It must be said that many mobile phone companies were somewhat tempted by the olive branch extended by Google, with such generous terms.
After all, the Android system was already the third-ranked smartphone system globally, with a market share exceeding 3%.
If everyone abandoned the Geek smartphone system and switched to Android, Android's market share would definitely increase rapidly.
Ultimately, the value and revenue of the Android system would rise accordingly, and everyone, as shareholders, would naturally share in the benefits and returns after Android's rise.
Moreover, the most important thing was that Google even promised to grant a certain number of Android system shares for every certain number of phones sold within a corresponding period.
This meant that as long as their phones used the Android system, they could obtain Android system shares without spending a penny! This would be reality!

Therefore, those mobile phone manufacturers were all somewhat tempted, wanting to join the Android system company and share in the benefits of the Android system.
And this was quite bad news for Geek Technology Company.
After all, if these mobile phone manufacturers really adopted the Android system, then Android's market share would definitely increase accordingly.
The impact of the Android system on Geek Technology Company at that time would definitely not be much less than the rise of the iPhone, or even worse.
After all, before they only had to fight Apple, but now they had to fight all mobile phone brands, how could the pressure not be great?
However, things did not change according to people's will. Faced with the olive branch extended by Google, many companies really chose to accept their olive branch.
Motorola, LG, Blackberry, Sony Ericsson, and other four major mobile phone manufacturers successively announced their cooperation with Google.
These collaborations mainly took two forms: spending money to buy shares in the Android system company, or signing a gambling agreement with Google.
Among them, the proportion of companies buying shares was usually around ten to one percent, with Google still being the absolute major shareholder.
As for the companies that signed the gambling agreement, they mainly reached gambling agreements with Google and the Android system company.
For example, if they sold N million mobile phones equipped with the Android system within a time limit, they could hold a certain amount of Android system shares, and so on.
The calculation formula for this gambling agreement was still very troublesome, but overall, Google's decentralization this time was also very thorough.
Once these agreements were all completed, Google's shareholding ratio would not exceed 35%. It could be said that Google really bet everything.
Fortunately, Google really bet right this time. At least Motorola, LG, Blackberry, Sony Ericsson, and other four major mobile phone manufacturers joined the Android system camp.
Finally, coupled with Nokia and Samsung, which had already joined in advance, the number of established mobile phone manufacturers that announced they would use the Android system reached six.
Therefore, the call for the imminent rise of the Android system echoed in domestic and foreign technology media.
Domestic and foreign technology media also boasted about the power of the six major mobile phone manufacturers.
Then they sang the praises of the Geek smartphone system, claiming how tragic the future of the Geek smartphone system would be, and so on.
In the reports of these media, Geek Technology Company seemed to be on the verge of bankruptcy, and the Geek smartphone system was about to decline tomorrow.
However, they also didn't think about the fact that the current number of users of the Geek smartphone system had already exceeded 100 million, and its smartphone market share exceeded 80%.
It can only be said that the media's mouth is a deceiving ghost.
Of course, their words also made some sense.
The reason is that the Android system will indeed rise due to the support of the six major established mobile phone companies, and its development will be faster than before.
Even if these established mobile phone companies are half-hearted, and their smartphones will use both the Geek smartphone system and the Android system.
But their behavior of adopting the Android system is also gradually increasing the number of Android system users in an invisible way. Therefore, Geek Technology Company will indeed suffer a huge impact due to Google's 'brilliant' behavior, and there is a risk of a sharp drop in market share.
Of course, as of now, it is not so easy for the Android system to threaten the Geek smartphone system.
After all, the Android system itself has phenomena such as consuming memory and not strictly managing software and game developers.
These lead to the Android system consuming a lot of hardware and memory. The same hardware performance is used on the Apple iOS system and the Android system.
The performance of the Android system will be laggy, while the Apple iOS system will be quite smooth.
And this generation's Android system naturally inherited the same problems as in the previous life, after all, it was the same development team and the same developers.
So the fact that the Android system consumes a lot of memory and software expands in an disorderly manner also exists.
Therefore, the Android system is actually not a very good smartphone system, which Gao Nian deeply understands.
In addition, this generation's Android system also has two major fatal flaws.
The first fatal flaw is the facial recognition function. The current Android system has not yet developed the facial recognition function.
Although they can forcibly launch the facial recognition function, the cost is that users need to make actions such as opening their mouths, nodding, blinking, and turning their heads to unlock the screen.
This is naturally a rather stupid behavior, so they need to honestly bypass Geek Technology Company's facial recognition algorithm and develop their own facial recognition technology.
Otherwise, they are destined not to think about the facial recognition function of the Android system, and can only take the fingerprint recognition route like the iPhone4.
As for the second fatal flaw, it is the artificial intelligence assistant built into the mobile phone system.
Although Google immediately launched its own artificial intelligence assistant, codenamed 'GoogleNow', after Apple launched artificial intelligence Siri in January of this year, 2009.
But now, as Google shifts its focus and funds to artificial intelligence search engines, the 'Google Now' artificial intelligence research and development project has naturally come to an end.
Not only was the team disbanded, but the useful technologies of 'Artificial Intelligence GoogleNow' will also be integrated into the new artificial intelligence search engine technology.
Therefore, the Android system is destined not to have its own artificial intelligence assistant in the short term, and can only watch the Geek smartphone system and the Apple iOS system flaunt their power.
Therefore, in the short term, not only the facial recognition function, but also functions including the artificial intelligence assistant are destined to be unusable by the Android system.
Although there are now more shareholders in the Android system, theoretically everyone donating a little bit can definitely support the research and development of the Android system.
But now, the landlord's family does not have much surplus food. Chinese smartphones rely on first-mover advantages and cost-performance advantages.
They have already gone abroad like the domestic mobile phone manufacturers in the previous life, and are frantically selling their Chinese-brand smartphones worldwide.
This has also put traditional mobile phone brands under tremendous competitive pressure, with sluggish sales.
