American Fortune Life

Andy is already mentally prepared for the dilemma of double competition that he will face next. There is no way to do this kind of thing. If it is going to rain, he can only open his umbrella one step earlier so as not to get wet .

Regarding Apple's overbearing, Andy already has a plan to contain and restrict it, because the cost of implementing this plan is too high and requires a large amount of funds, so he needs to acquire a bank of his own as a pool of funds, Even with Yingtai Bank, he will need to drag in another large bank to back him up.

On the contrary, Google, which has always wanted a piece of the pie, is a bit disturbed. This is the same greedy company, and all high-tech industries want to get involved, but its advantages are indeed too obvious. If you want to prevent it from taking freedom If Zhicheng APP Mall is targeted as a competitor, perhaps Andy can only absorb Google as a shareholder, completely cutting off Google's idea of ​​developing an APP sales platform.

Of course, this requires Andy to share some of the benefits. The key to the question is whether this is attractive enough to Google. Otherwise, even if Andy wants to cooperate with others, they may not be willing.

There is no way, it seems that it is time to sell the fat of the Liberty City APP company. Time is tight and the opportunity is rare. It is necessary to speed up the expansion of this IT company. To put it bluntly, it needs to burn money to seize the market.

Burn money!

Andy naturally didn't want to choose to use the money to burn it himself. Isn't there a lot of people outside who want to get involved in his assets?

Well, this time Andy will give these people a chance. He decided to release the news at the banquet after Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference that the Liberty City APP sales platform will conduct its first financing!

Well, it is indeed a bit of a slap in the face of Apple. It is undoubtedly tantamount to a public challenge to release this kind of news at the new product launch conference and the celebration meeting that highlights the Apple developer lineup.

But who cares!

Since I can't beat Apple by myself, let's join the alliance. The IT industry belongs to that kind. The first in the industry has an absolute advantage. After one step ahead, it will lead every step of the way. It is very important to burn money and suppress latecomers. , Squeeze the space of competitors, until the annexation is eliminated, the most successful industry is the most successful and cruel competition.

It perfectly interprets the concept of time equals money.

There is no way to do this. Apple has the ISO system, Google has the Android system, and Andy is just a service provider, a castle in the air without a foundation, and the only way now is to desperately build it up. The higher the better.

The most ideal thing is to be able to bring in Google, so that Andy will have no worries, otherwise he can only squeeze the value of the Liberty City APP mall to death, and then collect money to get out of the golden cicada. After all, the virtual economy, There is no core technology, just puffiness, and puffiness is not really fat!

Now that he wants to understand this truth, Andy will naturally not wait for his advantage to disappear slowly, and then make a dying struggle.

The successful experience since time travel, through successful acquisitions one after another, in addition to cultivating his own decisiveness and ruthlessness, the huge wealth also gave him a lot of confidence, the confidence to fight against opponents in the end, and he can pay for it Emboldened!

"Hey, I just don't know if you can afford to lose!" Sitting in the car, leaving from Manhattan's Kennedy Airport, Andy, who went straight to Gaia Corporation on Wall Street, muttered with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Having received a call, Alvitre, who convened members of the think tank, has started a brainstorming session on the many problems faced by the Liberty City APP Mall in the conference room.

When Andy appeared in the conference room, Michael Wright, the CEO of Liberty City APP Mall, was already online, and had a video discussion with the think tank for more than half an hour.

During the discussion, Michael Wright showed different views on the plan for the company to raise funds now. In his opinion, the company is only in the early stage of development.

Funding is sufficient and there is no need for financing now.

"Boss, Apple's icrazy software ecology is currently based on the development platform of Web2.0+AJAX. In fact, program developers don't buy it. There are only less than 1,000 applications in the AppStore. Although it is a cross-generational product, it still has many shortcomings, and the market..."

Hearing Michael Wright's contempt for Apple's AppStore, Andy couldn't help but frown slightly. It seems that the temporary dominance of the market and huge profits made Michael a little bit smug.

"So far, how much has the Liberty City APP Mall paid to developers?"

"$800 million . . . total sales of $1.2 billion, and our profit is around $400 million."

The members of the think tank present couldn't help but concentrate their eyes slightly. It was the first time they learned that the Liberty City APP Mall has such a strong ability to absorb money, which is almost comparable to the ability of the Mockingjay Game Company to make money.

Andy cast his eyes on Al, Al nodded slightly, and then heard Michael Wright say: "Boss, I know what you are worried about, maybe Apple's future will be strong, but at least it still needs to see Our looks act.

Boss, I have found all the top ten DU independent developers based on IOS system application software and games, and signed long-term cooperation agreements with them, and increased their share ratio.

Although Apple has closed our in-app purchases, for app developers, we can completely save them from worrying about price crushing, and for users, we also implement the "Try before you buy " way, allowing users to obtain the required functions more precisely and freely.

Boss, I can guarantee that in the next two years, Apple's AppStore will not pose a threat to our mall, unless the performance of Apple's icrazy mobile phones breaks out again, allowing Apple's mobile phones to seize all markets, but, I think, the global Which major mobile phone manufacturers will not make it come true. "

Hearing such confident words from his subordinates, the corners of Andy's mouth couldn't help twitching. There was no superfluous expression on his face, he still kept smiling, but he couldn't help sighing in his heart, damn, Apple is really Turn your impossible into possible.

Punching Nokia, stepping on Motorola, and killing the BlackBerry Millennium. . .

However, it is a good thing to have confidence. As the boss, he will naturally not discourage the enthusiasm of his subordinates. The future is unknown. He can let his subordinates treat him as unfounded worries or plan for a rainy day, but he will never stand up and pretend to be a GUN under his subordinates. , Talk about what’s going to happen in the future, Nima, even now Apple itself has no ambition to subvert and dominate the mobile phone market, and only hopes to be able to cut a small piece of territory among a group of giant mobile phone manufacturers.

"What about Google's Android? What do you think?" Andy asked, looking at Michael Wright on the computer monitor.

"For Google, in the next two or three years, Google will not touch this piece of cheese. At the beginning, they contacted us and other 83 hardware manufacturers, software developers and telecom operators to form the Open Mobile Alliance to jointly develop and improve the Android system. To fight against Apple's iOS system.

Now the reason why Google chooses an open and free strategy is to let the Android camp expand rapidly. It is still in the planting period, and they will not reap it now. . . "

"Have you thought about it, what if Apple shuts down the API excuse?" Andy asked Michael Wright, frowning.

"Unless Apple wants to get into a lawsuit, Apple will never block us in this way of losing both sides, because in-app purchases have made them think they have a big advantage, Apple's board members Absolutely will not let Jobs mess around."

It was Alvitre who spoke this time. It seemed that he also agreed with Michael Wright's point of view. He didn't think that now is the best time to throw out the financing of the Liberty City APP mall, but it was a bit too hasty.

The expression on Andy's face was slightly stagnant, and then he fell into deep thought. Maybe he was really worrying a little bit, so he smiled wryly in his heart. To put it bluntly, it was because he knew how powerful the Apple company would be in the future, and the pressure on him was too great. big.

However, he still has the confidence to touch Apple, so prepare with both hands! Thinking of this, Andy also made a decision.

"Then put aside the financing for the time being, Michael, and continue to increase the intensity of publicity, such as discounts, free for a limited time, consumption lottery, developer contest and other activities to be held continuously, I will take out 5% of the original Shares are put into the equity incentive pool..." 8) For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our reading institute
