Chapter 413 The depressed Rebus, the boycotted Xiaomi, and the dashing Zhang Shuo!(2/3)
"I had the nerve to say I was going home for vacation, so I stayed at home for three days."
"Isn't this also home?"
It would be a hell for Zhang Shuo to stay in the villa all the time. The key is that he can't stand his mother's nagging.
In this way, Zhang Shuo settled down at the farmhouse. He went for a walk in the mountains every morning, went fishing, and ate farm food every day. He felt very carefree.
Just post it in a circle of friends and you will be envied by all your friends.
Tang Yu: "I feel very embarrassed about beating workers!!!"
Wang Yan: "This place is nice. Next time I go back to my hometown, I will take my daughter to play there too!"
Lu Kai: "Boss, can you please stop irritating us?"
Jiang Yue: "Real name envy..."
Rebus: "Mr. Zhang is still interested, I'm envious."
Brother Dong: "Like it, go away, go away..."
…
While Zhang Shuo was taking a leisurely vacation, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment launched a new game called "Lituo Coast".
As a result, players complained again.
"What is this?"
"Is this the Chinese style specially customized for us?"
"Blue Bird is a bit tricked this time."
In June and July, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment launched two mobile games focusing on the Japanese market, which already made local Chinese players unhappy and felt they were being slighted.
Jade Bird promised to release a Chinese-style product in August, which appeased players.
As a result, the only one released was "The Shore of the Land".
To be honest, as a war strategy mobile game, even if "The Coast of the Land" cannot be said to be very good, it is at least a qualified game above the standard.
If it were placed on game manufacturers such as Tenda and Wangyi, it would definitely be promoted vigorously.
However, the appetite of Chinese players has been fed by Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment. They are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas. When faced with the merely qualified "Landu Coast", they naturally become subconsciously dissatisfied.
and.
The audience for war strategy mobile games is not wide to begin with, but there are even more people complaining about it. The argument that the blue birds are entertaining each other and exhausting their talents has begun to spread again without realizing it.
Fortunately, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has a solid foundation and is not afraid of complaints from players.
………
By the pond, Zhang Shuo was fishing leisurely, wearing a hat.
Secretary Dai Yutong was sitting on a small stool next to him, holding a trial version of the Maili Tablet in his hand. He was quietly reading to Zhang Shuo the work briefing sent by the CEO's office, as well as the specially extracted news excerpts.
Make sure to say.
Even if Zhang Shuo is on vacation, he can always keep abreast of the latest developments of Sprout Group.
The work briefing highlighted the actions of other Chinese mobile phone manufacturers after the Sprout Group submitted materials accusing Gaotong of risk-related monopoly to the relevant departments.
The first two mobile phone manufacturers to express their stance were Warwick and Qihu. They also stated that they would suspend the payment of Gaotong patent licensing fees until the results of the investigation are released.
It is tantamount to cooperating with the Germination Group and continuing to put pressure on Gaotong.
Among the two, Warwick can only be regarded as half of the partners of Sprout Group. Apart from cooperation in the field of operating systems, there are not many other business cooperations.
It's a bit like the friendship between gentlemen.
Unexpectedly, he was able to stand up and support Germination at the critical moment.
This made Zhang Shuo very grateful.
As for Qihu, if he dares to take a stand at this time, he is obviously determined to stand in line with Germination.
After all, when Maili Group was identifying four domestic mobile phone manufacturers that could obtain fingerprint unlocking technology, Qihu was appointed by Zhang Shuo, so he entered the market through "relationships."
Naturally, I want to reciprocate the favor.
In addition to Huawei and Qihu, some copycat mobile phone manufacturers also followed suit, saying that they would refuse to pay patent licensing fees to Gaotong.
In fact, these copycat mobile phone manufacturers did not pay any patent licensing fees at all before.
They're just a bunch of people trying to catch the heat.
On the contrary, I dare not think that mainstream mobile phone manufacturers such as Meiyuan, Xiaomi, and OV have not made any statements so far, and thus they have been dissatisfied and even spurned by netizens!
"Hey, you are indeed the conscience of China, now you are pretending to be deaf and dumb!"
"Where is the arrogant Rebus? As soon as Gaotong raised the stick, he immediately became intimidated."
"Stop talking, Xiaomi, OV and other manufacturers are themselves one of the participants in this matter. It is simply wishful thinking to expect them to fight against Gaotong."
"That's easy, just don't buy a Xiaomi phone. In the current Chinese mobile phone market, there are Maili phones for the high-end, Warwick and Qihu for the mid-range and low-end. It's not like we have no choice."
"Yes, at this time, as consumers, we must have a clear attitude."
“It’s only after the tide goes out that you know who is there.”
Chinese consumers are indeed a very lovely group. They have a clear distinction between likes and dislikes, and they are willing to use practical actions to support national fashion brands, while at the same time voluntarily boycotting brands with stains.
The premise is.
Give Chinese consumers a choice!
The attitude of consumers is undoubtedly embarrassing for Xiaomi, Mei Da and others. The most direct manifestation is that the sales of these mobile phone manufacturers are declining at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This made Rebus and others anxious.
Especially for Rebus, Xiaomi’s new phone launch event this year is scheduled for the end of August. It’s only a few days away, but with all the fuss now, who else will pay attention to Xiaomi’s new phone?
Even if you pay attention, you probably have more negative emotions than positive ones.
thus.
It also casts a shadow over Xiaomi's future and destiny.
It is said that Rebus is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and even called Zhang Shuo, "Mr. Zhang, can you please consider the two configuration plans I mentioned before?"
Rebus, who was forced into a corner, hoped to still use the Zhulong Z1 chip in the Yidong version. It was not that he suddenly trusted the Zhulong chip again, but he wanted to use the Zhulong chip to clear his name.
This proves that Xiaomi has not completely fallen to Gaotong, and is still a company with sentiments.
"Sorry, the current production capacity of Zhulong Z1 chips is limited, so we can only give priority to meeting the needs of Maili mobile phones. After a few months, when the production capacity is increased, we can consider opening up the purchase for Xiaomi."
Zhang Shuo started to fight haha.
It's true that he's not narrow-minded, but he's not generous either. He's healed the scars and forgotten the pain. He'd just been stabbed in the back by Xiaomi, how could he help so easily?
It’s not realistic!
"All right......"
Rebus also wanted to be shameless. He heard Zhang Shuo's implication and his eyes were full of despair.
He couldn't even blame Zhang Shuo.
Because it was Xiaomi who was the first to "repay kindness with hatred", I think it was because of the overall interests of China Mobile that Ren Gemo took the initiative to bring Xiaomi and other friends into the Zhulong chip camp.
Later, fingerprint unlocking technology was also opened to Xiaomi.
As a result, Xiaomi and OV turned around and stabbed Mengya in the back, reaching a private agreement with Gaotong, which continued to cause Gaotong to issue a blocking order on Maili's mobile phone, in order to scare the monkeys.
If you don't blacklist your little pussy, you are already showing high moral integrity.
What more peanuts do you want?
"Boss, what should we do now?" President Xiaomi was also anxious.
"What should I do? I know what to do?"
Rebus has never been so helpless. "Miaoya ignores us, Gaotong cannot be offended, and consumers are still dissatisfied. Now we are like sandwich cakes. Everything we do is wrong."
Only at this moment did Rebus realize what it felt like to be manipulated.
I also gradually gained some understanding.
Why is the Germination Group under the management of Zhang Shuo so keen on technology research and development and breaking the technological blockade of overseas giants, even at any cost?
Don’t you just don’t want to end up like Xiaomi today?
There is an old saying that goes well——
"If you come out to fool around, you will have to pay it back sooner or later."
Just when Rebus was falling into mania, he suddenly received a call from Big Brother, "Come out and have a chat."
"I won't go."
Rebus subconsciously felt disgusted with this big brother.
"Really not coming? President Ke Meng is here, as well as President OV. Could it be that you don't want to get rid of Xiaomi's current predicament?" Big Brother's words were full of confusion.
