[What is the Flyme 5.0 update? I played with my friend's MX5 and found that the documents and settings were messed up, and the interaction logic was a mess. It seems that my Pro5 has to stick to version 4.5. @J.wong]

[I also don't like the 5.0 version of Flyme update, but Yang Yan responded to me that it was all changed according to the user habits of Meiyou, and I have nothing to say. Meiyou who don't like 5.0 can tell me what's wrong with it, and I will send it to Yang Yan. ]

[Mr. Huang really loves the Flyme system. Welcome to discuss rationally with the boss. Do not use the year-end bonus to threaten me to change it. Any system problems are welcome to feedback to the official website~]

At the same time when Xie Jingxing was having a rare gathering with his apprentice, a netizen posted a message on the Meizu website forum @Huang Zhang's account, complaining about the poor performance of the recent system version update.

Huang Zhang replied frankly that he also didn't like it, and named Yang Yan, the person in charge of Flyme system R&D, who then left a polite comment.

There were few posts by active users on the forum at midnight and early morning that did not cause any splash. The few comments each took sides, either supporting professional product development or agreeing with the blogger.

Meizu Forum is an old professional content website in the field of mobile phones in China. Many great enthusiasts and entrepreneurial technology companies have emerged from it. This communication and collision environment has provided good growth nutrients for Meizu's acclaimed Flyme system.

Huang Zhang often interacted with forum users by posting and didn't think it was a big deal. He would forget about it when he woke up the next morning.

He arrived at the company on time as usual. Employees were queuing up in the lobby to clock in. The male employees in flip-flops greeted him and asked him good morning, while the female employees who were browsing Weibo put down their phones.

"Morning, Mr. Huang."

"morning."

"When I left work last night, I saw the lights were still on in your office. Did you work overtime until late again?"

A middle-aged woman wearing CL stiletto high heels, Dior formal trousers with a Versace white shirt, and carrying a Fendi commuter bag like a mobile workplace clothing display cabinet left the clock-in line and came closer to talk.

Huang Zhang responded calmly, "Not bad. I have a lot of time to spare when I get home."

"You have set an example by dedicating your life to the company. Your colleagues must work harder and never slack off."

The Fendi woman smiled and encouraged herself as they walked side by side into the elevator and went upstairs. The male employee in sandals and the female employee playing with their cell phones huddled in a corner and looked at each other, and both curled their lips in disgust.

They are too hardworking and don't fit in with the company. I really don't know why Mr. Huang asked Alibaba to send a working team to the company.

They talk all the time about values, subversion, and pressure. Regardless of anything else, they always show PPT in every meeting. They are all masters of image visualization and public speaking.

In Mr. Ma's meeting, each executive only has three minutes to orally report on the project. If you can't clearly explain what you want to do in three minutes, it means you definitely haven't thought clearly about what you want to do. How can we believe that you can do this project well?

The logic is directly closed, which has overturned the lazy working atmosphere of Meizu and forced employees to study graphic and text visualization skills.

A few days ago, CEO Bai Yongxiang attended a meeting and he had to put together a PPT despite his myopia and presbyopia. He couldn't even speak Mandarin fluently!

"busy?"

The elevator reached the second floor and the door opened, and the employees filed out. Huang Zhang pressed the elevator button and asked.

"Nothing, I'll go to the third floor to talk to the political commissar about work."

The Fendi girl from Alibaba stood there motionless, talking to herself ramblingly: "I worked overtime when I got home last night, and was busy until about three in the morning. I was about to take a break when I saw some discussions about the product on the website forum."

"I felt it was inappropriate, so I checked my address book and found the contact information of the colleague in charge of forum operations and hid the post."

She added lightly, "Mr. Huang, if you have any opinions about the company's products, let's discuss internally and evaluate whether we need to make a public statement. This is the professional work of our team members."

With a whoosh, the elevator door opened and reached the third floor, and the Fendi girl walked away gracefully.

Huang Zhang was so angry that he wanted to chase after him and curse at him, but luckily the elevator door closed in an instant. He took three deep breaths to control his emotions and cursed softly, "idiot."

He stayed up until three in the morning, acted as a police dog patrolling the internet and deleted my posts. What a fucking psychopath!
Last year, Lei Jun watched as the release of that year's new model was delayed due to supply chain issues, and with a malicious intent, he brought out his own low-end product line to save the situation.

The overall product strength is not good, but they keep advocating the "running score theory" of mobile phones. They compared the new Redmi model with Huawei's flagship P8 and Meizu's flagship model MX3 two years ago, and concluded that the Redmi running score is amazing.

Huang Zhang initially ignored the scam and thought it was a joke, but Lei Buqun kept on talking about it like Xianglin Sao, and he couldn't help but post a Weibo in response - those who can check the running score of their mobile phone are smart, but those who only check the running score are losers.

This statement did affect some consumers. He admitted that he acted impulsively but at most his choice of words was inappropriate. Let him be criticized by netizens.

As a result, Alibaba took advantage of the trivial matter and sent a crappy senior public relations team to the company to empower Meizu's brand value.

Give the fucking head!
Huang Zhang strongly opposed it, and the two sides were deadlocked for more than half a month. In the end, Xie Jingxing, who was still holding the position of CEO of Meizu, chose to support Alibaba. The reason was that he had just acted impulsively before scolding Lei Jun...

Without discussing it with anyone, he posted on Weibo that the appearance design of the MX5Pro model is too similar to the Meizu series models, and he plans to cancel the MX5Pro plan and redesign it. The continuity of the similar appearance design of each generation of mobile phones, computers, and cars is an absolute reflection of the brand value, just like Audi will never give up its own design language that has been used for decades to make a replica of Mercedes-Benz.

Meizu focuses on product design, and in this regard it has always been the domestic mobile phone manufacturer with the best product continuity.

However, Huang Zhang felt that the Meizu MX4 was a product that saved the company from disaster. When the situation was not good, he came back to the company and introduced strategic investments from Taihe and Alibaba. The design of this product was already halfway done, and the innovative front screen fingerprint unlocking was almost equivalent to what Xie Jingxing had come up with.

So if the appearance design of MX5Pro is too consistent, how can it demonstrate its product design capabilities? Will the picky Meizu fans think that Meizu lacks design capabilities and that Huang Zhang has run out of ideas and has become less idealistic?
Furthermore, from a marketing perspective, although the configurations, materials and workmanship of the MX5pro and the cheaper Meizu models are different, they look almost the same. Who would buy the expensive one instead of the cheap one?

Huang Zhang felt that he was right. He was not being personal and was being very objective in discussing the matter.

Xie Jingxing thought he was mentally ill. The general public was accustomed to Apple's release of new models every September, while domestic manufacturers were just kneeling and watching the gods fly in the sky. The delay of Xiaomi's new model for half a year was an example.

Meizu put a lot of effort in the year before last and last year, and finally released its new main models in the summer and flagship models in the fall for two consecutive years.

This guy actually publicly clamored to cancel the design plan and redo it before the flagship model was released, not to mention the idiotic ideas such as buying cheap instead of expensive and lack of design capabilities.

As the soul of Meizu, he made a Weibo post to dislike the company's unreleased flagship model. The company's marketing department worked in vain for three months, and the girl in charge of the pre-launch marketing team for MX5pro was so angry that she cried.

After two consecutive impulsive actions, the old incident was brought up again. In view of his outrageous remarks that year in which he scolded users to "get out if you don't like Meizu", Bai Yongxiang and other senior executives all felt powerless and found it difficult to convince themselves to support the chairman.

The Alibaba work team successfully attacked the Meizu headquarters office building in a strange state where the city gate was wide open, Huang Zhang drew his sword to block the way, but there was no one around them.

In the past six months, they have been active in participating in specific businesses. To be fair, this group of people has certain unique qualities. Some of their experience and skills have been verified through trial and error, and they can at least connect to some Alibaba resources.

Huang Zhang has no choice but to endure the disgust and accept it when he usually makes things difficult for ordinary employees and even for senior executives. Now he is getting more and more demanding and wants to shit on him. He is really bullying!

"Tell Yang Yan to come over immediately!"

Huang Zhang slammed the door with a cold face, and his angry shouts echoed in the spacious office of several hundred square meters. The secretary obeyed his orders in silence.

He rushed to his desk and logged into the Meizu website forum using his computer. He used the administrator privileges to unlock last night's post, and then copied the internal landline phone to call the grassroots programmer directly, ordering the removal of the administrator privileges of all internal company accounts except his account.

Also, call the HR department and have them fire the person in charge of website operations immediately. Why is he staying in the company if he likes to work overtime at home until three in the morning?
In addition, the Alibaba team also left. Huang Zhang was about to inform Bai Yongxiang that there would be a meeting in the afternoon when Yang Yan pushed the door open with a puzzled look on his face.

"The Flyme 5.0 version should be changed immediately. This is a piece of shit. How can it appear in a Meizu phone? Do you have any bottom line for your work?"

He scolded her fiercely, and Yang Yan was stunned and angry, speechless for a moment.

Huang Zhang spread his hands and became more and more excited: "Nothing to say, right? Stop all the work on hand, and change the system back to its original state when the users are satisfied, then do other things. Yang Yan, you were not like this before, and I am very disappointed in you now."

"How to change it?" Yang Yan pushed the legs of his glasses and asked expressionlessly.

Huang Zhang's momentum stagnated slightly, his body leaned back and raised his head to examine him: "Are you asking me?"

"If the user says it is what it is, then my job is unnecessary and anyone can change it. The problem with version 5.0 is not on the technical level. I really don't..."

"Do you know who you're talking to?!"

Huang Zhang slammed his fist on the desk and stood up to interrupt, "If it's not a technical problem, then what is the problem? Is it my problem? I can't manage the company anymore. Who has the final say in Meizu?"

"If you can't change it, find someone who can, at least someone who knows the Meizu family name!"

Rage surged into Huang Zhang's brain, and he lost control of his impulse once again, pushing the conversation to a decisive end.

"I'll go back and write my resignation letter now." Yang Yan nodded vigorously and turned away angrily.

All the problems with the system interaction logic in the Flyme 5.0 version update stem from the compromise made on Alibaba Cloud’s construction of the basic mobile phone system.

After launching a batch of Meizu MX5 models equipped with Alibaba Cloud OS during the Double Eleven period last year, Alibaba is still not satisfied and continues to aggressively promote cooperation, trying to cover the entire series and products of Meizu with Alibaba Cloud OS. This has always been the purpose of their strategic investment in Meizu!
Huang Zhang initially thought that his comeback would be a piece of cake, and in front of Xie Jingxing, he had a very pleasant conversation with Ma Yun and they imagined a bright future together.

At that moment, when he found out that this thing couldn't be done, he began to oppose it, but he had already taken Ali's money and even spent it all.

Huang Zhang openly responded to the post last night and claimed that he had nothing to say. So what could Yang Yan, who was in charge of the specific execution of product development, say? He could only stretch his neck and put his face close to the boss to let him slap him lightly, and then put on a shameless smile to make a big thing a small thing.

Isn't that enough? (End of this chapter)
