Chapter 946: The Reason for the Charge
Regarding the amount of equipment activation of the "Zhen" system, Su Rui was also very surprised.
In fact, if he hadn't been paying attention to the data of the Zhen system, he might have suspected that it was data fraud, mainly because he thought that the data was too exaggerated.
After all, without any official publicity, the number of device activations of the "Zhen" system has increased to 14.8 million units in a month, which is so exaggerated that Su Rui is a little unbelievable, even if he is very confident in the "Zhen" system, but it is also unexpected.
It's just that the authority of the "Zhen" supercomputer is in Su Rui's hands, and with the supervision of the "Zhen" supercomputer, it is impossible for data fraud to occur.
Therefore, the number of device activations of the "Zhen" system is indeed 14.8 million units, and there is no false result, which is completely true.
Although Su Rui felt unbelievable, he would not disbelieve it, which only showed that the "Zhen" system was indeed very good, and he could make this kind of achievement in such a short period of time, which made him believe even more that the "Zhen" system could become one of the mainstream systems.
If the Zhen system continues to develop like this, he believes that within a year, it is indeed possible to exceed 100 million device activations, and the number of active users will reach 100 million, which should not be a big problem.
Of course, the premise is to continue to be free, so that it can continue to grow, and it is not a big problem to exceed 100 million active users a year.
However, if the "Zhen" system is charged and no longer provides free use, then the situation is very difficult to say, whether the number of active users can increase to 100 million in a year, that is, maybe, the possibility is not so great, and it is not so certain.
After all, in the current mobile phone system market, as the two giants of Android and iOS, are free to use, users do not need to spend money to use the mobile phone system, not only the market of Zhenjie, but also the other five worlds, the mobile phone system is free of charge, different from the operating system of the computer, the mobile phone system has always been free as the mainstream, at least on the surface does not charge money, from other aspects to make money, that is another matter.
It can be said that consumers have long been ingrained in the fact that the mobile phone system is free, which is the mainstream idea, and everyone thinks so.
In such a market environment, if the mobile phone system suddenly announced the charge, it will definitely make consumers very unaccustomed, if all the mobile phone systems are charged together, then it is better, consumers will slowly get used to and accept, there is nothing, but if it is a single mobile phone system charge, it is easy to cause consumer disgust, so as to begin to resist this mobile phone system, when there is a choice, will not use this mobile phone system, this is very likely to happen.
And if the Zhen system announces a fee, then it is very likely that this will happen.
After all, Android and iOS will not be charged, at least before the success of the "Zhen" system will not be charged to users, even in the case of free, Android and iOS with a huge user group, both have a lot of profits, then there is no incentive to charge, especially in the case of competition, it will not take the initiative to charge, unless it is the opponent charging and success, it is possible to consider whether to charge together.
Because of this, if the Zhen system is announced to be charged now, it is indeed likely to cause consumer resistance, some users will not use the Zhen system, and some users who are not Zhen system will be more likely not to consider using the Zhen system.
Therefore, it is certain that after the announcement of the charging of the "Zhen" system, some active users will be lost, and it is difficult to say whether the increased users can offset the lost users.
Now it depends on the "Zhen" system, whether it is really good enough for users to put it down, if it is done to this extent, users can be separated from the "Zhen" system, then even if it is charged, the loss of users will not be too serious, and it will continue to add new users, it depends on whether the "Zhen" system has really achieved this level.
However, Su Rui was confident in the "Zhen" system, so he decided to let the "Zhen" system charge, and it has not changed now.
Now that the active users of the "Zhen" system have already exceeded 10 million, he believes that the charging plan of the "Zhen" system can also start to be ready to be launched now, and when you are ready, you can start announcing the news, and then you can start charging.
The reason why Su Rui insisted on charging the "Zhen" system, rather than giving users free access like Android and iOS, is because his original intention was to make the "Zhen" system profitable and create profits, and then let Lightyear Technology Company obtain R&D funds, continue to develop chip projects, and accelerate this progress, which is the main meaning of the birth of the "Zhen" system.
No matter what goals the "Zhen" system has after it is launched, its initial goal is to make a profit and provide funds for chip projects, which is also the most important significance of the "Zhen" system.
Regarding this, Su Rui has never changed, and has always been ready to do so, but the time is not yet ripe before.
Of course, he also knows that sometimes free is the most powerful charge, and it is possible to create higher profits, such as Android, which seems to be free, but since it was launched, it has created huge profits for Google, which is undeniable, and this is why Google has not considered charging.
It can be said that as long as you occupy the market and have a certain user group, you don't have to worry about being unprofitable, even if it is free, the profit is indispensable.
Su Rui is naturally very aware of this, and it is impossible for him not to know this.
However, he also knows that it is not impossible for the Zhen system to do this, but it will definitely take a long time to achieve, and it may take several years before it can start to achieve profitability.
For Su Rui, this time is too long, he doesn't have so much time for the "Zhen" system to slowly achieve profitability, he must directly create profits in the near future, which is what he wants, which is also the reason why the "Zhen" system needs to charge, only by charging now, can he directly create profits in the near future, without waiting for so long.
As for whether the profit of the charge is large or the profit of the latter is large, it is difficult to say, but under normal circumstances, it should be that the profit created by the latter will be greater.
However, considering the situation of Lightyear Technology, Su Rui still prefers to charge.
Because of this, after the users of the "Zhen" system exceeded 10 million, he was ready to start charging, and he will announce the news in the near future.
