Apple headquarters.
The vice president rushed to the chairman's office in a hurry, with a serious expression:
"Chairman, I just received the news that Xingyi Technology's latest mobile phone has begun to be released in Xiaguo, and it is probably about to be released!"
"They are going to release a new phone again!"
Cook's expression became extremely complicated, and a deep sense of powerlessness arose in his heart:
"The previous generation of Xphone 3 and Xphone 3 plus have crushed our iPhone 5S, causing our sales to plummet by more than 40%. Now that we haven't caught up, they are going to release new phones. There's no room for anything!"
"Yes, the worst thing is that the new phone is coming in full force this time, and it is probably a major upgrade!"
"What? There is a big upgrade?" Cook's mouth twitched:
"The Xphone 3 and Xphone 3 plus that are not upgraded are so powerful. If they are upgraded again, how strong will the new phone be? Don't even think about selling the iPhone 5S! Even the iPhone 6 series in the second half of the year will be affected."
"Yes, this is the biggest problem. More importantly, the new phone is launched globally. The new flagship is not only distributed in Xiaguo, but also in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea at the same time. Other countries are also promoting it."
"According to Xingyi Technology's habits, it is likely that this release will be launched soon, and it will be launched simultaneously around the world."
"Now Xia Guo has started to distribute goods, so Ome is probably about the same. It is very likely that they will release Xphone 3 pro and Xphone 3 pro max within half a month!"
"Hmph! Wang Yi was thinking very well, but unfortunately, how could we get him to do it?"
Cook snorted coldly: "You must not let the Xphone 3 pro and Xphone 3 pro max be released smoothly! Our plan is almost ready, right?"
"Don't worry, the chairman, are all ready and can take action at any time."
"Very good!" Cook nodded with satisfaction: "Now is a good time."
The subordinates understand: "I understand, before the Xphone 3 pro and Xphone 3 pro max are launched, I will give Xingyi a wake-up call and make their new flagship unsold in all respects!"
"Yes, just do it. Only in this way can our iPhone 5s and 5C sales not continue to plummet. Even if the operation is done well, it may be able to rise in the reverse direction! Don't let me down."
"Chairman, just wait for my good news. Haha."
"That would be better." Cook's lips curled up, and he showed a sinister smile:
"Fortunately, we prepared a killer move in advance, killing Xingyi Technology. Otherwise, once the Xphone 3 pro and Xphone 3 pro max are released smoothly, it will be a huge disaster for Apple."
Apple moves very quickly.
Just as domestic universities are actively promoting the comprehensive upgrade of semiconductor teaching, a big move for Xingyi Mobile is also being launched quickly.
Moreover, it is not an accident, but a series of planned and large-scale actions!
On March 3, two American experts jointly proposed that Xingyi mobile phones from Xingyi Technology, which have borderless mobile phones, have backdoor problems, or are exploited by hackers, infringing on user privacy and security.
Immediately afterwards, on March 4, a European MP also put forward a similar view, claiming that if it is not responded, there will be great safety hazards.
And the proposals of these three people, like the fuse, set off a trial conference on Xingyi's mobile phone security issues.
Subsequently, many Ome media, experts and scholars jumped out and accused Xingyi's mobile phone of having a backdoor and constantly stealing user privacy data, which was extremely harmful.
Some people also bluntly said that the back door of Xingyi’s mobile phone is to help Xia Kingdom monitor European and American users, which is Xia Kingdom’s tool!
Especially politicians, congressmen, etc., are all the targets of being monitored!
This news caused an uproar.
Especially Ome users, they are easily fooled and many people believe it.
However, this was just the beginning, and a series of big moves followed one after another.
Immediately afterwards, Wall Street also issued an announcement, bluntly saying that Xingyi's mobile phone backdoor led to some financial tycoons being monitored and stocks suffered heavy losses, and asked relevant departments to respond quickly.
Now, those business people are also facing a great enemy and become suspicious.
Public opinion on the Internet has become very unfavorable to Xingyi Technology:
"There is a backdoor for Xingyi's phone? Is it true? I just bought an Xphone 3!"
"Oh, God, I just changed to Xphone 3 plus, but I didn't expect it to be safe either."
"After the prism door exploded, I was worried that there would be a backdoor for Android and Apple phones, so I changed to Xingyi phones. Unexpectedly, Xingyi phones also failed. Are there any mobile phones that can be used in this world?"
"It's so hateful. At that time, Xingyi's mobile phone was promoted with a slogan that had no backdoor, did not infringe on privacy and was absolutely safe. Why did it fail now?"
"By the way, this is just Omi's report. Could it be a retaliatory attack on Xingyi's mobile phone? Could it be an organized smear?"
"This is possible, but it is unlikely. After all, both Apple and Android have security problems, and they all have backdoors. It is normal for Xingyi phones to have backdoors."
"The dragon-slaying boy eventually became an evil dragon, and the only ones who ended up suffering were us users."
"Oh, they are all virtues. These phones have back doors and are not reliable. Could it be replaced with feature phones?"
"The feature phone is definitely not good. The problem now is that you plan to hand over your privacy data to Ome or Xingyi Technology, and there are backdoors anyway."
"This is really a difficult choice, and it makes me feel instantly timid about Xingyi's phone, alas."
"As a new fan, I can only say that I'm very angry now! Farkhinyi's phone, I'm going to smash it! It deceives my feelings!"
"I'll smash it too, just like I smashed the iPhone, smashed Xingyi's phone, and then bought a borderless phone."
"Idiot, Wujie Mobile is also from Xingyi Technology, and it also has a backdoor!"
"??? Then what phone do I use?"
...
Similar public opinion appears all over the world.
Half a year has passed since the incident of Prism Gate, but everyone still remembers it freshly.
When the backdoor incident broke out on Xingyi's mobile phone, the prism gate incident on Android and Apple phones was also implicated.
Looking at this scene, Cook's smile stiffened:
"This plot is not developing right!"
"The back door of Xingyi's mobile phone has been overturned. Shouldn't you switch to buying an iPhone?"
"Why are you still talking about the iPhone having a backdoor?"
"The Prism Gate incident can't be overcome, right?"
The subordinates were also helpless about this.
I thought that this time, the smear of Xingyi mobile phones would let users know that Xingyi mobile phones had backdoors and security problems, so I gave up buying Xingyi mobile phones, thereby purchasing a large amount of iPhones and bringing back the sales lost by the iPhone.
But now it seems that Xingyi’s mobile phone has indeed been affected, but the sales of iPhone have not increased much, but the prism gate incident has been revealed!
This is not a good thing!
Seeing Cook’s melancholy, his subordinates hurriedly said, “Chairman, we can stay optimistic. Although our sales have not increased much, the sales of Xingyi mobile phones have been reduced to the naked eye.”
"Especially those fans who are attracted by Xingyi's mobile phones will be angry and feel that they have been cheated. Now they are starting to smash Xingyi's mobile phones, and some are burning Xingyi's mobile phones. Look."
As he said that, the vice president quickly took out his mobile phone and showed several videos for Cook: "Chairman, smashing mobile phones, burning mobile phones. These treatments were all from our iPhones before, but now they have become Xingyi mobile phones!"
“…”
Cook's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
The other party's words can't mess with him anymore.
What does it mean to smash your phone or burn your phone? It used to be iPhone?
Is this honorable?
The vice president also realized that there was something wrong with his wording and quickly explained: "I mean, after the prism door broke out, users only scolded us for Apple, smashed our phones, and burned our phones. Now, we have also started smashing Xingyi phones, burning Xingyi phones!"
Cook was silent again: "…"
"What, do you still feel mentally balanced?
"No, Chairman, at least we were the only one who was tragic before, and Xingyi mobile phone sales increased significantly. Now, Xingyi mobile phones have also followed the tragedy and sales have also dropped sharply."
Upon hearing this, Cook's expression looked a little better: "The only pity is that Apple's sales did not increase because of this, which is a problem."
The vice president nodded: "That's because we don't slander enough. Let's continue to slander. Not only does Xingyi's phone have a backdoor, but it also needs to expand to Xingyi's phone's XOS system have a backdoor, and Xingyi's phone's Kunpeng chip has a backdoor, which will hit them in all aspects."
"Very good, just do it!" Cook's expression looked a little better.
At the same time, Xingyi Technology also started an emergency meeting.
Zhu Changlin's face was solemn:
"Chairman, the opponent's offensive has been rapidly recently, and he has been constantly discrediting our Xingyi mobile phones with security loopholes. If this continues, our upcoming Xingyi X1 will face a huge impact!"
Wang Yi nodded: "The other party created such an attack on the eve of our new phone launch, and it was a full-scale attack, just to curb the release of our new phone. As for the targets of the attack, 99% is Apple!"
"Yes, according to our investigation, many of the media that have taken action are dogs raised by Apple, or have close ties with Apple."
"And the other party is organized, premeditated, rhythmically smeared and sets rhythm, obviously it is well prepared."
"I even suspect that they have been preparing since February, and there is even a backup plan behind them!"
Wang Yi took a deep breath: "This is very likely, basically that's it."
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Yi finished speaking, an assistant came in: "Chairman, the latest news, the external network has begun to attack our XOS system and Kunpeng chips again. It is said that our XOS system has a backdoor, and Kunpeng chips also have a backdoor. As long as we use related products, we will run naked on our Internet!"
Upon hearing this, everyone changed their expression.
Zhu Changlin was even more angry: "First it was spreading rumors that our mobile phones had a backdoor, and then it was spreading rumors that our XOS system had a backdoor, and Kunpeng chips had a backdoor. It's really OK. From the mobile phone to the system to the chip, I won't let it go!"
"Cook is going to kill us completely!"
"Yes, Cook is too bullying!"
Others also spoke:
"What does this mean? It's equivalent to them fabricating an oriental version of the prism gate, the protagonist is our Xingyi mobile phone, XOS system, and Kunpeng processor!"
"The other party's move not only wants to kill our Xingyi phone, but also wants to kill our XOS system and Kunpeng chip at one time!"
"Once this matter is not handled well, those customers who purchase our Kunpeng processor will be affected. At that time, there may be large-scale order refunds, and we will suffer heavy losses by then."
"Yes, this matter has a great impact. We must crisis public relations as soon as possible. If it is not handled properly, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Listening to everyone's words, Wang Yi agreed very much:
"There is definitely a crisis public relations, but the specific way to do it depends on strategies. What do you think?"
After a brief silence, everyone spoke:
"Chairman, let us issue a statement first, saying that Xingyi mobile phones, XOS systems, and Kunpeng chips do not have security loopholes. We will sue the rumor-mongering person and hold the corresponding legal liability."
"In addition, we must fight a good public opinion war and guide public opinion. We must never be led by the other party."
"In this way, we can minimize our losses."
“This works.”
Others also agreed.
Wang Yi waved his hand: "The effect is limited. If we clarify public opinion, Apple will continue to slander. If we dispatch the network troops, Apple will continue to invest in the navy."
"As the saying goes, spreading rumors opens your mouth and refutes rumors and breaks your legs. It is difficult to clarify things when things develop to this point."
Everyone frowned, but they also understood that it was true.
Many good brands and good things were ruined in this way.
For example, MSG, a word MSG is harmful. If you eat it, you have to eat chicken essence.
As a result, the MSG cooled down and the sales of chicken essence increased significantly.
Even though the main ingredient of chicken essence is MSG, plus some food additives, it is even more unhealthy and has much higher prices, and is still popular.
However, MSG has a bad reputation, abandoned by the majority of families, sales have plummeted, and the company has gone bankrupt...
The same is true for Xingyi Technology today, and it is difficult to refute rumors.
"What kind of work? If the situation continues like this, I guess those big customers will refund orders one after another."
Zhu Changlin couldn't help but say: "And the influence of this incident is not only overseas, but also begins to ferment in China. Many domestic users and fans have also begun to believe it and question our Xingyi mobile phones, resulting in a decrease in sales."
Others also said: "Yes, things are getting worse and worse, and strategies must be adopted, and it will only be more troublesome if this continues."
"Oh, that's it, but how to do it is a big problem."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yi smiled: "It's very simple. It's meaningless to simply refute rumors, but it's easier for us to refute rumors on offensively."
"Occurrence-style rumor refutation?"
"What's the meaning?"
Everyone was confused and had never heard of this word.
"It's very simple. It's just to refute the rumors and attack comprehensively and disrupt the situation!" Wang Yi said:
"Next, we will not just refute the rumors, but directly say that Xingyi mobile phones, XOS systems, and Kunpeng processors do not have backdoors. This incident is a slander of competitors..."
After hearing Wang Yi's words, everyone's eyes were straight:
"It's okay!"
"In this way, it can not only clarify more effectively, but also achieve unexpected results."
“Great, this idea.”
Wang Yi smiled faintly: "Go and do it quickly, it's time to act."
Then he looked at Zhu Changlin: "Our Xingyi X1 is ready, are we?"
"Everything is ready, Chairman, the domestic distribution is currently smooth, and it is expected to be all done in three days. The progress of distribution in overseas markets such as Ome is a little slower, and it is estimated that it will be almost the same in five or six days. But it will take more than a week for other overseas markets."
"About a week? Yes, then just one week, act quickly!"
"Yes!" everyone responded.
As for Apple, seeing the rumors spread successfully, Xingyi mobile phones, XOS systems, and Kunpeng chips are all caught in a backdoor incident, which is greatly affected and sales have dropped sharply, and Apple is extremely excited.
Cook even opened champagne at Apple headquarters to celebrate this great victory.
However, at this moment, Xingyi Technology issued an announcement:
[Xingyi Technology strongly condemns the rumors that Xingyi mobile phones, XOS systems, and Kunpeng chips have backdoors that appear on the Internet.
Xingyi Technology is not like some of its competitors, but is the protagonist of Prism Door. On the contrary, all our products do not have backdoors.
The backdoor rumors are all malicious slandering behaviors taken by some brands of their own products, with sales plummeting and smearing under the rush of the wall, and there is no evidence.
The purpose is to curb our upcoming new landmark super flagship phone, Xingyi Mobile X1, and prevent their phones from continuing to plummet in sales.
After all, since we became international, the brand's mobile phone sales have dropped by 40%.
After our Xingyi X1 is released, their sales will continue to plummet, exceeding 50% or even 60%.
For this reason, the brand has adopted a series of organized, premeditated and planned smearing behaviors, and has spread rumors that our Xingyi mobile phones, boundless mobile phones, XOS systems, and Kunpeng chips have a backdoor.
The following are the nodes and times of the entire rumor-mongering incident, mainly the parties involved in the rumor-mongering and their relationship with a certain brand.
From March 3 to 4, the rumor-cast Xingyi mobile phone has a backdoor. The rumor-caster: two American communication experts and one European communication expert, three of them are guests of a certain brand and often attend a series of activities such as the brand press conference.
The evidence is as follows.
On the evening of March 5, the rumor-cast XOS system had a backdoor. The rumor-caster:...is a loyal fan of a certain brand, and has worked with the senior executives of a certain brand to take photos many times...
On the morning of March 6, the rumors were spreading Kunpeng chips had a backdoor. The rumor spreader:...there were many launch conferences of a certain brand.
Since its release in September last year, sales of a brand's new flagship have plummeted due to a series of problems such as small screen, old design, poor configuration, low performance, short battery life, and inadequate sales.
According to statistics from IDC and other institutions, the brand's mobile phone sales have plummeted by more than 42% compared to its peak period before!
The brand's tablet sales have plummeted by more than 64% compared to its previous peak!
The brand's stock price also plummeted by more than 37% compared to its previous peak period!
The stock prices of mobile phones, tablets and stocks plummeted across the board, resulting in some irrational behaviors and crazy rumors spreading rumors and smearing competitors, which is a bad idea.
Xingyi Technology sincerely recommends that you practice more of the brand’s dishes, and focus on how to improve your product strength, resources on mobile phone research and development, energy on innovation, and enthusiasm on users!
Instead of losing the foundation and scrutinizing the bottom line, not improving product strength, not developing core functions, not doing more innovations, and not serving users better. On the contrary, they only know how to spread rumors and discredit friends who are better than themselves.
This behavior is truly a brainless person. It not only infringes on the rights and interests of its competitors, but also plays the tragic song of its own brand.
Xingyi Technology is not afraid of all legitimate challenges and opposes all rumors and slander.
I suggest that you practice more dishes from friendly merchants and carefully develop good products. If you really can’t develop them, you can copy them according to our Xingyi mobile phone!
After all, your design is indeed too outdated!
Finally, Xingyi Technology's brand new super flagship X series is coming soon.
A week later, Xingyi X1 will be released globally!
Subvert innovation, comprehensive justice!]
As soon as this statement was released, the world was in an uproar and the public opinion on the Internet changed:
"I'll just say, how can Xingyi's mobile phone have a backdoor? What Xingyi Technology hates the most is the backdoor, and it's true that it's a rumor-stirring friend to spread rumors and slander."
"It's true that from beginning to end, the experts and the media jumped up and down, constantly slandering, but in the end, there was no reliable evidence. It was really a joke that started, and it was all about making up!"
"Sure enough, Xingyi's mobile phone is still reliable. Without a backdoor, it is absolutely safe. On the contrary, Apple, Qualcomm, and Google are the guests of Prism Door, right?"
"That's right, Sden exposed the prism door, but there is a lot of evidence, and the evidence is as strong as a mountain. And the friend's slander Xingyi's mobile phone has a backdoor, so it's really all up to spread rumors, and there is no evidence."
"I really haven't seen any evidence. I actually believed such a childish rumor. I'm so stupid, really."
"Fake, I was also cheated and wronged Xingyi Technology. By the way, who is this damn friendly businessman?"
"It's still a question? Mobile phone sales plummeted by 42%, and stock prices plummeted by 37%. Who can it be?"
"It's estimated that it's Apple, and iPhone 5S sales have dropped by at least 42%!"
"It may also be Samsung, whose stock price plummeted severely."
"It's not Samsung, Samsung's stock price has only fallen by 15%! Apple's stock price has only fallen by 37%! And iPad sales have indeed dropped by 64%!"
"In addition, the iPhone is fully in line with the series of problems such as Xingyi Technology's small screen, old design, poor configuration, low performance, short battery life, and inflated price!"
"It's really Apple, it's all up!"
"So after Xingyi's mobile phone internationalization, iPhone sales plummeted by 42%, iPad sales plummeted by 64%, Apple's stock price plummeted by 37%. Cook was anxious and deliberately planned this smear of rumors, thinking of using this to kill Xingyi Technology's new super flagship phone - Xingyi X1?"
"It must be so. After all, the Xphone 3 and Xphone 3 plus are almost killing the iPhone 5S and 5C. If there is another more powerful Xingyi X1, no one will buy the iPhone 5s, and the sales of iPhone will plummet by 60%, or even 70%.
"So that's it. No wonder Apple dogs are eager to jump over the wall. This is the sales volume is almost over!"
"The garbage apples, their own products are not good, and I don't know how to work hard to develop them, and I actually discredit Xingyi Technology and think about some evil ways."
"If you have a backdoor in your own products, you can spread rumors that Xingyi Technology has a backdoor in your own products. It's really not clean, and you can't stand others clean."
"Trunk Apple, I'm going to be a stupid pig if I buy an iPhone!"
"As a senior iPhone user, I feel deeply ashamed and am ready to smash the iPhone and replace it with Xingyi's phone."
"Fake, I was cheated by Apple and I've already smashed the Xphone 3 plus?"
"It's okay, use the backup machine first. Xingyi X1 will come in a week, so go in!"
"Good idea, I also impulsively smashed the Xphone 3, just in time to buy Xingyi X1!"
"Trunk Apple or Xingyi Technology is powerful. I wonder how powerful the Xingyi X1 is?"
"It will be released in a week, look forward to it!"
Chapter completed!
