Chapter 827: Free and Charged

First, after the live broadcast ended, Su Rui finally had time to take a look at the activation of the "Zhen" system.

When he opened the background of the "Zhen" system, he saw that the number of activations was 10,285, and the number of users who are using it now is also 10,285.

This means that users who install and activate the Zhen system eventually choose to stay and continue to use the Zhen system, treating the Zhen system as the main system, rather than switching back to the original system, and this retention rate can be called 100%.

However, this is also very normal, after all, the Zhen system can be compatible with all applications, which is something that other systems can't do, which is an obvious advantage.

In addition, the Zhen system can also improve the performance of the mobile phone, making it smoother, and at the same time, it can also improve the battery life and make the mobile phone battery more durable, which is a very attractive advantage for users.

With so many advantages, these users who use the Zhen system naturally do not want to switch back to other systems.

For many users, when the mobile phone installs the "Zhen" system, they really feel that the mobile phone is a new one, even better than the next generation of mobile phones, and there are no defects, which makes them willing to change back to the original system.

It can be said that in the case of free, most people will choose to continue to use the "Zhen" system, rather than choosing other mobile phone systems, in the case of the same charge, the same will give priority to the "Zhen" system, as for the "Zhen" system charges, other mobile phone systems do not charge, what kind of choice will users make, it is difficult to say.

"I don't know if after the "Zhen" system is charged, how many percent of users will stay. Su Rui looked at this data and thought silently.

There is no way, in Zhenjie, and even in the six major worlds in the world, most of its mobile phone systems are free, especially the mainstream mobile phone systems, which are all free, and none of them are charged, such as Android and iOS, which occupy the largest market share of Zhenjie, are provided to users for free use.

For example, the Android operating system, which seems to be free for users to use, but in fact, it has created at least tens of billions of dollars in profits for Google.

In the impression of the user, the Android operating system is completely free to use, completely open source and free Android system, and has been changed beyond recognition by major mobile phone manufacturers, as if it is no longer the original system, and the sense of existence seems to be very low, but in fact, Android is a model of making a fortune with a muffled voice, and its profits are extremely high.

Free, often the highest, users don't seem to have to pay a penny when using the Android operating system, but in the process of using it, they have unconsciously created profits for Google.

One of the important reasons why the Android operating system can make tens of billions of dollars is that Google provides it with a mobile advertising circle, because the user base of the Android operating system is very large, it has also attracted a lot of advertisers, and the cost of advertising on the Android operating system is extremely high, which is also Google's main source of income, that is, the main reason why it can create tens of billions of dollars.

Moreover, for some large enterprises, some products are not necessarily directly profitable, and the same is true on the Internet.

The original intention of some software is not to make money, but also to avoid competitors monopolizing this field, to avoid being isolated from the Internet entrance in this field, and to prevent competitors from seizing the entrance through this software, which is the value of these software, in the beginning, profit is secondary.

And the same is true of the Android operating system, which is to avoid a certain company's operating system monopolizing the entrance to the mobile platform, rather than being launched to make money.

As long as the entrance to the Internet is not monopolized and is still open, there will still be a great opportunity for Google, as long as it can enter this field, there will be other ways to make money, and it does not necessarily require the Android operating system to directly create benefits.

For Google, the biggest significance of the birth of the Android operating system is that it did not let the ios operating system completely monopolize the mobile operating system of Zhenjie, and cannot completely monopolize the entrance of the mobile platform, so that Google can make a difference in this field, rather than being completely blocked by Apple, which is the greatest value of the Android operating system.

It can be said that as long as Android does not lose money, for Google, it is already profitable.

However, the Android operating system can still generate tens of billions of dollars in advertising revenue for Google, which is also an unexpected additional revenue generation.

As for the original design intention of ios, it is also about the same, it was originally designed specifically for the iPhone, and there is no need to charge users directly for system usage.

For Apple, the existence of iOS, can allow it to get multiple ways to make money, directly charging system usage fees, is the most stupid approach, but also the least profitable channel, if this way is adopted, the user base may shrink a lot, and the profit will be greatly reduced, it is impossible to do such a brilliant way.

As long as the iOS operating system has a stable user base, Apple doesn't have to worry about not making money at all.

Therefore, the ios operating system and the Android operating system are the same, which seems to be imitated, but in fact, it has created great profits for Apple and Google, but it is not directly expressed, but through indirect ways to obtain a lot of profits.

On top of that, the free Android operating system and iOS operating system have allowed both Apple and Google to have a large number of users, which has allowed them to make great achievements in other fields.

If it weren't free in the first place, Android and ios wouldn't have been very popular, and the user base might have been reduced by at least more than half, or even less than one-tenth of what it is now.

In the Internet era, traffic and users represent everything, and with users and traffic, you don't have to worry about not making money.

Therefore, free is a lot of software in the market, to attract users of the magic weapon, are to attract more users, and get more traffic, direct charges, but relatively rare, this is not only the operating system, other types of software is also the same, only some professional software will be charged.

Because of this, if a mobile phone operating system charges users, many users may choose to leave, which is also one of Su Rui's concerns.

That's right, because from the beginning, he didn't plan to make the "Zhen" system free, but was ready to make money by charging for it, and his positioning of the "Zhen" system was not like Android and iOS, but like Microsoft's operating system, he wanted to make money by charging.
