Age of Dreams

Since Xiao Qi acquired AutoNavi Maps for RMB 2.8 billion, Taodaotong for 2.2 billion yuan, and then Yitutong for 1.8 billion yuan, the first domestic map company is actually the Fairy Map Company.

What whiteness map, Kay Lide map, etc., in front of the fairy map after the merger and reorganization, all are not enough to see.

It is not just a question of scale, but also a question of technical strength and follow-up support.

Gaode, Dadaotong, and Yitutong all have their own unique skills, otherwise Xiao Qi would not spend so much effort to acquire them.

After the merger of these three companies, the combined strength of the technical houses cannot be underestimated.

Sometimes, it should be said that more often, after merging a company, it cannot play the role of one plus one greater than two. On the contrary, many restrictions and intrigues will make the ability of the two companies to be integrated, which is not comparable. When I was a family before.

This lesson is not only in China, but also in foreign countries.

So usually everyone prefers to swallow the company directly and integrate their technology and heritage, and all the so-called managers and staff rush to the side.

Otherwise, it will still let the acquired company operate independently, and the parent company will just receive their research and development results and use it on its own products.

In addition, the kind of two teams working together is usually not so easy.

Xiao Qi bought three prestigious map companies, and adopted the first method, with AutoNavi Map as the main body, and the other two recruited more technical personnel. As for other management personnel, those who are willing to transfer departments will transfer. . Otherwise, they will leave with a high amount of compensation.

Although it looks like a loss on the surface, the strength of twisting into a rope is the key to the company's success.

Otherwise, if they stay in the company to form gangs and don't cooperate with each other, how can we do a good job in Fairy Map Company?

Of course, for technicians, surveying and mapping personnel, etc. Fairy Company’s treatment is also very good. Basically, they have doubled their salary, and according to the Fairy Company’s salary system, they will never be stingy in bonuses.

Making electronic maps is actually very hard. ▽▽Whether it’s surveying and mapping experiments, technology research and development, etc., it requires meticulous and patient spirit. Usually, there is no effort for a year or two, and no results can be seen.

Especially in such a large area of ​​China. It took three, five, seven or eight years to produce detailed maps of the whole country. That is not uncommon at all.

It's just that the three map companies have already completed the basic surveying and mapping work. After the merger, their most important thing is to integrate the resources of the three maps, and then prepare for the fine-tuning of the map of each city area.

Rao is so, from last May bought three map companies, and then established the Fairy Map Company, to May this year. The Fairy Map did its first official test.

After more than three months of testing and adjustment, it is now September. It is finally available for free download in major app stores.

The Fairy Map Company is not bad for money, so before the launch, they started various advertisements.

Since the end of August, dozens of advertisements for fairy maps have appeared on television media, print media, and paper media.

"Do you want to use the best mobile navigation system?"

"Do you want to hear the navigation sound of sister Zhiling?"

"Do you want to hear the funny navigation sound of Teacher Benshan?"

"Do you want to have only one mobile phone and you won't get lost in the whole country?"

"You don't want to consume data. Can you get perfect tips on roads, shops, restaurants, hotels, etc.?"

"..."

In addition to interesting short commercials, such as sister Zhiling, Teacher Guo, Teacher Benshan, Dehua, Baizhi and other signed stars also came out to help out, which made everyone feel fresh for a while.

I haven't seen a free electronic navigation map company, and still play so many tricks.

Just look at those functions of the leaflet. How much does it cost! Or is it free to use and automatically upgrade, what can be profitable?

I have heard of voice navigation before, but it was the first time I heard of the voice navigation of these stars.

Also, it is said that you don’t need to connect to satellites, and you can navigate without traffic. What is going on?

A series of questions made many people very interested in the fairy map.

After all, they also know that all the products produced by the Fairy Company are definitely not just gimmicks, they must have very unique places.

The impression that the products produced by the Fairy Company must belong to boutiques has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

By the day when the fairy map went online, many car users in mainland China downloaded it for the first time.

With the increase in the application of smart electronics, the interactive applications of smart phones and cars have already entered people's eyes.

At present, it is naturally the Tesla electric car that is doing the best. The intelligent monitoring integrated system provided by the fairy company has been praised by many people in the industry. After the production, the fans who bought it are also full of praise. I feel that smart electronics are changing lives.

It's a pity that there are no Tesla electric cars in China. Their output is not even enough to supply the United States. Even if China wants to spend a lot of money to buy it, it is impossible.

One of the huge problems is the charging pile equipment. If this is not popularized within a certain range, Tesla electric vehicles are still of little use.

Nowadays, the most practical one in the Chinese market is the integrated audio-visual navigation machine on the center console. This machine with a value of around 3000 can connect to satellite navigation, use Bluetooth, play movies, and provide reverse video functions. At present, sales are booming, and there are basically more than 100 million units in the market.

But Xiao Qi knows that after the smartphone is successfully matched with the computer, this all-in-one machine will not be of much use. Even if it has some functions, it is still practical, but compared with the various functions of the free smartphone, the price of more than 3,000 is still expensive. A lot.

Free is always the largest and most practical weapon for market competition.

Isn’t Ma Yun’s Taobao.com defeating the incredible eBay like this?

You know, eBay, which entered China aggressively at the time, had a market value of more than 20 billion U.S. dollars. Ma Yun's Ali Baba Group is only 2 billion US dollars at most, and the funds invested on Taobao.com are even more pitiful.

Therefore, in 2013, basically 70% of young people used free mobile navigation, eliminating the bulky and inconvenient audio-visual navigation integrated machine.

Don't think that free means that the quality is mediocre. It might be okay before. But now the free ones must be done well, so that a lot of people will use them, so that your free ones will be free and valuable.

Isn't this the way AutoNavi will be in the future?

After a period of time, it will automatically upgrade and patch, and make corresponding adjustments according to the changes in each city. This is something that many paid navigation software cannot do. Therefore, it has occupied the first market share in China. Ma Yun bought it directly with so much money.

So even if many people are talking about Xiao Qi, since we have spent so much money on the three major electronic map companies, why not build an integrated audio-visual navigation machine. Or is it a requirement for a monthly fee? Even if you charge 10 yuan a year, that's not a small amount of income.

But Xiao Qi just smiled and ignored them.

They don't know that in the future Internet era, the most powerful is free software, which is an inevitable trend.

And who said that free software can't make money?

Look at WeChat and Twitter. Look at Facebook and so on, aren't they all free. Is the valuation and market value of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars given to them in vain by those Wall Street idiots?

There may be idiots anywhere else in the world, but it is impossible on Wall Street alone. The people who can survive here are definitely elites. You have no value. Don't want to take away a penny of financing from them!

The same is true for the fairy map. As long as it successfully captures the electronic map navigation market in the entire country of China and even in Southeast Asia, then even if this electronic ecological chain has initial success, it will depend on how Xiao Qi puts his own industries one by one in the future. Join in. Fusion in!

Of course, these are all things to follow.

The most important thing now is whether the fairy map can get everyone's praise.

Xiao Qi didn't worry at all, and the staff of Fairy Map was even more confident.

If the efforts of thousands of people are gathered together, and the electronic navigation map produced by the integration of the resources of the three major companies will not work, then they can directly submit their resignation and go home!

Facts have also proved that their idea is correct.

From the first day of downloading, there have been many netizens of car owners who praised the fairy map on the car forum.

"Too funny! I downloaded the sound package of Teacher Benshan, and we laughed all the way on the Liao-Ji highway, and almost no car accident! Oh, by the way, the navigation itself is very accurate, even last month A repaired road, it also reminds us to avoid it, but the voice of Uncle Benshan...Haha, it's really interesting!"

"Cut, the one on the top is a sling. What I downloaded is the voice pack of sister Zhiling. The sound is really ecstasy. Oh, I have the urge to drive the car! I took down the island and captured sister Zhiling alive. Ambition is burning in my heart again!"

"Agree with the statement upstairs. Listening to sister Zhiling helping to navigate the reminder along the way, I feel like she is by my side, brothers, let us lay down Baodao Island and catch sister Zhiling alive!!"

"The poor two nerds upstairs, don’t you know that the beauty of China is much more beautiful than sister Zhiling? Our favorite of Jinwei people is Teacher Guo. I use his language pack when driving. It's like listening to his cross talk. It's not bad. The friends around me have all downloaded the fairy map!"

"You guys, why do you only care about these additional things? Why don't you look at it. The fairy map of the three map companies, Gaode, Dadaotong, and Yitutong, is integrated. How beautiful the screen is and how detailed the map is. , How precise is the navigation? These are all made with money~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I can only say that Xiao Qi is too good!"

"Yes! Xiao Qi really cares about our people. I really hope Xiao Qi can bring us more and more free and good products!"

"..."

With the lively discussion of these people, the fairy map exceeded 200,000 times when it was downloaded on the first day, 500,000 times on the second day, and as high as 1 million times on the third day!

More downloads have brought more good word of mouth, and more good word of mouth has once again caused the download usage to continue to rise.

Domestic map navigation companies were surprised to find that in a blink of an eye, that is, within a few days, Fairy Maps had actually begun to seize their solid market!

This menacing posture, coupled with free gimmicks, is simply forcing them to be overwhelmed!
