Chapter Seventy-Eight: Q&A

As soon as Yang Lin's words fell, the simultaneous interpreter repeated his words in English, and the press conference hall suddenly exploded like a hot oil pan with water.

The reporters' eyes widened, and no one expected that Google and Apple would reach such a cooperation with Matrix Digital.

Even those foreign reporters were also stunned by Yang Lin's words.

Google doesn't care, according to the current popularity of [Matrix Optimization], Google paid $200 million to get 30% of the equity of [Matrix Optimization], which is worth it.

But Apple is incomprehensible, how can Cook use APPStore's authorization in exchange for a stake in [Matrix Optimization]?

It's incredible!

"Hasn't Apple always been accustomed to eating alone, APPStore is Apple's core business, and it was so easy to let its license out?"

"What are you kidding, using [Matrix Optimization] in exchange for the authorization of APPStore, does Matrix Digital want to enter the mobile operating system market?"

There were bursts of whispers at the press conference, and reporters turned their heads one by one, as long as they knew a little about the mobile phone industry, they knew how contrary to common sense this agreement was.

"Please be quiet!"

Yang Lin didn't care about the reporters' doubts at all, smiled slightly, and continued: "The second news I want to announce next is related to [Matrix Optimization]. ”

The scene gradually quieted down, and the reporters focused their cameras on Yang Lin, and the flash clicked non-stop, as if it was denser than before.

Yang Lin said: "After half a month, [Matrix Optimization] will be automatically upgraded, and the upgraded [Matrix Optimization] will open a charging service, of which the annual fee in Chinese mainland is 24 yuan per year, and if you pay monthly, 2.5 yuan per month." The annual fee price in Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and other regions will be unified at $10, and the monthly payment will be $1 per month, and the free version of [Matrix Optimization] will be discontinued! Okay, that's the main content of today's conference, let's return the topic to the host. ”

There was another buzz at the scene, and this time, the attitude of the reporters was much calmer than before, and many people began to frown and think about the relationship between Matrix Digital, Apple and Google behind the signing of this agreement.

[Matrix Optimization] launched a fee-based service, and they were not too surprised.

After all, such a popular product, if you rely on advertising push services alone, the profit is limited, and if you don't choose to charge, it will be called brain water.

The only surprise is that the price is much higher than many people think.

You should know that in the Android market, there are very few apps that choose paid services, and most apps rely on advertising to make profits. Although only 20% of Apple's APPStore is free, the price is not high, and APP priced at one to three dollars abounds, while [matrix optimization] is a monthly payment model, 2.5 yuan per month in China, and 1 dollar per month abroad.

In this way, the momentum of the large-scale expansion of [Matrix Optimization] will inevitably be frustrated, and it is even likely that only some users will choose paid services.

The reporters were smart people, and they quickly sensed the hidden meaning behind the agreement.

The disadvantages that they can see, can't Google, Apple, and Matrix Digital see?

Thinking about the series of agreements reached between Matrix Digital, Google and Apple, many people gradually came back to their senses and looked at Yang Lin on the rostrum with shocked eyes.

Google and Apple shouldn't be fooled by this young man, right?

This fee agreement is clearly used by Apple to restrict Google, so it's no wonder that Apple would rather license APPStore to Matrix Digital and get a 30% stake in Matrix Optimization.

Thinking about it, according to the significance of [Matrix Optimization] to Google, I am afraid that Yang Lin opened his mouth to Page Lion, and Page also had to pinch his nose to admit it.

But people just pulled Apple in, and among the two giants, they not only obtained Google's $200 million in financing, but also got Apple's APPStore authorization!

It seems that Page and Cook appeared in China at the same time some time ago, and it was this young man who did it behind the scenes.

After thinking about this series of experiences, many reporters looked at Yang Lin with strange eyes.

If you don't hug Google's thighs, you just want to walk a tightrope among these two giants, whether to call him stupid or to say that he is not self-sufficient.

The press conference soon entered the next link, Yu Donghua said: "Next, Mr. Cook, Mr. Page and Mr. Yang Lin are invited to sign the relevant contracts. ”

Page, Cook and Yang Lin signed the relevant cooperation agreement on behalf of Google, Apple, and Matrix Digital respectively, and signed the relevant cooperation agreement under the witness of more than 100 media reporters at the scene.

Yu Donghua said with a smile: "Next, let's enter the final question session of this press conference!" The time lasts about an hour, a total of 20 questions, please hurry! ”

As soon as the words fell, the conference hall suddenly became like a forest.

Yu Donghua pointed to the middle position and said, "Please invite this lady who is second in the fourth row." ”

A reporter who looked to be in his thirties stood up and said, "Mr. Yang, Mr. Page, Mr. Cook, hello, I'm Li Yun, a reporter from Capital Youth Daily. I have a question for Mr. Yang, does Matrix Digital's use of [Matrix Optimization] 30% of the equity in exchange for Apple's APPStore license mean that Matrix Digital will enter the mobile phone operating system market? ”

Everyone focused on Yang Lin, this question was not only what the reporter wanted to ask, but also what all the reporters present wanted to know.

Chen Xin was not surprised by this question at all, and said with a smile: "Thank you Ms. Li for your question, this involves the future development of Matrix Digital, but I can tell you very clearly that the next step of Matrix Digital is indeed to develop a domestic mobile phone operating system." ”

The press conference once again sounded a buzzing sound, and many reporters whispered to each other to discuss, although many people had already guessed in their hearts, but it still triggered a discussion among everyone. Some people also laughed secretly, as if they were laughing at Yang Lin's inadequacy.
