Extraordinary Genius

Chapter 1376 Africa is also a Market

SoftBank, arguably the world's largest investor in the IT industry, also has the largest number of IT companies in the world with holdings and shares.

With soft lines in place, XOS can pose a serious threat to Microsoft. Software Bank is arguably one of the most powerful software sales companies in the world, with the widest channels.

Feng Yu had no idea that Masahiro Tortoise could convince Sun Zhengyi to agree to let the software company under SoftBank to produce software products that support XOS.

But when Masao Tortoise last acquired Huaxia Software Enterprise, he put a huge halo on himself, and made a high profit for SoftBank. The directors of SoftBank were impressed by Masao Tortoise.

This time, Masahiro Tortoise suggested that if SoftBank could support Lenovo Silver Mountain, he was confident that Lenovo Silver Mountain would give the HOS base code publicly to SoftBank, then SoftBank could enter the development of the smartphone system.

Smartphones are gaining ground, and while there is still a big gap compared to traditional phones, the potential is huge. The soft line is very clear, how big a piece of cake this is.

Feng Yu had planned to release part of the base code in the future to make it unique on the smartphone system.

All they have to do is develop a basic operating system, and every manufacturer that produces a smartphone can produce their own system, but this system also needs to think about the basic system in Silver Mountain, and then add some changes.

Whatever the case, even Silver Mountain can get paid, and most importantly, it's equivalent to setting industry standards for smartphone systems, beating Microsoft, Fruit, Racing Ben, Black Rose, etc.

And in this way, there will be the most apps that support HOS, and HOS will gradually be able to monopolize the market, just like in previous generations.

Soft lines, even if they get some basic code, are already lagging behind even thinking about Silver Mountain too much. And with the release of Silver Mountain financing, you will get more funding, you can invest in research and development of the system and so on, and continue to stay ahead.

And Feng Yu can give the soft line part of the code, naturally to other companies, so that it can form a huge alliance and devour the market for other cell phone systems.

SoftBank knew this very well, but they were finally able to profit from the cake, so Sun Zhengyi and other SoftBank directors considered it and agreed.

As to how much this part of the code is, we need to discuss it specifically.

This time, Feng Yu was very satisfied. Feng Yu had decided that at the end of the year, the bonus to be awarded to Masao Torta should be increased again.

……

“President Feng, ever since SoftBank announced that XOS-enabled software would be rolled out quickly, there has been more interest in our new system on the Internet.” Ask for a delightful report from the Army.

“It's normal that our goal this year is to have a 10 percent market share, and then double it next year, and double it in another year, and double it. Five years later, with Microsoft, we left other companies like Fruit. ”

Feng Yu shocked me and caught up with the market owner in five years? The original plan was to become the second largest in the market in five years and catch up with the fruit company in three years.

“Why? You don't seem very confident. You don't look very good at the system we've developed, do you?” Feng Yu asked with a smile.

“But user inertia is hard to change. We hope to achieve this in Huaxia and Eastern Europe, but in Europe and America, it's not very realistic, is it?” Asked the army to hesitate.

Feng Yu pointed to the world map on the office wall: “This is the second largest emerging market after ours in Huaxia, with a huge population, but very backward in technology. But don't forget, there are plenty of rich people over there. ”

“Now the CEO of Mercedes-Benz, formerly president of the region, was able to move from being president of the region because he opened up a market that nobody liked. If Mercedes-Benz can, why can't we? Our country has good relations with many countries over there. ”

“We can influence the market over there by upper-level selling all our electronics and software, etc., with the goal of completely occupying the market! ”

Asking Uncle Jun to grow his mouth, what is Feng saying, to develop the African market?!

That's Africa, where electricity can't be guaranteed, communication is a problem, Feng always said to develop that market? What's next to emerging markets in Huaxia?

Electronic products and software, different from automobiles. He acknowledged that there were many millionaires in Africa who would need luxury cars, but those millionaires did not necessarily need electronics.

A car can sell for over $100,000, but a laptop? The sale price of $3,000 is even premium. If someone sells 10,000 cars, it's a $10 million sale. How many high-end laptops do I have to sell?

What if it's a regular laptop, about a thousand dollars, and the netbook that the company is going to launch, even less than five hundred dollars? Laptop profits are far from comparable to cars, especially luxury cars.

Cars are needed in Africa, but not necessarily computers.

“Please, tell you a little story. Two people who bought shoes came to a village and found all the people in the village barefoot. One person thinks that the villagers are not wearing shoes, so they are definitely not for sale. Another person argued that if everyone in the village bought his shoes, he would have made a fortune. ”

“Finally, after a period of success, the second man made the village understand that wearing shoes is more comfortable than not wearing them. You don't have the money to give me. It doesn't matter. You can exchange other valuable things in the village. ”

“I know what you're worried about, thinking that most countries in Africa don't even use their phones, and naturally don't buy laptops, let alone operating systems. But the other day, Kang Wan violently told me that their portable HD DVD was selling very well in Africa. ”

“Now that people can buy DVDs, they can buy laptops, which are not convenient for desktops to carry. I am not saying that the African market must be the focus of development, but rather that you understand that this is a market that cannot be missed. ”

In the past, the computer market in Africa was divided between Lenovo, Asho and Fruit Corporation, and other companies began not to pay any attention to that sector. When they wanted to enter, they realized that the market had been divided. Africans, too, are brand conscious.

With the exception of countries with frequent wars, Africa's economic development is not too slow, and at least the consumption capacity of those in cities is not poor. Or, for poorer countries, there are millionaires.

“Well, I'll tell President Liu about that. ”

“Chairman, it's President Tortoise. ”

“Get in. ”

PS: Yesterday, there were four people rewarding me. Thank you very much. Then yesterday the script fee data came out, the old four hearts pulled out cold. Subscriptions and rewards are much worse than last month. If you're looking at thieves, why don't you start with some subscriptions for Lao Si, or just give them a little reward? Alas, let's not talk about it, check the data, and continue working to improve the quality of the book.
