Rebirth 1999: Opening the Age of Black Technology

Vol 2 Chapter 1007: Open IOS, Cook's gamble

Latest URL:

Apple's initiative to open the IOS system has instantly aroused global attention.

The tech world calls out "Apple took off its underwear." Do you know what that means?

It means that all mobile phone manufacturers can use the source code of the IOS system in the future, and they are free to modify it or copy it.

Apple's most valuable things are not those messy peripherals. If those gadgets are not tied to Apple, no one will ask for ten yuan for a set.

Apple's most valuable system is its system. Consumers who have used it know that this program is really good, and they don't know why it works. It doesn't get stuck when you open more programs, and it doesn't get too stuck from the beginning of use until you buy a new phone.

In contrast, Android and Microsoft's systems are really far behind.

Of course, since the Firefly system came out, IOS has paled in comparison.

The media were not idle either, and wrote a lot of analysis reports, basically focusing on one theme, that is, the Apple mobile phone has been pushed into a corner by Changtian Technology, and the system had to be opened.

The outside world generally speculates that Apple has two intentions for opening up the IOS system. One is to master the background systems of more mobile phone manufacturers after the opening.

The second intention is that an open system does not mean leaving it alone. Apple can shift the center from manufacturing to program technology, and provide corresponding services to those manufacturers to collect money.

Only Apple knows that its real purpose is to completely disrupt the entire mobile phone market. Once the system is opened, many manufacturers will seek cooperation for the sake of differences. At that time, Hanhai Mobile will no longer be the only one in the market. Together, these manufacturers will form a force that cannot be ignored.

Xia Guo's domestic mobile phone manufacturers are in trouble. Those small manufacturers don't have so many worries about living alone. They can just follow Changtian Technology, buy systems, buy accessories, and do OEM if they can't do it.

But the kind of ambitious big manufacturers can't do it. They are not willing to lose the Xia country market, and always want to regain their market share.

Among them, Blue Factory, Green Factory and Xiaomi are the most entangled. The domestic market basically has no status for their own mobile phones, and they don't want to just be an OEM and follow Changtian Technology.

There is a very realistic reason behind this, that is, the capital does not agree. The purpose of capital investment in green factories, blue factories and Xiaomi is for high returns. This kind of return does not necessarily have to sell 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 can be cashed out. Sometimes you can even buy short and sell short by yourself, enter with your left hand and exit with your right, artificially manipulate the rise and fall of the stock price, and make money on both sides.

Now that the blue factory and the green factory are dying, it is difficult to increase their performance, so how can they make a profit?

The capital behind these two factories even has capital from the United States, and they are all listed on Chinese concept stocks. They want to lie flat, but the United States does not agree.

There have been fierce disputes within the three companies, and the opinions of many parties are not unified. In the end, black warriors appeared in the stock markets of Green Factory and Blue Factory, controlled the shares, and reached a resolution to negotiate with Apple.

Xiaomi, a manufacturer with a background in technology, has its own ecological chain, and the control of shares is relatively good. There is no crisis of shares for the time being, but Xiaomi’s ecological chain is obviously not as good as the fireflies in the vast sea. It has the highest degree of entanglement. Independent and wants to integrate into Changtian Technology.

Because the development of Changtian Technology in recent years is of great significance to a technology company like Xiaomi, many of its technologies are derived from Changtian Technology, adding the results of its own personalized ideas, relying on this secondary innovation Xiaomi's market value has also risen very quickly, much better than the days of the blue factory and the green factory.

Xiaomi is still arguing internally.

"If we go to Apple for the system, we can create more personalized programs and services from another perspective, and we will become another type of company, a company specializing in information services. The mobile phone business will also benefit from this. .”

"As expected of a person with a product background, he doesn't even understand the most basic technical principles. What does it mean that the program background doesn't understand? With Apple's program, there will be no secrets in the background. It will definitely leave a program back door. It would be easy to destroy it."

"We will modify the program for our own use, but we won't accept all of them."

"Fart! The house was built by other people. You can use it for decoration without changing the original structure of the house. So what if the windows are sealed, and the load-bearing wall can't change its position. It will fall if you smash it! The procedure given by others That's the principle, understand?"

"What's the use of knowing 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 from Xia Guo. Besides, if Apple's technology is so good, will it be forced to this level by Changtian Technology? You really can't tell the difference king!"

Compared with Xiaomi who is engaged in technology, the blue factory and the green factory do not have so many technical entanglements. The blue factory and the green factory are essentially assembly machine companies. They are not like manufacturers, but more like sellers, so they are called Changtian Technology was squeezed so severely.

The two companies sent teams to Apple to negotiate.

Sure enough, free is the most expensive. Apple’s asking price is 5% of the profit of the mobile phone, and there is a whole set of follow-up service agreement. After doing this, no matter how the business of the blue factory and the green factory is, Apple can earn a fortune.

Apple's calculations are very clear, and it will not kill manufacturers, but the profit margins left will not be very high.

"This is too much. Our profit itself is not high. If we still need to pay and receive follow-up services on a regular basis, it can barely work." The delegation looked embarrassed.

Apple has already prepared a statement: "Your factory has a high market share, and it is also a famous brand in Xiaguo.

Therefore, it is more suitable for your company to cooperate with us. With its own platform, it can definitely improve the product to a higher level. If those small companies come to us, to be honest, we don't even want to do it with a profit of 10 points. There is no need for cooperation with such companies.

Besides, you can use this cooperation to build momentum and expand your influence, and then there will be advertisements coming to your door, and the stock will have room to operate. Presumably your company also hopes to have good news to increase the stock price, right? "

The delegation's face turned red and then pale. Apple has almost touched their foundation. The reason for this is not difficult to understand. Those well-known international capitals have made multiple bets. If they buy shares in blue factories and green factories, they may not buy shares in Apple.

"Don't hesitate. Your company doesn't have its own personalized technology products. If you don't want to sell mobile phones, you will have to close the door. Besides, your profit margin itself is low. We want 5%, and the absolute amount is not much. We didn't make any money.

Our company can guarantee that the most advanced system will be given to you, and the update will give priority to your company. "Apple is like a snake that tempted Adam and Eve.

The green factory and the blue factory can finally accept it. Anyway, they rely on quantity to win, and the profit margin is not high. No matter how much they give, there is not much difference.

When Blue Factory and Green Factory negotiated and returned to Xia Country, they immediately started a marketing campaign.

All of a sudden, the advertisements of the blue factory and the green factory were overwhelming, with a variety of tricks. The focus of the publicity was naturally how smooth and advanced the mobile phone equipped with the IOS system would be launched.

Viaducts, highway intersections, TV, Internet, games, financial platforms, and some street-facing stores in the county have all hung up advertisements.

The means of advertising even sank to taxis in county towns and tricycles in townships. They posted advertisements and paid 90 yuan a month.

This is really all-pervasive. The advertising expenditures of Blue Factory and Green Factory are already hard to predict. Everyone can see that this time it may be a desperate attempt.

After Chen Xiao saw the news, she shook her 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 They don't care at all, they are far behind Huawei, and even Xiaomi is much better than them."

All the senior executives of Changtian Technology hate that iron cannot be made into steel. Such crotch-prone enterprises have existed for a long time in Xiaguo. One counts as one.

The development of Changtian Technology in recent years has driven countless companies to complete product technology upgrades, almost handed over to their mouths for teaching, and if they want to develop, there will be overseas orders, as long as they are willing to change, they can take a ride. However, under such an environment, the blue factory and the green factory still do not intend to change.

To put it bluntly is laziness, to put it bluntly it is simply not willing to compromise for the sake of profit.

Obviously they can go to the world with Changtian Technology to earn money from foreigners, but Blue Factory and Green Factory chose to return to Xiaguo and continue to engage in malicious competition at low prices.

"We can't let these two companies get used to it, cut off the technology, cut off the orders, and starve them!" Wang Xiang was quite angry.

"What they do is tantamount to driving other smaller companies to a dead end. We must be prepared not to let too many small companies go bankrupt. I plan to expand the scope of production and let small mobile phone companies produce some other products at the same time. , to increase their income. They still have the technology for small appliances, and they won’t starve to death.” Wen Qi came up with a solution.

Chen Ling wasn't too angry, he could see the essence of the matter.

Even if the blue factory and the green factory are not coerced by foreign capital, I am afraid that those local capital may not necessarily choose to follow in the footsteps of Changtian Technology.

It's better to be a chicken than a queen. In the small world I created, those high-level people are gods, controlling the life and death of employees.

After binding with Changtian Technology, the position has not changed, and even the income will increase, but the mentality has changed, and I always feel that I have become the younger brother of Changtian Technology.

The big moves of the blue factory and the green factory naturally aroused the attention of many parties. At the regular press conference of Changtian Technology, a reporter asked: "How does Changtian Technology see that the blue factory and the green factory will be equipped with the IOS system? What do you think?" Will this affect Changtian Technology's mobile phone?"

Shen Wei sighed in her heart how boring these reporters are, is such a thing worth asking? Not to mention the blue factory and green factory equipped with IOS, even Apple has been wiped out by Hanhai Mobile.

The quality control of the blue factory and the green factory is much worse than the quality control, and the material performance is probably less than half of that of Apple. What threat does such a company pose?

But we can’t be so straightforward when doing business: “Changtian Technology does not comment on the business strategies of other companies. Our company always takes scientific and technological progress to benefit mankind as its base idea, so that mankind can have a better future.”

Changtian Technology understated it, and the netizens did not understate it, and turned into internet meme one by one.

"Don't talk about this reporter. I'm embarrassed to read it. Is there any effect? ​​Would a student be worried that a poor student who failed the exam would threaten his position?"

"We didn't have to choose before, but now we only want to choose Changtian Technology."

"Green factories and blue factories have long been disliked. In the past, the market share and market value were among the top five in Xiaguo. Looking at the configuration of mobile phones, there is not a single domestic one. The chip is from the United States, the lens is from Samsung, and the system is from the United States. Android, this Isn’t it nonsense? I dared to make a mobile phone case?”

"Borrowing the building, the mobile phone cases are all processed by small factories in the Pearl River Delta, but they only use the logo of the blue factory and the green factory. This level~www.readwn.com~Tsk tsk."

"Occupying huge resources without technological innovation and without 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 is not for Changtian Technology, the average price of the entire mobile phone is now unknown. How outrageous!"

When Blue Factory and Green Factory saw that they were scolded, they were not angry at first, but very happy, black and red are also red! Someone scolding proves that there is a lot of attention, so more sailors personally went out to attack netizens, posted some articles about blue factories and green factories, and at the same time stepped on Changtian Technology.

These are all common methods. Those sailors have no sense of right and wrong at all, and dare to say anything for money. Netizens couldn't stand it and scolded back. In this way, those sailors read more articles and recovered more, and the sailors were happy to receive money.

Later, netizens became smarter. As long as there are such articles and replies, they will not restore them. They will report the matter directly, and the atmosphere of the whole network will be a little better. In Chen Xiao's view, this is actually the purpose of the platform. At a high temperature, he indulged the navy to pour water, and even supported the team by himself, touching whatever was hot. When the time is right in the future, Chen Xiao will rectify this phenomenon, otherwise, there will be no outlet for everyone's hostility, and at the same time, everyone's values ​​will be biased.

Right now, Chen Xiao is focusing on another field, which is the development of full-road unmanned driving technology based on quantum communication.

Quantum communication is stable and fast. In addition, Changtian Technology has developed a bio-like neuron computing group. The driverless technology of the whole road 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. In theory, as long as all vehicles have quantum communication, everyone's driving will be automatically planned, and the probability of traffic jams is very small.
