Chapter 246 The strength of updating one version a day
The competitive nature of Internet-based business can sometimes be particularly strange.

In the information age, many businesses will be affected by the Internet.

Li Ze expected that Yu Dadong would end quickly, and also predicted that some other domestic mobile phone manufacturers would not let go of this opportunity to sell, but he did not expect the follow-up.

He knows that with the current global division of labor and cooperation model, if a mobile phone is completely stripped of the software layer including the system, there will be little room for value and competition.

There is a term called software added value.

This is one of the most important selling points of domestic mobile phone manufacturers in the current smartphone industry, so they have to end it.

And there are too many examples of software added value in the mobile phone industry.

Such as MIUI to Mi series.

For example, Google, which masters Android, requires that Android in the international market must be accompanied by a GMS suite even though it is free and open source, so it earns a lot of money.

Speaking of Google, it has established a nexus mobile phone brand, and only released a tablet symbolically, and all other models are joint models with mobile phone manufacturers.

In the end, the brand did not survive.

Because, if the added value of the software is removed, and the core hardware is not mastered, it will be very difficult to play, almost all hand-to-hand combat.

Google has no idea of ​​developing core hardware, and holds Android + GMS, too lazy to earn hard money.

After Bolang officially entered the mobile phone business, Li Ze's opinion after in-depth research on this industry became more and more accurate.

Therefore, I admire Wen Liang's decisive plan at the beginning of the year, and let Zhang Yulin and Qin Zheng study a core respectively.

If Bolang is only based on the secondary development of Android, instead of developing its own system from scratch, how it develops at the software level will be nothing more than the same as the current situation.

If Bolang doesn't work hard to research the processing chip, one of the core hardware of mobile phones, it will be very hard to develop like Google.

Moreover, there is an open source Android system with a good ecology, and the living space of a single star system is also very narrow.

These, Li Ze can see more clearly from Bolang's platform.

Speaking of which, Wen Liang admires Li Ze's views on the mobile phone business. This thing has not been reborn, but it can analyze so many things.

Because all these analyzes of Li Ze have gradually become a reality since about 16.

If it hadn't reached the stage where hand-to-hand combat is necessary, how could the two sub-brands of OV have such a strategy of lowering the price.

The general disappointment of consumers with MOV, the purchase of Juchang's high-end series, and the choice of Apple, which can't be avoided, are another proof.

In short, although Li Ze's analysis was relatively accurate, he did not think that the situation would be so complicated due to the intervention of various forces and the sand sculpture netizens following to fan the flames.

Therefore, Li Ze can only dynamically adjust all aspects of planning.

In so many competitions in the past, Wen Liangjuzhong's command is as easy as it is, and it's not for nothing. Mr. Ze still learned a few tricks.

Soon, Li Ze initiated a conference call—after the launch of the star system was officially finalized, important members of the development teams of each sub-project were also arranged to be online [-]/[-], and necessary positions had to work overtime according to the situation.

After the conference call was connected, Li Ze got straight to the point: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Yang, everyone, I need to confirm one thing. With our current development resources, can we guarantee to iterate a small version every day based on bug feedback."

Zhang Yulin answered first: "Yes, the laboratory has adjusted the development process, and there are five teams responsible for the same sub-project."

"There is no problem with the graphical interface." Yang Xingshan continued, "We have sufficient development resources here."

"We're fine here."

Therefore, Li Ze directly made a decision: "The situation caused by the launch of the first version of the system is extremely complicated. We need a more flexible response to seize the opportunities. The current plan is to update the version every day to solve key vulnerabilities."

"Make full use of the popularity of public opinion and strive to expand the testing group to millions."

After saying this, Li Ze turned to say: "Boss Yin, you are under the greatest pressure and need any support to communicate at any time. We have to race against time to complete the prerequisites for the development of the application ecology."

Sun Baoyin responded calmly: "Don't worry."

In the end, Li Ze said frankly and sincerely: "The launch of the system this time is not Mr. Wen's idea. He has nothing to do. Now it seems that I am a little anxious. It is my problem. But there is no turning back. I hope everyone will be united." Work together!"

"President Ze, don't worry!"

"must!"

"..."

Wen Liang is the one who finalizes the matter, let alone start now, even if you have seen the bad results, everyone will work hard.

This is the leadership charm that Wen Liang has established in Bolang.

…………

After receiving the confidence given by the development team, Li Ze arranged various affairs non-stop.

Speaking of which, the reason why the development team is so confident is thanks to the multi-group and multi-generation R&D model established during the first large-scale expansion.

It is almost guaranteed that the development team can support the company's business needs under all circumstances.

Soon, the Stars Forum released a special announcement, and the FAQs of the Stars Forum and the administrators of various online discussion groups forwarded the content of the announcement at the same time.

The general content is:
"Thank you very much for your support to the Star System. Considering the many problems in the Star System, the Star System will update a version every day for the next 30 days. Each update will solve all the loopholes that were reported before 24 o'clock the previous day and optimize the experience. !
The bug feedback submitted the day before will be verified before 18:[-] the next day, and bug subsidies will be issued. "

"We believe that with the support of all enthusiasts, the star system will become the most popular system and provide the best gaming experience!

Our goal is to become a mobile phone system that can play games smoothly and solve the problem of mobile phone fever through the system level!
Born without fever! "

This is a long announcement.

Of course it is also a letter of challenge.

The administrators of online discussion groups in various forums patiently expressed the attitude of Star Studio: "The content of the announcement is our commitment, and we only want to let everyone experience the best human-computer interaction!"

"Don't worry, everything will be resolved!"

Group member: "One version per day, I can only say that it is awesome, and I am looking forward to the tomorrow of the star system."

"I'm looking forward to tomorrow when we will participate in person."

"..."

Compared with the atmosphere of the discussion group, the opinions of forum visitors are much more chaotic.

The FAQ is almost overwhelmed.

"It's convenient to ask, where does your confidence come from?"

"One version a day, to be honest, if it can be done, I'm afraid it can be compared with MIUI in a few months."

"MIUI only dares to say one version a week, what are you doing?"

FAQ: "Please trust our ability."

"I'm curious, where did your Xingchen Studio get the resources? The handwriting is getting bigger and bigger every time."

"Yeah, you can still convince Bolang, won't it belong to Bolang?"

"Oh huh?"

FAQ: "Star Studio is an independent system research and development studio, at least for now, and we are not sure about the future. Our resources come from our confidence in the Star system."

"..."

It was announced that this wave of discussions, under Li Ze's intentional control, was only concentrated on the Stars forum for the time being.

Did not let the heat explode directly on other social media platforms.

.........

At 0.41:[-] p.m., the verified internal version O[-] was uploaded to the system update server.

What was released yesterday was O0.39, and today it has become O0.41, that is, two versions have been iterated in the middle.

This is the confidence given by Zhang Yulin and Yang Xingshan.

The iteration of the development team is much faster than expected. Although the multi-group and multi-generation R&D model was extremely wasteful of resources at the beginning, it was extremely efficient afterwards.

The version of O0.41 displayed to the public is in [Settings] → [About this machine], there is a column [Software version]: Xingchen 0.11 (0922P4).

The current version number is in front, and the date and time are in the back.

Before the official release of the mobile phone by Bolang, the current version number will always start with '0.', and '1' will be reserved for the press conference. At the same time, after the official release of the mobile phone, the word 'star' will only be displayed in the [Software Update] column middle.

Subsequently, the internal O0.41 version began to be updated in various forms.

The first one is for 1000 experience volunteers, and their system will be automatically hot updated if there is no cancellation after the prompt.

The second is for all enthusiasts who have already flashed their phones and become a star system, prompting for an update, and automatically updating after agreeing.

The third is to put it on all flashing enthusiast forums, including the Stars forum.

This updated version does not add compatible models.

In Li Ze's plan, he does not plan to adapt more models, because it is not necessary at all, and now he just wants to speed up the improvement of user experience through millions of test objects.

There are even some common problems or bugs, which will be pretended to be dead with a uniform caliber, that is: not resolved.

Because the star system is a brand new system, there are a large number of compatibility issues, and a small number of compatibility issues do not need to be resolved.

It is only necessary not to select a certain supplier of a certain hardware in the subsequent supply chain.

……

At 36:1000, Li Ze saw through the background that more than 960 of the 3000 experience volunteers had completed the update. After a total of [-] users who chose the hot update, Li Ze immediately proceeded to the next step.

Coordinating the marketing and promotion companies including Deng Pei's 'Peixuan' company, and a small number of brand partners including the model worker's sister 'Xixi Xuejie' to quickly promote the news.

The related events were already extremely popular, and the rhythm immediately flew up.

It can be said that the crowd is excited.

"Damn it, I just saw the announcement from Xingchen Studio, one version will be updated every day for the next 30 days, and the bugs left over from the previous day will be solved every day. Do you want to be so exaggerated?"

"Don't lie, the new version has been pushed more than ten minutes ago, and many people have updated it, just wait, the complaints are coming soon."

"..."

Jiu Ai: "Just after the update, let me make a complaint first. The logic problem of the voice assistant 'Xiaoxing' has not been modified. Some common bugs in the previous version have been solved a lot. Among them, there is a screenshot button in the taskbar, which is worthwhile. praise;

There are more complaints than yesterday. My Mi 1 Youth Edition has a strange audio problem. As far as I know, other Mi 1 Youth Edition friends have also encountered it, but other models don’t seem to have it;

Then it affects the game experience, which is a bit uncomfortable!

There are various other problems. I won’t mention them one by one. A version can be updated every day. If no new bugs are created, it is estimated that the easy-to-use version will be available next month. Let’s wait and see. "

The machine circle is responsible: "I feel that Star Studio should focus on the bottom layer at this stage, and more specifically the kernel layer. They are really brave. They actually performed major surgery on the Android kernel. It is useless from the root. Over the ext4 file system, strong!
In fact, there are many things I want to complain about. It was a defective product yesterday, and it is still a defective product today, and some parts are even more defective;

But as an Android developer, I can only say that I admire the courage of Xingchen Studio and am amazed by their courage. "

"Brother Ji basically spoke my mind, but I still have to complain, it is really more difficult to use than yesterday, and the forum FAQ means not to fix the media layer loopholes of Mi 1 Youth Edition, because it is unnecessary;
I can understand this. After all, the system will eventually be paired with mobile phones, just like Alibaba Cloud OS. Some inexplicable compatibility issues are related to some hardware, and the solution is expensive and useless. "

Then, some people exploded.

For example, MIUIA: "Fuck, Xingchen Studio is targeting us. It's too much. There are only 4 models that are really supported. Mi 1 Youth Edition is the latest Mi series that can be bought. This is really too much!"

A group of small sorghum fans also exploded, some privately wrote to Lei Jun through Xiaocheng Shu, and some directly @.

Directly quarreling.

Chaos escalated again.
