Top of the Great Era

As a new mobile phone manufacturer, it is not easy for Astar to gain a firm foothold in the world-class field. The best way is to survive in the cracks.

Look for opportunities to break through the contradictions of several giants.

In fact, not only Asda, but also many established technology giants, weak businesses are looking for opportunities in the cracks.There is no absolute enemy, only absolute cooperation, and all companies are competing and cooperating.

For example in the browser field.This is the world of Microsoft IE, occupying 90% of the market share.In order to compete with Microsoft, Apple and Google will cooperate to compete with Microsoft.

For example, in the field of search, Google is the industry leader.At this time, Microsoft and Apple will cooperate to fight against Google.

The most typical is the field of smartphones.

In the beginning, Microsoft took the lead, and Apple and Google began to cooperate; later, Apple launched the iPhone and became the leader in the smartphone industry, and Microsoft and Google began to cooperate.

Now, Google's Android system has shown its dominance, and Microsoft and Apple have turned their rivalry into friendship, from a competitive relationship to a cooperative relationship, and they must fight against Android together!
This is the "Anti-Google Alliance".

Zhou Shaoning said: "The batch of Nortel's patents mainly revolve around professional fields such as wireless, wireless 4G, data network, optics, voice, Internet, service equipment and semiconductors, and are closely related to mobile Internet. Google was the first to make a move. It is said that a It was negotiated at the beginning, and the deal was to be completed at a price of 9 million US dollars. But the development of Android was too fast, and it was feared by the industry, and the anti-Google alliance appeared.”

Zhou Buqi disapproved, "Apple is too petty, what happened to Jobs? He is afraid of Google?"

Zhou Shaoning said: "Apple is the core of the anti-Google alliance, but it is not the only core. It was jointly initiated by Microsoft and Apple, and it was initiated by Ballmer."

Zhou Buqi is used to this kind of European and American commercial competition system, which is quite different from domestic ones.

Domestic business competition is often due to human factors.

For the sake of face, many big bosses would rather not make money than cooperate. For the so-called "ambition", they put their personal face above the interests of small shareholders.

Just like the relationship between BAT, if Baidu wants to compete with Alibaba in e-commerce, all Baidu’s businesses will be cut off from Ali; if Penguin wants to compete with Baidu in search, the two parties will give up all business cooperation.

Either black or white.

The whole society is full of simple and vulgar diode thinking from top to bottom, and everything is one size fits all.

Only Zhou Buqi led Ziwei Star to always promote the concept of "competition and cooperation". While competing with Baidu, Penguin, Ali, Sohu, Shanda, NetEase and other companies in a certain business, they can also cooperate in other businesses. .

Overseas business competition is more of a gray area between black and white.

Asda actually adopts this kind of strategy. Among giants such as Apple, Google, Microsoft, Sony, Hyundai, and Nokia, there should be competition and cooperation. friend.

Zhou Buqi understands it better now. Microsoft CEO Ballmer is a "tough guy" and his style will be more aggressive. It is not surprising that he came to organize and plan this anti-Google alliance. "Apple and Microsoft have joined forces?"

Zhou Shaoning said: "Not only Apple and Microsoft, but also Sony, Blackberry, and Ericsson."

"Sony?"

"Yes, Sony."

"It seems that Microsoft has made up its mind."

Zhou Buqi now understands why Google can't win Nortel and can only buy Motorola.

Microsoft is determined to win!
Microsoft and Sony are deadly rivals. They have been fighting each other for more than ten years, and patent lawsuits are going on almost every day.There are desperate fights in many fields.

For example, a digital disk project that Microsoft just announced to abandon recently.

Traditional DVDs only have a resolution of 720P. If you want to have a higher resolution, you need to upgrade the technology.At that time, Microsoft introduced the HD-DVD high-definition standard, and Sony introduced the Blu-ray high-definition format.

This battle has been fought for four or five years, and Blu-ray has dominated the market. Microsoft has completely failed and announced its exit.

Then there is the home console industry.

The whole world is basically a competition between two giants, Sony and Microsoft. In recent years, Microsoft has developed rapidly and has taken away a lot of Sony's territory.

The relationship between the two parties is in dire straits.

But in order to "anti-Google", Ballmer actually gave up his prejudice, attracted Sony, and wanted to work together to fight against Google.It can be seen that Microsoft has made a lot of determination and is bound to win this game!
With so many giants united, it is no surprise that Google will lose the bid in the end.

However, there was one thing that aroused Zhou Buqi's concern, "Asda uses the Android system, and wants to join the anti-Google alliance... is this feasible?"

Zhou Shaoning said with a smile: "There is nothing impossible. Sony is also a member of the Android camp. Didn't it also join? The key is to get Microsoft's consent."

"How to fight for it?"

Zhou Buqi thought for a while, and felt that there were not many bargaining chips to negotiate with Microsoft.

Zhou Shaoning smiled and said, "Microsoft's mobile phone system!"

"What?"

Zhou Buqi was stunned.

Zhou Shaoning said: "Microsoft wants to target Google. In the final analysis, it still wants to promote its own mobile operating system to check and balance Android. There are too few manufacturers in the Microsoft camp. The reason why Sony will join is because Sony promised to launch several models equipped with Microsoft operating systems. system smartphone."

Zhou Buqi frowned slightly, "Esta wants to follow up?"

Zhou Shaoning said: "The brand of Aster has already been decided. This kind of high-end Android phone should not be changed too much. But Motorola can do it. You can make low-end and mid-end mobile phones as you like, and you can carry out machine-sea tactics more indulgently. As long as We can continue to maintain a good cooperative relationship with Google, buy Motorola’s mobile business together, Astar get the mobile phone business, and then launch several Motorola-branded smartphones equipped with Microsoft systems.”

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "You are really confident!"

Zhou Shaoning said: "My greatest confidence actually comes from you. I believe that you can consolidate the cooperative relationship with Google. Even if Asda joins the anti-Google alliance, I hope you can mediate and keep Asda and Google. cooperation momentum."

Zhou Buqi smiled, "Okay, I will follow your command."

In his opinion, this matter is not too difficult.

Google's first strategy now is to develop social business, which is the highest priority within Google.Twitter, including his nearly 8% stake in Facebook, is his trump card.

Zhou Shaoning was very happy, and then said with a heavy tone: "Seriously, Asda must join this anti-Google alliance this time, otherwise it will surely fall into the trouble of constant patent lawsuits in the future. Once the lawsuit is lost, the US market will Blocked. Microsoft is very ruthless this time, they will only carry out their own authorization. If this opportunity is missed, Asda will be very troublesome in the future globalization development!"
