Chapter 591: Apple's Hindsight
Freedom City APP app store, since the love crazy mobile phone began to go on sale, the three games were pushed to the hands of the fruit fans with the help of this shareholder wind, this new company that has been eating money, has exploded development, clicks, views, downloads are growing at an alarming rate.
The surge in downloads has made the app store completely start the daily process of brushing money, and Andy has been making the simple and clear payment procedures built by the company before, so that every download user feels very convenient, and some directly download all the APP applications that support the IOS system.
Of course, the change of the era of smart phones still needs time, after more than a month of sales, the lack of APP application software, but also let the global program apes see business opportunities, at this time, the free city app store is embedded with the crazy mobile phone, concise interface, fair data-based rankings, detailed software classification list, detailed sharing ratio, January 1 settlement, support for all payment methods, have become the first choice for these program apes willing to cooperate.
"The significance of the Free City APP app store is to provide a convenient and efficient software sales platform for third-party software providers, and the enthusiasm to participate in it as a third-party software provider is unprecedentedly high, adapting to the needs of mobile phone users for personalized software, so that the mobile phone software industry has begun to enter a high-speed and benign development track. ”
With a bright smile on his face, Andy once again reaffirmed the company's business philosophy, seeing that the huge conference room was already crowded with 6,70 people, and now the company is no longer in the early stages of the previous two or three kittens. Even now, not all the people in the conference room are employees of the company, and some people are outside to maintain the daily operation of the website.
"The App Store's industrial chain is simple and clear, involving three entities, namely Liberty City Company, developers, users, and third-party payment companies, but it is only used as a charging channel and is not a major participant in the industry chain.
The App Store has established a win-win business model for users, developers, and Liberty City Inc., and their respective roles and responsibilities in the industry chain are as follows: Liberty City Inc. controls the development and management of the App Store, and is the main controller of the platform... ”
As the big boss, Andy explained in detail the value and focus of the operation of the Free City APP Mall to all employees, whether new employees or old employees.
This is also a memorable plenary meeting. The meeting ended with warm applause, and only a few executives of the company were left in the conference room, led by CEO Michael Wright, to report to Andy.
"So, Apple has also put the developed APP in our store?" Andy frowned slightly, he knew that the emergence of this situation seems to be a good thing, but once Apple knows the huge commercial value, then after all, the two companies will have a dirty relationship, Android will not come out, who will compete with the IOS monopoly period, this is undoubtedly Andy's biggest headache.
"Yes, since Apple accepted our suggestion, a week after the launch of the crazy mobile phone, the application development kit (SDK) for the crazy mobile phone was released for free download, so that third-party application developers can develop application software for the crazy mobile phone and Touch, the number of downloads in our mall has reached 100,000 times in less than a week, and more than 400 APP software applications have been uploaded to our mall for Aicrazy mobile phone users to download. ”
Andy heard Michael's report and said with some surprise: "Is it already so much?"
"Yes, but we chose the recommendation plan based on the JING you mentioned before, boss, and at present, HATSAPP and the three games are at the top of the download list, each of which has exceeded 500,000 downloads. ”
Andy shook his head and smiled, the number of downloads of 500,000 doesn't seem to be a lot, but you must know that the short-lived love crazy 1 has sold only 6.1 million units worldwide in less than a year, and the love crazy 1 will also carry out a big price dive in the later stage, so although love crazy 1 is called God's mobile phone by fruit fans, but for various reasons, it doesn't sell very well, and the biggest reason is that there are too few APP applications, but now because of Andy's appearance, APP software applications can temporarily meet the value of love crazy mobile phones.
However, this made Andy worry again that the greedy Apple company would sooner or later target the fat of the APP mall, to be honest, there is really no competitiveness with this kind of Apple company that controls the terminal to grab the market, fortunately, he dug a hole early, so that even if Apple opens its own mall, it can't delete the embedding of Free City.
Then another problem comes again, at present, it is the only APP application store on the crazy mobile phone, and fruit fans generally believe that it is Apple's mall, but if Apple gets one by itself, the official trust advantage will be completely lost, and Apple will definitely grab food from the whole moth, this kind of situation is difficult to break.
Andy squinted his eyes slightly, touched his chin back and forth, his brain was running rapidly, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he said to Michael: "You go and talk to Apple, spend some money to get Apple's official license, I believe they now know our value very well, how much to promote the sales of their mobile phones, don't care about the only xing, but if you can get better." ”
Michael Cright is also a smart person, frowned and thought about the boss's words, and suddenly his pupils shrank, "Boss, are you saying that Apple will set up its own official APP store?"
"That's right, that's what I thought of when I founded Liberty City, and I know very well the design concept of Jobs, the value of the crazy phone is not only the epoch-making of various mobile phone hardware, but the most important thing is that the more apps you download, the more you can feel the infinite power of the crazy phone, which is completely beyond your imagination. That's why I seem stupid to sign a cooperation contract with Apple for sky-high liquidated damages, just to prevent them from being able to suppress us if they set up an app store by themselves. ”
"Shhhh
All the executives looked at themselves dumbfounded, the young big boss, Nima, it's really a demon, at that time I began to calculate, you must know that no one knew whether the crazy mobile phone could succeed at that time, just for the possibility of the future, I arranged all kinds of ropes around people's necks early, Nima, this is too dark.
"I know, boss, I'll go and talk to Apple as soon as possible to get their official authorization, it shouldn't be difficult now. "Michael Wright is a little anxious to be honest, Nima, it was finally acquired from the street, and then the magic grew and developed, in the past, it was just a pit of money, and it was adjacent to the mocking bird game company that made money every day, well, the office space used is a game company, sometimes it is really inferior, and now it is hard to make money, I didn't think about it, and then there will be a big monster to grab food, he is not in a hurry.
"In this way, I injected five million into the company, three million for advertising, to seize the position in the hearts of users, and the remaining two million for the acquisition of some small and practical APP software, for users to download for free, the mall should also promote the easy-to-use free APP, at present, do not recruit advertising space, keep the mall page concise and clear, so as not to cause disgust among users. We must not owe developers profits, we must seize the time, and use a year to establish the preferred position of our APP store in the hearts of users and developers, even if Apple wants to get rid of us and play by itself, it will not be robbed of the market. ”
Andy knows that he can't be self-sufficient in terms of the current profit of the Freedom City app mall, so he can only inject money and burn money again with a wave of his hand, and if he can't resist Apple's sneaky suppression in a year ahead, then Andy has nothing to say.
At the same time, in Apple's CEO's office, Jobs leaned back in the boss's chair a little tiredly, wiping his eyes with a piece of velvet, frowning, thinking about something.
"The legal department has studied all the contracts, and we can't terminate the performance of the contract without paying a heavy price, which means that in the next 10 years, no matter how many new mobile phones we produce, we have to embed these four APP applications, and they must be phone, email, text message, camera, and set a prominent position after setting a few mandatory icons, even if we adjust the position, it will touch the protection clause he set at that time, Steve, we were calculated by him. ”
Cook said to Steve Jobs with a gloomy face, an angry but very helpless look of grievance, and a little annoyed.
