Chapter 35 Application Vendor Competition

After completing the testing of the intelligent voice butler APP, Lin Xuan did not relax. Next, he wants to upload the app to the Android app market.

Of course, before that, he also had to encrypt the software, otherwise it would not be fun to be decompiled.

At nine o'clock in the morning on November 9, 2015, Lin Xuan officially uploaded the encrypted software intelligent voice butler to several application markets with large installation rates such as Android Market, Anzhi Market, Wandoupod, Youyi Market, Jifeng Market, and Application Exchange in his rental house.

Most of these Android APP stores need to be reviewed, and the review time is two to three days, and Lin Xuan is not in a hurry, because he has absolute confidence in his intelligent voice butler.

After uploading the software, Lin Xuan could finally rest and relax, so he called Yang Shuke and made an appointment to go to the movies together.

During this time, there were many good movies released, and Yang Shuke had always wanted to watch them, but Lin Xuan was busy developing the APP and couldn't accompany Yang Shuke more, which made him feel a little guilty, so he decided to compensate Yang Shuke for the past few days.

……

Zhou Xiang is an app auditor in Baidu's Android market, and his daily job is to review the apps uploaded by countless developers. Reviewing copyrights, viruses, embedded ads, etc., and then publishing them to the Android Marketplace according to categories, is a hectic and boring day-to-day job.

And now the competition in the Android market is fierce, and Baidu's Android application market is not dominant, only occupying less than 10% of the market share, which is almost one of the worst departments in the entire Baidu company, which also directly leads to the low status of the employees in the entire Android market department in the company, and they can't raise their heads anywhere.

You must know that even if it is the same company in the IT industry, the competition between various departments is very fierce, and which department has high revenue and good performance will naturally have a high status in the company.

Although Zhou Xiang only graduated from an ordinary undergraduate university, he is a very ideal person, when he first came to Baidu, he was full of enthusiasm, looking forward to the day when his department could raise his eyebrows, and he could raise his head and be a man, but this expectation was ruthlessly slapped in the face by reality, until there was little blow left.

If it weren't for Baidu's very good welfare and mortgage pressure, he would probably have chosen to change jobs.

However, today's Zhou Xiang sees the hope of the rise of their Android marketing department.

Because when he was just reviewing the newly uploaded APP, he found a software that shocked him very much, called Intelligent Voice Manager.

At first, he saw that this software was developed by himself, and the description was amazing, which made him think that this software was just a trick, maybe it was some boring technology nerd, so they were happy.

But although he thought so in his heart, he was responsible for the work, and he still reviewed the software step by step, and he made sure that the software was not poisonous, without any background download plug-ins, and without any small ads, and downloaded the software to the test phone for testing.

But when he finished installing it and testing it, he was stunned by the power of this one.

Although he didn't know how the internal program of this software works and what kind of technical content it has, he was already shocked by the powerful speech recognition engine and powerful optimization ability of this software.

He believes that if this software becomes an exclusive release in their Android market, then the installed base of their Android market will definitely soar in an instant, and their department may also really rise.

So he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately reported this software to the leader - Wang Dongyuan.

After listening to Zhou Xiang's description of the intelligent voice butler, Wang Dongyuan was also skeptical, and even thought that Zhou Xiang was nervous.

In his opinion, with today's technology, how can anyone write such powerful software!

If you can, then Apple's Siri won't be so chicken, and Google has already optimized the Android system.

However, when Wang Dongyuan personally tested the software, the whole person was also deeply impressed.

"It's amazing, this is the real intelligent software, this software is definitely a cross-era software that can cause the industry to shake, Xiao Zhou, you really found gold! Hahaha, go quickly, see if other platforms of this software provide downloads, by the way, find a way to contact the uploader, we must grab the exclusive publishing rights of this software, and then arrange the best recommended position for the software as soon as possible! Wang Dongyuan said with excitement on his face.

"Yes!" Zhou Xiang nodded excitedly and immediately left Wang Dongyuan's office.

Wang Dongyuan also hurriedly picked up the phone and called Xu Hanfeng, the company's technical director, and then sent the software to the technical department for technical testing and research.

But Wang Dongyuan didn't expect that the software he sent to the technical department was like sending a bomb in the past, which instantly made the entire technical department fry.

At the same time, not only the technical department of Baidu, but also several companies such as Anzhi Market, Wandoupod, and Application Hui have also become a sensation because of this intelligent voice butler software.

……

Lin Xuan originally planned to go to the mall with Yang Shuke, then eat something, and go to the movies in the afternoon, but as soon as he and Yang Shuke came to the mall, his mobile phone suddenly rang.

Lin Xuan picked up the phone, and the other party claimed that he was the product manager of the Android market, and wanted to negotiate the "Intelligent Voice Butler" franchise agreement with Lin Xuan, hoping to meet Lin Xuan in person.

Lin Xuan was slightly surprised, although he knew that his software would definitely attract the attention of major application providers, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, it was less than two hours after uploading the software, and he had already received a call from the Android market, and he wanted to negotiate a franchise agreement.

Lin Xuan knows very well that the so-called franchise agreement means that his software can only be published on one platform and provided for download, which will limit the promotion and popularization of the software.

Of course, in exchange for this, it may be that the other party pays the franchise buyout fee, as well as full promotion protection, which can make up for the restrictions brought by the exclusive platform release.

"Okay, I'll think about it first and call you back later!"

Although he said that he was considering, Lin Xuan was actually very interested in the Android market, although he also knew that the Android market did not have an advantage among many application platforms, but he was very optimistic about the mountain behind it - Baidu.

After all, since the other party took the initiative to negotiate the franchise agreement, he will definitely vigorously promote his software in the future, and even promote it through various channels of Baidu behind it, which will definitely be of great help to the promotion of the software.

However, Lin Xuan also expected in his heart, I am afraid that at this time, there is not only the Android market that wants the exclusive right to publish his own software, so he needs to wait.

Sure enough, less than a minute after Lin Xuan hung up the phone, his mobile phone rang again, it was a call from the manager of the application exchange company, and it was also about discussing the franchise agreement with Lin Xuan.

But in the end, Lin Xuan also said that he needed to think about it, so he postponed it for the time being. However, he has more confidence in his heart, as long as several application providers want to compete for franchise rights, then he will have more say in the negotiation and cooperation with them, and he can strive for more benefits for himself.
