Chapter 285 Battle Results and Good News
In order to deeply promote Range and Stars in overseas markets, some tertiary departments or groups of Bolang Group have paid some costs.

For example, three shifts.

For example, some businesses are mainly based on Eastern Time.

For this reason, it also shows the background of Bolang Group's continuous optimization of organizational structure and human resource structure.

The length of the day in global time on the 8th.

Everything is moving too fast.

On the morning of the 8th Eastern Time, members of Apple's public relations affairs were still discussing and discussing countermeasures to avoid worse results.

The final decision was to avoid actively 'intersecting' with Stars.

And the morning of Eastern Time was not over yet, and the media had already surrounded Apple's headquarters.

What's even more frightening is that Apple's stock fell 9% intraday!

Even more frightening is that Apple's recent market performance itself is not ideal.

On Wednesday, 7th Eastern Time, the Eastern District Court of Texas ruled that Apple's FaceTime video chat technology infringed VirnetX's patent, and Apple must pay VirnetX $3.68 million in damages.

Affected by this news, at the close of the day, Apple fell 3.83% from the previous day, down 22.20 US dollars, to close at 558.00 US dollars, with a market value of 5249.1 billion US dollars.

What's even more frightening is that in the past few weeks, Apple's performance has been really poor. The stock price has evaporated by 20% from the peak, and $1300 billion has disappeared. ①
Affected by news from various parties, Apple's stock price fell when the market opened on the 8th.

The news that the experience of the Stars system on the iPhone 5 model surpassed the native iOS in almost all aspects was spread infinitely, which had a more profound impact and blow on Apple's market performance.

At the same time when some media dispatched by various forces such as spectators who are not too serious, ulterior motives, competing products, etc. surrounded Apple's headquarters and kept raising questions.

Apple's stock price plummeted.

Compared with the closing price of US$558 the previous day, it has decreased by US$53.16, and the latest price is US$504.84. The market value is about US$4749 billion, and a full US$500 billion has been evaporated in one go!
This kind of victory is of course not the credit of Bo Lang, but the joint efforts of all forces in America.

Hardest working is Apple itself.

How to put it, Apple just experienced management turmoil last month, and the current CEO Cook made adjustments to the company's management.

News has surfaced that the senior vice president of iOS software is preparing to leave the company.

Although Bolang is easy to provoke, it does not mean that Bolang has not collected and summarized information.

Making the right operation at the right time has always been an important impression of Bolang's senior management on Wen Liang's business operations.

…………

In the middle of the night, on the 65th floor of the IFC Building in Yangcheng, the office of the general manager of Bolang Company
Wen Liang, Tang Pu, Chen Jiaxin, Li Bowen, Wang Wanyu, and Li Xia gathered together.

On a large-size multimedia TV that was pushed over, the grand occasion of "blocking the door" at the entrance of Apple's headquarters was being played.

Wen Liang sat on the reception sofa, took the trouble to boil water and make tea again, and said in a leisurely tone: "Very beautiful chemical reaction."

"Yes." Everyone present agreed.

Because they have witnessed the rapid progress in the past four days.

Stars took the lead overseas, and range was promoted in Tuao, followed by a US$15 challenge that attracted netizens all over the world, and then the official Stars and range officials took the lead successively.

A small number of overseas iPhone5 model holders switched to Stars.

The routine of easter eggs is linked together.

The game experience beats iOS.

The media took the initiative to block the door.

Apple's stock price plummeted.

Tang Pu expressed his admiration: "Who would have thought that the 'culprit' of the evaporating market value of 500 billion US dollars is that our President Wen gently waved his hand in the East!"

Li Bowen sighed deeply: "Yes, as early as the National Day, Mr. Wen had already spread the stalls, just waiting for the outbreak of Apple's own conflicts, which can be said to be a model operation of four or two."

Chen Jiaxin was also afraid of falling behind, shaking her head and praising: "Mr. Wen is more tactful. This is a classic case called the butterfly effect, which can be written into textbooks. Our Mr. Wen gently waved his hand in the east, and the stock price of Apple in the west fell. It is very subtle and reasonable. .”

Wen Liang poured a cup of tea, and said dissatisfied: "It's not bad."

Lixia, the only 'outsider', is not surprised by this situation.

Then, Wen Liang said: "To be serious, is it possible for the Apple spokesperson who you think must appear to mention our star system."

Tang Pu analyzed: "According to some of the previous reactions, Apple is obviously aware of the existence of the star system, and it is listed as a threat. Their solution is also beneficial to them, and they will not give us a chance to spread the heat."

"In the current situation, they should avoid answering such questions, but Western media have always been known for their boldness and sharpness, so it's hard to say what kind of chemical reaction there will be."

Chen Jiaxin put forward a different view: "I don't think we need to pay too much attention to Apple's response. If they don't mention it, we can still get hot."

Li Bowen put forward his opinion from a technical point of view: "Next, we will turn to the confrontation at the technical level. The star system has too many defects in the application ecology. Should we promote ecS overseas?"

Wang Wanyu and Li Xia didn't speak much.

Mr. Wang usually doesn't speak easily now, Lixia feels that he has been left behind recently and has not been able to keep up with the level.

Wen Liang glanced at the TV screen, it was still a noisy scene and public relations maintained order, and Apple hadn't started to answer questions on the spot yet.

But everyone knows that if you don't do it, you can't do it.

Smacking his lips with a little regret, he said in a gentle tone: "It would be the most perfect form if we have someone on the scene. We need to ask some questions, even if they may not be answered."

"For example, did Foster, the senior vice president of iOS software, leave Apple?"

"Like, what advantage does iOS have over Stars?"

After saying this, Wen Liang looked at everyone: "ecS doesn't need to be promoted specially, we have to wait for Mr. Yin to complete his research results, and then we will make great efforts to launch it. Now we can let nature take its course. Anyway, the background statistics show that the number of overseas downloads of ecS has exceeded 500. This time, it can be regarded as taking root and sprouting."

Li Bowen thought for a while and said, "That's right. Anyway, a large part of overseas regions are more curious about new things than domestic ones. The main direction now is to make Stars famous overseas."

Hearing Li Bowen's words, Tang Pu continued: "It's best to pull Google Android out of the game. If it becomes chaotic, everything will be promoted by Stars. Maybe our first-generation products can be exported to overseas markets."

In fact, the current situation is very wonderful for Bolang.

Because Bolang started from playing with public opinion, and his best role is the weak challenger, and the end of the big factory, he has always been delivering food.

For example, in New Weibo, Bolang has become the largest shareholder.

For example, White Goose has become a strategic partner of Bolang.

Specific to the mobile phone industry, the case is Xiaosorghum.

When Xingchen was still in the name of Xingchen Studio, there was a 'collision' with Xiao Sorghum.

But now, Lei Jun, Boss Lei, is having a headache.

In order to maintain cost-effectiveness and maintain a balance between production capacity and profit, Mi 2 can still only follow the path of "hunger marketing", but more than half of the machines sold by Mi 2 have switched to the Star system.

In the domestic market, the application ecological foundation of the star system is not bad.

People are becoming more and more accustomed to the scale of applications based on the application store of the star system. QQ is based on the computer terminal, and the best experience at this stage is still the computer terminal.

But Xiaochengshu is not, Xiaochengshu has been working on mobile experience.

Also, the review threshold of the star system application store is very strict, and all the applications that can be launched have a rare cleanliness and smoothness, which naturally makes people more happy.

Now, Bolang is applying so many successful experiences to overseas markets, and the first application object is the giant company Apple.

The goal is to make Stars popular overseas with the help of Apple's popularity.

…………

With the increasingly severe market performance and the increasingly lively situation in front of the company, Apple finally sent a spokesperson.

CEO Cook did not deal with it personally. He has more important things to deal with the board of directors.

Apple's spokesperson is of course very good, and it took a little time to appease the order at the scene.

Then politely say if you can say a few words first.

Of course, the media did not pay the bill.

"May I ask when Mr. Cook plans to show up?"

"How does Cook feel about Apple's poor performance since he took office?"

"We want to know why Apple's iOS can't take full advantage of the performance of the iPhone 5 model."

"Do you admit that iPhone5 is the most failed product?"

"..."

The order of the scene that had just been appeased was chaotic again, and the sharpness of the Western media can be seen. Some of them were competitors who wished for Apple to die sooner, or the media itself.

Wen Liang watched the play while drinking tea, and said with some unfinished thoughts: "There is no one present, it's almost meaningless, it depends on Mr. Ze."

Li Xia thought to himself: "Isn't this sharp enough? If this continues, the sales of iPhone 5 will disappear."

She didn't say.

For Bolang terminal, iPhone5 is gone now, which is actually not a good thing.

The Apple spokesperson pretended not to hear those sharp questions, and said calmly: "Thank you very much for your attention to us."

"We believe that everyone has noticed the excellent hardware of the iPhone 5 model, which just shows our excellent control over the product."

"iOS is an epoch-making, great, and intelligent system."

"At the same time, it is also a system that needs to be continuously improved to bring surprises to users. Our system engineers have made some new improvements. Please believe that iOS is still the best mobile system."

Before the words were finished, a media person immediately asked: "Then how do you explain the perfect experience that Android-based Stars brings to users that is irresistible?"

The spokesperson still turned a deaf ear, and continued to say with a smile: "iOS not only has excellent and leading interactive experience and performance, but also has the most complete App Store in the world, which has brought unimaginable benefits to developers in the past few years. income from..."

This statement was also intercepted, and some media asked sharply: "So how to explain Cydia's considerable operating income?"

"Yes, we want to see an open and complete iOS!"

"The excellent performance of Stars has already explained the major shortcomings of iOS, and the success of Cydia also shows that the App Store is not irreplaceable!"

"Cook's indifference to software products and services has been reflected!"

"We don't need apples like this!"

"..."

Although an Apple spokesperson didn't mention Stars a word, the name of the system has been mentioned countless times by members of the media.

The effect is not too bad.

It can be said that the first step in the overseas promotion of Star System has been completed ahead of schedule.

Even the results were beyond imagination.

Because after the Apple spokesperson was questioned by the media and avoided talking about it, Apple's stock price fell a little again, and finally closed at a market value of 4704.4 billion US dollars.

It was already five o'clock in the morning domestic time.

Because the time when America enters winter time this year is on the 4th, the time of the US stock market has also been changed accordingly, corresponding to the end of domestic time at 5 o'clock.

Li Xia had already left to go back to rest after Apple's door-blocking live broadcast ended.

There are only a few founders left in the office.

A few minutes after the U.S. stock market closed, Wang Wanyu, who had barely spoken, said, "I have good news for everyone. Mr. Wen made a little money with everyone."
