Chapter 2156 Complicated Behind the Scenes
However, no matter how you say it, since the sales of mobile phones in the Android Alliance have continued to increase, the voices of developers united to change the exclusive rights have become louder and louder. ~Apex Fiction,
The power of the crowd is great.
After Sony Ericsson released the st38 mobile phone last year, almost 90% of the developer teams and companies sent representatives to negotiate with the app store after collective discussions. Although the goal was not achieved for a while, the intensive negotiations every half a month, It still made Xiao Qi, Qiao Gangzhu and Li Jianxi feel the pressure.
Although there is a contract that can suppress them, no matter whether it is the East or the West, no matter whether it is ancient or modern, it is impossible to handle things so strictly.
In the case of similar strengths, it is the most correct way for the negotiating parties to discuss and compromise with each other.
It is precisely because of this that Qiao Gangzhu and Li Jianxi finally agreed to a compromise when Xiao Qi proposed to "open the exclusive authority and change the distribution plan".
But Gang Leader Qiao is not so easy to mess with. Originally, Xiao Qi wanted to share 50/50, but he insisted on taking 10% more profits from the app store in the first year. Li Jianxi naturally agreed with him.
Developer representatives think this contract is too deceitful. Originally, all games and programs are the most profitable in the first year. If you increase the proportion of the most profitable time, then what else do we earn?
When the two sides were at a stalemate, and finally during the patent litigation, when Fairy Company was negotiating with the Android Alliance, the Android Alliance got the news and stepped in, saying that the 10% was subsidized by us, and this was a happy ending.
Of course, the Android Alliance is not a fool, foolishly giving money for others.
But among the three parties in this negotiation, they most hope that the negotiation will be successful, and hundreds of thousands of apps can be directly entered into the Android mall. This will bring them great benefits, and even push more small and medium-sized manufacturers to use the Android system and join their Android camp. This is why everyone saw this morning, the announcement about the opening of exclusive permissions for the app store. That's why Xiao Qi's Fairy Guardian can be sold in both the app store and the Android store. In addition to Fairy Guardian, there are many other programs, such as WeChat, another game of Fairy Company "Exploding Bird"... etc. More than 70% of the app store developer teams have chosen to accept the terms of sharing , entered the Android store. The remaining 30% are not unwilling, but they feel that the number of users in the Android store is too small. For such a small number of users, it is not worth losing 20% of the revenue, so they decided to wait for another year or a half, and only joined after seeing that the Android Alliance had more than 200 million users. As a recent flagship product of Fairy Company, Fairy Guardian has not only entered the homepages of app stores in many countries, but also appeared on the homepages of Android stores in many countries. With such a good eyeball effect, naturally it can't be because of Xiao Qi's big face. But Fairy Company paid for it! Half of the app store's homepage and category recommendation positions are determined by user ratings, downloads, and purchase indexes. The other half is the advertising space sold by the app store, which is a means of generating revenue for the app store. Fairy Guardian has no user accumulation, and has not yet been evaluated by users, so how could it be so casually listed on the homepage? Even if Xiao Qi is the largest shareholder of the app store and the absolute controlling shareholder, he wouldn't ruin his reputation like this. So everything follows the specified rules. If Fairy Guardian wants to be recommended on the homepages of major countries, he can only pay a huge fee of tens of millions of dollars a month. That's actually pretty good. Most of the fees Xiao Qi paid went back to his own pocket, but he respected the rules because of this, whether it is Apple or Samsung in the future. Or other follow-up shareholders will abide by the rules and make the app store better, instead of taking advantage of you and I will take advantage of it, and you will get a little bit and I will get a little bit... Many partnership companies in Huaguo have collapsed like this . The same is true in the Android mall, and the fairy guard still paid a price to be able to get on the homepage. It's just that the Android mall is not strong, and advertising is very cheap now, only one-eighth of the price of the app store. Fairy Company's products have always been very popular with everyone. The saying "produced by Fairy Company must be a high-quality product" has a market all over the world. Seeing that this fairy guard, which claims to "protect your mobile phone and funds from harm", has a one-month free trial period, and more than 7 million users downloaded it on the day it was released. It didn't take long, and there were already many comments from experts on the forum. "What I'm most worried about is that the fairy guard takes up too much of my memory. You also know how bad the Nokia n80's memory is. But after I installed it, I ran a few software that I often run, and found that it has a significant impact on the running speed. The impact is only about 20%. I believe that if the fairy guard is used on stars, the impact must be negligible!" "Using the two functions of virus scanning and garbage cleaning, I found that my fairy system is very good, there is almost no garbage, and there are no hidden viruses. However, after installing such protection and antivirus software, it is very important for my future online shopping. As well as Internet security, it should be another guarantee! Compared to possible losses, I don’t think it’s a big deal even if I have to charge next month.” "Hey, I hate those harassing calls to death, I wish I could block them all. Now that Fairy Guardian is installed, I can set how to filter these harassing calls and spam text messages. It's great!" "I like Fairy Guard's one-click memory cleaning, which can make the phone run much faster. I use dream stars. After installing Fairy Guard, I used the real-time monitoring function and went to phishing websites. After shopping, the police immediately blocked the access, very powerful function!" "I also use it very well, but I heard that the base price of Fairy Guardian's annual usage fee is 12 US dollars. With our super high tax rate in Germany, it costs at least 20 US dollars a year, which is a bit expensive!" "What is $20 worth? Last month, my Sony Ericsson mobile phone was invaded by a Trojan horse software, and I lost more than $300 in bank deposits. Isn't this equivalent to more than ten years of expenses? If you are not afraid of your personal * *It is leaked and attacked by Trojan horse software, so it’s okay to be so stingy!” "..." A group of people were talking about it, which made Fairy Guardian even more popular. It even went directly to the homepage of the download rankings in 28 countries, and there was an advertisement for free. The reason is that in terms of mobile phone security, mobile phone manufacturers have not done enough. Now is the Internet era of mobile phones, tablet computers, etc. The greatest use of smart phones and tablet computers is to connect to the Internet and become a mobile smart terminal to use. That’s all for Fairy Company, Apple, and Samsung. They all use their own closed systems. In addition, all apps need to be verified by the app store before they can be downloaded and purchased, which guarantees safety. But the Android system is different. It is an open platform, which means that as long as the software has a download link, the software can be downloaded to the Android phone without any review. In this way, it is the same as the computer Trojan horse virus on the Internet. Those hackers can use the same method to send the virus to the user's mobile phone, thereby stealing the user's personal information, ID and bank card by various means. Passwords, etc., plundered the user's wealth without anyone noticing. Such things do not happen in the future. In fact, in 2008, there were more than 100,000 incidents caused by mobile phone security. Although the overall number is not a lot, it is enough to attract people's attention. People of insight naturally exist. For example, Kaspersky, Xiaohongsan and other software have already begun to work on how to make security software for mobile phones. But they are at most in the process of brewing, and there is no project at all. Fairy Company has Xiao Qi, who has insight into the future, so he can take the lead and directly occupy this huge market. People have a preconceived habit. Once they get used to using Fairy Guard, it seems a bit reluctant to ask them to change to other software. Needless to say, Fairy Guardian can occupy 30% of the smart electronics market, which is enough to make a lot of money and become another blockbuster product of Fairy Company. Of course, there is one thing to pay attention to. That is the anti-virus protection software such as 360 guards, Baidu guards, etc. in the future, but they will be released for free. If fairy guards want to use fees to occupy the market, they must have higher technical capabilities and means than them. Only by being far ahead of free products in various technologies can we gain the loyalty of users! (To be continued..) ps: The stock market has been really ups and downs these days, do you guys make money?
