Chen Yu could not be blamed for underestimating Microsoft.
Of course, he was not underestimating them either.
This was considered separately.
No matter how strong Microsoft was, it was impossible for them to do everything well.
For example, Chen Yu felt that Microsoft was not doing a good job in the mobile operating system.
Not only was it not good, but it was also far inferior to some of the newer players.
In his previous life, Microsoft had created two mobile operating systems.
The first model was Windows Mobile, which was launched by Microsoft.
It should be said that Windows Mobile was the second most popular mobile operating system after Nokia's Symbian operating system.
Windows Mobile's market share on feature phones was not bad.
Microsoft had even upgraded Windows Mobile at this time.
But no matter what.
Windows Mobile was the same as Nokia's Symbian. It was too old.
Or rather, it was not the problem of being old.
Windows Mobile and the Symbian operating system were not developed for touch-based smartphones.
Although they could upgrade on this basis and develop a system that was compatible with touch-based smartphones, it was useless to upgrade.
It was difficult to improve the fatal innate shortcomings through hard work.
The second one was Microsoft's Windows, which was launched in 2010.
phone。
Phone was undoubtedly better than Windows Mobile because it was an operating system specially designed for smartphones.
But unfortunately, although this was a brand new operating system, and it seemed to have many advantages. For example, the download speed was faster than Android and Apple, and it used less memory … etc. But Microsoft also made a fatal mistake. Although this was a brand new operating system, their development concept was to use computer thinking to develop a smartphone system. In the eyes of Microsoft, they thought that smartphones were the same as computers. Although in theory, smartphones could do almost 99% of the tasks on computers. But smartphones were still very different from computers, and this difference determined that the smartphone operating system could not be the same as the PC operating system.
Years later, when Microsoft finally understood this point, their Windows.
Phone's market share was already 0.001%.
In the end, Microsoft even gave up on the smartphone operating system market.
"Let's go, Brother Jian, let's have a drink."
"Boss Chen, are you that happy?"
"Of course."
Chen Yu said excitedly.
Previously, he had been worried about Nokia.
After all, this guy was the world's mobile phone leader. Even though Huanyu Technologies had risen to prominence, their position had not been shaken yet.
Their cell phone shipments were still number one in the world.
If Nokia really wanted to fight with them, Chen Yu would have to spend years or even decades.
However, he didn't expect that.
Nokia was still on the same path as Feng Yu's previous life.
He couldn't be blamed.
The arrival of a new era was not something that any company could keep up with.
Even though Nokia used to be the overlord of the mobile phone industry.
"Come, come, come. Brother Jian, let's go."
"Sure, it's been a long time since I last ate skewers."
"Yeah, ever since the company got bigger and bigger, we rarely hang out together. However, he was really happy today. I feel like I'll have to retire in another three years. "
While drinking beer, Chen Yu ate the kidney.
Recently, his nutrition hadn't been able to keep up, so he had to nourish himself.
"Retire in three years?"
Zhang Jianming was stunned. "Damn, how old will you be in three years?"
"25. What's wrong?"
"Isn't it a little too early to retire at 25?"
"It's a little early, but it can't be helped if I don't retire. It's lonely to be invincible."
"Pfft …"
Zhang Jianming was amused by Chen Yu's invincible look.
"What, you don't believe me?"
"Boss Chen, Huanyu Technologies is indeed different from the past. We're strong in all aspects, but our opponents are also very strong."
"They are strong, but no matter how strong they are, they're still paper tigers."
"Boss Chen, you're too confident."
"If you don't believe me, you can come and see Nokia in three years. Forget it, it's a little late in three years. It's useless to say it now. If you want to know, just look at Li Nan's recent actions. "
"Boss Chen, Li Nan recently went to the US. Oh yes, and Xie Zhang. "
Zhang Jianming talked about Li Nan and Xie Zhang's recent actions, and then said, "But instant messaging is quite sticky. I'm afraid we won't be able to achieve much in the short term."
"That's not necessarily true."
Chen Yu shook his head. "Instant messaging is quite sticky, but it's not impossible to change. Mobile phone numbers are very important, and they can also be changed, let alone instant messaging. Moreover, the previous instant messaging strategy was in PC mode. Of course, we can't do anything to them in PC mode, but the instant messaging strategy in smartphones is different. "
Although there were many similarities between PC and smartphones, to be honest.
The two were two completely different things.
The successful experience in PC mode could not be used in instant messaging.
Even if it was MSN, ICQ … no matter how sticky these companies were, smartphones could still crush them in a very short period of time.
Previously, when Li Nan was in North America, Chen Yu had taught him a lot.
Coupled with Huanyu Technologies' smartphone experience, Chen Yu believed that Li Nan's performance would not disappoint him.
…
"Xiaolong, how is it? Are you confident?"
"Boss Lee, what about you?"
"Haha …"
North America, Huanyu Telecommunications Headquarters.
Because of the previous inspection in North America, Li Nan had already sent people to North America to do the basic work.
This time, Li Nan did not only come to North America alone, but he also brought along a very important programmer.
This programmer was Zhang Xiaolong.
If it was in Feng Yu's previous life, almost everyone knew Zhang Xiaolong.
Although Zhang Xiaolong was not as famous as he was in Feng Yu's previous life, he was still famous in the industry.
As early as 1997, Zhang Xiaolong was already a little famous.
At that time, he developed an email software called Foxmail.
This software has a special feature, and that is, it can accurately identify spam.
When this email software was released, it was a huge success. In 2000 alone, they accumulated 2 million users.
If it was based on the time, Huanyu Technologies was just a little brother compared to Foxmail at that time.
However, Zhang Xiaolong later sold this email software to Bo Da for 12 million. Later, Huanyu Technologies felt that their YY email was too weak, so they bought it from Bo Da. Since then, Foxmail had become Huanyu Technologies's. Later, Li Nan asked Zhang Xiaolong to come out of retirement and let Zhang Xiaolong be in charge of YY email. In three years, Zhang Xiaolong made YY email the number one in the country.
Here's a piece of gossip.
At that time, Lei Jun wanted to buy Zhang Xiaolong's Foxmail in 1998. At that time, Zhang Xiaolong casually asked for 150,000. Lei Jun agreed, but a month later, Lei Jun became the CEO of Kingsoft Games. A lot of things made him physically and mentally exhausted, and the person in charge of contacting him did not understand the value of Foxmail.
In the end, Lei Jun missed out on Foxmail.
Now, Li Nan had a new mission, which was to control the global instant messaging market.
Zhang Xiaolong once again took on this heavy responsibility and developed a brand new instant messaging software.
His name was WeChat.
