Crossover: 2014

Chapter 71 What About Amazon
Lin Hui then bewitched: "You still don't believe I can do it?

Do you want to make a bet with me? "

Huang Jing: "No, although I still find it unbelievable now.

But I'd rather believe that you can handle this news digest software.

Arrangement is so troublesome that you can manage it.

Although it is troublesome when it comes to natural language processing, you should be able to find your way. "

Lin Hui: ...

Uh, why can it go from music analogy to programming.

Sure enough, women's brain circuits are rather strange!
Lin Hui had seen a similar explanation in a magazine before:
After "sensuality/sex/field/field" shows behavior that amazes women
Women tend to add a few points to the score of the opposite sex's rational domain.

The magazine is sincere and does not deceive me.

Huang Jing continued: "By the way, I called you this time because I have something to discuss with you."

Lin Hui: "What's the matter?"

Huang Jing: "From our side, we see that the games you launched earlier are not available on other platforms.

It can be seen that you still have a soft spot for the Apple platform compared to other platforms.

I don't know if you have considered Apple exclusive?

If you're interested, consider signing an Apple platform exclusivity agreement.

In this way we can provide you with an additional income compensation. "

What is a soft spot for the Apple platform?
This is a last resort good or bad.

Other platforms are too stretched.

Give other platforms a chance and they won't work either.

Several small games that Lin Hui had previously launched were still pirated everywhere on these platforms.

Not only does it not rectify, but it also recommends pirated versions.

outrageous.

How can such a platform cooperate.

Disrespect developers and expect developers to generate value for you.

It's better to dream, there are everything in the dream.

For this kind of unscrupulous platform, Lin Hui just wants to say hehe!

So-called Apple exclusivity agreements are nothing new.

After signing the agreement, within the time limit stipulated in the agreement.

The games developed by Lin Hui can only be launched on the Apple platform.

But it cannot be launched on platforms such as Android.

Many games have had a period of Apple exclusivity for a long time.

Of course, giving is never one-way.

If the AppStore signs an exclusive agreement with the developer.

Developers are also given an upfront payment in exchange for limited-time exclusive access to the platform.

In addition, for the application of exclusive agreement.

Apple should come up with a stronger publicity strategy.

At the same time, apps that have signed an exclusive agreement must not be removed from the shelves without reason...

Such an agreement may have implications for other developers.

But it has no effect on Lin Hui.

On the contrary (for the time being), there is no harm at all.

After all, Lin Hui has no idea of ​​launching Android in a short time.

It's not that the Android platform can't make money.

It's really meaningless to just kneel down and make money.

Although Lin Hui can't just lie down and make money on the Apple platform.

But at least you can sit and collect money.

All in all, Lin Hui doesn't mind the exclusive agreement of Guozi.

But he didn't agree directly.

Lin Hui asked curiously: "Normally speaking, the exclusive agreement is usually signed before the application is launched?

Why did you think of asking me to sign an exclusive agreement after launching three games? "

Huang Jing didn't hide it either: "Of course it's because of your hard-to-replicate strength shown in the DLC of the game "FLAPPPY BIRD"..."

Lin Hui knew that his "music creation" ability in the "FLAPPPY BIRD" DLC made Apple's eyes shine.

Lin Hui is also well aware of this.

Although whether it is game production or music creation ability.

He's not at the top level.

But there are not many developers who have both abilities at the same time.

Lin Hui can even brag without shame:
No other indie developer in this time and space can "get" the music as easily as he does.

And no one knows the game better than the music creator.

Now that you know your unique value.

Then it is easy to take the initiative in negotiations.

Lin Hui continued: "Okay, then you can send me the agreement first!"

Huang Jing: "Uh(⊙﹏⊙), boss, you are flattering me too much.

I'm just a pawn.

I'm here to ask if you're interested.

The agreement should be drawn up by the legal department.

The specific discussion of the content of the agreement should also be negotiated with you by someone with a higher level..."

Lin Hui: ...

That's true, and it's always been that way in big companies.

It is also very troublesome to go through the process for something big.

Lin Hui: "Uh, well, just contact me when there is more information."

……

……

Huang Jing: "By the way, I heard some related news about Z.COM."

Lin Hui: "What news? Do you know what the trending search was that day?"

Huang Jing: "I haven't figured out what the trending search is.

However, your purchase of a sky-high domain name has indeed attracted a lot of attention among major Internet companies.

Many marketing departments within the company even held a special meeting to discuss this matter..."

I heard that I didn't figure out what the trending search was that day.

Lin Hui couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

Could it be that he really has a hot search physique?

For Huang Jing, go seriously to find out the news for him.

Lin Hui is still very grateful.

Lin Hui said: "This situation is understandable. Many domestic companies have always listened to the wind and rain."

Huang Jing: "This time you are wrong. The company that reacted the most to the transaction of the Z.COM domain name is a crooked fruit company."

Crooked fruit company?

Lin Hui couldn't help but wonder if it might be RB's GMO company.

After all, the domain name Z.COM was bought by this company in the previous life.

But think about it, it shouldn't be!

If a domain name is bought and replaced with another one, it will be fine.

Will a company that is willing to spend nearly 700 million dollars to buy a domain name still lack domain names?
As for hopping?
Lin Hui couldn't figure it out.

Huang Jing was triumphant: "I knew you wouldn't be able to guess it. In fact, I was a little surprised when I first heard the news."

Lin Hui: "What's the news?"

Huang Jing: "I heard from one of my seniors at Amazon.

Amazon seems to want to buy the domain name Z.COM at a high price? "

Amazon is an established Internet company.

Its credentials are even older than Google.

Amazon is also one of the giants in the Internet industry today.

Still, life in China has not been easy for Amazon.

Under the siege of Tmall and JD, Amazon's performance in the Chinese market has gradually declined.

At this time, Amazon’s share of China’s e-commerce market was only 2.1%.

But now is not the worst time for him in China.

As a reborn, Lin Hui knew.

In less than five years, Amazon will leave the market sadly in China.

But then again, what is Amazon thinking now?
Sudden acquisition of Z.COM?

Lin Hui expressed his incomprehension.

Lin Hui: "What's the matter with Amazon?

Although Z.COM is a premium domain name.

But giant companies like Amazon have no shortage of domain names.

Why did they acquire such a domain name as Z.COM?

If they are interested in such a domain name.

Why not bid ahead? "

Huang Jing said: "Can't figure it out?

You think about it for a while.

The domain name of Amazon China is Z.CN.

It can be said that the domain name you purchased is highly homogeneous with the domain name Amazon currently uses in China.

Don't you understand why now? "

Huang Jing continued: "As for why they didn't bid in advance.

They are also said to have entered the auction.

It's a pity that the lack of preparation resulted in your hand.

In fact, even if the domain name is in the hands of crooked people, they will not worry at all.

But they never expected that such a domain name would fall into the hands of the Chinese. "

After Huang Jing's reminder, Lin Hui suddenly realized! ! !
Fuck, I actually forgot about this.

The domain name of Amazon China in China is Z.CN.

But Lin Hui bought the domain name Z.COM
In this way, Amazon China has invested heavily in publicity in China.

It is very possible to make a wedding dress for Lin Hui.

After all, in this time and space, in China, except for zf websites ending in .GOV, they will be strongly pushed to the top.

The rest of the time, in the case of the same second-level domain name.

Websites are generally presented to users in the order of .COM .NET .CN.

Although both .COM and .CN are top-level domains.

But top-level domains are also differentiated.

The former is an international top-level domain name;

The latter is a country top-level domain.

In the user's search results, websites using international top-level domain names are usually higher.

In layman's terms, if the Z.COM website purchased by Lin Hui is put into use in China.

Then the user ranks first when entering Z.

It is very likely that Lin Hui bought this Z.COM.

Instead of Amazon China's Z.CN
This is why Amazon China is not worried about crooked users buying Z.COM.

After all, if a crooked person buys this website.

Then there is a high probability that this website will be blocked from the outside for some well-understood reasons.

In this way, Amazon does not have to worry about Z.COM interfering with Z.CN.

But now the situation is completely different.

Moreover, it is not the worst situation for Z.COM to rank first in the search list of domestic users.

The worst situation is that Lin Hui not only puts Z.COM into use in China.

Moreover, it also conducts homogeneous operation with Amazon China.

That scene must be a super hit in the history of the Internet.

In fact, this kind of Porcelain is very rare.

Even if such a touch of porcelain does occur.

There is a high probability that it will be smashed.

Not only is there no benefit to touching porcelain, but it can easily lead to legal counterattacks.

In fact, in the history of domain names, such touches rarely occur.

In our country, in accordance with the relevant laws.

Even if there is a domain name dispute, the party with the trademark will be taken care of.

This determines that more than half of the domestic enterprises now have no way to touch porcelain.

For example, even if Lin Hui got a Q.COM, he couldn't touch the porcelain penguin.

After all, Penguin owns the relevant trade name and trademark rights for Q.

If Lin Hui really touches porcelain, there is a high probability that he will give it in vain.

But things are a little different with Amazon.

Even if Lin Hui made a Z.COM to touch porcelain.

It is also difficult for Amazon to resort to legal means.

After all, the Amazon trademark is Amazonαzon.

There is no relevant trade name or trademark interest in "Z".

Lin Hui seems to understand why Amazon would consider spending huge sums of money to acquire Z.COM.

It seems that the most convenient and direct solution to change Lin Hui to Amazon China's position is to spend money to settle.
