On the other end of the phone, the vice president of the telecommunications company smiled like a silly boy. He bet on the right thing and said: "Mr. Bai, it's a good start! It really lived up to our expectations and the results were even better than expected."
"Thank you for your great promotion."
"No, no, your products must be excellent. The most difficult thing about making products is establishing a brand. Now you have become one. Congratulations!"
The two exchanged various compliments, and the vice president said: "Since you don't have any objections, then I will publish this draft?"
"Okay! I will definitely visit you in two days!"
Bai Yongxiang hung up the phone and continued eating.
He is now in Shanghai, traveling across the country to promote Meizu. He is very busy. After finishing his meal, he opened Weibo on his mobile phone. Sure enough, the official account certified by China Telecom sent a message:
"Since the telecommunications version of Meizu 2 was officially launched on October 8, it has been warmly welcomed by the majority of users. The current number of reservations has exceeded 400,000, and sales in business halls and Meizu self-operated stores have exceeded 200,000, totaling 600,000 units!"
"..."
He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw the news.
Making mobile phones is stressful. If a new phone fails, it will have a considerable impact on the company. The extent depends on the company's ability to resist risks. If the company is not strong enough, it may close down.
Meizu 2 currently has three advantages:
There is a basic user disk and the price is cheap;
Although Apple has fully prepared and improved production capacity, it is not sufficient. It is out of stock from time to time and its monthly shipments are limited;
And there’s the APP!
…………
"I will go to the domestic Apple channel, but it will definitely be later than Meizu!"
In Yingshi Building, Yao Yuan also saw the news released by China Telecom and said with a smile: "Probably by the end of the year, those game apps will appear in the Apple Store."
"Aren't you going to wait a little longer?" Cheng Wei asked.
"We can't wait. If it takes too long, those big smart companies will copy our games and put them on the Apple Store themselves.
APP is not a hard power, I just want to make some differences to make users feel different. If Apple also has it, Meizu will have no characteristics."
Yao Yuandao: "Huawei's $1,000 phone has sold over one million, and Android phones from Samsung, HTC, LG, and China Cool Alliance have also been sold, and the total sales can reach one million."
Including Meizu’s 600,000, 2.6 million machines and five games, the total downloads are 18 million, which is not bad!”
"Then I reported it to the underwriter?"
"Report it, they won't be able to bear it if you don't!"
Cheng Wei went crazy.
Yao Yuan is selling a mobile phone + APP this time.
When he went to the United States, the total number of downloads of the game was 500 million. After he spent money on promotion and the sales of smartphones continued to rise in the second half of the year, the number is currently approaching 300 million!
There are still more than two months left before the end of the year, and the target is 500 million, which is enough to achieve.
But the underwriters are anxious, it’s almost enough, a huge community with 200 million users, a PC social game developer with 500 million players, a mobile game developer with 300 million downloads...what else is there to say!!
So as soon as Yao Yuan moved, representatives from all the major underwriters rushed over.
"We can't wait any longer, let's start the road show!"
"We have prepared a global itinerary for you, including the United States, Europe, Hong Kong, Dubai, and Singapore, for a total of ten days. It is best for you to divide into several groups. You only need to attend six of them!"
"The road show is over and it will be launched in November!"
……………………
Beijing, 360 headquarters.
Just when Apple and Meizu mobile phones were selling like hotcakes, Zhou Hongyi fell into a huge crisis in his life.
QQ Computer Manager was forced to install it, and after Xiao Ma made his position clear, Lao Zhou organized a group of people to retreat and fight to the death, looking for points where they could fight back.
I really found it!
"Through our in-depth analysis of QQ software, we found that QQ secretly scans users' computer hard drives to obtain user portraits."
Um?
Everyone was stunned, with a hint of embarrassment in their confusion.
Is this a big deal? Isn’t it just sneaky monitoring of users?
We are doing it too!
This behavior usually serves three purposes:
You can count the installed capacity and activity of your own software and competitors, and you can also know what new products are emerging.
Collect user behavior information to deliver ads more accurately.
Public opinion safety.
"Lao Zhou, is this not enough to counter QQ? People have already installed it compulsorily, so we should launch a countermeasure function for this kind of hooliganism. Why do you still care about these trivial things?"
"Trivial? Do you think this is trivial?"
Zhou Hongyi snorted coldly and said: "Scanning the hard drive, just taking it out is a bit abstract. But what if we make it concrete?
We say that QQ is secretly checking users' browser records, download records, video playback records, payment records... Do you still think it doesn't matter?
Chinese people’s privacy is worthless!
That’s because many people don’t realize that what we have to do is let everyone know that QQ is snooping on our privacy!”
Even if someone disagrees, the boss has to do what he says. Qi Xiangdong thought about it and said:
"We need huge public opinion support to support this view. We can publish a statement on safe browsers and promote it on various platforms."
"When it comes to public opinion, 99 is the best at it. Lao Zhou, didn't you have dinner with Yao Yuan? Let's get in touch?"
Zhou Hongyi called immediately.
"Hello, Mr. Yao? Are you free? Let's have a light meal tonight?"
"What?"
"Oh, that's a shame. Let's make an appointment next time!"
He hung up the phone and shook his head: "They are preparing for a road show abroad."
"Hey, I made it in time!"
"What a coincidence!"
"Then tell him and ask him for help?"
Zhou Hongyi still shook his head and said: "We don't have a close friendship. It might be possible to get drunk and have a hot brain. Now we can only spend money on regular marketing, but there is no need to talk to him about spending money on marketing."
He personally deployed it and said: "We mainly use 360 Safe Browser, pop-up windows, Maiwo Community, and Weibo. We don't need to worry about the portal. When it becomes a hot spot, they will forward it themselves.
The article must be precise and point directly to the pain points. You can contact the channel first, and I will draft an article first."
"clear!"
"good!"
After the meeting, Lao Zhou locked himself in the office and continued to retreat.
He first logged into his Weibo account to see if there were any hot topics to catch. Some of his entertainment methods are relatively popular, such as posting on Weibo and reading online articles.
He also openly urged for updates:
"I read a book called "Lost in 1629" on the Internet. The literary talent is outstanding. The author is called Lu Shuanghe. I would like to have a chat with the author. Who can help me find this Lu Shuanghe?"
After it spread on the Internet, this book, which had been out of action for more than a year, immediately had an updated chapter.
It's also very funny.
At this moment, he was scrolling through the material on Weibo, and he quickly thought of the beginning, and he drafted it himself.
