Chapter 1413: Africa is also a market

Views:

Soft Bank can be said to be the investment company with the largest investment in the IT industry in the world, and it also has the largest number of IT companies in the world that it controls and has equity participation in.

Once the software is solved, xos will pose a serious threat to Microsoft. Softbank can be said to be one of the companies with the strongest software sales capabilities in the world, with the widest channels.

Feng Yu originally did not expect that Kameda Masao could persuade Sun Zhengyi to agree to let software companies under SoftBank produce software products that support xos.

However, the last time when Microsoft acquired China Software Enterprise, Kameda Masao gave himself a huge halo and earned Soft Bank very high profits, which made the directors of Soft Bank look at Masao Kameda with admiration.

This time, Kameda Masao proposed that if Softbank could support Lianxiang Ginzan, he was confident that Lianxiang Ginshan would disclose the basic code of Hos to Softbank, and then SoftBank could use this to enter smartphones. The system is under development.

Nowadays, smart phones are gradually emerging. Although there is still a big gap compared with traditional mobile phones, they have huge potential. Soft Row is well aware of what a big piece of cake this is.

Feng Yu had originally planned to let Lian Xiang Yinshan disclose part of the basic code in the future, so that he could become the dominant player in the smartphone system.

They only need to develop the basic operating system, and every smartphone manufacturer can produce its own system, but this system also needs to be connected to Yinshan's basic system and then add some changes.

No matter what, even Xiangyinshan can get a share of the money. The most important thing is that this is equivalent to setting the industry standard for smartphone systems, defeating Microsoft, Fruit, Symbian, Black Rose, etc.

And in this way, there will be the most application software that supports hos, and hos will gradually be able to monopolize the market, just like the press in the previous life.

Even if SoftBank gets some of the basic code, it is already far behind Lianxiang Yinshan. And with the listing of Lianxiang Yinshan, more funds will be obtained, which can be invested in system research and development and other aspects to continue to stay ahead.

And if Feng Yu can give some codes to SoftBank, he can also give them to other companies. In this way, a huge alliance can be formed to swallow up the market of other mobile phone systems.

Soft Bank was well aware of this, but they were finally able to share the cake, so Sun Zhengyi and other Soft Bank directors thought about it and agreed.

As for the code of this part, we need to discuss it in detail.

Kameda Masao made Feng Yu very satisfied this time. Feng Yu has decided that at the end of the year, the bonus for Kameda Masao will be increased again.

"Mr. Feng, since SoftBank announced that it will quickly launch software that supports xos, the Internet has paid more attention to our new system." Qiu Bojun reported with a happy face.

"This is normal. Our goal this year is to have a 10% market share, and then strive to double it next year, and the next year, double it again. In five years, we will be on par with Microsoft, leaving behind other companies such as Fruit Waiting for the company."

Qiu Bojun was stunned by Feng Yu's bold words. How could he catch up with the current market leader in five years? Qiu Bojun’s original plan was to become second in the market within five years and catch up with fruit companies within three years.

"What? You don't seem very confident. Aren't you very optimistic about the system we developed?" Feng Yu asked with a smile.

"But user inertia is difficult to change. We hope to achieve this goal in China and Eastern Europe, but in Europe and the United States, is this not realistic?" Qiu Bojun hesitated.

Feng Yu pointed at the world map on the wall of his office: "This is an emerging market second only to China. It has a large population but very backward technology. But don't forget that there are also many rich people there. "

"The current CEO of Mercedes-Benz was previously the president of this region. He was promoted from this region to president because he opened up this market that no one is optimistic about. If Mercedes-Benz can do it, why can't we? Our country and that Relations with many neighboring countries are still good."

"We can influence the market there through the upper levels and sell all our electronic products and software there. The goal is to completely occupy this market!"

Qiu Bojun opened his mouth. What was Mr. Feng talking about, to develop the African market? !

That is Africa, a place where electricity cannot be guaranteed and communication is also a problem. Mr. Feng actually said that he wanted to develop that market? What about the emerging markets second only to China

Electronic products and software are different from cars. He admitted that there are many rich people in Africa. Those rich people will need luxury cars, but those rich people may not necessarily need electronic products.

A car can cost over a hundred thousand dollars, but what about a laptop? A price of three thousand dollars is considered high-end. If someone sells 10,000 cars, that's $10 million in sales, but how many high-end laptops do they need to sell

An ordinary laptop costs about a thousand dollars, and the netbook the company plans to launch costs less than five hundred dollars. The profits from laptops are far from comparable to those from cars, especially luxury cars.

Africa needs cars, but it doesn't necessarily need computers.

"Lao Qiu, let me tell you a little story. Two shoe buyers came to a village and found that all the people in the village were barefoot. One person thought that since no one in the village wore shoes, the shoes would definitely not be sold. . And another person thinks that if everyone in the village buys his shoes, he will make a fortune."

"Finally, the second man succeeded after a period of time. He made the people in the village understand that wearing shoes is more comfortable than not wearing shoes. It doesn't matter if you don't have money to give me, you can exchange it with other valuable things in the village."

"I know what you are worried about. I think that most countries in Africa have not even used mobile phones yet, so naturally they will not buy any laptops, let alone choose an operating system. But Jiang Wanmeng told me a few days ago The news is that their portable HD DVDs are selling very well in Africa."

"Since people there can buy DVDs, they can also buy laptops. Desktops are inconvenient to carry. I am not saying that the African market must be the focus of development, but I want you to understand that this is a market that cannot be missed."

In the previous life, the computer market in Africa was divided between Lianxiang, Asus and Fruit Company. Other companies did not pay attention to that segment at all. When they wanted to enter, they found that the market had already been divided. Africans are also brand-conscious.

Except for those countries with frequent wars, Africa's economic development is actually not too slow. At least the people in the cities have not bad spending power. In other words, no matter how poor a country is, there are still rich people.

"Okay, I will tell Mr. Liu about this."

Dangdangdang~~

"Chairman, this is President Kameda's phone number."

"Get in."

ps: Yesterday, there were four people who gave rewards. The fourth person is very grateful. Then the royalties data came out yesterday, and I was heartbroken. Both subscriptions and rewards are far less than last month. Dear readers, can you please come to Qidian.com to give Lao Si some subscriptions, or just give me a small reward? Alas, I won’t go into details, just check the information, and continue to work hard to improve the quality of this book (to be continued.)
