Chapter 99 My face hurts a bit
In a travel agency, several salesmen were chatting casually.
A neat and tidy young man in his early twenties was nonchalantly fiddling with the Fruit 5S that he had just bought when it was launched on the market. The phone was not in a case, but the brand of the phone was revealed from time to time.
During the chat, the topic of the latest mobile phones naturally came up. The young man looked at a beautiful and heroic female colleague in front of him and asked directly:
"Xiao Bing, didn't you always use 4S before? Why did you change to Hanwei?"
"I bought it when Hanwei's beauty update was last released. I gave the 4S to my mom."
The beautiful colleague whom he called Xiaobing said nonchalantly.
In fact, for her who already has pretty good conditions, the need for beauty filters is far less. However, girls all love beauty, and of course they would choose this option if they could look better.
"Ah? Can't Hanwei get a full refund? Guo Shui said they would upgrade the system."
The man fiddling with his 5S said in surprise.
"I tried it, it's pretty good, and the price is cheap. I've already got the information, so I'm too lazy to change it."
Xiaobing said it was a bargain without hesitation, which made the other party not know how to respond for a moment.
Fortunately, there was another female colleague next to me who had a few freckles and looked very lively.
"Gangzi, this is the latest model? It costs five or six thousand, right?"
"It's OK, 64GB for 6888, I got it myself, I didn't ask scalpers to raise the price."
When Gangzi found that someone was finally talking about this, he just smiled casually.
"Oh my god, it's already seven thousand. Fruit is really a steal."
Another older male colleague nearby was also surprised. It was okay that his cell phone didn't work. His cell phone, which cost just over a thousand yuan, was quite useful and it was also a smart phone.
Only Xiaobing gave a few perfunctory laughs and rolled her eyes secretly.
She knew exactly what Gangzi was thinking, but was too lazy to explain.
When the Apple Watch was first released, I got one right away, and it was indeed quite useful. However, after using the Hanwei, I found that this much cheaper phone was actually not bad at all!
The price of the fruit machine is still too high for my salary, so I have no intention of changing it.
Gangzi's performance is similar to mine. He bought a mobile phone for 7,000 yuan, which is really a huge investment.
"You know what, this iPhone is different. Android phones are all counterfeit after all. And the best thing about iPhone is the system. It doesn't require jailbreaking. I couldn't figure out how to use my previous iPhone."
Gangzi then began his performance incessantly.
"This Android phone will get stuck after using it for a long time. The system is not as good as the one used by Apple..."
"I think you lost several customers last time your phone got bricked."
Xiao Bing's sudden words hit Gangzi's trachea directly, and he almost suffocated.
"Upgrading is always likely to cause problems. I upgraded too quickly after all. I should have waited to see other people's reactions. They also reimbursed my account for twenty dollars, which is more than a hundred dollars. It almost made up for the loss. And that machine is an old model after all, and it may not be compatible with the new system. I changed it to a new one to avoid trouble."
Wow, Gangzi has managed to bring this up on his new phone again.
This made Xiaobing speechless and she started to check Weibo. As a result, she found that she could not escape the news about the fruit machine while checking Weibo. She stared at it for a long time with her eyes wide open.
Then, when Gangzi demonstrated Siri's voice function again, he turned over his phone screen and said
"World Corporation warns Apple, Four Star, and LG not to use their products illegally. They will sue these companies through legal means."
This statement choked Gangzi again. He looked back and saw that the official Weibo account of the world really said this, and Master Yi also reposted it, and he couldn't help but say in a bad mood:
"Come on, Master Yi is too arrogant. He is good at math, but he is so proud of making such a small software. What kind of company is Fruit? It is a company that pioneered a new era of smart phones. The last time there was a serious bug, the stock price fell a little that day. Such a strong R&D capability needs to be plagiarized? He is just trying to make a fuss."
But Xiao Bing then said
"That makes sense, but when I went back to compare it with my original 4S, I can't say that the beauty function is very similar, I can only say that it is exactly the same."
"It must be the same for everyone if we want to beautify the screen, just like we all use the Xinhua Dictionary when we speak."
Gangzi continued to argue, which made Xiaobing shrug his shoulders and say, "You win, I can't argue with you."
Then Gangzi quickly turned over some responses and said
"Look, Fruit and Four Stars have said that they no longer use the World's beauty filters. If the World continues to defame their reputations, they will sue! Haha, this is a real bummer, right? Master Yi is really confused. It's ok for him to show off in China, but he dares to touch the wall with foreign technology companies? But no one will tolerate him. He must be responsible for his words and abide by the law."
His words made the older male colleague unhappy.
"How can you talk like that? He is a great scientist in our country, don't always be so foreign-looking."
"Old Liu, you are too old-fashioned. You should go out more often and see more. You can't limit your horizons. You should learn to reflect."
Gangzi suddenly felt a sense of superiority for some reason, and the freckled girl also supported this.
But at this moment, Master 's Weibo account once again posted a new update:
"In order to prevent counterfeiting, we arranged some small easter eggs. For example, if you adjust the beauty level to level 6 and then take a photo of the word 'world', there will be an unexpected surprise."
Seeing this dynamic, Xiaobing did not hesitate at the moment, and directly wrote the word "世界" in beautiful regular script on the white paper. Then he adjusted his camera and took a picture. Then he saw the word "世界" in the picture directly evolved into the logo of the World Company!
After doing all this, Xiaobing unfolded the A4 paper and placed it in front of Gangzi with an expressionless face.
No words were spoken either.
That kind of cold aura made Gangzi feel suffocated.
"I just don't believe it. Fruits are useless..."
Looking at the World Company logo on the screen, Gangzi's remaining words got stuck in his throat. What the hell!
"Haha, it turns out that what you bought was parallel imports. Go back and defend your rights."
Xiao Bing hummed twice, then returned to her workstation and hummed a tune happily. She was so happy.
…
The war on the Internet is almost exactly the same.
When Sixing and LG announced that they would no longer cooperate and would use their own beauty filters, the official Weibo account of World Company and Master Yi’s account simultaneously issued warnings.
At that time, many fruit fans, four-star fans, and foreign moon ball fans were crazy and made accusations, saying that World Company and Master Yi could not afford to lose.
After all, Wang Yi’s response was different from last time. This time he directly said that you have infringed our rights and we are going to sue you!
"Do you have any evidence?!"
"You are so arrogant. Who do you really think you are?"
"You think you're so great just because you made a few games. I don't even know your last name!"
"Are games and software the same? Fruits can even make operating systems!"
"It's just a small software, why are you showing off like that?"
"Do you know the meaning of fruit? This is the beginning of a new era! If it's not a fruit company, who would you sell your beauty software to? Isn't the money you made before enough for you to show off?"
In particular, the intermediary accounts such as "Studying in the Beautiful Country", "Xiao D Says It's Beautiful", and "Free Air" seized the opportunity to start moving these remarks and frantically spreading Wang Yi's message on the external network.
There are also many fans of Apple on the Internet, and the status of four-star in South Korea is even higher. Coupled with the recent terrible popularity of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", it really attracted attention with the help of the popularity...
