Chapter 1168 Rubbish Apple

"Garbage, garbage!" Jobs angrily threw aside an iPhone 2 CP, which was the company's upcoming second-generation product. But after playing with it in his hands, Jobs discovered that this product

It's actually not even comparable to the first generation of Tianzhou Terminal. If Apple just uses this thing to hold a press conference, God knows how people will laugh at it.

But what's even more fatal is that this second-generation product has to be released, otherwise this thing that Apple has invested all its wealth in will become an abandoned child of the times.

Who made Apple’s first-generation CP endure the most miserable treatment in history?

Originally, the situation of the CP generation was very good when it was released. Because of the long-term marketing, both CP and PT attracted enough attention. The initial more than 2 million units were all sold out in the first time.

Everyone at Apple feels extremely excited.

But with the emergence of the Universe Terminal, everything is completely different.

In front of Tianzhou Terminal, whether it is its own CP or the PT of a friend, they are all reduced to rubbish in seconds. Not only are the fluency of the equipment reduced to rubbish in seconds, but even the price is no match for them.

.

The price of the ordinary version of Tianzhou Terminal was locked at US$300. Apple initially had to bite the bullet and continue to sell it at the original price of US$500. As a result, the sales volume was naturally unparalleled. After three months, not even 100,000 units were sold.

Not sold.

Therefore, Apple in another world also follows the high-price route. But Apple in that world is the first to eat crabs, and the experience of using the mobile phone really kills many Android phones into slag, and it is worthy of its reputation in terms of performance.

First, everyone accepts the price Apple sells at. Even if you sell it at a low price, many people will not do it.

But after Boss Huang came to this world, the situation was completely different, so Apple was still the first to hold a press conference, but the quality of its products was instantly reduced to scum by Tianzhou Terminal.

Compared with Tianzhou Terminal, this cannot be sold at all.

However, Jobs never gave up hope, and he believed that Apple was more than 90% sure that it could defeat its opponents, because their opponents actually used anti-market 5-digit computer systems and programs.

For this kind of system, I am afraid that no third party other than Jiangnan Group can develop a program for it. Tianzhou Terminal without a program, despite the hustle and bustle now, when the program software libraries of both parties are not of the same order of magnitude.

, that’s when Tianzhou Terminal was instantly killed.

But even Jobs himself did not expect that Boss Huang would come up with the genius trick of exchanging listing codes for stocks.

This led to a large number of program companies to bite the bullet and start developing programs for Tianzhou Terminal. It only took Tianzhou Terminal three months to have the total number of applications in its own app store exceed 100,000, and now the total number of applications in the app store

It has exceeded 300,000.

In comparison, the current number of apps in the iTunes store has just exceeded 10,000, and has been outnumbered by opponents 30 times.

Faced with this situation, Boss Qiao could comfort himself at first. The app store of Tianzhou Terminal was full of junk programs specifically used to redeem listing codes. They only had quantity but no quality, so they were not worth mentioning.

However, with the listing of 00 Network, the rules for exchanging stocks have also changed from quantity to quality. Although most wallet companies have stopped the development of Tianzhou terminal applications, the growth rate of the number of applications in their app stores has also slowed down significantly.

Later, various programs launched by third-party development companies gradually appeared on various rankings in the Tianzhou store.

Of course, it is this application developed by Jiangnan Group that dominates all rankings at this time.

While trying every means to encourage third parties to develop applications, Jiangnan Group has never left behind the most important environment of self-development. After all, at this time, the combined strength of third-party quinary development cannot compete with Jiangnan Group's own quinary development.

Compared with the strength of Jiangnan Group, the focus of development of various program software still falls on Jiangnan Group itself.

Then Jiangnan Group launched a variety of application applications at a terrifying double-digit rate every week. Not to mention the earliest super-dominant social APP WeChat, and later launched beauty cameras, Tian

Various applications including Tianzhou Office, Tianzhou Photo Editing, Tianzhou News, Tianzhou Video, Tianzhou Music, etc. are constantly developed and launched, and the various functions of Tianzhou Terminal are constantly enriched.

, firmly occupying the top positions in the application rankings.

However, the launch speed of applications is still low. The real launch speed is actually game-related applications. When Tianzhou was first launched, its built-in game called Cut the Rope became a hit game at the time.

, triggering a frenzy across the Internet.

After that, Tianzhou Terminal would launch an explosive game almost every quarter. For example, in the first quarter of 2008, the game Fruit Ninja was launched. It is said that many terminal screens were smoking.

In the second quarter, the game Little Crocodile Loves Bathing was launched, once again dominating the list.

In the third quarter, that is, a month ago, Tianzhou Terminal launched a game that was several times more influential than the previous games: Plants vs. Zombies.

This tower defense game that relies on plants to fight zombies quickly hit the internet. Especially at this time, we are facing the subprime mortgage crisis. A large number of people stay at home with nothing to do, so they just use terminal games to relieve their boredom. This

It also led to a nationwide wave of the game Plants vs. Zombies in disguise.

In order to keep up with the trend of the times, many people gritted their teeth and saved US$300 from their little cash to buy a Tianzhou terminal, so that the first generation of Tianzhou terminal actually ushered in the whole month of August.

A sales peak occurred, with 6 million units sold in one month.

This sales figure is more than 2 million more than Apple's annual CP sales figure. Boss Qiao was so angry that he gave up his morning and evening classes that day. He even said for the first time that Apple would create its own game development department.

of.

But Jiangnan Group's own game development is actually not too fatal. After all, no matter how fast their development speed is, they will only produce a dozen games in a quarter. After all, quality games are not high, and it seems that major game manufacturers around the world are not calling

The idea of ​​joining the battlefield of terminal games is that after all, they don't have the ability to develop games based on the quinary system.

Then 00 Network took action. After completing the listing, OO Network had a terrifyingly huge cash flow in their hands. 00 Network didn’t even know what to do with the cash, so they announced that they would carry out a large-scale transplant plan and spend a lot of money.

Recruit personnel to port all classic PC and console games to the terminal.

Because OO Network stated that after the game is successfully transplanted, the holders of the game IP will still be able to get 50% of the sales share, so the major game companies have no resistance to this plan, allowing the game team established by 00 Network to take advantage of it.

Our own classic games are made into terminal versions.

In just half a year, more than 600 classic PC games and console games have been ported to Tianzhou Terminal. Also in August, 00 Network even announced that it would start simultaneous porting of new games.

That is to say, when a game company wants to release the latest game, for example, if Nintendo wants to release the console game "Pokemon Angels and Demons", then 00 Network will release the terminal version of "Pokemon Angels and Demons" on the same day.

》.

Of course, this is just an example. Nintendo is still very stubborn in cooperating with the OO game platform. It still produces and sells its own products and builds its own sales network. It ignores the olive branch extended by 00 Network.

However, other game manufacturers are not so stubborn. If you have money but don't make money, it's SB. There is no reason to refuse at all.

Therefore, although Apple, Google, and even Boss Qiao himself have always firmly believed that in the absence of a large number of third-party developers, no matter how good the performance of Tianzhou Terminal is, it will never be possible to win this battle.

But one year has passed, and classic programs and games are constantly emerging on Tianzhou Terminal, and a large number of new applications are launched every month. However, looking at Apple and Google, the growth rate of applications in their app stores has begun to decline.

Nowadays, the number of newly launched third-party applications every month is less than three digits. Most of them are applications developed by unknown small companies or independent producers. Those big program manufacturers have almost given up on CP and PT.

The above third-party program development.

It is said that these major program manufacturers have actually secretly established controlled affiliated companies, and then invested huge financial resources in these affiliated companies to develop applications for Tianzhou Store.

Even if they have no development talents for 5-digit computer systems, they will bite the bullet and pay high salaries to recruit people from other companies, or even fly directly to China and go to Jiangnan University to grab people, just to take away a person who knows how to develop 5-digit computer systems.

A programmer who writes programs.

It is said that the average monthly salary of quinary program developers on the market has reached a terrifying price of 7,000 US dollars, while the average monthly salary of the same binary program developers is only 4,300 US dollars. The gap between the two is almost double.

.

By the way, Apple has also conducted serious research. Jobs himself even went to chat with some friends to understand why they would rather get involved in a 5-digit computer system with no experience at all than to develop on the familiar iOS platform.

program.

The answers from these friends were straight to the point, simple and clear, "You have almost no active users now, and you can't make any money developing programs for you. Although Tianzhou's development costs are high, as long as it can make good things, it will still be worth it."

It can make money!”
