2486 [first mover advantage]

As for opening and licensing the chips and licensing the system to other mobile phone companies, it will affect the sales of Tianqi mobile phones. Xia Tian cannot deny this shortcoming.

But then again, even if you don’t do this, after other companies develop their own chips and systems, it will still affect the sales of Apocalypse mobile phones. This is something that will never be avoided.

However, Xia Tian believes that Apocalypse mobile phones can still maintain sales advantages.

Because he will guide the company's designers and engineers to develop new functions and add new highlights for Apocalypse mobile phones, such as cameras, GPS navigation, fingerprint unlocking, facial unlocking, etc., so that Apocalypse mobile phones will always be at the forefront of the times.

The reason why Apple phones are so popular is that their design has always been ahead of other mobile phone companies.

For example, the notch screen was first used by Apple mobile phones. At that time, many people complained that it was too ugly, but many of the subsequent mobile phone designs used notch screens; for example, fingerprint unlocking, it was first used by Apple, and then other mobile phone manufacturers followed up.

People are all fond of the old and old. Apart from antiques, as long as the Apocalypse mobile phone can always maintain its leading position, it will win the favor of consumers.

At that time, Tianqi Mobile will monopolize the high-end market and leave the mid- and low-end markets for other companies to divide it. In summer, this is the perfect thing.

If other companies counterattack, Tianxia Technology can also suppress it by controlling chip sales. Just like Qualcomm's limited supply on the grounds that its production capacity is insufficient, it has caused mainland mobile phone manufacturers to complain.

So no matter how you look at it, opening up authorized chips and systems is a matter of more benefits than disadvantages for Tianxia Technology.

"Okay, just do what I say." Xia Tian waved at Wang Xianguang and Wang Xianzong and said, "You must trust my judgment. When did I do something that was losing money?"

Hearing that he said, the Wang brothers looked at each other and had to nod.

To be honest, as far as they know, Xia Tian has never done anything to lose money. Many of the business decisions they had opposed before were proven to be correct in the end.

For example, the free and open source genius operating system is definitely a "prodigal son" in their opinion. But in the end it proves that free and open source is right, otherwise the genius operating system will not be popular in the world, and their servers will not be so easy to sell.

"Okay, then we know." The Wang brothers nodded.

...

After Tianxia Technology announced the opening of licensed chips and systems, many mobile phone manufacturers came to negotiate cooperation.

The Apocalypse mobile phone is beautiful, practical and advanced. Its advantages are obvious to everyone. If it weren't for its high price, it would probably be able to sell tens of millions of units, which is even better than Motorola's big brother.

Moreover, Apocalypse mobile phones also represent the direction of future mobile phone development, which is thin, large screens, and smart. If they don’t do this, they will sooner or later be run by Apocalypse mobile phones.

Therefore, many mobile phone manufacturers hope to introduce chips and systems of Apocalypse mobile phones to produce their own mobile phones.

As a result, TSMC's business surged, and the two major mobile chip production lines started construction 24 hours a day, and the supply was still in short supply. In addition, fifteen mobile phone manufacturers signed authorization letters for the genius mobile version operating system with Tianxia Technology.

This authorization letter authorizes these mobile phone manufacturers to use the genius mobile operating system for free, and can optimize and customize the system, but does not allow modification of the core of the operating system.

The authorization letter is signed every two years. If a mobile phone manufacturer violates the rules, in addition to compensation from Tianxia Technology, it may also be deprived of the free authorization of the genius operating system, and the genius operating system will not be allowed to be used again.

Once the genius operating system has an absolute advantage in the mobile phone system market, this punishment will definitely be a disaster for mobile phone manufacturers.

Because once the genius operating system has an absolute advantage in the market, all mobile application software development will revolve around the genius operating system. These colorful applications are also very attractive to consumers.

Once mobile phone manufacturers are deprived of their authorization, the mobile phones they produce will no longer be able to use the genius operating system, and they will no longer be able to use these mobile phone software, and many consumers will be lost.

This is just like the console battle back then. Sega's md clearly performs better, but because of the lack of third-party game support, the content is not rich enough, so it lacks attractiveness to players.

Therefore, Tianxia Technology can control mobile phone manufacturers through two channels: control authorization and chip supply.

Of course, even so, you can't be too domineering in doing things.

The current situation is like Tianxia Technology preparing a big cake and inviting its peers to eat. Although Tianxia Technology holds a knife in its hand and has the right to distribute the cake, it cannot divide the cake itself, and it cannot directly slam the table. It is necessary to ensure that everyone can eat the cake, so that they will not leave.

...

Of course, there are also mobile phone companies that are unwilling to cooperate with Tianxia Technology and decide to be self-reliant.

For example, Motorola, Nokia, Siemens, etc. are unwilling to rely on others to deliver their future to others. They believe that they can make a career with their own strength. So they have to develop their own chips, develop their own systems, and launch their own mobile phones.

Xia Tian knew that this was not easy, but he did not lose his vigilance. Companies like these need funds and technology, and they might be able to create miracles.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to seize the market before their mobile phones are launched.

When the market is occupied by mobile phones that use the genius operating system, even Nokia, Motorola, and Siemens will be useless even if they launch advanced mobile phones.

Just like in the previous life, the lumia mobile phone launched by Nokia is no worse than the Android phones at that time in terms of configuration and system. However, because the market had been occupied by the Android system at that time, it would be even more difficult to promote the lumia mobile phone.

Unless the lumia configuration, system, performance, and cost-effectiveness are much higher than Android phones, it is impossible to attract consumers away. This is the first-mover advantage!

In order to seize the market, Xia Tian proposed a way to reduce prices and promote prices.

Of course, if you directly offer 50% off on Apocalypse mobile phones, it would be too bullying. Customers who bought mobile phones before will feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, the price reduction has been reduced and the configuration has also been reduced. For example, the CPU chip is directly reduced by one level, the memory is reduced by half, the screen resolution is reduced, etc.

As a result, the cost will drop and the selling price will drop. Those who have already bought mobile phones earlier will naturally not have such big complaints.
