Chapter 383: Intel and Nokia each have their own achievements, the irritable Mr. Qiao
The reason that Yusup Deva hesitated to speak was that only Kirin could manufacture high-density batteries.
He was not sure whether Kirin would sell batteries to them.
"If you have something to say, just say it to me." Craig Barrett scolded.
What he hates most is when others only speak half of what they say.
"Currently, only Kirin Batteries can produce high-density batteries. I'm not sure whether Kirin Group will sell batteries to us," Yusup Deva said bitterly.
"Have we had any history with them? Why didn't they sell it to us?" Craig Barrett asked.
"As far as I know, Kirin originally made computer motherboards. In order to suppress Kirin, those manufacturers in Wanwan used the power of Wall Street to put pressure on us and put Kirin on the blacklist. You personally approved this matter." Yousup.
Deva said awkwardly.
╭(╯e╰)╮
There is such a thing, why don’t I remember it?
em.
At this time, Craig Barrett was more depressed than anyone else.
"And we banned them twice," Yusup Deva added.
⊙▽⊙
The old man was heartbroken again.
"Banned twice?" Craig Barrett asked doubtfully.
He really didn't remember this at all.
"The second time was because of Goldman Sachs. They invested in a social networking company. In order to suppress Kirin, Goldman Sachs used the power of the board of directors to prohibit any company from selling servers to Kirin." Yusup Deva said.
⊙▽⊙
This time Craig Barrett was completely confused.
The company actually banned me twice.
Now that the company is competing with Kirin again, how can Kirin sell batteries to them again?
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether they sell batteries to us or not," Yusup Deva continued.
"The reason." Craig Barrett asked.
"We sell chips, not mobile phones. We make prototypes just for display. Let the mobile phone manufacturers handle the battery issue themselves," Yusup Deva said.
Craig Barrett really wants to slap him to death. Why are you talking so much nonsense since it has nothing to do with it?
...
After Intel's prototype was made, it was sent to Seattle as soon as possible.
Bill Gates looked at the prototype in his hand and complained: "This thing Intel made is really ugly. It would be weird if it could be sold on the market."
After Bill Gates put down his phone, he looked at his chief operating officer and asked: "How are things going with the ecosystem?"
"Most companies have agreed verbally, but in fact they are still in a wait-and-see state. Before the sales volume comes out, they are probably not willing to invest." Edward Platt replied.
"These people pay too much attention to immediate interests. Look at how united the people in China are. Even before Kirin's mobile phone is launched, hundreds of companies have joined the ecosystem, including Bangzi and Washbasin Chicken.
"Bill Gates complained feebly.
Complaints are complaints.
Isn’t it a characteristic of Europeans and Americans to put interests first?
Who makes their labor expensive?
"..." Edward Platt didn't know how to answer.
There is a reason why these companies are unwilling to develop WP mobile phones.
The first reason is because WP’s mobile phone is too stretched on the crotch.
Dopod launched its first WP mobile phone in 2002, but its sales can only be described as appalling.
The second reason is the problem of piracy.
Like windows, winodwsphone suffers from severe piracy.
Hackers can easily crack WP software, which also results in WP software not being sold at all.
Who would be willing to develop WP software if there is no profit?
But Qilin’s Pangu system is different.
The Pangu system adopts a closed mode. The system cannot install software from outside. All software must be installed through the mall, which protects the interests of the software well.
As long as their own interests are protected, everyone is willing to develop software for this platform.
"President, I think we should learn from Qilin and change WP into a closed system, which can effectively prevent piracy." Edward Platt said.
"This is a good suggestion." Bill Gates nodded.
He has also thought about this issue. It is not difficult to change WP to a closed version. Although it cannot completely prevent piracy, it can still play a certain role.
The system of the fruit phone in the previous life was not closed. It can be cracked if you really want to.
After the conversation between the two ended.
Bill Gates sent an email to the development department, asking the development department to change the WP system to a closed system as soon as possible.
...
Fruit company...
Mr. Qiao has become more and more irritable recently.
Why?
Because fruit mp3s cannot be sold at all.
Nowadays, mobile phones are used as MP3 players. Who will buy fruit MP3 players? Even Sony will withdraw from this market, let alone their fruits.
"What the hell are you designing?" Mr. Qiao said angrily as he tore up the designers' drawings.
The iPhone project has been launched.
But Mr. Qiao was not satisfied with the appearance designed by the designer at all.
The designers were all trembling with fear when they saw the irritable Mr. Qiao.
"I redesigned them all. The appearance must be simple. Only one button is enough, and it can be assisted by software.
You must know that our users are all fools, and they cannot understand things that are too complicated. Don’t design based on your ideas, but design based on the users’ ideas.” Mr. Qiao walked out of the R&D room angrily after saying this.
Because of Cao Mang's little butterfly, the fruits were not as smooth as in his previous life. Mr. Qiao faced huge pressure from the board of directors because of the failure of MP3.
If he cannot come up with a product that can convince the board of directors, he is likely to be kicked out of the fruit company again.
...
At the same time, the Saipan Alliance is not idle either.
With the efforts of MediaTek, Nokia and ARM.
In just a few months, they developed an armCPU that matches Symbian.
This CPU integrates brand-new instructions, which are all designed for Symbian, which not only greatly improves the running speed, but also greatly reduces the overall power consumption of the mobile phone.
Although the CPU has been developed, mass production will take a certain amount of time. After all, the tape-out alone will take two to three months.
...
At the same time, two pieces of great news came from Cao Mang.
The first thing is that mobile phone licenses are fully liberalized.
According to the original trajectory, this matter should have come out in October, because Cao Mang handed over the 4G network technology matter, which also caused the matter to be postponed for two months.
Another good news is that Nuwa's 90-nanometer chip has been successfully developed.
The only regret is that Kirin Semiconductor does not have the ability to produce 90nm chips.
"Zhu Youfang, please contact Bangzi and Neon Country and ask them how much it costs to OEM 90-nanometer chips?" Cao Mang said.
