"There are still more good people in this world!" Hearing this, Boss Huang sincerely expressed his gratitude to those manufacturers who did not join the OO mobile game platform.
Truly, if they had refused to pre-install the OO game platform on their phones and rejected the cooperation agreement, then according to the agreement's rules, Huang He would have had to give 20% of all revenue generated through the OO game platform installed on these phones to these mobile manufacturers.
Therefore, out of this extra profit of 150 million US dollars, perhaps 30 million US dollars would have to be given away to these mobile manufacturers, which would have truly depressed Boss Huang.
But now, it's good. Since these mobile manufacturers refused cooperation with the OO game platform, they naturally wouldn't need to give any revenue share. Boss Huang's mouth revealed a smug smile.
And this was just the performance for last month. Last month, "Angry Birds" was still in the midst of public opinion fermentation and had not reached its traffic peak, so the income was not yet high.
The truly high income was expected to be in September. Currently, 10 days of September have passed, but the entire month's income has already exceeded 100 million US dollars. Moreover, as "Angry Birds" creates a trend wave worldwide, leading to over 2 million users pouring into the OO mobile game platform every day, these users will continuously bring in new revenue, which is simply delightful.
According to the conservative estimates of his own finance department, the revenue for the entire September has a high probability of exceeding 300 million US dollars. This figure has already surpassed the annual profit of over 80% of mobile companies worldwide.
Fortunately, the detailed revenue data for the OO game platform has not yet been released to the public. Otherwise, who knows how the entire financial circle would be shaken.
Then, Boss Huang ordered Hu Jing to directly publish the full text of this revenue report on the company's official website, and also send it to all media outlets worldwide.
Yes, Boss Huang also really wanted to know what kind of reaction the entire financial circle would have after this August revenue report was released.
"Boss, won't doing this be too flashy and too hateful?" Hu Jing asked with slight worry.
"It will definitely be hateful!" Boss Huang nodded and said, "However, it can also bring huge benefits. There is no perfect solution in the world, it's just about weighing the pros and cons."
Thus, on September 10th, Teacher's Day, all media outlets in the United States received an email from the headquarters of OO Network's American branch that afternoon.
Frankly speaking, when these media editorial departments first saw this email, they thought it might be from scammers.
After all, how could such crucial information, which requires pathetic reporters to sharpen their heads and use all means available to obtain, be directly sent to their email inboxes?
But when these media outlets saw that the sender's email was indeed OO Network's official email, and the document was stamped with the company's seal, and listed various detailed data that could only be obtained by official channels. xxs
And finally, both OO Network and the OO game platform's official websites directly posted corresponding reports. Only then did they understand the authenticity of this document. At the same time, they vaguely felt that someone might be showing off.
But it didn't matter. Whoever wanted to show off could do so. They only cared about the headlines and traffic.
So, almost overnight, OO Network's monthly financial revenue report exploded again. However, this time the scope of the explosion was small. Ordinary people basically didn't care, as they couldn't understand such professional financial data.
But the professionals collectively exploded. They didn't need to read the entire 100-page financial report. They just needed to find the final conclusion of this report. Upon seeing that the OO game platform had earned over 150 million US dollars in just one month, and that only over 4 million US dollars were distributed to mobile manufacturers, with the rest being their own pure income, almost everyone's mindset became unbalanced.
Keep in mind that a monthly operating capability of 150 million US dollars, such performance would be an absolute leader among the Fortune Global 500, even ranking among the top 100. Not to mention that the OO mobile game platform is merely a platform that has been established for just over two months.
The shocking effect of this data was not much different from when Apple announced its iPod performance.
After the shock, people with different identities naturally had different ideas. Those outside the industry simply envied and were jealous, without any other excessive thoughts, as these matters had nothing to do with them.
As for professional financial personnel, they began to figure out ways to get this company listed.
A monthly profit of 150 million US dollars, if such performance were to go for an IPO on the stock market, it would at least create a network enterprise with a market value exceeding 20 billion US dollars.
And if they could underwrite the listing of this company, the pure operating income alone would exceed 100 million US dollars.
But this was only the smaller portion. The truly large portion lay in obtaining the agency sales rights for its listed shares. If operated properly, by selling stocks through agency, they could earn over 500 million US dollars in pure profit at the very least.
In addition, some investors began to consider how to find the OO mobile game platform to invest in.
Initially, they thought this process was very simple: find the person in charge of this company, throw a massive amount of US dollars in front of them, and then smoothly obtain shares in this company.
However, they soon realized they were overthinking it, especially when they learned that the OO game platform was backed by the Jiangnan Group. Most of them gave up the idea.
Everyone in the capital market knew that although the Jiangnan Group was not listed and had not even received any financing, this company was miraculously not short of money. It was rumored that they had a massive amount of liquid cash reserves in banks. Trying to snatch food from a tiger's mouth was basically impossible.
If professional financial personnel were only thinking about how to get a share of this company's profits, and their mindset was still relatively calm, even considered proactive, then the mindset of mobile manufacturers had basically completely exploded, especially those who refused the OO game platform. When they saw the monthly financial report released by the OO game platform, they immediately understood the purpose of releasing this financial report: it was to show it to them, to make them angry to death.
So, were these mobile manufacturers angry to death?
To be honest, they were left with only half a life from anger. After all, when the mobile game platform they were preparing didn't even have a shadow... no, not even a name, how could anyone stand it?
Not to mention that everyone was smart and could see things in this financial report that they absolutely did not want to see.
For example, the fundamental reason for the OO game platform's astonishing profit was that it directly devoured the revenue that originally belonged to them. If all these mobile phones had the OO mobile game platform installed normally, then 20% of the profit here would belong to them. But now...
The most ridiculous thing was that they thought by not joining the alliance, they could restrict the development of the OO mobile game platform on their phones. But instead, the other party directly bypassed them and let users install the platform themselves, completely treating them like fools.
They immediately wanted to instruct their legal counsel to see if they could recover some losses and have OO Network return their share. But reality was very comical, because there was no evidence to prove that the software installed on these phones was developed by the Jiangnan Group.
Even if there were, there was no legal basis for a lawsuit, because there was no law that stipulated the Jiangnan Group must give 20% of its profits to mobile manufacturers. This had no legal grounds.
Of course, this could be argued as the programs produced by the Jiangnan Group forcibly disrupting the mobile phone system, as a hacking attack. But lawsuits like this would not be uncommon, taking years. Even if they eventually won the lawsuit, it would only be compensation for system disruption, and there was no reason to take platform profits to give to these mobile companies.
Seeing this, these mobile companies were immediately at a loss. They reluctantly found that they could only watch the Jiangnan Group proudly mock them.
Even more disheartening was that the board of directors soon saw this financial report, and they immediately angrily summoned all senior management to the conference room, questioning them why the profit that originally belonged to them was gone.
These senior executives of course had various ways to explain, mostly citing the shamelessness of the Jiangnan Group, but the board directors were not stupid. After listening to the explanations of these senior executives, these directors directly asked a question: "Why did you refuse to join this OO game platform?"
"It's not that you were blinded by profit at the time, clamoring for more profits, wasn't 20% too little?" These senior executives thought to themselves, but they absolutely dared not say it out loud. They could only look at their own directors pitifully and weakly explain.
Especially those companies that had joined the alliance but later withdrew were in an even worse situation, as they were only one step away from this huge income.
Ultimately, many company senior executives were replaced, and many company senior executives were issued strict warnings by their companies to launch their own mobile game platforms within a month to reclaim this profit, or they would collectively be fired.
People are like this. They can smile and watch tens of millions of dollars that don't belong to them from afar, but they absolutely cannot accept 100 dollars that originally belonged to them but suddenly disappeared.
"However you lost the money, find it back, even if it means kneeling before that Chinese person!" the board of directors finally declared domineeringly.
