It's just a pity that when the Android system was released and open-sourced at the end of 2007, no one thought of such a brilliant, sly move.
If Larry Page at that time had known about such a good sly move, he would definitely have learned from Geek Technology's 'advanced experience'.
Directly prohibit the emergence of third-party app stores through the open-source agreement, and then take 15% from the 30% channel commission fee to appease the anger of mobile phone manufacturers, and the rest is his own.
How could it be like now, where there is absolutely no way to ban third-party app stores?
They can only watch other companies make big money by establishing third-party app stores, while Google can only watch.
In addition, Geek Payment is also a clever trick, because the Geek Smart Phone system prohibits third-party payment tools.
Payment behavior must be participated in by Geek Payment, which also facilitates the statistics of profit income and prevents game manufacturers and software from 'tax evasion'.
It can be said that Geek Technology relies on the set of tools of 'Geek Payment' to firmly hold 15% of the channel commission rights.
Among them, mobile phone manufacturers will also fully support 'Geek Payment' because there are too many games and software.
How to statistically analyze users' consumption behavior in each software and then get their own channel commission fee is a troublesome thing.
But now there is only one 'Geek Payment'. Without so many messy payment tools, everything is easy to count and clear at a glance.
So 'Geek App Store' and 'Geek Payment' are the best combination punches.
It is also the best tool for Geek Technology and mobile phone manufacturers to maintain their own interests and income.
However, for Google, your sharp weapon is my poison.
Watching Geek Technology rely on 'Geek App Store' and 'Geek Payment' to lie down and do nothing in the future and still be able to get so much money, Larry Page will naturally be extremely envious and jealous.
Of course, mistakes have their own advantages. At this time, because the Android system was open-sourced early, and the open-source agreement has already been announced, there is no way to learn from Geek Technology's mandatory binding 'Geek Tax'.
But this is precisely the advantage of their Android system. Because the Android system cannot prohibit third-party app stores.
Many mobile phone manufacturers with a little ambition, or those who do not want to share 15% of the profits with Geek Technology and want to exclusively occupy all channel commission fees, will definitely give priority to using their Android system!
After all, isn't it better to eat alone?
Why should we split the profits 50-50 with Geek Technology?
Raising his second finger, Larry Page continued:
The second fatal weakness of the Geek Smart Phone system is the security issue. Although they have open-sourced their mobile phone system, security is definitely not a problem.
But who told them it was a mobile phone system developed in China? We can promote the insecurity of the Geek Smart Phone system in the media.
Then let users worry about the insecurity of the Geek Smart Phone system, and then dare not buy the Geek S1 Smart Phone and dare not use the Geek Smart Phone system!
Wonderful.
Google's CEO Eric praised with a bright look in his eyes.
It is indeed a very brilliant suggestion.
Google's other founder, Sergey, couldn't help but praise.
Seeing this, Larry Page smiled and asked:
Do you have any other suggestions?
Hearing this, Sergey thought for a while and said:
I think we should also pay attention to our own smart phones. We can't put all our hopes on Nokia and other mobile phone manufacturers.
I think we can deeply customize and modify the G1 phone and create a capacitive screen version of the G1 phone!
A capacitive screen version of the G1?
That's right, with the popularity of the Geek S1 Smart Phone and the iPhone, buttonless phones are already the general trend. I have no objection.
Larry Page expressed his opinion.
The so-called G1 phone is a phone jointly developed by Google and HTC, and manufactured by HTC.
The phone code is HTCG1, which is the first Android phone in history. It was released at the end of September, and officially sold on October 22nd. It has been half a month since then.
Unfortunately, because it encountered the super-powerful Geek S1 Smart Phone, its sales performance was poor and it failed directly, which can be described as a complete loss.
In that case, let's settle this matter. In order to speed up the launch, let's use LG's IPS capacitive screen.
Sergey said his suggestion.
Hearing this, Google executives who felt that LG's IPS capacitive screen was too small directly suggested purchasing the capacitive screen from Jingji Crystal Screen Company, but it was eventually rejected by Larry Page.
After all, how can a phone jointly developed by Google use the phone screen of a competitor?
Although that is the phone screen of a joint venture of the competitor, the actual controller and leader of Jingji Crystal Screen Company is Geek Technology, that's right.
So, with this meeting, Google quickly took action.
In just less than three days, on November 6, 2008.
Google's founder Larry Page and Google's CEO Eric and others summoned the media and publicly attacked the security issues of the Geek Smart Phone system.
Then they publicly criticized the greed of the Geek Smart Phone system, accusing the '30% Geek Tax' of the Geek Smart Phone system of being so disgusting.
At the end, Google's CEO Eric and Google's founder Larry Page publicly stated that the Android system does not prohibit third-party app stores.
The hidden meaning is that if those mobile phone manufacturers use the Android system, they can establish their own app store, and all the channel commission fees are their own.
In this, although Google does not seem to get any benefits, if the Android system can dominate the market, there will naturally be many ways to make money in the future.
Therefore, Google must work hard to suppress and contain the rise of the Geek Smart Phone system and contain the growth of this company.
As for whether Google's public opinion offensive is useful?
Google's public opinion offensive is naturally useful, because Google is the leader in the global Internet field, the number one in search business, and the number one in GG revenue among Internet companies.
Therefore, Google's voice in front of global technology media is far superior to Geek Technology, and only in the Chinese region will it be beaten by Geek Technology.
Therefore, along with Google's voice, overseas Internet media, including Chinese Internet media, also reported on the 'Geek Tax'.
Countless experts also stood up at this time to popularize what 'Geek Tax' is and analyze what pitfalls there are in the Geek open-source agreement.
The final answer is undoubtedly all pointing to the fact that 'Geek Tax will increase consumers' consumption costs'. The original price of 100 yuan has directly become 130 yuan because of the 30 yuan 'Geek Tax'!
