However, no matter what, since the sales of mobile phones in the Android Alliance have continued to increase, the calls for developers to unite to change exclusive permissions have become louder and louder.
The power of the masses is great.
After Sony Ericsson released the st38 mobile phone last year, almost 90% of the developer teams and companies sent representatives to negotiate with the app store after collective discussions. Although the goal was not achieved for a while, intensive negotiations every half month still achieved results.
Xiao Qi, Gang Leader Qiao and Li Jianxi felt the pressure.
Although there is a contract to suppress them, no matter whether it is the East or the West, ancient or modern, it is impossible to handle things so strictly.
When the strengths are about the same, the most correct approach is for both parties to discuss and compromise with each other.
It was precisely because of this that Gang Leader Qiao and Li Jianxi finally compromised and agreed when Xiao Qi proposed "opening up exclusive rights and changing the distribution plan."
But Gang Leader Qiao is not that easy to mess with. Xiao Qi originally wanted to split it 50-50, but he insisted on taking 10% more profits from the app store in the first year. Li Jianxi naturally agreed with him.
Developer representatives think this contract is too deceptive. Originally, all games and programs are the most profitable in the first year. If you increase the share ratio during the most profitable period, what else will we earn?
When the two sides were in a stalemate, during the patent litigation period, when Fairy Company was negotiating with the Android Alliance, the Android Alliance got the news and stepped in, saying that we would subsidize the 10%. This was a happy ending for everyone.
The Android Alliance is certainly not a fool who foolishly gives money to others.
But among the three parties in this negotiation, they most hope that the negotiation will be successful and hundreds of thousands of apps can be directly added to the Android mall. This will bring them great benefits, and even in turn promote more small and medium-sized manufacturers to use it.
Android system, join their Android camp.
Therefore, after the negotiations reached a stalemate, both Google, Motorola, Nokia, and Sony Ericsson actively coordinated, and in the end they simply subsidized 10% of the price difference themselves. Finally, the time-consuming and labor-intensive negotiations were completed.
This leads to the announcement that everyone saw this morning about appstore opening exclusive permissions.
That’s why Xiao Qi’s Fairy Guard can be sold in both the app store and the Android store.
In addition to Fairy Defender, there are many programs, such as another game of Fairy Company, "Exploding Bird"...etc., more than 70% of the appstore developer team has chosen to accept the sharing terms and enter the Android store.
The remaining 30% are not unwilling, but they feel that the current number of users in the Android store is too small. For such a small number of users, losing 20% of their income is not worth it, so they decided to wait another year and a half and see the Android store.
Only after the alliance exceeded 200 million users did we join.
As a recent flagship product of Fairy Company, Fairy Guardian has not only entered the store homepages of many countries in the app store, but has also appeared on the store homepages of many countries in the Android store.
There is such a good eye-catching effect, naturally it is not because of Xiao Qi's reputation. It is because Fairy Company paid for it!
Half of the app store's homepage and category recommendation positions are determined by user ratings, downloads and purchase indexes. The other half is the advertising space sold by the app store, which is a means of generating revenue for the app store.
Fairy Guardian has no user accumulation and has not been evaluated by users. How could it be so casually listed on the homepage?
Even if Xiao Qi is the largest shareholder of App Store and the absolute controlling shareholder, he will not destroy his reputation like this.
So everything follows the specified rules. If Fairy Guard wants to be recommended on the homepage of major countries, it can only pay a huge fee of tens of millions of dollars a month.
This is actually quite good.
Most of the fees paid by Xiao Qi returned to his own pocket, but he respected the rules because of this. In the future, whether it is Apple, Samsung, or other subsequent shareholders, they will abide by the rules and make the app store even better.
It’s good, instead of you taking advantage and I taking advantage, you get a little bit and I get a little bit... This is how many partnership companies in China collapsed.
The same is true in the Android mall. Fairy Guardian still paid a price to be on the home page.
It's just that the Android mall is not powerful, and advertising is now very cheap, only one-eighth of the price in the app store.
The products of Fairy Company have always been very popular with everyone.
The saying that "products produced by Fairy Company must be high-quality products" has a market all over the world.
I saw that this Fairy Guard, which claims to "protect your mobile phone and funds from harm", has a one-month free trial period, and more than 7 million users downloaded it on the day it was launched.
Not long after, there were already many comments from experts on the forum.
"My biggest worry is that Fairy Guard takes up too much of my memory. You also know how bad the memory of Nokia n80 is. But after I installed it, I ran a few software that I often run and found that it has an impact on the running speed.
The impact is probably only about 20%. I believe that if Fairy Guard is used on iPhones and Dreamstars, the impact must be minimal!"
"After using the virus scanning and garbage cleaning functions, I found that my Fairy system is very good. There is almost no garbage, and there are no hidden viruses. However, after installing such protection and anti-virus software, it will be helpful for my future online shopping.
As for Internet safety, it should be another guarantee! Compared to the possible losses, I think even if there is a charge next month, it’s not a big deal.”
"Hey, I hate those harassing calls so much that I wish I could block them all. Now that Fairy Guard is installed, I can set how to filter these harassing calls and spam messages. It's great!"
“I really like Fairy Guard’s one-click memory cleanup, which instantly makes my phone run much faster. I use Dreamstars, and after installing Fairy Guard, I used the real-time monitoring function to browse phishing websites.
, the result was that the police were immediately blocked and access was blocked. It’s a very powerful function!”
"I enjoy using it, but I heard that the base price for Fairy Guard is 12 US dollars a year. With our super high tax rate in Germany, it's at least 20 US dollars a year. It's a bit expensive!"
"Why is 20 dollars expensive? Last month, my Sony Ericsson mobile phone was invaded by Trojan software, and I lost more than 300 US dollars in bank deposits. Isn't this equivalent to more than ten years of expenses? If you are not afraid that your personal life will be compromised.
It’s leaked and attacked by Trojan software, so it’s okay to be so stingy!”
"..."
A group of people were talking about it, which made Fairy Guard even more popular. There was even a free advertisement directly on the homepage of the download ranking list in 28 countries.
The reason is that mobile phone manufacturers have not done enough in terms of mobile phone security.
Now is the Internet age of mobile phones, tablets, etc. The biggest use of smartphones and tablets is to connect to the Internet and become a mobile smart terminal for use.
Therefore, whether it is Facebook, Twitter, or mobile payments such as shopping with credit cards, they can all be run through smart terminals such as mobile phones and tablets. Therefore, mobile phone security is a very important topic now and in the future.
That’s it for Fairy, Apple and Samsung. They all use their own closed systems. In addition, all apps need to be verified by the app store before they can be downloaded and purchased, so their security performance is guaranteed.
But the Android system is different. It is an open platform, which means that as long as the software has a download link, you can download the software to your Android phone without passing any review.
In this way, just like the computer Trojan viruses on the Internet, hackers can use the same method to send the virus to the user's mobile phone, thereby stealing the user's personal information, bank card passwords, etc. through various means.
And so on, the user's wealth is plundered without anyone noticing.
This kind of thing will not happen in the future.
In fact, in 2008, there were more than 100,000 incidents caused by mobile phone security. Although the overall number is not very large, it is enough to attract people's attention.
Of course there are knowledgeable people.
For example, software such as Kaspersky and Little Red Umbrella have already begun to develop security software for mobile phones.
But at most they are just in the process of planning it, and there is no project at all.
With Xiao Qi, a person like Xiao Qi who has an insight into the future, Fairy Company can naturally take the lead and directly occupy this huge market.
People have a habit of preconceptions. Once they are accustomed to using Fairy Guard, they will be reluctant to change to other software.
Needless to say, Fairy Guardian can occupy 30% of the smart electronics market, which is enough to make a lot of money and become another flagship product of Fairy Company.
Of course, there is something to note.
That is, future anti-virus protection software such as 360 Guard, Baidu Guard, etc. will be launched for free.
If Fairy Guard wants to dominate the market through charging, it must have technical capabilities and means that are higher than theirs.
Only by being far ahead of free products in various technologies can we gain the loyalty of users! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
