跨境物流首选 | 深圳海外谷歌竞价推广
许多公司通过提供免费产品和服务，不仅赢得了市场，还创造了惊人的收入。这种"免费商业模式"正在全球范围内创造商业奇迹。
中国市场的免费模式先驱
在中国，360安全软件通过免费策略击败了瑞星、江民等收费杀毒软件，成为市场主导者。虽然产品免费，但360通过广告和应用分发获得了巨大收益。
同样，淘宝通过免费开店策略战胜了当时收费的易趣平台。如今，淘宝通过广告等增值服务年收入达375亿元。
The Pioneers of Free Model in China
In China, 360 Security Software defeated paid antivirus software like Rising and Jiangmin through free strategy. While the product is free, 360 generates huge revenue through advertising and app distribution.
Similarly, Taobao defeated the then-dominant eBay China (Eachnet) with its free store policy. Today, Taobao earns 37.5 billion RMB annually through advertising and other value-added services.
安卓系统：免费商业模式的巅峰之作
谷歌的安卓系统采用完全开源免费的策略，目前在中国智能手机操作系统市场占据绝对垄断地位。虽然谷歌从未公开安卓的具体收入，但甲骨文诉讼案披露的数据令人震惊。
根据披露，安卓系统已为谷歌创造310亿美元收入，利润高达220亿美元。这意味着这个免费系统平均每年为谷歌带来约30亿美元（200亿人民币）的利润！
Android: The Pinnacle of Free Business Model
Google's Android adopts a completely open-source and free strategy, currently dominating China's smartphone OS market. Although Google never disclosed Android's specific revenue, data revealed in the Oracle lawsuit is astonishing.
According to the disclosure, Android has generated $31 billion in revenue for Google, with profits as high as $22 billion. This means this free system brings Google about $3 billion (20 billion RMB) in profit annually!
特斯拉的免费专利战略
2014年，特斯拉宣布免费公开所有专利，这与安卓的策略惊人相似。通过免费开放专利，特斯拉实际上在推动其技术成为电动车行业标准。
正如周鸿祎所说，如果中国移动采用免费策略，也并非不可能。免费可能比收费更赚钱，这已经成为互联网时代最强大的商业模式之一。
Tesla's Free Patent Strategy
In 2014, Tesla announced to open all patents for free, strikingly similar to Android's strategy. By freely opening patents, Tesla is actually promoting its technology to become the industry standard for electric vehicles.
As Zhou Hongyi said, it's not impossible for China Mobile to adopt a free strategy. Free can be more profitable than charging, which has become one of the most powerful business models in the internet era.
免费不是慈善，而是一种更高明的商业智慧。从安卓到特斯拉，这些案例告诉我们：在数字经济时代，控制标准和生态比直接收费更能创造持久价值。
Free is not charity, but a smarter business wisdom. From Android to Tesla, these cases tell us: in the digital economy era, controlling standards and ecosystems can create more lasting value than direct charging.
