Chapter 132 UC is about to collapse
A month ago, Lu Shan tried to open an advertising platform on the Jiyue browser and connected some merchants.
Most of these businesses are online games and branded clothing.
Jiyue’s precise delivery has indeed enabled businesses to achieve better results.
Lu Shan also earned more than 1 yuan in advertising fees.
Unfortunately, the good times are not long.
Just when Lu Shan was taking on a lot of advertisements.
The Jiyue browser was accurately killed by UC and was eventually removed from the Symbian system.
These advertisers found that suddenly there were no clicks.
Moreover, there is no way to run the Geek Browser on the Symbian system.
Everyone is very worried that the operating company of Jiyue Browser will run away.
So he frantically contacted Lu Shan a month ago, hoping to get his advertising fees back and cancel the contract between the two parties.
In fact, many businesses do not have hope for this.
Everyone had already made plans for Lu Shan to run away.
Just forget about the loss of tens of thousands of dollars in advertising fees.
But I didn’t know that Jiyue Browser is very trustworthy.
The advertising fee was refunded in full and the contract was terminated immediately.
In addition, a certain amount of compensation was given in accordance with the breach of contract clause signed by both parties.
Lu Shan's approach has also been recognized and praised by merchants.
This established Lu Shan’s credibility in everyone’s mind.
There are also some businesses that don’t invest much in advertising, just a few thousand or ten thousand yuan.
These businesses were originally advertising on a large application software, and they had anticipated the possibility that some of the software would run away. In addition, they did not have much money, and they were probably busy with their own mistakes, so they were too lazy to terminate the contract.
As a result, during this period of time.
All Huawei mobile phones are pre-installed with the Extreme Browser.
All mobile phones sold by China Unicom also come pre-installed with the Jiyue browser.
The number of users of Jiyue Browser has skyrocketed, and the daily active volume has also skyrocketed.
Many advertisers who did not cancel their cooperation agreements with Lushan suddenly received a wave of traffic.
The advertising effect is very good.
This sudden wealth made these merchants extremely happy.
The merchant only has the contact information of Jiyue Browser email.
They immediately contacted Lu Shan via email.
Some hope to extend the contract.
Some hope to renegotiate contracts and increase advertising costs in order to increase the number of push users and improve exposure.
More emails come from merchants who have never cooperated with Jiyue Browser, as well as some intermediary advertising platforms.
They keenly noticed that Jiyue Browser is better than UC Browser.
Moreover, Jiyue Browser was able to get support from Warwick and asked China Unicom to require that all mobile phones sold must be pre-installed with it.
This means that Jiyue Browser has a strong background.
In the next one or two years, it is reasonable that Jiyue Browser will replace UC and become the browser with the largest number of users and the largest market share in the mobile Internet.
At that time, if you wanted to cooperate with Jiyue and push your own ads on Jiyue browser, the price would definitely be several times higher than it is now.
So the merchants quickly contacted Lu Shan by email, hoping that Lu Shan could promote their advertisements.
Merchants who had previously worked with Lu Shan even directly transferred the advance advertising fees to him and then pushed the contract to Lu Shan.
As long as Lu Shan signs, he will get the advertising fee.
Everyone believes in Lu Shan's character and the integrity of Jiyue Browser.
The last time the contract was terminated, Jiyue Browser was willing to refund the fees.
So this time the fee will be paid to Jiyue Browser in advance.
If the level browser fails to fulfill the agreement, the money will be refunded.
99+ emails.
Lu Shan also read and replied to every letter carefully.
As for expanding the advertising business of Jiyue Browser, Lu Shan has not yet made up his mind.
In fact, it’s not that I haven’t thought about the problem.
The most crucial factor is that there is only Lu Shan in Ji Yue Company now.
Lu Shan spent more than an hour just reading emails.
Time is very precious to Lu Shan.
He didn't want to waste his time on such business activities.
If we want to restart the advertising business of Jiyue Browser and negotiate with more merchants.
That will take quite some time.
Lu Shan looked at the empty office.
Decided to expand the team.
He now has a candidate in mind, Zheng Kaige, a student from the School of Computer Science who is already in his first year of graduate school and will soon be in his second year and will face the job search in the future.
Zheng Kaige's family is relatively poor and he is a down-to-earth person.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been spending time on Lu Shan's project just for the 400 yuan monthly subsidy after everyone else had left.
And after Lu Shan's observation over this period of time.
He found that Zheng Kaige had a very big advantage, which was that he was very steady in doing things.
Whether you encounter difficulties or surprises.
They can all remain calm and handle problems properly.
Such outstanding talents are extremely rare.
Lu Shan plans to find time to have a good talk with Zheng Kaige.
Let’s leave the matter of Jiyue Company to Zheng Kaige first.
Salary and benefits are negotiable.
After all, we now have a hen like Huaxun Company that can lay eggs for a long time.
When it comes to cash, Lu Shan doesn't have to worry too much.
It is certain that Huaxun Communication Services Company will allow Lu Shan to achieve a certain degree of financial freedom.
After replying to the email, Lu Shan ate a bowl of noodles downstairs and took a stroll in the university town as a walk to digest the food before returning to the company's suite to rest.
He entered the Singularity Lab with the books.
Of course, it would be more meaningful to share such excellent classic works with Poincare.
This wave of Jiyue browser and base station layout algorithm earned Lu Shan a lot of points.
【Cumulative points: 】
According to the current progress, it shouldn't take long to accumulate 1000 points.
He is very interested in the next scientist hero.
At this moment, at the UC headquarters in Yangcheng, Ke Xiaopeng and all the company's executives are working overtime.
Anxiety and worry were written on his face.
Yesterday was the day that UC and IDG agreed to sign the contract.
But IDG has not responded to UC yet.
The contract I took back has not been responded to yet.
At the beginning, Ke Xiaopeng was still relatively optimistic.
IDG is considered to be a world-renowned venture capital institution.
The headquarters of the Asia region is located in Yanjing, Xia Kingdom.
The company will definitely be very busy.
Uc is just an ordinary case in IDG's entire investment layout, so it is normal to be delayed for a day or two.
But I have been waiting since yesterday until tonight.
There has been no news from Idg about any contract agreement being signed.
At the same time, the news about Huawei mobile phones and China Unicom selling mobile phones pre-installed with Jiyue Browser has been gaining momentum in the entire communications market.
This also made Ke Xiaopeng feel very nervous.
The top management of Ke Xiaopeng UC is very clear about this.
Based on Xia Country’s current population base and consumption level.
The core base of mobile phone users is not the younger generation or the so-called successful people who buy smartphones.
Instead, they are the majority of users who buy counterfeit mobile phones or ordinary brand non-smartphones that cooperate with telecommunications companies.
They are the core of Xiaguo's mobile phone market.
Ke Xiaopeng seriously suspected that Idg had seen the relevant news, so they deliberately delayed the signing of the contract with UC.
"Mr. Ke from IDG has responded!"
Ke Xiaopeng looked at the documents handed over by the secretary.
His face suddenly darkened.
Ke Xiaopeng and Pete have a good personal relationship.
Logically speaking, Pete should have called him personally to explain such important matters as whether the contract should be signed, when it should be signed, and why it had not been signed by the agreed time.
But it was a pity that Pete didn't call.
Instead, IDG Xiaguo District Headquarters sent the email in the form of an official letter.
Although the email is not very long, the problem has been explained very clearly.
IDG clearly informed UC that it had noticed some fluctuations in the mobile Internet browser market.
The outlook for UC's future was adjusted from positive to negative.
So we will observe for three months to six months before making a decision.
After reading the email, Ke Xiaopeng threw the document on the table.
His face turned pale and he felt panicky.
Why is UC so anxious to get the third round of financing? Because UC has no money.
uc wants to package itself and promote uc browser more.
After getting the first and second rounds of financing, we spent a lot of money.
A large part of this money was spent on UC building its headquarters in Guangzhou.
A large part of it was spent on the promotion of UC browser.
More money is spent on various Internet scientific research projects.
Ke Xiaopeng hopes to create more projects similar to UC so that it can always stay in the first echelon in the mobile Internet market.
But unfortunately, after investing millions of dollars in many Internet projects, there were no scientific research results and all the innovative projects went bankrupt.
Although UC's market share is very high now, its users are also very active.
But in fact, it is already a spent force.
Ke Xiaopeng no longer had any money to burn.
If you can't get financing again.
Many Uc projects will be suspended.
All kinds of promotions will come to an abrupt end.
The executives were silent.
One look at the condition of Ke Xiaopeng revealed that the situation was extremely pessimistic.
They secretly took a look at the file on the desktop, which was from the IDG email.
Everyone felt as if they were falling into an ice cellar and broke out in a cold sweat.
IDG adjusted UC's future rating from positive outlook to negative.
And they are given an observation period of three to six months.
These three months without funds were like the end of UC’s life.
"Boss Ke!"
Marketing Director Liu Ye couldn't help but shout.
This shout woke Ke Xiaopeng up.
Ke Xiaopeng took the wet tissue handed to him by his secretary and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He left the meeting room with his cell phone; he was going to call Pete.
Ask IDG in detail why it terminated the negotiations.
Even if you already have an expectation in your heart.
But this matter is not clarified.
He never felt at ease.
After Ke Xiaopeng left the meeting room.
Everyone started discussing it immediately.
"IDG adjusted our future outlook to negative. Why? Is it because of the Extreme Browser?"
“Wasn’t the Jiyue browser developed by a college student?”
"Why did they suddenly cooperate with Huawei? China Unicom also supports this browser!"
"What is the background of this college student?"
As for Ke Xiaopeng, he made countless calls, but Pete didn't answer.
He returned to the meeting room very frustrated and angry.
Some senior executives gave their opinions after discussion.
"CEO Ke, IDG must have terminated the negotiations because of the Jiyue Browser!"
"Nokia won't cooperate with this kind of rogue browser, so why would Huawei and China Unicom do the opposite?"
"That's right, Mr. Ke, I think we need to tell Huawei, China Unicom and other mobile phone manufacturers about the illegal use of user privacy by Jiyue Browser!"
