It is the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, and many employees are on vacation, with only some working in shifts. The office area is very quiet, with only the occasional sound of typing on the keyboard and a few whispers.
boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud sound, and the door was kicked open. Lao Zhou, who had half eaten the pork ribs stewed in the iron pot, walked in with a gloomy face, followed by Qi Xiangdong.
His skin was already dark and he looked very strong. His outburst was even more terrifying. The employees were afraid to show their anger and watched the two of them enter the office.
I didn't say anything when I entered the house, I just waited.
Zhou Hongyi didn't say a word, just holding his breath. He didn't have a good time during the Spring Festival, and now he couldn't even celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Not long after, the core members who were on vacation came over one after another with extremely ugly expressions. They all knew about Tencent’s hooligan behavior. Everyone sat around the big table, and Lao Zhou said: “Okay, let’s first see what this is.
what!"
Ever since, everyone began to study this QQ computer manager.
If you don't watch it, just leave it alone. I almost made my nose crooked when I saw it. I wish I could go to Shenzhen immediately, pick out penguins, and bombard ponies!
At this time, QQ Computer Butler is no longer the immature QQ Doctor a few months ago, but has evolved into Niu Gulu QQ Computer Butler!
It directly copied all the mainstream functions of 360 Security Guard, even the interface and details are very similar.
How much does it look like?
"Mr. Zhou! The typo on their interface is exactly the same as ours!"
"Also, the words '360 Security Guard' are clearly printed in the instructions for use. Maybe there was an omission and I didn't have time to correct it."
"grass!"
"Why don't you show some face!"
"What a fucking idiot!"
Everyone was shouting curses, their faces were red and their necks were thick, but there was an uncontrollable panic in their eyes.
"..."
The same is true for Zhou Hongyi.
Although he is reckless, he is not stupid. For a huge Internet company like Tencent, 360 is too weak.
The company was established in 2005 and spread quickly with the free strategy, but its profitability was very weak and it continued to lose money. It was not until last year that it made a profit: a pitiful US$274!
How much profit does Tencent make?
There's no comparison.
If you can’t compare with financial resources, how can you compare with users?
That's even more incomparable!
Lao Zhou frowned and decided to endure the humiliation. He motioned for everyone to continue their research, went out to a quiet place, and called Brother Ma.
The call was answered quickly.
Lao Zhou tried his best to maintain a polite tone and said: "Hey? Mr. Ma! What do you mean? If you want to enter the security market, can we cooperate and develop an anti-virus software together? There is no need to kill everyone, right?"
Xiao Ma's answer was gentle but firm: "Don't worry, we won't put you to death, but we won't withdraw from this market either."
Lao Zhou continued to humiliate his crotch: "No, no, what I mean is that if you are willing to invest in us, by combining our two traffics, we can jointly develop anti-virus and search engines, and directly overthrow Baidu!"
"Sorry, we are not planning to enter the search market for the time being."
"What about Xunlei? I can help connect you with investment!"
When Lao Zhou was an angel investor, he invested a sum of money in Xunlei, so he said this. As a result, Brother Ma slowly said again: "This kind of company has no value. No need."
"Xie Niang is a bitch!"
Bear the humiliation and bear the heavy burden!
After being rejected again and again, Zhou Hongyi couldn't stand it anymore. He hung up the phone directly, returned to the office, and banged the table: "Check it for me! Check all their products. They must have weaknesses. Give them their weaknesses."
I'll find out!
360 must not sit still and wait for death, we must fight back!"
……………………
September 25th.
The continuous drizzle brought a hint of autumn coolness to the capital. At 7 o'clock in the morning, there was already a long queue at the entrance of the Apple flagship store in Xidan Joy City.
There were people of all ages, both men and women, tired and excited. The most exaggerated thing was that they brought their own tents and daily necessities, and a buddy was brushing his teeth with a bottle of mineral water.
The TV reporter also arrived early and was shocked.
Now we all know that Apple is very popular, but we didn’t expect it to be this popular.
"Excuse me, when did you start lining up?"
"I've been waiting since noon yesterday!"
"The sales didn't open until 9 o'clock today. Didn't you wait almost a day?"
"You can't wait, you can't buy it! Look at the back, there are also ones from HLJ, and there are also ones from Guangdong. Everyone wants to buy them!"
As the time approached, the queue grew longer and longer.
The reporter roughly estimated that there were more than 1,000 people!
The mall was facing a formidable enemy and directly asked the police for assistance. Many people came to maintain order for fear of a stampede. Ten minutes before the door opened, the queue began to commotion, and then five minutes, two minutes...
"Let's go, let's go!"
"Let's go, there's only so much time left!"
"Open the door quickly!"
The people in the store were also very nervous and asked tremblingly: "Is it open?"
"Let them go in batches! Wait until the police cordon it off!"
Everyone was sweating. It was past nine o'clock and the security was ready. They just ordered: "Open the door!"
Wow!
As the door of the flagship store opened, a crowd of people rushed in instantly, and those behind also pushed forward. Those who didn't know it thought that eggs were distributed here!
"Crazy, crazy!"
The reporter looked at this scene and didn't understand it at all.
Of course, it's because she doesn't know much about mobile phones, but the photographer understands it very well and said: "What is this? Parallel imports have been crazy before, how much do you think one costs?"
"It's still five to six thousand, right?"
"Ha! Ten thousand for one! It's still cheap!"
"Ten thousand? Just to buy a mobile phone?"
The reporter was shocked.
"You see, licensed products have to be sold at high prices. Because the supply is small, scalpers have taken away everything. Alas, the scalpers are going to make money this time!"
as expected.
No matter how much stock a store can stock, it simply cannot cope with the increasing number of buyers. At noon, someone shouted: "It's out of stock, it's out of stock, stop queuing!"
The crowd became more and more commotion, and some guys held up the packaging boxes and shouted: "I just bought it for sale, does anyone want it?"
"I want I want!"
There was an instant response, and the person increased the price by 3,000 on the spot!
Those who were lucky enough to grab it immediately immediately called their relatives and friends to show off: "Hahaha, I bought an iPhone 4! I'll show it to you when I get back!"
All these things seem to form an ukiyo-e on earth in front of the camera.
In fact, since iPhone 4 was released in China, scalpers have made a lot of money, and the price is generally more than 10,000. At first, there was only a black version, and when the white version came out, scalpers became even more rampant.
According to a senior scalper, the price of the largest order was increased by 9 times, but people still bought it.
It was also at this time that a high school student sold his kidney, bought a white iPhone 4, and spent the rest of his life basically paralyzed in bed.
