Chapter 1090 The bondage brought by the future

Andy is mentally prepared for the dilemma of double competition that he will face next. There is no way to do this. It will rain, so he can only hold an umbrella one step early so that he will not get wet himself.

Regarding Apple's dominance, Andy already has a plan to restrain it. Because the cost of implementing this plan is too high and requires a large amount of funds, he needs to acquire his own bank as a fund pool. Even with Yingtai Bank, he will need to drag a large bank to take over it.

On the contrary, Google, which has always wanted to get a piece of the pie, is a bit annoying. This is an equally greedy company. All high-tech industries want to get involved, but its advantages are indeed too obvious. If you want to prevent it from targeting the Free City app mall as a competitor, perhaps Andy can only absorb Google as a shareholder and completely cut 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 problem 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 throw out the fat piece of Free City App. Time is tight and opportunities are rare. We must speed up the expansion of this IT company. To put it bluntly, we need to burn money to seize the market.

Burn money!

Andy naturally doesn't want to choose to use money to burn it. Isn't there a lot of people outside who want to interfere in his assets?

OK, this time Andy will give these people a chance. He decided to release news at the banquet after Apple's global developer conference that the sales platform of the Free City app will make its first financing!

Well, it is indeed a bit of a slap in the face of Apple. Releasing such news at the celebration of other people's new product launch conferences that highlight the Apple-based developer lineup is undoubtedly equivalent to public challenge.

But who cares!

Since you can't stand the power of yourself, then let's join forces. The IT industry is that the first company in the industry has an absolute advantage. After taking one step, you must take the lead step by step. It is very important to burn money. Suppress latecomers, squeeze the space of competitors, and until you eliminate and embezzle, you can become the most successful and cruel industry.

It perfectly interprets the concept that time equals money.

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

The ideal thing is to bring Google in, so that Andy will have no worries, otherwise he will have to squeeze the value of the Free City app mall to death, and then make money in one stop to escape. After all, the virtual economy has no core technology, it is just a fat man, and a fat man is not really fat man!

Since she figured out this truth, Andy naturally would not wait to wait for her advantage to slowly disappear before struggling to death.

The successful experience since time traveling through time, through successful acquisitions, in addition to cultivating his own decisiveness and ruthlessness, his huge wealth also gives him enough confidence, and he can end up fighting with his opponents and be confident that he can afford to lose money!

"Hehe, I just don't know if you can afford to lose!" Andy, who was sitting in the car, left Manhattan Kennedy Airport and headed straight to the Gaia Company on Wall Street, muttered in a low voice with a sneer.

Alvetle, who had already received a call, had gathered members of the think tank, and had started discussing the many issues facing the Free City app mall, brainstorming.

When Andy appeared in the conference room, EO Michael Wright from the Free City app mall was also online, discussing with the think tank for more than half an hour through video.

During the discussion, Michael Wright showed a different view on the plan to allow the company to finance it now. In his opinion, the company is only in the early stage of development and is sufficiently funded, so there is no need to finance it now.

"Boss, Apple's Ai Ceng software ecosystem is currently established based on web 2.0+ajax development platform. In fact, program developers are not buying it. The applications in the app store are currently less than 1,000. Although Ai Ceng mobile phones are cross-age products, they still have many shortcomings, the market..."

Hearing Michael Wright's words of despising the Apple appstore, Andy couldn't help but frowned slightly. It seemed that the temporary dominance of the market and the generous profits made Michael a little fluttered.

"So far, how much has the Free City app mall paid developers?"

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

The members of the think tank present couldn't help but look slightly. It was the first time they learned that the money-making ability of the Free City app mall was so powerful, which was almost comparable to the money-making ability of the Mockingbird Games Company.

Andy turned his eyes to Al, Al nodded slightly, and then heard Michael Wright say: "Boss, I know what you are worried about. Maybe Apple's future will be very strong, but at least it still needs to act according to our faces now.

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

Although Apple has closed our in-app purchases, our application developers can completely prevent them from worrying about price crushing. For users, they have also implemented the "taste first and buy" method, allowing users to obtain the functions they need more accurately and freely.

Boss, I can guarantee that in the next two years, Apple’s appstore store will not pose a threat to our mall, unless Apple’s Ai Chuang mobile phone machine performance explodes again, allowing Apple phones to seize all markets, but, I think, which major mobile phone manufacturers around the world will not let it do what they want."

Hearing such confident words from his subordinates, Andy couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He didn't show any unnecessary expression on his face, and he still kept smiling lightly, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Damn, Apple really turned what you said into a possibility.

Fighting Nokia, stepping on Motorola, killing Blackberry Millennium...

However, being confident is a good thing. He, the boss, will naturally not slam the enthusiasm of his subordinates. The future is unknown. He can let his subordinates regard him as a worry or plan ahead, but he will never stand up and pretend to be a god with his subordinates and say what will happen in the future. Damn, even Apple itself does not have the ambition to subvert the mobile phone market now, and only hopes to cut a small piece of territory among a group of giant mobile phone manufacturers to develop.

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

"For Google, Google will not touch this piece of cheese in the next two or three years. At that time, they contacted us and 83 other hardware manufacturers, software developers and telecom operators to form an open mobile phone alliance to jointly develop and improve the Android system to fight against Apple's iOS system.

The reason why Google chooses the open and free strategy is to first expand the Android camp quickly. It is still in the planting period, and they will not come to harvest now..."

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

"Unless Apple wants to get involved in a lawsuit, unless it is absolutely necessary, Apple will never use this kind of mutual loss to ban us, because in-app purchases have already made them think they have a great advantage, and Apple's board members will never let Jobs do it."

Alvetre spoke this time, and it seemed that he also agreed with Michael Wright's point of view. He did not think that now was the best time to throw out the Free City app mall to raise funds. Instead, he was a little too hasty.

Andy's expression stuttered slightly, and then he fell into deep thought. Perhaps he was really worried. He smiled bitterly in his heart. To put it bluntly, it was because he knew how powerful Apple would be in the future, and the pressure on him was too great.

However, he was still very confident to meet Apple, so let’s prepare! Thinking of this, Andy also made a decision.
Chapter completed!
