Chapter 3876

Kang Peikai's face was dull. What now? What should Nokia do?

Now N97 is unsalable. Due to the absolute delay problem of this system, the phenomenon of high configuration and low power is really serious. What should Nokia do? Although Nokia's team of engineers can modify the Symbian system to improve its efficiency, it can alleviate the system jam phenomenon. But it is impossible to solve it completely. Because engineers underestimate the various subsequent effects of high configuration. In particular, the underestimation of the touch screen is the biggest mistake they have made this time.

After all, Nokia has never designed a touch-screen phone before, and the N97 is Nokia's first touch-screen phone. Touch screen and keyboard mobile phone are two completely different concepts. Nokia's engineers underestimated the system requirements of touch-screen phones, resulting in a mess of touch-screen performance.

Now for Compaq, the most important thing is not the N97, but what will Nokia do in the future? Now it has been proved that Nokia's current Symbian system is not good. What will Nokia do in the future? That's what Compaq really cares about. Nokia can tolerate a temporary failure, but not a long one. But now for Nokia, the N95 failed and the N97 failed. What about Nokia in the future?

According to the engineer's suggestion, the performance space of Symbian system is limited. Of course, the most important thing is that Symbian system is also a function machine system. Since it is a function machine system, it is doomed to have congenital defects and can not meet the demand of intelligent machine. So now Nokia needs an intelligent system. Otherwise, the end of Nokia will be miserable. Unless Nokia keeps going the feature phone route. However, it has entered the era of smart phones. If Nokia continues to follow the route of feature phones, its profits will be extremely limited. Now the high-end machine market is all smart machines, and it is high-end machines that make money. Low end machines don't make money at all, they just make money in the market. How can Nokia make money if it wants to go low-end all the time! How can we maintain without profit?

However, at present, Nokia does not have an intelligent system, which is the biggest problem of Nokia! Lin Feng has Pangu, Apple has IOS, Samsung, Motorola and Sony have Android. What does Nokia have?

Kang Peikai smiles bitterly. Nokia has nothing right now. Intelligent system is Nokia's biggest short board now. But Kang Peikai didn't know how to make up for this shortcoming.

In the eighth hour, the sales volume of N97 fell into a low ebb again. The total sales volume in the world was only more than 2000 units. In the ninth hour, the total sales volume in the world was less than 100 units. As for the 10th hour, the sales volume of N97 is in single digits. And accompanied by many have bought N97 users protest and return frenzy. This N97 system delay, touch failure and other issues, so that many users who bought N97 very angry. Their expectations of N97 are very high. As a result, N97 is so disappointing. In particular, those games, the card to die, there is no game pleasure. How can this be tolerated.

N97, like N95, is unsalable again. This is something Nokia never thought of before. They once imagined that N95 would be unsalable, but they never thought that N97 would be the same again. You know, the performance of N97 is definitely far better than that of N95, and it's a touch-screen mobile phone. How can it be unsalable. But the reality is cruel to draw Nokia a loud slap in the face.

The N97 is so unsalable. You want the N97 to sell well, but it turns out to be unsalable. As soon as the sales volume exceeds one million, it will be unsalable. How can Nokia accept this! Now for Nokia, the biggest problem is the operating system. Nokia doesn't have an intelligent system, which is its biggest weakness. But how to fill this short board?

Nokia lost! One after another, Nokia was confused. They are the king of mobile phone manufacturers, but they have always focused on hardware production. Software is not Nokia's specialty. But now, Nokia's short board lies in the software, how to make up for it?

"President Kang Peikai, what should we do now?" Nokia board of directors held an emergency meeting to discuss.

Kang Peikai bowed his head and did not dare to respond. He didn't know what to do at the moment. He was completely lost, and now he had no confidence at all. Originally, he really had confidence in N97, but in the end, he was completely lost.

The loss of Compaq also represents the attitude of Nokia's board of directors. They were all confused. They don't know what to do about Nokia's future.

"Here's the chance!" Bill Gates said in the distant United States.

Ballmer nodded and flew to Finland himself.

Ballmer asked to see you? Kang Peikai looked shocked. What's Microsoft president Ballmer doing here? Is Microsoft related to itself? This is incredible. But even though Microsoft couldn't figure out what to do with them, Kang Peikai warmly received Ballmer.

"President Kang Peikai, your company is in a very difficult situation now!" "The problem with your company is that it doesn't have an intelligent system of its own," Ballmer sighed. Have you thought about how to solve it? "

Although Kang Peikai had been confused for a time before, the arrival of Ballmer at the moment gave him a sudden insight.

"President Ballmer, our biggest weakness is that we don't have our own intelligent system, which can't continue to defend our king status in the era of smart phones. The hardware performance of Lin Feng's "Fuxi" and "Apple's" iPhone "is not much better than ours, but with the advantage of software system, we are far behind. President Ballmer, maybe you can give me the answer! " Kang Peikai looked at Ballmer expectantly.

Ballmer smiles.

"President Kang Peikai, since you are a smart man, I won't talk much nonsense. Now Nokia's situation is extremely bad, the stock price after the previous rise, suffered a setback. At present, if your company can't come up with a revitalization plan, I'm afraid that Nokia's decades old brand will decline. " Ballmer said lightly, "but now, I think Microsoft can give you such an opportunity."

Kang Peikai breathed in his heart. Sure enough, Microsoft's goal is the operating system. I just don't know what Microsoft's terms are.

"Mr. Ballmer, the price?" Asked Kang Peikai.

"We jointly launched a brand new mobile phone, with 50% of the shares held by both parties. We provide mobile phone operating system, while your company provides hardware and capital. Half of the profit is made!" Ballmer said with a smile.

Microsoft provides a new operating system to help Nokia regain control of the mobile phone market. And Nokia provides all the hardware facilities, which is the most reasonable cooperation mode that Ballmer thought. But will Nokia agree?

Microsoft provides software, Nokia provides hardware, half profit—— Kang Peikai frowned. Microsoft has the advantage in this profit distribution plan. You know, Microsoft provides software for nothing, while Nokia provides hardware. If hardware is involved, there will be production costs. However, Microsoft only provides software, which does not involve hardware. The final cost of hardware is provided by Nokia. In case of loss, what about Nokia? Of course, Nokia is not unable to provide hardware, but the profit share can not be divided in half.

"President Ballmer, all the losses are borne by Nokia. Don't you think it's a little unfair?" Kang Peikai said coldly, "you know, even without Microsoft, Nokia can develop enough excellent operating system. In that case, the profits are ours. It's too much for you to ask! "

Ballmer chuckled.

"President Kang Peikai, your company specializes in hardware, while Microsoft specializes in software. It's a completely different field to do hardware and software. In the field of hardware, your company is absolutely in the leading position, but in terms of software, your company is inferior to us by more than one level. At present, your company's N95 and N97 have proved one thing, that is, no matter how strong the hardware performance is, if there is no software to support it, the performance of the hardware is only cumbersome. But our company is able to provide the best software, comparable to the operating systems of Merrill Lynch's Pangu and Apple's IOS. As long as you have the right operating system, I think N97 can definitely be reborn, and even N95 can be reborn. We are very sincere in sharing our profits in half. If your company is not satisfied, then we have no choice. At the end of the day, you have to do your own research and development. " Balmer shrugged, "I'm here not because we need to cooperate with your company, but because we all have a common enemy - Lin Feng. If it wasn't for Lin Feng, I would never have come here. "

Kang Peikai thought about it and nodded slowly. Indeed, Microsoft is so powerful that there is no need to cooperate with Nokia. On the contrary, there is one thing in common between the two sides, that is, the competitor is Lin Feng. A very headache, very unpleasant Lin Feng.

"President Ballmer, maybe we can have a good talk." Kang Peikai said.

After a long talk, Nokia and Microsoft reached an agreement. Then a press conference was held to announce that Nokia will cooperate with Microsoft to develop a new smart phone. Microsoft will launch "Windows Phone" system for Nokia, which is a mobile phone operating system based on Windows kernel. It will be the best mobile operating system in the world. And next year, the first mobile phone based on Windows Phone will be officially launched. At that time, it will be able to share files with the desktop system.

Nokia Microsoft alliance is born!
