But how to make money? Is it a free model or a registration fee model? This is really a problem. Duke scratched his head, and the preliminary test was so successful that the response caused was also very good.

Even if Duke has low emotional intelligence, he knows that his voice recognition input software is destined to end an era. Once it is launched, it will undoubtedly be a very popular mass product. If you register and charge a fee, you should be able to make a lot of money?

Even though the software now only supports input in two languages, Chinese and English, these two languages ​​are indeed the largest number of people in the world. According to incomplete statistics, the number of English speakers exceeds one-third of the global population, which is more than 2 billion people. There is no need to worry about the number of Chinese people calculating more than 1.4 billion. Well, even if you remove the repeated calculations of Chinese and English, it is not an exaggeration to calculate the total amount of 3 billion in the two languages?

It’s 3 billion. Even if the computer penetration rate is only 30%, there are nearly one billion users. Registration fee is cheaper, a piece of software costs ten yuan. This price is less than a box of lunch. It’s cheaper. Conservatively, one-third of computer users choose this software. The potential customers will be in hundreds of millions. On the basis of such a terrifying customer, the potential revenue is more than one billion?

Duke calculated slightly, and was shocked by the result. The potential income of this software is too amazing, right? By doing this, can it be said that he is already a quasi-billionaire? Poor Duke's word "billionaire" flashed through his mind, and his heart twitched. Is this a little too fast?

Otherwise, China's education failed, as a graduate student in an engineering department at a famous university, even his imagination of getting rich was imprisoned, and he would be surprised by the idea of ​​becoming a billionaire.

Look at other people's children - Dell decisively dropped out of school at the age of 20 and ran on the road of a billionaire. Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard University at the age of 22 to found Microsoft, realizing his ideal of becoming a billionaire at the age of 25. Of course, this was a little earlier. In fact, it was not achieved until he was thirty-one, but later he dominated the global billionaire list for thirteen years. OK.

These are a bit old. Look at Mark Zuckerberg, a magical boy who dropped out of Harvard University recently. He is only 26 years old and has a net worth of over 6 billion. He is still increasing every day until now!

After reading the experience of these amazing boys making a fortune, looking back at Duke, you have to sigh that domestic education is still too conservative. Mr. Deng once said that science and technology are the primary productive forces. Many people think it is just a slogan, but they really understand it too superficially.

Bill can sell the world's richest man by selling software CDs. Mark Zuckerberg is even more outrageous. He doesn't sell anything, so he gives everyone a message to communicate and see each other's Facebook websites and play them together, and they accumulate huge wealth like rockets.

Of course, if it is made into a paid software, this thing needs to be encrypted and registered, but once there is encryption, there will be pirated versions, even a few yuan fee is no exception. For many people, the concept of being able to do it for free will never pay money is deeply rooted in people's hearts, especially domestic users, which has become a distorted concept.

So so far, no great software company has been born in China. The soil for survival is too bad. After this calculation, Duke originally calculated the number of hundreds of millions of users, but how many of them can receive real money is really not a accurate number. Have you heard of how many individual users buy genuine operating systems separately?

Apart from pre-installation, there are almost no such thing as being scolded. Yes, you read that right. Now you are really willing to spend money to buy an authentic operating system. I wonder how many people scold you. Using authentic is glorious, but buying authentic is stupid. This is the national situation.

Duke is so troublesome when he thinks of countless pirated decryption versions appearing. In this endless cat and mouse game of encrypted decryption, a large amount of resources are completely consumed to provide users with value-added functions that are not related to.

It is completely incomprehensible to Kerry, a smart computer. In its world, there is no concept of encryption and decryption. Even wars in their starry sky are ancient memories from hundreds of years ago. Therefore, don’t expect Kerry to have any unique secrets in encryption and decryption. Knowledge in this area is equal to zero.

Duke has to rely on providing the basic knowledge of encryption and decryption on the earth to deduce and improve from scratch. Therefore, for Kerry, this part of the work is more difficult than developing speech recognition technology. Moreover, in terms of input methods, the whole world is almost used to free, and it seems that it is really difficult to charge money. It would be okay if it is a closed environment like an iPhone, but for ordinary PC platforms, this situation is really much more complicated!

On the one hand, it is the bright golden money situation, but on the other hand, it is the difficulty of charging for thorns, so Duke couldn't help but feel a little confused.

If you focus on millions and tens of millions, Duke will build a sharing software and put it on the mobile platform. The two major platforms of Android and Apple iOS alone are enough.

However, even though the market of hundreds of millions of PC platform cannot dig out billions of wealth, I really feel ashamed of such an epoch-making software.

But how can we dig out these theoretical wealth? Duke had no idea for a while. Fortunately, Duke has never been a battle. In times of crisis, Cai Siqiang and Dong Feng, who are close friends, naturally have to possess their souls.

"Caicai, madman, I have developed a software with powerful functions. Now I want to set up a company to operate it, but now I don't know what model to charge. If I choose to register and charge, I'm worried that the piracy will be too fierce and work for the profiteers in vain. Do you see if there is any good way?"

Duke made an appointment with Cai Siqiang and Dong Feng at home and said straight to the point that Duke was not polite to the two of them, and did not expect that his thoughts were too sudden. This shows that someone's emotional intelligence really has a lot of room for improvement.

"What, set up a company? Duke, are you going to start a business?" Cai Siqiang and Dong Feng were both confused by Duke's words.

Since Duke came down from West Ridge, the facts of his actions during this period are very different from those before, and it can even be said to be too weird. He had previously claimed to go to MIT, but he said that he had not seen any action afterwards;

Immediately, I started an inexplicable online job - I seemed to receive money, and then I felt like I was stimulated. I started to study and tinker with voice recognition all night long. I heard that I still took the Gre exam, but no one knew what Duke's Gre exam result was. However, judging from what company Duke said today, the Gre results would definitely not be ideal. It seems that MIT has become a cloud.

Regarding Duke's erratic idea of ​​fishing for three days and running on the internet for two days, Cai Siqiang and Dong Feng felt that it was necessary to remind Duke from the perspective of a friend, and they should not be depressed when they look at this friend.

"Duke, we don't have any opinions on your business, but even if you start a business, you should pay attention to planning." Dong Feng tried to make things more tactful. He was really worried that Duke's temperament had changed, and now he is a little paranoid.

"You see, the little money you make is not easy. Nowadays, there are many people who run companies, but few can survive, basically none of them. You have to think clearly about this, think twice before doing it, and don't work hard and all of them are wasted."
