Chapter 3119 Not Once or Twice

Zhou Shaoning did not participate, which provided him with a good perspective to observe from the sidelines. He said worriedly, "If you want to use this incident to rally the hearts of Hollywood people, it may not be that easy."

"Let's get organized."

Zhou Buqi is very confident.

Zhou Shaoning said, "I'm just afraid that some people won't agree! After all, you are an outsider who came from the technology industry, and many people in power in Hollywood may not be happy to see that. At least the other big companies definitely don't want you to dominate the market and control people's hearts."

"Yeah!" Zhou Buqi nodded, "That makes sense. We should be vigilant."

Zhou Shaoning said: "Just put yourself in their shoes. Just like the domestic mobile phone industry. Whether it is Meizu, Xiaomi, ZTE, or Huawei, we don't have that much resistance in our hearts. Although they are competitors, they are all our own after all. But when facing Samsung, LG, Apple, HTC, etc., the mentality is different. Although domestic peers sometimes fight to the death, when facing foreign companies, peers are still very united."

Zhou Buqi narrowed his eyes, "That's right. Ziweixing Global's dazzling performance in the past few years is indeed very enviable. This year's net profit is expected to reach 55 billion US dollars, which is almost the sum of Disney and Time Warner."

"So, you still have to be cautious. If they secretly unite and go against you, it will be troublesome. If you personally go down to take charge of the situation and your colleagues don't give you face, it will be easy to lose face."

Zhou Shaoning doesn’t know much about Hollywood, but business and human nature are universal.

Just like the powerful iPhone 6 this time, all parties have come out at the same time. Not only is Estar and Samsung cooperating, but many peers are also working silently behind the scenes.

For example, a recent BBC report was quite damaging.

It was said that the BBC sent a Chinese reporter, disguised as a worker, to join the iPhone production line undercover. Then it was miserable. He worked for 16 consecutive days without a break, and the working hours every day exceeded 10 hours. He was not allowed to take leave or rest even if he wanted to.

This is pure worker abuse.

This report did not come from some other fake media or media that lacks international credibility, but from the BBC in the UK, which is very recognized in the European and American markets. As soon as this article came out, it immediately caused an uproar, and many institutions and media criticized Apple.

Think Apple has gone too far!

Apple is making hard-earned money!

However, Zhou Buqi really couldn't express his opinion on this matter and could only pretend that he knew nothing.

The undercover reporter's investigative report is of course true.

This is the status quo.

But the iPhone assembly line workers actually have the best living conditions and working conditions in the industry, which is much more civilized than other mobile phone manufacturing assembly lines. The dozens of suicides at Foxconn are no joke.

If we really want to conduct a comprehensive demonstration and analysis, Estar's assembly line production is not as good as Apple's!

Zhou Buqi can't get involved in such things.

However, if you think about it, you can understand that the BBC article was suddenly published when the iPhone 6 was a global hit, and the BBC also sent a reporter to successfully go undercover and enter the iPhone manufacturing assembly line...

You know, it's not easy to become a worker on this assembly line. First of all, those who have too high academic qualifications, those who are too rich, those who are too clean and polite, those who cannot endure hardship and like to fight cannot go. In addition, there is a one-month on-the-job training.

It is very likely that colleagues in the industry helped to open a back door for the undercover reporter, allowing him to enter and experience the work.

There is another thing that has suddenly become a hot topic in the past two days.

The iPhone 6 is easy to bend.

This is another very heavy negative news.

Among the mobile phones of the same period, iPhone 6 is thinner and lighter than other mobile phones. Being thinner and lighter with a larger screen, it is naturally easier to bend, which is also a good attack point. I don’t know who is behind it, but there are such news being widely promoted both at home and abroad.

The huge success of iPhone 6 has made many competitors unite behind the scenes. This situation is similar to that of Hollywood's Ziweixing Global.

Even a bad movie series like "The Hunger Games" can be made into a global hit, which shows how strong Ziweixing Global is, and how many people are envious and jealous of them behind the scenes.

  Zhou Buqi also realized that he could not be careless and had to contact Apple quickly!

We must quickly seize the initiative!

Zhou Buqi contacted Cook.

At this time, Apple was in a mess.

Compared to the various criticisms and smears about the iPhone 6, what really scares Apple is what is happening in Hollywood. So far, more than a dozen nude photos of actresses and female hosts have been released.

It spread like wildfire on Google Images, Reddit, Tumblr, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, and more.

As for female celebrities, everyone wants to take a look at their beauty and find out whether they really have diamonds and why they are so expensive.

Cook was a little panicked now. When he received Zhou Buqi's call, he immediately asked, "How is it? Is there any new development regarding the photo?"

Zhou Buqi pretended to be annoyed and said, "What on earth are you doing?"

Cook said: "It has nothing to do with me!"

"Not related?" Zhou Buqi didn't give him a chance to shirk responsibility. "Now the evidence is solid. Those photos were taken with an iPhone and stored on Apple's cloud. Your cloud platform, the security mechanism is too poor, isn't it? How could it be so easily taken?"

Cook explained: "No one hacked into the Apple cloud, but someone used the account and password..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Zhou Buqi interrupted him. "Go explain this to outsiders. I was the one who promoted the cloud computing industry. How could I not know what cloud security is? I am sure that there must be huge loopholes in the security mechanism of Apple Cloud!"

Cook was a little unhappy and said in a deep voice: "Zhou, now is not the time to argue about this. We should work together to find a solution to the problem! We should prevent more photos from being leaked. I know you have a huge industry in Hollywood and a great influence. We should cooperate on this matter!"

Zhou Buqi snorted, "You also know about my business in Hollywood. Did you know that the biggest victim in this wave of nude photos is Jennifer Lawrence? She is the star of "The Hunger Games 3". In two months, this blockbuster starring her with a cost of 2 million US dollars will be released! This incident has caused me huge troubles, and the direct economic losses may exceed 5 million US dollars!"

Cook didn't believe such exaggerations and lost his temper. "No one wants this to happen, and... you and I both know that Hollywood has always been the focus of hacker attacks. This has happened more than once or twice."

"Hmm?" Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, "Apple Cloud has been hacked before?"

Cook said angrily: "It's not me, it's you!"

"I?"

Zhou Buqi was slightly startled.

Cook snorted, "Isn't it? Three or four years ago, Yahoo Mail was hacked, and the nature of the Apple Cloud attack is completely different. In Apple Cloud, hackers obtained the user's account and password and logged into the cloud album through a legal path. When Yahoo Mail was cracked, it was a real hacker intrusion that completely destroyed the security wall of Yahoo Mail. Isn't this more serious?!"

Zhou Buqi had never heard of this matter.

But Cook said it so confidently, so it must be true.

As for women, it’s like I’ve never seen them before.

The Internet is full of pornographic photos, and people are tired of seeing them. The only thing that can cause a public outcry is a female star in the entertainment industry, which will attract attention and be effective in blackmail. As a result, there are a large number of third-rate hackers who keep an eye on female stars all day long and try every means to steal their personal information.

"Now is not the time to shirk responsibility!" Zhou Buqi didn't want to change the subject. "We have to find a solution to the problem from the source. You can't hesitate. You have to act quickly!"
