Global monopoly of technology

According to reports, Google only spent US$50 million on the acquisition of Android that year, and Luo Sheng knows the impact of Android on Google and the technology industry more than ten years later. Google’s acquisition of Android may be one of the most important M&A transactions in Silicon Valley’s history. This open source The operating system brings Google 20 to 30 billion dollars in revenue from terrorist advertising each year.

Although Luo Sheng felt it was a pity that he failed to acquire Android, he did not brood about it.

Because he couldn't acquire Android, Luo Sheng had already decided to take out some low-level designs from the AOS system, and then re-optimized the magic to introduce a new architecture of the open source operating system WOS system solution.

One hand is the AOS closed-loop ecosystem that is now leading the world for at least five years, and the other hand is the open source ecosystem. Both hands must be grasped and both hands must be hard.

How to lose?

At this time, Qin Weimu turned his head slightly to stare at Luo Sheng, and said thoughtfully: "The acquisition of Android from Google, including this peek at Sun, especially in November last year, when Google took the lead in opening up the mobile phone alliance. The ambition to complete the industrial chain has been exposed."

Hearing this, Luo Sheng couldn't help but smile, and he also remembered the situation at the first developer conference.

Eric Schmidt was so passionate at the Côte d’Azur Developers Conference. He knew that this old man turned his head back and pushed Android out. Android was acquired by Google in 2005, but it has not been taken seriously. , Even benchmarking Nokia’s Symbian system, until the emergence of Azure mobile phones, the development of Google’s Android system has risen to the company’s strategic level.

Then there was the matter of taking the lead in opening the mobile phone alliance, and the Google mobile phone operating platform finally officially landed.

Moreover, what is unexpected is that the powerful Google did not let Android choose to fight alone like AOS on the Côte d'Azur, but an "open mobile phone alliance" composed of 34 companies.

Among these 34 companies are Google, China Mobile, Motorola, Intel, Qualcomm, Samsung, Telecom Italia, Telefonica, T-Mobile, Texas Instruments TI, Broadcom, HTC and other companies.

Among them, some of the world's top chip manufacturers continue to promote a fully integrated mobile "software stack" consisting of operating systems, middleware, user-friendly interfaces and application software based on Google's Android platform.

What's interesting is that Apple is not in the list under the leadership of Qiao Gang. The Qiao Gang is now obsessed with the tablet and iPad project, with the intention of changing the world again.

Apple’s board of directors has repeatedly proposed to enter the smartphone market as soon as possible, but Joe’s gang is paranoid. Geniuses are often paranoid. They will not deny their mistakes, otherwise they are not geniuses. To deal with the word error, the logic in the mind of genius is: How could it be wrong?Unbelievable, why am I wrong?

Obviously, the birth of Google’s Android alliance is an undisguised benchmark against the AOS ecosystem of Côte d’Azur. The goal of the AOS system is not only to run on thousands of smart phones, but the future strategic layout will also Enter the mobile terminal consumer electronics hardware such as TVs, game consoles, wearable devices, and car dashboards.

Qin Weimu said: "At the beginning of this year, the first Android device launched the G1, but it failed."

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "I saw the G1 Android device, it is a poor imitation of AOS."

Qin Weimu said: "But I don't think Google can just admit defeat like this. It will definitely continue to develop the operating system quickly. If Sun can merge into its subordinates, it may bring a lot of help."

Luo Sheng nodded but shook his head quickly, and said with ease and joy: "I think between Larry Page and Larry Ellison, the latter may include Sun in the bag, Larry Ellison This person is also a genius who likes to go wild, and is particularly shameless and insidious. Can you imagine Ellison arranging to squat in the opponent's trash can all day long in order to obtain the opponent's confidential information and then collect garbage files for analysis? I feel that Peppa may be a little bit overwhelmed now, this person is not the wildest way, only wilder."

Ok?

Hearing this, Qin Weimu was puzzled. It wasn't that he was concerned about the dark history of Ellison by Luo Sheng. He immediately looked at him and said in a puzzled way: "You mean, Sun may eventually fall into Oracle. Hands?"

Luo Sheng didn't speak, but nodded and also explained his prediction.

Qin Weimu was not too distracted by this matter, and instead said: "You already proposed last year to develop an open source ecosystem that is completely opposite to the AOS closed-loop ecosystem. When will this plan be implemented? In the plan, there is not even a plan."

Luo Sheng thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Wait for the completion of the merger with MySQL, let Yao Jianhong keep the project on schedule and hand it over to Feng Yi for execution. He is focusing on the ecosystem and released it at the 2009 Developer Conference. , Call it WOS system."

Two years are enough. The Côte d’Azur is not as groundless as it was in 2004. Google dreams of getting the underlying design of AOS, but Android’s competitors have not yet been born, but WOS can easily get related resources. The tilt.

Android has an advantage in starting early, but the open source system of the Côte d'Azur started late but has a high starting point, which is also an advantage. In the end, it will return to the hard power of fighting technology. Luo Sheng is very confident.

Moreover, the timing of the launch is just right. 2010 is an important time node. If there is not much change, it is not surprising that domestic smart phone brands such as Xiaomi mobile phones will spring up at this time.

Also in this year, it was no accident that it was the time for Google to withdraw from China, and Luo Sheng, based on his analysis of the situation in his previous life, shows that by 2010, the smartphone market is actually the world of Nokia's Symbian system.

Needless to say for now, Symbian S60v3v5 has the largest market share and is far ahead. Even in 2008, traditional mobile phone giants like Nokia are still immersed in the glory of the past and are still unwilling to move a comfortable position. Stick to the plastic keyboard.

Also this time, a few companies had a little fun with Google.

Because Azure mobile phones currently have a market share of less than 1% in the market with annual sales of 1 billion, those traditional companies have never realized how fierce the big wave of mobile Internet is, and there are too many new companies because of this. While the rise, too many companies have also fallen because of it, and there is no shortage of giants like Nokia.

It really confirms the old saying, you won't cry if you don't enter the coffin.

As for the current Android system, there is not even a Bluestar Technology "Family Bucket" application. It is not that Luo Sheng is not allowed to use it. Any mobile phone and any system can be used because it represents the user base and ecosystem of the Bluestar Technology Group.

It’s just that Android doesn’t even have a decent hardware device now, let alone carrying its ecological environment. HTC and Samsung don’t know what they are doing now.

For others, the advent of the mobile Internet has left many people confused, but Luo Sheng is very clear about the road ahead. He grasped the time node in 2010 and launched the WOS operating system in 2009. Its ecology is exactly the same as that of Android. , All play open source operations.

Luo Sheng is confident that domestic mobile phone brands will eventually rise, so as long as the domestic team is well led, he can fight with Android on a global scale in the open ecosystem.

Under Luo Sheng's blueprint, the future mobile phone operating system should be a situation of "one super, many powerful". "One super" is the closed-loop AOS system, which has always been far ahead for more than five years in this area. "How strong" should be based on the WOS system, Google Android based on Linux operating system, Nokia Symbian, Apple iOS and so on.

However, Apple has lost its vent. The iPhone’s luck is basically drained by Luo Sheng. Even if iOS is launched, it is destined to not be able to turn the waves. There is a prerequisite here. It depends on when the Joe gang breaks the south wall and turns back. no way back.

In terms of closed-loop and open source ecology, the Cote d'Azur has both grasped and hardened both hands.

At the same time, the open source ecology is divided into two camps. The WoS system led by the Azure Coast Company forms a WOS ecosystem with domestic brands such as Xiaomi mobile phones, OPPO, and vivo.

Of course, the premise is that Rebs and the others will set up companies such as Xiaomi and Vivo as scheduled in Luo Sheng’s previous life, but even if there is no Xiaomi, there will definitely be rice and the like. Luo Sheng doesn’t have to worry at all, because he intends Azure is the low-end mobile phone, but focuses on the high-end area. It would be nice to have an open source WOS system in the low-end and mid-range. The profit here is not much, and it is let to other domestic mobile phone manufacturers.

Here is Luo Sheng's confidence and mindset. At the same time, he is also very clear that his opponent will not be in China for a long time in the future, but overseas, in Google.

Another big open source ecological camp is Google's ecosystem based on the Android system. Not surprisingly, the chief first hitman of Android in the early days may be HTC, and then Samsung came behind, and HTC eventually fell and died.

This is Luo Sheng's prediction for the future trend of the entire industry structure. There is a high probability that it will move towards such a trend. There is a high probability that the pulse of this era will continue to beat like this, Luo Sheng firmly believes.

And grasping the pulse of the times can win the future.

Luo Sheng’s ambition is to build a pyramid-shaped structure in the global mobile phone industry. The top echelon should be the AOS closed-loop system. The carrier is the Azure series, the second echelon is WOS and Android, and the third echelon is classified into other categories, such as old brands. The giants who have fallen, stay here and eat and die.

Such a structure will eventually establish a consensus on consumption habits in the minds of consumers. Buying high-end phones is the first choice for Azure phones, buying mid-to-low-end phones is the best choice for WOS or Android phones, and buying a plastic keyboard function machine can do it by yourself. , It doesn’t make any difference which brand you buy, and you don’t need to look at the brand.
