Age of Dreams

The financial crisis has a more or less impact on each industry, but according to the nature of these industries, the damage caused will naturally be large or small.

The last time around 2000, after the Internet bubble crisis broke out, tens of thousands of assets were lost and evaporated, and it also reminded the major Internet giants that they began to wonder why the booming Will the Internet suddenly be destroyed like a collapsed house?

After years of thinking, they discovered that the Internet cannot simply rely on online development, and cannot just hype concepts. It must be down-to-earth, that is, connected to offline, in order to have a promising future.

So Amazon has developed in the past few years, Cisco has developed again through network solutions, and GOOGLE has developed through maps and search engines to link offline life, so it has also developed.

APP STORE has developed smoothly by directly linking every mobile phone user of Samsung, Apple and Fairy Company.

These companies have suffered a lot of damage during the financial crisis, but because they have nothing to do with financial derivatives, let alone the subprime debt crisis, the recovery time is obviously faster than that of the real industry many.

Especially APP STORE, in the first month of the financial crisis, sales fell sharply by 30%, falling into negative sales growth for the first time, and continued to decline by 21% in October, barely a little less, but in the first half of November However, it rose by 23% month-on-month, allowing people to see the strong strength of APP STORE again.

The Wall Street Financial Times devoted three days to sorting out the development process of APP STORE, and also discussed why APP STORE recovered so quickly. This article sparked heated discussions in the global financial community and the smart electronics industry.

In fact, in Xiao Qi’s view, summing up the success of APP STORE is very simple, that is, solid basic skills and continuous innovation.

Many people only see the overnight riches in the online world, but they don't see that the competition in the online industry is actually very cruel.

Once you encounter major setbacks or mistakes. No matter how many billions or tens of billions of companies you have, they will go bankrupt the next day. Faster than the physical industry.

Therefore, if you want to maintain the success of the Internet industry, you need to think about the two points that Xiao Qi summed up.

In particular, continuous innovation is an important factor to attract more and more customers, and it is also an important advantage to retain old customers.

Because of the continuous sales of products from Samsung, Apple and Fairy, the monthly sales of the app store have reached 60 billion US dollars. After deducting all costs, the monthly net profit has reached 3 billion US dollars.

After this number was reported, countless people are salivating on APP STORE.

Although the monthly net profit is only 5%, it can't support the huge scale of the company, and new companies are constantly joining in to create wealth for them.

But in fact, because of the global construction of the APP STORE system layout cloud computing and cloud storage, from December last year to the present, none of the three major shareholders has paid dividends. All put in.

However, neither Xiao Qi, Qiao Gangzhu nor Li Jianxi were dissatisfied with this. Even willing to invest a little more.

Because of the advantages of cloud computing and cloud storage, various programs and games in APP STORE are now available. The network is built in the middle of the user group, allowing users to connect to the network and run the game nearby, which reduces the difficulty of various data transmissions, increases convenience and speed, and makes the processing of games and programs smoother. .

The user experience brought about in this way is not comparable to that of the Android system.

The Android store currently has only about 30 million users, which is not at the same level as the APP STORE's nearly 400 million users.

It's a big one for a reason. It is also because they are lagging far behind in cloud computing and cloud storage.

But GOOGLE can't help it. Nokia and Motorola can't give much support in this regard. With their family alone, how could it be possible to fight against the giant APP STORE?

Not to mention the depression of GOOGLE.

Go back to APP STORE.

At the beginning of November, people with sharp eyes saw a small software called "Meitu Sharing" appeared on the US homepage of APP STORE.

Any software that can be listed on the homepage of APP STORE in various countries is very good, and at least has one very special advantage, otherwise you can’t break the keyboards of those technical geeks with money, and let them recommend it to you against their will.

Looking at the introduction on Meitu, many people downloaded it.

As a result, everyone thinks it is very easy to use, whether it is the processing speed and effect of photos, or the fun of adding text and images, and the convenience of sending to platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, WeChat, etc. All surprisingly good.

Simple, convenient, practical and fun.

With these four characteristics, Meitu sharing has directly spread among young people in the United States.

In a week, Meitu Sharing was withdrawn from the homepage, but relying on its strong strength, it directly rushed to the top ten of the free app download rankings for the week, and it was barely on the homepage.

Now it's terrible!

You know, the top ten free programs are all super giants such as WeChat, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Before, there were very few new applications that could rush directly to them, let alone spend only for a week.

The APP STORE in the United States is very representative. Usually, when users in other European and American countries cannot find good applications and programs in their own APP STORE, they will come here to look for interesting ones, and then Then go back to your own country to download.

Seeing the rapid sharing of Meitu, everyone became interested.

Therefore, with such a demonstration effect, Meitu Sharing soon reached the top in the UK, Australia, Germany, Italy and other countries, and directly rushed to the top of the homepage recommendation and homepage download rankings.

By November 15th, the number of downloads and users of Meitu Sharing has exceeded 8 million, and it has become another cool software that is popular in the world!

Many experts are predicting that the expansion of Meitu Sharing will be very rapid, and it is expected to reach the goal of 20 million users within this year!

Although it is free software, as long as there are users, it is valuable, regardless of advertising value or investment value!

Obviously, Meitu sharing has become so popular!

Then it was also revealed that Meitu Sharing is a small software company in Hong Kong, the name is Meitu Sharing, and this immediately made Meitu Sharing become famous overnight!

Hong Kong people have received very little good news recently, that is, Xiao Qi's investment in Wharf has made the stock market trend slightly better.

This local emergence of an important photo-sharing software that has swept the world has never appeared before.

Now it suddenly attracted the attention of the whole world, and immediately ignited the enthusiasm of gossip reporters for Meitu sharing company.

Now that Hong Kong is in a slump, what is needed is something exciting!

Gloucester Road is close to the business district of Victoria Park. The entrance of an ordinary business building is now full of reporters.

In particular, the TVB reporters, who were greeted by the general manager, must analyze and publicize this matter in an all-round way, so that the group of founders of Meitu Sharing will become household stars in Hong Kong.

So from TVB alone, an interview and production team of more than 30 people came. If the business building hadn't taken precautions earlier, they would have rushed inside to find people from Meitu Sharing Company.

"Come out, come out!"

Watching a few young people come out, dozens of reporters swarmed up, wishing to put the microphone directly into their mouths.

"Mr. Feng, do you have any thoughts on the success of Meitu Sharing?"

"You developed the Meitu sharing software before, did you ever think that it would become popular all over the world?"

"I heard that Meitu Sharing Company is valued at US$100 million by JPMorgan Chase, and plans to invest US$30 million to take a 30% stake. Is there such a thing?"

"The Hong Kong general manager of Citibank said in an interview that Meitu will implement the most potential company-level loan treatment. What do you think of this?"

"Meitu Sharing was originally worth a few million dollars, but now it has grown to a valuation of hundreds of millions of dollars by leaps and bounds. How do you plan to develop the company in the future?"

"..."

Hearing the commotion of these people, Feng Kelun with a smile on his face pressed down with his hand, and the sparrow immediately disappeared, and they all waited anxiously for Feng Kelun to speak.

"First, the future goal of Meitu Sharing is 100 million users, so we have a long way to go, and we will not relax on this. Second, Meitu Sharing has accepted a capital injection of 300 million US dollars from Mr. Xiao Qi, the president of Xiannv Company. Now there is no shortage of funds, and it has the most sufficient funds for development. Third, Meitu Sharing is currently expanding rapidly, and I look forward to all the electronic technology talents in Hong Kong joining my team, so that we can achieve success together!"

"Wow..."

"Mr. Feng..."

Hearing these revelations, the reporters immediately turned into sparrows again, chirping and asking questions.

Feng Kelun refused to answer this time, and walked out with others.

But his vigorous and handsome face walked into thousands of households along with the TV screen.

...

"boom!"

In an ordinary apartment, a girl stared dumbfounded at Feng Kelun on the TV. She didn't even care about dropping her water glass on the floor, her heart was full of bitter regret. (to be continued ~^~)
