Chapter 87 God Assists
The fruit operation is not that they don't want money, but to maximize profits.
After all, they did not sign an agreement and could not get first-hand technical support. They could only implant the device through decryption, which definitely slowed them down compared to other mobile phone manufacturers.
In order not to lose my share, I made this choice!
This will actually put other mobile phone manufacturers in the spotlight.
Either you follow suit, but this requires all the existing mobile phones to pay a beauty tax!
Otherwise you can just wait for consumers to curse you!
Especially for Hanwei and Xiaomai, which have already sold a lot of new models, they have been criticized by their old users.
Why is it okay for fruits but not for you?
Many Weibo users and fruit fans living abroad have also shared their experiences.
"This is how fruits protect consumers' rights."
"Haha, the way you eat in China is too ugly."
“Do you know what it means to respect consumers?”
"The people buying mobile phones in front are all suckers!"
I have to say that in the face of the actual discounts on the tickets, this wave of fruits can indeed easily gain considerable favor. After all, it is no longer a matter of support, but actually involves the little money in the pocket.
But the next moment, a thumbs-up icon appeared on Wang Yi’s Weibo.
"Fruit is noble, fruit is amazing, awesome, I admire you. I hope your company has really found a substitute and will not use our software."
Wang Yi didn’t care about it after he posted this. At least for Wang Yi, this wave of fruit operations...
That’s a good thing!
Because this will really force all manufacturers to learn this upgrade method. This is actually one of the predicted possibilities. Otherwise, the charging issue of old versions of mobile phones would not be emphasized in the contract.
The biggest benefit this time is the increase in Lin Shiqin's "eyeliner". Money is indeed a by-product , but if you can make more, it will definitely not be too little.
Wang Yi's words undoubtedly immediately aroused fierce criticism from the fruit fans who were currently in a frenzy.
Criticizing Wang Yi is saying that he is crazy about money.
"Master Yi, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Fruit's scientific research capabilities are number one in the world, how could they not develop a killer beauty app?"
"You take yourself too seriously!"
"You are so proud of yourself for winning a math award. Why don't you win a Nobel Prize?"
"Fruit is epoch-making! If it weren't for fruit, where would smartphones come from? Who would you sell your software to?"
"A game maker..."
A group of people attacked, but Wang Yi didn't care much.
The backdoor that Lin Shiqin left in the beauty software allows more than just her to enter and exit at will!
There is a special gift package for IOS, so Wang Yi only typed a few words.
"Let the bullets fly for a while."
After the incident, considering the possibility of a joint boycott by other mobile phone manufacturers, Wang Yixian took a step back online and said
"Since the largest company in the universe has shown such courage, small companies like us will follow suit. If major partners choose to upgrade their systems, the fees for old phones will be halved."
The contract is originally subject to execution and the ability to claim compensation.
This is also the reason why there are so many out-of-court settlements, because no one wants to waste time and energy.
Now that he has taken a step back, at least Wang Yi has gained the upper hand in terms of public opinion and morality, and it has also given other manufacturers a way out.
Hanwei and Xiaomai also knew how to take advantage of this opportunity. At the same time, they officially announced that the system will be upgraded soon, and users who have purchased the new model before can get it back at the original price as long as the phone is not damaged!
In fact, those two mobile phones were already good, and the prices were not increased, so apart from some people who already had good mobile phones and bought new ones specifically for the beauty function, there were not many returns.
Most of them were returned by former fruit users.
Naturally, other manufacturers had no choice but to follow suit.
Especially the four-star ones, they have the largest distribution volume, but at this time all manufacturers have followed suit, and after weighing the pros and cons, they can only accept it helplessly.
I had originally said that I would start using 'my own software' in a month, but now I'm forced by the fruit industry and can only use money to buy time.
Fortunately, Four Stars is wealthy and Wang Yi’s commission rate is not high. It is mainly a matter of face, so payment is not a problem.
The high-profile official announcement of the fruit made Wang Yi the only beneficiary, and the company's revenue soared.
Not counting previous inventory, global mobile phone shipments are expected to reach 1.8 billion units this year alone!
Wang Yi's company, which was founded two months ago, has made a fortune thanks to this mini program, and its cash reserves have skyrocketed.
"Take care of the overseas funds. As for domestic ones, try to acquire the small broken station first, and then prepare for the live broadcast. It's a good opportunity to use the first live broadcast of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to warm up the game."
4G is still a little bit away from being launched, but with the support of Lin Shiqin's algorithm and channel, there will be no problem in starting the live broadcast era earlier.
By the time everyone got used to it, the 4G era had almost begun.
Originally, the 'World Culture Entertainment Games' company was just for Wang Yiming to use for fun, so he could do whatever he wanted with the money in China.
There is no doubt that the fan stickiness of the small broken station is strong. Although it lacks monetization channels, since it is not short of money, it can just keep the fans.
The same is true for live streaming. The early live streaming industry was a money-burning industry, and the communication fees paid to operators alone were a considerable expense.
It is almost impossible to make a profit from gifts.
However, the dimensionality reduction attack from the technological side is so fierce that a groundbreaking beauty function alone can directly reap the benefits of major mobile phone manufacturers!
Of course, this was actually driven by the help of fruit.
Without fruits to help count the inventory, it would take a long time to accumulate if we just rely on slowly shipping them out.
"No problem. This little broken website has no monetization channels right now. As long as there is enough money, acquisition will not be a problem."
Lin Shiqin still holds a large amount of funds overseas, and these in China are Wang Yi's pocket money.
"The fruit guys have helped us, so why do we still have to do that? Isn't that too cruel?"
Lin Shiqin then asked again.
"Let's put things in perspective. Didn't they say they didn't use our software? What does that have to do with us? And wasn't this a feature you added? Why do you think I'm being cruel?"
Lin Shiqin is the kind of person who would say things like "it's too cruel" but then chop others into meat paste with his eyes closed. Oh, she's really worrying.
"It's their own fault. You can't blame me."
Lin Shiqin said innocently.
In fact, it is not a big deal. After the number of IOS devices implanted with this software exceeds 100,000, there may be a small time bug, which will quickly switch the time to 1970. It will be automatically corrected later.
Well, as for the loopholes in IOS itself that cause the phone to become bricked, what does this have to do with our beauty software?
Didn't you say that you have no use for us?
Of course, Apple will definitely do relevant tests before updating, but the number of tests will not reach the threshold, so it will not be surprising if it passes normally.
They had never discovered this BUG.
Anyway, the fruit company attaches great importance to consumers, so they will definitely have something to say...
