Chapter 356: Stuck on the User's Neck

In 2018, Pingguo issued a regulation: jailbroken Pingguo phones will not be covered by warranty.

However, there are various ways to make jailbroken Pingguo phones participate in normal warranty, even as long as the serial number is not changed.

Now the solution given by the technical department is more thorough. All non-Pingguo official software cannot be installed, otherwise it will be regarded as jailbreaking, and even write restrictions must be implemented in conjunction with hardware manufacturers.

Cook actually recovered his sanity after getting angry that day, so when he got this solution, he did not roar again, or even get angry.

He just sighed, looked at the words on the document, and said helplessly: "An ordinary young man from Daxia can actually study the software system to this extent, alas."

At the same time, he also remembered the information revealed to him by some people, so Cook's sighing eyes quickly retracted.

"Convening a board meeting is a crucial decision. The future of our Pingguo depends on this."

This board meeting was actually not held for a long time. For the "strong invasion" of the alien species of the Gonggong system, many forces have ideas and strategies to resist.

So Pingguo Billion Record users received an important official push update and announcement from Pingguo at the end of May, as well as a new agreement painstakingly written by Pingguo's legal department lawyers.

"The Pingguo system is designed to provide users with a reliable and secure experience. Built-in security features protect against malware and viruses and help protect access to personal information and company data. Unauthorized modifications to the Pingguo system bypass security features and may expose Pingguo phones to hacker attacks, including:

Security vulnerabilities, system instability, reduced battery life, unreliable voice and data, service interruptions, inability to apply future software updates, and other issues.

For users who have already jailbroken their phones, if you reinstall the Pingguo system and restore factory settings before June 1, our company will continue to reserve your right to enjoy Pingguo services."

Although the announcement did not mention the name of a company's system, countless netizens saw a word in the harm items that may be caused by jailbreaking the phone - targeting.

For example, the security vulnerability hazards of jailbreaking the phone explain the problem in detail: jailbroken devices will eliminate the security layer designed to protect personal information and iOS devices. After removing this security from iOS devices, hackers may steal your personal information, damage the device, attack your network or introduce malware, spyware or viruses.

Some people also said: "After I used Gonggong system, I never received disgusting push notifications from shopping apps, and I also resisted countless hacker attacks. You tell me about the harm?"

There is also the shortened battery life, which is about the accelerated battery consumption caused by hacked software.

Users who flashed to Gonggong system ruthlessly said: "It was only after using Gonggong system that I experienced the joy of not charging for a whole day. Is Pingguo system suitable?"

Of course, whether it is suitable or not, there are still many people who are concerned about the subsequent warranty and other services of their mobile phones, and gave up the idea of ​​changing the system. There are also some users who flashed to Gonggong system and switched back to Pingguo system.

When the forces behind Google saw that Pingguo's move came out, they actually regained a lot of user share, and immediately followed suit and issued an announcement.

Limited by the openness of the Android system, major mobile phone manufacturers with a little technical ability have their own modified Android systems, so this announcement has many changes, and the binding force is even lower than Pingguo's.

However, with the various restrictions imposed by Android and Pingguo, as well as financial support to the media and certain forces, the number of users of the Gonggong system in foreign countries, especially in Europe and the United States, has begun to decline significantly. Especially when the relevant departments began to vigorously block the news of Gonggong system files and high-quality functions, the number of users of the Gonggong system in foreign countries even began to decrease every day.

It can only be said that the rules are set by the vested interests to prevent latecomers from grabbing the cake, and have never been really for the sustainable and good development of the industry.

After all, college students now know that only monopoly can generate the greatest benefits.

On the one hand, Android makes a lot of money in the open system field, and on the other hand, Pingguo takes the highest-end profits in the customization field. Both markets are firmly in hand.

However, the number of users of the Gonggong system in Europe and the United States is falling, but the number of users in Daxia is rising day by day.

Since many public computers have recently started to switch to the Gonggong system, its upward momentum is not bad...

But from a global perspective, after these operations, Pingguo and Google have spent a lot of money and finally got a chance to take a break.

The evil Daxia mobile phone system has stagnated in its own territory, and the number of new phones sold by Pingguo in Daxia that have been flashed has also begun to decrease.

Google and Pingguo’s senior executives even held a joint video conference for this purpose, hoping to continue to work together in the future.

Unfortunately, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.

There is a very magical place in Daxia called Huaqiangbei.

Located in Futian District, Pengcheng City, it was an industrial zone mainly producing electrical appliances and communications in the early years.

In 2018, about 500 million mobile phones in Daxia were eliminated by users. Among them, more than 100 million were sent to Huaqiangbei for recycling.

Refurbished and resold, old mobile phones are refined, and disassembled to provide parts for other mobile phones to provide repair services. This is a huge profit chain.

Huaqiangbei is a place name, but it can also be used as a noun for this profit chain.

There are too many people in Daxia, and there will be people specializing in any industry that can make money.

With the popularity of smartphones and the acceleration of replacement, more and more old and broken mobile phones are entering unofficial recycling channels, and major mobile phone parts suppliers will sell certain models of parts in bulk for more profits.

So many unofficial mobile phone repair personnel were born.

Even the most popular flagship mobile phone Xiawei Mate 40pro, the bosses of Huaqiangbei can assemble a Xiawei Mate 40pro in their own studio through the collected parts, and this phone can be used The experience is exactly the same as the original mobile phone, but the sealing and waterproof performance of the mobile phone is worse.

These bosses used to mainly do business in domestic mid-range mobile phones, and dismantle garbage to supplement parts.

But Pingguo’s reason for not providing repair services after flashing the machine caused many jailbroken users to be unable to repair their mobile phones. At this time, the bosses of Huaqiangbei keenly smelled the smell of money.

They not only cooperated with Internet celebrities and bloggers to attract traffic, but also found some large stores on shopping platforms to cooperate, and even some stores were Huaqiangbei stores.

Users need 300-400 Xia Yuan to buy official repair insurance, but only 99 Xia Yuan is needed to choose the repair insurance from the store. What will most people who are looking for bargains choose?

Ps: Huaqiangbei is a very complicated place, not everything is as good as it is said on the Internet.

I will add more tomorrow, good night everyone =
