Chapter 3213 The Favorable Party

One of the important labels of the image that Zhou Buqi presented to the outside world was that he was moral and polite. Even in a commercial war, he was very disciplined in his actions and hardly took any extraordinary actions. Everything was within the range acceptable to each other.

This image brought him huge fame in the industry.

At the same time, it also became his weakness.

Many people adopt open strategies when competing. They say that his business is unethical and not very authentic when competing in the market. I hope that Boss Zhou can take action to manage it and make his subordinates behave themselves.

Under the halo, it was really hard for Zhou Buqi to refuse.

Take micro-business for example.

This business once made Boss Ma feel threatened. After Alibaba went public, the problem of counterfeit goods became the focus of attention of both China and the United States, putting Alibaba at the center of the storm, so that Boss Ma had to take drastic measures to clean up the counterfeit stores on Taobao.

Such behavior has greatly promoted the development of WeChat business.

Those merchants who can’t survive on Taobao have all turned to WeChat business!

Boss Ma was very worried.

Isn't this just revolutionizing oneself?
He found Zhou Buqi and launched a moral offensive.

The effect is really good.

Boss Zhou has already ordered the banning of Wechat businesses.

Now, Boss Lei also wants to use this trick.

The difference is that AnTuTu is not a company under Ziweixing, nor has it received investment from Astar. In terms of shares, it has nothing to do with Boss Zhou.

Zhou Buqi is a businessman after all. He will not consider everything from the perspective of morality and justice. He said frankly: "If you come to me about this matter, I can't help you. From the perspective of the development of the mobile phone industry, it may not be a bad thing."

Lei Jun said with a headache: "This interferes with the healthy development of the industry."

Zhou Buqi asked: "This kind of mobile phone evaluation software should also have a market abroad, right?"

"Ok?"

"Domestic users cannot understand the configuration data of mobile phones, and foreign users are even more confused. Logically speaking, foreign users need this kind of evaluation software more. Product comparison is conducive to promoting the market and facilitating the overseas competition of domestic mobile phones."

"Ok?"

A question mark on Lei Junyi’s forehead.

Zhou Buqi smiled and asked, "Does AnTuTu have a market overseas?"

Lei Jun didn't want to change the angle of entry, but there was nothing he could do. "It should be possible. Fu Sheng should be pushing."

"Fu Sheng sold Panda Mobile and has a three-year non-compete agreement..." Zhou Buqi shook his head secretly, "This guy really can't sit still. If he wants to run AnTuTu, he has to do it secretly. His business ethics are really poor!"

Lei Jun sighed and said, "So you are not going to intervene in this matter?"

Zhou Buqi said: "This type of tool-type software lacks a reasonable business model, and Silicon Valley giants generally do not make it. If Silicon Valley giants do not do it, then no one will be a competitor to these domestic software manufacturers in this market. Fu Sheng secretly guiding AnTuTu to go overseas should be very effective."

Lei Jun said, "This is not a legitimate product." Zhou Buqi nodded, "I'll tell him later not to go too far and use all the rogue software tricks on AnTuTu. If this irritates Apple and Google, they might ban it completely. This loophole will definitely become more and more strict, and the gameplay of the past few years will definitely not work."

He really got it right.

In the previous life, the person behind AnTuTu was actually this big boss Lei.

Therefore, one of the most important parts of Xiaomi’s press conference is running scores, and people often say “If you don’t agree, run the score.”

It's simple, they are family!

Behind AnTuTu is Cheetah Mobile. 85% of AnTuTu's shares are in Cheetah's hands, and Cheetah was acquired by Kingsoft and is a subsidiary of Kingsoft. Mr. Lei is the chairman of Kingsoft and the biggest boss.

But then things got troublesome.

After AnTuTu went overseas, it still used the same old tricks. It was not a conspiracy between AnTuTu and the mobile phone manufacturers, but the product itself used various rogue tricks... For example, if you want to close AnTuTu, you need to click the "X" button in the upper right corner to close it. But in fact, the close button is somewhere else. This "X" button is the entrance to the advertisement, which directly brings users to the advertisement page.

Apple took action early and removed AnTuTu from its shelves.

Soon, Google could no longer tolerate it and took a more drastic approach, permanently banning all Cheetah-owned software. The main reason was that they went too far, and no one in the world would do this. It was already 2018, and they were still using the same old tricks used by rogue software more than a decade ago. It was really too far.

Such strategies must be stopped.

If you want to conduct reviews, just do the reviews on mobile phones honestly. Earning some cooperation fees from mobile phone manufacturers would be a very good business.

Seeing that he was unwilling to participate, Lei Jun could only say: "If the evaluation software industry is not restricted and I can't change it, then I can only follow the trend."

Zhou Buqi laughed when he heard it, "What do you mean?"

Lei Jun said: "Xiaomi has not yet cooperated with any evaluation software, and the negative effect has already appeared, resulting in low scores for many Xiaomi models. Xiaomi's latest round of financing has a valuation of 500 billion US dollars. I have to be responsible for the investors. Mobile phone evaluation has an increasingly greater impact on the industry, and Xiaomi cannot remain immune."

"What are you going to do?"

"Kingsoft will develop an authoritative and credible mobile phone evaluation software."

"Come back and take care of Xiaomi, right?"

Zhou Buqi laughed haha.

Lei Jun said seriously: "No, Kingsoft's products will definitely reflect fairness and credibility."

Zhou Buqi didn't believe it. "Even if you want a fair and impartial review, will others believe it? Everyone knows that you are the boss of Kingsoft. Kingsoft's review software is used to test Xiaomi, how can the running score data not be high? As long as you are involved, you can't get away from it."

Lei Jun smiled and asked, "What should we do then?"

"Hmm?" Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, and his heart moved slightly, thinking that this guy was waiting here, right? However, he still wanted to put forward his own suggestion, "Go find Fu Sheng and cooperate with AnTuTu. AnTuTu has already built up the market, and it is not so easy for Kingsoft to make a similar product to defeat AnTuTu."

Lei Jun smiled and said, "Xiaomi also cooperates with AnTuTu? Well, this is also a good choice. AnTuTu has already established the market and has credibility. If mobile phone manufacturers in the industry uniformly adopt AnTuTu as the evaluation platform, this may not be a bad thing."

Zhou Buqi said unhappily: "Then why don't you just go find An Tutu? Why are you looking for me?"

Lei Jun said: "Come and help me. The cooperation between Astar and Antutu was arranged by Fu Sheng. I am not familiar with Fu Sheng. If you help to say a word, all the problems will be solved. The mobile phone evaluation industry is indeed unfair to the market. If Xiaomi can establish a deep cooperative relationship with Antutu, then Xiaomi can be in a favorable position in the unfair competition like Astar."
