the world is at stake

The place started as a black market for rare electronics after World War II.As its influence expanded, it gradually became a symbol and became the distribution center for the latest and most fashionable electronic technology products in Japan.

Judging from the street view, there is not much difference between Akihabara and Zhongguancun and Huaqiangbei, and it is even more chaotic.Large posters and display screens are hung on the buildings on the street, and iPhone advertisements performed by celebrities are being played repeatedly.

"An iPhone is the best Valentine's Day gift ever."

This commercial, performed by many popular stars, has been broadcast countless times on Japanese TV recently-the advertising costs of Japanese stars, especially female stars, are very cheap.

Uncle Zhou recruited more than a dozen beautiful actresses who were popular but not yet popular to sign as endorsements.

Today is Friday, and a bunch of young social animals don't go to work at all. They asked for leave and went to line up in front of the "Shengguang" store in Tokyo, waiting to buy an unlocked version of the iPhone.

The 'Sacred Light' store in Akihabara opens at six o'clock in the morning.The queue outside the door was already two to three hundred meters long. Some people came last night and waited on the side of the road with Maza all night.

After the store door was opened, the clerk of the specialty store came out in uniform, bowed to the buyers waiting outside to apologize, and asked them to enter in order.

More than a dozen media outlets stood outside the store, snapping pictures of the scene and interviewing the buyers who lined up.

Although the queue was long, the order was good.Only ten people are let in at a time, and according to the information registered in the appointment, they pay for and buy iPhones in various small bags.

Most of the people who come to buy are young people, and many of them are couples in teams.After buying the mobile phone, they can't help opening the package on the spot, unpacking the bag and putting the card, and then cheering in surprise.

The smooth sliding experience makes every buyer very satisfied.Its camera, playback, Internet and many other functions give customers an excellent experience.

The store has staff from Japanese telecom operators to help with 3G packages.This is a must-have standard configuration for buyers, which greatly strengthens the promotion of 3G networks in Japan.

Carriers are also happy with this.

Looking at the young people leaving with a smile, Miura across the street was both relieved and a little bit disappointed.In order for the iPhone to be sold publicly in Japan, he had to use some means to make some political old-fashioned die early.

Before doing it, Miura felt that those big men from political families were very dignified and couldn't move; after doing it, he just felt good and experienced Zhou Qingfeng's joy of swinging an iron hammer in the country.

If the action is done in a more secretive way, no one will suspect Miura of this kind of thing.Even the first reaction of the 'Brotherhood' was that Zhou Qingfeng did it himself.Because Miura quit, the grumpy president would really come.

"It feels good to be blamed." Miura was quite happy.

Although Zhou Qingfeng is fierce, brutal and unreasonable, he is not stingy with his 'friends' who can help make money.Every time the young people in the queue buy an iPhone, Miura can make a fortune from it.

Considering the strong consumption power of Japan's more than 1 million people, Miura is eager to buy as many people as possible.

Correspondingly, the European and American mobile phone brands represented by Nokia have suffered a blow to dimensionality reduction—the price of many feature phones is higher than that of the iPhone, and ghosts want to buy them.

Before the "Holy Light" took off, if someone said that these former mobile phone giants would encounter "Waterloo" or even withdraw from the mobile phone market in a few years, no one would believe it.

but now……

Just near the 'Shengguang' store, there are stores of other mobile phone manufacturers, including Japanese products such as Sharp.Their gates used to be considered lively, but after the beginning of the year, they became deserted.

Believe it or not.

"Times have changed, really times have changed."

Miura Wuxin continued to stay in front of the store, hailed a taxi and left.He took out his iPhone in the car, looked at the icons of the first few apps and smiled wryly.

The poor sales of the first 'Apple' iPhone had its inherent flaws.For example, there are too few mobile phone applications, and office software alone is not enough to give consumers a shocking psychological impact.

The 'Sacred Light' iPhone learned a lesson and enriched the APP as much as possible—in fact, it still copied it, simplified some mature mobile phone software, and adapted it to the mobile phone hardware.

The 'intelligence' of a smart machine is reflected in the content-rich software.What really beats feature phones is the wide variety of apps.

Pre-installed mobile phone software has inherent advantages to seize the market.Such as search engines, such as instant chat, such as selfie sharing, such as social networking, and even hook-up software.

'Sacred Light' thoughtfully provided the 'compensated dating' software to Japanese users, and provided 'sugar daddy' services to European and American users.As long as you pay, you can have anything you want.

A whole set of mobile Internet ecological environment is built in the 'Sacred Light' iPhone.Customers register with their mobile phone numbers, get nicknames, write notes, and then start exploring the magical mobile Internet.

It is definitely more user sticky than the desktop Internet.

There are Japanese versions of apps such as WeChat and Weibo on Miura's mobile phone. After registration, he can start surfing the Internet anytime, anywhere.

Every iPhone user will click on it casually, and immediately become a user of the Internet products of 'Holy Light'.

One by one, the fat sheep walked into the sheepfold automatically.

What's hateful is that 'Holy Light' uses the Android system but locks the development interface. Its software ecology is already rich enough, and it doesn't plan to let outsiders come in for a share of the pie.

"Damn monopoly."

Miura sighed: "'Sacred Light' created the new big cake of mobile Internet, but only willing to share the hardware market, not the software market.

It eats alone in front of the whole world, and others can't do anything about it.Because of the sanctions imposed on the 'Holy Light', the West has no means to deal with it. "

A sigh is a sigh, but at present many companies and media have to bow their heads to the 'Holy Light'.

For example, many companies in Japan have opened accounts on their "Holy Light" version of Weibo in advance. Media such as the 'Yomiuri Shimbun' have long been prepared to push out their own content when new users register.

The speed of the 3G network is not fast enough, and it is still not possible to scan videos, but it is completely possible to scan pictures.All kinds of short news appear in front of users like bombing.

Young people are very receptive to new things. With the reminder and catalysis of the early publicity, they can use the iPhone's built-in APP smoothly.

The conversion efficiency of advertisement promotion in APP is also surprisingly high.

But if you want the WeChat and Weibo of "Holy Light" to push advertisements for enterprises, it will cost money.Zhou Qingfeng not only makes a fortune selling mobile phones, but also earns more from advertising fees.

Even 'Apple' couldn't earn this money, but it was earned by 'Holy Light'.

The latter is not only a hardware manufacturer, but also a software manufacturer.

It is a combination of companies such as 'Apple', 'Twitter', 'Facebook' and 'Ins' ​​- even in the monopoly world, it is an out-and-out giant.

In addition to social media, 'Sacred Light' has more than ten different types of games built into its iPhone.

Simple 'Lianliankan', complex 'Dragon Quest' type page games.

Most games are free, but mobile games like 'Plants vs. Zombies', 'Clash of Clans' and 'Defend the Carrot' actually cost money.

Krypton gold, damn krypton gold!

Miura also saw a ship girl game called "Girls Line" in it, which also required krypton gold, drawing cards, and drawing SSR cards.

These card or tower defense games are relatively simple, and with optimized configuration, they can really run on the original iPhone.They're also simple to play, but definitely addictive.

For a country like Japan where the otaku culture is prevalent, all similar games are absolutely money-making masterpieces—God damn Zhou Qingfeng, how shameless is he?

The shameless bastard.Plagiarism, plagiarism, he will only plagiarize!

No wonder he refused to open up the software market, and he would not want to change it to anyone.

Selling hardware can only make money once, but making software is a steady stream of money.The media now only sees that 'Holy Light' makes money by selling mobile phones, but it is these blood-sucking software that really make money.

"Damn it, 'Holy Light' even has the pornhub app ready." Miura searched through the iPhone's built-in app market, and found that there were even a variety of pornographic software.

Limited by the network speed, the pornhub version of 'Sacred Light' cannot play videos smoothly, but it can be cached for download.In addition, the hot pictures are tantalizing, which is the main medium for pornography.

"It's actually divided into Europe, America, Asia, Middle East, Africa, and South America." Miura clicked a few times casually, and suddenly found a signboard of 'Tokyo Hot' inside.

"You need money to watch the set of pictures, and you can only watch more exciting content by purchasing a membership." Miura was so angry that he wanted to curse, "Does Zhou Qingfeng even make such bad money? His conscience and morality have been thrown into the Pacific Ocean. "

But think about it, the sex industry is a global rigid demand alongside arms and drugs.Its market scope is huge.

The pornhub software of 'Holy Light' has its registration and purchase membership numbers. Within hours of the iPhone's launch, both numbers began to skyrocket.

Even Miura couldn't resist buying a one-month pornhub membership, intending to see what's in this crap software that Zhou Qingfeng created.

After casually clicking on a few links and consuming a little traffic, Miura had to admit that Zhou Qingfeng was a wicked person, but the software he created was pretty good.

After all, the software installed in the iPhone is the software that was brought back 20 years later, and it is the best that stands out in China, a place where the Internet raises Gu.

The Japanese version of pornhub even provides a free tour guide of Kabukicho in Shinjuku, Tokyo, as if opening an online version of "No Material Case" to introduce tourists from all over the world and locals in Tokyo...

Love hotels, bachelor pads, phone clubs, tryst clubs, pink salons, very, very formal places of business—good boys shouldn't be looking up what they're for.

The first batch of mobile Internet users couldn't bear it at all!

It's a pity that most of these storefronts are not open to foreigners.

But Miura couldn't hold back when he doubled, he grabbed his phone and showed it to the taxi driver.

The other party took a glance and knew where he was going, and he admired by the way: "Ah... this is the iPhone. It is indeed a very advanced product, but unfortunately it is a Chinese product."

The driver is an old man in his seventies, with gray hair and still going out to work.What he implied was that he would buy the iPhone if it was a Japanese product, but he still looks down on Chinese products in his heart.

Miura was annoyed by what he said.Because Japanese mobile phone companies are really sick in their brains. They make the feature phones to the extreme, but they are extremely stubborn in turning to smart phones.

It is precisely because of this bureaucratic stubbornness that Miura has found it difficult to move forward in trying to change Japan.This is far inferior to Park Ho-chang in South Korea.

But South Korea's difficulty lies in its own market is too small, must rely on China.But China has a predator like Zhou Qingfeng.If Park Haochang dared to go to the tiger's mouth to snatch food, he would definitely die without a place to die.

Now the only thing that can fight against the 'Holy Light' team is really only the 'Brotherhood'.

The United States has also engaged in many "advanced" Internet projects.But in terms of mobile Internet, the lack of key devices such as the iPhone just makes it impossible.

Alas... Miura sighed secretly, the taxi arrived.He walked into a pink salon in Shinjuku and showed the clerk that he had just ordered a service on his smartphone.

The store manager came out to receive him personally, with a very respectful attitude, which made Miura enjoy the store very much.

Specifically, what does the pink salon do? You don’t want Baidu or Google.All are very serious services, which fully comply with the Japanese law on the custom industry.

Just waiting for Miura to leave after having fun, the store manager followed him to ask for praise.

"Praise?" Miura thought to himself: "I used to come out to play, and there was never such a thing? Could it be..."

"Please give us a good review on the APP. If you can add a few comments or take a photo as a souvenir, we will also give you a coupon."

The manager of this pink salon almost knocked his head on the ground, humbly begging for a good review from the VIP in front of him who is using an iPhone.Only then did Miura suddenly realize that 'Holy Light' is really going to change Japanese society.

This is not just selling a mobile phone, it is clearly sending a completely different set of social operating rules over.

On the surface, this set of rules is modern life, the most fashionable and fashionable technology, but in essence, it smashes many operating systems in the past to pieces.

In the past, when Miura came out to play, he either relied on his own daily experience, or he relied on the introduction of "unknown case insiders" on the street.Now the 'Holy Light' app has taken care of this matter.

The convenience is absolutely irresistible to LSPs, and all kinds of custom shops can also avoid the high intermediary fees for "no material cases".

It is a trick transplanted from China to allow customers to use good reviews. Its fairness and credibility are far higher than the "no material case" run by the "Yakuza" on the street.

This new system will definitely be strongly opposed by the original interest groups, but if both users and merchants accept it, the intermediary underworld 'Yakuza' will not be able to handle it.

Furthermore, this set of rules does not apply only to the sex industry.Wherever the mobile Internet goes, it can be used without any disadvantage.

Think about how 'Twitter' dared to block Wang Wang's account, so that the dignified President of the United States was forcibly shut up before stepping down - who dares to say that 'Holy Light' can't do that day?

Under repeated pleas from the store manager, Miura took out his iPhone and gave Pink Salon who served him a good review.But when he walked out of the store, his forehead was sweating profusely.

Japan in the original history actually resisted the invasion of the Internet era, stubbornly and conservatively stopped on the track it was familiar with.

But time and space reverse flow has given Japan a brand new possibility.

Miura thought of those old stubborn politicians who had been murdered by him, but his head was a little dazed.If the 'Holy Light' continues to influence him like this, what will happen in the future, he can't tell.

The unimagined path is not so predictable.

Chapter 27

click, click, click...

The mechanical clock on the wall made a faint sound, and the second hand was moving.

Zhou Qingfeng sat in the office of the Imperial Capital headquarters and stared at the clock as the time passed slowly in front of him.

One turn of the second hand means one minute of life is wasted.

On the computer screen on the president's desk, the group's supercomputer aggregates data from iPhone servers deployed around the world.

The sales network of each smartphone, as well as the click registration and consumption of bundled software are transformed into a series of information streams, which are refreshed in front of Zhou Qingfeng once a minute.

Ah... Zhou Qingfeng leaned back on the chair and didn't want to move, his eyes moved back and forth between the clock and the display screen.Every time the second hand makes a revolution, he glances at the data, and every time the data will rise sharply.

As soon as the iPhone came out, the wealth of the richest man in the world rose like a rocket, which was unstoppable.

When the West encircled and suppressed China's semiconductor industry, the biggest advantage was not its hardware barriers, but the software ecological environment that attracted countless money.

Starting from the lowest programming language, this environment is built step by step and iterated step by step, taking decades.

For example, since 2000, the Java language has risen in the field of enterprise software.

But is Java the best?Obviously not.Google began to use the Go language environment developed by itself through continuous trial and error and progress, and achieved better results.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of progress requires a lot of manpower, material resources and time.But now, all the results of trial and error are placed in front of the Chinese and American candidates—other forces are not eligible to be on the poker table.

The patent dispute between the two parties has been in full swing for the past two years. The 'Brotherhood' also wanted to launch the means of attracting money in the mobile Internet era as soon as possible, but they couldn't.

In terms of technology application and industrial integration, 'Holy Light' is obviously better than its American counterparts.Zhou Qingfeng took out the product faster, so he made a final decision.

Rich application software makes the iPhone even more powerful, and has won wide acclaim in the industry.

Even the western media had to say sourly - the smart phone of 'Holy Light' hit the relevant industries in Europe and America, and the mobile phone market was completely subverted.

In the past, the likes of 'Nokia', 'Ericsson' and 'Motorola' made money lying down, but now the throne has been changed.
