Meizu's reaction was exactly what Fu Yibai had expected.
Huang Zhang is not stupid. After the M8 was crushed by the Nebula X1 in both product strength and brand power, price reduction and promotion is the most direct response.
The switch to the Android system indicates that Meizu has realized the ecological dilemma of Windows CE.
But price cuts can only solve the immediate problem, and switching to Android is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
The Meizu M8's system architecture is based on Windows CE, and porting it to Android would be like starting from scratch.
Without a research and development cycle of one to two years, a mature product simply cannot be produced.
In the year and a half that Nebula X1 has been able to build a wider moat, encompassing application ecosystem, user reputation, brand awareness, and channel relationships.
One step at a time, one step at a time.
As long as it doesn't make any fatal mistakes, Xingchen Technology's first-mover advantage in the domestic smartphone market can be maintained for at least two to three years.
Beijing Capital International Airport, August 22.
Guo Zhenni walked back from the check-in counter, holding three boarding passes in her hand.
"Mr. Fu, the formalities are complete. First class, three seats together."
"Um."
Fu Yibai took the boarding pass and glanced at the time.
This time, Fu Yibai took Guo Zhenni and Fan Binbin to Los Angeles to film "Interstellar".
The Interstellar project has been in preparation for nearly a year and a half since it was launched at the beginning of last year.
The location scouting team traveled to three continents, visiting glaciers in Iceland, cornfields in Canada, and the interior of the Eternity spaceship built outside Los Angeles.
The special effects team created dozens of visual previews of the black hole before finally settling on the final version last month.
The photography team, lighting team, art team, costume team—every department was operating at its limit.
Now it's finally time to turn it on.
The boarding announcement came over the loudspeaker.
The three people walked towards the security checkpoint.
Go through security, enter the boarding gate, and board the plane.
At 11:45 a.m. Los Angeles time on April 22, the plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport.
Tom was already waiting at the exit.
It was still that black Cadillac, and the same white driver in a black suit with a meticulous expression.
"Mr. Fu, welcome back."
He took the luggage cart from Guo Zhenni and put the suitcases into the trunk one by one.
"Where to go first?"
Fan Binbin asked.
"Let's go to the villa first and put our luggage down."
This afternoon I'm going to Franchise Studios; Margaret has a few documents to sign.
"And at night?"
"night?"
Fu Yibai turned his head to look at her.
Fan Binbin took off his sunglasses, his eyes sparkling, and a mischievous smile playing on his lips.
"Annie and Scarlett, what are your plans?"
Fu Yibai remained silent.
Fan Binbin leaned closer and lowered his voice.
Stop pretending.
I was mentally prepared before I came.
I won't make things difficult for your two Hollywood lovers.
She paused, then her tone became serious.
"But there is one condition."
"What?"
"Tonight you are mine."
Tomorrow—we'll talk about it tomorrow.
Fu Yibai looked at her, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved up.
"it is good."
The car drove into Beverly Hills and stopped in front of the villa.
Fu Yibai pushed open the door and got out of the car, with Fan Binbin following behind him, looking up at the Spanish-style white building.
"Is this your home in Los Angeles?"
"Um."
"It's bigger than I imagined."
She picked up her suitcase and walked towards the door.
"Come on, show me around."
As soon as I opened the door, the entryway light turned on automatically.
Outside the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows are a swimming pool and a row of palm trees, and further away, the Los Angeles skyline, shimmering silvery-white in the afternoon sun.
Fan Binbin stood in the center of the living room, looked around, then turned around and met Fu Yibai's gaze.
"good."
She walked over, wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the lips.
"But tonight, this place is mine."
Fu Yibai put his arm around her waist and looked down at her.
"It has always been yours."
A glint flashed in Fan Binbin's eyes, but she quickly buried her face in his chest, preventing him from seeing her expression.
"Glib-tongued."
Her voice was muffled, tinged with reproach, but she held him even tighter.
"Where are those two women?"
Fan Binbin looked around but didn't find any other people. Moreover, no one had come out even though they had been inside for so long.
"Because they've already joined the production team."
So this period of my life is yours.
"Okay~"
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
Fan Binbin playfully bit Fu Yibai.
Guo Zhenni stood at the door, watching the two embrace from behind, gently closed the door, and turned to arrange their luggage.
At 3 p.m., Fu Yibai brought Fan Binbin and Guo Zhenni to the franchise film studio.
Margaret was already waiting at the office door.
"Boss, welcome back."
She came forward, shook hands with Fu Yibai, and then looked at Fan Binbin.
"Miss Fan, we meet again."
"Margaret."
Fan Binbin hugged Margaret, who has participated in many Hollywood films in the past two years through the franchise.
It can be said that among domestic female stars, she has the highest international fame.
"Go in."
Fu Yibai stepped into the office.
While he was signing the documents, Margaret and Fan Binbin were exchanging pleasantries on the sofa.
