecological chain of ios.
Among the many Android phone manufacturers in the world, Samsung is undoubtedly the son of Google.
Google provides its own excellent services and applications to Samsung, and every time the latest Android system update is pushed to Samsung first.
Therefore, Google’s introduction of the application authorization policy this time does not have much impact on the entire Android ecological chain.
But the impact on the non-Android ecological chain is very large.
Including Apple’s ios and Hanhai Technology’s Firefly operating system.
Google’s apps. In the early years, it has become the most frequently used application in the Western mobile Internet market.
Everyone said that the information will definitely use the Google engine.
Gmail accounts for more than 80% of the incoming and outgoing mailboxes.
Google’s weather shares data with European weather bureaus, and Google has to have its own big data algorithms to help European weather bureaus improve the accuracy of weather forecasts.
googlemap has the most accurate map data in the west*, and has deep cooperation with gps.
With its extremely fast response speed and rich functions, Google Chrome has also become the browser with the largest number of mobile users in the world.
For a long time in the past, both Android users and ios users were inseparable from the Google series of applications.
Now even if Changtian Technology has launched Hanhai mobile phone and Firefly operating system, Western users cannot do without these applications.
After Google’s policy came out, Apple immediately contacted Google and completed the corresponding application preparation and licensing system in accordance with Google’s requirements.
In fact, everyone with discernment knows that this policy launched by Google is not aimed at Apple, but at Changtian Technology.
No Google series software. There is no impact on domestic users.
The country has long been vigilant in terms of mobile Internet security. No matter how coercive and enticing Western countries are, they must develop their own set of application ecology.
Therefore, we have Baidu, Gaode, various network mailboxes, uc or QQ browsers, etc., almost getting rid of the control and monopoly of the Android series of applications on users.
But Western users are different.
Now basically leave the Google department, then the function of the mobile phone will be lost by more than half.
Now the ball has come to Changtian Technology and Hanhai Technology.
Jobs was very anxious, and immediately used his personal relationship in the United States, hoping to reach a settlement with Google in private, and let Google also authorize the Firefly operating system to use Google’s series of applications.
But Steve Jobs fully felt what it means to take tea and cool people.
If Jobs is now working for a Western technology company, then some of his connections may still have some role to play. …. .
! In Jobs, he worked for Changtian Technology, which is a technology company in Xiaguo, and has formed a competitive relationship with many technology companies in the West.
Therefore, these connections are worthless in the face of interests.
Of course, Jobs’ efforts are not ineffective.
His former partner and current Google executive Carl Vinson invited Jobs to meet in California, saying there was still some room for improvement.
The business of Hanhai Mobile in Europe must not be affected.
Jobs immediately went to California with his team, hoping to buy some time for Hanhai Technology.
At the same time, Chen Xiao has been following Google’s response and discussed countermeasures with Wang Xiang.
Because Wang Xiang has just returned from Europe, he is very aware of some application habits of European users.
Wang Xiang said: “According to the current European environment, it is difficult for us to let Xia Guo’s application replace the Google department.”
“There are two main reasons, one is that users’ application habits are difficult to change, especially gmail and Google Engine.”
“On the other hand, Google and Europe have extensive cooperation. If we want to allow domestic application manufacturers to join our application matrix to provide services for European users, we will definitely face the European market access threshold. I do not believe that the United States will not interfere with this.”
Wang Xiang’s decomposition is very reasonable.
Just as the two sides were discussing, Song Yi walked in with a worried look on her face.
Song Yi walked in and said: “I just got the news*, instagram, twitter, face, skyle and other applications have successively issued announcements, saying that for the safety and information security of users, only ios and android systems will be supported in the future. , and will no longer support other operating systems.”
Song Yi said: “I just read the announcements of these companies separately, and there is not much time left for us, such as Facebook, which only gave us three months. From now on, Facebook will not Updates to support other operations, but after three months, others will close the portal for other operating systems to link their servers.”
“The time left for several other applications also ranges from two months to half a year.”
After Song Yi finished saying this. Breathing is a bit messy.
She believes that Google’s announcement and the announcement of these applications to terminate the service of the Firefly system are definitely not a whim, nor a coincidence, but an intentional one.
All of this is to cut off Hanhai Technology’s overseas sales chain, forcing Hanhai Technology to make some compromises, or to retreat to the country of Xia and become a domestic mobile phone manufacturer in Xia, not a global mobile phone manufacturer.
Chen Xiao looked at the lists handed by Song Yi. Whether it was Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, these apps had strong social attributes.
That is, in these applications, users have their own circle of friends, their own friends and space.
The advent of the mobile Internet era has made virtual social circles more and more important, and users have also spent a long time in these applications to establish their own circles.
Before the “circle” of the Hanhai system is established, if you let the user make a choice, then the user will inevitably give up the Hanhai mobile phone. After all, the network and social network are invaluable.
Chen Xiao sneered in his heart. …. .
! Interesting now.
Companies like Samsung, Google, and Apple have all joined forces to drive Hanhai Technology off the gaming table.
Chen Xiao said: “Talk! Talk to the other party, first talk to Google, ask Google’s intentions or conditions, and then talk to each of these application companies. I remember we just negotiated with instagram a few months ago. The cooperation agreement, instagram is changing now, if there is no Apple factor, I don’t believe it.”
At the end of the meeting, Chen Xiao said, “Negotiate first, then play cards.”
Chen Xiao expected that Apple and Google would make this move, but it was somewhat unexpected that they reached a unity so quickly.
To say that the two sides did not make mutual concessions that violated the principle in some places, Chen Xiao would not believe it.
Apple, Samsung and Google are under the covers at the application level. Actually it’s the best way.
In this way, they can successfully spare the European telecommunications company (European telecommunications company and Changtian Technology have a good cooperative relationship, and can stand on the side of Hanhai Mobile for their own interests), and directly draw wages from the bottom of Hanhai Mobile.
In Europe, Simpson also felt the chill in the mobile and mobile Internet markets.
After the announcement of Duojia Application Company, it attracted global media and reported it comprehensively.
This makes consumers in Europe, who have just been interested in Hanhai mobile phones, change their minds when they hear that their favorite applications cannot be used on Hanhai mobile phones.
Although Hanhai mobile phone is good, but cannot use a series of social software, such a mobile phone loses its most important function.
The most important thing is that the size of these social applications is too large. Before there is a good replacement software, if you don’t use these social software and others are using it, then you will be out of touch with the circle around you.
The user’s wait-and-see also led to the stagnation of the sales of Hanhai’s mobile phone, which was selling very well a few days ago, and Simpson has nothing to do at this moment!
In many Nokia experience stores and communication stores in Europe, many users have begun to ask whether Hanhai mobile phones support Facebook and other applications.
“Does the Nokia Hanhai phone really not support Google apps?”
“I heard that Facebook and Twitter are also cutting off other operating systems from their servers after three months.”
“Is this a rumor or is it true? Is Nokia enough to give an accurate answer?”
Now Changtian Technology does not have an accurate answer, let alone Nokia.
Simpson had no answer.
After you didn’t get the answer you wanted. More than 95% have given up on buying plans.
What Simpson didn’t expect, after Google and several application companies do not support the Firefly system, there are still things to happen.
Samsung’s legal department has filed lawsuits in many European countries such as Germany and France, and also filed a complaint with the European Union’s intellectual property department.
The content is that Hanhai mobile phone, including appearance, voice assistant and other places, infringes Samsung’s intellectual property rights, and some intellectual property rights were originally shared by Samsung and Nokia, and were used by Changtian Technology.
Unparalleled blessings and misfortunes do not come singly.
The ancients were absolutely right.
Watching Hanhai’s mobile phone sales in the European market plummet, Simpson suddenly felt like he was riding a roller coaster and was powerless. …. .
! At this moment, Jobs also met his old friend Carl Vinson in California.
As original partners, the two have come all the way from their youth.
In the end, a very different path was chosen.
Two people sitting together drinking iced coffee.
Jobs also did not have any greetings, and made his request directly to Carl Vinson.
Google is required to give Hanhai Technology fair treatment.
The reason is that Hanhai mobile phone has the best quality users in the world, and the number of users is still increasing rapidly.
At this moment, more than ever, Jobs is pressing for a deal with Google.
Because by the time he got to the coffee shop, he had gotten more bad news from Simpson.
Carl Vinson was very happy to meet Jobs.
Friendships between men sometimes become more precious over time.
But friendship is friendship, and business is business.
Carl Vinson joked to Jobs: In 2010. Google was forced to withdraw from the Xiaguo market. “
“This setback is a huge blow to Google’s global strategy, and it has completely changed the way Google executives view Xia Guo.”
“Since the two of us are old friends, I’ll be honest, there’s little chance that Google will change their minds.”
“But since you came to California in person, whether it’s me or our boss, I still hope to meet you.”
Jobs said with a smile: “I have also learned some conventional wisdom in Xia Guo for so long.”
“Xia Guo has a saying, sincerity is the best way to go, and there is another saying, where there is a will, things will come true.
“Whatever the outcome, I also hope to meet Mr. Sundar.”
Sundar is the current CEO of Google.
It was also his direct command to stop a large number of Google apps from supporting Firefly.
On day 2*, Jobs and Sundar meet at Google’s headquarters.
Sunda has no sincerity to cooperate with Changtian Technology and Hanhai Technology at all.
On the contrary, the conversation turned and threw an olive branch to Jobs.
Hope Jobs can join Google.
After all, Google also has its own mobile phone brand, but whether it is creativity or fame, it is far worse than the popular Samsung and Apple.
With Jobs’ ability and prestige, if he joins Google, he will definitely be able to make Google’s mobile phone shine.
Jobs brought up the topic again and said, “Sir, you should have seen the launch of Hanhai mobile phone,” “I always feel that whether it is the Firefly operating system or the Android operating system, our purpose is to make it more convenient for users to use mobile phones. “
“The Firefly operating system is very inclusive, and it is not that he wants to go his own way to let other applications or other operating systems have nowhere to go.”
“Instead, he makes other applications and other applications or operating systems directly inclusive. Learn from each other.”
“Mr. Sundar~www.mtlnovel.com~ I didn’t understand such an idea at first.”
“But since I joined Changtian Technology, after chatting with Chen Xiao and using Hanhai mobile phone, I realized that this is definitely a genius idea, and this is also the ultimate path of human mobile Internet!”
Jobs spoke earnestly.
But this is very ridiculous to Sanda and the executives behind him.
They feel that Firefly OS is trying to eat Android.
Before Sundar spoke, the executive behind him stood up and said, “Mr. Jobs, the mobile phone version of the Firefly operating system is currently used by no more than 20 million people worldwide, and the number of users of the Android operating system has already exceeded the number of users. 1 billion people.”
“The two operating systems are not at the same level, so I can’t understand what you just said.”
Another executive joked, Jobs said: “Of course we can cooperate. Google’s request is that Xia Guo should unconditionally accept Google’s operation in the Xia Guo market, and Firefly Technology will give up half of its shares. Give us.”
This time, I forgot that I came from the United States with Jobs.
Hearing this, Wen Qi’s face turned black.
