Chapter 241 The whole network complains, the black and red route
Mobile phones have evolved rapidly since entering the smart era.
Taking Apple as an example, the latest fifth-generation iPhone 5 has been officially launched in many countries today.
It has gradually become one of the electronic tools that people use most closely on average.
It has also become the topic category with the highest enthusiasm for discussion and participation among netizens on the entire Internet, and it is also the only one.
First, the penetration rate of mobile phones is getting higher and higher, the proportion of smartphones is getting higher and higher, and the number of users is also increasing. Every user is a potential discussion participant.
Second, the threshold for complaining about experience is very low and very self-centered.
The amount of discussion about the system that comes with mobile phones is naturally quite exaggerated, because the user interface that comes with the operating system is the user's only interactive window!
So, with the support of the promotion, the complaints exploded.
“I was shocked when I turned it on. Compared to Siri, Xiaoxing is completely an artificial retard! Although it’s not too bad, I want to ask Xingchen System Development Company how dare it claim to be the world’s first professional game system.
?!"
"This development company also knows the problem. It doesn't even dare to reveal the company name. The information disclosed to the outside world is mainly the Xingchen development team! Fuck!"
"These are not the key points. The key point is why there are such strict restrictions on the installation of apps?!"
"Yes! I have tried countless methods, whether it is downloading from the browser, or transferring the apk package from the computer, and displaying it directly in the file? I can't open it no matter what! Fuck!"
"I have tried numerous ways to root without success. There is no such option. Just like what the forum said, if you don't want to use it, you can only restore it to the original system."
"I have never seen such a crude app store. I found that the number of software is less than 30, and there are only two software other than games, Xiaocheng Book and Hot Sale Mall! Fortunately, there is Xiaocheng Book to complain about!"
Among them is Jiu Ai who has been following me all the way: "There are too many problems. Not only is it closed, but the experience is not good. I triggered a lot of bugs, and it feels like a defective product;
I somewhat understand why experience volunteers are recruited and why volunteers are required to agree to collect bug feedback. I regret joining the experience volunteers a little bit;
However, the 1,999 yuan is indeed a lot. I just asked a friend. Now many IT practitioners in Beijing only have a starting monthly salary of about 3,000 yuan. There is no mandatory number of hours of use per day. You only need to use it for 30 days to get 1,999 yuan. Although
It's an electronic voucher, but you can also find a way to redeem it, which is good.
But it’s not easy to earn either.”
"..."
The initial complaints focused on some superficial issues.
First, he complained about the half-finished artificially retarded voice assistant ‘Xiaoxing’.
A real laboratory product, it is far, far away from commercialization. It is far worse than Siri, which has been polished for two years to access voice services.
The kind that makes judgments about superiors and superiors.
Then he complained about not being allowed to install other apps.
To be honest, Bolang is more willing than users to have other apps to install, but there is no way now.
Then there are some flaws in details.
for example:
There are no optional themes, not even an entrance to modify the wallpaper.
The icons don’t look good, and the transition animation when entering the app is not very smooth.
There is no MIUI piano sound when pressing the phone keypad.
The settings menu is rudimentary.
The notification bar has a crude design.
There is no screenshot button.
The background cannot be cleared with one click, and the memory usage is not displayed.
Then the level of complaining becomes a little higher.
Because the Android system has been developing in a disorderly manner so far, only MIUI and Flyme are slightly better at domestic UI, and there are many fake models in the mess, the trend of rooting for gaming machines in the mobile phone industry is still quite strong nowadays.
There are many geeks.
So soon someone started working on it at a deeper level.
This wave of complaints and praise go hand in hand.
The machine circle took the lead: "Closed, really very closed, they are all Android branches. There is no need to be so closed, they don't even recognize the apk package!
Compared with Android and even the source Linux, this system has changed a lot in the kernel. The file system is definitely not the common ext4. I don’t know if it is the F2FS that Samsung is rumored to be developing, or other ported file systems. This unknown file system
The logic is good, but there are many problems;
For example, the response efficiency, display level, operability, etc. are all very low, similar to iOS, but not as good as iOS;
On the other hand, the preliminary test on fragmented management is quite good, it is probably a hundred ways better than Android! The real name here despises Android's stupid file management, it is so bad that it makes people despair!"
"Thank you for the invitation from Brother Ji @ Jiquan Zhuangzhuang. Brother Ji still has some say in the file system. Let me talk about push notification management;
This is a big advantage. Scorpion Baba is probably the only one in China that provides a unified message push service. However, perhaps it is because the application installation is now closed, so it is so unified. The experience is very comfortable, and there is no messy background like any Android UI.
Troubled, I specially changed to a mobile phone with 512M memory, and there was no lag;
It also has shortcomings, including many bugs. I did some preliminary tests, but I didn’t expect that it would trigger countless logic bugs!
This is just a push message! It’s too crotch-inducing!”
"Thanks for the invitation, let me briefly talk about my test. This system is the Android UI with the clearest permission management I have ever seen. It is comparable to or even exceeds iOS's permission and privacy management. However, this module actually has a huge bug.
I actually got a memory leak from this module, outrageous!
I agree with the views of some chicken brothers and some friends, this is not a finished product at all, it can only be called a defective product!"
"..."
Finally, there are complaints from some mobile game players.
"Damn it, I came here for the world's first professional game system, but when I tried to play "Journey of Glory", it crashed! Is this called a game system?"
"I also played "Journey of Glory", and the experience was actually pretty good, but it still doesn't feel as good as that of an Apple phone. The problem with the boss upstairs may be that the machine configuration is too low. I suggest you try other low-end games."
“The game animation support is well done, but there are so many bugs that I can’t complain about it.”
"I have to say, it's okay to directly summon 'Little Star' during the game, but what the hell is the logic of not returning seven times out of ten?"
"..."
Various complaints have increased the popularity of the 'Star' system on the Internet, making more netizens pay attention to this new system.
The popularity lasts forever.
…………
On the third hour after the Star System was launched, Li Ze initiated a meeting.
Tang Pu, Li Bowen, Zhang Yulin, Xin Dai and the leaders of the module development groups under the system development department of Bolang Laboratory attended the meeting.
Wen Liang joins the meeting.
First, Xindai reported on the public relations incident: "Since the launch of the Xingchen system, the company's public opinion monitoring system has monitored many relevant public opinions, and it is now certain that there has been a reaction from Xiaogaoliang."
"There are also some unusual participants with ominous backgrounds."
“I found a lot of people and companies who are interested in Star System development manufacturers.”
This last point is not a cause for concern.
From the time he first decided on the black and red route for promotion, Li Ze had already made many arrangements.
From internal confidentiality agreements to project isolation, to the binding of the Xingchen system to a Xingchen studio that has nothing to do with Bolang, unless the official machine is interested, no connection with Bolang can be found.
Even if the developers work in Bolang.
The first two points don't matter.
The current Xingchen system is just trying to cross the river by touching Xiao Gaoliang's MIUI, and it's so exaggerated. It's only weird if Xiao Gaoliang doesn't respond.
Boss Lei runs Xiaogaoliang as an Internet company.
Xiaosorghum also attaches great importance to marketing.
As for other unusual participants, they are also normal. There are so many domestic mobile phone manufacturers now, and the repeated success of Xiaogaoliang has made many people learn quickly.
Then Li Ze summarized the results of the initial promotion: "So far, the number of downloads of flash packages on the forum has exceeded 170,000, and a total of 164,323 copies of activation system information."
"Relevant discussion topics have been listed on the popularity lists of search engines, Xiaocheng Book, Sina Weibo and other platforms. The weighted calculation of the popularity of the entire network covers 130 million netizens."
Sure enough, the noisier and hotter it gets.
Bolang only recruited 1,000 experience volunteers, plus 10,000 bug rewards, targeting 11,000 people. Now more than 164,000 people have participated in the actual test, and the results are outstanding.
Well... it should be said that this is the power of money.
Finally, Tang Pu and Li Bowen summarized various problems currently found in large-scale flashing and proposed a preliminary solution process.
Bolang has a development process that is relatively useful.
Then everyone looked at Wen Liang.
Facing everyone's gaze, Wen Liang raised a smile on his face and said unhurriedly: "No matter how many problems there are, it doesn't matter. We are no longer a small company and we have the confidence to burn money;
When Boss Lei launched the Mi 1, he originally wanted to price it at 1,499 yuan. After calculation, he estimated that he would lose at least 200 million yuan. He was so worried that he couldn't sleep. In the end, he decided to just settle for 1,999 yuan, and we had already budgeted 500 million yuan to pay for the tuition."
Wen Liang directly gave his colleagues in the development team a shot in the arm to let everyone relax.
Then, Wen Liang made arrangements in an orderly manner: "The original development process needs to be adjusted in some aspects."
"When I visited HKUST last month, I learned that iFlytek has a deep technological accumulation in speech recognition. Mr. Tang, please take the lead in reaching a strategic cooperation with iFlytek as soon as possible to improve 'Little Star'."
Tang Pu responded.
Wen Liang looked at the multimedia phone on the conference table and shouted: "Mr. Yin, is Mr. Yin here?"
Over the phone, Mr. Wen spoke with confidence, not as panicked as yesterday when he was talking about fortune telling.
Sun Baoyin's voice came out: "Here."
Wen Liang said directly: "Now any App that wants to be installed into the Star System has to be manually adapted by you. This is definitely not possible. Change the previous self-research plan and first develop a compiler that supports the Star System by referring to the LLVM open source project.
, coordinate well with Mr. Zhang.”
At this point, Wen Liang paused: "Let's set up a laboratory in the school. The members should not be limited to Chinese workers. I think there are many idle professors and graduate students at the University of Science and Technology."
Sun Baoyin didn't hesitate and responded directly: "Okay."
Zhang Yulin, who came to the company specially, also responded.
Then, Wen Liang looked at the multimedia phone again and said: "Gong Yang, you will first focus on everyone's complaints about the interactive logic, and then find a suitable hosting framework, and strive to complete the first version of our own graphical interface masterpiece by the end of this year."
Yang Xingshan responded: "Understood."
Finally, Wen Liang said sincerely: "The company has spent money to get off to a good start, although it does not have Android's situation where developers from all over the world help, nor does it have Apple's decades of accumulation;
But now we have hundreds of thousands of real users helping to find faults, and there will be millions of consumers looking for faults in the future, so we can always optimize."
“Tell colleagues involved in development to devote themselves to development work and don’t let netizens’ complaints get you down;
If nothing else, think about Linus who developed Linux. It took him 10 months to release the first Linux kernel version online. It only took us less than six months to actually start development. We also packaged the graphical interface. How awesome.
.”
"The gap in manpower can be solved in a variety of ways. Don't be limited to the talent market. Colleges and universities are also a very good choice."
The meeting ended here.
After the meeting, Li Ze followed Wen Liang into the general manager's office. Both of them knew that competition was coming.
