Chapter 1075 Fair Competition (7K)
E-buy has been busy since the beginning of October, and Yike and Yixin also worked overtime for the version change of communication software and the Spring Festival activities.
In overseas markets, Yike needs to prepare for the craziest "Black Friday Shopping Festival" of the year and Christmas in December, and all departments are also ready.
Fang Zhuo has always been an iron man, and he is not hesitant to devote himself to the busy work, but it is indeed too busy, and from time to time, there are various technical analyzes of Bingxin presented on the desk...
A person who stayed up all night was not careful, and he really felt a headache when he read Bingxin's file again.
"The temperature dropped yesterday. It seems that the wind is blowing. What time does Changzhou say?"
"Mr. Fang, at 30 o'clock in the morning on the 9th, the day after tomorrow Wednesday." Secretary Liu Zonghong poured a cup of hot water for the boss, but did not make tea or coffee, so as not to be agitated.
"Well, Infineon is coming soon. Tell me, is it necessary for me to go there? They still hope that I will attend." Fang Zhuo held the cup, thinking.
Liu Zonghong did not answer, he generally does not answer such questions.
Sure enough, Fang Zhuo didn't ask any further questions, and fell into thinking on his own.
The bankruptcy of Qimonda was broken from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Even the CEO Luo Jianhua was laid off at Bingxin and re-employed. legal process.
The equipment upgrade of the Ice Core Lin'an plant is almost complete, but the 1.1 million euro patent package that has been finalized cannot be completed.
Luo Jianhua has been working hard for this, but Qimonda has been involved a lot, and this matter still hasn't been settled.
According to his report estimate, Qimonda's patent may be delayed until early next year.
Fang Zhuo's mentality is relatively stable, and the global memory industry has ushered in a rebound in the middle of the year. Anyway, Bingxin Lin'an Factory can't drink this soup, so let's wait later.
The main reason is that this invisible restriction on going abroad is really annoying. Half a year has passed since the Yike financial war, and some media still mention it.
Originally, Fang Zhuo estimated that he could hold another product launch event in Silicon Valley next year, but now it seems that this press conference related to the important changes of Yike's flagship has to be handed over to Yu Hong.
Thinking about it from another angle, it’s okay, it can make everyone pay more attention to the product instead of the second best president in the world.
Many thoughts swirled in his mind, Fang Zhuo drank half a glass of water, and suddenly said: "Take down the writing on the wall, and I will write a new one later."
Liu Zonghong was a little surprised, why did the boss suddenly want to remove "Being Kind to Others"?Don't you want the last kindness?
"It's easy to get tired of looking at my own handwriting for too long." Fang Zhuo rubbed his temples, "How is the site selection progress in Changzhou?"
"I have chosen three places, and I have to see which one is more suitable." Liu Zonghong replied, "The team from Changzhou will come over on Wednesday, and they should also express their opinions."
The relationship between Yike and Changzhou comes from the encounter and investment promotion on the expressway.
Before Fang Zhuo went to Changzhou and finalized a small warehouse, he felt that the leadership there was very solid. Just as Yike needed to upgrade the data center, Changzhou was very active when he heard about it. The lake water cooling plan intends to build an Yike Taihu data center to process the overall data of the Yike system.
The building area of this data center is planned to exceed 3 square meters, with several built-in lake water processors, which can save more than 8% of cooling energy consumption. It has already received the support of Jiangsu Province, which governs the entire Taihu Lake, and settling in Changzhou is a joint venture between the company and the local government. pushed.
With stepping into communication, with the research and development of cloud computing, and with the rapid increase in the amount of data in the YMS ecosystem, the priority of data processing is still relatively high.
"Wednesday, the 30th, this month is almost over." Fang Zhuo sighed.
Listening to this voice, Liu Zonghong knew what the boss was implying. The 30th would be a full month for Yixin to go online. This month was so fast, but there was not much movement from Penguin.
You can't just watch Yike enter the communication field like this, right?
He said at this time: "The further back Yi Xin goes, the more stable he will be."
Fang Zhuo nodded and said with a smile, "Yes."
No matter how Penguin is, Yixin will develop himself well first, and then he will show up.
……
Soon on the 30th, at 9 o'clock in the morning, Fang Zhuo, who was in a good mood, welcomed the leaders of Changzhou at the Yike headquarters on Hang Lung 23, and led them to visit the world-famous mobile phone financial company.
At 10 o'clock, just as Fang Zhuo was sitting in Yike's R&D office with the leaders, his mobile phone kept vibrating, and then a call was made to Secretary Liu Zonghong's mobile phone.
Fang Zhuo apologized to the leaders, then took 2 minutes to deal with the matter, and continued to introduce some of Yike's current projects and the outlook for future mobile phone functions.
However, such a chat didn't last long and was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Mr. Fang, if you have something to do, do it first. Let's go shopping by ourselves." The leader of Changzhou, Zhao Weihua, was the one who recruited the richest man in the Mainland on the expressway. I opened my mouth.
"A small matter, they are already dealing with it." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "Let's take a car to see the cloud computing department later. The Yike brand is hung on Hang Lung 23, but in fact, our company departments are scattered around the surrounding area. of."
Zhao Weihua knows that Yike is building a new headquarters, and he thinks that this problem will be solved soon.
A group of people were chatting and laughing, but soon, the Changzhou team knew what had happened. Penguin had already posted a document on its portal website to reprimand Yike for unfair competition.
The reason is that the software update it submitted on the 29th did not pass the review of the Yike Software Store, and at 30 o'clock in the morning on the 7th today, the new version of QQ has been released on other platforms, and the advertisements have also been printed. This is because users have no experience. brand new version.
It stands to reason that there is no Android, there is Symbian, and WM, and because of Yixin's direct competition, Penguin would not be so angry to call out its opponents through its official website.
In terms of volume, users of the Android camp are far inferior to users of other domestic systems.
However, after observing the response to the release of the new version, Penguin was a little uneasy and found that this QQ, which can also add acquaintances, did not meet the expected public opinion response.
In addition, platforms such as Sina Weibo and Zhihu have significantly reduced their popularity.
However, three hours later, the Apple mobile phone store that had just entered China also removed QQ from the shelves, and the same situation happened to Samsung mobile phones that are not in the YMS ecosystem.
Forget about Sina Weibo, the president, Wang Xing, is half-crazy and not crazy. It’s not bad that he didn’t block Penguin directly. Zhihu also... can understand, that Xiong who is close to Mo Zhehei is not a good person.
But why did this apple suddenly come out like this?This Samsung is also a competitor of Yike, why is QQ also taken off the shelves?
Penguin thinks that Yi Ke is putting pressure, and Yi Ke is behind the scenes.
As for whether Yike can do this... It can even go online on the Saipan platform that Yixin is fighting to death. Who knows what benefits are exchanged in private?
What worries Penguin the most is that Yike's black hand may not just let it go, and will continue to put pressure on Nokia, and then cut off the counterattack of its own new software.
Based on various considerations, Penguin shouted out to Yike on the official website, hoping that the other party will jointly promote the healthy development of the mobile Internet business.
It is also this open letter exposing the battle between the giants that made public opinion lively again.
That's right!
How can you two giants fight so calmly?
However, Penguin publicly shouted at his opponent, but Yi Ke did not give any response.
Fang Zhuo had received a report from the YMS application review department yesterday, which involved the update application for the new version of QQ.
In the past month, QQ also had content updates, and YMS did not block them, and everything was processed and passed according to normal conditions. Generally speaking, the YMS software store has expedited review for influential software updates. This requirement is within one working day.
Because this is not the first launch of the software, but a version change, and major customers also have inter-departmental communication channels.
However, this time... the YMS application review department hastened to give a no, the reason is "violation of the 2.3.1 criterion of the review guide - the developer upgrades the product, and if it involves information collection that is not approved by the user, it must be disclosed in a timely manner. and obtain user authorization".
This has never occurred to Penguin... The first reaction is that your software store is too dark. Before, you only considered not to divert traffic, but you didn't expect it to go online...
The second reaction is, if you do this, aren't you afraid that other developers will die?
The third reaction is that it really is a software store surnamed Fang, and it reveals its true nature at a critical moment!
As for this "timely disclosure and obtaining user authorization" is only regarded as a pretext, Penguin promised to submit a new version in the continuous review and communication on the 29th, but only minor changes were made in the second expedited processing without involving key point.
So, of course, it was rejected for the second time.
Fang Zhuo witnessed the entire process yesterday, and was not surprised by QQ's response, but he did not expect that there would be a public call from the opposite party today.
This disclosure... really needs to take into account the relative objectivity of the YMS ecology to give an answer.
But what about Apple and Samsung?
Fang Zhuo asked to clarify these matters before giving a public answer.
However, at noon, Yike hosted a banquet in honor of the Changzhou visiting team. Just after 1.5 rounds of drinking, Fang Zhuo received a familiar call, still from the leadership secretary of Gongxin.
"He complained to us?"
"Why?"
"Aren't you Heximu?"
"That's not such a peace!"
Fang Zhuo's voice on the phone was a little higher, and the voice of the entire dining table disappeared unconsciously.
He noticed this, apologized and left the table to finish the call.
The meaning of the phone call is very simple. Last time, we just had a communication meeting between 360 and Penguin, and just calmed down the competition between the two sides. This time there was another commotion. Yike still needs to learn from experience.
Moreover, the behavior of Penguin's complaint is very specific, and it believes that Yike's software store is blatantly unfair competition.
"Mr. Fang, I heard that something happened between Penguin and you?" Zhao Weihua from Changzhou took the initiative to mention what was happening outside after Mr. Fang came back.
"It was just a small situation at first, but Penguin felt guilty and felt that we were just trying to harm it, and wanted to turn the small situation into a big one." Fang Zhuo shook his head, "I actually went to the leadership department to complain. I never expected that this villain Report first!"
Zhao Weihua focused his attention on it, and it is not true that he only wanted to harm it. I heard that it is true that he wanted to do it wholeheartedly.
"Eat and eat, leaders, this is probably a troubled time. In the afternoon, Mr. Liao will take everyone to Dr. Wang's place for me to have a look. I also have to give a response there, and I have to prove my innocence." Fang Zhuo apologized toast.
All the people expressed their understanding, and, compared to visiting Yike's cloud computing department, they suddenly felt that it might be more interesting to witness Mr. Fang's innocence together.
The time of the luncheon was shortened, Yike temporarily invited the media to attend the press conference, and confirmed the situation of the software stores of Apple and Samsung.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the public opinion raised by the penguins was still fermenting.
It’s not that Penguin seems reasonable enough to put it on the side of justice. The influence of the previous 3Q war is still there, and it is still ridiculed this time, similar to the gloating of “you have today too”.
However, Penguin may be used to being ridiculed, and Yi Ke was dragged into the water.
According to Penguin's bombardment, Yike is indeed engaged in unfair competition, and has also won praises such as "there are no good things for giants", "dogs eat dogs", "Yike has been like this for a long time", "what kind of good people can kill hedge funds".
No matter what the facts are, since Yike is working on a platform and ecology, it always wants to refute this kind of bombardment.
On October 10th, at 30:3 p.m., which is exactly one month since Yike entered the communication field, Fang Zhuo faced the camera of the public media for the second time.
This time the scale is much larger than the previous Sina and Sogou interviews.
Many reporters were very excited. Even 360 and Penguin had such a big battle. Can a giant like Yike come out with something more exciting?
Could it be that in the middle of the media conference, someone forcibly broke in?Just like what happened in Hang Lung 23 in the legend.
Of course, if you think about it, sitting at the Yike headquarters, you know that it is very difficult for such a thing to happen.
Fang Zhuo sat down firmly, turned on the microphone, and the first sentence made many people smile.
"Hi everyone, I didn't expect it to be Yi Ke's turn this time."
"Today we noticed that Penguin published an open letter on the portal. We didn't want to respond to it, and we didn't want to take up public space. However, there are a lot of distorted content in it. After comprehensive consideration, we will only respond this time."
Fang Zhuo didn't want to talk about these things in front of the camera again and again, so he came up to clarify the situation of this press conference first.
After he finished speaking, the staff issued the "Guidelines for the Review of Yike Software Store", and the reporters roughly searched through it, and found that it was divided into items and items, which were guidelines for developers.
"Today I won't talk about difficult decisions and easy decisions. I will talk about the principles and purposes of our software store with Penguin Software."
"Everyone, please turn to page 23 and take a look at the description of the 2.3.1 guidelines above."
Fang Zhuo waited for the reporters to start working and slowed down his speech, and read out the content: "Developers upgrading products, if there is any information collection behavior that is not approved by users, they must disclose it in time and obtain user authorization."
"Actually, as stated in Penguin's open letter, since yesterday, our review department has already given a rejection opinion, because the updated content of QQ this time does not meet the requirements of our software store."
"What is it about the software specifically? Penguin obtained the user's address book information without disclosing this behavior, and did not actively apply for authorization from the user."
"It's that simple. Let's take a look again. This is the synchronous email receipt from our review department, which clearly informs the other party why this update cannot be put on the Yike Store."
Following Fang Zhuo's words, another printed version of the e-mail was sent out, which contained content and time, which was the communication with the Penguin docking department yesterday.
"This is Yike's protection of users' right to know, which is an extremely legitimate behavior, so I am extremely puzzled why this happens."
Fang Zhuo spread his hands with a helpless expression.
A reporter below boldly said: "Mr. Fang, if Penguin notifies users, can it be put on the Yike mobile phone?"
"Of course, Penguin software has been used normally on our platform. Our principle is based on the interests of users, not the competition for Yixin as described by Penguin." Fang Zhuo laughed, "Besides, Apple and Samsung Not in direct competition with penguins? What are they for?"
Some of the reporters said again: "I heard that they are under pressure."
"Just say it straight, it's the penguin who hinted that there is pressure from Yi Ke." Fang Zhuo said straightforwardly, "But where did Yi Ke get this pressure? Although I hope Yi Ke very much, but there is really no such thing."
He smiled again: "However, I'm also curious why both Apple and Samsung were removed from the shelves, so I went directly to ask about the situation of those two companies."
Having said that, the reporters became curious. Is there any inside story?
"Come on, send two more copies, and I'll print them out." Fang Zhuo directed the distribution of materials.
Soon, reporters saw the inside story.
Apple entered the Chinese market in August this year. Its software store also has audits. The reason for removing Penguin this time is that it requires Penguin to provide a travel mode to ensure that users can take full advantage of it when they do not provide private information to register an account. All functions of the app.
Obviously, this is an act similar to the review of Yike store rules.
However, when the reporters looked at the situation of the second Samsung, the expressions were much more exciting.
——XXX, Samsung Software Review Department: I decided to take it off the shelves, because I am also righteous.
A reporter from "Huaxia Securities News" asked in amazement: "Mr. Fang, what does this mean? What does Samsung mean?"
"Yike can't control Samsung, but it seems that this is a personal act. This Samsung employee, who cannot be named, removed today's updated Penguin software because of this original sentence." Fang Zhuo shrugged, "He Very righteous."
Samsung employees with a sense of justice removed the communication software that competed with Samsung's competitors.
No matter how you look at it, there is some black humor.
Fang Zhuo noticed the subtle expressions of the reporters in the audience, and took the initiative to provide assurance: "Things are often so unexpected, Penguin thinks this is a means of communication between Yike and Samsung, but in fact, Penguin's word of mouth makes this matter very interesting , it can verify its authenticity by itself.”
When the richest man in the mainland said this, most reporters accepted this reason.
Fang Zhuo looked at the hands still raised by everyone, and no one asked questions. He changed his mind and said impromptuly: "Forget it, I'll call Pony directly and tell him the situation, let him ask for confirmation."
He seriously took out his mobile phone, dialed the number, and pressed the voice.
The scene was swift and quiet, and it was rare for business leaders to communicate directly in front of the media, especially when there were serious conflicts between the two parties.
Beep, hang up automatically.
Fang Zhuo hit him a second time.
There was another beep, and then hung up automatically.
In front of the reporters, Fang Zhuo wondered, "Eh? It might be busy over there, so the phone doesn't work."
He pressed it a third time.
This time, a reporter finally didn't want Mr. Fang to be kept in the dark, and pointed out a possibility: "Mr. Fang, this...maybe the number has been blocked."
Fang Zhuo was taken aback, holding his mobile phone, and froze in front of the reporters.
The head of Yike was blocked by the head of Penguin.
The reporters took pictures one after another, capturing Mr. Fang's astonishment.
"This..." Fang Zhuo put down his phone, came back to his senses, and said with emotion, "I am willing to actively talk to Penguin on behalf of Yike Software Store, but this very effective channel was temporarily blocked at some point, um, wait I'll see what's going on after the press conference is over."
It seems that because the number was blocked, Fang Zhuo's next words were very straightforward: "Although I am not in charge of the software review, I think there is no problem if the Penguin version update has not passed this time."
"The reason why Yike has come to the present is because it pays attention to protecting the rights and interests of users. The reason why Penguin has the current situation, and even fantasizes that there is a powerful behind-the-scenes manipulator that caused its public opinion dilemma, I think it is also related to user rights and interests."
"Since I can't get through to Pony, I'll have a word with him here."
Fang Zhuo was silent for a while, and then said: "Don't blame Yi Ke, look at yourself first."
The reporters took pictures again, this is because Mr. Fang is angry.
"Don't imagine that there is a big devil. Water can carry a boat and overturn it. If Penguin insists on fantasizing like this, he can also treat the user as a big devil."
"Yike is not behind the scenes, not the big devil."
"I sincerely hope that developers will consciously abide by the development requirements of Yike Store and maintain respect for the rights and interests of users."
"If it deviates from our requirements, no matter who it is, even a penguin, it will have the same standard."
Fang Zhuo publicized a wave of strict requirements for YMS stores.
After he finished speaking, he leaned back, signaling to leave the rest of the time for reporters to ask questions.
The reporters on the scene were very enthusiastic.
"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, what do you think about your phone being blocked?"
Fang Zhuo thought for a while and replied, "I'll block him later."
Amidst the laughter, another reporter stood up and asked a more serious question: "Mr. Fang, Penguin accused Yi Ke of being both a player and a referee. Do you think there is such a situation?"
"Penguin said a word in the last competition with 360. It said that it takes the needs of users as its own responsibility." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "I want to say that Yike also has this purpose."
This answer was a bit of a joke, and there was no positive response.
The reporters raised their hands high.
Fang Zhuo casually ordered one from the back row.
The reporter in the back row was relatively young, stood up suddenly, and asked loudly: "Mr. Fang, Yike launched Yixin. Do you think Penguin will go bankrupt because of this?"
Rao Fang Zhuo, he almost choked, um...
He replied dumbfoundingly: "I am very grateful for your confidence in Yi Ke, but the giant is not as fragile as you imagined, well, at most I can only cut it in half."
The tone of the head of Yike's answer was obviously joking, but many reporters' eyes were shining.
After so many questions, a reporter set his sights on Yixin. He found that this blockbuster product from the Yike system seemed to be ignored, and Symbian had announced its downloads before.
"Mr. Fang, how is Yixin developing? How many users does it have now?"
When Fang Zhuo heard this question, he was unexpectedly silent for about ten seconds, and then gave a serious answer: "Yixin now has more than 800 million users, and we hope to complete 1200 million registrations by the end of this year."
Official news, more than 800 million users!
The sudden disclosure of the data shocked all the reporters. It's only been a month, and Yixin has reached this level!
This... This is already the third largest instant messaging tool in China, right? !
The meeting room became quiet for a while, followed by more enthusiastic questions.
Fang Zhuo gave a patient answer. Saipan has released the data, and everyone’s estimates may still be a bit worse, but the importance has been raised, so let’s let the news report help push it.
The questioning session went on for a long time.
Fang Zhuo finally ended the press conference with a sigh: "I still hope that everyone and users can focus on the product. Commercial competition is a matter between manufacturers. I hope that users can give our products more suggestions. Thank you for your comments, I’m here today.”
The head of Yike got up and left the back for the media reporters to take pictures.
There is a lot to write about in this press conference.
——President Fang's phone was blocked!
——Fang Zhuo personally talks about the mastermind behind the scenes!
——Mr. Fang wants to cut the penguin in half!
——The richest man in the mainland disappeared on the spot, and his former friends are now strangers!
——Samsung also has a righteous Hippo man!
——The battle between the giants is on the rise again, and Yixin has achieved 800 million achievements!
When Fang Zhuo returned to the President's Office, many news flashes had already been sent out. Not surprisingly, many reports were written around highlights. The review response from the software store only took up a small space, but it was understandable.
Half an hour later, the landline run by President Yike rang, and the voice of the head of Penguin emerged from it.
"Fang Zhuo, let me ask you, is this fair competition? Is your YMS in the spirit of fair competition?" Ma Huateng asked, "You keep talking about timely disclosure and user authorization. Rejected again?"
Yike held a press conference, and when Fang Zhuo mentioned the details of the review guidelines, Penguin submitted the latest version again, this time respecting the requirements of the 2.3.1 guidelines.
However, Penguin was rejected for the third time.
"Wait, I'll take a look." Fang Zhuo opened the email calmly and informed, "This rejection is because you force users to open the permission to read the address book, otherwise they cannot use Penguin, which violates our requirements. "
This time it is a new reason, requiring Penguin not to use the main function to forcibly obtain additional permissions of the user's mobile phone.
Ma Huateng heard this reason and raised his voice: "You are referees on Yike mobile phone, you can have 1234567 reasons for not repeating the same, Fang Zhuo, is this what you mean by fair competition?"
They had agreed to play fair when they called before.
Fang Zhuo sighed, facing his old friend's accusation, he quoted his old friend's reply: "If you insist on thinking so, if you insist on thinking that this is Yi Ke's deliberate targeting, then I can only say, what are you talking about with Penguin? "
This is Ma Huateng's answer to Fang Zhuo's answer on the phone about the competition between Penguin and 360.
boom!
Ma Huateng hung up the phone without saying a word.
This time, instead of using his mobile phone to find the leader's number, he directly booked a plane ticket to fly to the capital overnight, intending to lodge a complaint with the leader in person. This is by no means fair competition!
Yi Ke, you have to talk about the morality of the world, you, you are not a penguin!
