Chapter 140: #140 - Online literature industry layout and geek smartphone system update

“Since you insist, then I have no objections.”

Lei Bus made his decision.

Remember the first website domain name 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞

Gao Nian hadn't missed anything. Since Gao Nian insisted so much, then let it be. Anyway, Geek Company could afford to burn the money.

Regarding this, Gao Nian didn't stop his words, and then continued to say:

“After the data issues are resolved, the next problem is the algorithm. The essence of algorithms is mathematics.

Next, we need to recruit a large number of well-known mathematicians, even top mathematicians, from both domestic and international sources with high salaries.

After all, whether it is to develop intelligent voice technology, facial recognition technology, or true general artificial intelligence technology, a large number of mathematicians are needed.”

“That's no problem. Those mathematicians just want money and fame. We can give them that.”

Lei Bus said readily. Geek Technology Company could afford to support many mathematicians, and it must be able to support many mathematicians.

Because the essence of computers is ultimately algorithms.

If Geek Technology Company wants to go further, it must develop its own exclusive patented algorithms and pave its own path, leaving others with no way to go.

So, whether from the current point of view or from a long-term perspective, Geek Technology Company does need a large number of mathematicians.

Even if some top mathematicians demand an annual salary of millions of dollars, Lei Bus would definitely be willing to give it.

Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

During this month, Geek Technology Company's big moves never stopped.

First, it spent 1 billion to buy Shengda Literature from Shengda Company, officially taking down this company that occupied 70% of the online literature market share.

Then, it spent 700 million to acquire Keda Xunfei Company and privatize it, completing the wholly-owned acquisition.

It can be said that Geek Technology Company, which spent billion in just one month, directly triggered a heated discussion in the domestic technology circle.

Of course, both of these acquisitions were profitable.

First of all, in terms of Shengda Literature, this company holds several novel websites, including Qidian, occupying 70% of the market share, and its annual revenue is also a little over 100 million yuan.

Geek Technology Company's acquisition of it is not considered a loss. At worst, it would take about ten years to recover the costs.

Of course, it won't actually take that long.

Because with the terrifying traffic diversion effect of Geek Technology Company's many internet products, more users will naturally lead to more revenue.

In addition, Geek Technology Company can also play the film and television IP model and the Chinese novel English localization strategy, allowing Chinese online literature to go to the world.

Because the previous life proved that overseas people still like to read Chinese online novels.

In this case, in reality, Geek Technology Company can recover its costs in at most one or two years.

After that, Geek Literature business will, like Geek Games business and Geek Comics business, continuously contribute profits to Geek Technology Company!

Regarding this, although the experts on the internet cannot see the wonderful future and money prospects of film and television IP and Chinese online literature being sold overseas.

But they also predicted the terrifying effect of Geek Technology's internet product traffic diversion, and naturally praised Geek Technology Company for making a profit by buying Shengda Literature for 1 billion.

Afterwards, they also complained about why Shengda Company didn't quote a higher price, because they felt that Shengda Company's quotation of billion or even 2 billion, Geek Technology Company would most likely agree to it.

Regarding this, Shengda Company actually had unspeakable suffering.

Because when the negotiations between the two sides fell into a stalemate, Gao Nian sent someone over to convey his words, and then directly shocked Shengda Company.

This sentence was, “If you don’t sell, then we will use this 1 billion yuan to build our own novel website!”

Faced with Gao Nian's domineering words, Shengda Company retreated.

Because Geek Technology Company has Geek Chat, Geek Computer Security Butler, Geek Farm, including other games and products, to continuously divert traffic.

If Geek Technology Company really takes out 1 billion yuan to buy novel authors, then it will definitely make the novel authors crazy, and then create a number one novel website.

In this case, rather than selling it when it is worthless in the future, it is better to sell Shengda Literature while it is still worth money now!

Thus, Geek Technology Company unknowingly became the appearance that Gao Nian once hated.

Of course, not to mention what happened in the past month, at this time, time has quietly come to November 25, 2009.

Geek Technology Company quietly released the Geek Smart Phone System at 8 pm on this day, and then prompted users to update the system.

This Geek Smart Phone System mainly updated and maintained the previous generation system, adding many practical functions.

Then the most important new function is naturally the 'facial recognition' function!

Beautiful Country, Pingguo Company Headquarters, President's Office.

“Knock knock knock!”

Anxious knocking sounds came from the door, forcing Pingguo President Jobs and Pingguo General Manager Cook to stop talking.

“Please come in.”

Saying politely, Jobs looked at the person who came and found that the person was his secretary.

“President, Geek Technology Company had a big move half an hour ago.”

“Big move? A desperate struggle?”

Cook sneered, with a look of watching a good show in his eyes.

Although comprehensively, the sales volume of the Geek S2 smart phone is more than twice that of the iPhone4 phone.

The current sales volume of the iPhone4 phone still has a long way to go to catch up with the Geek S2 smart phone, but the gap between the iPhone phone and the Geek smart phone is getting smaller and smaller. This is already a fact.

This situation of rapid growth on our side and the enemy standing still or even slightly falling gave Pingguo Company great confidence from top to bottom.

It gave Pingguo Company a kind of arrogant mentality of pointing out the country and being stronger in the future.

“What’s the situation, tell me.”

Jobs did not have the mentality of overlooking the Geek smart phone like Cook, but instead attached great importance to Geek Technology Company.

“Geek Technology Company suddenly released and launched the Geek Smart Phone System version half an hour ago.”

“Geek Smart Phone System version?”

Jobs and Cook were also a little curious when they heard this, and then took a document handed over by the secretary and looked at it.

This document is the update introduction of the Geek Smart Phone System version.

Many of the updates above are more practical updates or new functions, and there is no phenomenon of many companies in the previous life having nothing to do and often updating the operating interface.

Because Gao Nian adheres to the Occam's razor principle for system updates. If there is no need or the improvement is not significant, then don't do it.

This will only waste labor costs, and the effect is not necessarily better.

For example, the domestic smart phones in the previous life liked to update the system very much.

This update to the system also likes to randomly change the operating interface and operating methods.

If this is also the case, the problem is that randomly changing the operating interface and operating methods does not make it better, but makes it worse.

Because after users are used to an operating interface and operating method, changing it will incur learning costs, making the experience of old users very poor.

This is actually a behavior of having nothing to do, and then having to find something for the R\u0026D personnel to do, which ultimately harms the users.

Therefore, the updates of the Geek Smart Phone System are more practical updates, and the new functions are also more practical functions.
