Chapter 179: Ecosystem
The moon is bright and clean, and the autumn insects are murmuring.
One tall and one short and two ugly people sit on the granite steps to drink, with the brightly lit mansion behind and the moonlit garden, lawn, court, swimming pool, tennis court in front...... Next to the two ugly men are beer cans scattered all over the ground.
They are all rich people, Ma Yun began to pay attention to his personal image, but his old friend's style did not change, so he had to sit on the ground. Fortunately, this is private territory, and no one has seen two super-rich people so ungraceful.
"Hell, are you super rich? Are you in the top 100 in the country?"
"Cut, as soon as Ali goes public, I will have a net worth of at least 10 billion, right? In eight years, without relying on the collusion of officials and businessmen, and the abduction and deception, I can earn tens of billions of family fortunes, and our old horse is also the number one person!"
Seeing his old friend so proud, Li Jiaming was deeply impressed, sitting next to a real billionaire and drinking, and still boasting that he was rich, how strong must his heart be? It can be seen that the strength of a person does not lie in his physique, status, and wealth, but in his heart.
"Hey, would you like to send you a few golden sentences?"
"Tell me about it".
"If you want it, if you don't want it, you can pull it down! Let me tell you, after you are really famous, you have to have your own unique personality, what good words can you come up with with your brain?"
This kid is a great talent, a talented man who can even write songs, Ma Yun hurriedly asked for advice, and Li Jiaming was also happy to return this guy's to him in the future.
'Today is cruel, tomorrow is even more cruel, the day after tomorrow is beautiful, but the vast majority of people die tomorrow night and do not see the day after tomorrow'
"Awesome!"
What's even more powerful, Li Jiaming sent him another sentence, 'The thing I regret the most is the establishment of Ali ......'
"A little hypocritical, huh?"
Li Jiaming couldn't help but laugh and mocked: "You know a fart! You dare to say that you don't miss the freedom when you eat roadside stalls?"
The laughter and scolding of the old friend made Ma Yun nod again and again, and those who listened to this may feel hypocritical, but he was deeply touched. No one wants to be in the spotlight all the time, and who wants to spend their days idle, and success means that freedom is no longer there.
"Jiaming, what you said said to my heart, my wife quit Ali, do you know why?"
"What's wrong?"
The two husbands and wives were too busy and neglected to discipline, and the children not only had bad grades but also showed signs of bad schooling, so they had to go back to be housewives to take care of the housework.
Li Jiaming nodded silently and handed over another can of Budweiser beer, he understood what his old friend wanted to say. It is impossible to talk about each other as much as they did eight years ago, but as a real friend of the end, there are still some things that will be reminded and reminded. For example, today he suddenly took out his mobile phone to make a call, and there are family problems that he talked about.
Seeing his old friend nodding silently, Ma Yun secretly sighed: The sour sentence he sent himself just now is the most suitable for him. From Sohu to Hanhua, this guy has achieved amazing achievements in his career, but he has failed in personal feelings.
"I have seen your speech in the Centennial Lecture Hall, and you extended 'knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is the right cognitive model and practice', which I think makes sense. Some things, no matter how he ends, just do it with his head down. If you succeed, everyone will be happy, and if you fail, you will start all over again, what do you think?"
Difficult, this is the so-called easy to know and difficult to do, Li Jiaming avoided talking about it and brought up the matter of Ali. Ali does do a bigger job than Sohu Tesco, but the reputation is enough to choke, even if Sohu does not expose black materials, there are often people who go to the door of the company to pull banners, sarcastically saying that they are a distribution center for counterfeit and shoddy products.
"You don't understand, we have to solve the problem of having and not having to deal with it first, not the question of good and bad. Don't look at the domestic economic development, but how many people are really rich?
I admit that some merchants sell fakes, but the quality of fakes must be inferior?
Not necessarily, after more than 20 years of development, many manufacturers produce products that are not necessarily worse than genuine products, they just lack the confidence and ability to establish a brand. Rest assured, we are preparing to make a platform similar to SOHU Tesco, where those reputable merchants can be put there, so that everyone can take what they need. ”
Existence is reasonable, Li Jiaming knows this truth, but his original intention was to divert the topic, and he casually echoed the topic when it diverged.
"You just have to know what to expect, but I gave you a lot of money. ”
"Hypocrisy, didn't you say you don't care about money?"
"Idiot!"
"Villain!"
The two teased and joked with each other, and after getting drunk, they went to sleep separately, and the next morning, Li Jiaming personally drove him to the airport.
After returning from the airport, Li Jiaming took the initiative to discuss the issue of iPhone pre-installed software with Klye, and there was only one principle, taking into account the interests of individuals and companies. Seeing that the boss took the initiative to mention this, Klye didn't hide it, he had this idea for a long time, but he was hesitant for various reasons, and his idea was more thoughtful.
In the name of patent licensing fees, we first collect a sum of money from those software vendors who have obtained the source code, pre-install their software in their mobile phones, and when there are a large number of applications on the market, they immediately link various mobile phone applications on the company's website for consumers to download freely, and then make a profit from advertisers and software vendors.
"My idea is that if the software is free, we don't take money, and if the software isn't free, we have to take a commission. ”
It's the best of both worlds, and the companies that get the pre-installed software pay for it, but they actually get the upper hand. People are inert, and when they get used to using a certain piece of software, they will continue to use it as long as there is no alternative on the market that is much better than its performance.
"Klye, your ideas are great, but also stick to our principles. ”
Klye nodded repeatedly, and the company's principle is not to touch any application software except for the operating system. This is an era of collaboration, and you have to leave a room for others to grow, so that the 'great' system can quickly gain a foothold and become the choice of everyone, because everyone can make money by applying on top of this system."
"Yes, Microsoft's success is ostensibly due to its simplicity and ease of operation, but in fact, it is due to the openness of the indos series, and all software vendors can carry out secondary development on its platform, constantly launching more and better application software, and creating an excellent ecosystem. We not only want to make an epoch-making product, but also build a good ecosystem around this product!
Kyle, if we can build an ecosystem, the 'Excellence' system can become an indos on mobile!"
Ecosystem?
This is a novel and appropriate proposal, and after tasting it for a while, Klye nodded in agreement. Of course, as a conversation between friends, not between superiors and subordinates, Klye also gives advice to friends. Although Lee has huge interests at Google, his first consideration as CEO is the company's interests. If you fight for financial resources, Google can't fight Yahoo, and the pre-installed software of the iPhone can only be developed by Yahoo, unless there is a huge gap in the quality of the two, and that situation will hardly happen.
"Ming, if Google doesn't agree to pay royalties, we can let Google's software occupy a good position, but in the end, whether it can be recognized by consumers depends on themselves. ”
didn't call himself a boss, but called a name, that is, a conversation between friends, and Li Jiaming didn't hide it: "Klye, you don't understand what I mean." Jerry approached me and wanted to exchange 15% of my Yahoo shares for my Google shares. ”
This choice is easy to make, the pros and cons are clear at a glance, but it is also the most difficult to choose. The value of a tech company is not in its market capitalization, but in its potential, Yahoo's value has reached its peak, but Google's potential has not yet been fully revealed.
Kyle pondered for a moment and said sincerely: "Ming, Jerry's proposal is risk-free, the test is almost over, the industrial design still needs to be revised for a while, and it will take time for my idea to be implemented, you can compare the situation of both parties before making a decision." ”
Old words, but you have to hide it from Yang Zhiyuan, if you let him know that the company will not charge software vendors, this transaction will be in vain.
"Don't worry, the company is in our hands, and he can't hear the news of what we don't want him to know. ”
"Okay, I'll think again. ”
Back in his office, Li Jiaming habitually modeled, using data to analyze the pros and cons, and at the same time wondered whether to write a paper on the Internet ecosystem, after the listing, it would definitely trigger a sales boom. Don't underestimate that award, in addition to personal honors, it is good for the company's marketing. The more outstanding the founder, the more the media will deify Hanhua, and drive consumers to also deify, which can greatly improve the reputation of the brand.
