Extraordinary Genius

Dirk looked at Saunders with surprise: "What are you talking about? Those mobile phone vendors will join the HOS camp?! ”

Saunders leaned on the couch, lifted Jiro's leg, and took a slow sip of the coffee on the table: “What, is this a surprise? Don't those cell phone manufacturers want to be part of the best mobile operating system? ”

This is like when Microsoft's PC operating system was unified, PC manufacturers wanted to join Microsoft, insist on independent research and development like fruit companies, the sales situation can only be said to be poor, and almost went bankrupt.

If Fruit had not gone bankrupt, it would have been a real Microsoft monopoly, so Bill Gates had to invest a fortune to save Fruit, I'm afraid there wouldn't be any Fruit Companies now!

The existence of fruit companies, at that time, not only allowed Microsoft to defend itself against antitrust, but also through the high-cost software of fruit companies, to get rid of their image of Microsoft's software profitability.

You see, the Fruit Company system is not as good as ours, it's all so expensive to sell, we're better to use, is the price a little higher unusual?

Now, although Microsoft, Fruit and other companies do not recognize it, in the user's mind, the HOS system is the best smartphone operating system.

In fact, mobile phone manufacturers have also found that the market for functional machines shrinks further as smartphones rise and sales increase.

Functional machines have functionality, smart machines have functionality, smart machines have functionality, but not functionality machines, so long as the price of smart machines drops, the functionality machines will be phased out.

Just as in these PC industries, manufacturers' profits are not as good as selling software, so certainly in the mobile industry, especially in the smartphone industry.

Once HOS was able to unify the smartphone market, they had to make changes. This is the monopoly position, which offers a powerful advantage.

“How can you guarantee that all mobile phone manufacturers will join HOS?” Dirk squinted his eyes, and he wondered how he could make HOS a unified market if he was even thinking about Silver Mountain's CEO.

“Dirk, I suppose you know how the optical drive on the computer was promoted?” Saunders asked with a smile.

What does this system have to do with anything?

Wait, the optical drive is being promoted through a standard alliance. So, even thinking about Silver Mountain is going to build a system alliance?

The original Optical Drive Standards Alliance, but Windstorm Electronics licensed a portion of the patent to allow other participants to develop and upgrade independently in exchange for their support for the standard.

This time, even thinking about Silver Mountain would publish the source code for HOS?

Dirk suddenly realizes that this doesn't seem to be a bad idea. Because the systems developed by Silver Mountain are all open-source based LINUX systems, the source code itself does not need to be too confidential.

Of course, Silver Mountain must have been upgraded, otherwise it would have been mimicked a lot. So they're going to do open-source authorization? Or partially open authorization?

“What do you mean, we can join this camp and do system development? ”

“Not only can you do your own apps, optimize your hardware, etc. Frankly, if you're going to develop the system, are you more confident than you think of Silver Mountain? So why not make better application software or work on hardware optimization, which is the best way for your hardware manufacturer to grow. ”

“Doesn't it make sense for you not only to have access to a more profitable software market but also to develop your own tablets? ”

“All you have to do is promise that in the future we will be the biggest core supplier you will ever wear, which is a matter of mutual benefit. ”

Saunders did not say that he was the only supplier, and this request, Dai, would definitely not be accepted. But as long as you wear it and promise a bigger order to Super Vigilante, then, like any other PC manufacturer, it won't be long before Super Vigilante completes the override on Intel.

Of course, this is an ideal situation, and it may not be that easy. Saunders wasn't sure that all PC manufacturers would agree, and even if they did, Superior would not be able to deliver at this time.

Though the superpower plant is still expanding, it will also take time. As requested by Feng Yu and as Sanders himself envisioned, it would be satisfying to have three to five years to go hand in hand with Intel and then three to five years to complete the override.

Dirk was silent for a while and did not refuse directly this time: "Sanders, I think I need to consult with the board before I can give you a final reply. ”

Saunders stood up laughingly: "Yes, I can wait. Dirk, let me remind you, the first promise will definitely make Feng the most happy, Feng has never wronged his own people. ”

Dirk moved in his heart, and he could barely resist saying yes. But he's just the CEO, not the chairman, and even the chairman can't directly promise such a big thing, after all, the chairman doesn't have absolute control.

As soon as Sanders left, Dirk immediately reported to the chairman of the board, requesting an immediate meeting of the board to discuss an important matter regarding the future development of the company, which could affect Dai and the decades to come!

……

“Dirk, I'm still busy redundancies. What's the rush?” A director asked unhappily.

Anyone who has been on a plane for six or seven hours will come to the meeting without a minute's rest and not be in a good mood.

Not to mention the fact that Dai acquired a large company and is undergoing layoffs, which is the biggest thing this year. This year's global economic situation is not very good, but they invested so much money, they don't want this investment to be the Waterloo, their goal, but even more than thought, become the world's number one!

Dirk is not only the CEO of the company, he is also a member of the board of directors, second only to the chairman. The director also competed with Dirk for the position of CEO, so the relationship between the two was not particularly good.

Dirk glanced at the director: "Rayson, when everyone's here, I'll say it. And this is more important than the project you're responsible for. ”

Without saying a word, he didn't think anything was more important than the project for which he was responsible, and this Dirk would be alarmed. The chairman really took a long time to choose Dirk to become CEO. If he came to this seat, Dai would certainly be better than today's development. The position of the world's number one PC manufacturer, how can it be Huaxia's reckoning to sit?

By the time the chairman walked into the conference room, everyone had arrived.

“Dirk, tell me about it. ”

“This is an important matter for us to wear and for the future to flourish...”
