Replay 07: Opening the Temple of Learning

Chapter 107: Comprehensive Ban (Update )
(Actually it should be chapter 107, but the title cannot be changed.)
As the head and founder of UC, Ke Xiaopeng has a lot of things to deal with every day.

At the critical moment of the company's financing, Ke Xiaopeng spent more time dealing with interpersonal relationships.

Ke Xiaopeng handed over most of the business matters to the vice presidents and deputy directors under him.

meeting room.

Liu Ye and others saw that Ke Xiaopeng's face was turning pale and knew that the boss was in a bad mood.

Everyone tactfully put away their phones and didn't dare to speak.

Ke Xiaopeng asked Liu Ye directly: "How is the situation of Jiyue Browser? Has it been connected with several application download portals?"

Liu Ye did not dare to neglect it and replied: "We have contacted all the mainstream application download websites on the market. These websites have adopted technical means to either push the display page of Jiyue Browser to the back or hide it."

"Most users have no way of finding the Extreme Browser from regular web pages."

Liu Ye thought that UC had already paid a high cost for this. In order to maintain the relationship with these application download websites, UC's monthly promotion expenses had tripled.

Ke Xiaopeng said, "But I got news from IDG that many people at IDG Xiaguo headquarters are already using Jiyue Browser. If IDG executives knew about this product, what would happen to our third round of financing?"

Ke Xiaopeng's tone was so serious that no one in the entire conference room dared to make a sound.

"Mr. Liu, after you negotiated with the developer of Jiyue, did the other party contact you?"

"We have already set up some obstacles for Jiyue on several mainstream application portals. Jiyue should be able to detect the decline in user growth. Don't the other parties compromise?"

Three million in acquisition costs and half a million in scholarships.

The total amount is 3.5 million, but Lu Shan is not tempted at all, which makes Ke Xiaopeng very annoyed.

Liu Ye said helplessly: "The other party has never contacted us."

"and……"

Several departments under Liu Ye have been monitoring the usage of Jiyue Browser during this period, and have used some technical methods to estimate and calculate the daily DAU of Jiyue Browser.

Although the DAU data of Jiyue estimated through technology does not have the real data of Jiyue’s background, the data is also pretty accurate.

Liu Ye discovered an astonishing fact. Although the number of Jiyue's users has slowed down, the activity of existing users is very high, with no signs of decline.

And there's something even more shocking: Ji Yue is advertising.

And according to the test results, the response to Jiyue’s advertising seems to be quite good.

In other words, Jiyue Browser has achieved profitability with minimal investment.

Liu Ye informed Ke Xiaopeng of everything they had monitored about Ji Yue.

Ke Xiaopeng couldn't sit still anymore.

If UC wants to raise third round of financing, the most important things are the existing user base, the number of new users, market share and financial reports.

The key point is that UC is not profitable at all now.

In order to occupy the market, we have been burning money.

The money from the first two rounds of financing has been almost used up.

If another powerful competitor emerges.

The third round of financing is definitely not going to be able to be maintained.

Ke Xiaopeng said: "Now we must stop at nothing to warn the mainstream application download websites on the market and completely remove the Jiyue browser from their shelves."

"Liu Ye, talk to these companies right away and ask them to find a way to remove Jiyue from the shelves. Remove it completely, not just put it on the last few pages! They can find any excuse they want, such as illegally collecting user privacy, not meeting relevant requirements, or that the technology does not meet the requirements, etc. In short, it's up to them to decide. My request is to remove it from the shelves."

Ke Xiaopeng was indeed a little panicked. "I will also talk to the relevant Nokia representatives immediately to see if there is any chance to cancel the adaptation of Nokia's Symbian system to the Jiyue browser."

Although Ke Xiaopeng adopted two plans, he felt that the second plan was less feasible because Nokia was a global company, not a Xia country company.

As a global company, its technical standards are unified, and UC is not a very big company. Nokia should not change its system policy for this one company.

The meeting lasted for 5 hours.

Uc's top management also had a heated debate on whether to acquire Jiyue.

The final conclusion was that it was best not to contact Lushan anymore.

This is to avoid alerting the enemy.

Now Lu Shan doesn't even care about 350 million. If UC continues to send representatives to pester him.

So will Lu Shan raise the price and will he alarm other investors?

After the meeting, Uc's top executives took separate actions and launched a comprehensive crackdown on Jiyue Browser.

Ke Xiaopeng went to Nokia's Xiaguo headquarters in Yanjing, hoping to try to persuade Nokia.

After all, the model that uses the most third-party browsers now is smartphones, and the leader in smartphones is Nokia.

Things went relatively smoothly for Liu Ye, and he quickly reached an agreement with the three app download websites.

As long as UC is willing to spend money, these three application websites will be willing to cooperate.

Excuses are easy to find, and it’s not bad to make money on the website.

Liu Ye stayed there until late at night.

The n95 mobile phone in his hand has been charged three times and the phone has become hot from use.

He kept checking third-party application websites, and only felt relieved when he saw that Jiyue Browser could no longer be found on any of the application websites.

In other words, the regular way to download Jiyue Browser is no longer available.

Even if Jiyue Browser makes a web page itself and provides a download link.

People who are not particularly familiar with mobile Internet or mobile phones will never think of this, which eliminates most users.

Of course, some users will also use Baidu to search for Jiyue browser.

Uc is also actively connecting with Baidu to try its best to improve the ranking of uc.

As long as there are users searching for Jiyue Browser or the two keywords "Jiyue" on Baidu, the UC Browser will definitely be ranked at the top.

Although there are many Internet users in Xiaguo, the number of mobile Internet users is also growing rapidly.

But the problem remains that netizens really don't understand the Internet very well. After most users search for Jiyue on Baidu, they think the first UC browser they see is Jiyue Browser and download it directly instead of flipping through a few pages to find the real Jiyue Browser.

Ke Xiaopeng repeatedly worked in Yanjing but did not receive a positive response.

Nokia is a multinational company. It is impossible for it to block the application of another Xia country company at the request of a Xia country company.

However, Ke Xiaopeng did not gain nothing in Yanjing.

Through various connections, he obtained the "signature" rules for installing software on Symbian phones.

Prepare to start from this aspect.

Can I ask for some monthly tickets?
