The financial crisis has more or less impact on every industry, but depending on the nature of these industries, the damage caused will naturally be large or small.````
The previous one around 2000, after the Internet bubble crisis broke out, caused the loss and evaporation of tens of thousands of assets. It also gave the major Internet giants a wake-up call and made them start to wonder why they were developing so prosperously.
Will the Internet suddenly be completely destroyed like a collapsed house?
After many years of thinking, they discovered that the Internet cannot simply rely on online development and cannot just hype concepts. It must be grounded, that is, connected offline, in order to have a future.
So Amazon has developed in recent years, Cisco has developed again through network solutions, and Google has developed through maps and search engines to connect offline life.
The appstore has developed smoothly by directly linking every mobile phone user of Samsung, Apple and Fairy.
These companies have all suffered considerable damage during the financial crisis, but because they have nothing to do with financial derivatives, let alone the subprime debt crisis, the recovery time is obviously faster than that of the real industry.
many.
Especially in the App Store, in the first month of the financial crisis, sales dropped sharply by 30%, falling into negative sales growth for the first time. In October, it continued to decline by 21%, barely a little less, but in the first half of November
In May, it increased by 23% month-on-month, allowing people to once again see the strong strength of the app store.
The Wall Street Financial Times devoted three days to sorting out the development history of the app store and discussing why the app store recovered so quickly. This article triggered heated discussions in the global financial community and the smart electronics industry.
In fact, in Xiao Qi's opinion, it is very simple to summarize the success of the app store, that is, solid basic skills and continuous innovation.
Many people only see the overnight wealth in the Internet world, but they fail to see the competition in the Internet industry, which is actually very cruel.
Once you encounter a major setback or mistake, your company, no matter how many billions or tens of billions you make, will go bankrupt the next day. Even more rapidly than in the real industry.
Therefore, if you want to maintain the success of the Internet industry, you need the two points that Xiao Qi has thought about and summarized.
In particular, continuous innovation is an important factor in attracting more and more customers, and it is also an important advantage in retaining old customers.
Due to the continuous sales of products from Samsung, Apple and Fairy, the App Store's monthly sales have now reached 60 billion U.S. dollars. After deducting all costs, the monthly net profit has reached 3 billion U.S. dollars.
After this number was reported, countless people salivated over the App Store.
Although the monthly net profit is only 5%, it cannot cope with its huge scale. New companies are constantly joining in to create wealth for them.
But in fact, because of the global construction of cloud computing and cloud storage in the AppStore system, from December last year to now, the three major shareholders have not paid dividends and have all invested in it.
However, neither Xiao Qi, Gang Leader Qiao nor Li Jianxi were dissatisfied with this at all. They were even willing to invest more.
Because of the advantages of cloud computing and cloud storage, various programs and games in the App Store now have a network built in the middle of the user group, allowing users to connect to the network and run nearby when running programs and games, thus reducing the number of
It reduces the difficulty of data transmission. It increases convenience and speed, making the processing of games and programs smoother.
The user experience brought about by this is completely unmatched by the Android system.
The Android store currently has only about 30 million users, which is simply not on the same level as the Appstore, which has nearly 400 million users.
One of the big reasons is that they lag behind significantly in cloud computing and cloud storage.
But Google can't help it. Nokia and Motorola can't give much support in this regard. How can they alone compete with the giant app store?
Not to mention Google’s frustration.
Go back to the app store.
At the beginning of November, sharp-eyed people saw that a very small software called "Beautiful Picture Sharing" appeared on the US homepage of the app store.
Any software that can be listed on the homepage of app stores in various countries is very good and has at least one very special advantage. Otherwise, if you have money, you won’t be able to open the keyboards of those technical geeks and let them recommend it to you against their will.
After seeing the beautiful pictures and sharing the above introduction, many people downloaded it.
As a result, everyone found it very easy to use. Whether it was the processing speed and effects of photos, the fun of adding text and images, and the ability to send to Twitter or Facebook, it was all surprisingly good.
Simple, convenient, practical and fun.
Just these four characteristics have directly made sharing beautiful pictures spread among young people in the United States.
Within a week, although Meitu Sharing was removed from the homepage, it relied on its own strength to directly reach the top ten of the free application download rankings that week, and it was worthy of being on the homepage.
This is a big deal!
You know, for the top ten free programs, such as super giants such as Twitter, Facebook, etc., it was very rare that a new application could rush to them directly, let alone it only took a week.
The American app store is very representative. Usually when users from other European and American countries cannot find good applications or programs in their home country’s app stores, they will come here to look for interesting ones, and then go back.
Download in your own country.
Seeing that the beautiful pictures are being shared so fiercely, everyone is interested.
Therefore, with such a demonstration effect, beautiful picture sharing soon reached the top in the UK, Australia, Germany, Italy and other countries, directly reaching the top of the homepage recommendation and homepage download rankings.
As of November 15th, the number of downloads and users of Meitu Sharing has exceeded 8 million, making it another cool software popular in the world!
Many experts are predicting that the expansion of beautiful photo sharing will be very rapid, and it is expected to reach the goal of 20 million people within the year!
Although it is free software, as long as there are users, it has value, both in terms of advertising value and investment value!
Obviously, sharing beautiful pictures has become so popular!
Then it was revealed that Meitu Sharing is a small software company in Hong Kong, and its name is Meitu Sharing. This immediately made Meitu Sharing Company famous overnight!
Hong Kong people have received little good news recently, that is, Xiao Qi's investment in Wharf has made the stock market trend slightly better.
This local emergence of an important photo sharing software that has taken the world by storm has never happened before.
Now it suddenly attracted the attention of the whole world, and immediately triggered the enthusiasm of gossip reporters for the beauty photo sharing company.
Hong Kong is in a state of depression right now, and what it needs is exciting things!
In the business district near Victoria Park on Gloucester Road, the entrance to an ordinary business building is now crowded with reporters.
In particular, TVB reporters were told by the general manager that they must analyze and publicize this matter in an all-round way, so that the founders of beautiful photo sharing can become well-known stars in Hong Kong.
So TVB alone had an interview and production team of more than thirty people. If the business building hadn't been alert earlier, they would have rushed inside to find people from the photo sharing company.
"Come out, come out!"
As they watched several young people walk out, dozens of reporters swarmed over, eager to insert microphones directly into their mouths.
"Mr. Feng, do you have any thoughts on the current success of sharing beautiful pictures?"
"You previously developed a beautiful photo sharing software, did you ever think it would become popular all over the world?"
"I heard that Meitu Sharing Company has been valued at US$100 million by JPMorgan Chase, and is planning to invest US$30 million for a 30% stake. Is this true?"
“The Hong Kong general manager of Citibank said in an interview that Meitu Sharing Company will be given loan treatment at the company level for the most promising companies. What do you think of this?”
"The Meitu sharing company was originally worth only a few million, but now it has grown rapidly to a valuation of hundreds of millions of dollars. How do you plan to develop the company in the future?"
"..."
Listening to the noise of these people, Feng Kelen, who had a smile on his face, pressed his hand, and the sparrow suddenly disappeared immediately. They all waited eagerly for Feng Kelen to speak.
"First, Meitu Sharing Company's future goal is 100 million users, so we have a long way to go and we will not relax. Second, Meitu Sharing Company has accepted an investment of US$300 million from Mr. Xiao Qi, President of Fairy Company. We
There is no shortage of funds now, and we have the most sufficient funds for development. Thirdly, Meitu Sharing Company is currently expanding rapidly. I look forward to Hong Kong's electronic technology talents joining my team so that we can succeed together!"
"Wow..."
"Mr. Feng..."
After hearing these revelations, the reporters immediately turned into sparrows and started chirping questions.
Feng Kelun refused to answer this time and walked out with the others.
But his high-spirited and handsome face has entered thousands of households along with the TV screen.
…
"Bang!"
In an ordinary apartment, a girl stared at Feng Kelen on TV in stunned silence. She dropped her water glass and didn't care. Her heart was full of bitter regret. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
