Chapter 204 Building an Application Ecological Chain

Duke did not expect that Cai Siqiang had basically solved the acquisition fund issue, because everyone was very busy during this period and Duke had already assigned the bottom line of negotiations to Cai Siqiang, so he would not interfere with Cai Siqiang's work at any time. Therefore, everyone communicated with each other during this period, and some problems of lack of information communication are inevitable.

However, even if Cai Siqiang can find funds, Duke does not want to place ownership of this behemoth entirely on the domestic sal. For well-known reasons, Duke does not want to put all the eggs in one basket.[]

Especially this is his biggest golden egg recently, although Sal is essentially in control. Duke believes that it is basically a matter of time to cooperate with the Nokia brand and the latest design of superior products, and the mobile phone business is popular, and in this vast world, the benefits obtained are by no means comparable to those of the marginal products such as navigation devices.

Therefore, Duke plans to acquire Nokia through its own Duke-shu company based in Luxembourg. The headquarters of the newly acquired mobile phone company can be located in Chengdu, but in terms of ownership, it is better to distribute it to various places. At that time, it will be jointly held in the name of Duke-shu Luxembourg company, Sirius Company and Sal Company.

Although the development momentum of mi is also very good and the concept of brain wave helmet is avant-garde enough, the product market space is obviously not on the same order of magnitude as mobile phones. Although Clement has begun to expand into medical auxiliary products, it is unlikely that he will achieve much success for the time being.

So Duke hopes to replace some shares of Mi Company into shares in the mobile phone business, which is based on the consideration of maximizing interests.

Originally, Duke thought it would take some verbal words to convince Shu Ya, but who knew that Shu Ya nodded and agreed to sell part of the equity for funds after just asking a few questions, so Duke was relieved to hand over this matter to Shu Ya for handling. Now American venture capital companies are chasing Mi to invest, but Shu Ya has never agreed. Now, due to the urgent need for funds to sell part of the equity, it must be a pie from the sky for these venture capital companies.

Of course, we need to discuss the price again. Jingming Shuya will definitely not transfer it at a low price easily. She wants to conduct a formal evaluation of mi with professionals.

After this matter is explained, Duke will no longer care about how these are achieved. After cashing out $2 billion, he feels that the problem of acquisition funds has basically been solved. If the acquisition is successful, a prototype will be basically built at the front end of the mobile phone business ecosystem chain, with support from R&D to production and sales.

Now it’s time to prepare for the back-end application ecosystem.

In his plan, Duke Laboratory in Rongcheng is a promotion base to solve the problem of technology output sources, but it is necessary to form a large application development tribe in the short term. It is obviously too slow to promote it by relying solely on this.

In this case, the online crowdsourcing platform acquired by Jian Lixinxi appeared in Duke's vision. Although the company looks good alone, it currently relies on the original programming community to gather the popularity of more than one million developers, and the total number of crowdsourcing business contracted by third parties has also developed to a level of hundreds of millions of dollars.

As a third-party development platform business for outsourcing companies, it has only started for a while and not many companies are actually adopting it.

Compared with the rapid development of mi and sal, this online crowdsourcing platform is still in the stage of investing money in it, and there is no way to say that it is income. Although its valuation is constantly changing and Duke's investment is constantly increasing on the books, it is impossible to see the cash flow balance within two or three years.

Fortunately, Duke has decided to invest in the mobile phone business field. The abundant R&D human resources on this platform have become an important part of Duke's future mobile phone ecosystem chain plan. It is time to make it work.

In terms of how to use this crowdsourcing platform to achieve its goals, Duke has gradually developed a problem in his mind, that is, to build this platform into the largest base for the development of new mobile phone system applications. The development of new mobile phone systems is not difficult. Duke believes that only needs to put the development guide on it and then provide some open source demonstration applications for various applications. These smart R&D personnel can quickly learn to develop on this new platform.

The new company will try its best to provide these R&D personnel with various favorable conditions, such as the future application app market entrance is on this crowdsourcing platform. As long as the R&D personnel successfully develop an application on this platform and pass some certification, they can be directly pushed to the new mobile application platform.

Concentrate development, testing, verification, release and maintenance together to form an integrated R&D chain system.

As for the charging and management of applications, Apple and jade are the first to do so, it is basically difficult for Duke to make better improvements to this perfect system, so just copy this part and use it directly.

If there is a difference, it is that Duke is not going to use this platform to make money. Even if he will charge developers some fees at that time, it will be used back to various developers to provide value-added services such as testing and promotion to help developers become more successful.

From a functional perspective, this online crowdsourcing platform can provide a virtual development and testing environment, which is most appropriate for promoting Duke's expected mobile application development. At that time, Duke can only package the new system application and become a complete development and testing environment and promote it through this platform, which greatly simplifies the developer's environmental preparation work.

More importantly, Duke hopes to form a complete R&D chain on this platform, concentrating R&D and operations, and verify quality through this platform to solve the problem of uneven quality of online applications.

In other words, Duke hopes to build a third-party power on this platform, conduct a quality control over the online applications of future mobile platforms, and ensure that the online applications have a certain quality level.

In this regard, and

The oid platform is actually a bad precedent. Due to its strong openness and the numerous competitive download markets, many applications with varying quality are mixed in. Moreover, there is a lack of a unified application portal, which makes it very difficult for developers to promote the market. After the application development is successful, it is generally necessary to upload repeatedly in more than ten download markets and then wait for approval.

A lot of time is wasted to communicate with various personnel. For many individual developers, if the version is updated frequently, the time taken by this work can even be equal to the development time. Moreover, there is no unified support environment in terms of charges and advertisers, which makes personal income not effectively guaranteed.

Duke hopes that future application platforms can solve these disadvantages, but obviously it is impossible to rely on the power of the company. Think about it, if hundreds of thousands of applications pour into the application platform, how many people will have to be recruited to complete such a arduous quality certification task.

However, if this certification work becomes a crowdsourcing platform business, then all this will not be difficult.

Duke is not planning to charge so-called application development registration fees, but hopes to transfer this fee to the quality entrance inspection process of the crowdsourcing platform, and supports a group of individuals and studios who undergo quality inspection and certification on the crowdsourcing platform. In this way, the crowdsourcing platform not only has a long-term business revenue channel, but also has a new way to control application quality.

For a large number of individual developers, this method is undoubtedly very imaginative.

What needs to be considered now is how much money the application developers need to pay for this to be willing to use this service. On the other hand, how much does this quality inspection service cost to attract a large number of professionals specializing in this business.

Moreover, what level does this certification test need to achieve to balance the relationship between quality and efficiency?

This concept has many details left by many. For example, the cost of testing and certification for large-scale game applications should be different from simple applications, so this involves the level classification of an application.

Similarly, individuals engaged in testing and certification should also be different from studios. They need to have a control mechanism to ensure that these testing and certifications can only choose the part they are good at. This also involves a complex testing and certification management. However, these problems also show a new opportunity for Duke. If he can solve them well, then although his mobile application platform is a latecomer, it may not be possible to come from behind.

Duke recorded these thoughts and quickly sorted them into a draft report, preparing to hand them over to the sal team and the online crowdsourcing platform team to further study the relevant details. Now Duke has many excellent teams under his command. Whether it is research and development or management, many things do not have to be done by Duke himself. Now Duke should be the time to do it himself.

More often, Duke must begin to see himself as a leader, and should adapt to the direction of progress for most of the time just to indicate the direction of progress for the enterprise or R&D work, and then leave the energy to solve key problems by himself.

In this regard, Duke has few opportunities to do it consciously. Because he has devoted himself to the research of nuclear reaction simulation programs recently, he is almost in a semi-closed state, which has temporarily left Duke's contact with various teams of its company. When Duke comes back, he finds that everything is not going bad without himself.
