Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 651: Evaluation agencies also want to make trouble

The next day at work, Zhou Jing handed over several mass-produced versions of Ideal 1s that he brought from Tangdu to the smartphone R&D department of Chuangzhi Technology, allowing them to experience the new phone first.

"First, keep it confidential."

Zhou Jing said to the R&D staff.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou."

The staff in the smartphone R&D department couldn't wait to disassemble the phone. The soul of the phone comes from them, and they are very eager to know how the Ideal 1s performs.

"We can start planning the software system for the Light Enjoyment series. The Light Enjoyment series is priced at around 2,000 yuan, and we need to make sure it has a sense of hierarchy compared to the Ideal Series and Pure Enjoyment Series."

Zhou Jing said to the R&D staff.

Li Jianwei said, "We are planning to make a major upgrade based on the Imagine series software system. What do you think, Mr. Zhou?"

"Okay, let's do it this way. The Light Enjoy series is planned to be launched in the second half of 14, and the Pure Enjoy series will be launched in 15. After the Light Enjoy series software system is almost developed, we will make the Pure Enjoy series system based on the Ideal series."

One or two years passed quickly, and Zhou Jing put both the Light Enjoyment series and the Pure Enjoyment series on the agenda.

According to Zhou Jing's initial plan, after the Pure Enjoy series, which is priced at around 16 yuan, is launched, the Ideal series will be renamed Ideal G to impact the high-end market. At the same time, the Ideal series will be differentiated into the Ideal P series to impact the high-end imaging market, which is in 17 and . If all goes well, Ideal Technology's self-developed Tianji chip will be released at that time. Using self-developed chips to impact the high-end market is the development route Zhou Jing expects.

"After the Light Enjoy series software system is planned, you can go to Tangdu and discuss mobile phone development with the R&D team at Ideal Technology."

Zhou Jing added before leaving the R&D department.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, we will come up with the plan as soon as possible."

Li Jianwei watched his boss leave the office.

After leaving the R&D department, Zhou Jing went to the lithography machine control system project office. In the project office, the R&D personnel were all busy working, studying the lithography machine simulation system on the computer. The control system is one of the key technologies of the lithography machine, and it is definitely not an easy task to research it. Although Zhou Jing has recruited many engineers and high-end talents in related fields, the R&D progress is also very slow.

"Mr. Zhou."

The project director of the lithography machine control system handed Zhou Jing the interim research report after disassembling the lithography machine.

Zhou Jing took the report and flipped through it. The project team disassembled the lithography machine very clearly, and the research after disassembly also made some progress. Zhou Jing knew that this project would require years of technology and experience accumulation, so he did not rush them.

“Campus recruitment plans for March and April.”

When Zhou Jing returned to the office, Gu Jia put the campus recruitment plan of Chuangzhi Technology for March and April on the table.

“Pay attention to the quality of personnel.”

Zhou Jing took a rough look at the campus recruitment plan, which plans to recruit more than 985 people, with a minimum academic requirement of a undergraduate degree. Because the positions being recruited are all R&D positions, they are mainly to expand talent for the lithography machine control system project team, chip design and other R&D departments. Not only are they required to have high personal abilities, but they must also be able to endure loneliness.

"The interviewers will be arranged by each project team."

Gu Jia attaches great importance to the company's recruitment work. Today, Chuangzhi Technology is different from the past two years. In the past two years, students from less famous universities might not look up to Chuangzhi Technology. Now, Chuangzhi Technology is one of the best software companies in Zhongguancun, with strength, good benefits, and humane management. Many people want to join Chuangzhi Technology.

"Sure." Zhou Jing patted Gu Jia's butt and said with a smile, "Does it feel good to pat your butt?"

"It's quite comfortable. Are you comfortable?"

Gu Jia touched the boy's head. Being patted on the butt by a boy always made her happy.

"It's more comfortable to pinch it."

Zhou Jing pinched Gu Jia's buttocks and said.

"Boys' hands are so itchy?"

Gu Jia is wearing blue skinny jeans at this time. The tight jeans make her long legs look longer and straighter, and her hips and crotch are well set off. Today, Gu Jia is wearing a pair of high heels, which makes her look taller and her figure looks very contoured and three-dimensional.

"It's the same with girls. You always touch my head. Boys don't like to be touched on the head."

Zhou Jing didn't mind Gu Jia touching his head, just like he touched Gu Jia's butt, it was a form of physical communication between close people and could enhance intimacy between each other.

"Why don't boys like to be touched on the head? Are they afraid that their hairstyle will be ruined?"

Gu Jia smiled and touched Zhou Jing's head again and said.

"Some people are more concerned about their hairstyle, while others find it offensive when someone touches their head."

Zhou Jing grabbed Gu Jia's hand and said.

Gu Jia looked down at her figure and said, "You are quite good at choosing clothes. This pair of jeans really shows off your figure."

"Because you have model proportions."

Zhou Jing is not very good at picking clothes for himself, but he is very good at picking clothes for girls and has a very good aesthetic sense.

"You're really good at praising people."

Gu Jia half-sat at the desk, tucked her hair and said.

At noon, Gu Jia went home for lunch while Zhou Jing was working overtime at the company. Gu Jia ate at home and brought lunch to Zhou Jing. After lunch, Zhou Jing went to Xingguang Game Technology to check out the specific circumstances of the game being reported.

Qin Zhengyu is doing public relations to make up for it. At the same time, Starlight Game is investigating the source of the news that blackened Starlight Game's games. The news came from some specialized water army companies. Zhou Jing doesn't mean it, as it's not uncommon in the industry. Ideal Mobile and P Station have experienced many hacking incidents. In the past, they only brought some public opinion to the company, and it was over. Zhou Jing would not get to the bottom of it. This time, the company's games were damaged, and Zhou Jing decided not to tolerate it anymore.

Now that we know the source of the negative articles, the next step is to find out which company bought them. This kind of thing is not difficult to find out by spending some money.

Zhou Jing owns a P station. Once he knows which of his peers is causing trouble, P station will come into play.

The number of downloads of P站 has exceeded 100 million, with more than 15 million daily active users and more than 50 million weekly active users. Among young people, P站's popularity far exceeds that of WB. If it comes to playing with public opinion, Zhou Jing wants to see which competitor can win.

"Should we be more conservative when designing the King's Summoning skin? There is also a mobile version of the King's Summoning."

Qin Zhengyu was also worried that the King's Summoning would be messed up.

"It's okay to have a similar scale. There's no need to be too conservative."

As a game enthusiast, Zhou Jing knows the appeal of the game. The male heroes in King's Summoning just need to be designed according to their characteristics, and the female heroes must be attractive. "Okay, I get it."

With the boss's support, Qin Zhengyu was not afraid to take action.

Xingguang Youke has produced more than 20 games of various sizes, among which games such as King Call, Happy Elimination, Everyday Run, Rhythm Master, and Happy Landlord are at the top of the game hot list.

Call of Kings is one of the most popular PC games at the moment. The number of domestic players exceeds that of League of Legends and many old games. This month, it has reached the top of the PC game popularity list, showing a trend of catching up with the latecomers.

Happy Elimination is still the number one on the mobile game list, followed by Cool Run Everyday, and Rhythm Master is in the top ten. The Landlord mobile game, love simulation mobile game, and dress-up mobile game produced by Starlight Games are all very popular. It is no exaggeration to say that Starlight Games dominates most of the mobile game track, and it is no wonder that others are jealous.

After separating from Chuangzhi Technology, Star Games has developed rapidly. If it continues like this, it will become the largest game company in China sooner or later.

Games are inseparable from graphics cards. Zhou Jing asked Jinlin Capital to acquire a graphics card company to promote graphics card research and development through games.

It was almost time to get off work when Zhou Jing came out of the game company. He went to Chuangzhi Technology to pick up Gu Jia. Instead of returning to the company, he parked his car on the side of the road waiting for Gu Jia. After a while, Gu Jia, wearing a sweater and tight jeans, came out of the park. She walked towards the car with her long legs and elegant steps, opened the door, bent down, got in with her butt first, and then got in with her body.

“It’s so comfortable to get off work on time and be picked up by the boss personally.”

Gu Jia fastened her seat belt and said with a smile.

"Let you be the boss."

Zhou Jing touched Gu Jia's leg, stepped on the accelerator and started off.

"My company is not far from bankruptcy. How are things with the game company?"

Gu Jia knows his own abilities. He is OK as an assistant, but he is not cut out to be a boss.

"Nothing, no need to modify it."

Zhou Jing didn't take it seriously at all. It was just a mobile game, not a big deal, and it was an inconspicuous game from Starlight Games. It was estimated that the competitors were also testing Zhou Jing's temper and didn't dare to bring up the popular games from Starlight Games.

After dinner, Bai Xiyao called Zhou Jing and said that Wang Ziru’s mobile phone review organization wanted to become the third-party reviewer of Ideal Mobile Phone. To put it bluntly, they knew that Ideal 1 and Changxiang 1s would be launched soon and wanted to rob some money. They even wanted to make Ideal Mobile Phone a long-term customer and pay for good reviews.

"Before contacting us, ZEALER posted a post saying that Ideal 1s and Changxiang 1s have the same configuration as the second half of last year. The Ideal 1s and Changxiang 1s will be released in April at last year's pricing, with low configuration and high price. It sounds a bit threatening."

Bai Xiyao found it ridiculous that a small review agency was playing this trick with Ideal Technology.

"If he had a peanut, he wouldn't drink so much. He should be taught a lesson."

Zhou Jing was so angry that he laughed. He really thought he was a soft persimmon.

When Ideal smartphones were launched last year, Zhou Jing didn't want to cause any trouble, so he asked Ideal Technology to give ZEALER two million yuan to participate in the testing of Ideal 1 and Changxiang 1. The two million did not buy completely good reviews, but they were more objective. This year, Zhou Jing didn't want to indulge the other party.

If we continue to tolerate such evaluation agencies, they will only become more and more demanding and their appetite will get bigger and bigger. They made a profit of two million from Ideal Technology last year, but two million will definitely not be enough this time.

So Zhou Jing told Bai's best friend to ignore her. Bai Xiyao asked someone inside the ZEALER review agency to collect the inside information about Wang's reviews. In order to prevent Wang from doing something desperate, Zhou Jing prepared to strike first and give Wang a small warning. He sent the double-standard review information about Wang that Bai Xiyao had collected to Qin Zhengyu.

Qin Zhengyu knew what to do. He sent the information to the P station operation team and created a few accounts to publish and promote it.

The work efficiency at P Station was very fast. That night, the post about ZEALER using the name of mobile phone evaluation to make mobile phone manufacturers pay for good reviews became a hot topic. It was even forwarded to the WB digital circle. With the help of some mobile phone manufacturers, the matter quickly fermented into a hot topic in the digital circle.

Mobile phone manufacturers are aware of the inside story of the mobile phone review circle, and people in the industry are well aware of it, but most mobile phone manufacturers are helpless, especially small brands.

It doesn't matter if big brands like Apple and Samsung have strong brand power and market position, and it's impossible to criticize them. Many people complain about Apple's small screen, but it doesn't affect Apple's top sales at all. These big companies are not short of money, so it's nothing to spend a tiny amount of money to let influential reviewers or review agencies praise them.

Small factories don’t have it so easy. Their sales are already poor and their brand power is insufficient. They cannot withstand any criticism, so they can only spend some money to buy a good review.

Ideal smartphones have good brand power and sales volume nowadays. Spending several million or tens of millions to get a positive review from a so-called authoritative reviewer will do more good than harm. However, Zhou Jing can't stand the humiliation. Every brand has advantages and disadvantages. It is enough for reviewers to give an objective review. It is too despicable to do a double-edged review.

Ideal Technology has suffered enough from May last year to this year, and now the evaluation agencies are still trying to rob it.

The revelations of P Station were well-founded, and Wang soon became anxious. Knowing that the boss behind P Station was the boss of Ideal Technology, he realized that he had hit a wall, so he contacted P Station as soon as possible to delete the post and settle the matter, and promised not to say anything about any Ideal product again.

Zhou Jing stopped at the right time and asked P station to delete the post, but other websites were not under Zhou Jing's control. Many people hated biased reviews and would not let them go easily if they had the chance to rectify them. Not only mobile phone manufacturers, but also review agencies and reviewers in the same field wanted to deal with ZEALER. Those in the same field were even more ruthless and wished to kill their opponents.

Ideal's new phone has already started mass production and will be launched on the market soon. Zhou Jing just took advantage of this incident with the ZEALER review agency to establish his authority and let competitors know that Ideal Technology is not without temper and that spoofs should be stopped when appropriate.

“Has Ideal Technology’s legal department ever played a role?”

Gu Jia sat at her desk and spoke while reading the comments in the digital circle.

"Yes, we have prosecuted two bloggers. The punishment in this regard is too light."

Ideal Technology's legal department will sue bloggers who defame its own products. It will be useless even if they win the lawsuit, as the compensation is not enough to cover the cost of the lawsuit.

"Some people have no conscience at all for the sake of money. Xiaomi's sales in February were good, exceeding one million units. Xiaomi has invested a lot of traffic on Pornhub, and it seems the effect is not bad."

Bai Xiyao saw a post summarizing the sales of domestic mobile phone manufacturers in February.

"LJ's marketing is very powerful. If it weren't for the emergence of Ideal Mobile, Xiaomi would be the second largest domestic smartphone manufacturer."

Zhou Jing smiled and said.

Gu Jia said: "Indeed, marketing is a very profound subject."

[Finally I got rid of my anger. Those review agencies were too arrogant.]

Bai Xiyao finally got to release the anger she had been accumulating for several months.

[This is the benefit of taking the initiative in public opinion. You can turn black into white, and white into black. During this period of time, we should publicize the software system optimization of Ideal 1s and Changxiang 1s.]

Zhou Jing replied to Bai's best friend while talking to Gu Jia.

The post by ZEALER reminded Zhou Jing that the main hardware configurations of Ideal 1s and Imagine 1s are indeed at the level of the second half of last year. The pricing is indeed not low based on the hardware level alone. However, Ideal smartphones have never been an advantage in terms of stacking materials from the beginning. The software system and software and hardware tuning are the killer features of Ideal smartphones. With the same hardware configuration, the actual experience of Ideal smartphones is not comparable to that of domestic competitors.

Wang Sicong made an appointment to visit Xingguang Tourism Science and Technology on March 10th. Soon the day came and Zhou Jing happened to be in BJ, so he went to Xingguang Tourism Science and Technology in person to receive him.
