Sprinkle coins every day

Tuesday, July 3.

Guge, the parent company of Android, issued an announcement claiming that the MILI operating system on the Maili mobile phone has changed the Android system too much, which has affected the reputation of the Android system and greatly reduced the recognition of the Android system.

For this reason, Guge put forward two rectification requirements to Maili Group.

First, consider taking back some of the authority to change the system authorized to Maili Group.

As a "free, open, and inclusive" operating system, in order to occupy the global market in the shortest possible time and realize the integration of the ecosystem, Guge has opened up the authority to change the system to all major mobile phone manufacturers.

Not only the MILI system, but also Xiaomi, Huawei, etc.

It is precisely because of the partial modification authority that the major mobile phone manufacturers belonging to the Android camp can develop matching operating systems according to the characteristics and needs of their respective products.

And now.

Gu Ge actually considered taking back Mai Li's system modification authority, which undoubtedly meant to revolutionize the MILI system.

Hard work is not evil.

Not only that, Guge also proposed that the overseas version of Maili mobile phone must be installed by default with the Guge App Store and Guge Browser instead of Maili Mall and Frog Browser.

If the first requirement is just a "struggle of spirits", then the second requirement is a pure "struggle of interests".

Although the Android system is claimed to be free, Guge is not really unprofitable. On the contrary, the Android system can bring Guge a lot of money every year.

And it is getting higher every year.

According to the revelations of the original space-time Oracle, the direct operating income brought to Guge by the Android system alone exceeds US$30 billion, not including indirect income.

It can even be said that it is the Android system that supports half of the post-Guge era.

The importance is evident.

Among them, the most important source of income for the Android operating system lies in the Guge app stores and Guge browsers installed in mobile phones of the major Android camps.

The former can charge major apps for sampling or channel fees.

As for the Guge browser, as mentioned earlier, the real income is through the built-in Guge search, and then obtain a lot of advertising revenue, which is also one of the main revenues of Guge.

It can be seen how profitable it is.

However, in the Chinese market, whether it is Maili or Xiaomi, they all use the banner of "localization" to change the Android system beyond recognition.

Whether it is the Guge app store or the Guge browser, there is basically no market.

This also led to the saying that Gu Ge's profit from the Android system in the Chinese market has always been a difficult problem. Yuan Shikong broke out, saying that Gu Ge is considering charging for the Android system.

Although it turned out to be a rumor in the end, it also reflected the revenue dilemma of the Android system in China from the side.

That's why Guge chose to settle for the next best thing. It doesn't require Maili mobile phone to install the Guge app store and Guge browser in China, but it must be installed by default in the overseas version.

That's very profitable.

Because whether it is in North America, or Europe, or even Southeast Asia, South Asia and other places, ancient songs have a very large popularity and market share.

Mobile phone users in these markets are also accustomed to using the Guge app store and Guge browser.

.........

Gu Ge's announcement immediately attracted worldwide attention.

"This is another giant, is it going to attack Maili Group?"

Before Guge, Maili had already fought against giants such as Gaotong, Pingguo, and Samsung overseas. Although there were victories and losses, the momentum and popularity were skyrocketing day by day.

Now we have such a strong enemy as Gu Ge.

It also allows overseas consumers to really feel the status of Maili mobile phone in the world.

"I didn't plan to buy it at first, but now that the old songs are out, I want to buy a wheat grain phone instead." This is a speech from a Prussian netizen, which resonates a lot.

Perhaps it is because Dream Fund, which is registered in Prussia, is also the major shareholder and sole investor of the Sprout Group, which has led to the good sales of Maili mobile phones in Prussia.

Prussia is also one of the most friendly markets for Sprout's products among the European countries.

Of course, there are also factors behind the joint promotion of Sunlight Holdings Europa and Dream Fund.After all, there is no love without a reason in this world.

Especially in a highly developed commercial society, consumers' preference for any brand, or just a subconscious choice, is actually the result of marketing.

otherwise.

Why can the advertising business support Internet giants such as Guge, Washbasin, and Tengda?
If it is said that overseas netizens are just watching the excitement, then after the news broke out, the Chinese Internet reacted particularly fiercely, and Chinese netizens immediately exploded.

"I'm sorry, Gu Ge is trying to kill the donkey?"

"Hey, you can feel the malice from the other side of the ocean through the screen. These so-called overseas giants, who usually pretend to be dogs, really come to a critical moment, and they really don't want to see others."

"Isn't Android claiming to be free, free, and open, and this is the result????"

"Gu Ge: That's all I said, do you really believe it?"

"What I'm worried about now is, will Guge's request affect the use of Maili mobile phones?"

"Probably not, at least not in China."

"Looking at this situation, it should be that Guge is jealous of the overseas revenue of Maili mobile phone, and wants to get a share of it. The so-called withdrawal of authority to change the system is the threat of Chiguoguo."

"According to this, the Maili Group has to bow its head and compromise this time?"

"Otherwise, what's the matter, who is using an operating system developed by others? Thinking about it now, it's not unreasonable for Meng Wang to criticize comprador thinking before."

"What I'm saying is, if you use other people's products, you must be prepared to be manipulated by others."

"So, you still have to be self-reliant!!!"

"Sprout has always been self-reliant and self-reliant. It's a pity that Sprout was born a bit late. It's impossible to say that everything can be self-sufficient."

"It can only be said that the teammates are not strong enough. In Yangyang Huaxia, besides Germination, is there no other company that can stand up? I am really crying!!!"

"I don't dare to think about it, Xiaomi, Tengda, etc., all feel very embarrassed!!!"

"Well, it's in the same line and belongs to it!!!"

For these companies that only know how to behave in a nest, netizens really hate iron but not steel.

"Looking back now, what Meng Wang said before is absolutely correct. It's like the car-hailing subsidy war that is still going on now. I would rather spend more than a billion yuan in the subsidy, and I don't want to devote myself to research and development."

"So, it's really hot to get this subsidy."

"Can it not be hot? As Meng Wang said, the wool obtained today will one day be returned by capital. And, it may even be cheaper for overseas capital."

"The air is shaking and cold"

"There is a saying, when there is an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent."

"What I'm talking about is that it's Germina who has been charging forward and defending consumers. It's really unreasonable for us to be so realistic."

"Then you can't stop receiving the subsidy, right?" Someone asked from the soul.

"Uh, this, haha, today's weather is really nice..."

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

.........

Germination Industrial Park.

Compared with the excitement of netizens, Germination's internal reaction to this matter was very calm.

When the news broke, Zhang Shuo was participating in a special investment meeting within the Sprout Group, comprehensively summarizing the investment results and investment experience of the past year, and planning the investment priorities and investment plans for the next stage.

The meeting was presided over by Lu Kai, president of the group.

Attending the meeting included senior vice president Lu Qi, senior vice president Gu Mingzhang, vice president Zhao Mingchuan, president of Pinxixi Group Du Qingqing, group investment director Luo Changan and others.

The specifications are not low.

Therefore, this special investment conference can also be regarded as an important step in the strategic transformation of the Sprout Group to the dual-engine drive of "investment + industry", and will be held every quarter in the future.

The main reporter is Luo Changan, the newly appointed investment director.

As the progress of the meeting progressed, it soon talked about the investment in the field of biopharmaceuticals by Germina Investment in the past six months, and the research and prospect of the pharmaceutical industry taking advantage of the investment opportunity.

In a word, the water in the pharmaceutical industry is very deep! ! !
"According to the information we have collected, in fact, many pharmaceutical companies, especially some big manufacturers, have secretly collected a lot of prescriptions from the people. Many of these prescriptions are said to have very good curative effects."

"But it's a pity that these prescriptions are all sealed by the pharmaceutical company, and no production is arranged at all."

"why is that?"

Zhang Shuo didn't understand, "Could it be because the prescription came from the private sector and couldn't pass the review of the relevant department?"

Drugs should be treated with caution.

Before a new drug goes on the market, it needs to go through various links such as discovery, research and development, testing, application, approval for marketing, and post-marketing monitoring.

In the experimental stage alone, three phases of clinical trials are required.

In particular, phase III clinical trials are the stage for confirming the therapeutic effect and also the key stage for providing the basis for the approval of drug registration applications.

This stage is the busiest and most concentrated part of the clinical research project, and also the most important step in the whole clinical trial, which often lasts for several years.

This shows how long it takes to launch a new drug.

"Not at all."

Luo Changan shook his head, "As long as these prescriptions pass clinical trials, there are no additional obstacles to the market."

"The most fundamental reason is that, from the standpoint of pharmaceutical companies, it is not that drugs with better efficacy are more profitable. On the contrary, those drugs with mild medicinal properties and average efficacy can bring huge profits."

"Um????"

Not only Zhang Shuo, but Du Qingqing and other executives also stared wide-eyed.

There is a feeling of ruined three views.

"Is this news true? It always feels a bit sensational." Du Qingqing said in surprise.

Because the Guochao brand support fund is under the name of Pinxixi Group, and at the same time accepts the guidance of the investment and financing department of the group headquarters in terms of investment business.

Therefore, Du Qingqing was also invited to participate in this investment seminar.

"It's a well-known fact in the pharmaceutical circle. Of course, after all, no one has actually verified it. At most, it can only be regarded as a rumor. I can't guarantee that it must be the truth."

Luo Changan responded with a smile, "But one thing is certain, that is, those prescriptions from the folk, especially traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, are basically in a state of dust and are rarely developed. The entire pharmaceutical industry is still superstitious about Western medicine. In the words of the pharmaceutical factory, even if the traditional Chinese medicine is produced, whether it can be recognized by the market is still unknown, and the risk is too great."

"Um!!!"

Zhang Shuo nodded, but he believed it five or six points.

Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, Chinese medicine and Western medicine, should have their own advantages and complement each other, but in reality, Western medicine and Western medicine have become the only one.

However, the facts have repeatedly proved that Chinese medicine has its unique features.

This is not normal.

As for how chaotic the pharmaceutical industry is and how high the moral standard is after the marketization of the pharmaceutical industry, it can be seen from a comment on the Internet——

"The couplet in front of the ancient pharmacy is to wish there is no disease in the world, but the modern pharmacy sells medicine and gives eggs."

Pharmacies are more densely opened than supermarkets.

The truth is too magical.

As for the emerging pharmaceutical platforms in the original space-time with the "Internet + Health" signboard, such as Jingdong Health, they just moved offline pharmacies online.

Simply change the soup but not the medicine.

Just like this, it is even more magical to pile up a market value of tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions.

"Is it possible to exert influence on pharmaceutical companies through investment. Not to mention turning to Chinese medicine in an all-round way, at least we need to make more attempts in this area so that good prescriptions will not be dusted?" Zhang Shuo asked.

"It's hard!"

Luo Changan shook his head and explained: "Those who are capable of developing new drugs are basically large and medium-sized pharmaceutical companies. Among these pharmaceutical companies, there are quite a few companies that are willing to accept investment from Germination."

"The problem is that if you want the invested pharmaceutical company to develop new drugs and intervene in the business strategy of the invested pharmaceutical company, you basically need to work hard in the direction of holding shares."

An investor who intervenes in operations is not a popular investor.

"Then take control." Zhang Shuo made up his mind, and turned to look at Lu Kai, "Just buy a moderate-scale pharmaceutical company, and we will do it ourselves."

Originally, he didn't want the Germination Group to end in person, after all, he couldn't eat too much.

However, the peers are really not to force.

There is no way, Zhang Shuo can only renege on his promise, and is ready to let Germination Group get involved in the pharmaceutical industry.

Germinal's entry into the pharmaceutical industry, in addition to promoting traditional Chinese medicine, has another advantage, that is, before the disaster in the original time and space comes, it can have more resources and do things within its capabilities.

"I agree!"

Lu Kai understood Zhang Shuo's thoughts very well, and nodded in response without thinking.

.........

After the investment seminar is over.

Gu Mingzhang, who had already received the news halfway, found Zhang Shuo and reported Gu Ge's new moves.

"Gu Ge is deliberately finding fault?"

After listening to Gu Mingzhang's report, Zhang Shuo frowned.

"It's kind of like that."

Gu Mingzhang nodded and explained: "According to the agreement signed by Guge and Huaxia in 12, within five years, the Android system must remain free and open to the outside world."

When Gu Ge acquired Motorola back then, because it involved anti-monopoly review, relevant departments in China also had to approve it.

During the approval process, in order to ensure that Guge will not treat domestic brands differently because it has its own mobile phone brand, the relevant departments asked Guge to sign an agreement that Android will be free for domestic brands within 5 years.

It can be said to be very foresighted.

This also led to the saying that after the expiration of the agreement in the original space-time in 17, news that the Android system would charge a fee continued to spread, although the result was nothing in the end.

"That is to say, 17 years ago, the ancient songs were actually unable to handle us?"

Zhang Shuo immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's almost like this. In the face of Gu Ge's unreasonable appeal this time, we can completely ignore it and treat it as a piece of waste paper and throw it into the trash can."

Gu Mingzhang is also rare and tough, obviously dissatisfied with Gu Ge's "temporary intention".

Too arrogant and too greedy.

If Maili Group really agreed to Gu Ge's two requests, it would be tantamount to becoming a fish on Gu Ge's chopping board and could only be slaughtered by Gu Ge.

The key point is that Xiaomi, Meijiu and other colleagues are all fine, but Mai Li was "sanctioned", and the target is too obvious.

If Maili Group really wants to agree, how shameless is it?

Once subdued, the brand image that Maili has finally established on a global scale is bound to suffer a severe setback, and the invisible loss will be even more severe.

So, on the surface, Gu Ge is making demands, but in fact, he is pushing the wheat grain group to the wall.

It is simply impossible to agree.

"Then make a good plan and try to turn this disturbing thing into a good thing."

Zhang Shuo vaguely realized that Gu Ge jumped out at this time and made such seemingly unreasonable demands. It is very likely that there are other forces behind him.

For example, Pingguo.

Or the Wolf Street Capital hidden behind these giants.

Its intention can be seen as a warning, warning the Germinal Group not to be ignorant of flattery, to eat meat by itself, but not to let Wolf Street Capital follow suit.

This set of gameplay is okay in China, but in overseas markets, Wolf Street cannot tolerate it.

Or just a trial.

But whether it is a warning or a temptation, from the standpoint of the Germinal Group and Zhang Shuo, they cannot be subdued.

It can be regarded as a transparent confession to Wolf Street——

It's not that the Germinal Group doesn't dare to think about it, it's just that they are pure and tough, and they want to make money even if they stand still.

Straight to the front!

"Chairman, what do you mean is to take the opportunity to launch the interest soil system?"

Gu Mingzhang also knows a little bit.

Although the research and development of the Xiyang system was not deliberately kept secret, it has not been publicized to the outside world. Except for the developers in the industry, the outside world actually does not know about the Xiyang system.

"is it okay?"

On this matter, Zhang Shuo had to respect Gu Mingzhang's professional opinion.

After all, if you really want to take the opportunity to launch the Xiyang system, it is almost tantamount to slapping Gu Ge in the face. It is also unknown how Gu Ge will react in the future.

Before the official version of the Xiyang system was launched, the Maili mobile phone was still inseparable from Android.

"should be no problem."

Gu Mingzhang's brain was running at high speed, and after quickly weighing the pros and cons, he finally gave an affirmative answer.

"Then do it!"

Zhang Shuo was determined, but a little excited.
