This is indeed true, but if you want to sue the other party, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort. And it will also take a long time. Obviously Wu Hao and the others cannot wait such a long time.
In fact, he had already thought about this issue due to the previous friction with Fruit. Their rise will inevitably touch the interests of some companies, which is inevitable.
It's just that this is a secret rivalry at the moment and has not been made public. Once their expansion speed threatens these enterprises, I am afraid they will not be able to help but take action.
Seeing Zhang Jun's worried look, Wu Hao smiled and waved his hand: "You don't have to worry too much, I'm just giving you an example.
The Android system is no different than the OS system. It is open source and open, which means that it is difficult for them to ban us.
If they really want to do this, it will not only damage their reputation, but also affect the experience of using their mobile phones.
More importantly, it’s not that we don’t have countermeasures, it’s just that the cost is a little high.”
"What price?" Zhang Jun asked.
Wu Hao said with a smile: "The reason why these mobile phone manufacturers dare not touch us is that they are actually a little afraid of us.
They are afraid that once we are pushed into a hurry, we will probably fall into the arms of other mobile phone manufacturers, directly abandon the product, and directly launch related smart voice assistant applications, which will be a huge blow to them.
However, as a result, our product sales will suffer a huge blow, and we will only be able to make profits through software services and advertising in the future.
This is why so many mobile phone manufacturers came to seek cooperation, but the reason why I did not agree is to maintain a balance."
After hearing his words, Zhang Jun still looked worried: "It's okay to maintain such a balance now, but when our next-generation products come out, I'm afraid these mobile phone manufacturers really won't be able to sit still."
"Boil the frog in warm water, take your time. Let's try to slow down the whole process so that their reaction will not be too intense." Wu Hao said with a smile.
Zhang Jun nodded. After thinking for a while, he looked up and said, "In that case, will we still release this news and new products?"
"Send it, of course. You can't do it just because you're afraid of irritating the other person." Wu Hao waved his hand and said firmly.
Originally, Wu Hao and the others planned to release some autumn surprises to the market in September and October this year to repay consumers for their support.
Now that we have achieved this result, we should just put it together as a response to the outside world.
"I understand." Zhang Jun nodded.
Under Zhang Jun's arrangement, this news was quickly released to the outside world through the official website, Weibo, and smart voice assistant push services.
"As of 2:11 this afternoon, the total sales of our smart voice assistants on various platforms have exceeded 15 million units.
In order to thank consumers for their support and love for our products, we will fulfill our previous commitments and provide celebrity voice customization services to our users.
We have cooperated with ten popular idol stars who are currently popular, and now launch a celebrity voice crowdfunding campaign.
If you like the voice of a celebrity, vote now for your favorite celebrity's crowdfunding.
Which celebrity's crowdfunding voting funds exceed 10 million, we will launch the star's voice pack. All users who participate in the crowdfunding vote will receive the right to use the star's voice pack for one month after the event.
"
That's right, this is the celebrity customized voice service launched by Wu Hao and others. By cooperating with these popular idol stars, they will launch voice packages that simulate celebrity accents to meet the needs of users, especially fans.
This is a win-win cooperation. Celebrities can not only expand their influence, but also get a considerable marketing share of their personal voice packages.
Wu Hao and others also use the influence of these celebrities to further promote their products. Moreover, this customized voice package itself is also charged, and users must pay the relevant fees every month if they want to use it.
Even if the monthly usage fee for each voice package is only ten yuan, then 15 million users will earn up to 150 million in revenue every month.
Of course, this is just an ideal number. After all, there are still a small number of users who like this kind of exclusive voice package. And these usage fees are not all theirs, but also the 20-30% share of the celebrities.
So when they went to these celebrity management companies to cooperate, the other parties quickly agreed after learning the details of the cooperation. After all, it is not easy for these economic companies to promote a popular idol star.
Therefore, these agencies are taking advantage of the period when these idol stars are becoming popular to extract the maximum value from them. Compared with advertising endorsements, this kind of sharing cooperation is more attractive.
After all, the fan economy is also an important source of revenue for these people.
And it doesn’t take too much effort. It only requires popular idol stars to wear Wu Hao’s specially developed smart voice assistant for a period of time.
These special intelligent voice assistants will record the celebrities' daily speaking habits and related timbres, and automatically calculate and simulate the stars' timbres, with a similarity of up to 98%.
In fact, this similarity can be improved, but it was artificially controlled by Wu Hao at 98% in order to avoid unnecessary problems.
To ordinary people, there is actually no difference between 100% and 98%. Only professionals with sensitive hearing, or specially trained professionals, and related equipment can identify which voices are real people and which are simulated voices.
In addition, all voice packages previously launched by Wu Hao and others have also adopted this method. The reason for this is mainly to help relevant departments and smart voice assistant users to identify which voices are real people and which are simulated voices.
After all, if this kind of intelligent voice system could 100% simulate the voice of a real person, it would be terrible for the world, and the social trust system established by people would probably collapse.
This is something Wu Hao does not want to see, and it is something that society and the country will never allow.
The reason why this crowdfunding method is used for paid voting is mainly to prevent trolls from swiping votes. To know how popular these so-called popular idol stars are, I am afraid only the agency itself knows.
Wu Hao didn't want the people he hired to end up with only a few hundred or a few thousand fans, and the rest were all trolls.
With this kind of paid voting, even if you want to swipe orders, you have to spend money. Although the number of 10 million is not much, it is still a lot, which is almost enough for them to pay for their hard work.
Even if there are very few users who order in the end, it will not be a waste of time.
