Chapter 898: How much does the promotion fee cost?
Am I really not suitable for IT?
More than 1 million may be just a drizzle for a powerful IT company. However, for an ordinary person like Wu Xinhong, more than 1 million is completely his entire asset. However, even if 1 million yuan is spent, not many people use the Meitu App, the software developed by Wu Xinhong.
What to do?
Whether to continue, or to exit
Quitting is undoubtedly declaring one's own failure.
But if it continues, where will the funds for publicity and promotion come from?
Venture capital?
Wu Xinhong has not thought about venture capital.
In fact, as early as some time ago, Wu Xinhong went to find many venture capital companies.
It's just that various venture capital companies are not interested in the Meitu App, a software developed by Wu Xinhong. Even, some people from venture capital companies ridiculed that this is completely sling software. At first glance, the Meitu App knew that it was a copycat PS (Photoshop), but the copycat was not as good as the copycat, and there were many imperfect functions. What kind of market does such a retouching software have?
At this point, Wu Xinhong no longer went to venture capital.
However, now Wu Xinhong really can't hold on.
Somewhat depressed, Wu Xinhong looked up some information about Zhang Ning on the Internet.
Yes, Zhang Ning is Wu Xinhong's idol.
Although Zhang Ning made Facebook later, it seems to have robbed him of his innovation.
But Wu Xinhong still regards Zhang Ning as an idol.
Because Wu Xinhong knew that Zhang Ning would never rob him of his creativity.
After all, there are many people in this world who think the same way.
Moreover, Zhang Ning also did what he failed to do.
Penguin entered the United States, and Zhang Ning laid out the world Internet.
Penguin company is invincible in the country, who is the next penguin.
Wu Xinhong checked some news about Naning one by one.
He didn't want to know what Zhang Ning was doing recently, and he didn't just look at him like an idol.
The reason why Wu Xinhong watched the attention was that Wu Xinhong felt that Zhang Ning had a lot worth learning and learning from.
It's like Facebook.
After watching Zhang Ning's strategy of launching Facebook, Wu Xinhong knew why he failed.
He wanted to learn some skills from Zhang Ning to be an IT company.
Alas, a peerless genius like Zhang Ning may really not be suitable for his own study.
Half an hour later, Wu Xinhong said with emotion.
In the past, many friends, including people they knew, would say that Wu Xinhong was a genius.
However, Wu Xinhong himself knows that he is just smarter than ordinary people, and he is far from being a genius.
Even if he is a genius, he is just an ordinary person compared to those super geniuses.
Like, compared with Zhang Ning, any of his genius moves made Wu Xinhong extremely shocked.
He really couldn't believe how Penguin's series of strategies came up with.
If I have a genius like Zhang Ning, I'm afraid that the Meitu App will not be able to promote it.
Everyone should have the opportunity to shine in life.
Another piece of news entered Wu Xinhong's eyes.
This sentence made Wu Xinhong a little moved.
A very heartwarming sentence.
When Wu Xinhong finished reading this piece of news, Wu Xinhong was even more ignited by this sentence.
Everyone should have the opportunity to shine in life.
Zhang Ning stood at a height again.
This height, no longer the original only for himself, only for the penguins, he has begun to think about all the people in the world.
Just like this sentence, Wu Xinhong believes that this sentence may affect him for the rest of his life.
I don't know when I might have the opportunity to shine in life.
Hey, no, it seems that Zhang Ning didn't just say this.
In addition to sighing, Wu Xinhong suddenly seemed to remember something.
In this chapter of the news, it seems that Zhang Ning's Penguin Company has launched a new business.
Penguin App Store?
What is this?
After carefully reviewing this news, Wu Xinhong discovered a brand new business.
It's just that this news didn't introduce the Penguin App Store in detail, he just commented on what Zhang Ning said, everyone should have a chance to shine in life.
After thinking about it, Wu Xinhong turned off the news and began to search for the Penguin App Store.
The Penguin App Store is the latest app store launched by Penguin Defender......
That's great.
After briefly reading the introduction of Penguin Mall, Wu Xinhong was a little excited.
With a shudder, he opened the 360 Guardian that he had downloaded and used before.
That's right, the Penguin Mall is prominently displayed in the bottom right corner of the entire Penguin Defender client.
Clicking on the Penguin Mall, Wu Xinhong saw a newly launched software - Penguin Game Accelerator.
10 million downloads.
Damn, 10 million.
How long has the Penguin App Store been launched, and there have been 10 million downloads so soon?
No, it's not just the horrible download rate.
What surprised Wu Xinhong the most was that he also found out that Penguin Game Accelerator was actually a fee-based software.
$5 a month.
30 million, doesn't that mean that this small software alone has earned 50 million US dollars.
Moreover, this is still a month's profit, 12 months a year, isn't that a profit of $600 million a year.
$600 million.
My goodness.
This Nima is too profitable.
Wu Xinhong never thought that a small piece of software would be so profitable.
In Wu Xinhong's understanding, the kind of software that wants to make money is at least that kind of large-scale software.
Like office software, antivirus software, etc.
However, now that you compare it, even if it's an antivirus, the profit of a year can't be compared to this little penguin game accelerator. Even, even some online games, it is impossible to make money with this software.
If the Meitu App is also promoted in this app store, I don't know......
A voice sounded in Wu Xinhong's head.
It's just that Wu Xinhong has some lack of confidence.
With a group as big as Penguin, would they work with them?
There was some lack of confidence, and Wu Xinhong seemed a little hesitant.
The blows of venture capital firms were still fresh in his mind, and he was afraid that Penguin would not look down on their software.
"Fight, look down on it, look down on it. However, if you don't seize this opportunity, you will only have a dead end. ”
Gritting his teeth, Wu Xinhong was ready to fight.
Whether the Penguin Company can afford it or not, there is no way back.
Moreover, Wu Xinhong also has some expectations in his heart.
Perhaps, a company like Penguin, he certainly won't be like these venture capital firms.
At least, Wu Xinhong thinks that with Zhang Ning's management of the company, Penguin Company will not be like this.
With some apprehension, Wu Xinhong contacted the customer service of Penguin Mall.
"Hello, this is the Penguin Defender App Store, how can I help you."
"Hello, I have a software that I want your app store to help promote, may I ask, what kind of procedures and procedures are needed."
"Hello, thank you very much for your support of Penguin Mall. First of all, you can register a software developer account in Penguin Mall, and after you have successfully logged in to your account and entered the backend, you can upload your software to us. Of course, the premise is that the software is made by you or by the company you work for. ”
"Of course, this is a software that I made, and I have the ownership of this software."
"That's fine. Once uploaded, your software will be reviewed. We will contact you in about a week at most. ”
"Oh, okay, thanks."
Wu Xinhong nodded and thanked the customer service.
Hanging up the phone, Wu Xinhong began to wait for a call from Penguin's customer service.
He wants his software to be audited by Penguin.
However, he was a little worried that Penguin would think that the software was too simple and would not recommend it.
In addition, Wu Xinhong also has some entanglements.
If the audit is passed, I don't know how much Penguin will charge for promotion.
500,000, or 1,000,000?
Or 10 million?
Penguin Defender is said to be used by hundreds of millions of people around the world, and the cost of promoting it on it is not low.
But now I don't have a penny in my hand.
On the one hand, there were some worries, and on the other hand, there were some entanglements, and unconsciously, 3 days passed.
Three days later, Wu Xinhong received a call back from Penguin.
"Hello, is this Mr. Wu Xinhong, our review of your Meitu App will be put on our Penguin Mall tomorrow for sale."
"Ah, really?"
Wu Xinhong was surprised and delighted, but he didn't expect that Penguin Company really took a fancy to its software.
"Yes, Mr. Wu Xinhong, please do a good job in customer service and other operational work of the Meitu App while promoting and promoting the Meitu App. We anticipate that a large number of people may download the Meitu App during the promotional period. ”
"Okay, okay, no problem, I'll arrange the manpower right now."
Wu Xinhong replied excitedly.
"In addition, for the first time, we will do a 7-day promotion and promotion of the Meitu App developed by you, which means that within 7 days, your Meitu App will be promoted as the main software in the Penguin App Store."
"Great, thank you."
Wu Xinhong hurriedly thanked.
"You're welcome, that's all for the specific things, I don't know Mr. Wu Xinhong, do you have any other problems here."
"No, no."
Wu Xinhong said no, but thought of the problem of promotion costs, and hurriedly said, "There is a problem." ”
A little embarrassed, Wu Xinhong asked weakly.
"I would like to ask, how much does it cost you to promote for a week?"
"Hello, we don't need money to promote the Penguin App Store."
The customer service answers directly.
"Ah, no money."
Wu Xinhong felt that there were some ideas that he couldn't keep up with.
"You're saying that your Penguin App Store is free to help us promote."
"Yes, it's free."
The customer service reconfirmed. However, the customer service also said at this time, "Mr. Wu Xinhong, maybe you haven't specifically checked the cooperation regulations of our Penguin App Store. We will help you promote the software for free, but we will share 55% of the sales generated after the promotion. ”
"Fifty-fifty?"
Wu Xinhong then understood what was going on.
It turned out to be such a cooperation.
I was worried about how much publicity money I had to give a few days ago.
It seems that Penguin has a vision.
We'll push it for you for free, and after you push it, we'll collect the money.
Although it seems to be free, the next fifty-fifty percent can definitely earn back the previous promotion fee.
High, really high.
No wonder Penguin is the world's No. 1 IT company, awesome, awesome.
"Why, Mr. Wu Xinhong, you don't agree to this cooperation?"
The customer service seemed to have misunderstood what Wu Xinhong meant, and Wu Xinhong hurriedly explained.
"No, no, no, I thought it would take a lot of money to work with your company. No problem, we agree to such a split. ”
Although it seems that fifty-fifty is more, Penguin took fifty percent at once. But think about it, without Penguin's promotion, no matter how good your software is, I'm afraid others won't know it. Moreover, such a share is also very suitable for ordinary software developers like them. After all, they have limited strength and can't come up with the funds to compete with those giant software companies. The five-fifty model is the most beneficial to them and the most conducive to the cooperation of Penguin.
"Then there's no problem. By the way, there's one more question. ”
The customer service almost hung up the phone, and then said, "Mr. Wu Xinhong, I'm sorry, I almost forgot, there is another important thing that I haven't notified you." ”
"What's important?"
"Hello, that's right. Chairman Zhang Ning sent us a call to the Penguin Defender branch, and he said that he noticed your Meitu App and he thought that the Meitu App you developed was very good, and users would definitely like it. However, he also noticed that your Meitu App is only available in Chinese, and he asked us to bring him a sentence. Mr. Wu Xinhong, why don't you develop an English version? ”
"What, Zhang Ning, you said Zhang Ning noticed my software?"
Almost, Wu Xinhong thought he had misheard.
Oh my God, idols are actually looking at their own products.
It's so exciting.
"Yes, Mr. Wu Xinhong, Chairman Zhang Ning has indeed paid attention to your software."
"Thank you, thank you, I will definitely seriously consider Mr. Zhang Ning's construction."
A phone call, also in Wu Xinhong's excitement, ended here.
At the same time, the Meitu App, which was previously produced by Wu Xinhong, has also officially landed on the promotion of the Penguin App Store.
5 RMB for life, free trial for half a month.
Unlike the Penguin Game Accelerator's $5 per month, Wu Xinhong doesn't dare to open his mouth like a lion.
And this is China, and this is a place where piracy is a big deal.
can make a little money, Wu Xinhong feels good.
Moreover, Wu Xinhong has always wanted the Meitu App to be used by everyone for free.
It's great to be able to charge now.
With the recommendation of the Penguin App Store, the Meitu App has just been released and immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Unlike Penguin Game Accelerator, if you say that Penguin Game Accelerator can only attract gamers. Well, the Meitu App, a software that makes images of the app, can appeal to almost all users who use computers.
At the same time, coupled with the recommendation from Penguin Mall, with the Meitu App, my mother no longer has to worry about me not being able to p-image, and countless users have downloaded and tried it......
It's the same as the testimonial.
The Meitu App is as simple as that.
The Meitu App is such a fool.
That's how the Meitu App opens, and everyone can operate it.
Accidentally, the Meitu App has become another popular software application after Penguin Game Accelerator.
