Chapter 292: Retreat as advance

Nokia's vice president is an expert in the smartphone industry. As Apple's main competitor, if you don't know the R&D goals of Apple's sixth-generation phones at all, it is his dereliction of duty. But the problem is that Nokia had no idea about the new features of the sixth-generation phones that Qiao Bushi just demonstrated, which surprised the vice president.

In addition to his surprise, he looked at Hu Yifei meaningfully. As far as he knew, in addition to the cooperation on app standards, there was also a secret cooperation agreement between Figo Security and Apple. However, no one knew very well about the specific content of this secret agreement. However, based on what happened at the press conference, the vice president probably guessed that the sudden improvement of Apple's sixth-generation machine performance and the new features that emerged out of thin air should be related to Figo Security.

"If this is the case, then Figo Security's technical strength will be far underestimated!" The vice president withdrew his gaze, his expression on his face was a little complicated, and he sat there silently thinking that his visit to Dongyang this time was definitely not as simple as being a witness to his competitors. He also wanted to seek cooperation with Figo Security.

These unexpected new features on Apple's sixth-generation aircraft forced the vice president to reconsider its cooperation plan with Figo Security. He felt that he could cooperate with Figo Security at a deeper level.

"If these independent desktops are regarded as different boxes, then this private desktop is a locked box, which is indestructible. Even with the powerful computing power of personal PCs, it will take a full 100-year calculation for breaking this box!" Qiao Budhi continued to make a fool of himself, "In the operating system of the sixth generation machine, we have also enhanced commercial modules and set up a more convenient VPN deployment solution, which can help enterprise users quickly build exclusive mobile office networks. From information communication to data storage, all of them are the most secure and reliable solutions in the industry."

Qiao Bushi almost announced that Apple's smartphones would enter the enterprise user market in full swing. Although there were a large number of office software on Apple's online application store before, because the Apple system itself was not supported enough, the enterprise user market was firmly grasped by several other smartphone manufacturers, especially BlackBerry.

Now, Apple has used its unique multi-desktop operation mode to perfectly integrate the needs of individual users and corporate users, officially sounding the clarion call to attack the corporate market. This is not good news for other smartphone manufacturers.

"When the sixth-generation machine is officially launched, there will be two modes!" Qiao Budhi put down his phone and stood there to introduce it. "One is an inherent mode. Like the previous five generations, when the phone is in the hands of the user, the basic software and services on it are fixed, and the user has no right to choose and change it. Apple is responsible for the software and services in the first desktop, and then the software and services in the second and third desktops require users to purchase it through the online application store. The second mode, we call it the custom mode, where users can customize the software and services on the mobile phone they purchased, and users can choose their favorite browser, search engine, photo management program, media player, and even electronic maps, office software, and can distribute these software to three desktops."

The press conference venue suddenly became a little turbulent. This second mode sounds very attractive, and it can be said to be a pioneering move.

In the past, Microsoft and Apple promoted standard services. They did not accept any form of customization and did not allow mobile phone manufacturers to make any modifications to their systems. Therefore, all smartphones with Microsoft and Apple systems sold around the world have the same desktop, browser, search engine, and even the fonts are the same. Microsoft and Apple bundled all the software and services they produced. The situation of the other companies is similar, whether it is Google's mobile operating system, BlackBerry, or Nokia, everything on it has basically been fixed from the moment it leaves the factory.

Users have no choice about this. While buying a mobile phone, they passively accept everything imposed on them.

So Qiao Bushi's move was beyond everyone's expectations, because Qiao Bushi himself was a domineering dictator and had been committed to establishing his own closed and authoritarian Apple Kingdom. He was more stubborn and determined than anyone else. Now he was the first to break this autocracy. His chin suddenly fell all over the floor. Everyone even suspected that the person standing on the stage was not Qiao Bushi himself.

Apple does not force its browser and application software to bundle its own browser and application software, which means that there will be more software vendors and content service providers, and they can get fair competition opportunities on the Apple mobile platform. This is definitely a great thing for them, and for Apple itself, it can also win the support and support of more software vendors and content service providers.

What everyone is curious about now is that they don’t know what form Apple will sell this model.

Qiao Buddy waited for the venue to be quiet and said, "Mobile phone buyers can customize the software and services on their phones in Apple's store. We provide 13 major categories and 42 subcategories for users to choose from. Under each category, there will be 2 to 5 candidate software. When purchasing a mobile phone, each user can customize up to 100 software. At the same time, users have to pay a service fee of US$10 for their customization business."

On Figo Security, Nokia's vice president is no longer able to sit still. Qiao Budhi's move is really too ruthless, even more ruthless than the previous standard service. It is said that users can customize it freely, but another shortlist has been created. In each software category, except for the software produced by Apple itself, there are not many places left for other software vendors. At that time, everyone will definitely break their heads in order to squeeze into this list.

The only thing that benefits in the end is Apple. If you want to be on the list, you must get Apple's approval, so you will naturally benefit from it. Of course, there is another beneficiary group, that is, Apple mobile phone users can buy 100 software for $10, which is extremely cheap and can also be picked and selected.

Apple does this completely to use the interests of others to please its own users, but it is undeniable that this customized service is really tempting for users, and no software provider or content service provider will give up this opportunity. Although it will cost some money, it is a big step forward compared to the previous lack of opportunities.

It is almost foreseeable that Apple's sixth-generation phone sales have become a foregone conclusion.

The more the vice president thought about it, the more he felt that Qiao Budhi's move was extremely vicious, which was a killer kill. Apple only took one step back, but gained the favor of users. At the same time, it trapped software vendors and content service providers. In addition, Apple's absolute control in the manufacturing and sales of mobile phones, thus making the entire Apple system stronger. It is impossible to insert needles and water penetrate. No one can shake Apple's high status in the future. To put it bluntly, everyone has become a worker for Apple, whether you are a hardware or a software player.

Compared with the lively scene at the Apple press conference, the atmosphere in the Figo safety conference room was a bit strange at this time. The magical boy was frustrated and was silent from beginning to end. The vice president's face was unstable, probably thinking about what measures Nokia would take to counter Apple; and that loyal fan, because he had obtained the latest sixth-generation machine, was still the first user in the world to use Apple's new products, was naturally satisfied. From time to time, he moved the box in front so that all those who watched the video could notice this.

The only person who was interested in watching Qiao Buddy was Hu Yifei. He felt very happy at this moment. All the features that Qiao Buddy had demonstrated before were based on Figo's security virtual technology. Even if it was customized services, Hu Yifei deliberately inspired Taylor and finally decided to take shape.

After Qiao Budhi finished talking about the custom mode, he went directly to the safety testing stage. This time he did not use the sixth-generation machine, but took out a fifth-generation machine and notified Figo to start the test.

Originally, he agreed to let the witnesses take action, but the two experts were not interested at this time. The fan did not dare to show off his ugly head, so Hu Yifei had to do it himself. He sent an email and once again hacked Qiao Buhe's phone, causing another commotion in the venue. However, Qiao Buhe then installed the app security firmware on the fifth-generation machine on the spot. Hu Yifei used the same trick again and did not succeed again.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the Magic Boy and Nokia people did not jump out to question, Qiao Budhi was very satisfied with the results of the demonstration and announced on the spot that "all sixth-generation machines will be loaded with app security firmware when they leave the factory. For the previous fifth-generation products, Apple will also arrange for users to update and load the app firmware for free."

After announcing this, Qiao Bushi flashed into the backstage and handed it to the host on site to demonstrate other new features of the sixth-generation machine.

Nokia's vice president finally understood that Apple's implementation of app standards is not entirely intended to make profits from standards. This is also a major measure for Apple to fully enter the enterprise user market, because information security is the first requirement of the enterprise market.

As soon as the press conference ended, the vice president couldn't wait to grab Hu Yifei and said, "Mr. Hu, are you free tomorrow? I have some ideas about cooperation between us, and I wonder if you are interested in listening?"

"As long as I can make money, I'm interested!" Hu Yifei smiled and winked at the negotiation master.

The guy was really clever and immediately stepped forward and said in a professional tone: "Mr. Hu, you will attend a very important meeting tomorrow afternoon, and there is no arrangement between 10:00 and 11:00 in the morning!"
Chapter completed!
