The first thing to bear the brunt is that busybodies in the overseas development community compared sode with xode, which Apple has released for many years.
Mainly because their names are so similar.
Moreover, the competitive relationship between Bolang and Apple can be said to be known to the whole world.
I can't stand this kind of scene if I don't draw it here for comparison.
After all, everyone can see that Bolang named ide sode, which is somewhat intentional.
The way the developer community compares is how easy it is to use. In fact, the functional modules of ode are not bad, and some functions such as basic code preview, that is, editing the code and seeing the running results in real time, are well done.
There are also more convenient prompts and other functions, which are much more friendly than the previous open source es.
Comparing the two, sode seems to have a latecomer advantage.
Since we compare Sode as an overall IDE, we naturally have to talk about the programming language contained in it. After all, it already has the official programming language Starlight.
At this time, there were some remarks that had to be tilted.
"It has been rumored that Apple is going to launch an official language, but it has not yet happened. It is still just a secondary cut on object-ix. Bolang can launch a programming language like Starlight so quickly, and the degree of emphasis is different."
"Why doesn't anyone mention Android?"
"Huh? What Android? It's a declining system, there's nothing outstanding about it, and it's not worthy of a mobile phone brand that Google itself can't build."
"As far as Wikipedia knows, Bolang Terminal is only a company that was established less than half a year ago. It is hard to imagine that it can come up with so many things."
"..."
After comparing this and that, we returned to the comprehensive comparison.
"Having lightly experienced sode, I have to admit that Bolang is a technology company with outstanding hardware and software products."
Such comments received a lot of support.
The comparison is basically objective.
Moreover, the groups participating in the discussion are mainly developers.
Everyone still has a basic respect for technology.
There are relatively few people who tell lies with open eyes.
However……
Soon a well-known programmer posted an article expressing his opposition:
"nonono!no! It is not a technology company, it must be a people-oriented company, paying more attention to humanity, interaction, service and experience than Apple!
Apple is usually considered a product company. It is believed that they will define products based on human nature and use underlying technology as support. They usually do not think that technology is the only one, but think that talent is the purpose.
It wasn't until today that I discovered that Apple's definition of "people" seems to only include ordinary consumers!
Different, it focuses on everyone's interaction, service and experience! ht is the most perfect combined solution. It is hard to imagine that just the internal beta version has achieved such a level of experience. It understands the needs of developers and fully understands developers!
!
When you heavily use the sht language to write an application, you will find the elegance in it. Starlight is excellent, really excellent. It allows any developer who learns java, javascript, etc. to switch with almost no threshold, and in understanding
In terms of developer needs, it has reached an unimaginable level!"
There is no doubt that such remarks were captured by the team of Bolang Group focusing on overseas markets, which was naturally followed by massive promotion through various channels.
Compared to Yangcheng, after just one night, I found out early the next morning that starlight had already ranked in the hot discussion area of relevant forums including github.
There are even some discussions on public social platforms such as Twitter.
It can be said that it became popular all over the world overnight.
Ten times, a million times, thousands of times hotter than the initial release of all programming languages!
Bolang's team has always been good at taking advantage of opportunities and striking while the iron is hot.
Taking into account the different cultural habits of overseas markets and the domestic market, Bolang prepared a plan early.
Only one day after sode went online, Bolang officially promoted sta developers to register as members in overseas markets!
Relevant content has been released through sta's official accounts on all overseas social platforms, sta forums, starlight forums, sta apps and other developer-oriented channels.
It describes the advantages of becoming an sta developer:
[Become a registered member of sta developer and you will be able to use the official version of sode for free.
Join sta apps to gain permission to distribute apps,
The first 1,000 registered members will be invited to participate in a related global developer conference organized by Bolang for free...]
Advantages associated with membership include various privileges.
Such as beta (test) os version, advanced app features, development, testing, app distribution, etc.
More specifically:
os beta version, get a full set of development tools, advanced app features and services, code-level support, distribute apps on sta apps, access members-only developer events or other event content, and more.
Other basic functions such as sode development tools, sode beta version, device-side testing, sta/starlight developer forum and other basic functions do not require membership.
It also mentioned some requirements. According to the relevant culture and regulations of each region, it is set that only those who have reached the legal age of majority in the region can join the membership.
In addition, there are some affiliate programs for registered members.
For example, the most basic plan is to reduce the revenue from paid apps and in-app purchases for individual developers from the original standardized 30% to 15%.
For example, some plans for enterprise users will make it easier for enterprise users to privately distribute apps internally.
The most important point is:
If you just want to learn how to develop apps for the Sta platform for free, there is no need to join a registered developer membership.
This key point means that if developers are just developing apps for fun and distributing them through sta apps but do not intend to obtain any form of income in any way, they do not need to register.
Apple also requires this.
However, Apple still has a way to go. Both iOS devices and computer devices can directly download and install software through the Internet.
And sta couldn't do it from the beginning.
So far, all applications can only be downloaded, installed and used through sta apps. There is no other way to install the app.
There are also overseas teams who want to crack it, but there has been no progress yet.
In short, the launch of this Sta developer registered membership can be considered to mark the formalization, formalization, standardization and standardization of Sta apps.
It also marks the sales status of xinghai1 in overseas markets, coupled with Bolang's preliminary preparations, giving Bolang the confidence to set standards in overseas markets.
Maybe it’s because of the different cultural environment, or maybe it’s because of the common usage in the industry. The launch of ta developer registered membership not only encountered no opposition, but also received unprecedented support, even though the annual membership fee is as high as $98.
Overseas developers generally believe that this is a formal form of development ecology.
Domestic developers have a slightly different view on this.
Their tendencies are a bit strange.
"I didn't expect that the Xingchen application system would reach this point so quickly. Bolang is really strong, but what will domestic developers do?"
"If this model is the same in China, I still feel a little uncomfortable. It is not as comfortable as Android development, but I also feel that only by taking this step can Xingchen System have a longer-term future."
"Actually, the situation in China... it's really not easy for individual developers to get around. Free apps are like that. Paid apps are like this. When they get big, they become corporate developers..."
"Take your time and take your time. I think Bolang is also somewhat aware of this problem, or it may be that they have reached the same goal through different paths. Bolang is currently engaged in copyright lawsuits in terms of piracy of literature and other aspects."
The strange thing is that many people are optimistic about it, but don't want it to fall on them.
It’s not that I can’t accept it, I just think it’s okay to look at it again.
On the other hand, some people also mentioned the domestic market soil.
This is really a problem. No matter now or in the future, there are almost no well-known individual developers in the domestic market, and there are almost no applications by well-known individual developers.
Even some widgets such as weather forecasts will be made in company mode.
This thing cannot be solved in a short time, so it can only be discussed in one or two sentences.
…………
…………
On March 20, Bolang Terminal officially gradually adjusted the production capacity of Xinghai 1, reducing production by more than 70% from 700,000 units per day to 200,000 units per day.
As of today, a total of 64.9 million Xinghai 1 units have been produced.
It lasted 4 days longer than originally planned and produced 2.8 million more units at full capacity.
The magnitude of the production cut was not as large as expected.
The main reason is that Bolang has been making frequent moves recently.
Including but not limited to the release of the "The Return of the Monkey King" mobile game, STA developer registration as a member, and Sode internal beta version.
There is also a small factor involved.
In the global market, xinghai1 is the only one that has not landed in America. However, it has laid out sales networks in Maple Leaf and other countries around America. People in America protested and simply went to the surrounding areas to buy, which drove a wave of sales.
After all...America is the world's largest consumer market~
Anyway, the network standard of xinghai1 is supported.
As for how users use it, that is the user's problem. Bolang has never been sold in America. Illegal licensing and other matters are the user's problem.
Ami actually turned a blind eye.
And Bo Lang can't be punished.
Bolang does not have any actual business operations in Aramco, but it has purchased many licenses from many Aramco companies. From this perspective, Aramco should treat Bolang as God.
Anyway...
Of the total production of 64.9 million units, less than 2.2 million units are currently included in Bolang Terminal’s own inventory.
That is, the current total shipments are 62.7 million units.
The domestic market is 36.5 million in total shipments.
The overseas market is a total shipment of 26.2 million.
Of the approximately 2.2 million units in stock, more than 1.5 million units are reserved for overseas markets.
The actual sales volume may be a little less than the shipment volume, because some are circulating in the sales network and some are in inventory at the sales outlets.
According to the latest forecast from Bolang Terminal, the global shipments of Xinghai 1 will be approximately 72 to 75 million units.
And now the global shipments of Xinghai 1 have exceeded iPhone 5 by about 15%.
Anyway, the pressure is on Apple.
………
After officially reducing the production capacity of Xinghai 1, Li Ze also initiated a small meeting.
Discussing further building the Sta App ecosystem, reconciling with Facebook at the appropriate time, deepening the overseas plan, and related to the development plan of Chinese-style client games.
At the beginning of the meeting, Li Ze put forward several matters and made a simple summary.
Then other participating members will propose plans.
"According to statistics, there are currently a total of 25.9335 million Xinghai users in overseas markets, which is equivalent to the same number of users of sta apps. It has initially laid the foundation for building a large ecosystem of sta apps. Our plan is to take multiple steps..."
"...The main aspect is to cultivate the developer ecosystem, which requires targeted investment of resources in overseas markets to open up the situation..."
After one person finished speaking, another person immediately followed up: "In fact, according to our statistical analysis, it is related to the reconciliation between the Sta Apps ecosystem and Facebook at the right time, allowing Facebook to launch the Sta version..."
Someone else said: "Of course, of course, this is also related to the deepening of the overseas plan. When some overseas large social platforms are unwilling to develop the sta version, we should further promote BTI's business;
On the other hand, although America is the largest consumer market, its total population is not very large. From the perspective of online advertising effects and other aspects, it can be postponed to enter. Ideally, America can be isolated from a certain perspective through competitive relationships.
.”
"When all high-quality businesses do not enter Aramco, when Aramco's original giant Internet platform's share in other markets is gradually eroded..."
Wen Liang rarely interrupted: "Okay, okay, don't have this kind of dream. There is no need for BTI's business to develop around Aramco."
"Bold entry is better if it is hindered. It will help to exaggerate the taboo flavor, but it will be easier to gain Aramco users in disguise. Internet products cannot be blocked. The more people are blocked, the more people will use it. After all, overseas is not domestic. As for not being hindered,
Then go straight in, why not earn some dollars if you have them?"
Li Ze took over the conversation at the right time, made a comprehensive statement, and made the direction of the plan clearer.
He has no idea about Wen Liang's sensitivity in when to develop in a roundabout way and when to develop proactively.
no way.
After more experience, I have become accustomed to Wen Liang's precise vision in all aspects. With the combination of ode and sta developers registering as members, the prerequisites for reconciliation with Facebook are already in place. Facebook will inevitably only be able to launch programs through sode.
Compiled sta version.
Once you log into the Sta platform and then log out, it is actually not completely within the control of Facebook alone.
It has to be repeated over and over again, and that’s okay. It not only gives opportunities to Xiaocheng Book International Edition and QQ International Edition, but also gives Bolang more opportunities to make the golden name of Xinghai known around the world.
After everything was discussed, PC gaming was mentioned.
None of the Guofeng studios promoted "Lord of Glory". It was only developed in a public beta format and did not even run any soft-text advertisements.
Mainly waiting for White Goose to complete relevant adjustments and arrangements.
Both parties need a lot of tacit cooperation to transfer the market and ensure the best interests of both parties. After all, White Goose also wants to sell the equity of Riot Games at the right time, so it cannot be wasted.
The administrative management of Guofeng Studio proposed a plan: "White Goose has made preparations and accepted our proposal to dispatch teams from both parties to work together. Our plan is to start with the Asia-Pacific market, including the domestic market.
But it’s not a priority.”
Others have come up with some related ideas.
The purpose is fine.
We won’t be too fussy about discussing specific details.
The main reason is that Bolang does not have that wrangling atmosphere, uukanshu.com www.uukanshu.com The current development stage is still far from office fighting. This is probably the advantage of a developing company.
On the other hand, Bolang has always tried to avoid this phenomenon during the construction process of its human resources system.
For example, Wen Liang angrily scolded some people in administrative positions at the last all-staff live broadcast meeting for not knowing the limits of heaven and earth.
Once being the greasy Director Wen in the eyes of some evil people, Wen Liang knew all these things very well.
Matters related to client games have also been settled in accordance with the purpose.
Finally, Li Ze briefly summarized: "All aspects are combined to form a final plan, which is finalized and implemented. Detailed issues are reported directly to the collaborative office center."
Then the meeting adjourned.
He also patted his ass and ran away. He had to quickly take charge of the reconciliation with Facebook, which also saved him the trouble of continuing to disturb Mr. Wen who didn’t want to go to work 24 hours a day~-
ps: Stop scolding, stop scolding~ I’m just guarding against theft~
