Chapter 1337: More Traps Than Pies (72/78)

“Half of Free City's APP apps are free to allow customers to find customers, let customers influence customers, use Internet tools, and reduce the cost of finding customers. This provides free services to some customers and offers discounts to most of them.

Is free a good thing?

Honestly, everyone understands that it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, it's just a business model, it depends on what the purpose of free is.

At this point, Google's “free lunch” continues to be so successful that you can see that free lunch is also profitable! ”

True Andy, smiling at Lily Collins' slim waist, with a tiny bubble of amber champagne, faces a group of CEOs from major investment banks around him, including two founders of Google, smiling about some of the recent money burning activities in the Free City mall and the decision to offer half free software APP downloads.

“Ha ha... ”

Everyone had to laugh at the same time, especially Sergei Boolean, the founder of "Free Lunch" for employees at Google, shook his head with laughter. Andy's free lunch in his mouth and Google's truly free food were two concepts, but it had to be said that a simple joke dispelled some of the concerns of many investors about the burning of money in Freedom City.

Andy knows better than anyone that all the guys around him are JIAN cunning ghosts. Even if they have a good outlook for the APP mall in Freedom City, they have to weigh the pros and cons. After all, in the financial storm, everyone needs money.

“Free product delivery. Who wouldn't! Right, if you have money, you can send it. If so, where's the core competitiveness?

How do you manage to reach the expected JIAO rate with users who are attracted for free?

If you can't reach it, isn't sending the product just to make money and drink?

The other one. We're having an event today. Tomorrow? And the day after tomorrow?

Does it have to be sent every day to constantly attract users? ”

Lily Collins had a fascinating look on her face, a pair of big eyes dangling at Andy's handsome side face, watching him talk, mastering the entire communication process, surrounding the IT, the big players in the investment world, listening carefully to Andy's words, making Lily proud, while also becoming more and more admired and obsessed with Andy.

“Therefore, smart people are not just sending products randomly. This product should not only serve the purpose of attracting users, but also serve to retain users. The best product to send is the product that users often use, so that they can keep in constant communication with users, stay in touch for a long time, and become JIAO users.

Besides, we have beautiful ads for users to browse on our free pages, which is a win-win for us and our users! ”

“Oh... ”

“Wonderful, Andy, I have to say, you're a business genius, to be honest, when the Apple App Store was listed and defaulted on removing the Free City APP, many people, including me, thought Free City would be replaced by the Apple App Store News Speed.

Now, on the contrary, the Apple App Store has grown on its own strengths, but it has also had to join the battlefield of competing market shares as Freedom City moves forward. ”Eric Schmidt, Google's CEO, smiled.

“Free is the best business strategy among commercial competitors, the best way to improve online effectiveness is to pay attention to the economic era.

As a way of promoting, we can get a large number of users who can temporarily forget the disadvantages of a product and quickly make a silent product a big star.

Faced with a huge user base and traffic, Apple had to fight because our Freedom City is NO1, and as challengers, they can only follow our rhythm.

Compared to 300 million downloads, the only difference is that we have a huge repository of free APPs and contracted customized APP software engineers all over the world, backed by unique APP apps and free upgrades that are only available in our Free City.

Our company's dollars have never been wasted. In the Internet age, it's not the competitors that are stronger than you that are scariest, but you don't even know who your competitors are... ”

Andy smiled slightly, lifted his right hand with the champagne cup, and stretched out his finger to draw a circle next to his head to continue laughing: “Internet thinking, layout across borders, robbing the source market. If they don't want to be thrown away, they can only devote more human and material resources to fighting! ”

Everyone in the room nodded seriously, and Andy was not so smart and difficult to understand, but a combination of pre-emptive steps and financial crushing that, whether the opponent wanted it or not, would be dragged into the competition unless the opponent surrendered and willing to abandon the market.

Free City APP Store, burning money early to buy out many free applications to build their own software application repository, play exclusive downloads, sign flexible contracts to decentralize free software engineers around the world, use big data AB testing and other methods to continuously optimize user experience, customize application software according to customer preferences.

These are the corporate development strategies that Andy has put in place and that he intends to pursue in the future.

HTC in Bay and Google have launched the first smartphone with Android, which will be available next year, and since then Android has become the premier mobile system for mobile phone manufacturers around the world.

The advantages of the Apple App Store over the Free City APP Store may eventually disappear.

Andy squinted his eyes and smiled with a smile, but remembered Li Xiaoying, who had flown to Bay and Aunt Xue to negotiate with HTC, how well the negotiations had progressed recently.

“Ladies and gentlemen, my sincerity has been demonstrated in the company valuation, and the 5 billion dollar valuation, absolutely no overestimated moisture, and I think you all know very well what a billion downloads is, and there's a reason for free software downloads, and there's an activity factor.

However, the free strategy of doing so in the front section is to pave the way for back-end charges! The all-purpose marketing strategy. You're all experts, I don't need to say more.

For the first round of financing, I'll give you 15% of the shares, and if you're interested, you can contact us tomorrow to sign a deal. ”

“Andy, these are all fine, we just have some suggestions about the size of your first round of financing, and 15 percent is just too little... ”

Andy looked at Redwood Capital Partner Jim Gortz and, hearing him, shook his head and laughed: "Jim, to be honest, I could have waited another year or two for the first round of financing.

But the Free City mall has a new strategic layout plan to start. In the Internet age, time is money. Even if it's a financial storm, we can't stop. All of you here lack the funds and connections. This is what Free City needs for its future development.

And 15% of the shares, that's a lot, because I know better than anyone how much potential the Free City APP mall has, and in the future, it's more than that, and I don't want to regret it. ”

Andy's voice had just fallen, and everyone in the room shook their heads helplessly and laughed. Larry Page, with white hair, ignored everyone and said directly: "We want all of Google. ”

“Oh, Larry, this can't be done, we're not short of money... ”

“We Jiyuan Capital... ”

Andy smiled and watched people quote the amount of shares they wanted. Be proud of yourselves and compete. Only then will you scream up again. I didn't say you can't overestimate the city value of my freedom!
