Chapter 15 Recharge Service

Huang Yuping was unable to make a decision on such a major matter and could only report it to Wu Siyuan.

When Wu Siyuan saw this condition, he chuckled. It was really... a beautiful idea!

After Wu Siyuan returned to the company, he immediately instructed Huang Yuping that he was not satisfied with the cooperation conditions given by the two companies.

[Audition] The annual licensing fee is US$100 million. If you want to cooperate, you must first pay the licensing fees for three years.

And if the other party terminates the cooperation, the three-year licensing fee will not be refunded.

Wu Siyuan told Huang Yuping that he would discuss cooperation with the other party based on these conditions.

This condition can be said to be quite harsh, that is to say, if you want to cooperate, each company must first invest 300 million US dollars.

The representatives of [Alibaba] and [JD.com] were naturally very angry when they heard this cooperation condition. They asked Huang Yuping whether he was not sincere in cooperation.

Huang Yuping said that in Shangyanshang, we quote this price because we think it has this value.

The terms of cooperation are here. If you feel dissatisfied, you don’t have to cooperate.

You are not the only two e-commerce platforms in China.

Wu Siyuan is no longer the protagonist in black technology online novels. He invented a certain black technology software, but his kunai did not have the funds to maintain it, so he had to sell it or bring in venture capital.

[Chaoqun Group] has a big business and a lot of money. We can still afford a few servers without any pressure at all.

The representatives of [Alibaba] and [JD.com] are naturally not to be outdone. In negotiations, you cannot be led by the other party, otherwise you will be manipulated by others.

They said that the reason why they chose to cooperate with [Audition] was just to launch the market faster. If the terms given by [Audition] were too harsh, they would not have no choice. After all, the Internet has no secrets. Launching a product with similar functions The software may be time-consuming and troublesome, but at that time, there will be no [audition].

Huang Yuping sneered at this. He had already received news from Wu Siyuan that [Alibaba], [JD.com] and other Internet companies had already tried internally to decipher the [Audition] software, but so far, none of them had been successful. Examples are a bunch of gibberish.

That’s why they had to come over to [Audition] to discuss cooperation.

Otherwise, would the integrity of Internet giants be so good?

So Huang Yuping said very firmly, this is your freedom. But next time I come here, the threshold may be higher.

The negotiations did not go smoothly, and representatives from [Alibaba] and [JD.com] left angrily.

They each contacted their own company's board of directors and reported back the request put forward by Huang Yuping. The response they received was naturally a categorical rejection. They asked about the development level of the company's relevant software, but there was not much information. The final order they received was to contact [Chaoqun Group] 】Continue to negotiate and be sure to reach cooperation.

The negotiating teams of the two major companies hung up the phone glumly.

But they didn't know it yet, just as they walked out of the headquarters of [Chaoqun Group], the [Audition] software started a new round of software upgrades.

With the super artificial intelligence [Four-Armed King Kong], the [Audition] software can be upgraded very quickly.

Users only need to re-update the program to use it.

This upgrade is also very simple, only adding one function - [Recharge]!

Yes, the days when [auditions] were free to use are over.

Users must choose to recharge and become a [Member] before they are eligible to continue using the [Audition] software.

There are several options for recharging, monthly card is 15 yuan, quarterly card is 40 yuan, and annual card is 150 yuan.

Except for new users!

New users have a 7-day free trial period, and recommended new users can also add a 7-day free trial period, which can be stacked and has no upper limit.

It is said that there is no upper limit, but in fact there is.

After all, the total population is there.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………

There is no doubt that after this software upgrade, the feedback from users has been great.

Many people like to have sex for free.

After they couldn't use the [Audition] software, they deleted it angrily. People who are experienced in free sex would go online to look for the so-called [Cracked Version]. Haha, even big companies haven't been able to crack [Audition] yet. Software, how can talented people and strangers on the Internet do it? Instead, a bunch of scammers have sprung up, using the sign of [Audition·Cracked Version], but they are actually trying to sell dog meat, defrauding traffic, and more seriously, injecting Virus software, scamming money.

After they suffered a loss, their resentment became even greater, and they posted comments criticizing the [Audition] software on WeChat Moments or Weibo.

A nicer person would say that the software is charged and is not suitable for poor people like me. I am destined to have no connection. I will delete it. In the future, I can only go to offline fittings more and treat it as exercise... and so on.

The more unpleasant ones will say, what kind of broken software, how dare you charge for this little function, take jujube pills, etc.

It has to be said that since 360 ​​launched free anti-virus software, free has become a domestic trend, and piracy has emerged one after another. Consumers have become accustomed to this situation-free ones are what they should be, and paid ones are all here to suck blood.

When people with lofty ideals in China laugh at India's generic drugs, they fail to remember that in fact, the Microsoft computer programs used by many people are also pirated.

Such is the case in the Internet age.

How popular the free [auditions] were back then, so how much resistance has there been to the paid [auditions] now.

The amplification effect of the Internet is terrifying.

Suddenly, it seemed like the entire Internet was flooded with criticism of [audition] fees, and countless users chose to delete the software.

From time to time, big V posts on the Internet discuss this matter, which is actually to attract traffic.

One of the big Vs said that in fact, the current [Audition] software is the same as the early [Penguin]. Users continue to increase, traffic continues to increase, but there is no way to monetize it, and the operating costs brought by the increase in users are It’s getting higher and higher, so high that the company can’t continue to operate.

This was the case with [Penguin] back then. The company had firmly established itself as the number one company in the country socially, but the company had reached a point where the founder wanted to sell it.

This big V said that he could understand the pressure faced by [Audition] software operating companies. Users continued to increase and costs were rising. However, he never found a channel to monetize, so he chose the crude [Recharge], which aroused the general public's attention. Violent resistance from users.

This may be a common thing in Europe and the United States, but due to my country's national conditions, it is still in the stage of a developing country and its development is unbalanced, so it is difficult to continue charging.

Even [Penguin], which has the largest number of users in the country, chooses the [free + paid] model. Basic services are free, and value-added services are charged.

At the end of the sentence, the big V suggested that [audition] software-related companies should not be short-sighted, take a long-term view, consolidate their own foundation step by step, and seek multiple cooperation channels, such as cooperation with various e-commerce giants, so that they can embark on the right path. .

[Audition] After the software was upgraded and became chargeable, it triggered a backlash from many users, and the news became a hot search on Weibo.
