After the release of Apocalypse mobile phones, major mobile phone dealers followed suit and prepared to launch their own large screens, thin and smart phones.

All companies can find alternative products for touch screens, lithium batteries, basebands, etc. However, the most critical system, chip, is not solved.

In the 1990s, there were actually many companies that were able to design and produce chips, but not many chips could be used on mobile phones.

There is no need to mention Intel and Amd, which everyone knows, there are also relatively unpopular chip manufacturers, such as Sun Microelectronics, ibm, Motorola, HP, VIA, etc.

However, their chips are mainly computers, servers, notebooks, etc. The disadvantage is that they are large in size, high power consumption, and have a lot of heat dissipation, so they cannot be transplanted to mobile phones at all.

The system is even more difficult to deal with. Now there are only a few companies in the world who can develop systems, and they can count them with both hands. Most of them are those who develop computers and server systems, and have no achievements in mobile systems.

Therefore, companies like Tianxia Technology that can simultaneously produce chips and develop systems can be considered rare.

Even if the mobile phone manufacturer buys chips, the Westerner buys systems, and then launches its own mobile phones after combining, it will be difficult to compete with Tianxia Technology in terms of cost. After all, Tianxia Technology is self-produced and sold, and the cost can be minimized.

Just when major mobile phone companies were at a loss, Tianxia Technology suddenly announced that it would provide chip and system services to external companies.

After this news came out, the eyes were immediately shattered.

If other mobile phone companies get the chips and systems provided by Tianxia Technology, they can assemble their own large screens, thin and smart phones.

Moreover, many mobile phone manufacturers themselves have their own technical advantages. If they are coupled with the chips and systems of Tianxia Technology, they are likely to produce smartphones better than the Apocalypse mobile phones.

In this way, the Apocalypse mobile phone will no longer be the only one. Its market will be seized by other companies and its profits will be greatly reduced. Therefore, people cannot understand why Tianxia Technology wants to do such a thing, wouldn’t it destroy the Great Wall?

...

In fact, not only the outside world can’t figure it out, but even the inside of Tianxia Technology, there are a lot of people who can’t figure it out.

They all think that the chips and systems of the Tianqi mobile phone were developed by Tianxia Technology and should be the company's highest secret and not to be revealed to the talents. It is really incredible to share with others now.

You should know that Coca-Cola will not share Coca-Cola's secret recipes with others; Intel will not authorize other manufacturers to produce x86 chips; Microsoft will not authorize other software companies to modify the indos system.

Because these are their core secrets, only by mastering these core secrets can they not worry about competition from others and put themselves in a monopoly position for a long time.

Nowadays, Tianxia Technology wants to sell the chips and systems of the Tianqi mobile phone to other companies, which is not enough to describe the word "prodigal son".

"A Tian, ​​you have to think carefully. We can't do that." Wang Xianguang advised Xia Tian.

Apocalypse mobile phones sold 300,000 units and earned 1.2 billion US dollars. In addition to costs, they can also make 200 million US dollars. This is just the first year of sales. If the price is lowered next year, it will be sold again.

It is expected that the Apocalypse mobile phone can earn more than 1.5 billion US dollars in profits for the company. If the Apocalypse second and third generations are included, then Tianxia Technology may make more than 30 billion US dollars in profits with this mobile phone.

However, if the chips and systems are authorized to others in the summer, the revenue of Tianxia Technology will be greatly reduced. It may even be surpassed by its competitors, completely lost the market, and become a simple chip and software provider. That may be possible.

"Don't worry, brother, I'm thinking very clearly, I'm not crazy." Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled.

History has proved that opening is better than closing.

Nokia's Symbian system lost to Google's Android system because of its closedness; Apple's Mac-OS system lost to Microsoft's Indos system because of its closedness; Microsoft's IE browser lost to Google's Chrome browser because of its closedness...

If Tianxia Technology does not authorize the chips and systems to other companies, then they will also find a way out themselves. And in the world, it is really not just Tianxia Technology that controls black technology.

Motorola can also produce chips, Microsoft is also interested in launching mobile systems, and ibm only launched a handheld computer the year before yesterday... If these companies cooperate with each other, it will not be difficult to launch a smartphone.

By then, the best result of Apocalypse Mobile was to build a closed-loop ecosystem like Apple, with chips and systems not open, and then win with high-quality design, quality and service.

But there is only one Apple in the world, and Jobs has only one. It is rare for managers like him to have super high taste, strong execution ability, and outstanding vision. If Apocalypse Mobile imitates Apple, it is likely that it will not become a dog, and in the end it will not become an Apple, but will become a Blackberry.

BlackBerry was one of the best-known phones in the world in the late 1990s and early new century when smartphones were not yet launched. It was very popular among business users and every launch can cause a sensation.

But after the launch of smartphones, BlackBerry became the best tomorrow, with sales falling day by day, and eventually shutting down the mobile phone business.

On the contrary, if the system is opened, on the one hand, Tianxia Technology can sell chips and make money by selling the system.

In his previous life, Qualcomm and MediaTek made a lot of money by selling chips. In particular, Qualcomm's market value was once compared with Intel. Google's Android system also accounted for nearly 40% of the global system share, which is higher than Microsoft's indos system market share. Although the Android system is free, the services provided by Google are not free.

On the one hand, you can also take the opportunity to suppress competitors. There is a saying in China that if you don’t call the bell, you will cast the bell. It means that you will look far and wide, and you will do this in one go.

If Tianxia Technology provides chips and systems, many mobile phone manufacturers will not have the motivation to ask other companies and buy them directly from Tianxia Technology. In this way, competitors can be prevented from entering.

Just like Microsoft and Intel formed an Intel alliance, selling both systems and chips, the two companies are united and monopolizing each other, driving other chips and system manufacturers out of the market.
