Age of Dreams

Don't look at Jobs' promise so readily, in fact, if it weren't for Xiao Qi's dream\u0026! "

The iphone can be said to be the lifeblood of Jobs, allowing him to exchange his own lifeblood. It is conceivable how important the patent of the tablet computer and the dream pad application store are to him.

The tablet computer patent is good to say, Apple can buy some everywhere after gnashing its teeth, and then form a mutually restrictive exchange form with Fairy Company.

But the dream pad application store is different, the only one in the world.

Apple's strategists have already calculated that if Apple wants to create a similar iPhone app store (app store), it will take at least two years and US$5 billion to achieve the current dream pad. Half the level of the app store.

Attention!

It is half the level of the current dream pad application store, which means that two years later, compared with the dream pad application store at that time, I am afraid that it may not be as good as 20%, let alone 50%.

no way.

The preconceived advantage is simply too great.

Now almost 60% of the excellent electronic software companies have all entered the dream pad application store, and the remaining 40% are also gearing up, vowing to make a fortune in it.

Apple wants to recruit, but the dream pad is already on the market, as long as you enter the dream pad app store, you can collect money, and the number of customers there is very large, and it has already broken through the 10 million mark. Some of the software companies that entered first, some have earned tens of millions of dollars, and the crowd effect and wealth effect have appeared, attracting more and more companies and people.

Although everyone is optimistic about the iphone, it is a step late after all, and there is no way to compare with the money made by others in the dream pad app store.

December starts. Apple also began to contact some software and game application companies one after another, and some valued the exquisiteness of Apple's products and planned to join them.

But now seeing that the dream pad app store is making more and more money, some people can’t sit still anymore. There are more than a dozen companies taking advantage of the fact that the contract with Apple has not yet taken effect, and after losing hundreds of thousands of dollars, they defected to dream pad The embrace of the application store, and this trend has become more and more obvious recently.

The dream pad application store signed an exclusive agreement, and the electronic software companies and engineers in the world. There are only so many, and the dream pad application store that occupies the crowd effect and wealth effect is invincible.

It is very difficult for Apple to catch up with it on its own.

Jobs knew this very clearly from the very beginning, so he has been thinking about how to snatch the dream pad application store into his hands and become his own cornucopia.

As a result, the solution has not yet been figured out, and now I see that Samsung has also joined in. Suddenly Jobs felt that it seemed that a triangle alliance was added together. The power will be even greater!

Google bought Android, which has been researching smart systems, and the Android system derived from linux is destined to not be charged in the future. In this way, the smart era is likely to continue the original war of computers, chips, etc. : Free and fee, open and closed, just like friends. Can't run anywhere.

Jobs had suffered enough from Microsoft's Windows before. Although he proudly insisted on his own closed system, it did not mean that he was arrogant and believed that if he insisted on the 100% independence of the system in terms of mobile phones, there would be victory. Open system opportunities.

If he has an iphone app store in his hand. Then he has this confidence.

The problem was that Jobs didn't have one.

Therefore, if the Android system develops an open software and game platform, the iPhone will be beaten to the ground—because the iPhone cannot have other functions except for mobile Internet access. No matter how good and dazzling the machine is, it has no actual functions. Support, that is also a scum.

Fortunately, the dream pad application store is also independent and will not be open to the public.

If Apple joins in, it will be relatively independent and will not affect the software and system independence of the iPhone.

For this, Jobs can accept it, which is why he proposed joining the dream pad application store as a formal consideration.

Therefore, only Xiao Qi, the dream pad app store that stole his ideas, can make Jobs bow his head, and Xiao Qi has to thank the group of people who drove Jobs away before. Without the lessons they taught, Jobs today Today, I will not learn what is called "necessary compromise".

"I have another question." Jobs said to Xiao Qi: "Now Fairy, Samsung, and Apple are sharing the DreamPad app store. Are you planning to let new companies join in?"

"If there are no major accidents, I won't join again." Xiao Qi shook his head and said: "Three companies are already the bottom line, and if there are too many companies, it will not be easy to deal with."

"You don't want to make more money?" Jobs asked.

"They won't let me make this money." Xiao Qi said flatly: "The nature of the Android system determines their future trend of free software. There are many free software engineers, and pirated and imitated software will also Quite a few!"

Jobs hated this kind of pirated stuff the most, and said through gritted teeth, "Hmph! These bastards know how to plagiarize! They should all be sent to prison!"

Xiao Qi blushed for a while, coughed lightly and said, "By the way, Stephen, if you want to get the right to share, you have to promise me an additional condition, otherwise I won't agree to Apple's participation."

Jobs' eyes sharpened, and he finally endured it, and said with restraint, "Mr. Xiao, what else do you need?"

"This condition is not about money, it's a condition I personally proposed." Xiao Qi pointed to him: "Is there something wrong with your pancreas? If there is no effective treatment within a year, I will send it to you." Apple kicked out, you build an app store yourself!"

"what!?"

For the first time, Jobs was truly amazed.

What does this guy mean? (To be continued..)
