Chapter 192 Warwick's bleak future

(No typo is changed, wait for fifteen minutes before reading.)

On the surface, Warwick and Google reconciled to make the MATE40 equipped with Xiaoyuan's voice assistant successfully sold in Europe, which is not a problem, because this kind of reconciliation is a win-win situation.

Warwick makes money, source code companies make money, and major apps in the United States make money, but Google doesn’t make money.

Google may have some agreements with major apps to obtain a portion of profit from advertising profits and payment services, but this profit is almost negligible compared to the share of the source code company.

Is Google a great man who looks at you with pitiful Warwick, so I let Warwick go?

The world of technology and capital is very cruel, and it is a life-and-death struggle.

In this market, only the eldest son survives, and there is no position as the second son and the third son.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to count on Google to be kind.

If Warwick sells mobile phones honestly, it and Google will definitely be in peace and make their own money.

But when Warwick got involved in the system and ecosystem, Google wouldn't be so kind.

Now Xiaoyuan's voice assistant's market is getting bigger and bigger in Europe and its profits are getting bigger and bigger. Zhou Xiao always feels that the American technology oligarch represented by Google is raising pigs, and it is fattened and killed.

With this idea, Zhou Xiao took the initiative to call Yu Jiangdong, senior vice president and consumer business CEO of Warwick.

This time, Zhou Xiao called with his private phone.

Yu Jiangdong seemed very happy to receive a call from Zhou Xiao.

Warwick's MATE40 still achieved remarkable results when its chip production is insufficient and can only be used with AB models (mixed with Liankefa and Kirin), and the source code company made an indelible contribution. The first person Yu Jiangdong wants to thank is Zhou Xiao.

"Mr. Zhou! Hello, hello!" Yu Jiangdong is currently in a meeting in the company, but after receiving a call from Zhou Xiao, he immediately left the conference room and went outside to answer the phone.

Zhou Xiao said: "Mr. Yu, I want to know the content of Warwick and Google's negotiations in Europe. Although I should not ask about the content of your negotiations, I think this is related to the survival of the source code company overseas."

Yu Jiangdong said: "Mr. Zhou, I will pass the information to your company's email address, and let my vice president He Bin go to Jiangcheng tomorrow to explain some of the situation to you."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xiao felt it was necessary to learn about the situation in the European market by himself.

"Brother Kai, Brother Kai!" Zhou Xiao shouted.

Seeing that no one answered, Ma Xin shouted loudly: "Fatty Wang!"

Wang Kaidodo came from the office, "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Ma."

The company's performance is good, and Wang Kai has some people under him, so many logistics service work are not required to be done by Wang Kai himself.

Now that the income is higher and the work is less, Fatty Wang is getting fatter and fatter, becoming a greasy middle-aged man.

"Do you want to lose weight?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"The company still has this benefit?" Wang Kai was happy.

"Well, a ten-day European tour, lose weight while traveling." Zhou Xiao arranged a task for Wang Kai and said, "You can find a few brothers, take Shen Dan with you, and go to Europe to learn about the actual market of Xiaoyuan's voice assistant. Although the source code company has tasks in Europe, we do not have the most direct understanding of the European market. I hope your research can provide some help in the company's decision-making."

Wang Kai knew that this task was extraordinary and he was not joking, "I'll do a research plan right away."

The next day, He Bin rushed to the source code company for an interview with Zhou Xiao.

Zhou Xiao learned all the content of the negotiations between Warwick and Google.

Warwick compromised on certain patents and paid Google's patent fees. Google made concessions on MATE40 and Xiaoyuan Voice Assistant, allowing Europeans to use Xiaoyuan Voice Assistant on Warwick.

In the short term, Google is making a big profit.

Google and Warwick have been competing for the patent for several years, and now that Warwick makes concessions, Google will get a considerable net amount.

But in the long run, the sale of Xiaoyuan's voice assistant Warwick MAET40 in Europe will seriously endanger Google's interests.

He Bin said: "We should not naively think that Google and the tech giants in the United States have such a good intention to allow Warwick to participate in their games."

He Bin looked at Zhou Xiao helplessly and said, "Mr. Zhou, the most fundamental reason why they let Xiaoyuan's voice assistant enter the European market is that they have attracted the potential of Xiaoyuan's voice market. Xiaoyuan's voice is irreplaceable, and Google and Apple are eyeing it."

Zhou Xiao asked with a smile: "So, are you waiting for Xiaoyuan's voice assistant to blossom everywhere in Europe and have a huge user base, and waiting for the source code company to be harvested by the American technology company when it has huge profits in Europe?"

He Bin didn't expect Zhou Xiao to see the problem so thoroughly. "Warwalk relies on Xiaoyuan's voice assistant to compete for the European market, which is actually a very failure! But there is no way. Mr. Zhou also knows the current situation of Warwick. We don't even know if there will be a new mobile phone with better performance at this time next year."

Of course, Zhou Xiao knew that when designing a chip that is worth a lot of price, no one dared to take orders, and he built himself but had no ability. He developed a relatively awesome phone, but GMS was banned by Google. He finally relied on Xiaoyuan's voice assistant to turn over and win a battle in Europe, and he also held the meal and had no last meal.

According to the current trend, Warwick may indeed withdraw from the high-end market next year.

He Bin knew that Zhou Xiao was worried that Xiaoyuan's voice server is now in the hands of Europeans, and the voice assistant is also operating in accordance with the security and privacy rules set by the US technology company (Google).

Google has opened up Xiaoyuan's voice assistant to enter the European market, but in fact it is using European profits and the standards it has set to tie Xiaoyuan's voice assistant step by step.

At the right time, especially when most European consumers are using the plug-in-free version of Xiaoyuan Voice Assistant, Google and other Western technology companies can completely tighten the ropes in their hands and ask for prices from Warwick and source code companies.

If the source code company will make 500 million euros in Europe every year in the future, Google asks you to ask for 100 million euros of protection fees, do you give it or not?

If you don't give it, Google once again banned Xiaoyuan's voice assistant from Android in the name of privacy. At that time, European consumers were accustomed to using the plug-in version of Xiaoyuan's voice assistant, and it was difficult to return to the era of downloading plug-ins by browsing the wall. If you don't give it, you will lose 400 million euros in Europe's profits.

If the source code profit in Europe in the future reaches more than 102 billion euros, Google hopes that you will only retain a small part of your shares and sell Xiaoyuan Voice Assistant from Europe and even overseas to Google at a considerable price. Will you sell it or not?

Of course, you can't sell it, but you'll completely lose the European market and a lot of wealth you've already obtained.
