The heat caused by Galaxy Technology's announcement gradually dissipated over time, but the industry remained vigilant.
No one is a fool. Everyone can see that the updated beauty algorithms of Samsung and Apple are suspected of plagiarism.
Moreover, Galaxy Technology has said twice in succession that it should not be unpredicted.
This sentence has a unique deterrent effect in China.
So, during this period of time, programmers from domestic mobile phone manufacturers have studied Meipai countless times.
However, no matter how much research is done, one can only draw one conclusion.
That’s why Meipai’s code is extremely excellent. The specific manifestation is the simplicity and efficiency of Meipai’s algorithm program.
Domestic and foreign mobile phone manufacturers have tried to improve this algorithm program, but there is only one consequence, that is, bugs appear in the software, or the effect is weakened.
Faced with such a situation, each manufacturer has different coping methods because of its technical reserves.
Currently, Apple has the highest technical level, followed by Samsung.
As for domestic manufacturers, for the time being, they have not broken up with each other and directly updated, but they are also ready to make a move.
After Apple launched the paid update function, Samsung suddenly realized it and regretted it.
It’s not that Samsung is interested in the additional income from this paid update, but by doing so, it can greatly promote the sales of new phones.
In multinational giants like Samsung, there is actually a very in-depth study of consumer psychology.
Studying consumer psychology is to sell more money.
As a result, now that Apple is catching up from behind, Samsung is naturally very unhappy.
It feels like getting up early to catch a late set.
Tangdu.
Chen Lingyue quietly invested a sum of money in the stock market as early as when Apple and Samsung launched system updates.
Short Samsung and Apple!
The reason why he did this was because Chen Lingyue knew that once the backdoor broke out, Apple and Samsung would become the laughing stock of the world.
When the time comes, there will be a sharp decline in the stock market.
So, short selling only makes profit but not loss.
The backup plan Wang Donglai left behind was actually very simple.
As long as you take a picture of the moon with your mobile phone, a watermark with three small characters "Qiqiao Festival" will appear.
Moreover, there is one more thing that Wang Donglai has not told Chen Lingyue.
That is, Wang Donglai specially prepared some other effects based on the program codes of Samsung and Apple.
Secretly, Chen Lingyue is also paying attention to the system upgrades of Samsung and Apple users.
When I felt that the heat was about the same, I reported it to Wang Donglai.
Being criticized by netizens online, Wang Donglai was somewhat angry.
However, he directed his anger towards Apple and Samsung.
So, after getting the report, the order was issued immediately.
"Okay, let's issue the third announcement immediately, and this matter should come to an end!"
With Wang Donglai's order, Galaxy Technology immediately took action.
This is the day of Chinese Valentine's Day.
The third announcement turned out!
The content of this announcement is very simple and there are not many words.
But everyone who read this announcement was frightened and keenly aware that a big incident was about to break out.
“Our company has always followed laws and regulations, respected patents, and maintained the harmonious development of the industry, but this does not mean that our company does not have the strength and courage to protect itself.”
“For friends and businessmen Our company has to take countermeasures against our competitors’ slander and infringement”
“Our company would like to kindly remind smartphone users that the Meipai software algorithm produced by our company is equipped with some unique romantic tricks belonging to China. When you take pictures of the moon on the Chinese Valentine’s Day night, you will be able to see the moon in your photos. Three watermarks for Qiqiao Festival appeared.”
In just an instant, this announcement spread throughout the Internet.
All mobile phone manufacturers were shocked, especially the technical teams who were typing codes were urgently gathered together.
However, these actions are already too late.
Galaxy Technology, which owns products such as Neihan and Toutiao, is no longer an ordinary Internet company.
In terms of public opinion, we have our own propaganda ground.
So, this announcement spread quickly.
There is no doubt that anyone who sees this announcement will subconsciously take a picture of the moon with their mobile phone.
Like a virus spreading, a large number of comments suddenly appeared on the Internet.
At the same time.
Samsung and Apple users also saw this announcement and tried it out of curiosity.
As a result of this attempt, something went wrong.
Seeing the three characters "Qi Qiao Festival" clearly visible in the photo watermark, the faces of Samsung and Apple users suddenly became excited.
It’s not just that.
Samsung phone freezes one minute after taking photo.
On Apple, the screen goes black.
In this way, the two mobile phone users can't care about photo watermarks. They look at their broken mobile phones and feel like crying.
"Big news, don't use Samsung or Apple phones to take pictures of the moon. Anyone who does this will be punished by Chang'e!"
"Don't listen to Shabi upstairs's nonsense Badao, if you are using Samsung or Apple devices, please be careful and never take pictures of the moon. , because the words "Qiqiao Festival" will appear on the photo, and the phone will break down immediately after one minute. According to the current news, the Samsung phone will freeze, while the Apple phone will have a black screen and sound. ”
"Holy shit, I just bought an iPhone!"
“One more piece of news, currently only Samsung and Apple phones have such problems, and as far as I know, Galaxy Technology has not authorized the Meipai algorithm program to these two companies, so Galaxy Technology’s previous announcement mentioned that the friendly merchants and The competitors are Samsung and Apple! ”
“What a crappy phone. I took a picture of the moon and it immediately crashed. If I didn’t have a phone, I wouldn’t even be able to access the Internet.”
< br> "Except for me, the other five people in my dormitory are all wiped out. They all use Samsung and Apple. It's so cool!!!"
"The villain upstairs confirmed it is correct. That's why the phone is not broken. , it’s because you can’t afford Samsung and Apple, and you still have the nerve to show off here.”
“Some people are used to being like dogs, and rush to buy junk electronic products, which are simply plagiarism. Makes you laugh out loud!”
"Rotten apple, pay me money!"
For a time, a large number of victims appeared on Internet platforms such as Toutiao, Weibo, Moments, Space, and Bihu, as well as netizens watching the excitement.
Man is a very strange creature. The more he is not allowed to do something, the more he wants to do it.
Although I have seen many people sharing on the Internet not to use Samsung and Apple mobile phones to take photos, there are still many people who are extremely curious and took out their mobile phones to try it out.
Try it without making a sound! When this situation occurs in the country, it is actually similar abroad.
Just because of time, it is not as big as domestic momentum and influence.
When this incident broke out, Chen Lingyue went all out and used leverage in the stock market to short Samsung and Apple.
Kimchi Country.
Samsung Headquarters.
When something like this happened, the Huaguo headquarters naturally did not dare to delay at all, and directly made a call to the Kimchiguo headquarters.
When the emergency meeting was held, two hours had passed.
In the past two hours, countless users have adopted various methods.
Shut down and restart, force shutdown and other methods have been used again and again.
The Samsung phone still cannot be turned on.
The voices criticizing these two companies online are getting louder and louder.
Among them, there is also a group of people who are watching the fun, fishing in troubled waters, hoping that things will get bigger and bigger.
"The technical department will give me an accurate answer immediately. Do you have the ability to solve this problem?"
Li Sanxing stared at the director of the technical department with an expressionless face and a sense of oppression. asked in a deep voice.
The head of the technical department director was covered with sweat, and his expression was a little panicked. Hearing this, he replied: "Chairman, we have already tried it. The problem occurs in the beauty algorithm program and the power control code. There is a little conflict, and it may take some time to resolve it perfectly.”
Li Samsung frowned and said decisively: "Now, I require that all Samsung mobile phones in the world be restored immediately and be able to be used normally. Can this be done?"
The head of the technical department nodded fiercely and said: "Okay, give me half an hour!"
Li Sanxing took a deep look at the director of the technical department and said in a deep voice: "I'll give it to you." Fifteen minutes, you do it, you will get a promotion and a salary increase, and it will be doubled by the end of the year. If you can’t do it, prepare a resignation letter later!”
The head of the technical department’s eyes lit up, he nodded fiercely, and agreed! Said: "Don't worry, Chairman, I promise to complete the task on time!"
With that said, the head of the technical department ran out of the conference room quickly holding the computer in his arms.
After the director of the technical department left, Li Samsung looked at the many executives present, his face became extremely ugly, and he shouted angrily: "Are you all a bunch of pigs?"
"Such an obvious program loophole, you Haven’t you made any assumptions or investigations?”
“The reason why I don’t criticize the technical department is because they are just doing the work, but you are not. I am in charge. If there is a problem, I will only come to you. It is you who have a management problem!” It’s related to each of you’s year-end bonus and dividend situation this year!”
After saying that, Li Samsung stood up and left directly, leaving the question to the executives present.
"Now, the biggest problem is not just the phone crashing, but Galaxy Technology's announcement that we absolutely cannot admit the name of patent infringement!"
"As far as I know, Meipai's program algorithm We have not applied for a global patent, so we can definitely use this excuse!”
“Reconcile privately and continue to provide them with the chips that were previously stuck with Galaxy Technology, and give them a little concession on price! Let them shut up!!”
“If they are willing to shut up, we can show more sincerity, such as obtaining the priority to provide chips and providing some high-performance chips to Galaxy. Technology.”
“One more thing, we can use the power of Chinese officials to seriously negotiate this matter and put some pressure on Galaxy Technology”
"..."
It must be said that those who can reach the position of Samsung executive are all talented people.
In just a few words, I thought of one solution after another.
……
The other side.
Bald Eagle's Apple headquarters received the news not much later than Samsung's headquarters.
But the reaction time is much slower.
Three hours later, Apple held an emergency meeting.
Every one of the Apple executives who received the news looked in disbelief, completely unable to believe that something like this would happen to Apple.
You know, with its unique closed IOS system, Apple has always been extremely confident in this regard.
However, today it was broken.
After the executives gathered together, everyone saw the situation.
Many people also breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to Samsung, there are not many black screens on Apple phones.
This is mainly because Apple adopts a paid update method instead of all free automatic updates for Samsung mobile phones.
Coupled with the price of US$99, it is also a large expense, so in the end, not many users paid for updates.
And this, at this time, actually became the key to Apple executives breathing a sigh of relief.
The fewer users who are affected, the less impact Apple will have on its brand, and the better the value of the Apple brand will be preserved.
“Didn’t the technical department do testing? Why does such a problem still occur! I think the technical department should bear the greatest responsibility for this incident!”
“Why does such a thing happen? , the response of the marketing department and public relations department was so slow, almost four hours have passed, and the incident was not handled immediately, and now it has seriously affected the company’s stock price!”
As soon as they opened their mouth, the heads of the two departments began to attack each other, trying to make each other take the blame.
In Internet companies, it is the most normal thing.
Everyone takes credit for a successful project!
The project failed, you refused and I resigned, for fear of sticking to the pot!
"Okay, now is not the time to hold people accountable. There are still a few hours until dawn. We need to come up with a practical plan before the stock market opens."
"Remember, if this matter is not handled well, you will all be affected. Now, for the sake of your own future, think about what to do!"
Cook looked at everyone calmly, Said coldly.
Hearing Cook's words, many executives in the conference room temporarily put aside their calculations and started thinking seriously.
“The technical department has found the problem and can solve it quickly. All we need to do is replace the previously updated beauty algorithm program with the previous one!”
“There are total users around the world who have paid to upgrade. There are 3,567,427 users. For these users, while actively refunding the charges, we can provide an additional compensation of US$10.”
"This matter has been fermented. The plan for now is to be ready to sell short immediately, so as to suffer less losses."
"In addition, we immediately contacted the media about this matter and publicized it as a The company was attacked maliciously, and certain technical factors caused this mobile phone problem to occur. We will retain accountability!”
“Galaxy Technology has not filed a patent application in our country, we can operate in this regard! We are not afraid of lawsuits and will never admit the patent infringement issue!”
“ ..."
You spoke to me and made various suggestions.
Cook, who was sitting on it, nodded from time to time, and finally said: "The compensation has been increased from ten dollars to twenty dollars. In addition, contact the law firm immediately to prepare to respond and sue."
"Finally, contact Global The media should release more data about the new phone and cover up the matter so as not to cause shock or affect the brand value."
Everyone was shocked when they heard that CEO Cook made the final decision! They all nodded in agreement and started to act separately. (End of this chapter)
