Chapter 175: #175 - The new landscape of the smartphone system market, Gao Nian’s ambition!

After all, while Steve Jobs did invent the smartphone and use it to change the world and people's lifestyles,

the problem is that Jobs was heavily suppressed by Gao Nian after inventing the smartphone, and he didn't invent any other great products afterward.

This also led to Jobs's reputation being high, but not as high as in his previous life, making it difficult to reach the point where people mindlessly and crazily worshiped him.

Therefore, the iPhone 5 smartphone did not experience a surge in sales due to Jobs's death, and Apple did not soar because of Jobs's death.

Instead, with Jobs's passing, Apple's stock price experienced an unprecedented crash.

On that day alone, Apple's stock price plummeted by 20%, which was quite tragic.

Of course, while Apple suffered a huge impact, it's unlikely that it would completely lose its future.

After all, Apple's iOS smartphone system is the second-largest smartphone system in the world.

With that 30% Apple tax and thousands of iPhones, Apple can still live very comfortably.

So, although Apple's stock price was hit hard by Jobs's death, it's still not dead and is still living comfortably.

It is still a strong competitor to Geek Technology in the smartphone field and still has the potential to cause Geek Technology to crash.

However, based on the current installed base and market share of the smartphone system, the Geek smartphone system is already too big to fail.

Even if Apple can cause the Geek smartphone system to crash, it's destined to be something that cannot be accomplished in a short period.

It will take at least three or four years to potentially cause the Geek smartphone system to crash.

After learning this result, Gao Nian was completely relieved.

Therefore, Gao Nian subsequently decided to take advantage of this few years' window to work hard to make up for the shortcomings and deficiencies in China's mid-to-high-end fields!

The first shortcoming is the issue of purely domestic computers!

Gao Nian, who was reborn from 2024, knows that even by 2024, purely domestic computers have no way to rise.

Because American companies have deeply blocked the rise of purely domestic computers through the 'system' and 'hardware' locks.

So that purely domestic computers still have no chance to rise, not even a chance to struggle.

Because in the field of computer systems, Microsoft's Windows system has already dominated, and they have built a thick and invincible patent wall.

Other computer systems cannot be compatible with the game and software ecosystem of the Windows system.

Subsequently, because there are no games and software, the purely domestic computer system will directly die on the day of release.

The same is true for the X86 CPU processor. Although Zhaoxin in the previous life cooperated with VIA in Bay Island, thereby indirectly obtaining the authorization of the X86 instruction set,

it can eventually research and produce CPU processors with the X86 instruction set. But the problem is that as time develops to the present, the X86 instruction set is only the most core and critical instruction set.

For today's computer CPU processors, in addition to the most core X86 instruction set, there are other instruction sets.

For example, the SSE4 instruction set and the AVX instruction set, and these instruction sets have not been authorized to VIA.

This also means that many games and software cannot be run on your processor because it lacks relevant instruction sets.

Of course, you may be able to develop your own multimedia instruction set and other auxiliary instruction sets.

But the problem is that Microsoft's Windows system does not support your instruction set, so the instruction set you developed is useless.

This is the system lock and the hardware lock!

Relying on the hardware lock and the system lock, American companies have deeply controlled the lifeline and entry barrier of computers,

leaving you with no way to go to heaven or earth!

Therefore, let alone 2024, it is estimated that even in 2030 or even 2035, purely domestic computers still have no way to rise!

This is also the eternal pain in the hearts of Gao Nian and countless people.

Gao Nian has a chance in this life and naturally wants to do something.

Because if he doesn't take action, then this life will definitely be the same as before, and until 2024, the rise of purely domestic computers will still be a dream!

Of course, considering that the x86 computer system is deeply rooted and has built an unbreakable patent wall,

and Intel has firmly controlled the X86 instruction set and related instruction set authorization, and Microsoft's Windows system is unlikely to support other instruction sets.

If Geek Technology wants to intervene in the computer field and change the fate of the purely domestic computer industry, it is destined that it cannot integrate into the x86 computer hardware system or integrate into the Windows system.

The only thing Geek Technology can do is to directly overthrow the x86 computer system and overthrow the hegemony of the Windows system!

And wanting to do this is destined to be not an easy thing, and it is also the most difficult path.

Because global computer users have completely become accustomed to using the Windows system and its operating methods.

Moreover, Windows has decades of software and games accumulated on top of it, forming an extremely large software and game ecosystem.

Even if your new Geek computer system is backed by the Geek smartphone system and supported by the mobile games and software of the Geek smartphone system,

the games and software on the smartphone system are ultimately developed according to the operating mode of the smartphone.

This means that those game and software developers need to make small or even major changes to their games and software!

This process of small or even major changes is not much easier than porting the game to another smartphone system and also requires a lot of money.

Among them, many game and software developers will give up, and even if the number of users of the Geek computer system is not large.

Then even if you give money to those game and software developers, they will also give up on the Geek computer system!

Therefore, if Geek Technology wants to defeat the Windows system and defeat the x86 computer system,

the difficulty is no less than letting the Apple iOS system defeat the Geek smartphone system, and it can even be said that the difficulty is several times greater than the Apple iOS system defeating the Geek smartphone system!

Therefore, this is a hell-level difficulty, a task that is destined to be impossible to complete in two or three years!

If you want to completely defeat the Windows system and the X86 computer system and make the x86dows system collapse, it will take at least 5 years or even 10 years.

In these 5 or 10 years, the sales share of the Geek computer system must reach more than 70% for a long time.

Because users cannot change computers in two or three years. If they save a bit on a computer and don't play the latest games, it is actually very normal to use it for more than ten years.

Therefore, the fastest speed for users to change computers is about four or five years, and it is normal to use a computer for seven or eight years before changing to a new one.

This also leads to the fact that even if Geek Technology can completely defeat the products of companies such as Intel, AMD, and Nvidia in terms of sales in one or two years,

and then completely defeat the Windows system in terms of the installed base of the Geek computer system, it does not actually mean that it can really defeat the x86 computer system or defeat the Windows system.

Because they have been selling computers for decades, and under the long cycle of users changing computers at the fastest in four or five years, and as long as seven or eight years or even nearly ten years,

even if their sales are not good in one or two years, it does not mean that the X86 computer system has collapsed or that the Windows system has perished.

Therefore, if Geek Technology wants to completely subvert the x86 computer system and completely kill the Windows system,

it must be prepared for a minimum of 5 years and a maximum of 10 years, with the sales share of the Geek computer system being greater than 70%!

Therefore, this is a long-term war, a war that is destined to not end in a short time, and it is also destined to be a difficult war of attrition!
