Chapter 645

The executive made some "shameless" wonderful remarks, which calmed everyone present. However, although this proposal was "shameless", several executives agreed with this practice.

"I agree that if wechat is downloaded from our Google play app stores, we should withdraw the platform service fee regardless of the revenue generated by any small programs on wechat.

Otherwise, we should even consider taking wechat off the shelf. After all, we have an agreement on Google play that prohibits any application on the shelf from nesting other applications inside the application. Wechat is now in violation of this agreement. If we take this as a legal basis to initiate a lawsuit against Huizhong, we are fully confident of winning the lawsuit! "

It is forbidden to nest other apps within the apps on the shelf, which is the agreement they have in Google play and various app stores.

But is a small program an application? If this goes to court, I'm afraid the quarrel between the two sides will not come to fruition for several years.

In addition, with the current user scale and influence of wechat, they must consider the consequences of suing wechat and Huizhong and getting off the wechat.

An application with nearly 1.8 billion users worldwide? I'm kidding. If they really want to do this without the mandatory policy of the government, they must tear their face with wechat and Huizhong. At that time, Huizhong and Google will go to war in an all-round way. Who will win?

Will users support wechat that they contact their relatives, friends, customers and colleagues every day, or Google that only uses when they want to search for something?

To tell the truth, although Google was born more than ten years earlier than wechat, Google executives really don't have this confidence. Don't you see that Yahoo, which appeared earlier than Google, has gradually been abandoned? If wechat embeds Bing and other search engines inside, I'm afraid Google's market share will have to lose more than half overnight!

"It is reasonable that the policy of Apple's Appstore store is stricter than ours. Why has Apple been indifferent to the launch of wechat apps so far? Have they reached some kind of agreement privately?" an executive asked with some doubts.

The words of this executive triggered the reflection of all executives on the scene. Yes, Apple's platform policy has always been more conservative and stricter than them, but why did apple not move this time?

Although apple is one of the shareholders of Huizhong, Apple should not be generous enough to let Huizhong take its own interests.

In fact, as early as before Huizhong released the wechat applet at the global developer conference last year, the directors representing Apple's interests on Huizhong's board of directors raised objections face to face and reported to Apple headquarters and CEO cook.

Later, cook specifically called Fang Zhe to question the matter. After they called for an hour, cook and apple acquiesced in the launch of wechat applet.

Fang zhe "persuaded" cook and apple for three reasons at that time: 1. Wechat applet is just an applet, not a nested application prohibited by apple. Its user experience and program depth do not threaten the head app that contributes major revenue to apple.

2. Applets are more complementary and draining to native apps. More than 90% of Internet companies that have operated native app applications cannot give up native apps and transplant them to applets.

3. One of the purposes of wechat applet is to activate a large number of wechat users, break through the platform obstacles of Android and IOS, and enable more tail applications in traditional app stores such as app store to get better traffic.

The current number of users of wechat has determined that it is necessary to do this. Even if Apple prevents and opposes, wechat will insist on doing this. Huizhong has made all preparations for this.

If the first two reasons can also be seen as Fang Zhe and Huizhong trying to convince cook and apple, then the third reason is that Fang Zhe and Huizhong are a little self-centered and do it if they don't accept it.

"Huizhong's wings are hard!" this was cook's first thought after hanging up the phone.

The idea belongs to the idea, but Kux has repeatedly acquiesced to the launch of wechat applet by wechat, because Apple, like Google now, can't afford to go to war with Huizhong.

Both Google and apple are dissatisfied with the launch of wechat apps, but they both choose to bite their teeth and swallow them.

Because today's Huizhong is not the Huizhong they could handle at will a few years ago. Even if they can sue Huizhong on the grounds that wechat violates the platform agreement, I'm afraid Huizhong will file a counterclaim against them on the pretext that the applet is not an application and the platform is over monopolized.

As for how long the hand of the platform should be extended, Internet companies and developers in the whole Internet industry have been fighting against several app stores and platforms. If they are gathered together, apple and Google will lose more than they gain.

Google executives shot for a while, but ended up with nothing. They all understand that Huizhong and wechat have become the general trend, and they can't stop the expansion of wechat applets.

Therefore, in the end, as sandar Pichai said, the method of joining if you can't beat it may be a better strategy. If Google also makes applets, won't it be able to share a lot of cake from wechat applets?

In addition, both Google's Google play and Apple's Appstore have begun to test the click to use technology in the app store. If the applications in their app store can be used without downloading, wouldn't the advantages of wechat apps be one less layer.

The launch of wechat applet has caused waves among major companies in the global Internet industry. The war between Huizhong and traditional app store giants such as apple and Google, which was expected by netizens, did not appear.

On the contrary, both apple and Google have announced that they will launch something similar to small programs in their own app stores or applications. Even the two giants silently imitate and follow, not to mention other Internet companies? Including foreign Amazon, domestic bat and other companies, have also begun to announce that they want to develop their own small programs.

For a while, applet has become one of the hottest topics in the global Internet industry, and many practitioners in the Internet industry have begun to understand that Huizhong has gradually become a leader from the identity of industry challenger.

The update of wechat 4.0 and the public beta of wechat applet have triggered a storm for more than half a month around the world before gradually calming down. Under the appearance of calm, many Internet entrepreneurs rush into the applet industry to dig gold.

By the middle of June, Fang zhe told Li Wen about the cooperation between Xiaomi, Huawei, MediaTek, Qualcomm and SMIC.

On the morning of June 17, Derek aboli, President of Qualcomm, appeared in Fang Zhe's office.

Over the past six months, Derek aboli has been running around to solve Qualcomm's antitrust investigation in China. When he learned that Fang Zhe, the influential founder of Huizhong in China and the world's richest man, wanted to meet him, he quickly ran to the door.
