Chapter 330: Lowering Apple's Quality

Evening.

Lin Guodong walked out of the conference room.

The influence of that storm was really huge.

So big that [Yaohua] has temporarily separated its mobile phone business from its main sector.

So big that all the branches related to [Yaohua] have chosen to close or put up other brands.

However, since the iPhone 4 was officially sold in the mainland, there have been fewer and fewer negative reviews and public opinions about [Yaohua].

Except for some people on the Internet who searched for the words [Huaxing] mobile phone specifically to check the news, the whole thing has been completely settled.

The storm has stopped.

In the meeting some time ago, he was unprecedentedly decisive. In the end, he almost cruelly "asked" those who dragged his feet to leave [Yaohua] one by one.

The leader and lifeline of the entire [Yaohua Technology] are now completely controlled by him.

But...

The loneliness in Lin Guodong's heart is getting stronger and stronger.

"Boss Lin! The remaining stock of [Huaxing Technology] has been almost cleared out with the iPhone 4 boom. Although we lost some money, it is within a reasonable range. The main expenditure is TV advertising expenditure..."

Yu Dong followed him and reported to him the recent clearance progress of Huaxia [Huaxing] mobile phones.

After the report...

Lin Guodong suddenly asked: "Is the iPhone 4 still going to increase in price now?"

"Yes, but it's not that crazy anymore!"

"Oh?"

"Some pirated mobile phones on the market made with iPhone 4 components are inferior in quality, but their performance is exactly the same as iPhone 4... and the price has dropped from more than 10,000 to 6,000..."

After listening to this, Lin Guodong didn't seem surprised, but looked at Yu Dong earnestly: "Now, do you know why I thought you lacked some spirituality?"

When Yu Dong heard this, he just kept silent.

[Eighteen years! What a big change! ]

Since Cui Yonghao's voice was broken, he has never come to the mainland again.

It has been almost eighteen years!

Looking at the rows of high-rise buildings, he could no longer associate the low-rise houses and messy shanties in his mind...

His memory went back to the rock and roll days twenty years ago!

The mainland...

It once surprised him.

That was the day when the album "Pennyworth" was released. He clearly remembered that year, he walked into the mainland from Taiwan with the song "Pennyworth".

That year...

It was the peak year!

His pirated tape sales were close to four million boxes, and the genuine tapes after the rampant piracy still sold nearly one and a half million boxes.

That year, he was invited by countless people to hold concerts day and night. Wherever he went, there were cheers and excitement. Standing on the stage, he was like a rock king, controlling the stage and everything!

This is the mark of an era, and it is also the peak of the Chinese rock era.

This is the evaluation of Cui Yonghao by many people!

After all, when talking about the history of Chinese rock, Cui Yonghao is absolutely indispensable!

Of course...

This is the world. After the peak, it is inevitable to slide down.

He could actually accept the decline. After all, with the progress of the times, rock music is constantly innovating. In China, where talents are emerging in large numbers, there is a rule that new people replace old ones!

But he fell from grace, and even his entire career was ruined!

Maybe it was because of smoking, or because someone gave him something he shouldn't drink. In short, his voice was broken. He had to undergo a very serious, life-threatening operation.

After the operation, he survived.

But he could no longer sing in this life.

No one wants to listen to a throat that is so thin that it can't make a sound, and no one wants to listen to the unpleasant metal noise...

His passion, his anger, and the emotions he had brewed were completely suppressed at this moment.

Although there are a group of people who invite him to participate in the show almost every year, and each of them has a large number of people who hope that he will contribute, and some "entertainment" companies come to him to write songs, and they are almost breaking the door, he is still the king of "rock" in the whole of China, but he has never accepted any invitation...

The broken voice!

It is fatal to him.

His love for "rock" is very pure and clean.

So clean that he is unwilling to exchange his former fame for money...

He would rather hide in a corner and live an ordinary life than fall into the madness of business and become a joke on the street.

Of course, he has been silent for so many years...

It is not completely in vain.

He is also creating, creating songs one after another...

However, these songs have never been given to any singer, not because they are not good, but because he thinks they are not suitable!

He has been looking for a voice similar to his own, and even more looking for a "feeling" and "emotion".

But unfortunately, in the increasingly impetuous entertainment industry, he did not find this feeling.

Later, the former rock was gradually replaced by various pop music, and gradually the word "rock" became a product of the times...

It is increasingly difficult for him to find the words "feeling" and "emotion" from those singers...

A few years ago, he received a message from the hospital.

This is very unfortunate news. The doctor told him that his physical condition has deteriorated and that he may need to undergo another operation. Moreover, this operation is very risky!

After learning the news, he didn't feel scared. Instead, he felt calm and accepted everything.

He originally thought that he would be like this for the rest of his life.

But no one could have imagined that he would actually see a concert called [Little People’s Concert].

In that concert, he heard "Broken", which no one had sung for many years, and he also heard a very unique voice that was very similar to his own. What was even more precious, he heard the desire.

Desire for rock and roll!

He remembered the name of the singer. The singer's name was Deng Rong, a wandering singer...

"The changes in the mainland are really great!"

"yes……"

"Does everyone in mainland China have an iPhone 4 now? Has the economy developed to this extent?"

"Well, it can be said that everyone has an iPhone 4..."

"Why do you say that?"

"Look at the factory girls who come out of the factory. The iPhone4 phones they use are basically pirated... Ever since Zhang Sheng disclosed the iPhone4 shell patent to more than a dozen mobile phone manufacturers more than half a month ago, piracy has The sales are getting crazier and crazier. Look here, there is a factory store every now and then, and all they sell are cheap and cheap pirated apples..."

"Zhang Sheng?"

"Well, that's the boss you were going to find in Yanjing, right? The singer named Deng Rong is a signed singer under Zhang Sheng. He came to Yangcheng with his guitar and sang some time ago. Well, he even died." "Battery" brand endorsement..."

Cui Yonghao looked at his old friend Shi Sen, the guitarist in his former team.

He has been in this circle and is now the album planner of [Shengshi Entertainment].

Shi Sen, who was once as thin as a stick, was now as fat as a circle, and the fat around his chin was almost piled up into a double chin.

But people don't seem to have changed.

When he heard that Cui Yonghao was coming from Taiwan, he put aside all the work he was doing and received Cui Yonghao personally.

They drank wine and talked about the past, and also talked about the glory of the past. When they talked about the glory, they naturally couldn't help but have countless feelings, and then their eye circles naturally turned red. Then they talked about the end of the rock and roll era, and also talked about the end of the rock and roll era. Cui Yonghao expressed his opinion, saying that he hoped Cui Yonghao would no longer be obsessed with rock and roll. This thing is outdated. With Cui Yonghao's talent, he can definitely create some pop songs...

Cui Yonghao listened silently, neither refuting nor agreeing.

They talked about the past, the changes in the mainland, and technology.

"To be honest, I quite admire Zhang Sheng. Even if we are in different camps, I still admire him. After all, it is not easy for a person to climb from the grassroots to the present step by step. However, appreciation is appreciation. What he has done recently makes me feel very aggrieved, you know?”

"Why are you feeling aggrieved?"

"I am really embarrassed to be holding my iPhone 4 right now... Yesterday, when I was wandering on the streets of Yangcheng, I found that young people are using iPhone 4 everywhere. Not only young people are using it, but even some sweepers, uncles and aunts are also using it. Although I confirmed that they were using pirated iPhone 4, I felt that the iPhone 4 I bought from an acquaintance at an additional price of 14,000 yuan was not good enough, and it looked like a big injustice... Moreover, I was in In some dealer stores, you can now buy some iPhone 4 without any price increase. The appearance is exactly the same, and the contents inside are also exactly the same. As far as I know, many profiteers only replace iPhone 4 without repairing it, and put a lot of cases on it..."

“Is mainland piracy so ruthless?”

"Don't talk about piracy. They are all genuine. After all, they hold mainland appearance patents. Except for some illegally infringed mobile phones, they are doing it openly..."

Cui Yonghao slapped his hat slightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

In fact, he can feel it without his friend Ishimori saying it!

When he came to the mainland today, he felt a "cottage style" through and through.

He was in the taxi and heard the broadcast of 699 on his iPhone 4 phone.

I was shocked on the spot!

It was so popular in Taiwan, but iPhone4 is so cheap in mainland China...

When he got off the car and came to the roadside of his friend Shisen's villa, he was even more shocked!

He saw many iPhone 4 factory stores, and also saw some working girls and workers in the nearby factory using Apple.

Like Ishimori, in fact, he once felt embarrassed by the apple in his hand...

It's like it was contaminated by something!

Such a technological thing.

Inexplicably, cheap?

This guy is messing up the market!

but……

But it’s a bit interesting!

Cui Yonghao suddenly became interested in Zhang Sheng.

…………………………

The craze for iPhone4 has been going on for nearly twenty days.

Finally, after various copycat phones came out in an endless stream, the popularity dropped slightly.

Zhang Sheng held the mobile phone case and negotiated cooperation with Apple's flagship store, but ultimately failed when Billy's face turned red.

but……

He was not disappointed.

Instead, a weird smile appeared on his face!

He didn't come here to look for cooperation, but to see the "results" in person.

Recently, he has been having an inexplicable bad taste, just like a criminal who, after making a perfect case, would like to play with a mouse and look at his own results.

May 20.

Zhang Sheng returned to Yanjing.

Just after he sat down, before he had time to listen to Xu Bowen's report on the sales of the knockoff phones, he received a call.

The call was from Bi Feiyu.

Bi Feiyu told him.

The news that "7 Days to Die" will be selected at the [Cannes International Film Festival in France].

When thinking of Cannes, France, Zhang Sheng's pupils condensed slightly.

Then, a crazy idea that shouldn't have come up!

Wait!

Knockoff phones...

Is there a possibility of export?

Counterattack the US mainland, it's exciting to think about it!

No...

I don't have an appearance patent overseas...

Wait, can I...

(Today I'm lazy, two updates, one million words, I still have to make a good outline for the follow-up, and try to write more exciting later...)
