Chapter 335 Unscrupulous people from all walks of life

"shift!"

Tim couldn't help cursing secretly.

When the form of public opinion became so 'inexplicable', Tim realized the problem.

He knew there would be differences of interest.

The results of his communication with the CEOs of the various parties just now proved that his intuition was accurate, and everything was as expected.

a key.

Apple's goal is XingHai1, which will soon be launched in overseas markets. As for the Chinese market, they have made a superficial gesture that they are unable to maintain and can only develop laissez-faire.

This is Tim's exposure of internal information to cooperate with the capital giants of all parties. Faced with Apple's stock price that is bound to plummet, he chooses to participate in the small "consequences" that must be borne by shorting Apple.

That is: What Apple wants is to make overseas consumer markets resist XingHai1 through public opinion.

However, the interests of social media platforms such as Twitter are to concentrate on defeating Chinese social media platforms that have already gained a firm foothold.

Before, they wanted to pay attention to these Weibo international editions, Xiaochengshu international editions, and QQ international editions, but the little momentum was not worth their big moves. They could only make small moves to make it difficult for them to enter key markets. After all, there are too many actions and some people stare at them and say that they are creating a monopoly.

Under normal circumstances, anti-monopoly in overseas markets is relatively active. After all, the capital market is not a family, and each has its own interests.

Related examples abound.

Now these social media platforms have gained a bit of momentum, and with the unfolding of this 'inexplicable', some local netizens actually feel that these platforms are more 'free', which is obviously unbearable.

Namely: Twitter and they now want to focus on killing the challenger with at least plausible means.

At most, it can provide a little help for Apple's interests through some small operations in the process, such as stabilizing the stock price.

So, what's in front of Tim now is a bit interesting.

The good news is that the scapegoat that Tim had to pick up doesn't seem to take much effort to deal with now, because public opinion doesn't pay much attention to these 'little things'.

Even if there are sporadic aftermaths, Apple's strong public relations team can easily handle them.

The bad news is that now XingHai1’s reputation has spread all over the global network. Netizens are spontaneously discussing, paying attention to the launch time of the product, and exchanging their feelings about various evaluation videos.

Even Stars, which has been slightly under the limelight recently, has risen again.

But Apple is in a dilemma at this stage.

It is possible to make some articles on iOS, but relying on the existing hardware, there is not much that can be done, and it is impossible to throw out all the reserved technologies at once. After all, some of them are not suitable for the current hardware environment.

As for hardware products, you really can’t mess around. It’s not that Apple can’t lower its standards at this juncture, but that once it lowers its standards, the brand power that has been operating for many years may disappear in an instant.

When there was no Xinghai 1, why did consumers choose Apple products, Tim could find 1 reasons from the products and services.

When a Xinghai 5 that almost perfectly surpassed the iPhone 1 appeared, the 1 reasons for products and services did not work.

for example:

iPhone5: I have iOS, the App Store application ecology, a self-designed dual-core A6 chip, a good screen, a good design, and iCloud.

XingHai1: I have Stars, which I have been using to experience iOS, Stars Apps ecology, self-designed 4-core chips, a better and most suitable 4.7-inch screen, the best industrial design in mobile products, and Xyun, and...

I also have a brand new definition of an entertainment center with a very good sense of experience! ! !
In this era, Apple has not fully opened up the collaborative ecology between PCs, Pads, and Phones, so the iPhone 5 has completely failed in such a comparison.

Therefore, Apple can still come up with a reason for consumers to pay: I am Apple.

It's an embarrassing fact.

It is also a cruel fact that any large-scale enterprise has to face in the development of brand power.

Therefore, no large enterprise will easily and actively let its brand power drop wildly, because this is the last 'moat'.

Just imagine, when Apple is challenged, it can only develop machine-sea tactics like other mobile phone brands. Just ask you, who will buy Apple right away?

In the era of smartphones, the only company that has survived in the sea of ​​machines is Samsung, but that is Samsung, which has a very resistant flagship model and the world's largest mobile phone sales network.

All others who were forced or actively developed air-to-sea tactics eventually became 'others' in market share.

In the current situation, Apple really doesn't have much choice.

Because the goal of Xinghai 1 from the beginning of the product prototype is to use all its strength to surpass the iPhone 5 in all aspects.

After sorting out the status quo, after a moment of silence, Tim quickly expressed his meaning: "We need some new directions."

"It is also necessary to find some new solutions at the product level, and we cannot allow XingHai1 to establish a well-established brand image in various markets."

"No matter what the method is, we should try it. Although the competition of the first generation of products will not have too obvious impact, we must face up to the challenger XingHai1. They have enough strength to threaten our product line."

Everyone came up with ideas.

One of the executives in charge of affairs in the Asia-Pacific region thought about it and put forward an idea: "According to the information we know, BoLang Device has some special shareholders. Can we try public relations?"

Speaking of this, the executive explained: "I have heard a Chinese historical allusion before: Twelve Gold Medals and Yue Fei. This story fully demonstrates that in the Chinese market, upper-level decision-making can override market competition."

"In fact, in the capital market, the will of major shareholders can often override market competition. The reason is the same, but BoLang Device's shareholder status can be used. I think this is a feasible breakthrough, and it is also our That’s the point to focus on right now.”

Tim: "..."

If I didn't know that you didn't know how the major shareholder oppressed me, I would really want to fuck you up.

To be honest, Tim really tried his best not to change his face.

He had just experienced such a situation last night.

but……

Tim quickly approved the plan: "You can try it."

This is a highly feasible solution, and since Bolang and Apple are separated by oceans, a large part of the market competition methods do not work, and indeed they can only find a way from the location of the company.

In addition, others have contributed some proven solutions.

For example, launch a new round of advertising campaigns in various markets.

Like doing something new.

For example, a series of dissection operations are carried out on the Stars system.

For example, find a way to ban XingHai1 from entering the North American market.

All in all very comprehensive.

There are still many methods that Apple can use, and they can easily pick themselves out of it.

…………

Bolang Collaborative Office Center
The pressure Mr. Ze sees now is as high as a 65-story building.

Although it seems that XingHai1 has made a global sensation in cyberspace and is a great victory, all aspects of the overseas market are not dead. Even Apple, which seems to have little choice, has brought great pressure to Li Ze.

Not to mention too much, all parties including Apple have used the tricks used by Xiaochengshu and its opponents in the domestic market during the development and growth of the mobile game business.

You must know that it is daytime in North America and it is working time, but it is too aggressive.

Leaving aside the competition at the product level, Xiaocheng Shu’s telecommunications room closest to North America suddenly disconnected from the network. Can you believe it?
In terms of the momentum of public opinion, the international version of Weibo, the international version of Xiaochengshu, and the international version of QQ are all no more than one Twitter, and they are not in the same order of magnitude at all.

The opponent pressed on every step of the way, and Bo Langfang retreated again and again.

Li Ze exerted all his strength and kept moving at the level of public opinion.

For example, directly attack Facebook for not allowing people to chat online reasonably, and promote the business of the international version of QQ.

For example, spreading voices while uncovering some things, leading netizens to be dissatisfied with Twitter, and even inciting Twitter to abuse community management rights and so on.

Anyway, Li Ze used whatever tricks worked, and didn't care whether they were powerful or not.

Compared with the restraint in the domestic market, Ze Zong is all-round explosion at the moment.

Not only that, Li Ze also took into account the promotion of Range, who was suddenly alone, to profit from it.

Overall, it was a really busy evening.

Bolangfang's loss is also really huge.

Around [-]:[-] p.m. Eastern time, there was a sudden rumor on the overseas network, as if a sudden discussion had been made, and Stars was questioned.

"Stars is a very 'mysterious' system. It does not disclose the source code. It is difficult for us to believe it. Its source is a mystery. We need to know its information!"

"We have reason to suspect that Stars may be illegally collecting our private information because their servers are located in China."

"Such a magical system, without any information disclosure before, can it have an experience beyond iOS on the iPhone5 device?!"

"If Stars is a secondary development ROM for Android, then it should follow open source rules and open source code, and it shouldn't be sold as such, even if it's based on AOSP!!!"

All this quickly appeared within Li Ze's sight.

Li Ze's eyes were a little swollen after staying up all night, but he couldn't help raising his thick eyebrows: "The doubts have finally come, can you see the shadows of any companies?"

Zhong Zhengye, who was next to him, replied: "Apple and Google, as well as Blackberry, Microsoft, and withering."

"Withered?" Li Ze laughed, "They are also worthy?"

Zhong Zhengye also smiled helplessly: "After all, there are two headquarters. The headquarters in New York took the initiative to participate, and Apple didn't refuse. Maybe the two sides have some ideas."

Speaking of this, Zhong Zhengye sighed a little: "This night is really very lively, there are all kinds of moths, the company's methods in the capital market are much dirtier than imagined, just now the computer room on the Tu'ao side suffered from an unknown source. of hacking attacks and has been forced to restart across the board.”

"However, we also had someone take down a Twitter node."

Not to mention hacking methods, now Bolang's new Weibo, White Goose and other manufacturers think it would be great if they can use physical methods, and the more complicated parties over there obviously want to solve the problem immediately through physical methods.

Li Ze rested his right hand on the center of his eyebrows, and pondered, "You can use as many means as you can in this regard, don't worry too much."

"As for...questioning Stars, it's simple. Mr. Wen has expected this. It can even be said that he has been looking forward to this day since planning the system."

With that said, Li Ze took out a plan from the drawer: "Follow the instructions above."

Zhong Zhengye opened his eyes, and his eyes widened by three points: "It's...it's that simple?"

"It's as simple as that, of course." Li Ze said casually.

Later, Xingchen PM released some documents through his account on overseas platforms, and there was not a single extra text, and he used various means to publicize it.

For a while, it attracted countless people who eat melons and interested groups to watch.

Interestingly, everyone said the same word immediately after seeing the content of the document.

"fxxk!"
