Chapter 631: Youxin and Android (1st Update)

Sergei Brin smiled, took the initiative to stretch out his right hand to Zhang Xiaolong, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Zhang. ”

He knew that Liu Yun would never bring a meaningless person here.

The Zhang Xiaolong in front of him was by no means an ordinary high-level executive.

This is an extremely shrewd businessman who rarely loses.

Zhang Xiaolong smiled confidently and said, "Mr. Carlin, allow me some time to introduce this APP software called Youxin." ”

Carlin nodded in a friendly voice, while Liu Yun sat quietly.

"It's based on a smartphone, a communication tool between friends and work partners.

Of course, it's not just for instant messaging. I want to build a closed social circle around it. ”

Sergei Brin showed a hint of doubt, a little puzzled, does this matter have anything to do with Google?

Seeing that the timing was right, Liu Yun said: "Mr. Brin, I hope that the Youyou project team and Google's technical staff can have more contact in the future. ”

As he spoke, he quietly glanced at Zhang Xiaolong beside him.

He also quickly understood what the boss meant, took out an English document and handed it to Sergei Brin, and said: "I'm going to add some functions in Youxin, such as voice, circle of friends, drifting bottles and other functions, and then there are some simple applets, but now the Android system needs to complete such configuration requirements, it seems to be a bit difficult, and it is easy to freeze imagination."

After a pause for a few seconds, Zhang Xiaolong continued: "I hope that Google can increase the technical support for the Android technical team, and then the technical staff of our two companies can meet more often, so that the compatibility between Youxin and the Android system can be increased." ”

Sergey Brin frowned and asked, "What does Mr. Zhang mean is that the technical teams of the two companies are cooperating, just for this APP software called Youxin?"

Zhang Xiaolong nodded, and Liu Yun also said in a timely manner: "Mr. Brin, I hope that in the future, the new version of the Android system can be better compatible with Youxin, and can be improved in a targeted manner, to be precise, Google needs to set up a special studio to study how to achieve a better and more perfect integration between the two." ”

Sergey Brin said with some surprise: "There are so many APP software in the Android application market, but I want to open the back door for this Youxin alone, Mr. Liu is asking me for privileges." ”

The tone of his voice was not vetoed, but he did not agree immediately.

"If Yoyo phones go up on sales, Google can also benefit from them. After all, Apple is our common adversary. ”

"But Youxin is just an APP software, can it affect the sales of smartphones?"

"Of course, if the number of registered users of U-Faith rises quickly, I can take the next step, such as adding the promotion channel of Yo-Yo Mall to this software, and even promoting Yo-Yo mobile phones on my own territory. ”

Sergei Brin thought for a while and then asked, "Mr. Liu, does this Youxin project have any intention of financing?"

Liu Yun's eyes moved slightly, and he said calmly: "It's just a studio now, not a company. If Google really wants to raise money, we can do it another way. ”

"For example?"

"In addition to Yoyo mobile phones, Times Jiangnan's financing targets can also give priority to your company. ”

Sergei Brin pondered for a while and said: "Mr. Liu, I have a hunch that if this product is successful, it may become the QQ of the mobile phone." ”

Liu Yun was slightly stunned, and said in a stunned tone: "Mr. Brin, I have never thought of it that way. My idea is to make U-Faith another form of text messaging, which can only be sent to and from friends, with a certain degree of privacy, and in a free form. I didn't think that far ahead, I just wanted it to be a bit louder on mobile. ”

Sergey Brin smiled and said, "I think the potential of Udsin is more than that, if you are lucky, it will create a unique social empire on mobile." ”

Liu Yun sat up straight, took a deep breath quietly, and said, "Mr. Brin, what is the future of Youxin, I don't dare to pack the ticket, but everything is man-made." Well, I'll give one more condition. Google Chrome's market share in China is not high, I agree that all models of Yoyo mobile phones, in the factory settings, will come with Google Chrome APP version.

I don't think the advantages that you get on PC will have much effect on mobile for any company that has a browser business. It's a whole new battlefield, and everyone is starting from scratch. It's also a huge opportunity for Google. ”

"Yoyo has a browser of his own, so it's a big loss for you. ”

"Fair competition, see which of us has the better browser, but in view of the fact that if the stability of the Android system is not high, it is easy to crash and freeze with too many APP software. I promise that in the next three years, our smartphones will only ship with your browser, and Yoyo browser needs to be downloaded by users.

We Chinese people have a saying that if you are reluctant, you can't catch a wolf. Of course, I have a premise, such as the privilege of Uxin APP, your company must solve the compatibility problem of the Android system, only for Uxin. If there are other instant messaging apps on the market, they will not enjoy the privileges of U-Trust. ”

Sergey Brin believes in the advent of the smartphone era, and he believes that mobile browsers will generate huge advertising costs just like desktops.

"I agree to this condition, and immediately let the company set up a special technical team to study how to increase the compatibility between Uxin and Android, and can properly clear the cache garbage independently. ”

"Thank you, Mr. President. ”

Liu Yun stood up and took the initiative to stretch out his hand.

The two companies quickly agreed on the details.

For example, the financing of Yoyo terminal equipment is about 8% equity of 100 million US dollars.

Times Jiangnan's financing reached a staggering $210 million, with Google receiving 15% of the equity, Yoyo 82%, and Baidu being diluted to 3%.

Liu Yun also signed a private agreement with Sergei Brin that if the number of valid registered users of Youxin exceeds 100 million by the end of next year, he is willing to bear all the expenses of this technical team, and there is also a bonus.

"Youxin must be very important to Youyou, and it is a big gamble for this President Liu. Sergei Brin thought silently in his heart, "But what does this have to do with me, anyway, there is no conflict between this software and Google's business in China." We do our best. ”

In order to show his sincerity, he quickly called Google's technical director and Andy Rubin, the founder of Android, and told them the general meaning.

This means that in the future, every new version of Uxin will first be shown to Google's technical team, so that the other party can personally test the compatibility and operation of this software in the Android system.

It's a one-of-a-kind VIP treatment.

As for whether the other party will move his mind to imitate a similar APP after seeing the Youxin fire in the future, Liu Yun is even less worried.

Google's business is slowly rolling out in China, and even if they imitate similar products, the first step is to seize the North American market.

The water from the two wells does not interfere with the river water.

Liu Yun vaguely remembers that this giant company has not been successful in the social business, and there have been many failed products, so he is not worried.

In the entire North American market, powerful APP social products abound, after all, there are strong people here, and Huaxia is their own territory, and they can't get involved.

So they are the best partner at the moment, and when the number of registered users of Uxin reaches 100 million, they have a firm foothold in this market, and then consider the browser matter.

Although the potential of mobile browsers is also huge, it is not like the desktop side, which is difficult to move without the browser.

On the mobile side, one app after another has largely replaced the role of the browser.

For example, on the PC side, you can visit Taobao, JD.com, web portals, videos, and community forums, generally through a browser, but on the mobile side, you can use the apps of these products to replace the browser.

And Liu Yun himself also felt that the browser on the mobile phone was very uncomfortable to use, the interface was small, and the typesetting was messy. If you want to watch videos and news, why not download a separate app.

It's not as irreplaceable as a browser on the PC side.

The so-called gains must be gains, and he can accept this.
