At the same time that the iPhone sold well, the built-in FaceTime software became very popular, and many people did not make calls directly, but communicated via FaceTime video. In addition, under the promotion of Tencent, WeChat has gradually become popular and has become one of the most commonly used social software.
The VoIP business of Skype and FaceToFace has been hit hard!
Therefore, while Skype and FaceToFace are developing software for the iPhone platform, and at the same time when the Saipan Alliance wants to develop a Saipan touch-screen smartphone, they have expressed their willingness to develop software for them, and then compete for the mobile Internet market.
Of course, the Saipan Alliance has also sent invitations to Tencent, Amazon, Yahoo and other companies, but Li Zetian thought that he has Samsung, Google, and Xiaomi on his side, and there will definitely be more mobile phone manufacturers occupying the Android side in the future. Do not agree to develop software for them.
Without the popular software nowadays, can Symbian phones still sell well
In Li Zetian's view, the Saipan alliance will collapse sooner or later. Now, Samsung is also a member of the Saipan Alliance, but Samsung will be the first company to reverse the water. It is like a multi-bones nomie effect. Many rectangular dominoes are erected and arranged in a row, and the first card is gently pushed down. , the rest of the dominoes will fall one after another! ! !
This afternoon, Bill Gates suddenly came to visit Li Zetian at home.
Li Zetian received warmly, hehe, Bill Gates' daughter Tina has already been bloodied by his son, and William often brings Tina home to live. The two obviously have a play. Maybe, he and the Gates family It may be family in the future.
"Bill, why are you here?" Li Zetian asked with a smile.
Bill Gates said straight to the point: "Of course I have something very important to discuss with you!"
"Sit down, what would you like to drink?"
"coffee."
The two sat down on the sofa in the living room to chat, and Bill Gates said, "Chronos, at Apple's iPhone launch, you once said that the era of mobile Internet has come! These days, the iPhone is on fire, and I suddenly Realize what you said, very true! Obviously, mobile will gradually take over the PC market. With the increase of smartphone users, sooner or later, mobile will overtake PC!"
Li Zetian took a deep look at Bill Gates, then smiled and nodded: "Yes, Bill, your analysis is quite correct!"
Bill Gates frowned slightly: "I vaguely feel that Microsoft must undergo a transformation... This time, I am here to discuss with you."
Speaking of this, Bill Gates looked at Li Zetian with a trace of resentment in his eyes. You are the big boss of Microsoft, and I am only a small shareholder. You don't care about Microsoft, and you have to let me worry!
Li Zetian laughed dryly and said, "Well, it's right for Microsoft to transform. What do you want to do?"
Bill Gates said: "I heard that Google is developing an Android mobile operating system... Want to compete with iOS and Symbian?"
Li Zetian nodded.
Bill Gates went on to say: "Chronos, the Saipan system has been developed for many years, and it has the support of many users, but the Android system is a new mobile phone operation, I think it is not easy to beat the Saipan system! And Microsoft is at the juncture of transformation, so I think if Microsoft dominates Android, it will definitely be of great benefit to the promotion of Android based on Microsoft's strong technology and position in the operating system!"
Li Zetian heard the words and was thoughtful.
In this life, Nokia is not the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer, so it is not stubborn. After the iPhone fire, it quickly made a decision to transform. And this... is a big variable! ! !
It is certain that the iPhone and iOS are very popular, but whether Android can be the same as the previous life is full of unknowns.
Right now, Bill Gates proposed to let Microsoft join Android, but Li Zetian's eyes lit up. Whether it is Google or Microsoft, it is his company anyway. The two companies can cooperate completely. In Li Zetian's view, Microsoft does have its own uniqueness in operating systems. In terms of technology, it is definitely better than Google. !
Strong alliances may create a more powerful Android. In addition, as far as the current situation is concerned, Microsoft's entry into Android is extremely beneficial to the promotion of the Android system!
This life has been very different from the previous life. Microsoft Corporation was difficult to do in the mobile operating system in the previous life, but it does not mean that this life is also difficult to do. In fact, in comparison, Li Zetian believes that Microsoft can do better with Android! Microsoft's operating system technology and experience for so many years is not a decoration...
Thinking of this, Li Zetian said to Bill Gates: "I will consider your words carefully."
Bill Gates laughed when he heard the words, knowing that Li Zetian was persuaded by him.
It's not that Microsoft can't develop its own mobile operating system, but it will take some time. Furthermore, since Li Zetian decided to promote Android with all his strength, he would not agree with Microsoft to create a mobile operating system against it, wasting resources! Therefore, Bill Gates found Li Zetian and proposed the idea of Microsoft's entry into Android. Fortunately, Li Zetian was persuaded by him.
That night, Li Zetian thought for a long time that it was possible for Microsoft to become the owner of Android, but in the end he felt that Microsoft and Google had a lot of overlapping businesses and were competitors to each other. If Android was owned by these two companies, it would definitely produce a lot of Entangled, Google wants to build so-and-so software on the Android system, but Microsoft does not agree. Or maybe Microsoft wants to build so-and-so software on Android, but Google doesn't agree. This created infighting, allowing the Saipan system to take advantage.
If Microsoft and Google hold Android alone, they will be able to use their hands like an arm, without restraint!
This…
Li Zetian shook his head, a little troubled.
The night was getting dark, looking at the soft moonlight outside the window, Li Zetian suddenly had a plan!
"I merged Microsoft and Google, doesn't that solve all the problems?"
"66666, as soon as Microsoft and Google merge, there will be one more super giant in the world! I really look forward to the establishment of such an awesome company!!!"
Li Zetian's face flushed red, showing excitement, and he almost stayed up all night.
The next morning, Li Zetian disclosed his decision to Google and Microsoft.
As Li Zetian, who holds the absolute controlling stake in the two companies, his decision is the imperial decree.
For Google and Microsoft, this merger is more beneficial than detrimental to both parties.
"Be sure to merge Google and Microsoft before October!" Li Zetian said. On October 1st, the Android conference will be held, and the merger of Google and Microsoft is a huge good news for Android!
"As for the parent company, it's called Alphabet." Li Zetian said again, directly using the name of the parent company of Google in the previous life.
All Google and Microsoft employees were shocked, and when the news came out, the whole world was shocked!
"Google is an Internet giant and almost monopolizes the search market; while Microsoft is a software giant and almost monopolizes the PC operating system! Now these two companies are actually going to merge, oh my god, do you want to be like this? !!!”
"There is no best, only more awesome!"
"6666, the super invincible aircraft carrier in the technology world!!!"
"Chronos Li is domineering!"
"… "
For a long time to follow, Google and Microsoft attracted the attention of the world, and the headlines in the media were all written around these two companies.
"Wall Street": "Shock! The world's first super company that is expected to reach a trillion-dollar market value is about to be born!!!"
"Los Angeles Times": "The story behind Google and Microsoft that has to be told!"
The Times: "A new tech empire is about to be born!!"
…
Li Zetian is afraid to go out now, and countless media reporters want to interview him. But having said that, the merger of Google and Microsoft was indeed shocking, and even Li Zetian himself felt excited.
On September 25, Google and Microsoft announced their merger, and both became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Alphabet. Of course, the merger of two such large companies is not so simple. For the time being, the shares of major shareholders of Google and Microsoft are transferred to the parent company Alphabet, and distributed according to a certain proportion, and then deal with specific matters, including business. Consolidation, reorganization of subsidiaries, personnel transfers, etc…
Because Li Zetian bought the bottom of both Google and Microsoft during the winter of the Internet, he holds a very high stake in Google and Microsoft. After the merger of the two companies, Li Zetian holds 62.5% of Alphabet, the second Major shareholder Bill Gates also holds only 5.1% of the shares.
Li Zetian served as chairman of Alphabet, Bill Gates served as executive director and CEO of Alphabet, and the CEO of Microsoft was given to someone else.
At this moment, the Wall Street authoritative evaluation agency has valued Alphabet at ***** USD, and it has become the largest Internet technology company in the world! ! And Apple's valuation is far from the peak of its previous life, and is currently only $450 billion.
However, it is only 2005, and the Internet winter has not passed for a few years. Whether it is Alphabet or Apple, there is a lot of room for growth in the future.
Just after the establishment of the Alphabet company, Li Zetian decided to build a very high-tech headquarters to demonstrate the strength of Alphabet. Another purpose is to move Google and Microsoft to the Alphabet headquarters, so that the two companies will be more closely linked!
Li Zetian handed over the site selection and headquarters design to Bill Gates, and finally came up with some plans for him to choose.
…
Before I knew it, October 1st arrived.
The Android conference was held as scheduled.
The conference was co-hosted by Bill Gates and Google CEO Larry Page.
Because of the beauty of Apple's iOS system, when people see the Android system again, they are not as surprised as before. But even so, it was quite shocking.
"The sudden emergence of Android will definitely have a big impact on the Saipan system!" The mobile phone manufacturers of the Saipan Alliance frowned and whispered.
"Yeah, and Android is very amazing. At first glance, it is a mature product that has been developed for a long time. On the other hand, the Saipan system, due to the large amount of code, is difficult to modify, and the system itself is more difficult to develop than Android. It seems that there is no hope of promoting it this year..."
"Everyone now knows how popular multi-touch touch screen mobile phones are. The earlier a mobile phone is launched, the earlier it will occupy the market! Besides, Android is a mobile operating system jointly launched by Google and Microsoft, which will definitely be favored by many mobile phone manufacturers. !!!”
…
The expression of the chairman of Nokia changed greatly. At the critical moment of the transformation of Nokia and Symbian, he never expected that the Android system was launched so early, and it was as good as iOS!
That night, the chairman of Nokia launched a video conference with the people of the Saipan Alliance to discuss countermeasures. Of course, the most important thing is that he will come up with the Saipan system to tell a story, how the Saipan system is awesome, you don't want to abandon the Saipan system, And to develop Android phones.
However, no matter how powerful the Nokia chairman's mouth is and how hype, the new Saipan system has not yet been developed. Mobile phone manufacturers are scheming one by one, and it is impossible to leave money without making money.
In the video conference room, everyone said one thing, but behind their backs was another.
In fact, according to what Bill Gates told Li Zetian, at least seven mobile phone manufacturers in the Saipan Alliance contacted Alphabet after the conference.
By the second day, there was more.
Nokia is very embarrassed, the Symbian system is Nokia's, is it difficult for a strong man to break his wrist? But based on Li Zetian's understanding of Nokia, they absolutely do not have such courage, they should hold the Saipan system and go all the way until they reach the end of destruction...
A few days later, what worried Nokia's chairman finally happened.
Samsung held a press conference on the morning of October 5, announcing that it would abandon the Symbian system and turn to Android.
One stone shocked a thousand waves!
Samsung slapped Nokia in the face with a "papapapa", and even caused a big crack in the already precarious Saipan system ship, which will soon sink.
On the afternoon of the day when Samsung issued a statement, several mobile phone manufacturers in the Saipan Alliance expressed their willingness to develop mobile phones for the Android system!
Of course, in fact, they want to secretly develop Android mobile phones, but Li Zetian made it clear that if you want to develop Android, you must give up the Saipan system and hold a press conference immediately. No way, some phone makers can only agree. However, they have also figured out that making a statement can dampen the morale of the Saipan system and prevent the development of the Saipan system. The ultimate beneficiary is not their Android phone manufacturers? !
At this time, the chairman of Nokia was so angry that he almost vomited blood and fainted, and he kept scolding these guys for being untrustworthy, but no matter how ugly the scolding, the Saipan Alliance has already existed in name only, and more and more mobile phone manufacturers have begun to defect...
"Work overtime for me, I must develop the Symbian system as quickly as possible!!!" Nokia's chairman yelled at the engineers of the Symbian system. Right now, Nokia is throwing everything and counting on the new Symbian system. . Only by launching the Saipan system as soon as possible can the decline be restored!
