With the efforts of Yang Fei’s team, the application market of Firefly OS can cover most of the applications on the market.
And there are still certain differences between the Xiaguo market and overseas markets.
Most of these applications in the Xiaguo market are free, and most of them seek the consent of the software company to make up for the software company's revenue in the form of embedded advertising.
There is nothing that can be done about this, after all, Xia State’s market currently only has free soil, not paid soil.
Most software companies (both domestic and foreign) were first moved by Changtian Technology's attitude.
Because for these software companies, the profits from the software they develop in Xia Country are very small - except for enterprise-level customers, most of them are pirated, and ordinary users almost all use pirated software.
But now Changtian Technology takes the initiative to approach them, hoping to obtain the right to use the software and compensate users for the related costs of using the software in the form of advertising.
Moreover, Changtian Technology has also promised to the software company that all advertising revenue generated by the software will belong to the software company. Changtian Technology will not take a dime from the software company, but only provides a platform for the software company.
When most software companies think about it, oh wow! Not bad!
Anyway, if you don’t cooperate with Changtian Technology, you will be pirated, so it’s better to cooperate with Changtian Technology and maybe you can still make some money.
Moreover, Changtian Technology's attitude is very good. They will come to your door to talk to you and formally sign a contract.
Unlike the WIN system, some websites in Xia Guo, regardless of whether the developer of your software agrees or disagrees, first find technical personnel to crack it, and then directly publish it on your own website.
In an era when piracy is rampant, it is quite difficult for software companies to sue for piracy and file claims.
Thanks to the efforts of Changtian Technology, many domestic and foreign software developers have paid attention to Yinghuo OS and are happy to cooperate with Changtian Technology.
Chen Xiao is also looking for ways to continue to promote the commercial version of the Jiuzhang compiler, encourage more Xiaguo computer software developers to develop better software, and make money through the Yinghuo OS platform, and cultivate user payment
Habit.
In Toyo's overseas markets, the application market of Firefly OS is really just a platform.
Whatever software is popular in overseas markets will be listed on the application market.
If this software is free, then the software in the application market will be free. If there is a fee for the software, then the application software will be charged, and all the fees collected will be provided to the software developer. Changtian Technology will not take a dime from it and will only use it as a platform to provide
.
Chen Xiao’s plan is also very clear. We are currently in the sheep-raising stage. Expanding the user base of Yinghuo OS as soon as possible is more important than making money from the application.
Of course, Yinghuo OS can also bring profits to Changtian Technology, but most of the profits are from the advertising revenue of the built-in browser and player.
This time, Toyo Yahoo saw this model of Firefly OS and hoped to spend 300,000 yuan to purchase the top promotion of Firefly OS in the Toyo App Market for one year.
Currently, the number of users of Yinghuo OS in Japan is not large, so the top promotion fee of NT$300,000 is a very good price.
Toyo Yahoo is investing in the future of Firefly OS, not the present.
Yang Fei didn't dare to make the decision and immediately called Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao was inspecting Suzhou and Hangzhou at this time. After learning the news, he said to Yang Fei: "Of course you have to make money, no matter how much, we will talk about it later."
"Our cooperation agreement with Baidu is only limited to the Xiaguo mainland area, and we do not have any cooperation overseas, so there is no conflict between our cooperation with Yahoo."
"We need to keep this 300,000 yuan and promote Yahoo! Dongyang at the top of the application market entry interface."
"This is actually a very good start. No matter how much or how little money we have, we can start with Yahoo! Toyang and slowly explore the logic and methods of using the market to make money."
After Yang Fei received the order, he just wanted to do what Chen Xiao said, no matter how much or how little money he has, he should take this step first.
In the future, when the number of users of Yinghuo OS increases, then Yinghuo OS will definitely be able to make a lot of profits.
But Chen Xiao in Suhang City is still thinking about a problem.
The current largest shareholder of Yahoo! Toyo should be Software Bank (SoftBank), which holds no less than 30% of the shares. The current market value of Toyo Yahoo is approximately 1.5 billion U.S. dollars. The price of the shares held by Softbank boss Sun Yi should be worth 500 million U.S. dollars.
About a rice knife.
Chen Xiao thought that since Yahoo took the initiative to advertise Firefly OS, it meant that SoftBank should be paying attention to Firefly OS.
Although the boss of SoftBank is of South Korean origin, Chen Xiao has to admire his perseverance and investment vision.
Effort determines a person's lower limit, but talent determines a person's upper limit.
Chen Xiao believes that Sun Yi is a very talented and hard-working person.
In 1999, when Ali was first established, Sun Yi invested 20 million yuan in Ali and held a large number of shares. This is enough to illustrate his vision and level.
Chen Xiao believes that the 300,000 yuan given by Yahoo Toyo was not just for advertising, but probably to ask questions.
But Chen Xiao’s current energy is not focused on this.
After the establishment of Tiangong Technology, Changtian Technology was indeed short of funds. However, after accepting advance payments from HP, Dell and other companies, plus the accounts split between Shenchuan and Yuedong Internet, Changtian Technology's financial pressure was relieved to a certain extent.
That is to say, Changtian Technology is currently short of funds, but it is not hungry yet.
In addition, Chen Xiao was reborn and knew SoftBank’s ambitions, so he didn’t want to have much interaction with SoftBank.
So what SoftBank thinks now is actually not important to Changtian Technology.
But now Chen Xiao regrets one thing. In the summer of 1999, he should go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to find Ma Yun and ask him: I have one hundred yuan to invest in you. Do you want me, Chen Xiao, to invest in it?
This was actually just a joke by Chen Xiao. In 1999, Chen Xiao had just been reborn and didn’t even have the money to take a train to Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Wang Xiang called Chen Xiao and said, "Mr. Chen, the leaders here in Suhang are very interested in Changtian Technology's investment and hope to have a chat with us tomorrow."
Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from this, the land acquisition should have been settled.
A few days later, Chen Xiao received another call.
The call was from Yang Fei.
Yang Fei was quite excited and said: "Mr. Chen, someone from Yahoo Xia just came and said that he hopes to be an intermediary and introduce investors from SoftBank Group."
Yang Fei has been in the Internet industry for so long, so of course he knows SoftBank Group and the classic case of SoftBank acquiring Yahoo Toyo.
Chen Xiao's mind was racing rapidly. He had thought that he would get SoftBank's attention, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
What was supposed to come came, and this capital giant took the initiative to come to the door.
