Chapter 534 Wang Yi takes action, Apple’s tragedy!(1/3)
The most important thing is that some of them are indeed suspected of monopoly, such as the monopoly in the application market.
Android applications can be downloaded from multiple application markets. In addition to Google Store, there are also App Store, Wandoujia, 360 Software Center, Baidu App Store, etc., as well as the official website of the application provider.
The XOS system, like Apple, only allows online access to the XOS App Store and downloads from the XOS App Store. Even the official website link will jump to the XOS App Store.
Payment for Android software can be made through other channels and Android’s commission can be bypassed.
However, the software payment of the XOS system, like Apple, must be recharged through the XOS application store, and the XOS system's commission cannot be circumvented.
This is definitely suspected of being a monopoly.
In previous lives, Apple was frequently sued and punished for antitrust violations.
Similarly, if the authorities really investigate and investigate seriously, the XOS App Store's monopoly will also be punished like Apple.
However, even so, Apple still has no intention of opening the App Store.
I would rather be investigated by a monopoly and punished than open to the public.
No matter what, once it is opened, third-party application stores such as Yongyongbao, Wandoujia, Baidu, and 360 will all be launched on the IOS system.
By then, the commissions from the software, games, and recharges users download from these app stores will go to the third-party app stores.
There are also promotional resources purchased by app vendors, which are all pocketed by third-party app stores. Apple can only drink from the northwest wind.
Just like Android in China, when Google sets up a platform, the money is made by third parties.
Apple cannot accept this.
Therefore, they would rather be punished and continue to use closed app stores.
After all, closed app stores can make more money, far more than the amount of money from monopoly investigations.
Monopoly investigations do not occur every year, nor are they comprehensive.
On the contrary, this time it is the European League, the next time it may be three years later, Xia Guo takes action, and the next time it will be five years later, the US emperor takes action...
In this way, even if you pay a fine, the losses will be smaller than liberalizing the application market.
What's more, every time there is a monopoly accusation, Apple will countersue.
When the final result comes out, you may not lose the case. Even if you do lose the case, you may not be fined as much as the EU imposes. There is a high probability that you will receive a discount.
The final fine was nothing compared to the money Apple made from its monopoly.
Likewise, the same is true for XOS systems.
Wang Yi said: "If we want to eradicate the monopoly problem, the XOS system must be fully open, and the XOS application store must also be open to third parties. In this way, we will not earn commission, and all the money will be earned by the third-party app store
Gone."
Zhu Changlin nodded: "This kind of behavior of making wedding clothes for others is indeed bad. No giant can accept it, and we can't let it go."
Another executive, Chu Yue, said: "But Android is open, and the Android app store is also fully open."
Yang Yan waved his hand: "It's different. The reason why Google opened the Android app store is just to promote the Android system to third-party brands. But if it weren't for this, Google would not give up this piece of fat and open the app store.
"
The XOS system is not directly used by third parties for this reason.
Once developed for other brands, the XOS system becomes an open system. The source code and underlying architecture must be open to third-party brands, and the application store must also be open to third-party brands.
Chu Yue's eyes lit up: "That's a good thing. Once the XOS system is released and used by third-party brands, the number of users of the XOS system will increase rapidly. This will be good for us to expand the development of the XOS system!"
Yang Yan shook his head: "Users will surge temporarily, but revenue may not surge, or even decline."
"The simplest thing. Once it is opened, a lot of software commissions and advertising revenue will be earned by mobile phone brand app stores and third-party app stores. In the end, it will fall on Xingyi Technology, but it may not be as high as it is now."
"More importantly, third-party brands will also feel that they are playing both sides of the fence between the XOS system and the Android system, forcing Xingyi Technology and Google to continue to give away profits in order to compete for customers, continue to retreat, and completely roll up..."
"In the end, both the XOS system and Android will suffer, and brands such as China Cool Alliance Mei Mi OV will make a lot of money. This is boring!"
After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought, and Wang Yi had to think carefully.
The XOS system is open to third-party brands, which has advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that users can increase quickly, but it may not increase for a long time.
The disadvantage is that part of the revenue will be lost, and there will be all kinds of troubles in the future.
Zhu Changlin also sighed: "Director Yang's concern is very necessary. Now the XOS system has 64-bit advantages and is completely ahead of 32-bit Android. Major mobile phone brands are still willing to use the XOS system."
"In a few years, the 64-bit ecosystem of Android will also rise, and the situation will change. The major mobile phone brands will have both sides, and they will force us to give up profits on the XOS system, and give away profits like crazy."
"The simplest thing is that some mobile phone brands will be greedy and constantly threaten us. As long as the XOS system does not continue to benefit them, they will completely abandon the XOS system and return to Android!"
"This is really more disgusting than eating a fly! And it will be a fatal blow to our XOS system!"
Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
If so, it would be troublesome. It would be equivalent to the XOS system and Xingyi Technology being set up!
But Chu Yue couldn't help but said: "Is this going to happen? Major brands should have moral integrity and not add insult to injury, right?"
Wang Yi smiled: "What is integrity? With the virtues of major brands, you can do it, and even do it more seriously and excessively."
"We cannot let ourselves be reduced to the position of being chosen, let alone let third-party mobile phone brands become the boss, riding on the head of the XOS system and becoming its father."
This is impossible!
Even if the XOS system becomes a closed system like the IOS system, it cannot be set up by a third-party brand.
We cannot let the major mobile phone brands act as their fathers and ride on our shoulders to dominate us.
As for the major brands, they all know how to be grateful and repay their kindness...
Now I enjoy the 64-bit XOS system. Even if Android catches up in the future, it will continue to fully support the XOS system...
Even children don’t believe this.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
For the sake of profit, major brands will do anything.
Just like Huawei's car-machine system and autonomous driving solutions, it has also been completely liberalized. It is seeking to cooperate with major car brands. What is the result?
Only small brands like Xiaokang, which are on the verge of bankruptcy, are willing to cooperate with Huawei.
Other large companies would rather choose to cooperate with foreign giants and use foreign autonomous driving solutions than reject Huawei's solution!
In the euphemistic name, they want to ensure the independence of the soul, and then they turn around and sell the soul to foreign giants!
This is the virtue of these brands!
The same goes for mobile phone brands.
Even if they develop with the help of the XOS system, they will not be grateful to Xingyi Technology or the XOS system.
On the contrary, I feel that Wang Yi should be grateful to them!
I feel that it is precisely because these third-party brands use the XOS system that they can make the XOS system bigger. It is all their contribution.
At that time, I will also say that they can make the XOS system rise or destroy it!
They are the fathers of the XOS system!
That's really disgusting.
From the Huawei incident, Wang Yi can see the integrity and virtue of these brands.
Wang Yi doesn't trust them, not at all!
In order to prevent backlash, Wang Yi has made up his mind that the XOS system is currently closed and not open to third-party brands!
What's more, Xingyi Mobile has a competitive relationship with third-party brands. Even if it is really open, not many brands will continue to use it.
In the past two years, Android has not been upgraded to a 64-bit system, and major brands will use the more powerful XOS system.
Once two years pass and the Android 64-bit system is released, all major brands will abandon their competitors' XOS systems and continue to choose Android systems.
Unless Xingyi Technology gives up making mobile phones and concentrates on making systems, no matter how powerful the XOS system is, third-party brands will not continue to use it.
There is no doubt about this.
Just like when Qualcomm first emerged, it was still a small company.
Qualcomm's CDMA baseband chips are very powerful and very cheap, but not many brands use them.
Why?
Because Qualcomm not only makes CDMA basebands, but also Qualcomm CDMA mobile phones!
As a competitor, even if Qualcomm’s baseband chips are better and cheaper, peers will not use them!
No one wants to be an enemy!
In desperation, Qualcomm had no choice but to completely abandon the mobile phone business. Qualcomm's CDMA baseband was widely adopted by major brands, and it rose rapidly and became the current king.
If Qualcomm dares to continue to make Qualcomm smartphones, Qualcomm chips will instantly cool down.
There is no doubt about this.
The same is true for XOS systems and Kunpeng chips.
To be continued...
