In the high-end café of Xiaguang CBD, Zhang Zhicheng signed a cooperation agreement with Mr. Wang of the wheat mobile phone market, and the assistants discussed the details of the joint development conference on the side, and the two chatted.

"Teacher Gongsun is really a model in the industry, and at the end of the year, he still works so hard to entertain everyone."

"He's not talking about cross talk, but playing with fire, you see that the penguins were burned back then, and he still came to play this trick."

The two talked about the second statement of Walnut mobile phone, Walnut said that if the user fails due to the installation of Prometheus, the official will not give warranty and return and other after-sales guarantees, and said that Walnut OS will be upgraded in the near future, to detect software like Prometheus, if the user installs Prometheus, Walnut mobile phone will have to take "countermeasures" to ensure the safety of users.

Walnut's statement set off a more fierce war of words than the first statement, not only many people ridiculed the after-sales service of Walnut mobile phones as scum, but now they want to use Prometheus to shake the pot. There are also people who accuse Walnut Mobile of unfair competition, trying to emulate Penguin's behavior of asking users to choose "with me without him" a few years ago, and as we all know, Penguin failed.

There are also many people on Walnut's side, but according to a good news media survey, most of these supporters don't use Walnut mobile phones. And the real walnut users have run a lot because of this statement, walnut bar and walnut official blog under the water of "smashing walnuts to keep safe", regardless of whether Prometheus has a problem or not, you still care so much about making a mobile phone, you really think you are the user's father.

The biggest effect of this statement was that Prometheus's official website put up a celebratory sign the next day, and the sales exceeded 150,000......

Zhang Zhicheng was puzzled: "Teacher Gongsun can't see the harm to himself from this statement, right?" ”

Mr. Wang shook his head: "He can see it, but since he has already jumped out first, he has to rush to the end, otherwise how can he mix in this industry." ”

Zhang Zhicheng asked: "Then you wheat is not ready to do something?" The Walnut Phone is just a small character, and if it is defeated by Prometheus, it will be a great threat to you. ”

Mr. Wang smiled: "We discussed Prometheus, to be honest, I have it in my phone now, it's a good thing." But it is inherently a niche software, only people who are sensitive to technology and ** will use it, and the number of users can reach the sky. So the battle with walnuts can't reach the level that affects us. If we end up, we will make the topic bigger, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Zhang Zhicheng was about to speak, when he suddenly received a text message, he glanced at it indifferently, and his face changed slightly.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Zhicheng asked as if he was worried about wheat: "I believe that you wheat and chrysanthemums can see clearly, but if other first-line manufacturers can't help it, won't it be troublesome?" ”

Mr. Wang smiled and said meaningfully: "Those of us who are in the lead, we still do things in a measured way. I don't know what other people are going to do if they end up, but they definitely won't be like Teacher Gongsun, who will only talk about cross talk and self-harm. ”

"To be honest, Prometheus has been regarded as a cancer in the industry, and even if he passes the level of Teacher Gongsun, the final outcome is not good-looking. If it honestly makes a small amount of money, it doesn't have a chance to live......"

Then Mr. Wang's words were very thorough: "If Mr. Zhang knows the boss of the cicada, you might as well pass on a sentence, Prometheus's concept is to create our rebellion, in the words of the Jianghu people, this is to cut off everyone's life." Of course, I don't think he has such lofty ideals, isn't he using Prometheus to block everyone's way just to collect some money to buy roads? Wheat can pay for him to withdraw this card. ”

Zhang Zhicheng touched his nose and smiled: "I know, but I don't know each other, so I must talk about it when I have the opportunity." ”

After that, the two did not talk about this topic again, and when the agreement was completed and the press conference was negotiated, the two shook hands and said goodbye. Seeing Mr. Wang leave, Zhang Zhicheng muttered: "That kid is a scientist, not a roadblocker......

Prometheus was made by Xia Ming, Zhang Zhicheng knew that when he won over Xia Ming before, he also mentioned this thing, and he didn't care too much about it, but he didn't expect Prometheus to be able to make such a big battle.

"Scientists can't play business, but it's okay to make waves, the world should indeed change", Zhang Zhicheng muttered to himself and dialed Xia Ming's phone.

"Lawyer You, please come in, the company has just started a business, and the conditions are too simple."

Xia Ming welcomed a thin middle-aged man into the office of Cicada Technology, before he just sent a text message to Zhang Zhicheng, asking him about the industry management norms, to see what Prometheus would do in this regard, but he didn't expect Zhang Zhicheng to directly introduce him to a lawyer, and he didn't expect that the lawyer named You Kuang would come over directly for an interview after receiving his call.

You Kuang didn't care at all: "I just like to communicate with startups, and I don't have any style." ”

Xia Ming and You Kuang were chatting on the side, and Li Diluo had a small meeting with Xiao Huan and Gu Mingli on Q.

【You Kuang? What about the gold medal lawyer, it's very expensive, can we afford it? 】

[Mr. Li, don't be so petty, we will earn four million in a day and a half! ] 】

[People are not the kind of unscrupulous lawyers, you will know that they specialize in helping start-up companies fight lawsuits. 】

[Four million! We've got to change offices! I want to have a dedicated general manager's office! I also have to have a beautiful girl paper as my assistant! 】

[I'm not a pretty woman! 】

[Mr. Li, you line up, and the assistant must be left to the chairman first. 】

"The reason I'm running so fast is because I'm also a tech nerd and a fan of Prometheus. ”

Xia Ming's heart warmed, not only Liu Ruru, but also Wudao Shrimp, who had dealt with before, also led the advisory group to vigorously popularize science, and now there is You Kuang, there are really many people who agree with the concept of Prometheus.

You Kuangzan said: "You have turned Prometheus into a pure stand-alone software, this step is very good, which cuts off the way for others to find fault with you in data and security." ”

Xia Mingxin said that Prometheus was originally written by Lin Cheng for his own use, of course, there was no network function, and then when it was perfected, he added online updates in consideration of the convenience of user updates. Now removing online updates is more in line with Prometheus's philosophy, and it has also gained a firm foothold in the war of public opinion.

"Teacher Gongsun's threats don't have to be taken to heart, he has to report and complain, and there must be evidence. I've also seen the information that to brand Prometheus as malware, he can't get conclusive evidence. In fact, Walnut Mobile not only does not threaten you, but helps you advertise......"

You Kuang's words made Xia Ming feel the same way, after the second statement of Walnut Mobile came out, in less than a day, Prometheus's sales exceeded the 150,000 mark, and the income exceeded 4 million, although this money is only a drop in the bucket for the institute's restart plan, but at least there is hope.

Then You Kuang's expression became serious: "But have you ever thought about who will be next after knocking down the walnut phone?" ”

Xia Ming sighed, of course he knew that the next one would be a first-line mobile phone manufacturer, and the means would not be such a child's play as walnut mobile phones.

He smiled again: "If Lawyer You is here for this, then I will be relieved." ”

You Kuang shook his head: "As for me, I'm just helping you solve legal problems, out of concept and morality, I can also help you find out the news, the key is up to you, to see how far you can persevere." ”

Xia Ming asked, "Isn't Lawyer You optimistic about the prospects of Prometheus?" ”

You Kuang said: "Prometheus is now a cancer in the entire mobile phone industry, and it is only developing in a small niche, and it is not impossible to survive." But now that public opinion is arguing so fiercely, if it detonates some other problems, it will become a cancer cell in the eyes of the giants, and it is difficult to say at that time. ”

"We are not here to be martyrs, things will always have to be discussed at that time", Xia Ming's words made You Kuang both regretful and gratified, but unfortunately Xia Ming didn't seem to want to fight to the end, and the banner of ideas raised by Prometheus seemed to be just a cover for buying road money. Fortunately, Xia Ming's attitude has given him a relaxed space for his work, and if he does this case well, his influence in the industry will also increase greatly.

Xia Ming was sighing, the enemy of Prometheus is also the whole world.

When the two were sighing, Xiao Huan made another discovery: "Samsung mobile phone released a report saying that Prometheus is tampering with the system log!" ”

Samsung!? Got in so soon?

Everyone gathered in front of Xiao Huan's computer screen, Samsung mobile phone can be said to be the leader of the Android camp, but in China, it is no longer a first-line brand, but compared with walnuts, the influence is still much greater.

"These data, ...... wrong"

Xia Ming now sees things at a veritable glance, and he can see at a glance that the report of Samsung's mobile phone is lying, and the processes and services that Samsung has accused of tampering with system logs are not Prometheus's.

What the hell is going on has to be investigated, Xia Ming went back to the research institute to find Lin Cheng, Lin Cheng also felt inexplicable, which one of the three stars is singing?

In the evening, the answer was revealed, and it was the first message from Wudao Shrimp.

[Our advisory group has already made a comparison and analysis, and it is confirmed that the person who did the evaluation on Samsung's side came out of the big basket by himself! ] They put another system monitoring software together with Prometheus, but they didn't expect Prometheus's authority to be higher than it, and the report that came out was Prometheus's! 】

In other words, it was the monitoring software that was actually tampering with the system logs, not Prometheus?

[That's right, if you use other system management software to run it with Prometheus, you can also blow up the cats of other software! ] The way to tell is very simple, Prometheus is not requesting network services now, but Samsung's report has that software requesting network services. 】

I'll it! The stick is really a stick, and even this kind of oolong can make trouble!

[Could it be our allies who make the report?] 】

Wudao shrimp is still joking, of course, this is just a joke, most of the Prometheus users who use Samsung mobile phones are very worried about safety and go to Samsung for official testing. The one who did the testing at the Samsung headquarters didn't know Prometheus at all, so he just wanted to fool around, and pressed it down layer by layer, and the people below were too careless, so they threw it out when they got the result, but they didn't expect to slap themselves firmly.

Lin Cheng complained all over his stomach, causing him to toss for a long time. Xia Ming posted the statement on the official website while comforting Lin Cheng: "Everyone says that if you are not afraid of god opponents, you are afraid of pig teammates, and now we are all pig opponents, what are you complaining about." ”

Lin Cheng scratched the lion's head and said dissatisfiedly: "It's not a matter to wait for others to make a move and we will deal with it, we can't spend all our energy on such a gadget as Prometheus, the thing you said is at a critical juncture." ”

Gadgets...... Serious is the income of Ben Yiyi, senior brother, your appetite is too big.

Xia Ming sneered, but it was not easy to reply, after all, he still kept Lin Cheng busy with other things.

However, Lin Cheng is also right, it is not a matter to always defend, and Prometheus is not the ultimate goal, you can't always spend your energy on it, you have to make a decision.

Xia Ming pondered for a long time on the surface, but in fact, he entered the management mode, rummaging in the vast data.

In the space of consciousness, the big words that Li Diluo had said before flashed.

Xia Ming sighed, it seemed that he had to advance the plan: "In this way, let's go straight to the tiger's den." ”

He dragged Lin Cheng to the computer: "That's the ......"

After Lin Cheng heard this, he said to Xia Ming suspiciously, "That's it?" ”

Xia Ming nodded, and Lin Cheng said helplessly: "Okay, then let it go and get this done." Just to be clear, don't think about me messing with Prometheus in the future. ”

Sure enough, in the eyes of a technical genius like Lin Cheng, it would be a waste of life to get a gadget like Prometheus.

The next day, You Kuang called: "The advisory group has done a good job, Samsung's report has been revealed, and the Internet has exploded again." ”

Not only did the Internet explode, but Li Diluo was also excitedly announcing the latest sales figures.

After Samsung's report came out, sales stagnated for a while, and it would be good to rise by three or five in an hour. And last night, Prometheus's official website issued a statement, revealing the bottom of Samsung's report, and as of this morning, the sales figure has approached the 200,000 mark!

What's even more gratifying is that the proportion of these sales figures comes from Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea. Samsung's report simply helped Prometheus pave the way for overseas markets.

"But ......"

You Kuang's voice was low: "As soon as Samsung came out like this, Prometheus became more popular, and now the craze on the Internet is not as simple as Prometheus itself." Weibo's big V, Zhiliao and other local masters, many big names in self-media, are using Prometheus to engage in an anti-mobile phone manufacturer network campaign. I received several calls from major media in the morning, trying to contact you from me to make this trend even more popular, what do you think? ”

He didn't make a direct suggestion, but there was concern in his words: "What I expected yesterday has become a reality today, in the eyes of the mobile phone boss, Prometheus has become a cancer cell." ”

Xia Ming smiled and said firmly: "No matter how you can't retreat without a fight, there is no need for an interview or something, and we will take the initiative to come forward after a while." ”
