MTL - Rebirth Starts at 7 Million-Chapter 158 Mobile phone preinstalled
After Wang Libin left, Luo Fan contacted Mr. Lei and told him about it.
After listening to Mr. Lei, he was not surprised by the Penguin Financing Star Chat.
Penguin has always been like this, he doesn't take it at all. It's like making a game. If you can buy it, buy it, and if you can't buy it, copy it.
"Mr. Luo, what do you think?"
"Give him some shares! This can reduce the Penguin's defense against our Star Chat to some extent, and can also exchange a lot of money for the development of Star Chat." Luo Fan said.
"Is Xingyuan short of money now? As far as I know, your Toutiao has tens of millions of advertising revenue every month. The idea of this mobile portal website shocked a lot of people's jaws." Mr. Lei teased a little. said.
"Mr. Lei, you don't know. I just bought a piece of land to build the company's headquarters. It costs about 1 billion yuan. Money is very tight."
"Repair the company headquarters? Why do you want to repair the company headquarters so early?"
"It's not too early, I think now is the time."
After a moment of silence, Mr. Lei said, "Let's do it! I'll come tomorrow, and then let's chat with the people at Penguin."
Mr. Lei also came the next day, and the three parties met in the conference room at 10:00 in the morning.
The requirements of Penguin are very simple. Their main goal is that Star Chat has tested mature technologies. As for the 30% stake, it can actually be reduced.
And Mr. Lei and Luo Fan both want to gain more time for the development of Star Chat, at least they can't let Penguin's social software have a shake and a circle of friends as soon as it goes online.
So the two sides started negotiations around this point.
This talk is a whole day.
In the end, an agreement was reached, and Penguin spent 400 million to buy 20% of the shares of Xingchao, and Xingchao needed to share with Penguin the shaking technology of Xingchao.
After the two parties signed the agreement, Xing Liao's equity became 44% of Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd., 36% of rice, and 20% of Penguin.
After the agreement was signed, the three parties had dinner together.
The next day, Mr. Lei came to Luo Fan's company again.
"Mr. Luo, did you agree to share the related technology of Shake to Penguin yesterday, did you have any other ideas?"
"Well, our company already has the direction of Xingchao's next upgrade. This is the plan." Luo Fan handed the folder on the table to Mr. Lei.
Mr. Lei's eyes lit up after reading it: "This time, even if the new social software launched by Penguin is shaken, it will not have much impact on Xingchao."
Rowan smiled and nodded.
Before I knew it, more than half a month passed, and the time came to November 1, 2010.
The 1st of every month is a regular meeting of Xingyuan, where the high-level executives of Xingyuan gather in the conference room.
As usual, Gao Meng released this month's financial statements as ppt.
Except for the purchase of land this month, Xingyuan's various financial reports are basically stable.
Xiaopozhan barely maintains a balance of payments, and some online stores that are lacking can be subsidized.
The income from the game is enough to maintain the company's operations.
Daily Toutiao's advertising revenue in October exceeded 80 million yuan, and according to this trend, it should be able to exceed 100 million yuan by January to February next year.
Daily Toutiao was able to achieve this result, as Mr. Lei said before, and he was shocked.
To be honest, in the eyes of most people, the mobile Internet field is now just a child playing a house and making small troubles. The reason why a large number of Internet giants do not pay attention to the mobile phone market.
In the eyes of these people, the mobile phone will not replace the computer as the center of the Internet.
They also don't have much confidence in advertising on mobile phones, because the screen of mobile phones is so small, how to advertise? How to monetize traffic?
And if you leave the wifi, the mobile phone will become scrap metal. The mobile phone cannot access the Internet anytime, anywhere. When you go home, you will have a computer. What is the meaning of the existence of the mobile phone?
For these reasons, even Taobao’s mobile APP was launched in 2013. Although Baidu has an APP, it does not pay much attention to it. In comparison, only Penguin pays more attention to the mobile terminal.
But the focus of Penguin is not on the mobile terminal, but on online games.
Therefore, the sudden emergence of Daily Toutiao surprised many people in the industry.
But even so, the Internet giants still did not have much interest in the mobile Internet, because the daily advertising revenue of Toutiao for a month is not even comparable to the amount of krypton gold that CF engages in a day's activities. Why does this size make the Internet giants pay attention to it? ?
Luo Fan doesn't care about it either. They don't pay attention to it. Isn't that the opportunity for Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd. to make a fortune?
"Boss, in recent months, all kinds of smart phones have appeared on the market, and many apps have been pre-installed on mobile phones. Should we follow the example and buy some pre-installed mobile phones?"
Wang Jing's words interrupted Luo Fan's thoughts.
The phone was pre-installed, and it basically disappeared before Luo Fan was reborn.
In the final analysis, the competition in the mobile phone market is too fierce. In order not to offend users, mobile phone manufacturers have given up such low-return and annoying methods.
But it is still 2010. Except for giants like Samsung and Apple, other smartphone companies are desperately grabbing the market. Whether it is a brand phone or a copycat phone, there are all kinds of low-cost customized phones on the market, and advertising phones are flying all over the sky. .
This is the type of mobile phone that is sent to the mobile phone for charging calls.
In order to obtain as much profit as possible, many mobile phone companies will cooperate with APP software companies to install these software when the mobile phone leaves the factory.
In doing so, it seems that the mobile phone company and the APP software company have a win-win situation, and only the users are injured.
But in fact, the pre-installed software is basically impossible to delete, and the mobile phone that is willing to accept the pre-installed software will naturally not be the flagship high-end model of the brand.
The operating memory of this type of mobile phone itself is very low, and there are still a lot of software that cannot be deleted. After I see these software, I will uninstall it without thinking about it.
It's also a huge blow to software developers.
But any software development company that values the future will choose carefully whether to do so or not.
Luo Fan remembered that the first music company he went to in his previous life wanted to do this kind of pre-installation, and he even sent someone to inquire about the price.
The factory-installed software seems to be divided into two types, one is the type that cannot be deleted, and the fee is about 3-4 yuan per mobile phone.
The other is to only install it, but the user can remove it at any time, which only costs a few cents.
The latter mobile phone companies are basically open to all who come, as much as they want. This wave of mobile phone manufacturers will directly make money.
To sum up, in the end, only mobile phone manufacturers, especially those with junk copycat phones, will actually make a profit in the end.
