Rebirth of the Evil Life

Now that Fruit Ninja is so popular, what should Apple do?

"Steve, should we let some game software companies develop a software similar to Fruit Ninja?" Cook asked.

Jobs frowned.

"Tim, have you forgotten that we are Apple? We only innovate, never copycat!" Jobs said coldly, "Don't forget the purpose of our company. If we lose this purpose, are we still Apple?"

Cook's face changed, knowing that he had just said the wrong thing and touched Jobs' most sensitive nerve. Apple is the first company to start a business and never copycat. He actually asked Jobs to copy Fruit Ninja, and he was lucky that he didn't scold him. But before that, Lin Feng launched the "Gossip Box", didn't Jobs say he would do it? Then it's not called copycat?

Of course, Cook just kept this in his heart, he didn't dare to say it in front of Jobs, otherwise he would be scolded.

"What should we do now?" Cook asked, "We don't have a game like Fruit Ninja at the moment. And now with this game, although the sales of Lin Feng's 'Fuxi' are still growing steadily, its price has been hyped up to 10,000 yuan. This is very amazing."

"Don't worry about it. While Lin Feng is focusing on domestic Chinese customers, we should hurry to seize the European market. As for games, I believe that the emergence of Fruit Ninja will inspire more programmers to create. I believe there will be more touch games!" Jobs asserted, "So. We don't need to do anything now, we just need to wait for our production capacity to be sufficient. Seize the European market."

"Don't worry, I'm already urging Terry Gou. With the workers' skilled technology, the production capacity has increased to 170,000 units per day." Cook clenched his fist and said, "In a week, including the production capacity of these few days, we will have more than 170,000 units of inventory to land in Europe!"

Jobs nodded. But there was a trace of worry between his eyebrows. That is, Fruit Ninja is so popular, even if a game of the same type is made. It is not difficult, but can it be accepted by Apple users? Not only that, Jobs is still worried. Does Lin Feng only have one game in his hand? He doesn't believe that Lin Feng has only developed one game. If there are more different types of games, it will form a scale, and he has not developed similar games. What should I do?

Especially in this world, there is something called copyright. And this kind of game, the game mode is extremely simple. It is not easy for you to make a non-infringing game. Even if it is made, it will probably be difficult to replace it due to the first impression of consumers. Otherwise, how can I say that the first one to eat crabs is always the fattest.

"Boss,

When will the other games be launched?" Tang Jun said excitedly.

These two days, he has also been playing "Fruit Ninja". For such a simple game. Logically speaking, a person of his status. He should not be fascinated, but he is fascinated. He is still having a lot of fun. But for the other four games, he is still very much looking forward to it.

"Haha, don't rush. Fruit Ninja is popular among the people now. Let's let this craze continue for a while." Lin Feng laughed and shook his finger. "By the way, we will launch an updated version tomorrow to make Fruit Ninja more interesting."

Updated version? Tang Jun was stunned.

"Well, add some fruits that can delay the time among these fruits, so that the time can exceed 6 seconds!" Lin Feng chuckled, "For example, lychee!"

The fruit delay effect was not originally in the game. Lin Feng specifically proposed to add it. In this way, the game can be more interesting and challenge the players' score limit.

When the "delayed fruit" version of "Fruit Ninja" was launched, it was welcomed by players as expected. Originally, the game only lasted 60 seconds, which was a bit unsatisfactory for many players. The time was too short. Now the launch of "delayed fruit" can extend the time, which gives players more time to challenge their limits.

The score has been constantly setting new highs, from more than a thousand points, constantly jumping to thousands, tens of thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands. The bright red numbers on the official website stimulate everyone. Of course, it's not just the official rankings, the QQ friend rankings that come with this game stimulate everyone even more.

You finally got 20,000 points, but before you can be complacent, your friends in the circle of friends surpassed you. 22,000 points, and the excitement in your head was immediately drenched by a basin of cold water. Okay, you surpassed me, so I'll continue to score, and then surpass you. In this way, in order to surpass friends in the circle of friends, make your name higher, and even rank first, the game records are constantly refreshed. And this momentum of having to surpass the opponent has also pushed the game craze of "Fruit Ninja" to wave after wave, one wave higher than the other, and the desire for "Fuxi" is getting stronger and stronger.

However, no matter how much the outside world desires it, only 100,000 units of 'Fuxi' are launched a day. There is no way, the production capacity is like this. Of course, Guo Taiming has begun to do his best to produce, and it is expected that within a week, the production capacity can be increased to 200,000 units per day. But at this point, it is already the limit. If it is higher, it will not work. After all, the production line is limited, and you can't invest it all. In that case, if you can't reach the production capacity in the future, wouldn't the line be in vain?

In the blink of an eye, a week passed. Currently, there are 2.82 million units of ‘Fuxi’ on the market, but demand still exceeds supply. There are still an endless stream of netizens who swear every day that they will queue up early tomorrow. Compared with China’s huge market, 2.82 million units of ‘Fuxi’ are indeed too few. Relative to the global market, there are even fewer.

And on this day, the next batch of ‘Apple’ finally hit the market. However, this time it was not launched in the United States, but directly launched in Europe. 1.5 million units of ‘’ landed in Europe!

Nowadays, smartphones are being hyped in full swing, and all economists believe that Apple’s 1.5 million units will be sold out instantly after they are launched in Europe. But the facts gave these economists and Apple a loud and clear slap in the face.

At the end of the day, "" only sold 1 million units. Although this data is still shocking. Putting aside the previous single-day sales data of "Fuxi" and "", the data of 1 million units sold on this day is still shocking. But compared to Apple's expectations, it is far away. There are actually 500,000 units unsold. This really makes Cook, who is in charge of sales, unbelievable.

The reason why European consumers did not choose to rush to buy is - "Fruit Ninja". It's very simple. "Although it's good, in terms of appearance, performance, and especially the camera function, it's far behind Lin Feng's "Fuxi". In addition, there is no game software, especially not as popular as "Fruit Ninja". China has a lot of games that have taken the world by storm. How can European consumers spend their money to buy them with confidence?

After all, the global market is here. Lin Feng’s ‘Fuxi’ will definitely land in Europe, this is inevitable! So, why can't they wait and wait!

"Steve, the situation is not good. Now many people have started to wait and see. Without good enough game support, I'm afraid it won't be able to promote '''s sales!" Cook frowned and said that he had tried his best to promote. But there is no way. With the crazy momentum of Lin Feng's strong game - "Fruit Ninja", it is normal for sales to hit the rocks.

When Jobs heard the news, he was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that "Fruit Ninja" would have such an amazing influence and directly affect the sales of "Fruit Ninja". This was something Jobs had never thought of beforehand. In his view, software is important, but hardware prerequisites take priority. Games like "Fruit Ninja" will be available sooner or later. Users will not boycott them. They should believe in the amount of software available.

But the result is that ‘’ encountered a certain amount of resistance. This is troublesome.

"Well, divide the goods into two parts, one part will be sent to Europe, and the other part will be shipped to the United States. These two markets are the top priority, no matter what, they must not be lost. As for the software, I believe someone will develop it to be comparable. "Fruit Ninja" game!" Jobs said coldly.

Most definitely! There are also quite a few software engineers behind "". They should be able to see the market potential of "" and the potential of "Fruit Ninja", so there must be software engineers to develop it.

While Jobs was waiting, touchscreen machines from Motorola and other companies arrived. This is something that Motorola, Sony Ericsson, and Samsung tried their best to make temporarily using their processing plants. The same 3.5-inch large screen, the same 320x480 pixels, capacitive screen, plus the freshly released "Vegetable Ninja", a copycat game launched after "Fruit Ninja", is on the market.

Three companies, full of confidence. They believed that even if they couldn't stop the popularity of 'Fuxi', they could at least divert it.

But the result... To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m. to read.
