Chapter 109: #109 - The big move of Gu Ge Company, the shortcomings of geek smartphone systems!

According to the information released by Geek Technology, since the launch of the Geek S1 smartphone on September 3, 2008.

In these two months, the sales of the Geek S1 smartphone have quietly exceeded million units.

Among them, the total number of mobile phones sold in the China region in these two months is million, and the total number of mobile phones sold in the United States is 210,000!

The US market has seen the most rapid sales growth. It has not even been a week since the Geek S1 smartphone was launched in the US market.

However, 210,000 mobile phones have been sold, fully demonstrating the strong sales potential of the US market.

It can only be said that the United States is indeed a beacon of the world. The people of this country are really rich and willing to spend money.

But thinking about it, even the most humble job, a dishwasher, earns about $2,700.

For them, $499 and $599 are not a considerable amount of money.

It's only equivalent to a fraction or a few tenths of their salary, so how could they not afford it?

Therefore, the people of the United States are truly rolling in money. Thus, it is normal to sell 210,000 Geek S1 smartphones in less than a week.

November 3, 2008, United States, California, Mountain View, Google headquarters.

At this time, Google's headquarters was filled with more than a dozen company executives, and the atmosphere was quite dull.

Because the marketing department had already reported on the situation of the Geek S1 smartphone and the Geek smartphone system.

When Google executives heard that the Geek S1 smartphone had sold a full million units in these two months.

Their eyebrows furrowed deeply, because the threat posed by Geek Technology was greater than they had imagined.

"Gentlemen, we must admit that the Chinese Geek Technology has become a huge threat to our Android system."

Google founder Larry Page set a theme for the upcoming meeting.

"Smartphones are the next era's trend, and also the key to our Google's future greatness. We cannot allow the market share of the Geek smartphone system to continue to increase crazily."

Speaking of this, Google founder Larry Page's eyes flashed with a firm look.

Larry Page has always had great ambitions for the mobile phone industry, and has always wanted to build a system empire as great as Microsoft in the mobile phone field.

Therefore, he took the lead in promoting Google's acquisition of the Android system. Subsequently, after taking over Google again in 2011 in his previous life, Google spent $ billion to acquire Motorola's mobile division.

Therefore, in terms of who values the mobile phone industry the most, and who values the Geek smartphone system the most, Larry Page is definitely number one.

"But how should we defeat the Geek smartphone system? Not to mention that they already have dozens of excellent games and software.

According to my understanding, in our United States, many well-known game and software developers have announced that they will develop games and software on the Geek smartphone system.

For example, Rockstar Games, they are said to be preparing to port "GTA3" to the Geek smartphone system.

Although the current Geek S1 smartphone performance does not support large 3D games like "GTA3", the phone performance will continue to increase.

Maybe the new mobile phone CPU processor and GPU graphics processor launched next year may be able to support games like GTA3."

At this time, Sergey, another founder of Google, expressed his concerns.

"Sergey, in the long run, victory has already stood on our side!"

Larry Page said his words, and said confidently:

"Nokia's market share accounts for 40%, and we have reached an alliance with Nokia.

In the future, their smartphones will all use our smartphone system, so in the long run, the winner must be us.

It's just that it still takes some time for Nokia's new smartphone to be born, so Geek Technology has the opportunity to be arrogant."

Speaking of this, Larry Page continued:

"However, although we are the ultimate winner in the long term, we cannot allow the Geek smartphone system to continue to grow rapidly.

Because according to the current development trend of the Geek smartphone system, when Nokia's N9 smartphone is launched in half a year, the sales of Geek smartphones may have exceeded 10 million units.

With the number of 10 million mobile phone devices, it is naturally destined that software and game developers will inevitably develop new games and software there.

Or port games and software to the Geek smartphone system, which will eventually bring trouble to our Android system. Therefore, we must curb the development of the Geek S1 smartphone in advance, thereby curbing the rapid increase in the market share of the Geek smartphone system."

Hearing this, the people present nodded slightly, and then Google President Eric asked:

"Does Mr. Larry Page have any suggestions?"

"Yes."

Larry Page nodded and said:

"I have studied the Geek smartphone for a long time, and I have a lot of understanding of the Geek smartphone, and I also know their fatal weaknesses."

Speaking of this, Larry Page raised a finger and said:

"The first weakness of the Geek smartphone system is the 30% channel commission fee of the Geek App Store.

They restrict the birth of third-party app stores through open source agreements, and force all mobile phone manufacturers to use the Geek App Store and Geek Pay.

This also means that for every mobile phone sold, as long as consumers have consumption behavior, Geek Technology can extract a 15% channel commission fee, leaving only 15% for mobile phone manufacturers.

And our Android system does not prohibit third-party app stores. As long as we publicize it vigorously, we can guide public opinion to attack Geek Technology and cause huge damage to their reputation!

It will also make many mobile phone manufacturers adopt our Android system because of the channel commission fee, because our Android system does not prohibit third-party app stores.

This also means that mobile phone manufacturers can bypass our "Google Play" app store and establish their own third-party app store.

Whether they extract a 30% channel commission fee, or a 50% channel commission fee, or even a 70% channel commission fee, etc., can be determined by themselves!"

To be honest, Larry Page actually envied Geek Technology's early forced bundling of the 'Geek App Store' and 'Geek Pay' trick.

Because this means that every user who uses the Geek smartphone system, as long as they have consumption behavior, 15% of the channel commission fee will belong to their Geek Technology.

Who wouldn't envy this kind of behavior of lying down and getting money without doing anything?
