Chapter 115: Encountering sexual blackmail by gangsters
Since the New Year, Yang Fan and the rest of his scientific research team have been staying in Yangcheng, continuing the research and development of intelligent unmanned warehousing with Yuan Siming and his scientific research team.
After nearly half a year of research and development, good news finally came. The first truly intelligent unmanned warehousing system developed by Albatross Logistics has been successfully developed.
After many internal tests, the entire intelligent unmanned warehousing system performed very well in all aspects. Therefore, the R&D team decided to put this intelligent unmanned warehousing system into trial operation and undertake the sorting and logistics tasks of this year’s 618 Shopping Festival to further further
Test the performance of this system.
As an intelligent unmanned warehousing system built with a lot of money, it has received a lot of attention from the top and bottom of ali. Therefore, news came from Albatross Logistics that Mr. Ma, the head of ali, will invite relevant leaders and media to participate on June 10th.
The ribbon-cutting and operation ceremony of this intelligent unmanned warehousing system.
As the only shareholder and important partner of Albatross, as well as the developer of cluster array control technology, Wu Hao is also on this guest invitation list, and he is also ranked among the top.
In the past, it didn't matter whether he attended or not, but now who made him famous? If he didn't attend, there would definitely be some bad noise. And as the developer of cluster array control technology, if he didn't attend, he would be
Some of it is unreasonable.
What's more, Yang Fan and other technical staff of the scientific research team are still there. As the leader of the company, when the project achieves major achievements, he has to go to express his condolences.
"I have only been here for a few days. The company is operating normally as before. If you have any doubts, you can contact me at any time."
Wu Hao told everyone: "We must do a good job in marketing 618 this time. The discount rate can be slightly larger. Seizing the market is our current top priority."
"I think the 20% discount is enough. In this kind of shopping festival, there are really not many new products with such a big discount." Zhang Jun said with some distress.
Taking the basic version as an example, a 20% discount on one model means a discount of more than 300. So one hundred units is 30,000, and 10,000 units is three million.
If calculated based on one million units, then their discount amount would reach 300 million. It is no wonder that Zhang Jun has a look of pain on his face.
Seeing Zhang Jun's reluctant look, Wu Hao smiled and comforted: "Okay, don't settle these small accounts, look at it in the long run.
Spending 300 million to add one million users may seem like a loss, but you have to think about our follow-up related value-added services. Even if 100,000 of these million people choose our value-added services, it will definitely be a loss.
Very objective figures.”
"Mr. Wu is right, our current primary goal is to expand market share. As long as we have a say in the market, whoever enters this industry in the future will have to look at us.
What's more, if we have a huge user base, this in itself is a valuable resource. Even if we do nothing, there will be people rushing to send money to our door." Dong Yiming continued his words.
Zhang Jun nodded and said with a regretful expression: "I know, I just feel a little distressed."
"Look at it, compared to the little money we make, it's nothing." Wu Hao comforted with a smile, and then changed the subject: "How is the discussion with the fruit, this problem is not solved
If so, it will still have a great impact on our marketing.”
These days, Zhang Jun has been negotiating with fruit representatives, and the whole process can be said to be very difficult and tortuous.
Guoguo relied on its huge advantages to exert constant pressure in the negotiations. In order to seek to acquire their company and related technologies, the other party made various threats and secret actors. They just wanted to make them submit, and in the end they were forced to hand over their technology.
But Zhang Jun still withstood the pressure, argued with reason, and finally brought the arrogant fruit back into normal negotiations.
Guoguo also knew that it was basically impossible to get this company with a military background to hand over technology. And at this time, they also received relevant information that Haoyu Technology was already planning to cooperate with the military.
This means that they have no chance at all.
Since they can't get the technology, they can only seek cooperation. But in the face of Haoyu Technology's unenthusiastic attitude towards cooperation with fruits, they can only adjust their strategies to make as much profit as possible.
And at the beginning, the lion opened its mouth, demanding that Haoyu Technology must pay an information security deposit of up to 32 million U.S. dollars to Fruit. And Fruit users must use their payment software to purchase goods in the smart voice assistant service mall, and each time
A 30% service fee will be charged for each piece of product fruit.
Otherwise, the management APP installed by the smart voice assistant in the fruit phone will be listed as an unknown risk program and may be forced to be uninstalled.
Moreover, various service APPs connected to the smart voice assistant may also be blocked, which will greatly affect the user experience of the smart voice assistant.
Faced with the other party's ugly face and naked extortion, Zhang Jun was so angry that he directly posted the cunning list of fruits on the Internet, saying that he would never compromise.
Taking advantage of the hot topic of smart voice assistants and involving fruits, this news immediately aroused the attention of netizens and quickly spread.
Especially after learning about the process of fruit extortion, netizens became indignant and began to criticize fruit verbally and writtenly. Some app developers who had been subjected to fruit extortion before also complained online about their past experiences.
This also attracted the attention of official departments. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology directly issued a document stating that the interests of domestic enterprises will never be allowed to be illegally infringed, and they immediately interviewed the person in charge of the domestic fruit industry.
After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Guoguo quickly launched crisis public relations in the hope of suppressing the matter, but the effect was not ideal.
After careful analysis, Guoguo finally realized that the root cause of this matter still lies with Haoyu Technology. If this problem is not solved, it will be impossible to calm down this incident.
Especially at this special stage, if this matter is not handled well, the domestic market of other fruits may be affected.
So the fruit business negotiation team came again, much more luxurious than last time, and their attitude also changed 180 degrees.
Despite this, the two parties still had great differences on the issue of related service fees, which caused the negotiations to reach a deadlock.
