Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 463 GSTORE
In 2006, most mobile phone companies chose to build their own factories to produce their own mobile phones, but gradually, with the advent of the smart phone era, more and more mobile phone brands handed over mobile phone assembly to foundries .

It is really hard to say whether it is better to be an OEM or to build a factory yourself. It can only be said that there are two ways.Among the world's major mobile phone manufacturers in later generations, Apple is all OEM, while Samsung is all self-made, Huawei is partly self-made and partly OEM, and the sudden emergence of VIVO and OPPO is all self-made.Jiang Hui is more inclined to Huawei's method of part manufacturing and part self-made, so that no matter what happens, it is easy to respond flexibly.It's kind of a compromise.

"The prototype of GPHONE has come out, and it is less than a year away from mass production. It is also time to develop various applications of the mobile phone. Lao Zhu, Liao Yun, please communicate with the companies under the group so that They prepare plans to develop mobile apps for their respective websites, and after the year, they will call a meeting with the senior management of each company, and I will confirm whether everyone's plans are suitable."

Compared with today's feature phones, the biggest difference between smart phones is that smart phones, like personal computers, have an independent operating system, and users can install software, games and other programs provided by third-party service providers by themselves, and constantly update them through such programs. The function of the mobile phone is expanded, and the wireless network access can be realized through the mobile communication network.

At present, there are no real smart phones on the market, which means that there are no various installation software suitable for smart phones on the market.If the GPHONE was only bare and useless when it was launched, then it would not be much different from ordinary functional phones.So Jiang Hui felt that it was time to start deploying mobile apps.

In fact, the development of mobile APP is also simple. The companies under Guanghui Group have already involved the content of the main mobile phone software in the future.

For watching videos, there is Tudou, for playing games, there is Guanghui Video, for watching live broadcasts, there is YY Live, for communication, there are Xiaonei.com and Guanghui Weibo, for reading novels, there is Diandian.com, for mobile payment, there is Guanghui Payment, for group buying, there is Meituan. Douban.com, Autohome, Qunar, etc., almost all commonly used mobile phone applications are involved.If I have to say that there is still something missing, it is the lack of an APP and mobile browser for watching news.

Jiang Hui plans to set up an independent company to develop the news app in the future, but in the early stage, it can be placed under Guanghui Film and Television. At least there is no need to worry about entertainment news.After a year or two, when the time is right, we will operate independently and establish a company similar to Toutiao.

In terms of mobile phone browsers, Jiang Hui thought of the UC browser of later generations, which is the earliest and most successful company in mobile browsers.Although it was just established in 2004, it is still a very small company, but it is a promising enterprise.

Jiang Hui is going to ask Brilliant Investment to come forward and spend tens of millions to acquire the nascent UC.Of course, it is not necessarily a 100% acquisition, and the founders are not necessarily willing.But at least it must be able to reach the point of holding.

In addition, there is another product currently used by netizens more, that is, Penguin and Du Niang.These two companies will have shares, and it should not be difficult to push them to create a mobile version.Besides, this is also a win-win situation. Brilliant Mobile has more applications to choose from, and Penguin and Du Niang have also stepped into the promising wireless Internet industry early.

"Okay, I'm also going to report this to you. Our GPHONE uses such a good processor and memory, and has such a big screen, but there are really no applications to install, and there is no way to play GPHONE. advantage comes," Zhu Zhengfeng said.

"I have already basically conceived this part when I started the Guanghui mobile phone project. First of all, Guanghui Mobile needs to develop an application download application, which is the APP store. Let GPHONE users download various applications on it." , Jiang Hui said the most mainstream way of later generations.

"APP?, Application? Mr. Jiang, your idea is too good. Recently, I have been worrying about how to make up for this shortcoming of Guanghui mobile phone. I didn't expect you to have already thought about it. I have more confidence in our GPHONE." , Zhu Zhengfeng said with a smile.

"I am going to name our GPHONE APP store GSTORE. I have a hunch that this is a market with unlimited potential."

"Since it's a shopping mall, is there a charge for selling things?" Wang Mengyu interjected.

"Children can be taught," Jiang Hui said with a smile.

"Mr. Jiang, you want to say that girls can be taught, but I am a real girl," Wang Mengyu said with her little tongue out.

"Okay, children can teach. In China, people are not used to paying for software at present. We can selectively arrange some apps to be downloaded for a fee, but most of them should be free. But in the European and American markets, I plan to let Most of the APPs are charged for downloading. However, when companies develop soft APPs, they have to worry about not only developing the Simplified Chinese version, but at least simultaneously developing the English and Japanese versions.”

"Can we let other people's APPs be sold on GSTORE, and then we will take a commission?".

"It seems that I put you in the glory mobile phone is right. In the future, you should also look at the business of GSTORE first. The needs of each user are different, and there can be countless applications of APP. It is impossible for us to develop so many applications by ourselves, so it is inevitable to open the mall.”

"Mr. Jiang, if the mall is opened, it will involve system interface issues. We need to publish some of the interfaces to outside developers." When it comes to technology-related content, Zhu Zhengfeng is still very familiar with it.

"Yes, I plan to publish the interface for all developers of our Android system, and share the source code with other mobile phone companies interested in smartphones for free."

"Ah? Then we have worked so hard to develop such an operating system, isn't it cheaper for others?" Wang Mengyu said in surprise with her mouth open.

"Our open source code is not 100% open. The source code of the kernel is definitely not open. Other manufacturers can see that the source code that can be used only refers to some aspects of program development and system optimization."

"Even so, it's free, aren't we losing a lot?" The little girl really has the attitude of a protagonist, and it seems that she really regards the interests of the company as her core interests.

"Although it is free, we do not provide this operating system for free. If mobile phone manufacturers need to use the Android system, they need to sign an agreement with the Guanghui Group. This agreement can contain some restrictions, such as not being able to delete the Guanghui Group in the Android system. Group APP services, etc. Besides, even if the exchange is purely based on market share, Guanghui Group can still make a steady profit, because sometimes in the era of big data, there is no need to think about how to make money, and the market and traffic are enough.”
