My Age of Investment

In the next few days, an article titled "Wisdom Fruit Blocks WeChat" was suddenly posted on Weifeng.com, and quickly attracted the attention of the majority of fruit fans.

That’s right, it’s a fruit fan!

Although Fuxing mobile phones have achieved world-renowned achievements in this time and space, and are not inferior to iPhone in terms of performance and appearance design, they still cannot influence every consumer's choice.

Since entering China last year, Wisdom Fruit has sold more than one million mobile phones through its partner China Unicom.

There are millions of users behind millions of mobile phones, and most of them are actually not very good at using smart phones. They just like their American brands.

Therefore, Weifeng.com, China's largest iPhone community, stepped forward to provide a platform for iPhone enthusiasts to communicate, discuss and learn freely.

This Internet community was established on the second day of the product launch of the first-generation iPhone, and it has been three years now.

In the first two years, the website has been developing tepidly, because the positioning is relatively niche, and Smart Fruit has not officially entered the Chinese market at that time. The mobile phones flowing into the Chinese market are basically parallel imports from Hong Kong Island, and the quantity is not large. , naturally not many people visit Weifeng.com.

At the same time, Weifeng.com cannot compete with a group of communities and small websites, led by Fuxing Mall and Android.com, that discuss Fuxing mobile phones and Android phones.

But since last year, Weifeng.com has been on the rise. Thanks to the cooperation between Smart Fruit and China Unicom, there are more and more iPhone users in China. With this shareholder trend, Weifeng.com has become a gathering place for millions of Apple fans. , and is also the public spokesperson of Wisdom Fruit China Company.

Today, Weifeng.com is no longer the small website that compiled several Chinese-language software such as the iPhone input method.

Not only did it successfully obtain angel investment from Shanda Games at the beginning of this year, it also expanded its product service lines, such as translating and publishing the latest news and information about foreign smart fruit companies, and providing website users with movies, music, software, wallpapers, iPhone resource download platform such as themes, etc., and even cooperated with Wisdom Fruit to actively develop various iOS applications and free games suitable for Chinese people. This year, it even launched the development slogan of "Building a Wisdom Fruit Portal that users like".

From the perspective of Wisdom Fruit users, an iPhone community website that answers their questions, teaches them how to use the iPhone correctly, and provides various Chinese software is undoubtedly excellent.

But from Lin Bing's point of view, he hates Weifeng.com, the "leading party", with all his heart!

Because Fuxing Mobile has paid equal attention to the Chinese and international markets since its release, it has also developed various Chinese-style applications in line with the usage habits of Chinese users.

In other words, although the appearance design of Fuxing mobile phones sold domestically and those sold abroad are exactly the same, there are many differences in the mobile phone interface and applications. Lin Bing and his team have worked hard for this. A lot of research and various optimization work were carried out.

As a result, Weifeng.com directly "stole" the work results of Fuxing Mobile, imitated Fuxing Mobile's applications, and developed many special applications and games for the iPhone that are adapted to the Chinese market.

As a result, Fuxing Mobile's competitive advantage in the local market has been wiped out, and many obstacles have been cleared for Smart Fruit to enter China.

Lin Bing once contacted Yang Bin, the founder of Weifeng.com, under the guise of Vision Capital, intending to spend some money to recruit this guy so that he would stop causing damage.

As a result, Yang Bin rejected the investment and acquisition requests from Vision Capital and insisted on contributing to the development and construction of Wisdom Fruit in China.

If we can't be friends, we can only be enemies.

…………

…………

Pengcheng.

Nanshan District.

Yang Bin, an entrepreneurial young man born in the 1980s, came to the company early in the morning. As soon as he sat down in the office, a subordinate knocked on the door and came in, bringing him some bad news.

"Wisdom Fruit blocks WeChat?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Bin hurriedly logged into Wei Feng, the iPhone portal he founded.

Not much different from those small workshop-style websites, the UI design and website layout of Weifeng.com are also messy.

But after all, it was a website he founded by himself. Yang Bin was extremely familiar with it, and he quickly found the "provocative" article in the "Forum" channel.

The article was published last night, and it has been almost ten hours now. It has received tens of thousands of views and thousands of comments and replies.

Although he was a little anxious, Yang Bin still read the entire article patiently.

“…according to reliable sources, Zhizhiguo is determined to block WeChat this time.

Zhang Dalong's team has communicated with the Wisdom Fruit China team seven or eight times, but each time they were sent back to wait for news from the Wisdom Fruit people.

Now the Android version of WeChat has been launched for more than ten days, and it is said that the number of users has exceeded 10 million.

But the iOS version of WeChat is still far away!

All my friends around me are using Fuxing mobile phones, just like what Zhang Dalong and Xia Jingxing demonstrated at the press conference. no……"

The more Yang Bin read, the more he frowned. This was clearly an article attacking and discrediting Wisdom Fruit.

Although the language of the whole article is simple, it explains various inconveniences from the perspective of an ordinary Smartphone user. It does not obviously praise the Fuxing phone, nor does it disparage the Smartphone, but as long as you read it carefully, anyone can feel the wisdom. If the mobile phone is not trendy and convenient enough - for example, the whole company is chatting on WeChat and uses WeChat group chat to discuss work, but I can't join in. This is so unsocial!

Yang Bin quickly slides the mouse to continue reading this post.

The good comments are all urging this user to be patient. The iOS version of WeChat will be launched soon. Wisdom Fruit Company will not fail to see the popularity of WeChat and choose to go against the trend.

The bad comments directly began to persuade this user to change his mobile phone. He also gave an example that he had already changed to a Fuxing mobile phone. The Fuxing FX3 is thinner and lighter than the iPhone 4, and it is not easy to break the back cover of the phone...

Seeing this, Yang Bin's eyebrows almost knitted together. He was suddenly worried about the development of Wisdom Fruit in China.

He shouldn't worry, because Weifeng.com is positioned as the iPhone portal, and Wisdom Fruit is like a grasshopper on a rope, both prospering and losing.

Speaking of which, the first-generation Fuxing mobile phone was released just a few days earlier than the first-generation iPhone. Originally, Yang Bin had thought about launching a website to serve Android and Fuxing mobile phones, but someone like Fuxing Mall was ahead of him, so he could only find another way. Choose to bet on wisdom fruit.

Soon, Yang Bin's frowning eyebrows gradually relaxed, because the die-hard fruit fans had arrived, and their words were sharper than the last.

"The trolls who revived the mobile phone have completed the appraisal!"

"Shit's Fuxing Phone, I love using the wisdom fruit. If you don't accept it, why don't you bite me?"

“I don’t understand why so many people tout the revival of mobile phones and equate it with patriotism! Use your brains to think about it and you will know that Smart Fruit is better. They are a real Silicon Valley company. Renaissance mobile phones, haha, first put Android Let’s talk about it after the system is smooth!”

…

Looking at the noisy comment section, Yang Bin showed a smile. With the support of so many die-hard fruit fans, Wisdom Fruit's empire is destined to be immortal, and Weifeng.com no longer has to worry about running out of food.

However, having such an article on the homepage of the Weifeng.com forum is indeed an eyesore.

After all, Weifeng.com is also Wisdom Fruit's partner in China. He himself was also received by Cook when he visited China. How can we tolerate a sailor being so presumptuous here!

Thinking of this, Yang Bin immediately ordered his subordinates: "Go ahead and delete this post quickly!

"Ah? Delete it?"

The subordinate Ducai reminded: "Mr. Yang, Weifeng.com advertises itself as a platform for free communication, discussion and learning!"

Looking at the young man in front of him who had just walked out of school, Yang Bin shook his head and laughed, "It was written specifically for users, do you really believe it? Is there any online platform with true freedom of speech in this world?"

"Oh, okay, I'll arrange to delete the post right away."

"Go ahead and act quickly, otherwise the number of views and comments will double later, which is not good for Wisdom Fruit, nor is it good for us."

Yang Bin waved his hand, dismissed his subordinates, and then started today's work. Obviously, he didn't take this little matter too seriously.
