Chapter 285 Still Samsung

HTC's first smartphone was named PDAPhone, which, as the name suggests, is a handheld computer mobile phone. Zhou Liwen won the physical object of this phone not long after, and Liao Yuancheng's test report was also delivered to Zhou Liwen.

HTC has been famous for making PDA products before. This PDAPhone also has their strong PDA product shape, which is slightly different from HTC's first smartphone in history. This phone combines the QWERTY full keyboard with the PDAPhone, and the payment is equipped with the Microsoft Smartphone2002 platform, which is almost a replica of the second HTC smartphone in history. Judging from the experimental test data, although the HTC phone does not have the system functions of the Orz phone, it is not inferior to the single PDA product in the market because the payment is equipped with the Microsoft Smartphone2002 platform.

In addition, Microsoft is currently the world's largest software company, its brand is still very famous. With this name alone, the HTC smartphone will definitely win the favor of many consumers.

In terms of price, HTC is basically the same as Orz. Wang Caishen is not Cai Mingjie. He has his unique business skills in doing business. Moreover, under the premise of Orz's success, HTC does not need to fight a price war in terms of price. The smartphone market is large and HTC is ambitious. Their purpose is to build HTC into a new mobile phone manufacturing giant like the sudden rise of Orz.

As for the content of the European operator agreement between HTC and Telecom, although Zhou Liwen failed to get the detailed content, he still made great concessions to enter the European market through a series of collected intelligence. Compared with Zhou Liwen, Telecom is much more ruthless than French Telecom. In some agreements, HTC has suffered considerable losses.

But overall, HTC's concession is worth it. Because the other party quickly announced that it had received a large number of orders from Europe and manufactured OEM for some European small and medium-sized mobile phone companies with this PDAPhone as the core. Zhou Liwen still admired HTC's aspect. On the basis of being behind Orz, he used such concessions to enter the market as soon as possible, and then obtained cooperation with Europe through OEM. If it were Zhou Liwen, he would probably have made the same choice.

Strangely, there is no news about Tsai Mingjie. Logically speaking, as a partner of HTC, Tsai Mingjie should have a significant impact on this smartphone, but the Taiwan Strait only did not mention Tsai Mingjie at all, just as if he had disappeared.

Just when Zhou Liwen was confused about this, the news about Tsai Mingjie finally came. It was a bit surprising. Due to the many crises, the board of directors of MediaTek could not continue to support it. Finally, it announced that the entire MediaTek was broken up and sold. As the previous chairman and president, Tsai Mingjie transformed into a transformation. After another company and South Korea's Samsung directly acquired a large number of MediaTek's core businesses, MediaTek issued a statement of indefinite closure.

This means that MediaTek has become history since this day. Cai Mingjie cleverly changed his vest and made a comeback. The new company was named Taiwan-Korea United Technology Co., Ltd., abbreviated as Taiwan-National Technology. Cai Mingjie owns 57% of the shares and becomes the chairman and president of Taiwan-National Technology. Samsung Group owns 33% of the remaining shares, and the remaining 10% is composed of other shareholders.

Although the abandoned MediaTek has not completely collapsed, it is just a reason for time. Moreover, Tsai Mingjie, who keeps MediaTek's shell, can do something and take the opportunity to deal with the mainland. Otherwise, it is basically impossible for him to return to the mainland. Only if MediaTek's brand is still alive and still can't stand it, Tsai Mingjie has room for maneuver in private.

The sales of HTC smartphones are very good after being launched in Taiwan Strait, Xiangjiang, Japan and other places. Although this phone cannot be sold normally in mainland China because there is no approval from the mainland yet. There are many people who have brought it to the mainland for purchasing agents in the Xiangjiang area. In some IT streets in various cities, the shadow of this phone can be easily seen.

However, compared with Orz's market share, HTC is far inferior, but Zhou Liwen did not relax his vigilance at all. HTC has arrived, and next is Nokia and other mobile phone companies. There will be more and more smartphones on the market, and the competition between each other will become increasingly fierce.

Zhou Liwen had already made plans for subsequent smartphone development. Apart from the hardware updates and replacements caused by technological development, the new smartphone functions will become more and more powerful, and now popular keyboard input is gradually banned by touch screen technology. Touch screen technology was actually invented by Dr. Samuel Hurst, a teacher at the University of Kentucky Research Foundation in the United States as early as 1974. This technology was born on the touch sensor he invented in 1971. Dr. Samuel Hurst is also known as the father of touch screens.

Since 1977, touch screen technology has begun to develop rapidly and has become a series, including capacitive, resistive, infrared, surface acoustic and MTK. Compared with the popular mobile phone touch screens in later generations, including tablet computer touch screens, capacitive touch screens are the most suitable choice. In Zhou Liwen's next smartphone development, touch screens are a very critical step.

Among domestic manufacturers, including some foreign touch screen manufacturers, Zhou Liwen has conducted a series of tests on his products, but what disappointed him is that neither TCL's technology nor even the technology of some Japanese manufacturers could meet his requirements.

Multi-contact, sensitive, without lag, and has perfect color resolution... These are Zhou Liwen's requirements for touch screens. But it is precisely these requirements that a large number of manufacturers cannot meet the requirements, and only those that can meet the requirements are Samsung products that Zhou Liwen has always been wary of.

Faced with this result, Zhou Liwen couldn't help but sigh. Samsung was called the world's best touch screen manufacturer in his previous life. This sentence is true. It's not afraid of not knowing the goods, but rather comparing goods. Compared with Samsung's touch screens, the other factory products are basically slag.

Of course, Zhou Liwen believes that perhaps in a few years, with the improvement of technology, some factories will also meet his requirements. But can Zhou Liwen wait for these years? Of course, the answer is no! Zhou Liwen can wait for several years. According to his plan, by next year, Orz's second touch screen smartphone will have to be released, otherwise it will lose its dominance in the market.

In addition to hardware, there is also software. The most important point of a smartphone system is the word intelligence, so application software is extremely important.

At present, smartphones have just been released. With the stable operating system, the smart system developed by Orz can barely satisfy consumers' use. But just like Microsoft's window software, this is just an operating system. If the computer needs to be used, it must also have various application systems equipped with operating systems to play a role. Zhou Liwen understands the importance of this, just like the later Apple Store platform has been developed in cooperation with Cisco, and his Orz Mobile, Network Company and Cisco are nervously improving the Orz application store.

When the second generation of smartphones is released, the Orz app store will be officially announced. This is Zhou Liwen’s killer weapon. With the role of relying on the app store platform and opening up the system, it can promote the development of smartphones and also make Orz phones have a large number of real hardcore users.

Zhou Liwen is not too worried about software, and he is not paying attention to chip systems. These are not too big problems in his opinion. However, on the touch screen, Zhou Liwen has always been undecided. He can never make up his mind whether to cooperate with Samsung in South Korea.

The powerful Zhou Liwen of Samsung is very clear that he does not want to establish a stronger opponent for himself because of this cooperation. Moreover, although there is no direct conflict between the two parties at present, Zhou Liwen's hands and feet in Samsung approval still makes him feel a little guilty. But except for Samsung, Zhou Liwen does not face many choices. If he chooses a touch screen manufacturer that cannot meet his requirements, even if he creates a new smartphone, it will lead to the failure of his product.

Zhou Liwen, who has used smartphones such as Apple in his previous life, knows the role of touch screens as key components of smartphones. Imagine a smartphone that is slow to react during use and even has many problems with touch screens. How could it be popular among consumers?

After thinking about it, Zhou Liwen finally chose to negotiate with Samsung. However, he did not come forward directly, but asked Liao Yuancheng to convey his intention to negotiate with Samsung through cooperation with Goryeo University. However, unexpectedly, Samsung quickly responded. Samsung expressed extremely strong interest in cooperation with Orz, and also proposed a request to invite Zhou Liwen to meet in South Korea. After receiving the invitation, Zhou Liwen was a little unsure of Samsung's real intention for a while, but he still agreed to the invitation.

In September, Zhou Liwen waited for the people who accompanied him to South Korea for negotiations in Shanghai. Among them, not only were Liao Yuancheng and Pang Yishan, but even Sgopa Zhou Liwen specially asked them to participate. This was mainly because the Koreans' attitude towards Americans and towards Chinese people. If the US participates, they may gain some unexpected results. What's more, Sgopa and Orz are currently integrated. After cross-swap stock exchange, Orz's business part is represented by Sgopa from a business perspective. As for Cisco, although they did not come forward directly, Sgopa's personnel also represent Cisco's interests.
