Chapter 3211 We are all family!

This kind of mobile phone evaluation and scoring software is related to two industries.

One is the Internet industry and the other is the smartphone industry.

They are all closely related to Zhou Buqi.

He stood up to uphold justice, not only because of his position in the industry, but also because of Ziweixing's mission.

The model of many mobile phone evaluation software nowadays is actually similar to many rogue software in the past, which can make you obsessed. Ziweixing became famous overnight by eliminating the rogue software industry, and it tore a hole in the BAT pattern of the Internet industry and rushed out.

After so many years, is the mission that Ziweixing pursued back then still there?
Of course, Zhou Buqi still hopes that the industry can develop healthily.

The healthier he is, the better it is for him.

Only those who live in darkness like to fish in troubled waters. Boss Zhou has always done business in an upright manner.

Boss Lei is now powerless to support the evaluation industry. He said, "Last year, Lao Luo challenged the founder of a mobile phone evaluation software to an online battle. Did you know about this?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, I know. Lao Luo is not good at business, but he is still good at talking. After all, he graduated from New Oriental."

Lei Jun nodded. "You are right. He is good at debate, but not at business. At least I have never publicly criticized the mobile phone review industry on any occasion, and neither have other Xiaomi executives."

"Ok?"

Zhou Buqi heard the hidden meaning in his words.

Lei Jun said calmly: "Last year, Luo won a great victory in the Internet debate. It can be said that he crushed his opponent. After several hours of debate, he won in all aspects. But this is only a win or loss in the debate. In the market, Luo can be said to have been completely defeated."

Zhou Buqi reacted immediately, "Retaliation?"

"Yeah." Lei Jun nodded. "I don't know if Luo Yonghao has a bad temper or his PR team is not good enough. I don't understand why he wants to participate in such a debate. Is it just to vent his anger? Or does he want to attract attention and earn traffic? I don't know. This is a quarrel between children. He feels a little sorry for the investors. After the fight, the ratings of all Hammer smartphones will never go up again."

Zhou Buqi took a deep breath and said, "These people in the mobile phone evaluation industry are all in the same group."

"They are not in the same group, but at least they are all protecting common interests. They are all making money from mobile phone manufacturers." Boss Lei has already analyzed the plot thoroughly. "The competition between evaluation software is an internal contradiction in the evaluation industry. The competition between evaluation software and smartphones is an enemy-enemy contradiction. When making a choice, they will definitely stick together to protect the overall interests."

Zhou Buqi agreed, "That's right."

Luo is a bit impetuous. He is fine as a teacher, but he is not suitable for business. His personality and philosophy are not good enough. After he left New Oriental, he always spoke ill of his former employer. Mature and experienced investors can completely reject him based on this point.

But some people just don't believe in evil. They don't learn lessons from past mistakes and still invest money with full trust. If they lose money, they can only blame themselves.

In this internet fight, Lao Luo indeed won.

But for Hammer smartphones, this is undoubtedly a fatal blow, offending the smartphone evaluation industry. From now on, Hammer smartphones will never get high scores in evaluations again. Most consumers don’t know much about smartphone performance and configuration, and can only judge the quality of smartphones by the numerical values ​​of the running scores.

To put it bluntly, the mobile phone review industry holds the right to evaluate mobile phones.

You offended the judges, and you still want to win the award?

The market recognition of Hammer phones will inevitably decline significantly.

Zhou Buqi's disapproval of Lao Luo is based on business reasons, but he still admires his sense of justice. Lao Luo did nothing wrong in the online fight, and he is standing up for the smartphone industry.

However, he had to bear all the costs, and many people in the industry even gloated over it and laughed at him.

Zhou Buqi felt a little indignant, so he took out his cell phone and called Wang Xiaochuan.

Wang Xiaochuan hasn't gotten off work yet.

He is in charge of the Weidian business group, which includes not only Weidian search, but also many Weidian software, such as Weidian antivirus, Weidian music, Weidian browser, Weidian input method, Weidian mobile assistant, Weidian dictionary, etc.

If Ziweixing wants to make an authoritative evaluation product, it will definitely be included in the Weidian sequence.

Zhou Buqi got straight to the point, "Xiaotian, mobile phone evaluation software, do you know it?"

Wang Xiaochuan said: "Yes, I have had this plan before."

"Did you have a plan? But it wasn't implemented?" Zhou Buqi was a little puzzled.

Because "Weidian" can be said to be the largest software brand in China, almost all tool software products have the shadow of Weidian. Many software actually do not make money, but are working to build the "Weidian" brand.

Wang Xiaochuan said straightforwardly: "No, it didn't make it past the business group stage. Later, I talked to Yiming about it, and he was not optimistic about this business either. It was controversial, required a lot of investment, and lacked effective returns."

For a company like Ziweixing, if it wants to develop a new product, it has to go through layers of approval.

First the business group, then the business line, and then the business group.

After passing the business group stage, it still needs to be approved by the CEO.

The reason why the CEO is the head of a company and is called the Chief Executive Officer is actually because of this. At the execution level, the CEO is the first decision maker and he needs to understand every product in every business line.

It's just that Zhou Buqi was lazy and didn't get involved in these matters, so all the power was delegated to President Zhang Yiming.

Zhou Buqi asked: "There should be a market for this direction, right?"

Wang Xiaochuan hesitated and said, "This is really complicated. Whether there is a market or not... this is not the decisive factor."

"what is that?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Zhou Buqi is very puzzling.

Wang Xiaochuan said: "Because some people don't want us to do it."

"Who?" Zhou Buqi opened his eyes wide, "Who can still direct us to do things?"

Wang Xiaochuan quickly said, "It's not what you think. It's due to the complexity of the market. I think you can go and ask Estar about it."

"Hmm?" Zhou Buqi was slightly startled, "Esda?"

Wang Xiaochuan said cryptically, "The most popular mobile phone evaluation software on the market right now is called AnTuTu. It is very successful and has more than 1 million users."

"Shit!" Zhou Buqi immediately understood what he meant, "Is Esda the biggest sponsor behind AnTuTu?"

Then, he glanced at Boss Lei who was sitting opposite him, drinking red wine calmly.

I just want to curse.

You are so good, Lei Bushi, setting me up again?
If you think about it carefully, it is actually not difficult to analyze.

Asda is the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer in terms of shipments, not only overseas, but also in the domestic market. With so many mobile phones sold, how could Asda not cooperate with the mobile phone evaluation industry?

Mr. Lei wants to use Mr. Zhou's sense of morality and justice to take over the mobile phone evaluation industry, and by the way, eliminate some non-market advantages that Astar has in the competition.

Wang Xiaochuan went on to say, “Not only that, AnTuTu’s mobile phone evaluation was launched a few years ago, and it didn’t do very well at first. Later, we received financing and received guidance from this investor, and modified our business model to a certain extent, moving towards… well, the direction of rogue software, and then it became a huge success.”

"Guidance from investors?" Zhou Buqi's heart slightly moved, knowing that the other party would not casually cut into this topic, "Who is the investor?"

Wang Xiaochuan said, "Fu Sheng."

"Ho!"

Zhou Buqi slapped his thigh.

interesting!
They are all people around me!

It turns out that everyone behind AnTuTu points to Boss Zhou.

Wang Xiaochuan smiled and said, "When Fu Sheng was at Ziweixing, his product concept was not in line with our values. He always liked to use some rogue means to gain market position. Later, he resigned and was taken to the United States by you to start a business. Didn't he sell his Panda Mobile to Cisco?"

"Well, it was sold. The project was very successful."

Zhou Buqi now understood what was going on.

Wang Xiaochuan said, "Fu Sheng's team has a group of people. In addition to starting a business in the United States, he has not neglected investment in China, mainly in some rogue software-related things. It seems that he has invested in seven or eight companies. Since last year, AnTuTu has emerged and has been a great success. Well... AnTuTu's success is related to Fu Sheng's guidance and investment, and it should also be closely related to his matchmaking. Esda should be the one he contacted to help AnTuTu become the number one in the market."
