Regarding range, he only mentioned providing a way for him to successfully install range on the Stars system.
The challenge content on Twitter has one more condition.
That is: if it is an iPhone 5 model, the bonus for successfully completing the challenge will be $50,000 more.
Judging from the wording of the tweet, it seems that realGodMagic accidentally omitted to add the condition "if it is an iPhone 5 model" and simply added an additional $50,000 casually.
But in fact, gentleness is intentional.
Because the total number of global users of range is still less than 5 million, the coverage is really limited.
Although the number of daily visiting IPs has exceeded 5 million, that is, there are a lot of tourists;
But compared to Twitter, it is not a large-scale social media platform at all.
As for why I didn’t choose Facebook or YouTube, which are equally large social platforms, well... Mr. Wen is too lazy.
Running on two platforms is troublesome enough.
All in all, the stunt totaled 150,000 US dollars, and it was just to complete a seemingly simple challenge, and it quickly became the center of attention.
Countless people have learned about range.
Know the Stars system.
I found out that there is actually a system that can be installed on Apple phones to replace iOS. This system is even extremely well optimized for games and has a better gaming experience than native iOS.
Accidentally, even iOS has the prefix "native".
In the past, this was a unique prefix for Android systems.
In addition to the spontaneous spread and onlookers of overseas netizens who are doing good things, which has caused the popularity to be instantaneous, there are also several teams from the Bolang Group, Pei Xuan's marketing and promotion, the Bolang Complex and other parties behind it, adding fuel to the flames.
It quickly became a global hotspot, well...including China.
It's just that this time, Xiao Chengshu "courtesy" gave it to Weibo, which was planning a big move, so that the matter was first exposed on Weibo.
Various discussions swept the global Internet.
“@Steven come check out this challenge, here’s your chance, $150,000!!!fxxk, come out!”
"Ji m Ji m I remember that you have always been keen on modifying Android ROMs. There is 150,000 US dollars here, go and try it."
"@米LLer I have good news for you worth $150,000."
"..."
Ah San: "I'm scared. The spread is too wide. Are you trying to call out all the best programmers in the world?"
Xiaori: "God Magic is really rich. He actually asked a third-party platform to notarize $150,000. That's a lot of money."
Tuji: "In fact, it only cost 100,000 US dollars, but he didn't bother to modify the original content and changed it to 150,000 US dollars. I really envy the rich people."
Konishihachi: "The star system must have been developed by people from our country, absolutely, absolutely!"
Monkey: "That's right, the universe belongs to developed areas like you that don't have complete sovereignty."
Xiaobo: “Let’s agree.”
"..."
Domestic troll netizens are quite active in joining in the fun.
Some people go overseas to join in the fun, while others join in the fun on domestic social media platforms.
Mainly because of the trouble of climbing over the wall and the language barrier.
"The Star System has actually started to become popular abroad? Wai Guoren is really good at playing, and the challenge is 150,000 US dollars, 1 million yuan!"
"@ Jiquan is the master chicken brother, chicken brother, do you want to try it?"
"Brother Ji should have tried it long ago. If it were possible, more than a month would have passed and no one would have installed a third-party application on the Xingchen system."
"Speaking of which, I haven't paid much attention to the Star System recently. I just found some records. The number of applications in the App Store has exceeded 100?"
"It has surpassed it long ago, but the playability is still not high. There are no mainstream applications except Xiaocheng Book. There are mostly small games and some small applications, all of which are auxiliary."
Jiu Ai: "Everyone just made statistics before, I will copy them;
Currently, there are 204 applications in the Star System App Store;
Among them, there are 9 applications developed by Bolang and 13 mobile games issued by Raditon, which are considered enterprise applications;
In addition, there are 129 game applications developed by individual developers, mostly small games;
There are 53 non-game applications developed by individual developers, almost all of which are auxiliary applications, including but not limited to calendar, clock, weather, theme, reader and other small software. Among them, 10 applications have received special treatment. It is a pity that
Only 7 applications were small auxiliary software, and 3 applications went astray, causing heavy losses.
According to rumors, some small companies intend to submit their applications to the Xingchen platform, but there is currently no official news. As for the standing applications QQ, Weibo, Alipay, Taobao, JD.com, Youku, WeChat, etc., there is no official news.
"
Finally, the leader of the machine industry came belatedly: "I can't earn even 1 million yuan. If third-party applications can be installed on the Xingchen system, do you think the number of applications will be so small now? As long as one is cracked,
All other applications can be cracked;
As for installing it on the iPhone 5... I also think about this. I have been using the Xingchen system for more than a month, and now I can’t go back to the original Android or iOS.
I did ask someone to buy the Hong Kong version of the iPhone 5, and I have been trying to figure out how to flash it to the Xingchen system. Unfortunately, my iPhone5 has become a brick. Fortunately, we can contact Xingchen PM."
"Brother Ji is indeed very capable."
"The newly purchased iPhone 5 has become a brick, and it has become our brother chicken. If it were me, I would be heartbroken."
"..."
In essence, even Bolang didn't take action, it was just Wen Liang who used an ID to use a gimmick of US$150,000 to launch a challenge that was bound to be impossible to complete.
This triggered heated discussions among netizens around the world.
Kun et al. want to melt with you for a long time
This kind of operation is actually a relatively simple marketing application. There are many such examples in reality, such as changing the logo of Xiaosorghum for 2 million.
Discussions on the overseas Internet are all about inviting friends and asking programmer friends you know to earn the $150,000.
Discussions on the domestic Internet still cannot avoid some original topics.
Valley
And among these topics, there is something subtle in it, um... habit, a kind of funny trust.
how to say.
There is actually a very interesting thing about the application ecosystem.
Since the era of mobile Internet swept across, the main electronic device that many people are exposed to is mobile phones, and the frequency of computer use has been reduced a lot. The intelligence of mobile terminals was strictly initiated by Apple. iOS has the first-mover advantage. As time goes by, it will become more and more popular.
It is difficult to have too clear feelings about the application.
Generally, it is available on Android and iOS.
Even the products of large companies usually adapt to iOS first, because the size of Apple mobile phones is very small and the adaptation is not difficult.
In comparison, the scale of models in the Android camp is really vast.
but.
However, the computer side is completely different.
The number of software supported by Apple's macOS is pitifully small. Many tool software that can be said to be essential are not supported, and many entertainment software are not supported. However, this does not prevent many people from considering Apple laptops as essential tools.
For example, in the 2012 era, the macOS version of QQ was very difficult to use, but people's desire to buy it was not low. Many people even did not know how to dual-system and install Windows on their Apple computers.
What should I do if I encounter an application that I need but it doesn’t support it?
The result is usually served cold.
That's the interesting thing.
Because the essence of ecology is just to make people get used to it, nothing more.
Just like in the domestic environment, because the distribution of Android apps is very simple, there are often some very targeted apps. However, such apps are generally not available on iOS, and no one says not to buy Apple.
Even at this stage, iOS is not perfect enough, and many personalized applications cannot be successfully installed through regular channels. Therefore, Apple jailbreak is still considered one of the must-have advertisements for small mobile phone sales stores, repair shops, and even film stalls on the streets.
However, the result is that fewer and fewer Apple phone users choose to jailbreak, while more and more people buy Apple.
Wen Liang has experienced all of these, and the planning of the Bolang mobile phone business that he personally promoted naturally took this interesting situation into consideration, so the Xingchen System went smoothly step by step and was calm in general.
It should be noted that Apple jailbreaking is to find certain BUGs in the iOS system and disable the code-private enforcement security mechanism so that changes and adjustments can be made to iOS.
There is only a certain similarity with Bolang trying to install the Star system on Apple phones.
A suitable comparison example is:
Install Windows system on Apple computer.
In this regard, Apple not only acquiesces, but even actively cooperates.
What’s more interesting is that in the 2020s, after Apple launched the m1 chip suitable for computers, it was difficult to install Windows on m1 Apple laptops. There are rumors that the wintel alliance blocked Apple.
All in all, if Apple's jailbreak is a fuzzy area where there is no way to confirm the rights, the jailbreak team is generally called a hacker. Even the engineers who developed Cydia, the iOS app store, were eventually recruited by Apple.
So, Bolang's behavior is a looser ambiguity, and even if Apple wanted to sue Bolang, it would be a bit troublesome.
First of all, Bolang is a Chinese company.
Secondly, Bolang has no plans to enter the American market so far.

number 8.
Li Ze and Lin Hong led the team to leave Yangcheng and fly to London.
Wen Liang obtained some necessary support through his grandfathers and was able to provide necessary help to Li Ze and others during their trip.
After more than a day of fermentation.
The excitement on the overseas Internet has not decreased but increased.
Some of the most striking examples are:
The total number of global users of range has exceeded 7 million, and the number of daily visitors has exceeded 10 million.
Overseas downloads of Xingchen System exceeded 1 million.
realGodMagic's range of followers increased by a full 500,000, reaching 2 million.
realGodMagic’s Twitter followers increased by more than 1 million, reaching an astonishing 2 million.
So, money is really a good thing.
Wen Liang flipped through various private messages and discussions, then referred to the statistics of the public opinion monitoring system, and murmured: "It seems that the father of Android has been fished out. He is probably studying whether the Star System will be the second Aliyun."
OS.”
"Apple also seems to be a little bit reluctant to take action. It needs to add fuel to the fire. It's best to make Apple stand up."
"It would be troublesome if overseas hackers were unlucky and cracked the star system that the national team had not cracked for more than a month in one day."
"It's just right, let's speed up the nausea with apples and divert our attention."
So, a little later, Xingchen PM bubbled up on Range and Twitter.
Xingchen PM: "Thank you very much @realGodMagic for your love for our Stars system. Our studio intends to launch a flashing tutorial for iPhone5 devices. I wonder if we can get a reward/dog head/dog head"
This made onlookers dumbfounded.
None of them expected realGodMagic to blow up the official website.
What made them even more stunned was the official operation of range.
range official: "Thanks @星星PM for the reminder, @realGodMagic I wonder if our company can launch a range that is adapted to the Stars system, so as to obtain your reward! After all..."
too……
It's so shameless!
Wen Liang, who knew the whole truth, couldn't help but cursed when he saw the relevant news: "It's so shameless." -
