166 Join in the fun
"Tim Cook visits China? Did Apple really make up its mind to give up iOS?" Eric Schmidt, the president of the world's most fun high-tech company and the head of Google, sat in a comfortable boss chair and muttered to himself.●⌒,.
There is no slander to say that Google is the most fun company in the world, but it is the truth. Many companies even directly classify Google as a rogue company, a shit-scratch company, a cheating company, etc. There is nothing good about it anyway. Of course, this is not unreasonable.
Investors who are following the technology sector in the US stock market can understand this by just reading Google's financial reports. Basically, Google's net income per month is more than 10 billion US dollars, more than 80% of this more than 10 billion US dollars comes from advertising revenue on Google's website, and more than 10% comes from advertising revenue on Google's cooperation with other websites.
In other words, more than 90% of Google's profits come from Google's advertising. Just like money falling from the sky, the income is very stable. However, as we all know, Google's investment field is not only a little bit.
Smartphones, Google Glasses, driverless cars, artificial intelligence, emails, 3D Earth, Google Maps, and the famous Android system..., etc., you can't count how much high-tech things this company has invested in. But compared Google's financial reports every quarter, you will find that the benefits brought by these industries are infinitely close to zero, and they even need to keep paying money, but Google is still happy.
What's even more terrifying is that Google has gathered a group of engineers from the world's most awesome x, with the world's most awesome x engineering research and development capabilities. It is conceivable how powerful this company is.
Perhaps it is because Apple can make a profit by selling mobile phones, tablets, and computers hard, but Google can make a profit by doing almost nothing. Google does not seem to take money seriously. Perhaps this money is too easy, so Google always finds ways to spend them. In short, they invest a lot of money in various fields, but do not seek returns at all. Instead, they play free cards, making other companies miserable.
I remember when the online mailbox was still implementing the VIP charging system, Google suddenly launched its own gmail. And played free cards, and directly killed all paid mailboxes around the world. There is no way. It is not only free, but also easy to use. It has functions that others have, and it can also provide functions that others do not have. How can we compete? This is really impossible to say, and it will be tears if we say too much...
The same is true for Android. Google has always claimed that spending 50 million to buy Android is the most wisest investment in Google's history. But the reality is that after Google bought Android, it invested at least billions of dollars to support in-depth development and upgrades of Android, but did it make money from Android? No! On the contrary, in order to support the Android alliance of manufacturers, it also has to work hard to enrich its various patent libraries to ensure that manufacturers using Android systems are not beaten by Microsoft and Apple with patent sticks.
In fact, perhaps Microsoft makes more money on the Android system than Google. Because of several lawsuits, countless Android manufacturers have to pay Microsoft tens of millions of dollars in patent licensing fees every year, but the Android system itself is free...
Well, someone will say that at least the neus on Google's smartphones are also the original Android system. At least after acquiring Android, Google has its own mobile phone system and successfully promoted Google Maps, 3D Earth, and Google App Store to thousands of terminals. Okay, but let's go back to Google's previous financial revenue statements and find that these are useless, because these are free and do not bring any profit to Google at all...
In short, Google is very powerful and Google is boring. Now the Google helmsman has begun to pay attention to the products of Datang Crown Technology. The significance of it is self-evident.
"Iris, I don't seem to have anything important these days. Why not go to the mysterious country of the East? The military parade blue I saw in the video some time ago is really beautiful..." After learning that Tim Cook had confirmed his itinerary to go to China, the Google president seemed to be planning to join in the fun on a whim.
"Eric. It's not a good idea to go to China at this time, right? Are you trying to acquire the Prince's Intelligent System? If the Chinese had not developed this amazing programming software, it is possible that anyone can see the huge market potential of this system after it is equipped with this program. No one will be willing to sell a golden chicken that can lay eggs!" Larry Page, one of the three giants of Google sitting next to Eric Schmidt, spread his hands and dissuaded.
"No, no, no, Larry, I know that Chinese people will not sell them, but it does not mean that I can't try it. My main purpose is not to acquire this system. I just have a small wish to embed our app store into the core of this system. I believe that as long as we pay a sufficient price, Chinese people will not refuse! Think about it. Larry, if Tim Cook really negotiates the business with Chinese people this time, Apple's new equipment will bring our Google app store in the future. Such a wonderful future will make me excited just thinking about it!" Eric Schmidt said with a smile.
"We all know that this is impossible!" Larry Page is obviously much more rational than Eric Schmidt. "Even if Apple really reaches an agreement with the Chinese, it will definitely require the Chinese to provide Apple's exclusive system. How could it be possible for our application store to enter Apple devices?"
However, this statement obviously did not convince the whimsical Google Ceo. Eric Schmidt just waved his hand and said, "Larry, you are too pessimistic. As long as you pay enough price, nothing is impossible. Now Apple needs Chinese people, not Chinese people need Apple. This has the basis for us to get into a single step. Besides, I can accept that Google's online store will enter Apple, and Apple's app store can also enter our Google smart devices. This is fair. Taking a step back, it's just a trip to China, and we have no losses. From 2008 to now, I haven't been to that big country in the East for seven years. Maybe I will have any unexpected gains?"
Obviously, these words convinced Larry Page, nodded and said, "Okay, as you wish, but you won't choose to set off tomorrow, right?"
"Of course not, the day after tomorrow, we have to give Cook a day after tomorrow. I'll leave the day after tomorrow, but we can already release the news, so there is no need to find so many excuses. In addition to talking to the Chinese media, we can directly reveal the intention of us to seek cooperation from the Chinese people!" (To be continued.)
