For the dilemma of double competition to face next, Andy has been mentally prepared, this kind of thing is also a matter of no choice, it is going to rain, he can only take one step ahead of the umbrella to avoid getting wet.

For Apple's hegemony, Andy already has a plan to contain it, because the cost of implementing this plan is too high and it requires a large amount of money, so he needs to buy a bank of his own as a capital pool, even with Yingtai Bank, then he needs to drag a large bank to back him.

On the contrary, it has always wanted a piece of the pie of Google, a little troublesome, which is the same greedy company, all high-tech industries, want to get involved, but its advantages are indeed too obvious, if you want to prevent it from taking the Free City APP Mall as a competitor, maybe Andy can only absorb Google as a shareholder, completely cut off the idea of Google's development of APP sales platform.

Of course, this requires Andy to share a part of the interests, and the key question is whether this is attractive enough for Google, otherwise, even if Andy wants to cooperate with others, they may not be willing.

No way, it seems that it's time to throw out the fat of the Free City APP company, time is tight, the opportunity is rare, and the pace of expansion of this IT company must be accelerated, to put it bluntly, it is necessary to burn money to seize the market.

Burn money!

Andy naturally doesn't want to choose to burn the money himself, isn't there a lot of people out there who want to meddle in his assets?

Well, this time Andy gave these people a chance, and he decided to release the news at the banquet after Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference that the Free City APP sales platform will conduct its first financing!

Well, it's really a bit of a slap in the face of Apple's meaning, and releasing this kind of news at people's new product launch and highlighting the lineup of Apple developers is undoubtedly tantamount to a public call.

But who cares!

Since you can't compete with Apple alone, then pull the alliance, the IT industry belongs to the kind of, the first in the industry to occupy an absolute advantage, one step ahead of the step by step, it is very important to burn money, suppress latecomers, squeeze competitor space, until the elimination of annexation, to be a monopoly is the most successful competition in the cruel industry.

It perfectly illustrates the concept of what time equals money.

This is also a way to do no way, Apple has an ISO system, Google has an Android system, and Andy is just a service provider in doing it, it belongs to the sky without a foundation, and the only way now is to desperately cover it, the higher the cover, the better.

The most ideal thing is to be able to pull Google in, so that Andy has no worries, otherwise he can only squeeze the value of the Free City APP Mall to death, and then circle the money in one stop, and carry out the golden cicada shelling, after all, the virtual economy, there is no core technology, it is just fat, and the fat is not really fat!

Now that he understands this truth, Andy naturally will not sit back and wait for his advantages to slowly disappear before making a death struggle.

The successful experience since the crossing, through successful acquisitions again and again, in addition to cultivating his own decisiveness and ruthlessness, the huge wealth has also given him a lot of confidence, the confidence to go down and fight with the opponent, and the confidence to lose money!

"Hehe, I just don't know if you can afford to lose!" Andy, sitting in the car, leaving Manhattan JFK Airport and heading straight for Gaia on Wall Street, muttered in a low voice with a sneer.

Alvittlie, who had already received the call, had already gathered the members of the think tank in the conference room to discuss and brainstorm on the many issues facing the Liberty City app mall.

When Andy appeared in the conference room, Michael Wright, CEO of the Liberty City APP Mall, was also online, discussing with the people in the think tank for more than half an hour through video.

During the discussion, Michael Wright expressed a different view on the plan to raise funds for the company now, and in his opinion, the company is only in the early stages of development, and there is sufficient capital, and there is no need to raise capital now.

"Boss,At present, Apple's crazy software ecology is based on eb 2.0 + AJAX development platform to build,In fact, program developers don't buy it,The App Store is currently only less than 1000 applications,Although the crazy mobile phone is a cross-era product,But at present, it still has a lot of shortcomings,Market。。。 ”

Hearing Michael Wright's words of contempt for Apple's AppStore, Andy couldn't help frowning slightly, it seems that the temporary dominance of the market and huge profits made Michael a little fluttery.

"How much has the Liberty City app store paid developers so far?"

"$800 million ... With total sales of $1.2 billion, our earnings are around $400 million. ”

The members of the think tank present couldn't help but stare slightly, it was the first time they learned that the ability of the Liberty City APP Mall to attract money is so powerful, which is almost comparable to the earning power of Mockingjay Games.

Andy looked at Al, who nodded slightly, and then heard Michael Wright say, "Boss, I know what you're worried about, maybe Apple's future will be strong, but at least it needs to look at our faces for now."

Boss, I have found all the top 10 DU developers based on IOS system application software and games, signed a long-term cooperation agreement with them, and increased their share ratio.

Although Apple has turned off our in-app purchases, we have completely eliminated the need for app developers to worry about price pressure, and for users, we have also implemented a "try before you buy" approach, allowing users to get the features they need more accurately and freely.

Boss, I can guarantee that in the next two years, Apple's AppStore store will not pose a threat to our store, unless Apple's crazy mobile phone machine performance explodes again, allowing Apple mobile phones to seize all markets, but, I think, which major mobile phone manufacturers in the world will not let it do so. ”

Hearing such confident words from his subordinates, the corners of Andy's mouth twitched, and he didn't show any superfluous expression on his face, still keeping a light smile, but he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, Nima, Apple really made what you said impossible possible.

Punch Nokia, step on Motorola, kill BlackBerry for a thousand years...

However, confidence is a good thing, he will not be the boss of the boss to discourage the enthusiasm of his subordinates, the future is unknown, he can let his subordinates treat him as a person to worry about the sky or take precautions, but it is impossible to stand up and pretend to be a god GUN with his subordinates, saying what the future holds, Nima, even now Apple itself has no ambition to subvert the monopoly of the mobile phone market, only hopes to be able to cut a small territory in the middle of a group of giant mobile phone manufacturers.

"What about Google's Android, what do you think?" asked Andy, looking at Michael Wright on his computer monitor.

"For Google, it won't be going to touch this cheese in the next two or three years, when they approached us and 83 other hardware manufacturers, software developers and telecom operators to form an Open Handset Alliance to jointly develop and improve the Android system to counter Apple's iOS system.

Now the reason why Google chooses the strategy of openness and free, is to let the Android camp expand rapidly, it is still in the planting period, they will not be harvested now... ”

"Have you ever thought about what if Apple shut down the API excuse?" asked Andy, looking at Michael Wright with a frown.

"Unless Apple wants to get into a lawsuit, Apple will never use this lose-lose method to ban us, because in-app purchases have given them a big advantage, and Apple's board members will never let Jobs come to us. ”

This time it was Alvitatre who spoke, and it seems that he also agrees with Michael Wright's point of view, and does not think that now is the best time to throw out the Free City APP Mall for financing, but is a bit too hasty.

The expression on Andy's face froze slightly, and then fell into deep thought, maybe he was really a little worried, and smiled bitterly in his heart, to put it bluntly, it was because he knew how powerful Apple would be in the future, and the pressure on him was too great.

However, he still has the confidence to touch Apple, so let's prepare with both hands! Thinking of this, Andy also made a decision.

"Then put the financing on hold for the time being, Michael, and then continue to increase the publicity efforts, such as discounts, limited-time free, consumer lottery, developer contests and other activities will be held uninterruptedly, and I will put five percent of the original shares into the equity incentive pool。。。。。。 ”
