After Lenovo Kingsoft's software park was launched, they contacted most of the software companies in the world. They hope these companies will sell their software on their platforms. This is to increase the variety and quantity of their products.
This platform did not only have a Chinese version. The English version, Russian version, German version, French version, Japanese version, and many other versions were released on the same day. There were also many other language versions that were released later.
Lenovo Kingsoft does not cover all the languages in the world, but most of the language versions are included. It's just that some websites are bigger, and some are smaller. With such a large investment, the demand for products is very high.
Other than Microsoft, IBM, and many other companies, Japan's Softbank is also one of the companies. Although Softbank does not have the support of a top software company, they have the most investments in the IT industry. They own the majority of software companies, and no one dares to ignore them.
Lenovo Kingsoft had contacted Softbank, hoping they can cooperate. Lenovo Kingsoft is providing the platform, and this is beneficial to the software developed by Softbank's subsidiaries.
But Softbank did not agree immediately. Their relationship with Lenovo Kingsoft is not very good, and their relationship with Feng Yu is even worse.
Although there are no eternal enemies in the business world, shareholders like Lenovo Kingsoft have their own platforms. Also, Lenovo Kingsoft is not the only one with such a platform. There are many other platforms like this, but Lenovo Kingsoft is the largest.
But for this platform to be so big, their investment must be very high. That's why Lenovo Kingsoft wants a higher share of the profits, and Softbank is very unhappy.
We are the developers of the software. Why are you only providing a platform and taking so much from us?
Also, Softbank has its own software sales platform, but it is not a big one. They had wanted to set up a big platform, but this year's economic situation had worsened, and they dare not to invest too much money.
Fruit had also developed their own software sales platform, and they want to work with Softbank. Softbank felt they can wait for the right price.
Especially since Lenovo Kingsoft's platform is so big, if they do not sell a lot of software, it will be a significant loss to Lenovo Kingsoft.
The best outcome would be that the software of Softbank's subsidiaries could be sold on all these platforms. This would allow their products to have the widest sales channels.
At the same time, they had to stipulate the selling price and various related preferential conditions. Moreover, they also had to demand a higher percentage of the profits.
…
"Oh? Did Sun Zhengyi really say that? " Feng Yu sneered. "Isn't he overestimating Softbank? At the end of the day, Softbank's profits mainly come from their investments. How many software companies under them have really developed software that is popular all over the world?"
"They want a ninety percent split, right? Tell him that the original 30-70 split is no longer possible. If they sell on Apple's software platform, then we can only give them a 50-50 split, unless we are the exclusive seller! "
Lenovo Kingsoft's original offer was a 30: 70 split of the profits, and there are no restrictions on how many platforms the software can be sold on. Even if the software is sold on Lenovo Kingsoft's competitors' platforms, it doesn't matter. They could even continue to negotiate the price.
However, since Sun Zhengyi was demanding an exorbitant price, there was no need for them to be polite anymore. Either they give us the exclusive seller agreement, or they lower the percentage of profits!
Because our platform is the biggest, and we have the most users. Our website has the most visitors, and our brand is also one of the best. These are all our advantages!
Softness was very powerful, but at the same time, it was also very weak. They are powerful because they have the most IT-related companies, and they are weak because they do not have a leading company.
Maybe Asian Tiger is their leading company, and they had the upper hand when they invested in Asian Tiger in the past.
But now, web portals are no longer popular, especially after Asian Tiger abandoned Google and decided to set up their own search engine. But they realized it is too difficult to set up a search engine well.
The number of relevant information that others could obtain from a single search term was several times, or even more than ten times that of theirs. Also, Smart Sorting is much more advanced than Asian Tiger.
Asian Tiger's income had been declining for the past two years, and many users had switched to Microsoft or other web browsers. Asian Tiger's homepage is no longer Asian Tiger.
Also, the homepage of those web browsers is similar to the Home of Web Addresses. Users have more choices.
Many people even say web portals are no longer popular. The Home of Web Addresses and search engines are the most popular homepage.
Feng Yu does not think much of Softbank now. Although many of Softbank's investments in other countries are profitable, it is accumulating. No other companies are as successful as Asian Tiger.
Without Softbank, Lenovo Kingsoft's software park's income will be lower. But there are no serious consequences. Feng Yu had not expected his software park to be profitable this year.
Feng Yu felt Masao Kameda is not firm enough. Although this is Taihua Holdings's problem, since Feng Yu had asked Masao Kameda to handle it, then Masao Kameda must do it.
Sun Zhengyi listened to his subordinate's report. There were already many software download platforms that had contacted them, hoping that they could cooperate. There was even a saying within Softbank that they also had such subsidiary companies. Why didn't they just make it big?
There are a few directors who have this thought, and Sun Zhengyi is very disappointed. Why did Lenovo Kingsoft set up this software download platform and set up such a big scale?
This is because they have electronic products to support them. Every consumer who bought Lenovo, Wind and rain, Aiwa, etc., is a potential user of this software download platform.
After all, this software still needed to be installed on electronic products. Software is for the product. Without the product, the software cannot be used.
These software downloads were definitely not included in the original computer. Users had to pay to download it for some functions. Software was used in conjunction with electronic products, and the most downloaded software was definitely the application software.
Although Softbank has a stake in some electronic products, which brand is big enough? Maybe the combined sales of those electronic products cannot be compared to one of Taihua Holdings's electronic brands.
If Lenovo Kingsoft wants to expand their software download platform, they will be incurring losses. Even Microsoft's software download platform is not that big.
Why does Apple dare to do this? It is because they have electronic products.
Some directors are not suitable to work in the IT industry. But this time, Feng Yu does not know if Feng Yu will agree to his conditions. If not, then Feng Yu will agree to Feng Yu's conditions.
"Chairman, Chairman Kameda had sent a fax. They had changed their conditions."
Sun Zhengyi had a victorious smile on his face. "Oh? Did they change it according to our request? 1: 90? "
"1: 90? No. It is 50: 50! "
