Chapter 1355 (1/2)
For Google, the reason why Andy agreed to let the other party share in the free city app store so easily is that the most important thing is to stop the other party's idea of building its own app store, and then pull Google to hit apple.
In the mobile era, the three most popular systems on the market are windows, IOS and Android. Among them, windows is not open-source, and the price of a set of Windows operating system is not cheap. Look at how many years Bill Gates has occupied the world's richest man, it's clear how much Microsoft has made with this Windows system!
Apple's IOS is closed-source, and only for its own use, never for sale. But Apple charges for system development for every user who buys an apple device.
Only Android is open source and free. This will undoubtedly become a huge welfare for major mobile phone manufacturers around the world.
As for why Google wants to return Android system development to free, it has to be explained that Google is not a good generation and does not want to make money with Android system. This is mainly because Android is developed based on Linux, and Linux has always been open source, and the similar feeling has belonged to the whole society.
So Android from the most fundamental intellectual property point of view, ha ha, no way, only open source, otherwise the infringement of all mankind!
Of course, after Google acquired Android, it invested a lot of time and energy in developing and improving Android system. Make it more practical, more stable and sustainable. From this point of view, we also have to accept Google's authorization management mode, which can't let people work in vain.
Sometimes the real answer to that sentence, free is the most expensive! Google is not a loser, Google is not stupid, but in the fierce market share competition, take a more intelligent way to survive and grow.
Simply put, even with Android's entire ecosystem, advertising revenue alone is an astronomical figure. What's more, Android will have all Google Apps built in.
The other biggest profit-making project is the sales of APP software developed based on Android system. At present, the world's largest app store, Andy's free city app store, undoubtedly ranks first.
With more than 25000 apps downloaded more than 1 billion times, Apple's app store, which has 300 million downloads, has been directly thrown out of the street. Google hasn't considered setting up an app store on its own, but seeing Apple's app store, which has been run down by various marketing means and money burning activities in the free city, the board of directors of Google finds that it may not succeed in rebuilding an app store to join in the battle for market share. It's better to directly invest in the acquisition of free city, the largest a in the world PP application mall is more cost-effective.
It's a pity that the founder of APP mall, the city of freedom, is a very greedy guy who refuses Google's purchase intention directly. However, they have successfully opened the door for financing, which is also an acceptable situation for Google. Being a major shareholder can also guarantee their own interests.
Andy is very pleased to be able to edit Google and kill the idea of Google establishing an app store alone. At present, no one can imagine that smart phones will become an integral part of human life in the future, and the world will enter the era of mobile Internet.
Google would never have thought that Android would occupy 70% of the world market in a few years. If Google could predict this, they would never jump into the pit Andy prepared for them!
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, at four seasons hotel, which is only one block away from Union Square in San Francisco, Andy looks at the floor button that keeps flashing. When the number of 17 lights up, the elevator makes a ”Ding” sound. Then, the elevator door slowly opens, and the two bodyguards who have been standing in front of him lead out of the elevator first.
Andy, dressed in a black tailored high-end suit and a shirt tie, stepped on the carpet and came to the door of a luxury suite. He took out a room card from his pocket and brushed it. After a drop, he pushed the door in.
Nai oil color system creates the warm atmosphere of the whole suite. The coffee colored curtains block the huge floating windows in the living room. Two vertical table lamps have been lit up, emitting warm light.
”Who is it?”
