Cicada Technology's office is in an inconspicuous office building in Zhongguan Village, and Xia Ming is here for the first time. He is the chairman of Cicada Dong, originally the chairman wanted Li Diluo to be the chairman, but Li Diluo was already very satisfied with the position of general manager, and said that he would not do anything, so Xia Ming had to take up this title.

The office is very small, fifty or sixty square meters, and there is no partition at all, and a few desks are a hard work. Anyway, except for Li Diluo, a full-time general manager, the company has no formal employees, and the finances are all part-time.

This will Li Diluo, Xiao Huan, and another part-time promotion girl, Gu Mingli, are all staring at the computer screen, either tracking the tide of public opinion set off by Liu Ruru's video on the Internet, or staring at Prometheus's non-stop sales figures, Xia Ming is talking to Liu Ruru on the phone.

Xia Ming didn't expect Liu Yiru to be so active and enthusiastically support Prometheus, and the video was released on the fourth day, and the performance in the video completely reached the level of a brain-dead fan. The explanation of the power consumption analysis function is even more exaggerated, which is simply a call to fight back against the evil forces of mobile phones.

Seeing that the evaluation video triggered a wave of public opinion criticizing mobile phone manufacturers, maybe the turmoil will exceed public opinion, Liu Ruru was also a little panicked and called Xia Ming for ventilation.

Xia Ming said to Liu Ruru: "Regarding the matter of Prometheus, you don't have to respond anymore, throw the pot to us cicadas." If the pressure is too much, you can say that you can read according to the copy we gave. ”

"It's not enough, I still want face", Liu Ruru breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he is just an Internet celebrity, it doesn't matter how he tears on the Internet, and even the more he tears, the happier he becomes, but when things extend to reality, he doesn't have the ability to resist. Now that Xia Ming is willing to take the blame, the pressure is less.

On Q, Li Diluo sent the latest sales figures, and there was a sentence: "In another hour, my head will be saved!" ”

Xia Ming looked at it and happily said to Liu Ruru: "Don't be so nervous, it seems that we have bad luck together, there are two million views on the video, right?" Prometheus's sales have also doubled a few times, and we are a win-win situation! ”

Lakh! Just one day after the video was released, Prometheus broke the 100,000 mark, and there were literally more than 2 million more in the company's account! And that should be just the beginning......

Liu Ruru said modestly: "I just stood at the front desk, and there was no advisory group to promote science popularization in those places, and no one believed my words." ”

This is the truth, Liu seems to praise Prometheus in the video, if it is a free APP, it doesn't cost everyone to try it, but if you want to pay for it, you have to look at it again. So the advisory group played a role in the meager science, know, say it and other places, see an APP will have so many people talk about its technology, spray less praise more, although it is not clear, but there should be dry goods, spend 19 or even 31 yuan is also worth it.

"You can rest assured, according to our agreement, the pay-per-click part, the cicada will never be less of you."

Xia Ming thought that Liu Ruru also wanted to remind him of the cost and reiterate his heart.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ruru said: "No, no, I want to cancel the previous agreement and refund the first payment to you." Don't get me wrong, Mr. Xia, I don't want to dissociate myself from you, but I want to make this video a completely neutral review, Prometheus ......"

Xia Ming was a little stunned, what does Liu Ruru mean by this?

I heard Liu Ruru say with a little excitement: "Prometheus has found a new direction for my career, and I hope you will persevere!" This video is regarded as a little bit of strength from my colleagues! ”

Liu seems to really understand the meaning of Prometheus......

Xia Ming was a little moved, Prometheus was originally written by Lin Cheng for his convenience, and after he took over, he didn't think about making a lot of money from it at first, and he completely improved it according to his own needs. Later, when developing the DLC, it combined Lin Cheng and his own ideas, as well as the needs of the technical nerds in the advisory group, and it can be said that the whole body is full of the cold taste of technical nerds.

Liu Ruru said: "This is an APP with faith, and the belief is that technology respects people, not control and deceive, which is the direction I want to go in the future for evaluation!" ”

Then his tone changed: "However, Prometheus' UI is really ......"

Xia Ming said: "You are really right in the video, our company has no art now, and the interface is all made by me." ”

The two laughed at the same time, and Xia Ming said again: "The agreement has been signed, and I have to charge liquidated damages if I want to regret it." If that's what you really think, next time make a video that is not emotional and more objective. In the future, the new products of the cicada will also help us evaluate them for free. ”

Liu Ruru sighed helplessly and accepted the proposal.

"It's coming! Here it comes! The big news is out! ”

Xiao Huan suddenly shouted, and Liu Ruru was also saying, "Why did the walnuts jump out first!" ”

Xia Ming's side, as well as Liu Ruru, both know that after the tide of public opinion is set off, there will definitely be a reaction from the mobile phone manufacturer. is still waiting for the leaders of mobile phone manufacturers such as wheat and chrysanthemums to jump out, after all, Prometheus has a great influence on them, why did such a small role as Walnut end first?

This walnut is really menacing.

Walnut Mobile released a statement on the official website and official blog, saying that it has recently received user complaints that after installing a power-saving APP called Prometheus, there have been various failures such as system instability, data loss, and even bricked mobile phones. After testing by technicians, the APP took advantage of the vulnerability of Android and seized control of the phone, which is malware.

Walnut Mobile sincerely suggests to the majority of users that they should never download and install the software, so as not to suffer significant losses to the mobile phone and even private information. At the same time, Walnut Mobile will report the software to the relevant departments, according to the current management norms, the malware must stop advertising and sales from now on, and accept the punishment of the relevant departments. ”

To viewers who don't know the truth, this statement really seems like that, even the average user will be suspicious of Prometheus. That's right, you can get the ROOT right, you can monitor all the processes and management, then Prometheus, what you want to do yourself, we don't know, and we can't control it.

Xiao Huan said indignantly: "They are too bullying!" When did Prometheus make a phone malfunction? ”

Gu Mingli sneered: "This is also worth being angry about? Every word of the mask is fake, what can you do with them? In this world, lying is a virtue, and you are stupid if you are deceived! ”

This girl is estimated to have been deceived by the face mask seller......

Gu Mingli is the younger sister of Xia Ming and Li Diluo, and the vice president of the student union. has a mouth that can be said, but he is often angry, which is very similar to Li Diluo.

Li Diluo was a little timid: "This statement is a bit scary, and you want to report us, what should I do?" ”

Then he was angry again: "Slow down! I'm grass, this walnut phone is really ruthless! ”

This guy is still worried about when he will be able to save his head, and he has been staring at the sales figures.

On the other side of the phone, Liu Ruru said: "Walnut is also eyeing me, and several video websites have said that someone has reported me for false propaganda, and I need to be psychologically prepared, maybe the video will be banned." ”

Although the walnut mobile phone is only a small role in the mobile phone industry, it is still a behemoth compared to Cicada Dong and Liu Xiangru.

Xia Ming said: "On the side of the relevant departments, I asked someone to ask, but the focus is still on technology. Walnut Mobile does attack Prometheus's weakness, that is, the problem of management, knowing that the explanations of those places are too professional for ordinary people to understand. We have to think about how to make it easier for users to understand that Prometheus is really giving them back the right to manage. ”

Li Diluo and the others all nodded, Gu Mingli's gaze at Xia Ming also changed a little subtly, she was not very familiar with Xia Ming, so she thought that she was a technical nerd, but she didn't expect to see the problem to the point, and it didn't match his green taste.

Seeing the problem can hit the nail on the head, it is not so easy to solve the problem, Xia Ming picked at his head for most of the day, he didn't think of the right direction, seeing that the sun had sunk in the west, Xiao Huan's laughter echoed in the office, it was really like a bell, crisp and pleasant.

"Walnut phone bar has been blown up!"

The walnut mobile phone bar in the bar is very different from other mobile phone bars,This bar with less than one million attention is not officially controlled by walnut mobile phones,There are both walnut mobile phone users,There are also walnut black and Gongsun black,More are still visitors。 There are too many controversial topics in Walnut mobile phones, and once the official comes forward, not only can it not control public opinion, but it will trigger a tide of attacks, so Walnut simply does not directly manage this place, but only makes some indirect control over too sensitive content.

But today, the walnut mobile phone can't control it anymore, half of the small bars are "surrendering to the enemy", and the bar owner is also pretending to be missing, allowing the overwhelming posts to rage in the bar.

"Prometheus technology is so good, all the bones in the body are titanium alloy, and the walnuts will hit them without touching them first, and they will be hammers?"

"Walnuts are running on the road to self-destruction!"

"Seventeen refutation of the walnut statement!"

"Walnut's words can't be trusted with a single punctuation mark! Have the ability to come up with evidence that Prometheus bricked his phone! ”

The first wave was this kind of dry goods stickers, all of which were statements against walnut mobile phones, refuting them one by one.

The next one is not so professional, directly turning over a bunch of walnut mobile phone entrepreneurial era of all kinds of bad deeds, from super monkey skills to scum to bad workmanship, to customer service that may have done its best but collapsed in the face of ultra-high return and complaint rates, and prices that have plummeted all the way.

Another batch of people who entered the entrance came directly to Gongsun and reworked several paragraphs from the previous two years.

"It's subversive! It's like how a walnut stands on a table and smashes it with a hammer! ”

"All big factories will plagiarize the cross talk I said, Samsung and Apple are no exceptions!"

"Walnuts are going to change the way people use their smartphones, and everyone is going to wrap a loop of tape around their phones!"

"Walnut ROM embodies humanistic care everywhere, just like dad and mom."

What really exploded the walnut mobile phone bar is the moth swarm, as the name suggests, moths to the fire, these moths also have their own old driver attributes.

"New drivers take to the road and ask for help!"

"Waiting for the car, the cave deep card is ready!"

"New car field practice, first class seventeen!"

On the top floor of the headquarters building, the executives were trying their best to persuade Gongsun to despise, and the teacher's face was flushed, obviously not embarrassed by the fruits on the computer screen.

The CEO said: "Our fans are not talking about it, it's just Walnut Black's ** place to entertain themselves, don't take it to heart, teacher!" The more we react, the greater Prometheus' fame. ”

Gongsun slapped the table and said, "Don't coax me with these words!" I usually soak in it, 800,000 pay attention to it, at least 100,000 of them are our people! This position cannot be lost! The official website official blog has commented that we have been embarrassed, and it has also been exploded, what do others think!? will only say, oh, Gongsun was planted in Liu Ruru's hands this time! ”

The next sentence made the executives change color: "I have to scold Liu Ruru well, it's too shameless!" Instigating the Internet to make people engage in online violence against walnuts on the Internet, is there any royal law!? ”

Seeing that he also put the spearhead on Liu Ruru, the executives scolded in their stomachs. Teacher, don't tear this matter up as a personal grudge, how can we deal with our public relations crisis? The real enemy is Prometheus, even if your peers and relevant departments want to support us, teacher, you have become a two-person tear, how will people end?

"Teacher, slow down!" The CTO received a message and went to the computer to open a page.

It's the official website homepage of Cicada Technology, the simple interface and the black, green and red colors make everyone almost laugh, and the cicada technology that is right for our walnuts is such a small workshop?

When I saw a statement on the homepage, including Gongsun Contempt, my face sank.

"In view of the user's doubts about the management mechanism of Prometheus software, from now on, Prometheus will cancel the online update function, and the content that needs to be updated in the future, Cicada Technology will notify the user through SMS, and the user can decide whether to update it according to his needs, and the subsequent update content will not affect the software function."

"Cicada Technology solemnly declares that the concept of Prometheus Software is: technology respects people, technology is mastered by users, so there is no server side, after canceling the online update function, it will become a pure stand-alone software, will not disclose any ** of users, and there are no network-related security vulnerabilities.

Prometheus claims that it is a stand-alone software, so there is no basis for accusing it of stealing data or something, and this riposte of Cicada is really ......

The head of the market said with a smile: "We have forced it to self-harm, how can it do the value-added business in the future if it is not online?" How do I receive ads? How do I get the data? It can't make any money! ”

The CTO glanced at him and didn't speak, but the CEO scolded on the spot: "The Qing Dynasty is over!" Are you still sleeping!? People are paid! The basic version is 19 pieces! ”

Gongsun stared at the executive, made a note on the blacklist of the year-end bonus, and then he gave an order: "The technical department will stay up all night today to find out the problem of Prometheus!" With the evidence, I went to the leaders above and saw how many days they could jump! ”

"In terms of publicity, let users know that we are uncompromising! Since we are the first to stand up, we must be the most resolute! Software like Prometheus is the underworld! If you are not on our side, you are our enemy! ”

Hearing that Gongsun was no longer entangled in Liu Yiru, the executives were relieved, but the second instruction made them frown again, and there was a vague feeling of something wrong. It's just that Prometheus's statement will technically also defeat the Walnut Army, and the situation is not very good, and it can only rely on the courage of Teacher Gongsun.

At the beginning of the night, in the office of Cicada Technology, not only Xia Ming, but also Li Diluo and the two girls were not tired at all, and continued to devote themselves to this cyber war without gunpowder.

"Aha! My head was finally saved! ”

Li Diluo said proudly, after the previous announcement of canceling the online update was issued, after the spread of meager and other places, many people's concerns have been dispelled, and the sales figures of Prometheus have begun to jump again, and the goal of three million has been achieved.

"This statement is just plugging the leak, and it is not the final word", Xia Ming was not satisfied, although the current sales growth rate has improved, but it has only changed from a single jump to a ten-digit jump.

Xiao Huantong, who is responsible for monitoring "public opinion", reported: "Walnut Mobile has issued a statement again!" ”

Gu Mingli hurriedly read it out: "We just made a very difficult decision......
