Apple's initiative to open up the iOS system instantly attracted global attention.
The technology community calls out "Apple has taken off its underwear." Do you know what this means?
This means that in the future, all mobile phone manufacturers will be able to use the source code of the IOS system, and they can modify it or copy it as they please.
Apple's most valuable thing is not those messy peripherals. If those gadgets are not bundled with Apple, no one will ask for a set of ten yuan.
The most valuable thing about Apple is its system. Consumers who have used it all know that this program is really awesome and they don’t know how it works. It doesn’t get stuck when you open multiple programs, and it doesn’t get stuck from the beginning until you buy a new phone.
In comparison, Android and Microsoft systems are really very different.
Of course, since the Firefly system came out, IOS has been dwarfed by comparison.
The media have not been idle and have written many analysis reports, basically with one theme, that is, Apple mobile phones have been cornered by Changtian Technology and have to open up the system.
It is widely speculated that Apple has two purposes for opening up the IOS system. First, after opening up, it can master more backend systems of mobile phone manufacturers. This is a way to accumulate strength and use the IOS system to occupy the market so that Apple can survive.
The second intention is that opening the system does not mean leaving it alone. Apple can shift its focus from manufacturing to programming technology and collect money by providing corresponding services to those manufacturers.
Only Apple knows that its true purpose is to completely disrupt the entire mobile phone market. Once the system is opened up, there will be many manufacturers seeking cooperation for the sake of differentiation. By then, Hanhai Mobile will no longer be the only one in the market, and there will be many Together, these manufacturers will form a force that cannot be ignored.
Domestic mobile phone manufacturers in the Xia Kingdom are in a tangle. Those small manufacturers have no worries about being single. They can just follow Changtian Technology and buy systems and accessories. If it doesn't work, it is also very satisfying to work as an OEM.
But the same cannot be said for the big and ambitious manufacturers. They are unwilling to lose the Xiaguo market and always want to regain market share.
Among them, Blue Factory, Green Factory and Xiaomi are the most entangled. In the domestic market, their own mobile phones basically no longer have the status, and they do not want to just do OEM and follow Changtian Technology.
There is a very practical reason behind this, that is, capital does not agree. The purpose of capital investment in green factories, blue factories and Xiaomi is to achieve high returns. This return does not necessarily require selling mobile phones, but it is definitely based on the market share of selling mobile phones. above.
As long as the market share is high enough, the market value estimate will be high, and then the stock price can be increased and cash out. Sometimes you can even buy and sell short by yourself, going in with your left hand and out with your right hand, artificially controlling the rise and fall of the stock price, and making money on both sides.
Nowadays, both blue and green factories are dying, and their performance is difficult to increase. How can they still make profits?
The capital behind these two factories even comes from the United States, and they are both listed on China Concept Stocks. They want to settle down, but the United States will not agree. Even if they lose money, they will continue to support these two companies, which has muddied the waters in Xia.
There have been fierce disputes within the three companies, and many parties have different opinions. In the end, black warriors appeared in the stock markets of Green Factory and Blue Factory, took control of the shares, and reached a resolution to negotiate with Apple.
Xiaomi, a manufacturer with a technical background, has its own ecological chain, and the control of its shares is relatively good. There is no crisis of shares for the time being. However, Xiaomi's ecological chain obviously cannot beat Hanhai's Yinghuo. It has the highest degree of entanglement. I think I am independent but want to integrate into Changtian Technology.
Because the development of Changtian Technology over the years is of great significance to technological companies like Xiaomi, many of its technologies are derived from Changtian Technology, adding the results of its own personalized ideas. Relying on this secondary innovation With its capabilities, Xiaomi's market value has also risen very quickly, which is much better than the days of Blue Factory and Green Factory.
Xiaomi is still quarreling internally.
"If we go to Apple for a system, we can create more personalized programs and services from another perspective. We will become another type of company, a company that specializes in information services. The mobile phone business will also benefit from this. .”
"As expected of a person who comes from a product background, he doesn't even understand the most basic technical principles. What does the background of the program mean? If you use Apple's program, there will be no secrets in the background. It will definitely leave a program backdoor. When the time comes, It would be easy to cause damage."
"We will modify the program for our own use, but we won't accept everything."
"Shit! Houses are built by others. It's useless for you to decorate them. It doesn't change the original structure of the house. So what if the windows are sealed. The load-bearing walls can't change their positions. They will fall down if they are smashed! The procedures given by others That’s the principle, do you understand?”
"What's the use of understanding it or not? We can't rely on Changtian Technology for the rest of our lives!"
"Is it right to go to Apple? Why not go to Changtian Technology? At least they are all from Xia. Besides, if Apple's technology is so good, will it be pushed to this level by Changtian Technology? You really can't tell the difference between big and small. king!"
Compared with Xiaomi who are engaged in technology, Blue Factory and Green Factory do not have so many technical entanglements. Blue Factory and Green Factory are essentially assembly machine companies. They are not like manufacturers but more like sellers, so they are called Changtian Technology is squeezed so seriously.
The two companies sent teams to negotiate with Apple.
As expected, free is the most expensive. Apple's asking price is 5% of the profit of the mobile phone, and there is a complete set of follow-up service agreements. With this, no matter how the business of the blue factory and the green factory is, Apple can make a profit.
Apple has made a very clear calculation and will not force manufacturers to death, but the profit margins left will not be very high.
"This is too much to ask for. Our profit itself is not high. If we have to pay regular payments and receive follow-up services, we can barely operate." The delegation looked troubled.
Apple has already prepared a rhetoric: "Your factory has a high market share and is a well-known brand in Xia Country.
Therefore, it is more suitable for your company to cooperate with us. With its own platform, it can definitely bring its products to a higher level. If those small companies come to us, to be honest, we don’t want to do it even if they offer 10 points of profit. There is no need to cooperate with such companies at all.
Besides, you can definitely use this cooperation to build momentum and expand your influence. Then there will be advertisements coming to your door, and there will be room for stock manipulation. I guess your company also hopes that there will be good news to increase the stock price, right? "
The delegation's faces turned red and white. Apple had almost figured out their foundation. It is not difficult to understand the reason. Those internationally renowned capitals have made multiple bets. If they invest in blue or green factories, they may not invest in Apple. With a little relief, many secrets will no longer be called secrets.
"Don't hesitate. Your company doesn't have its own personalized technology products. If you don't find a way to sell mobile phones, you will have to close down. Besides, your profit margin itself is low. We want 5%, which is not much in absolute terms. We didn't make much money.
Our company can guarantee that we will provide you with the most advanced system, and your company will be prioritized for updates. “The apple representative is like a snake that tempted Adam and Eve.
The green factory and the blue factory finally accepted it. Anyway, they rely on quantity to win. The profit margin is not high, so no matter how much they give, there will be little difference.
When Blue Factory and Green Factory negotiated and returned to Xia Country, they immediately started a marketing campaign.
For a time, the advertisements from Blue Factory and Green Factory were overwhelming and varied. Naturally, the focus of the promotion was how smooth and advanced their upcoming mobile phones equipped with IOS system would be.
Advertisements have been hung on viaducts, highway intersections, TV, the Internet, games, financial platforms, and some street stores in the county.
The advertising method even extended to taxis in the county and tricycles in the towns. They posted advertisements and paid 90 yuan a month.
This is really pervasive. The advertising expenditures of Blue Factory and Green Factory have been difficult to predict. Everyone can see that this time they are just desperate.
After seeing the news, Chen Xiao shook his head and said: "These two companies are hopeless. These two companies are basically advertising companies. Their energy, money and intelligence are spent on how to tell good stories and advertise. Engage in technology I don’t care at all, it’s far behind compared to Warwick, even Xiaomi is much better than them.”
The senior executives of Changtian Technology hate that iron cannot be made into steel. This kind of company has been with Xia Guo for a long time. They copy it if they can, and buy it if they can't. If they can't buy it or copy it, they make their own specious and shoddy products, which can defraud Xia Guo. One counts as one.
The development of Changtian Technology over the years has led countless companies to complete product technology upgrades. They are almost given step-by-step instructions. If they want to develop, they will get orders for overseas assignments. As long as they are willing to change, they can get a ride. However, under such an environment, Blue Factory and Green Factory still do not intend to change.
At best, it's laziness; at worst, it's simply unwilling to compromise for the sake of profit.
Obviously they can go global with Changtian Technology to earn money from foreigners, but Blue Factory and Green Factory chose to return to Xia Country to continue engaging in low-price and malicious competition. It is really impossible to support the wall with mud!
"We can't coddle these two companies, cut off technology and orders, and starve them!" Wang Xiang was quite angry.
"What they are doing is equivalent to driving other smaller companies to a dead end. We must be prepared to prevent small companies from going bankrupt too much. I plan to expand the scope of production and allow small mobile phone companies to produce some other products at the same time. , to increase their income. They still have the technology for small household appliances, and they will never die of hunger." Wen Qi came up with a solution.
Chen Xiao wasn't too angry either, he could see the essence of the matter.
Even if the blue and green factories are not coerced by foreign capital, I am afraid that the local capital may not choose to follow the footsteps of Changtian Technology.
I would rather be the mouth of a chicken than the queen of a cow. In the small world created by myself, those senior executives are like gods, controlling the life and death of employees.
After being bound to Changtian Technology, my position has not changed, and my income will even increase, but my mentality has changed. I always feel like I have become the younger brother of Changtian Technology.
The big moves of Blue Factory and Green Factory naturally attracted a lot of attention. At Changtian Technology’s regular press conference, a reporter asked: “How does Changtian Technology think Blue Factory and Green Factory will be equipped with IOS systems? What do you think?” Will this affect Changtian Technology’s mobile phones?”
Shen Wei lamented how boring these reporters were. Is such a thing worth asking? Not to mention the blue and green factories equipped with IOS, even Apple was wiped out by Hanhai Mobile.
The quality control of the blue and green factories is much worse than that of the green factories. The material performance is probably less than half of Apple’s. What threat does such a company pose?
But business talk cannot be so straightforward: "Changtian Technology does not comment on the business strategies of other companies. Our company has always been based on the concept of scientific and technological progress benefiting mankind, so that mankind can have a better future."
Changtian Technology downplayed it, but netizens did not downplay it, and one by one turned into the Internet's mouthpiece.
"Don't talk about this reporter. I'm embarrassed when I read it. Is there any impact? A god of academics would worry about a poor student who failed the exam threatening his position?"
“We didn’t have a choice before, but now we just want to choose Changtian Technology.”
"I have long been dissatisfied with the green and blue factories. In the past, the market share and market value were among the top five in Xiaguo. When I looked at the configuration of mobile phones, there was not a single one made in China. The chip is American, the lens is Samsung, and the system is American Android. This Isn’t that nonsense? Why don’t you just make a mobile phone case?”
"Let's just say that the mobile phone cases are all processed by small factories in the Pearl River Delta. They just use the logo of the blue factory and the green factory. This level is amazing."
"Occupying huge resources without carrying out technological innovation or developing our own manufacturing industry is false prosperity. In the long run, we will completely distance ourselves from others in high-end mobile phone products. If it were not for Changtian Technology, the average price of the entire mobile phone would be unknown. How outrageous!”
When Blue Factory and Green Factory saw that they were being scolded, they were not angry for the first time, but very happy. Black and red are also red! If someone scolds it, it proves that it has attention, so more trolls went out to criticize netizens in person, posted some articles boasting about blue factories and green factories, and at the same time came to criticize Changtian Technology.
These are common tactics. Those trolls have no concept of right and wrong and dare to say anything for money. Netizens scolded them back if they couldn't bear it. In this way, those trolls would read their articles and recover more, and the trolls would be happy to receive money.
Later, netizens became smarter. As long as there were such articles and replies, they would not restore them and report them directly. The atmosphere on the entire network became a little better. In Chen Xiao’s view, this was actually done intentionally by the platforms. Some platforms just wanted to pay attention to it. He indulged the navy and even raised his own team, touching whatever was hot. When the time is right in the future, Chen Xiao will rectify this phenomenon. Otherwise, everyone's anger will not be able to find an outlet, and at the same time, everyone's values will be biased.
Chen Xiao is currently focusing on another area, which is the development of all-road autonomous driving technology based on quantum communications.
Quantum communication is stable and fast, and Changtian Technology has developed a biologically-like neuron computing group. The autonomous driving technology for all road sections already has a solid underlying technology. What needs to be done is the ability to respond and judge, which requires training AI. , feed the data. Theoretically, as long as all vehicles have quantum communication, everyone's driving will be automatically planned, and the probability of traffic jams is very small.
