Chapter 90: 300 million can be expected
After spending a day at Google, Yang Lin was warmly received by Page and others.
In between, he visited Google Labs, experienced Google Eyes, and even test-drove a Tesla car.
Google's parking lot has a full charging facility, and many Google employees have purchased the new concept car, which is produced by the Silicon Valley company.
Subsequently, Yang Lin and Page, Brin and others had a discussion on the future development of [Matrix Optimization], and Page even discussed with Yang Lin the possibility of implanting the [Matrix Optimization] code into Google's native system, which Yang Lin just smiled and couldn't deny.
The next day, Yang Lin traveled to Cupertino, another town forty minutes from Mountain View, home to the headquarters of another top company in the world and recognized as the most innovative Apple.
Steve Jobs and his engineers pioneered the creation of the iPhone, which brought the world into the mobile Internet era and sent Nokia and Motorola, two top mobile phone manufacturers, to the grave.
It's a pity that the people are gone, and now the Apple is in Cook's hands.
Unlike Google's loose headquarters full of all kinds of smart ideas, Apple feels refined and elegant, just like their products, and although the iPhone is now almost reduced to an arcade machine in China, no one can deny the influence of Apple's industrial design on other manufacturers.
In particular, Apple's concept of the whole industry chain, closed-source operating system, and top-notch industrial design have brought Apple a huge number of fans around the world.
It's a pity that Yang Lin didn't come at the right time, otherwise if he came back in two years, Apple in his eyes might become another appearance full of science fiction.
The most central area of Cupertino has now been turned into a construction site, and the blueprints for Apple's spaceship headquarters from the Steve Jobs era are gradually becoming a reality in Cook's hands.
Yang Lin also spent a day at Apple, where he was warmly received by Cook, visited the Apple lab and Cook's engineering team, and even had the opportunity to see a model of Apple's new iPhone.
When talking to Cook, Yang Linke was much more honest. Both he and Cook know very well that the future of Matrix Digital will take a different route from Apple, and the main competitor of MatrixOS comes from Android. instead of iOS.
A day later, Yang Lincai, Cook and Page went to Los Angeles to attend the opening ceremony of the Matrix Optimization (North America) branch.
The Matrix Optimization (North America) branch was mainly formed by Google and Apple, and the head office did not send a single person.
This is also something that cannot be helped, and now Matrix Digital has only been established for three months. The trustworthy personnel in China are all in important positions, and they have to hand over the Matrix Optimization (North America) branch to Google and Apple.
In fact, not only the Matrix Optimization (North America) branch, but also the European branch, Japan and South Korea branch will be jointly established by Google and Apple.
However, Yang Lin is not worried about what the problem is, with the relationship between these two companies, they are destined to not be able to come together on the issue of [matrix optimization], the two sides check and balance each other, plus it is the experience of working hard all over the world for so many years, maybe the development is insufficient, but it is definitely more than enough.
In fact, there is another question, Yang Lin is also very puzzled. Although Los Angeles is the economic center of the western United States, most of the Internet companies are located in Silicon Valley on the south shore of San Francisco Bay, and Apple and Google are no exceptions, so he has always wondered why Apple and Google have their Matrix Optimization (North America) branches located in Los Angeles, hundreds of kilometers away.
Yang Lin once asked Cook in private, and Cook told him that this was the result of a compromise between the two companies, after all, matrix optimization was not suitable for either Cupertino or Mountain View, and in the end, the two were combined and simply placed in Los Angeles. Although the server and labor investment are slightly more expensive than those in Silicon Valley, [Matrix Optimization] is now optimistic about its profitability, and the two companies don't care about this little money.
On March 15, 2013, Matrix Digital, Google, and Apple held a grand press conference in Los Angeles. It was announced that the North American branch of [Matrix Optimization] was officially established in the United States, and at the same time, the English version of [Matrix Optimization 1.0] will be officially launched.
More than 100 journalists from all over the world came to the press conference, including more than 40 Chinese journalists, and Yang Lin naturally became the focus of their attention.
When a reporter asked Yang Lin what he expected from the development of [Matrix Optimization 1.0] in foreign countries, Yang Lin smiled. silently raised his fingers and said softly: "Three hundred million!" ”
In an instant, the entire press conference scene was detonated.
You must know that in addition to Chinese mainland, there are only 360 million users in other parts of the world, 90 million users in developing countries like India and Southeast Asia, and only 270 million users in truly developed countries, and the fee of [Matrix Optimization] multi-Chinese version is 2.5 times that of China, if there are 300 million users, it means that [Matrix Optimization] can bring him nearly 3 billion US dollars in revenue every year in foreign markets, equivalent to 19 billion yuan.
If you add to that domestic revenues, that's a huge sum of nearly $3.6 billion.
Although compared with giants such as Apple and Google, this revenue is only a fraction.
But the problem is that it is stable, as long as the smartphone industry remains in its current state, then [Matrix Optimization] will probably be able to maintain such revenue in the next five years.
I don't know how high the profit is, but at least it's more than 50 percent.
It's also scary.
Not only were Chinese journalists frightened by Yang Lin, but foreign journalists also changed color.
Even if there are not as many as 300 million matrix optimization users, according to its huge installed capacity, I am afraid that these three joint ventures can really become a new growth pole in the Internet industry.
The New York Times did a survey on its own website, how many people are willing to pay for [matrix optimization], the survey results are higher than everyone imagined, more than 95% of netizens choose to be willing, only 2% choose not to be willing, and the remaining 3% are unclear.
You must know that the installed base of [Matrix Optimization] in North America exceeds 140 million, so you can imagine the popularity of [Matrix Optimization].
Only then did the media reporters vaguely feel that the 300 million foreign users in Yang Lin's mouth may really be expected.
At two o'clock in the morning on March 16, 2013, the multi-Chinese version of [Matrix Optimization] officially began to be uploaded to the network. (To be continued.) )
