Chapter 1071: The Limitations of the Future (Sangen)
Andy was already mentally prepared for the dual competition dilemma he was going to face, and there was nothing he could do about it. If it was going to rain, he could only get his umbrella up one step earlier and not get wet.
For Apple's bullying, Andy already had a plan to restrain it, because the cost of implementing it was too high and it would take a lot of money, so he would have to acquire his own bank to serve as a pool, and even with Intake, he would have to drag another big bank to put his back on.
Instead, Google, which has always wanted to split a cup, is a bit of an uproar. This is just as greedy a company, all the high-tech industries, want to get involved, but its advantages are really too obvious. If you don't want it to target the Free City APP Store as a competitor, maybe Andy can only absorb Google as a shareholder and completely cut off Google's idea of developing an APP sales platform.
Of course, this requires Andy to split some of his interests, and the key is whether it's attractive enough for Google, otherwise, even if Andy wants to work with someone, he won't necessarily want to.
No way, it seems time to throw out the fat piece of Free City APP, time is tight, opportunities are rare, the expansion of this IT company must be accelerated, to be honest, the money needs to be burned to seize the market.
Burn the money!
Andy naturally doesn't want to burn his own money. Isn't there a lot of people out there who want to interfere with his assets?
Well, Andy gave these guys a chance this time, and he decided to send out a message at Apple's post-Global Developers' Conference banquet that the Free City APP sales platform would finance the first time!
Well, it does mean a little bit of a punch at the face of Apple, and it's undoubtedly the same as a public call board when people's new product launches highlight the celebration of the Apple developers' lineup.
But who cares?
Since one's own strength cannot rival Apple, then pull the alliance, the IT industry belongs to that kind, the industry is the first to take an absolute advantage, one step ahead, it is important to burn money, suppress the later, squeeze the competitor's space until annexation is eliminated, and it is only by being a single player that the most successful competitive and cruel industry is achieved.
It perfectly explains what is called the notion that time equals money.
And there's no way, Apple has an ISO system, Google has an Android system, and Andy is just a service provider, and he belongs to a groundless air pavilion, and now the only way to do that is to build it up so hard, the higher the better.
Ideally, he would be able to pull Google in, so that Andy doesn't have to worry about it. Otherwise, he would have to squeeze the value of the Freedom City APP mall into his death. Then circle the money and take out the gold cicada shell. After all, the virtual economy, no core technology, just being fat, and being fat isn't really fat!
In order to understand this, Andy naturally won't wait to see his strengths slowly disappear before struggling to die.
Successful experience since crossing, through a successful acquisition, in addition to cultivating his own resolute harshness, huge wealth also gave him a very good bottom gas, which can be defeated and his opponents dead, can compensate for the bottom gas!
“Hey, I just don't know if you can afford to lose!” Sitting in the car, leaving from Manhattan Kennedy Airport, head straight to Andy's corner of Wall Street Gaia and whisper with a chill.
Alvitelli, who had called members of the think tank, had begun discussions in the conference room on the many issues facing the APP mall in Freedom City, brainstorming.
When Andy appeared in the conference room, Michael Wright, CEO of the Freedom City APP mall, was also online, discussing over half an hour via video and think tank crowd.
In the discussion, Michael Wright expressed a different view of the option of getting companies to finance now, which, in his view, was only in the early stages of development, well funded, and which was unnecessary now.
“Boss, Apple's Love Software Ecology is based on the development platform of Web2.0+AJAX. In fact, program developers don't pay for it. AppStore currently only has less than 1,000 apps. Although Love Phones is a timeless product, it still has many shortcomings, the market. ”
Hearing Michael Wright give Apple AppStore some disrespect, Andy frowned, seemingly temporarily dominating the market and rich profits made Michael a little floating.
“So far, how much has the Free City APP Store paid developers? ”
“$800 million... With total sales of $1.2 billion, our profit is around $400 million. ”
The members of the think tank present couldn't help but gaze slightly at how powerful the Freedom City APP mall is for the first time, which is almost comparable to the profitability of the Mockery Bird Gaming Company.
Andy looked at Al, and Alfresco dotted his head, and then he heard Michael Wright say, "Boss, I know what you're worried about, and maybe Apple's future will be strong, but at least it needs to see our faces now.
Boss, I have found all the top 10 DU developers based on IOS system applications, signed long-term cooperation agreements with them, and increased their share.
While Apple has closed our in-app purchases, we can definitely stop using them for price crushing for app developers, and for users, we have implemented a "first try and then buy” approach that allows users to get the features they need more accurately and freely.
Boss, I can assure you that Apple's AppStore store will not pose a threat to our mall in the next two years, unless Apple's crazy phone machine performance breaks out again, allowing Apple phones to take over all markets, but I don't think any of the world's biggest phone manufacturers will. ”
Hearing his own men say so confidently, Andy couldn't help but smoke the corner of his mouth, didn't show any superfluous expression on his face, still kept smiling lightly, but he couldn't help but sigh, Nima, Apple really made what you said impossible possible.
Punch Nokia, step on Motorola, and kill Blackberry for a thousand years...
However, confidence is a good thing. Naturally, his boss will not fight the motivation of his own people. The future is unknown. He can make his people think of him as worrying or proactive, but it is never possible to stand up and play GUN with his people and say what the future will be. Nima, even now Apple does not have the ambition to subvert the autocratic mobile market, just hope to be able to develop a small territory among a group of giant mobile phone manufacturers.
“Where's Google Android? What do you think?” Andy looked at Michael Wright on the computer monitor and asked.
“For Google, Google won't be moving this cheese for the next two or three years, when they contacted us and 83 other hardware manufacturers, software developers and telecom operators to form an open cell phone alliance to develop and improve Android systems against Apple's iOS system.
Now Google is choosing an open and free strategy to let Android camp expand rapidly, and it's planting season, and they're not going to harvest it right now... ”
“Have you thought about what if Apple shuts down the API excuse?” Andy frowned and looked at Michael Wright and asked.
“Unless Apple wants to get caught up in a lawsuit, Apple will never shut us down like this, because in-app purchases have given them a huge advantage, and Apple board members will never let Jobs get away with it. ”
Speaking this time was Alvitelli, who also seemed to agree strongly with Michael Wright that this was not the best time to throw out APP Mall financing in Freedom City, but rather a bit too cao hasty.
The look on Andy's face stagnated slightly, and then he fell into contemplation, and maybe he was really a little worried, and he laughed bitterly, frankly, or because he knew how powerful the future Apple company would be, putting too much pressure on him.
Nevertheless, he still has the guts to touch Apple, so get ready with both hands! Andy made up his mind.
“So put funding on hold, Michael, and then continue to push for more publicity, like discounts, time-limited free, consumer raffles, developer competitions, and other events without interruption, and I'll put five percent of the original stock in the equity incentive pool... ”
