Vol 6 Chapter 191: Rubin's thoughts

Feng Yiping really forgot Rubin for a while, "Sorry, Rubin, you said,"

"Feng, congratulations," Rubin said.

He doesn't know how much Feng Yiping invested in NAVTEQ in the first place, but what he knows is that from Feng's appearance, the return on this investment is obviously very high.

"Thank you. When I first invested, I didn't expect that Nokia would acquire it, and at such a high price."

"I'm just about to talk about Nokia," Rubin said.

Obviously, Feng Yiping put out such a big battle yesterday. If it is targeted, besides Apple, it naturally also includes Nokia, which is currently the leader in the mobile phone industry, and another one that has been welcomed by many high-end people because of its own characteristics. Mobile phone brand, BlackBerry.

"Nokia," Feng Yiping sighed, he didn't know what to say.

From the fact that it spent so much money to acquire NAVTEQ, it can be seen that they are not insensitive, or that they have a strategic vision and are also very effective in execution.

It's just that their timing is really not the right time, just like Blackstone's $26 billion acquisition of Hilton before. Waiting for the subprime mortgage crisis to ferment for a few months, it is obvious that they don't need to spend the current high prices.

Because by then, I believe that the stocks of these two companies will fall as the market declines.

If Blackstone could not see clearly at the time, Nokia should at least understand how important it is to store more cash in its hands. After all, almost all central banks in developed countries in the world have invested heavily in solving the liquidity problem of banks. .

In particular, the new generation of smart phones represented by the iPhone is now selling hot, and when there is a tendency to reshape the entire industry layout, at this time, they should invest heavily in research and development of corresponding products.

The last thing he knows is why Android has become so popular in the future. They hesitated for so many years, and they were still unwilling to produce a mobile phone equipped with Android.

Otherwise, with its technical reserves, with its strength, with its current absolute advantage, how can Samsung, which has a huge gap with it, rise?

"Do you know why I said yesterday that the vast majority of mobile phone manufacturers in the world except Apple, not all except Apple, are looking forward to systems like Android?" Feng Yiping asked.

"Because Nokia, may not want to have such a better system than their Symbian," Rubin said.

"Yes," Feng Yiping thought, Nokia, is it possible that it is really because of the face problem that it died without Android?

It seems that at least there will be factors in this area.

Unexpectedly, companies developed in a cold country like Finland have such virtues.

"So obviously, it is also difficult to join the open mobile phone alliance we are preparing to establish," Feng Yiping said.

The reason is equally simple. Let's put aside that they are one of Android's imaginary enemies. From the perspective of Nokia's current style, they will obviously not join a mobile phone-related alliance that was not initiated and led by themselves.

"Feng, just right, my idea, and Nokia..." Rubin just mentioned, the phone on Feng Yiping's desk rang again, and Wu Qian said, "Yiping, Miss Ivanka is coming up,"

Feng Yiping looked at his watch. It was exactly when Ivanka came. "You wait a moment," he said to Rubin.

Rubin suddenly didn't know what to say. Don't I make an appointment in advance, I can't finish what I should say?

Ivanka had already come up at this time, wearing a skirt with white top and black bottom, very eye-catching, but it seemed that the whole person was a little tired.

From afar, he laughed in the corridor, "Hello, Feng,"

"Hello Ivanka, this is Rubin, Rubin, this is Miss Ivanka, who works in our fashion department,"

Rubin stood up, a little excited, it was not practical to introduce Feng Yiping, and he could recognize who this was.

"Miss Ivanka, it's nice to meet you," his eyes shined from behind his lenses. "I originally thought that it just happened to have the same name. Unexpectedly, it was Miss Ivanka you."

"It's nice to meet you," Ivanka smiled, "Feng, what are you, still busy?"

"It's okay," Feng Yiping said, "please sit down,"

"How did you get this time?" he asked.

Ivanka, who had just sat down, stood up again, "It's a great harvest." She took out a CD from her bag and looked at the TV over there, "Can you?"

"I'll come, I'll come," Rubin would be very attentive, and it seemed that he was not in a hurry to exchange ideas with Feng Yiping.

Immediately, agitated music sounded, and a model with amazingly long legs and a beautiful face walked towards the camera on the T stage with full aura.

Feng Yiping and Rubin couldn't help but shook together, and they were extremely energetic, or in other words, energized.

"This is me at Milan Fashion Week..."

"Sorry Ivanka, can you give me and Rubin a few minutes first?" Feng Yiping said.

Ivanka picked up the remote control and pressed pause, "Of course."

"But Feng, can you give me something to eat? I just arrived and didn't eat breakfast."

"No problem," Feng Yiping picked up the phone on the side and dialed the number of an assistant. "You can tell him by yourself."

"Thank you," Ivanka walked to the window with the cordless phone, "Excuse me, please give me a Caesar salad..."

Feng Yiping looked at Rubin, "Okay, tell me what you think,"

Ivanka had already ordered the meal. She put the phone on the table, and Feng Yiping pointed to the small restaurant in front. She nodded and walked over with a smile.

Rubin sat up straight, "Feng, I was thinking, why don't we just make mobile phones?"

This time, he said straightforwardly.

He was really a little worried. According to Feng Yiping's work rhythm, if he had another start, inheritance and transfer, he might not be able to express his thoughts all morning.

"We all know that the open mobile phone alliance you planned is very necessary for the long-term development of Android. Then I discovered that many of the members you plan to develop into the alliance are actually important members of the smartphone supply chain. It also includes companies like telecom operators that need key cooperation when selling mobile phones."

"So I thought, why don't we just make mobile phones?"

"We can fully imagine that in the future, this will be a very large, very large, annual demand, at least in the large market of hundreds of millions of units, and almost every year, there will be users who have replacement needs."

"Because it is the Android system developed by ourselves, I believe that our mobile phone must be the best fit for our system, that is, it must be the best smartphone equipped with the Android system."

"Considering Apple's high revenues from hardware products in the past two years, I think we can and also get involved in this field,"

"Personally, I am fully confident to do it well,"

Feng Yiping smiled and looked at Rubin, "I'm glad you can take this into consideration. I also believe that you can make the best Android phone, but before that, we need to consider a question~www. wuxiaspot.com~The most important thing right now is to promote our Android system or to develop our own smartphones?"

"In other words, for us, the increase in the number of installed Android systems in the future and the hot sales of our own smart phones, which one is more effective?"

"This," Feng Yiping answered while Rubin was still pondering, "relatively speaking, it must be the former."

Including Rubin, their current concepts have not completely changed. They all think that smart phones, like current feature phones, have only two channels for making money: mobile phone manufacturers make money through hardware, and telecom operators make communication fees.

None of them thought, including Jobs at this time, didn't quite understand how much revenue he would bring to Apple from the apps that he was originally unwilling to install on the mobile phones he developed.

For Feng Yiping and the others, the Android system has been successfully developed. In the future, one more mobile phone with Android installed and now called AndroidMarket, which is the Android application market, is equivalent to one more terminal that can generate revenue.

So, Google originally launched China, and the losses are really huge. Not only are there losses in search, the potential losses caused by mobile phones that have Android installed but not the official Android app store may be even greater.

Because in the mobile phone market, Android's installed capacity far exceeds Apple's iOS.

In the Chinese search market, Google's best performance was to occupy more than 30% of the market share. Later, in the Chinese smartphone market, Android accounted for at least more than 80% of the market share.

"In addition, we must also think about a question. You see, Nokia's Symbian system is also an open source system. Why can't it be promoted?"

"This..." Rubin pondered.
