Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

"Ah, signing a contract?"

Xiao Jun was a little confused.

He had just been prepared for Huanyu Technology's counter-offer, but this was not the case.

"Mr. Xiao, are you unwilling?"

"No, it's not...Mr. Chen, you misunderstood."

Xiao Jun shook his head quickly: "I just didn't expect that Mr. Chen would agree so happily."

"Haha, are you thinking, will I pay you back?"

Chen Yu saw what Xiao Jun was thinking, and Xiao Jun also smiled awkwardly.

"Mr. Xiao, I think AutoNavi has a very promising future. If it weren't for the current market reasons, let alone a valuation of 400 million, I would be willing to invest even at 4 billion."

"Four billion?"

Xiao Jun secretly clicked his tongue.

Even the world's top navigation company is not worth this price.

However, Chen Yu was so optimistic about their virtues, so Xiao Jun was unwilling: "Mr. Chen, let's talk about the shares."

"OK."

Chen Yu nodded: "This time we invest, I hope Huanyu Technology will hold 30% of the shares."

According to Huanyu Technology’s previous investment ideas, Huanyu Technology generally held 51% of the shares.

But as the platform grows larger and the entire ecosystem becomes more and more complete, Huanyu Technology no longer has much idea about holding shares.

30% of the shares is neither too much nor too little.

Although it does not reach the level of controlling interest, it still has a heavy weight of speech.

The most important thing is that 30% of the shares can be used to advance, retreat or defend.

They can add more if needed.

If something is wrong, the loss of withdrawal will not be too great.

At the same time, Chen Yu also considered that for many startup company managers, they are more willing to accept such a 30% shareholding.

After all, with such a big thick leg, and they don’t want a controlling stake, who wouldn’t?

Xiao Jun agreed without much thought.

The next day, Huanyu Technology signed a formal investment agreement with Amap Navigation.

Huanyu Technology invested 120 million, accounting for 30% of the shares.

"Mr. Xiao, it's a pleasure to work with you."

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Wu, happy cooperation."

The two parties signed the contract and toasted to celebrate.

At this time, Chen Yu said: "Mr. Xiao, since we, Huanyu Technology, have become one of the shareholders of AutoNavi, we would like to ask where AutoNavi is planning to develop in the future?"

"Mr. Chen, this is what I think."

Although they have received investment from Huanyu Technology, Xiao Jun also knows that they still have to maintain the relationship with their major shareholder Huanyu Technology.

Although he is still in charge of AutoNavi at this time, in response to Chen Yu's inquiry, Xiao Jun still said: "In the early stage, we are preparing to expand the influence of AutoNavi through Super Pear. In the middle and later stages, we will increase our focus on car navigation." .”

"Does car navigation mean cooperation with major car manufacturers?"

"This is the main thing. Of course, we will also cooperate with various auto parts manufacturers."

"This business is too single, and this profit model alone will not last long."

Chen Yu shook his head and did not agree with Xiao Jun's model.

"Mr. Chen, navigation itself is different from other applications, and the profit is indeed relatively simple."

"I know, but I think AutoNavi should pay more attention to the development of mobile navigation, rather than focusing on the car manufacturers as its most important business."

"Mr. Chen, although mobile phone navigation is okay, the market is not big after all."

"It's not big now, but it will be in the future. If everyone has a smartphone in the future, the market will be big."

"That's it, but the reason why our Amap navigation has performed well recently is because it is free. Once it is charged, mobile phone users may not use our navigation very much. But if it remains free, we will not make any money. .”

"Mr. Xiao, although Amap Navigation is free, it does not mean that it cannot make money."

While talking, Chen Yu also used their games as a reference: "If you think about a series of free games in the market, the games look free, but they cost more than paid games."

"Mr. Chen, I know something about this, but navigation is different from online games after all."

"Actually, it's the same."

Navigation is not an online game, nor is it any other application.

But since it wants to connect to the Internet and data, it is actually not much different from most Internet applications.

"Please give me some advice, Mr. Chen."

"Everyone discussed with each other whether to give guidance or not. I'm actually not familiar with navigation."

"Mr. Chen, you are being humble. If you are not familiar with navigation, then no one is."

Speaking of this, Chen Yu said directly: "I have a few suggestions. The first suggestion is that we can charge advertising fees."

"This should be fine."

Xiao Jun nodded.

If you install more apps, you can naturally charge a certain amount of advertising fees.

But such advertising fees are not much, and simply collecting advertising fees cannot support Gaode.

"Of course, advertising fees are only secondary. The second profit point is that we can cooperate with major companies. For example, if a user goes to a certain place through navigation, we can recommend nearby hotels and restaurants to the user. For mobile phone users, we We don’t charge money, but we do charge money for corporate users. This is one of the reasons. If we become bigger and go further, we can charge a map booth fee in any store.”

The so-called stall fee is to mark your store location on AutoNavi.

Otherwise, you will not be able to search for the location of your store through Amap navigation.

If you cooperate with navigation, then when you search for a store, navigation can automatically take you directly to the location you want to reach.

Of course, this charge is not expensive.

Depending on the size of the store, it can usually be done for a few hundred yuan.

Don’t underestimate these few hundred dollars.

There are so many stores in a city, and each one charges a few hundred yuan, which can easily cost hundreds or tens of millions in a city.

China is so big, the stall fee alone is a huge profit.

"Stall fee, Mr. Chen, your idea is great, but are the store owners willing to pay the stall fee?"

"So it depends on how far our Amap Navigation can go. If everyone uses Amap Navigation by then, and no one can find the location without Amap Navigation, then they will definitely pay."

"This model is good."

Such a model not only creates a new profit model, but it also seems to be more promising than cooperating with automobile manufacturers. Once this model is completed, then Amap will definitely be able to monopolize the entire market.

"Of course, there are others. Cooperating with some other lifestyle applications can also generate a lot of expenses.\

,""Living expense application, Mr. Chen, what exactly does it refer to?"

"This... I can't tell for the time being. We will know when these applications appear."

It's not that Chen Yu can't say for sure, but that smartphones haven't developed to that point yet.

Naturally, lifestyle applications such as taxi-hailing, Meituan, Ele.me, shared bicycles... have not yet appeared.

Once smartphones develop to a certain level, these applications will naturally emerge.

Xiao Jun benefited a lot from having a good chat with Chen Yu.

He had previously only adhered to the model of cooperation with car manufacturers for navigation.

Because only in this way can profits be guaranteed.

But when Chen Yu looked through the instructions, he suddenly discovered that there was such a way to navigate.

This also made Xiao Jun feel a little excited.

He only wanted to make some money by doing navigation before, and never thought about how to monopolize this market.

Because he cannot have a monopoly.

The navigation software used by major automobile manufacturers is different. No matter how powerful you are, you cannot get all automobile manufacturers to adopt your navigation software.

But if they rely on smartphone applications, they can make Amap Navigation the most popular navigation application.

So, online, offline... they AutoNavi will dominate the entire market.

not only.

Even with navigation, they seem to be able to go further and enter other fields.

As for what this field is, Xiao Jun is not sure yet.

However, Xiao Jun believes that he will think clearly about it in the future.

"Mr. Chen, your suggestion is very good. I will study it carefully when I get back."

Xiao Jun said with admiration in his heart.

No wonder Huanyu Technology can become such a terrifying size.

Not to mention anything else, just the vision and thoughts are completely transcendent from others.

Just like navigation.

It relies on his offline automobile manufacturer cooperation model.

If Huanyu Technology did it on its own, it would turn them into scum in minutes.

This also made Xiao Jun secretly happy.

Fortunately, they chose to cooperate with Huanyu Technology. If they had accepted investment from other venture capital companies, they probably wouldn't have this name in a few years.

"Mr. Xiao, I just said it casually. The specific operation here depends on you, Mr. Xiao."

"Mr. Chen, no matter how humble you are, I am embarrassed to talk to you."

With excitement, Xiao Jun left Huanyu Technology.

…

"Zou Tao, how is our beauty software doing?"

"Mr. Chen, 90% is completed."

"So fast?"

"What does this mean? We don't care about large-scale online games, let alone small apps."

"Oh, is it so?"

"Mr. Chen, why don't I show it to you?"

After signing the contract with Amap, Chen Yu went to the Huanyu Technology Game Department again.

The reason why I came so diligently is entirely due to the emergence of the Amap navigation application app.

Chen Yu did not expect that an Amap navigation app would suddenly stimulate users’ consumption potential for super pears.

Although super pears have been selling very well before, the price of 5,999 is still there.

But after Gaode navigated it out, he actually made some people who had not thought much about Super Pears become interested in buying them.

have to say.

The improvement of the application ecosystem plays a decisive role in smartphones.

AMAP Navigation is like this. Just imagine, a beauty camera that is used more frequently?

When such a killer app is born, what kind of craziness will it bring?

"Mr. Chen, let me take a picture for you."

Although the beauty camera app is not completely ready yet, some basic functions are already available.

Zou Tao picked up the super pear very excitedly and prepared to take a photo of Chen Yu.

Moreover, while filming, Zou Tao was still mumbling something.

"Turn on filters."

"Turn on the beauty."

"Open the slim face."

"Come on, smile... Ka..."

A photo was born.

"Damn it, this is a male god."

Staring at the photos inside Super Pear, Zou Tao couldn't help but scream.

"Young man, let me take a look."

Chen Yu took the phone.

I only saw an extremely handsome guy appear on the phone.

Of course this is Chen Yu himself.

Although Chen Yu is pretty good-looking, compared to the one in the beauty camera, it is far behind.

Not only is my face pale, but my entire face seems to have become thinner.

"Zou Tao, it's okay."

Chen Yu checked and found that beautification, face slimming, filters and other functions have been added.

"Yes, yes, I just asked you to beautify your face before, but I didn't expect you to have so many functions."

"What's the point? If it wasn't a matter of time, I would have planned to add the function of lengthening my legs."

"You can have this."

Chen Yu nodded.

Unexpectedly, Zou Tao had such a thorough understanding of beauty applications.

"No, Zou Tao, how did you come up with these functions?"

Chen Yu felt a little strange and stared at Zou Tao.

"Mr. Chen, what are you looking at me for?"

"I'm thinking you didn't come up with these features by correcting your own photos."

"How can it be."

"How is it impossible? Look at you, you have a pimple mark on your face, and you look like a CEO. Hahaha, you also have a big face, and your legs are short and thick... I'm sure, you definitely made it the way you look. of."

The more he talked, the more Chen Yu felt it was possible.

Otherwise, where did Zou Tao get his talent?

"Mr. Chen, don't speak so loudly, there's nothing I can do about it."

"Okay, I'm just kidding. You can think of these functions. They're great. When will they be officially launched?"

"It can be done in a week at the slowest and in three days at the fastest."

The beauty camera app itself is not a complicated application, not to mention that Zou Tao and his online game team are full of talented people.

Hundreds of developers successfully developed it in a few clicks.

During this period of time, we have been constantly optimizing data.

"Okay, let's see how your data looks like then."

"Mr. Chen, don't worry, our app will definitely become Super Pear's most popular app when it comes out."

"So sure?"

"That is."

"Okay, I'll wait."

…

"Can't you be faster?"

"Super Pear is not copying us. Is it really that difficult for you to make a mobile phone that is the same as Super Pear?"

"If we delay any longer, we at Nokia will be looked down upon by many consumers."

Nokia global president Suri is very depressed.

It's not just Microsoft, Samsung, and Google that are depressed... They want to steal their mobile operating system market.

More importantly, he discovered that the sales of Super Pears were somewhat out of control.

In particular, the emergence of an application called Amap Navigation is like a trap for Super Pear.

This made Su Li angry and anxious.

What makes me angry is that the sales volume of Super Pear has somewhat deviated from their Nokia judgment.

Urgently.

Suri wonders if they can catch up with Super Pear when their touch version of the smartphone comes out.

"3000000."

This is the sales data of Super Pears in the two months since they were launched on the market.

To be precise, it is actually 1 month and 20 days.

In 1 month and 20 days, Super Pear sold 3 million units worldwide.

If we take the total volume as an example, such a total volume is naturally inferior to that of Nokia.

At its peak, Nokia sold over 400 million mobile phones a year.

But if we take the sales volume of a single product as an example, the sales speed of Super Pear has already reached the top 3 in the world.

As for why it is not ranked first, it is mainly because of the price of 5999.

Among the two in front of Super Pear, one costs 500 yuan and the other only costs 300 yuan.

"fine."

Su Li sighed.

Although the current sales of Super Pear are terrible, Nokia can hold on for the time being.

But what Su Li didn't expect was.

After Super Pear hit a sales figure of 3 million units, Super Pear's sales suddenly experienced another blowout.

"3.5 million units."

"Four million units."

"4.5 million units."

"5 million units."

From 0 to 3 million units, Huanyu Technology took 1 month and 20 days.

However, it only took Huanyu Technology half a month to go from 3 million units to 5 million units.

In half a month, 2 million units were sold.

If this is a mobile phone costing several hundred yuan, this is understandable.

Anyway, the price is low, no matter how much he sells, he can understand it. Even if he sells more, he doesn't make much money.

But what is the price of Super Pears?

5999.

Industry insiders said that with Super Pear’s pricing, Huanyu Technology could earn at least 40% or more.

In other words, for one mobile phone, Huanyu Technology earns 2,400 yuan.

2,400 yuan. Before this, many mobile phones did not dare to sell at a price of 2,400 yuan.

But now, Huanyu Technology earns 2,400 yuan for a single mobile phone, which is simply a money grab.

However, it is not time to lament that Huanyu Technology is making money.

What they hope most is to find out what caused the super pears to blow out.

"Mr. Su Li, maybe a super app has been launched on the Super Pear App Store?"

"Really, like Gaode Navigation?"

"Yes, almost."

"But it's impossible."

Su Li shook his head.

Although he understands that super apps can indeed play a promotional role for hardware.

But looking at AutoNavi, his appearance will only increase the sales of Super Pear by hundreds of thousands of units at most.

But look now, the sales speed of Huanyu Technology Super Pear is almost twice the original sales speed.

And, he seemed to be accelerating.

"Check again."

Su Li looked extremely nervous.

If it were the previous sales data of Super Pear selling 3 million units in a month and 20 days, Nokia would still be able to hold on.

But now with figures like 2 million units sold in half a month, Su Li already feels like he can't hold on any longer.

certainly.

Not only Nokia, represented by Suri, cannot stand it.

Samsung, Sony, Motorola, Ericsson, Siemens...these major global mobile phone manufacturers can't hold on.

2 million units were sold in half a month.

This is no longer as simple as horror.

If Super Pear continues to sell like this, they are afraid that after a while, users will not know that there are still mobile phone giants like them.

And now they have seriously felt the threat from Huanyu Technology.

"Beauty Camera."

"It should be the impact of this super app."

finally.

After searching, they found the answer.

That's right.

It is a super app called "Beauty Camera".

Although some of them can't believe it, it is the impact of this super application.

As soon as this app was put on the shelves, almost all users who used Super Pear downloaded this app.

As for what kind of charm he has?

how to say?

Relative to Amap Navigation.

Although Amap Navigation is very good, not all consumers need it.

But for beauty cameras, everyone has this need.

As long as they have used a beauty camera, they will never be able to do without this camera again.

Although they don’t think the beauty camera is that great, it’s like eating and drinking.

Although he is not that great, he is absolutely indispensable.

then.

Soon you will find that there are many more handsome guys and beauties in your circle of friends.

"I haven't posted a photo in decades, so no one recognizes me. I'll post it today."

This is a friend who felt good after using Super Pear and posted a message on WeChat Moments.

"How about going shopping today and looking at this dress?"

This is a person who doesn’t seem to want to expose himself, but uses another way to expose himself.

"I feel very sad. Let's see if I am ugly."

This was posted by a friend who used level 10 beautification to make even ugly photos look brighter.

"Record your life..."
