Chapter 1353 Improvements to the App Store (Thanks to JimH for the 10,000 Reward!)

Although it was night, Xiao Qi was also planning to start a man-made plan with the beautiful Northeast Dayan horse, but because of a sudden phone call, his good work was interrupted.

It was Master Qiao who called.

I checked the time, 10:00 pm, 7:00 am California Daylight Time.

Xiao Qi said helplessly: "Stephen, if you have nothing important to do, I think I've prepared a whole bunch of foul words."

"Foul words? This is not a gentleman's behavior." The old rascal Joe's leader said solemnly: "I have a business to find you... Don't you think our app store is expanding too fast now?"

"Isn't this good?" Xiao Qi said in surprise, "The more programs, the more we can get!"

Qiao Bangzhu said: "But when I received the financial report last month, I found that the total number of apps now exceeds 856,500, of which 630,000 are paid apps and 220,000 free apps. And the active apps There are only 690,000. In addition to free ones, only 500,000 paid ones remain active.

That is to say, nearly 20% of the paid apps are stagnant or rarely sold, but they occupy a total of 15.3% of website resources, cloud computing and cloud storage resources. This means that 15.3% of our expenditure was wasted!

Last month's app store expenditure was 650 million US dollars. If we reduce the expenditure by 15.3%, does it mean that the profit will increase significantly, and we can optimize resources and put more energy on those sustainable development What about the program? "

Xiao Qi nodded slightly.

What Gang Leader Qiao said was indeed a problem.

Those apps that the designers themselves think are very interesting and sure to make money, may not necessarily be well received by users.

It is not an option to blindly let them put the applications built behind closed doors in the app store. This continues to occupy more and more website resources, resulting in more and more expenses, but the developers of the application programs have no loss at all, at most they cannot sell them and make no money.

However, Gangzhu Qiao's approach was a bit too ruthless. If all these applications were deleted at once, the enthusiasm of the program developers would be greatly affected.

However, this is also the usual practice of Gangzhu Qiao. If you can't make money for me, get out!

Xiao Qi thought for a while, and said: "Some programs may not have a chance, so they are not booming. And now we don't have enough smart phones and smart tablets. With Apple's tablet computers, Fairy Company's smart phones, Samsung's Mobile phones and tablet PCs have entered the market one after another, and the number of users has increased a lot, which may give them a chance to flourish.”

"I see Xuan!" Leader Qiao disagreed, "Now the classification index of the app is very complete, and the recommendation measures of the website are also well done. It is not popular now, and the chance of becoming popular in the future is small, even if there is. The amount is not much, compared to the expenses we can reduce, it is definitely more cost-effective to dissuade them.”

After a pause, he said again: "Hey, look at those idiots from Samsung! What kind of smart phone do you want to make? Think Apple is so easy to surpass? Now it's all right, I'm so ashamed! I see, I'm afraid Only your dream stars can pose a certain threat to the iPhone."

From Joe's words, it can be seen how confident he is in the iPhone. and contempt for any opponent.

To do business, you need this kind of domineering arrogance.

certainly. If you only have this kind of domineering, but there is no matching product, then it can’t be called domineering, it’s called a frog at the bottom of a well, Yelang is arrogant!

Seeing that Xiao Qi didn't reply, Chief Qiao knew that he was still thinking. Didn't bother either.

After a while, Xiao Qi said lightly, "Well, Stephen, I don't think it should be so complicated and unfeeling... In this way, we can try to charge for the app. The annual fee is, for example, 168 US dollars. It is not a small burden to pay the annual fee of 168 US dollars for those program developers who cannot make money, so it will definitely be automatically deleted at that time."

"Hahaha……"

Leader Qiao laughed and exclaimed: "Xiao Qi, you are really a profiteer through and through! This is a good way! We can not only increase our income, but also drive back those developers who don't know the heights of heaven and earth, and streamline expenses! It is indeed better than My idea is better! But you are asking for more money than I thought, I originally thought that $99 would be enough!"

Xiao Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Then, for specific matters, let the App Store complete the regulations themselves. They have experience in this area. Wait until their plans are presented and our tripartite confirmation is complete. put into action."

"Okay!" Qiao Gangzhu said casually, "Actually, you don't need to tell Li Jianxi, we can just make an appointment. This guy's head is still in the middle ages, and he is not as good as you!"

The young man couldn't laugh or cry, they all said that the leader of Qiao's gang was Qiao Dapao, and he really deserved his reputation. While belittling Li Jianxi, he also belittled Xiao Qi.

People like Gangzhu Qiao really can’t use shares to restrain him. He never thought that Xiao Qi’s shares in the app store are much higher than his. Anyway, if you have an opinion, just say it. No, he won't be silent, but will strongly oppose it.

Because he is a real genius with strong courage and charisma, otherwise there would not be so many people supporting him in Apple—you know, Gangzhu Qiao’s shares in Apple are less than 1%! Any of those major shareholders could kill him instantly, but none of them dared to jump out and say that Joe's leader was wrong.

So, as long as you have the ability, as long as you can succeed, you will be a strong person everywhere, and any shares are secondary.

After saying a few more words, Xiao Qi finally hung up the phone.

The beauty and wife, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, kept kissing Xiao Qi's ear with her little tongue, which made the boy feel hot all over.

Sitting up a little bit straighter, Xiao Qi bent over and stretched out his hand, and slapped her upturned plump with a "slap".

"Okay, you little fairy, it seems that I haven't dealt with you severely for a long time, is it itchy again?" Xiao Qi's voice was full of justice, "Turn around, I will punish you well !” (To be continued..)
