Super Tycoon - Chapter 875
【Blackberry and Samsung reach strategic alliance to expand mobile device management and security platform】
This news is a lot earlier than the previous life, and because BlackBerry is declining faster than the previous life. This year’s BlackBerry’s mobile phone sales may fall to the bottom. They launched two new models without splashing.
Last year, BlackBerry quickly declined, but no one expected that BlackBerry sales this year were so poor. In the first half of the year, only more than 4 million mobile phones were sold, and the third quarter was even worse, with less than 2 million mobile phones.
For some small companies, millions of units can also make a lot of money, such as some small domestic manufacturers in China, but for BlackBerry, 10 million is a baseline. If it is lower than this standard, it will inevitably lose money. Their company Operating costs are not comparable to small companies.
This is because BlackBerry still has some software revenue, otherwise it will be even worse.
In the previous life, BlackBerry became a pure software company, completely abandoned the smartphone business, and no longer made hardware. Zhang Yang also couldn’t understand why BlackBerry insisted on making a full keyboard and launched a full-touch phone early, perhaps not so.
But BlackBerry chose to form an alliance with Samsung, which was also a dazed decision.
It was through this alliance in the past that Samsung’s featured Android system was widely acclaimed, and mobile phone sales rose steadily, stabilizing the position of the industry leader in the smartphone market and never wavering.
This life is advanced, which also represents that Samsung may rise faster.
Chiduoxing had a tacit understanding with Microsoft before, forcing Samsung and LG two South Korean manufacturers to make choices. LG chose the Microsoft camp and received chip technology support from ARM and Intel.
Samsung chose the Zhiduoxing camp and received the support of Chaowei Eagle Weida chip technology.
Software and hardware are divided into obvious camps, everyone is fighting against each other. However, during this time, Samsung’s killing of LG has retreated. It is reported that if LG’s mobile phone business does not improve next year, it is ready to sell this business and aggressively attack the smart TV market.
Then Samsung will monopolize the South Korean market without any other companies competing. After all, the South Korean market is so large, Samsung’s stores are spread throughout the entire country of South Korea, and in terms of Korean development, no other company can match.
Zhiduoxing’s game product sales are now cooperating with Samsung. Samsung’s subsidiary is the general agent of the South Korean market, otherwise the sales will be much worse.
Chidosa Group once nailed a few nails in the South Korean market, but to no avail. Samsung is deeply entrenched in South Korea, and the Li family is also the top celebrity family in South Korea, not only in business but also in politics.
“Chairman, if BlackBerry cooperates with Samsung, you are not afraid of being swallowed by Samsung? What do they think, it is better to cooperate with Motorola than Samsung.”
Li Junsheng saw the news and felt that the helm of BlackBerry was faint. But think about how if the people at the helm of BlackBerry can really see the market, how can it lead BlackBerry downhill?
“Have we not contacted BlackBerry before?” Zhang Yang remembered that he had told him about it.
“Has been contacted, but they refused, and did not give us the opportunity to negotiate at all. Either let them join the Zhiduoxing Group, or avoid talking, of course we did not agree.”
“They seem to be too worthy of BlackBerry, a company that is going downhill, not operating well, and may go bankrupt at any time, want to take advantage of us?”
Li Junsheng sneered. The BlackBerry is too taken for granted. What is valuable in the eyes of BlackBerry is actually easily replaced.
Because many BlackBerry technologies are based on their BlackBerry system. For a system that has already been replaced, how much effort and cost does it take to transplant the relevant software platform, Zhiduoxing can develop it by itself.
Even if the initial function can not be compared, but it can lay the foundation. Many of the software in the Zhiduoxing platform are not powerful, but the number is large. What functions do you want? You can find them in the Zhiduoxing software store, and many are free!
“Chairman, then do we have to determine whether to adjust Samsung to be the first competitor in the mobile phone market?”
“Okay. When Nokia insisted on the launch of Symbian and Microsoft dual systems, it actually lost its features. Nokia is also adjusting the industry’s focus, and they will reduce their investment in mobile phones.”
“This year our plan is to completely crush Motorola and Blackberry, Chang Ni and LG, and if possible, Samsung and Nokia will become our biggest competitors, especially Samsung.”
“Nokia’s strategy was wrong before. They paid too much attention to production costs, too much to selling prices. With this strategy, Nokia used to have a magnificent landscape, but their profit margins were too low.”
“And Nokia did not complete the absolute occupation of the European and American markets, and began to vigorously develop the African and Central Asian markets, which is also a strategic mistake.”
“If not, we will not develop so well. Their mistakes also made us. At that time, Nokia thought that there were many companies in the Southeast Asian market, Samsung, LG, HTC and other companies competing, as well as Motorola, Songxia, We can’t develop businesses like Ximenzi.”
“They absolutely can’t think of it, we will be the ultimate winner. Nokia’s branding is very successful, quality and cost-effectiveness are their labels~www.mtlnovel.com~ But you see people who buy mobile phones now, basically two or three years It will change to a new model, and it may be faster in the future. Mobile phones don’t need such a long life cycle because communication technology is constantly improving.”
“Next year, the 4G standard will definitely be passed, and when the time comes, the mobile phone will be replaced. What should the mobile phone do so hard, and affect others to change the new machine.”
“This year we have to reduce the production capacity of cheap phones. If Nokia, Samsung, etc. like it, let them be better. We are focusing on smartphones and launching two entry-level smartphones, as well as mid-range and high-end ones. The feature phones still focus on taking photos. And standby time, do not make luxury phones.”
Luxury phones are indeed good, the market is not big, but the profit margin is high. But after all, the products belonging to the niche circle can’t be sold very high, and they don’t help the promotion of the brand, and it will be difficult to expand the market in the future.
It is that Zhiduoxing can launch some high-end intelligent flagship machines to establish its position with performance. Samsung can beat Nokia in the past, and this Zhizhixing can also be even easier, after all, Zhizhixing system is now mainstream.
“Chairman, in our China market, do you want to suppress other brands? Now some small brands are also starting to get involved in smartphones, don’t let them develop.”
“You talk to Lao Duan to solve it. You can also ask Chen Mingyong’s opinion. At the end of the year, I hope to hear good news.”
