Zhou Kai and Lin Dongze also met with Qin Hai in the evening. Qin Hai said that the five major factories were willing to hire them for one million.

"Haha, thank you, we don't want to leave Qilin just yet." Zhou Kai sneered.

Who can a million people look down upon?

Although the two of them currently have an annual salary of only 500,000 yuan, including bonuses, the salary is more than 1 million yuan a month.

Who would jump ship unless their brains are damaged?

They felt that mainland bosses were stingy, so the prices they offered would naturally not be high. There was no way Cao Mang gave too much, so the conspiracy of the five major factories failed again.

In the future, they will have to face Cao Mang's backlash.

All computers from the five major manufacturers installed with Kirin Computer Manager will frequently experience problems such as blue screens of crashes as long as the CPU is overclocked.

Want a solution?

It's very simple, either turn off the so-called smart acceleration or not install Kirin Computer Manager, so that your computer can run stably.

No one would have thought that the blue screen of death was caused by Kirin Computer Manager. Anyone who knows computers would think that it is caused by overclocking.

In the next few days, the dealers of the five major manufacturers were very worried. Every day, customers came to the store carrying machines and clamoring for returns.

"Return, I want to return it. You deceived me that Qilin was not good. I believed your lies and bought your product. But what was the result?

The blue screen came up seven or eight times a day, and the manuscript I wrote was not archived. Once the blue screen came up, half a day's work was wasted."

"Asus has the best motherboard in the world. It's so stupid. That day I hit a white wild boar and just exploded a Judgment. It broke my computer and gave me a blue screen of death. Do you know how much a Judgment costs?"

"If you don't refund me today, I will destroy your store."

Except for Kirin, people in other stores are clamoring for returns.

Cao Mang asked Kirin Butler to update a small patch online. When the patch detects that the CPU is overclocked, it will execute a piece of code. This code will cause the computer to randomly crash with a blue screen. The most powerful weapon in the world is indeed the patch.

Seeing so many customers making trouble, the dealers couldn't bear the pressure, so they gritted their teeth and promised to replace the Kirin motherboards for free for customers to solve the problem.

Otherwise, under such a commotion, the store's business will be unable to continue, and the losses will be even greater.

Kirin's agents suddenly became happy. In order to make up for their previous losses, they increased the shipping price to the original price. Do you want to make trouble with the consumers?

After a large number of returns occurred, the five major manufacturers immediately started research and discovered the problem within half a day.

They were able to confirm that it was caused by Kirin Computer Manager, but they were unable to find the code that caused the blue screen of death.

As long as the computer is not overclocked or Kirin Computer Manager is not installed, there will be no problems.

"Can we sue Qilin?"

"You can sue, but it's meaningless. We don't have conclusive evidence. The other party can argue with us and delay it for a year or two without any problem.

In addition, Kirin Software and Kirin Computer are two different companies. You are claiming that Kirin Software does not affect Kirin motherboards.

Also, this computer manager only gives away Kirin motherboards if you buy them. Kirin Software insists that those sold through other channels are pirated, and there is nothing we can do against them."

This is the response from the top five manufacturers after asking their lawyers.

That's right, pirated software causes computer problems, what does it have to do with my Kylin software?

OK.

Qilin, you won.

The top five manufacturers will have no choice but to adopt new strategies.

Intelligent accelerator motherboards can only be completely discontinued. From now on, the prices of products from the five major manufacturers will be reduced across the board. The price reduction will gain a little room for survival.

The war between Kirin and the five major manufacturers has come to an end for the time being. Unless they can also come up with some black technology, there will be no way to change the situation of one company being the dominant player for a long time in the future.

....

A hotel in Shenzhen...

Morning tea time.

"Oh, Boss Cao, you can come." Uncle Kun greeted him with a smile and stood up to move Cao Mang's chair.

In just a few months, they made more money following Cao Mang than they had made in a year.

They didn't dare to neglect this God of Wealth at all.

"Uncle Kun, you are an elder, you don't need to be so polite, come and smoke a root of Huazi." Cao Mang handed over a root of Huazi and said politely.

Cao Mang took out a lighter. Uncle Kun was not polite and put the cigarette in his mouth. Cao Mang also lit it for him. Uncle Kun gently patted Cao Mang's hand to signal that it was okay.

"What kind of business does Boss Cao have for calling us here this time?" Uncle Kun flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said with a smile.

"I established a media company as soon as possible and signed two singers. The album has been recorded and I plan to release it, so I wanted to ask Uncle Kun for help." Cao Mang lit a cigarette for himself and took a puff.

said.

"Boss Cao, if you want to release an album, it's not right for us to be with you. You should be with Xinhua Bookstore." Uncle Kun said with a smile.

Uncle Kun's meaning is very clear. He is just a seller of pirated discs. It is obviously inappropriate for you to find him.

"Why is it inappropriate? Uncle Kun, let me ask you, are you selling discs?" Cao Mang asked, filling Uncle Kun's tea cup.

"Boss Cao, I sell CDs, but what we sell are pirated CDs," Uncle Kun replied.

"Uncle Kun, since we are selling discs, that's fine. Who said that those who sell pirated discs can't sell genuine discs, right? Isn't the Kirin Butler you helped me sell before also genuine?

If I authorize it for you, you are the genuine one, and those who have not obtained the authorization are pirated copies." Cao Mang said with a smile.

Uncle Kun rolled his little eyes and thought for a moment, it seemed that what Cao Mang said was correct.

"Boss Cao, we can't sell pirated discs at high prices," Uncle Kun replied.

Uncle Kun understood what Cao Mang meant, but the price gap between genuine and pirated copies was huge, and their offline ones would never buy genuine ones.

"Uncle Kun, those genuine CDs sell for thirty or forty dollars a piece, and you can make twenty or thirty dollars a piece. It looks like you make a lot of money, but you actually make very little. Most of the shares have been taken away by you.

You can't make much money no matter how hard you work, can you?

If I license this album to you, not only will you be able to sell genuine copies, but also having an identity can sometimes avoid unnecessary troubles.

Each album only costs two yuan in licensing fees, so won’t the price come down?” Cao Mang said with a smile.

After listening to Cao Mang's words, he also fell into deep thought.

Why haven't I thought about this problem before? After Cao Mang authorized me, I will be the original dealer. Why is the other party willing to cooperate with me, because I have nationwide sales channels.

The difference between pirated and genuine copies is that one is legal and the other is illegal. With a legal identity, you may be able to clear your name. As long as these channels are used well, you may be able to go further in the future.

The most important thing is that the price requested by Cao Mang is not high. The licensing fee of 2 yuan plus the production cost only costs 3 yuan for an album. Even if they wholesale 6 yuan, they can sell it casually because it is a legitimately licensed disc.

The only thing I worry about is the quality of the album.

"Okay, Mr. Cao, I promise you." Uncle Kun gritted his teeth and agreed. He decided to take a gamble. Anyway, he had nothing to lose.

"Uncle Kun, I wish us a happy cooperation. I will bring a lawyer to sign the contract later. After all, we are doing serious business." Cao Mang raised his tea cup and smiled.

"Boss Cao, it's a pleasure to work with you," Uncle Kun replied with a smile.
