Chapter 1007: WeChat (Part 2)
After thinking about it, Xiao Qi replied: "My wife, if you only look at the market in Huaguo, you may lose money. But if you look at it from a global perspective, you can make a lot of money. If I were you, I would Set a very low price, and then rely on the use of a large number of people to make money. After all, paid software will soon be a trend in the future. If you look at the programs and games in the app store, aren’t they all starting to make money in China? ?”
Huangfucai nodded and shook his head again: "Software can make money, it's from abroad. Huaguo's can only be a new idea. After a year or two, you will know whether they are willing to buy genuine copies. Don't be so sure at the beginning. , it is not good for the future development of the company!"
The boy did not refute the words of the fairy wife.
Facts have proved that, except for the fact that there was no cracked version of the Apple software at the beginning, the sales of the application reached a peak. In the next few years, the purchase of genuine iPhones and iPads was never too high, far lower. than Apple expected.
This is also a major reason why Gangzhu Qiao doesn't want to see the Huaguo market: You just bought and sold with one hammer, and all my long-term success in the future will be ruined by you. How can I make money?
Xiao Qi also analyzed it for a long time, and felt that the reason why the app store was not very successful was that, apart from the fact that users in Huaguo were used to using the free version, the fees charged by the app store were similar all over the world, and the price was set at A small floating range is also a big reason.
For example, the super-best-selling game "Angry Birds", the production company and Apple negotiated a price of 4-6 US dollars per copy, which is 30-48 yuan per copy in RMB. According to the consumption habits of Chinese people , most people cannot accept this price. I don't think it's worth it.
Although it is free under the Android platform, the hateful advertisements are overwhelming, which is also very annoying.
As a result, a large number of cracked versions appeared, and now everyone gradually used pirated versions, so that the production company and Apple could not receive a penny.
Now Xiao Qi prices this life's "Angry Sparrow" at 13 yuan a copy, which is equivalent to the price of a fast food. It is not a burden, and the sales volume has naturally increased by a hundred times compared with before, creating a miraculous success.
To be honest, the sales of the app store are booming now, and the electronic companies at home and abroad are all jealous of it, but Xiao Qi doesn't know how far the domestic app store can go.
Only as Huangfucai said, wait a few years to find out.
Perhaps with Xiao Qi's efforts, everyone will gradually accept genuine software more. It is also not certain that it will guide the development of Huaguo's software industry.
"No matter what, we can do it first, right?" Xiao Qi laughed, "It's amazing that the country is as free as possible, and you can make some money by advertising."
"It doesn't need to be free. Free things are the easiest to imitate, and it is easy to lose the motivation to continue working hard." Huangfucai shook his head. "I think we can learn from Penguin q.q. The software itself can be free of charge. But if you want to enjoy VIP membership treatment and more additional services, you need to pay to recharge... so most people use the free version, 20 If %-30% of users become VIP members, they can achieve continuous profitability.”
Xiao Qi smiled when he heard this.
It seems that Xiannv chose the line route.
In 2013, line had already accounted for 50% of the share in Japan, the most fashionable country in Asia. According to the super-exaggerated personality of the Japanese who love the new and hate the old, they can come out a year later than others, but still beat other competitors. The strength of line must not be underestimated.
This is also good, in the previous life, whatsapp and wechat took the lead. But according to the popularity of LINE in Japan, if you take such an opportunity, you might be able to create a new miracle in the world!
For men, there are not so many places worth spending money on WeChat, but for little girls, it is a very novel and interesting place, and their money is the best to earn.
Such as dressing up your own personal homepage, buying various novelty and fun props, sending videos and pictures with the fastest speed, the largest storage space, and having the function of calling group chats with friends...all of which can become girls who spend money like running water The place.
Penguin has done a good job in this area, but Xiao Qi believes that with the efforts of himself and his fairy wife, Line's development in this area will definitely be more fashionable and novel, and it will completely get out of the vulgar and meaningless circle of penguins——line in Japan The development of paid additional services does not have such bad reviews as Penguin, but everyone welcomes this paid service!
"Weibo now has a lot of experience in network operations. Weibo and new products are highly interoperable. It would not be a problem to develop such a product." Huangfucai began to ponder, "It happened just a while ago. At that time, they were giving me advice, saying that they would only manage the jurisdictions of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau with less than 50 million people, and then they would manage Weibo services. They would not need so many technicians and staff, and asked me to lay off staff. Part of it... Now that I have a new business to do, not only do I not have to lay off staff, but I can also expand my army~~"
At this point, she stopped talking, "By the way, husband, what do you think we should call this new product?"
Xiao Qi blurted out: "Of course it's WeChat!"
"Wei.xin? We.xin..." Huangfu Cai nodded with a smile, "Wei.blog and Wei.xin are only one word apart. It sounds quite connected, yes! Then it's called Wei.xin!"
"The general process, you gather people these few days, study it carefully, write a trial report, and my husband will help you check it." Xiao Qi said in a harmonious voice, "Then you can show your fist again! This time we You can do it yourself, and you don’t need to ask others to help you develop.” "The place is different, it is incomparable." Xiao Qi shrugged and said carefully, "No matter how much money you make in a foreign country, it is not as good as being king and hegemony in China! In China, your reputation is comparable to hers. Much more!" "Did you say that to her when you were in America?" Huangfu Cai stared at Xiao Qi and asked. Looking at her delicate dimple, Xiao Qi didn't know what to say for a while, because when he was in America, Tang Mingxiang also asked the same question, and that time he focused on appeasing Little Meiji's wife. Of course, the two little beauties are the women he loves deeply, and he will definitely not offend either of them. Weibo and WeChat are both very popular technologies, but they need to be accepted by people, and it still takes a while. At least in the next three to five years, there is no way to catch up with the market value of chosen girl. "Stupid~~" Huangfu Cai pursed his lips and smiled when seeing his man worried and frightened, "It's not like I'm pursuing you for anything... However, the battle between me and Xiang'er doesn't seem to be over yet." "What's so good about those fights? Why don't you compare who will give birth to my husband and me sooner!" Xiao Qi simply brazenly pushed the beautiful girl under his body again, "Baby, my mother has entrusted you with my best wishes!" High hopes! Our first child should have been born earlier!" "I'm only 19 years old, how can I be so early... oh~~ Take it easy...um..." In the sweet voice, the fairy classmate, who has long been the number one beauty in the Sichuan University circle, submissively cooperated with her lover's movements, shyly and joyfully enjoying the joy of fish and water...
