Chapter 62 System Fee Announcement
After coming out of the company, Gu Wan was always grateful to Qin Hailang. This time he helped Gu Wan a lot, and of course she was very grateful.
"Qin Hailang, you did me a big favor this time. I owe you a big favor! Then you can do whatever you want me to do!" Gu Wanlang said to Qin Hailang delicately.
"I'll remember this, and I'll let you pay it back when the time comes." Qin Hailang said with a smile.
…………
Time passes day by day.
"Honghou, how many users are currently using our Xingchen mobile phone system in the European and American markets?" Qin Hailang asked Honghou.
"Reporting to the boss, there are currently 80 million users using our mobile phone system. Among them, there are 50 million users in the United States and 30 million users in European countries!" Red Houhui reported.
"80 million users, well, that's a lot of users. It seems like I should implement another plan." Qin Hailang thought to himself. That's right, this plan is to charge system fees for this group of foreign users!
In other words, the other party needs to pay before they can use the Xingchen mobile system software.
This kind of charge is indeed the first time in the history of mobile phone systems. Because there was no charge for Symbian back then, there is no charge for the current Android and Apple systems.
Qin Hailang doesn't care about you. Anyway, I charge a fee. You can use it if you like. He believes that with the invincible functions of the Xingchen mobile phone system, he believes that a large number of mobile phone users will choose to pay to use it!
And he plans to test it in the European and American markets first to see how the sales are. As for the 300 million domestic users, he does not plan to charge.
"Queen of fame, let's start making announcements to the 80 million users in Europe and the United States." Qin Hailang said.
"yes."
On this day, all the 80 million users of the Xingchen mobile phone system in Europe and the United States received a message pushed by the system: Xingchen mobile phone system charging information!
The specific content is as follows: Starting from the 10th of next month, the Xingchen mobile phone system will be available for payment. The payment system is one-year, and the annual fee is US$30! If you want to continue using it next year, you need to renew.
At the same time, Qin Hailang also held a product charging conference.
Of course, this press conference was specially prepared for the European and American markets, so it was in English.
"Starting from the 10th of next month, our company will charge for the Xingchen mobile phone system. The charges are as follows. It is charged once a year, and the annual fee is 30 US dollars! If users do not pay, you will not be able to use our mobile phones. system……"
Qin Hailang originally wanted to price it at US$100 a year, but after thinking about it he decided to set a price that was neither high nor low. 30 US dollars, converted into RMB, is close to 200 yuan a year. If you set the price too high, you will definitely lose a large part of your customers. If it is too low, he will earn less. So he feels that $30 a year is neither too much nor too little.
The future price will depend on how the market sells.
If sales are good, you can raise the price!
After the press conference was completed, it was immediately controlled and reduced to Europe and the United States.
At the same time, Qin Hailang also sent people to Europe and the United States to start setting up branches there. After all, this also required paying taxes and a series of other processes.
When this news appeared on the mobile phones of these mobile phone users, every user was shocked!
To be honest, no one would have thought that a mobile phone system would charge fees. If you look at the previous Android mobile phone systems, they promised to be free forever. For example, the Apple system is bundled with Apple mobile phones, so there is no charge.
But now this Xingchen mobile phone system charges a fee!
Brown looked at the information on his phone and immediately swore: "Fake, you have to pay to use a broken mobile phone system! What a rubbish company!"
30 US dollars, not much more, not much less.
He has been using mobile phones for more than ten years, and this is the first time he has encountered charges for using the mobile phone system. This sudden unaccustomed need to pay really made him very angry.
It's like you usually drink boiled water for free in a restaurant. Suddenly one day the clerk tells you that boiled water costs money. Can you understand that feeling?
Rodriquez is also a user of the Star Mobile System and a newspaper reporter. After seeing the news, he immediately checked other announcements from Xingchen Technology Co., Ltd. He discovered that Xingchen Technology Co., Ltd. currently only charges European and American users. But China’s 300 million users don’t need to pay! This made him very confused and angry. Why don’t Chinese users need to pay?
So he immediately launched a protest on the Internet!
[I have been using mobile phones for more than 20 years and have used several generations of mobile phone systems. But I have never seen any mobile phone system that requires payment! The Xingchen mobile phone system actually charges a fee to use. This is something we don't agree with, and I protest! 】
This title appeared on the forum and immediately attracted heated discussions among many European and American netizens.
"Go to Falk! There is a charge for every mobile phone system."
"I don't use the Xingchen mobile phone system anymore, I'm going back to the Android system."
"I'm going back to the Apple system..."
"30 US dollars a year is not very expensive, but I won't pay this wasted money!"
"Why do we European and American users have to pay to use it? We only have 80 million users. Why can 300 million users in China use it without paying?"
"I protest!"
"Let the Xingchen mobile phone system get out~"
On the Internet, European and American netizens all expressed their disgust.
However, soon many users said that if they use the Android system and the Apple system again, the feeling of experiencing the mobile phone will suddenly feel like going back to ten years ago. Anyway, there are all kinds of discomfort.
First of all, it is not so smooth, not so powerful in operation, and not so strong in signal. The operation interface and various background operations, small operations are not as easy to use and intelligent as the Xingchen mobile phone system.
"Xingchen Technology Co., Ltd. is a rogue practice! It is wrong for it to do this. This is not considering the feelings of our users! If there are no users like us, how can it earn GG fees?"
Not only that, the matter of Xingchen mobile phone system charging not only appeared on the Internet, but also many media reported this matter.
At the same time, it is also very difficult to understand why Chinese users can use it for free without paying if this is not a global unified charge.
Anyway, many people are now somewhat hostile to the Xingchen mobile phone system.

In the office of a newspaper.
"Rodriquez, go to China and interview the boss of Xingchen Technology Co., Ltd."
"Yes!"
