Chapter 1353 Improvements to the App Store (Thanks to JimH's 10000
Although it was night time, Xiao Qi was also preparing to start a family planning project with the beautiful Northeast Ocean Horse, but his good work was interrupted by a sudden phone call.
The caller was Gang Leader Qiao.
I looked at the time, it was 10 pm, 7 am California Daylight Time.
Xiao Qi said helplessly: "Stephen, if you don't have anything important to do, I think I've prepared a bunch of bad words."
"Vulgar words? This is not the behavior of a gentleman." The old gangster Qiao Gang leader said seriously: "I have something serious to ask you... Don't you think our app store is expanding too fast now?"
"Isn't this good?" Xiao Qi said in surprise, "The more programs we have, the more we will gain!"
Gang Leader Qiao said: "But when I received last month's financial report, I found that the total number of apps now exceeds 856,500, of which 630,000 are paid apps and about 220,000 free apps. And the apps that remain active
There are only 690,000. Excluding the free ones, only 500,000 paid ones are active.
In other words, nearly 20% of paid apps are stagnant or rarely sold, but they occupy a total of 15.3% of website resources, cloud computing and cloud storage resources. This means that our expenditures are in vain
15.3% wasted!
Last month's app store expenditure was US$650 million. If we reduce expenditure by 15.3%, does it mean that profits will increase significantly, and resources can be better optimized to focus more on programs that can sustain development?
What about above?"
Xiao Qi frowned slightly.
What Gang Leader Qiao said is indeed a problem.
Those applications that the designers themselves find very interesting and are sure to make money may not necessarily be well received by users.
It is not an option to just let them put the applications they created behind closed doors in the app store. If this continues, it will occupy more and more website resources and cause more and more expenses, but the developers of the applications will not suffer any losses.
, at most it means that it can’t be sold and it won’t make any money.
However, Gang Leader Qiao's approach was a bit too cruel. He deleted all these applications at once, which would greatly affect the enthusiasm of program developers.
But this is also Gang Leader Qiao’s consistent approach. If you can’t make money for me, get out!
Xiao Qi thought for a while and said: "Some programs may not have a chance, so they are not prosperous. And now we don't have enough smart phones and smart tablets. With Apple's tablets, Fairy's smart phones, Samsung
More mobile phones and tablets have entered the market one after another, and the massive increase in users may give them a chance to prosper."
"I'm guessing!" Gang Leader Qiao disagreed. "Now the app's classification index is very complete, and the website's recommendation measures are also very good. It's not popular now, and the chance of becoming popular in the future is small, even if it is.
.The number is not large. Compared with the expenses we can reduce, it is definitely more cost-effective to persuade them to quit."
After a pause, he continued: "Hey, look at those idiots from Samsung! What kind of smartphones do they still want to make? Do you think Apple is so easy to surpass? It's okay now. They are all disgraced! Look,
I’m afraid it’s your Dreamstars that can pose a certain threat to the iPhone.”
It can be seen from Gang Leader Qiao's words how confident he is in the iPhone and his contempt for any opponent.
To do business, you still need this domineering attitude of being the only one in the world.
Of course. If you only have this kind of domineering power but don’t have matching products, then it can’t be called domineering. It’s called being a frog in the well and being arrogant!
Gang Leader Qiao didn't reply when he saw Xiao Qi. He knew that he was continuing to think and didn't bother him.
After a moment, Xiao Qi said calmly, "Well, Stephen, I don't think it should be so complicated and heartless... Let's do this. We can try to charge an app-specific fee. The annual fee is, for example, 168 US dollars.
Used to filter application software. For those program developers who cannot make money, paying a fee of US$168 per year is also a big burden, so it will definitely be automatically deleted by then."
"Hahaha……"
Gang Leader Qiao laughed loudly and exclaimed: "Xiao Qi, you are really a complete profiteer! This is a great method! We can not only increase our income, but also force out those developers who don't know how high the sky is and streamline expenses! It's indeed better than
My method is better! But the money you asked for is more than I thought. I originally thought that $99 would be enough!"
Xiao Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Then, let the app store improve the regulations on specific matters. They have experience in doing this. When their planning plan is come out and the three parties of us confirm it, we will
It can be implemented.”
"Okay!" Gang Leader Qiao said smoothly, "Actually, you don't even need to tell Li Jianxi, just our two families have settled. This guy's head is still stuck in the medieval era, and he can't compare to you!"
The young man didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They all said that Gang Leader Qiao was Qiao Pao, and he lived up to his reputation. While he belittled Li Jianxi, he also belittled Xiao Qi.
People like Gang Leader Qiao really can't use shares to restrain him. He has never thought that Xiao Qi's shares in the app store are much higher than his. Anyway, if he has an opinion, just say it. If Xiao Qi's opinion is
No, he will not be silent, but will object fiercely.
Because he is a true genius with strong courage and charisma, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many people supporting him at Apple - you know, Gang Leader Qiao’s shares in Apple are less than 1%! Those big guys
Any one of the shareholders can kill him instantly, but no one dares to jump out and say that Gang Leader Qiao is wrong.
So, as long as you have the ability, as long as you can achieve success, you will be a strong person everywhere, and all your shares will be secondary.
After saying a few more words, Xiao Qi finally hung up the phone.
The beautiful wife, who had been waiting impatiently, kept kissing Xiao Qi's ears with her little tongue, making the young man feel hot all over.
Sitting up a little straighter, Xiao Qi bent down and reached out, and with a "snap", he slapped her upturned breasts.
"Okay, you little goblin, it seems that I haven't dealt with you harshly for a long time, are you itchy again?" Xiao Qi's voice was full of righteous judgment, "Turn around, I want a good punishment
