Chapter 194

(if you haven't corrected your spelling, wait 15 minutes.)

On the surface, Warwick and Google reconciled to make mate40 equipped with Xiaoyuan voice assistant sell smoothly in Europe, which itself is no problem, because this reconciliation is a win-win situation.

Warwick makes money, source code companies make money, and major app applications in the United States make money, but Google doesn't make money.

Google may have some agreements with major apps, which can obtain part of the profits from advertising profits and payment services, but this profit is almost negligible compared with the share of origin code company.

Is Google a good man? Looking at you, Warwick is pathetic, so let Warwick go?

The world of science and technology and capital is very cruel, a life and death struggle.

In this market, only the boss survives, and there is no position for the second and third.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to count on Google's kindness.

If Warwick honestly sells mobile phones, it and Google will be safe and make their own money.

But when Warwick gets involved in the system and ecosystem, Google will not be so kind.

Now Xiaoyuan's voice assistant has a bigger and bigger market in Europe and more and more profits. Zhou Xiao always has a feeling that the American technology oligarchs represented by Google are raising pigs, fattening them up and killing them.

With this idea, Zhou Xiao took the initiative to call Yu Jiangdong, senior vice president and CEO of consumer business of Warwick.

This time, Zhou Xiao called with his private cell phone.

Yu Jiangdong was very happy when he received a call from Zhou Xiao.

Warwick's mate40 still achieved good results in the case of insufficient chip production and can only use AB model (mixed combination of liankefa and Kirin), and the source code company has made great contributions. Yu Jiangdong's first person to thank is Zhou Xiao.

"President Zhou! Hello, Hello! " Yu Jiangdong is having a meeting in the company now, but after receiving a call from Zhou Xiao, he immediately left the conference room to answer the phone outside.

Zhou Xiao said: "Mr. Yu, I want to know the contents of the negotiations between Warwick and Google in Europe. Although I shouldn't ask about the contents of your negotiations, I think it is related to the survival of source code companies overseas."

Yu Jiangdong said, "President Zhou, I will send the information to your company's mailbox. In addition, let my vice president He Bin come to Jiangcheng tomorrow to explain some things to you."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xiao felt it necessary to learn about the European market by herself.

"Kay, Kay!" Zhou Xiao shouted.

Seeing that no one answered, Ma Xin shouted, "fat Wang!"

Wang kaiduo just came from the office, "President Zhou, President Ma."

The company's efficiency is good, and Wang Kai has people under him. Wang Kai doesn't have to do a lot of logistics services himself.

Well, the income is higher, things are less, and Wang pangzi is getting fatter and fatter. He has become a greasy middle-aged man.

"Do you want to lose weight?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"Does the company still have this benefit?" Wang Kaile.

"Well, ten day tour in Europe, lose weight while traveling." Zhou Xiao arranged a task for Wang Kai and said, "find some brothers and take Shen Dan to Europe to understand the actual market of Xiaoyuan's voice assistant. Although the source code company has tasks in Europe, we do not have the most direct understanding of the European market. I hope your research can provide some help for the company's decision-making. "

Wang Kai knew that this task was not trivial, and he was no longer joking, "I'll make a research plan right away."

The next day, he bin rushed to the source code company for an interview with Zhou Xiao.

Zhou Xiao learned all about the negotiations between Warwick and Google.

Warwick made a compromise on some patents and paid Google patent fees. Google made concessions on mate40 and Xiaoyuan voice assistant and let Europeans use Xiaoyuan voice assistant on Warwick.

In the short term, Google is making a lot of money.

Google and Warwick have been competing for the patent for several years. Now Warwick gives in and Google will get a lot of net money.

But in the long run, the sale of Huawei maet40 equipped with Xiaoyuan voice assistant in Europe will seriously harm Google's interests.

He Bin said: "we should not naively think that Google and those technology giants in the United States have such a good heart to allow Warwick to participate in their games."

He Bin looked at Zhou Xiao reluctantly and said, "President Zhou, the most fundamental reason why they let Xiaoyuan voice assistant enter the European market is that they have a crush on the potential of Xiaoyuan voice market. Xiaoyuan voice is irreplaceable, and Google and apple are eyeing it."

Zhou Xiao asked with a smile: "so, wait for Xiaoyuan voice assistant to blossom everywhere in Europe and have a huge user group, and wait for the source code company to be cut by the American technology company when it has huge profits in Europe?"

He Bin didn't expect Zhou Xiao to see the problem so thoroughly. "Warwick's reliance on Xiaoyuan's voice assistant to compete for the European market is actually a great failure! But there is no way. President Zhou is also aware of Warwick's current situation. We don't even know whether there will be a new mobile phone with better performance at this time next year. "

Of course, Zhou Xiao knows the situation of Warwick. When he designs a chip that compares prices, no one dares to take the order, and he has no ability to make his own. The company developed a more awesome mobile phone. As a result, GMS was banned by Google. It was not easy to rely on Xiaoyuan's voice assistant to win a battle in Europe and eat this meal.

According to the current trend, Warwick may really withdraw from the high-end market next year.

He Bin knows that Zhou Xiao is worried that Xiaoyuan's voice server is now in the hands of Europeans, and the voice assistant is running according to the security and privacy rules formulated by American technology company (Google).

Google Mingli opened Xiaoyuan voice assistant to enter the European market. In fact, it bound Xiaoyuan voice assistant step by step with European profits and its own specifications.

At an appropriate time, especially when most European consumers are using the plug-in free version of Xiaoyuan voice assistant, Google and other Western technology companies can tighten their ropes and ask Warwick and source code companies for exorbitant prices.

If the source code company has a profit of 500 million euros in Europe every year in the future, Google asks you for 100 million euros of protection fee, do you give it or not?

If you don't, Google once again banned the application of Xiaoyuan voice assistant on Android in the name of privacy. At that time, European consumers were used to using Xiaoyuan voice assistant without plug-in version, so it was difficult to go back to the era of climbing over the wall and downloading plug-ins. If you don't give it, you will lose 400 million euros of profits in Europe.

If the profit of source code in Europe reaches more than 1 billion euros in the future, Google hopes you can only protect a small part of your shares and sell Xiaoyuan voice assistant in Europe and even overseas to Google at a considerable price. Do you want to sell it or not?

Of course, you can not sell, but you will completely lose the European market and a lot of wealth you have already got.

According to western logic, the most painful thing for a new company is not to lose it, but to get it and lose it.
