Analog company starts with technology

After being attracted by Qin Xiaoman, Niu Geng noticed that she was holding a mobile phone in her hand.

Out of curiosity, he reached out to take it and looked at the screen.

As the familiar page comes into view, a bib article jumps into the eye. Just by looking at the title, you can guess the content inside.

"A brief discussion on why several major domestic mobile phone brands have unified pricing may be related to Xingyuan Technology's alleged industry monopoly."

"Oh, what a big hat!"

Niu Geng didn't even know how to evaluate such a directional title.

I can only pretend to be surprised to show respect.

To be honest, there are many articles complaining about and attacking Xingyuan Technology. Even on Zhihu, there are still a lot of them.

There are even some well-known professors and news media figures among them.

But I have to say that this article is really full of gimmicks.

It can be regarded as keeping up with the hot spots.

After reading the title, Niu Geng did not immediately browse the article content, but first clicked on the author's profile.

Good guy.

Competing with Zhang Fangyou, the public intellectual from last time.

Sun Yi.

female.

Economics expert.

Famous humanities scholar.

Vice President of the Domestic Chief Economist Forum Research Institute.

Although it has less than a million fans, its influence in the industry is huge.

After getting to know Ms. Sun Yi to a certain extent, Niu Geng turned his attention to the content of the article.

It took a good twenty minutes to browse them all.

There was an urge to hit someone in my heart.

The article blames Xingyuan Technology for the unified pricing of Huawei, Xiaomi and Meizu's new mobile phones. It points out that Xingyuan Technology demanded excessive fees for the use of the Star system, and had to increase the selling price due to the significant increase in costs.

And with darker thoughts, it is said that Xingyuan Technology's move is deliberately trying to seize the living space of several brands.

Let them exit the mobile phone market completely.

In this way, Xingyuan Technology aims to monopolize the entire industry.

As everyone knows.

Industry monopoly is not a good word, especially for enterprises.

If you are not careful, you may lose the vegetables.

The one that is being talked about the most right now must be Fengteng Company. After all, they want to get involved in any field that makes money.

So far, I don’t know how many companies I own.

But if Xingyuan Technology is suspected of being an industry monopoly, Niu Geng will never admit it.

If he really had this idea, he could not open up the use rights of Fanxing system to the outside world. If Xingyao alone is the only one, it will sooner or later consume several domestic mobile phone and computer brands.

After all, Fanxing System is now deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and in addition to the previous efforts to maintain softness, it has abruptly ruined its domestic market share.

At a price that is not too different, who doesn’t want to own a cute artificial intelligence.

In addition, Niu Geng has planned to control the shipments of Xingyao smart notebooks and Fanxing system mobile phones next, thinking that even if he eats meat, he must always leave a mouthful of soup for others to drink.

Anyway, Xingyuan Technology makes money not just through its mobile phone business.

The interests of Xinghuo Studio and the newly established Xingyuan Microbial Wastewater Treatment Plant are quite large.

more importantly.

Warwick and Xiaomi have both supported Xingyuan Technology and voluntarily gave up using Weiruan's system. This affection must be returned.

But he never expected that just after he finished working on the sewage treatment plant and was free to solve this problem, the company would be stabbed in the back.

It was also accused of being a suspected industry monopoly.

Niu Geng is not sure Sun Yi’s real purpose in publishing this article, but for now, Starsource Technology’s reputation has been damaged, and other mobile phone brands will definitely benefit.

Because from the hot comments below the article, it can be seen that some people have been led to the rhythm.

"As expected of an economics expert, he hits the nail on the head."

"I have been worried about this problem for a long time. Xingyuan Technology is good to users now, but we cannot deny the fact that it is gradually dominating the industry. Who knows whether it will be capitalized in the future."

"If Xingyuan Technology can always think about users, then I would rather it have a monopoly in the industry. Who would let other companies be too greedy?"

"How can I put this into words? There are too many interests involved, and everyone understands it."

"I hope the higher authorities can send someone to Xingyuan Technology to conduct a detailed investigation to ensure that there are no problems with him."

"No wonder several mobile phone brands held new product launch conferences at the same time yesterday and uniformly set such high prices. It turns out they were forced to do so."

"Xingyuan Technology uses the Star System to choke people's necks. How is this different from the original Weiruan?"

"Whatever you say, I believe in Mr. Niu anyway. If Xingyuan Technology can always maintain its original intention, so what if it is an industry monopoly!"

As an economics expert, Sun Yi's articles have some credibility.

In addition, the behavior of Huawei and Xiaomi yesterday was too outrageous, which will inevitably make many people associate it with each other and unknowingly create a feeling of disgust for Xingyuan Technology.

In the domestic online environment, in addition to those who criticize others with their own sense of justice and follow the trend without thinking for themselves, there is also another huge group.

They call themselves the melon-eating masses.

But in reality every comment they post adds fuel to the fire.

For these people, they don't care at all whether Xingyuan Technology is suspected of industry monopoly. They just want to see Xingyuan Technology die.

Xingyuan Technology has developed to its current scale in just a few years, which will inevitably make people jealous. Moreover, there are many competitors and enemies outside. It would be strange not to add insult to injury under such circumstances.

Therefore, it is normal for Xingyuan Technology’s reputation to plummet overnight.

Niu Geng was happy to see this situation.

As the saying goes, anything good in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, so it is not a bad thing for the company to enter a period of trough.

As for the industry monopoly issue that is being clamored on the Internet at the moment, Niu Geng doesn't take it to heart at all.

Now even the military is using Xingling to conduct research on military equipment. How can the higher-ups take action against Xingyuan Technology? It's useless even if there is a huge uproar online.

Thinking of this, Niu Geng relaxed again.

Just as he was about to return the phone to Qin Xiaoman, Lin Wan's voice came to his ears.

"Boss, what happened?"

"See for yourself."

Faced with Lin Wan's curiosity, Niu Geng had no intention of hiding it, and handed her the phone first as he spoke.

Lin Wan spent a few minutes browsing through it. She was obviously angrier than Niu Geng, and her brows knitted together involuntarily.

He said angrily: "I have read Sun Yi's articles before. She is completely capitalist. I didn't expect that she would have such a strong opinion on our company."

"There must be some collusion with several domestic mobile phone brands behind this."

"I think so too." Qin Xiaoman nodded in agreement.

Mainly, it happened by chance.

The press conference was just held yesterday, and this article came out this morning, and it still has such great popularity and exposure.

Even a fool would not believe it if no one behind the scenes took the initiative to add fuel to the flames.

Lin Wan's character has always been straightforward, even if these mobile phone brands include her old club Warwick, she can still be honest.

What's more, Ren Yuanwei has gradually stepped down from his position and given up his power.

Immediately afterwards.

Lin Wan suggested again.

"Boss, I see that the pace of the Internet is quite big this time. Do you want to make a statement first to control it?"

Niu Geng shook his head.

"It's not the first time I've been manipulated. I really want to see what other methods the other party has next, so I won't make any response for the time being."

"It's Mr. Niu, I'll give the order right now."

After receiving such an order, Qin Xiaoman responded without any delay and turned around and exited the office.

As for Lin Wan, who was still in the office, she did not question Niu Geng's decision at all. Then she seemed to think of something again, and the conversation changed to other topics.

"That's right, boss."

"The shipment standards for Xingyao products you asked me to set before have been completed. Do you need to bring them over for you to take a look at?"

When Niu Geng faced Lin Wan's reaction, his attention was not on the shipment standards she mentioned. Instead, he was surprised that she didn't raise any questions this time.

In the past, Lin Wan always expressed her thoughts when faced with major decisions out of concern for the company.

But this time it was obviously different.

The company was named and criticized by economic experts, and even accused of being a suspected industry monopoly. However, he made the decision not to respond. It stands to reason that even if he does not question it, he should ask more questions.

So Niu Geng took the initiative to ask.

"Put aside the issue of shipping volume standards for now. I want to know if you have any opinions on the decision I just made?"

"No!"

Lin Wan was startled: "Since it is your decision, boss, it must have been carefully considered. How could I question it?"

"If my guess is correct, boss, you already have a way to deal with this matter on the Internet. You must have a plan in mind."

When he said the last sentence, Lin Wan cast a meaningful look at Niu Geng, as if he was saying an idiom.

Tacitly.

Lin Wan has been in the company for such a long time. Every time the company encounters problems, Niu Geng can resolve them perfectly. It can be said that she has already left a deep impression on her.

As long as it is what Niu Geng said, it cannot be wrong. Even if it is unexpected, it still makes sense.

The only thing to blame is that his level is not high and he is still unable to reach Niu Geng's realm.

So in this case, how could Lin Wan humiliate himself.

After hearing what Lin Wan said, Niu Geng's head was full of black lines. He really didn't know how to describe his mood at this time.

What he said was obviously a very casual statement, but it was over-interpreted, and I just felt like I was riding a tiger.

If you end up with a stretched crotch, wouldn't it be embarrassing in front of the employees?

Thinking of this, Niu Geng felt that he needed to lower everyone's expectations.

The next second.

Then he explained to Lin Wan very seriously: "Um...actually, I just made the decision casually and didn't think of any way to deal with it."

As soon as these words came out.

A smile appeared on Lin Wan's lips.

His gaze seemed to see through Niu Geng's entire being.

"As a company owner, I should try my best to save the opportunity for the limelight to employees and keep a low profile. I understand this."

"Don't worry, boss."

"Next time I will definitely speak enthusiastically and show myself to my heart's content."

Faced with such understandable remarks, Niu Geng only expressed that he was very tired, and after a slight hesitation, he finally chose to give up.

Waving his hand, Lin Wan was sent away.

"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go ahead and do your work."

"Okay boss."

Lin Wan exited the office in response, keeping a faint smile on her lips.

…

As the article published by Sun Yi gradually spread online, some netizens who had no ability to think independently felt like they had been awakened and began to rush to join the army of denouncing Xingyuan Technology.

Even some official media accounts have followed suit and published relevant content video articles.

certainly.

Everything has pros and cons.

The louder the online public opinion, the more affected it will be for Xingyuan Technology. However, several mobile phone brands including Huawei, Xiaomi and Meizu are enjoying the benefits brought by it.

While sales of new mobile phones have increased, they have also received a wave of sympathy from users.

It was a complete change from what happened last night.

No matter how much you were scolded yesterday, you will be praised as much as you are today.

The key is that they are all the same people.

In addition, Feng Teng, who has always been in the monopoly of public opinion, can finally take a breather because of this incident.

Everyone's attention shifted from Feng Teng to Xingyuan Technology. Ma Teng was so happy that he wanted to give Niu Geng a big gift.

at the same time.

Imperial capital.

Xiaomi Technology Company.

"Dr. Lei, the online reviews have changed, and the sales of new Fanxing system mobile phones have also picked up."

In the chairman's office, Liang Fuxing reported on the latest status of the company.

Although the situation had improved, he was not happy at all at this time, and even felt irritable in his heart.

He now finally knew what the chairman didn't say yesterday.

"very good."

"Immediately issue a statement to reduce the price of our Fanxing system mobile phone by 500."

"No."

"Reduced price by six hundred."

Price reduction?

Lei Jun's words immediately made Liang Fuxing a little dumbfounded.

I thought this price change was too random!

Unfortunately, due to various things in the past two days, his mood was really not very high, so even though he was surprised, he didn't show it.

He responded directly: "It's Director Lei, I understand."

At this time, Lei Jun naturally noticed Liang Fuxing's condition. The smile that was originally on his face faded, he stepped in front of Liang Fuxing, and patted his shoulder forcefully with his palm.

He looked serious and sincere.

"Given the current situation of the company, we must find a way to break the deadlock. The pricing method is just a normal business operation. Users have already benefited."

Liang Fuxing did not answer immediately.

He is very clear about the purchase price of the Fanxing smartphone operating system, which does not add much cost to the mobile phone.

Even if the current price drops by 600, there will still be a large profit.

And if we really want to make users feel benefits, Xingyao should be the first one.

So in the end Liang Fuxing chose to ask a question that concerned him the most.

"Director Lei, does the article on the Internet that Xingyuan Technology is suspected of industry monopoly have anything to do with us?"

Almost at the moment when this question was raised, Lei Jun's facial expression changed slightly, but then he put on a smile again.

Pretending to be relaxed, she said: "Ms. Sun Yi is an expert in the field of economics. She has the responsibility of supervising the market. Isn't it normal to find some problems in the industry and then point them out."

"Our top priority is to do a good job in this promotion and strive to double the sales volume of mobile phones."

When Liang Fuxing heard this answer, he already knew it.

Then he nodded, turned around and left the office.

"I'll try my best to do it well."

Soon the figure completely disappeared from Lei Jun's sight.

——

Chinese people always like to compromise. Maybe the price is too high to accept at first, but if it drops by a few hundred yuan, the situation will be different.

This is exactly the case with Xiaomi Fanxing system phones.

Especially coupled with the increase in online public opinion, once the statement was issued, it caused a large number of fans to go crazy, causing a short-term explosive increase in sales.

Not long after Xiaomi’s statement was released, mobile phone brands such as Warwick and Meizu also followed the script and made certain price cuts.

This price strategy, which is commonly used in business, has become a move for mobile phone brands to reduce prices and make profits at the expense of losing money in the eyes of users.

It can be said that he has earned enough favorability points.

On the contrary, Xingyuan Technology was completely convicted of using the Star System to restrict domestic mobile phone and computer brands.

So as public opinion continued to ferment, a new proposal was born.

That is to say, Fanxing Operating System is required to be free for everyone to use.

As soon as this proposal appeared, it was pursued by many people. A large number of users left messages under various official accounts of Star Source Technology, requesting Star Source Technology to open the Star System for free.

After all, Fanxing system is free to the outside world, and users may be able to buy Fanxing system mobile phones and computers at lower prices.

Many people will definitely do things that are of benefit to themselves.

However, this behavior also plunged Xingyuan Technology into an unprecedented storm that was not easy to handle.

Moral kidnapping.

"Mr. Niu, Fanxing System should have made a lot of money for the company by now. There is no loss if it is completely free."

"Guge's table-by-table system is free, so why can't our domestic system? Is it still more expensive than others?"

"It is undeniable that Xingyuan Technology has indeed broken the overseas blockade in the field of operating systems and allowed us to have domestic operating systems. However, free is the general trend. I hope Mr. Niu will consider it carefully and never go against the public."

"Xingyuan Technology is indeed the company I admire the most. But with the emergence of the Star System, the development of world-leading artificial intelligence, and the recent help of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to completely solve the chip problem, he has become a little lost with such high honors. own identity.”

"I only have one thing to say, don't forget the original intention of the company."

"It's true that Xingyuan Technology has technology, but without users like us, it wouldn't be anything."

"If Xingyuan Technology disappoints me this time, then I swear I will never use their products again."

…

The reason why Niu Geng has not responded to the public opinion on the Internet was because he wanted to see what kind of development would follow.

After all, he himself was quite curious about it.

But in a very short period of time, Xingyuan Technology suddenly became the target of public criticism, which he never expected.
