Chapter 352: I Am That Madman (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Option 1: Forget it, forget it. Isn't it just taking up a bit of memory? Is it really worth it? There's truly no need for this.

Option 2: Domestic and foreign mobile phone manufacturers must be educated. Go find them one by one and use your fists to convince them!

Option 3: Since you're pursuing Legal Aid, see it through to the end. Consolidate and secure the evidence, and use legal means to make them shut up!

Zhou Yi himself didn't expect that the System would be even less able to endure provocation than he was. He had originally thought there wouldn't be a System Task this time, but he didn't expect that as soon as someone goaded him, it would appear in a split second!

Needless to say, Zhou Yi really wants to give this guy named "Zhong'ai Yisheng" a kiss!

So, after thinking about it, he replied: "You are absolutely right!"

Then he ended the chat.

The person was right. Look, if you only talk about Slow Application, that's definitely not enough; many foreign mobile phone manufacturers have problems too.

The other party said that Four Star pre-installs so many apps, and there is also the domestic Ou Wu, all of which cannot be uninstalled.

Well, one sheep is grazing, and two sheep are being herded; since I'm already at it, I might as well deal with them all!

"I choose three!" Zhou Yi said directly.

"One million has arrived in your Virtual Account!"

"The event has been initiated!"

Opening the System Panel, Zhou Yi could already see the corresponding event.

This is the last event of the current stage; as long as this is completed, he can level up!

It's just that he doesn't know what the next title will be—Senior Troll?

But for now, let's finish this task first; it doesn't seem too difficult.

Slow Application is one problem; this requires testing to verify whether it can be uninstalled.

These can actually all be tested by a Third-party Testing Agency, but at the same time, Zhou Yi also wants to have the Company's people help with the testing.

Why not take advantage of the System when you can!

As for pre-installed software, that's easy to handle; just buy a bunch of new phones to test them. This can also be tested by a Third-party Testing Agency.

But what about the legal issues?

Because in a sense, whether it's Slow Application or those other pre-installed software, they are actually the same—they are all software pre-installed when the phone leaves the factory, and they cannot be uninstalled.

Unable to figure it out, Zhou Yi dialed Fang Dazhuang's phone again.

"What is it again? I have another divorce case today. The guy actually committed bigamy. I have to find a way now... *cough cough*, anyway, are you going to speak?"

Fang Dazhuang's words made Zhou Yi start to break out in a cold sweat. Honestly, you, Fang Dazhuang, are doing much more extreme things than I am!

At most, I think about filing a Lawsuit when I encounter a problem, but you, whenever you encounter a problem, you find a way to deal with the people who are the problem.

"It's not like that, Zhou Yi, don't misunderstand. This, this was requested by the Plaintiff. I just mentioned that they might be suspected of bigamy and could initiate a Criminal Private Prosecution, and they said they must be sent in. What can I do!"

"Alright, Fang Dazhuang, stop explaining. I have another problem here. You said pre-installed software that cannot be uninstalled—what legal issues does that involve?" Zhou Yi laughed.

"Pre-installed software? Oh, that Slow Application thing. That's simple. According to normal logic, once you buy a phone, it's yours. You can play with it however you want, right? So as long as it's not something essential for the phone's system, it must be uninstallable, and it must be very convenient to uninstall!"

Fang Dazhuang said quickly.

This is similar to the previous food delivery insurance; in the final analysis, it is a right of choice.

Having many things on your own phone that cannot be uninstalled is a problem, and a big one at that!

"What are the basic functions of a phone? Communication, text messages, and of course, nowadays it must have functions like photography and video recording, but other than these, do other things need to be installed?"

"Whether they need to be installed naturally depends on each of us consumers. What we need to install, we can naturally install; what we don't need to install, it must be possible to uninstall!"

This is the core issue. After all, the phone was produced by them. You can pre-install many things when it leaves the factory; that is your right, after all, it's yours before it's sold.

But, after it's sold to me, this thing is mine. As long as it doesn't affect the normal use of the phone, theoretically, I can delete whatever I want to delete!

But now, the things I want to delete cannot be deleted. You are just acting like a hooligan by relying on your status!

"So now, our Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has issued corresponding regulations. These regulations were also issued a few years ago, but the effect was not particularly good because many manufacturers were skirting the rules."

"Notice on Further Regulating the Pre-installation of Applications on Mobile Smart Terminals" is the newly issued regulation.

According to Fang Dazhuang, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology had similar regulations back in 2016, but unfortunately, there is a policy from above and a countermeasure from below.

The original regulation stated that among pre-installed software, all software other than basic system functions must be uninstallable.

It seemed fine, but it didn't strictly define what basic system functions were, so they started playing tricks on you.

For example, we normally have an app store on our phones; this is a basic system function software, and you need to use it to download software.

But, besides the app store, they add a game center for you. Hey, it looks like it's also a basic system function software, so it definitely can't be uninstalled, right? That's normal.

But this is normal my foot! The games in the game center can be found by searching in the app store!

In other words, the function of one of these two apps is already sufficient to cover the other, and the other one is completely useless.

However, it can bring huge profits to the manufacturer.

How does it bring them? Simple. When you open those centers, there will be all kinds of recommendations inside. How do you think those recommendation spots come about?

The app store can push other apps, and the game center pushes games, so that's more income.

When you feel there are many things you can't figure out, just lean towards the benefits; there's definitely no problem with that.

This is the rule-skirting the manufacturers are doing.

But this new regulation is different; it directly limits the scope of basic system function software!

According to the new regulations, only the following range of basic function software can be non-uninstallable; others must be uninstallable, and the method must be simple and fast!

Taken together, there are just these few types: system settings, file management, multimedia recording—which is the camera and Photo—making and receiving calls, sending and receiving text messages, contacts, browser, and app store.

With all regulations detailed, only these can you say cannot be uninstalled; for others, one by one, they must all be uninstallable, and they must all be quickly uninstallable!

Those that cannot be uninstalled from the desktop and require opening the application management in settings to uninstall are also not allowed!

"So you just follow these aspects. As long as it doesn't comply with the regulations, you can record it, and then, for the secured evidence, go to a notary office for Notarization. When the time comes, you can do whatever you want with it," Fang Dazhuang continued.

"Okay, I know. Then, Fang Dazhuang, you continue, I won't disturb you..."

Although Fang Dazhuang always says he is busy, as long as he opens the conversation, he will go on at length.

In that case, we can prepare to make the first review video!

Soon, a phone call was made to the General Manager.

"General Manager Zhou, you said the Company is holding another event, starting tomorrow? Fine, I will notify everyone right away."

If it were before, the General Manager would have tried to advise against it, saying that doing things this way would make the Company unable to continue.

But now he doesn't say that, because General Manager Zhou has already held such events several times; they all involve asking everyone for help, followed by distributing various benefits, and the result is that not only has the Company not gone bankrupt, it is actually thriving.

On the contrary, those companies that are stingy in every way and wish they could make their Employees work until they die have seen quite a few go bankrupt in the last two years...

In the Company, everyone is busy with their work, while Jiang Hao looks up at the training room next door from time to time.

After follow-up treatment, his girlfriend was discharged from the hospital, then she came to Tenda to apply for a job and began training.

It was break time again, and Jiang Hao had already trotted over to call his girlfriend out, smiling: "How is it, Tiantian? Tenda is still the best, right?"

Sun Tiantian had just finished listening to the lecture and was truly in a daze at this moment.

A company that teaches its Employees about Labor Law during training... She had heard Jiang Hao mention it before, but she didn't expect it to be this outrageous!

And the Company's regulations—that legal girl said, you can memorize the regulations clearly, and as long as you don't violate them, nothing will happen.

This is truly something one wouldn't even dare to imagine...

After all, in many private enterprises, it is the boss's word that is law; whatever they say goes, and regulations are just fleeting clouds.

Hearing Jiang Hao's words, waking up from her daze, Sun Tiantian said sincerely: "That's a must. Getting off work on time, weekends off—this feeling is real; this is the life I yearn for."

The two were whispering there, because the Company does not forbid office romances.

However, this also made the fists of other single people clench.

Just at this moment, many people took out their phones because there was a notification in the Company group.

But after reading this notification, Sun Tiantian was stunned: tomorrow they are to help General Manager Zhou conduct a testing activity, and every participant can enter a lucky draw, with a guaranteed new mobile phone!

This, is this definitely not a lie?

There are so many people in the Company; giving everyone a mobile phone?

Sun Tiantian looked at Jiang Hao, wanting to know the answer from her boyfriend.

However, Jiang Hao had only been on the job for a little over a month, and these things were just rumors he had heard from seniors, but there was no help for it; in front of his girlfriend, he had to keep up appearances.

Thus, he quickly said with a calm face: "Tiantian, this is just a small matter. In our Company, General Manager Zhou often holds similar activities. They all involve us helping him do some things, and then he gives us corresponding rewards."

"Look, everyone isn't saying anything; they are already used to it."

Sun Tiantian looked around, and sure enough, the old Employees were not speaking.

However, just at this moment, suddenly, a certain man let out a shout!

"Holy crap, everyone gets a phone? General Manager Zhou is generous!"

It was Yuan Jianhua who had seen the notification and started shouting randomly.

This... Sun Tiantian looked at her boyfriend again; Jiang Hao had his hands in his pockets and was whistling—the wind was so noisy today.

Although there had been similar activities before, like letting everyone go on trips or cutting prices on shopping apps, the scale of the reward this time was still shockingly large!

It had already been stated clearly: everyone is guaranteed to win a mobile phone!

Although everyone can afford to use smartphones now, who wouldn't want a free mobile phone!

With General Manager Zhou's standards, it's impossible for him to buy those low-end goods; one can only say: General Manager Zhou is generous!

There are always fresh things on the internet; working overtime until ending up in the ICU has long been forgotten by many, and now it has turned into how to treat our mental exhaustion.

But, putting showing off wealth on social media and treating mental exhaustion together has a rather magical feeling, leaving a veteran troll like Pusa Xiong not knowing how to fire back; after silence, he chose not to look at the news for this period.

Why start the test the next day? Because Zhou Yi needed to buy mobile phones.

Normally speaking, for testing pre-installed software, one doesn't actually need many of the same brand, but with the System, it would be stupid not to buy more.

It's just that Zhou Mouren doesn't dare to go too far; the System grandson is watching at all times.

He opened a certain e-commerce site directly, found the flagship stores of major mobile phone brands, and started placing orders.

It wasn't for anything else; it was mainly because that site's delivery is fast, and its local warehouse can deliver directly.

And then... Zhou Mouren almost bought out the local warehouse.

The customer service girl on the other side was stunned, subconsciously thinking this was probably a scalper.

Zhou Yi doesn't buy low-end phones; he buys the high-end phones of major Manufacturers. Anyway, it's for the benefit of the Company.

Time soon arrived at the next day. Everyone went to work as usual. Sun Tiantian didn't need training today, and not long after she sat down at her workstation, she saw a shocking scene!

He Zongjian pushed a small cart similar to a shopping cart, on which were placed all kinds of mobile phones—all new and unopened!

Taking a careful look, they were all high-end phones from major Manufacturers; General Manager Zhou is really going all out this time!

He Ling had already started distributing the phones, saying while handing them out: "Later, everyone will start testing. You need to use your own phones to record from the moment of unboxing, see how many built-in pre-installed software are in these phones, what can be uninstalled and what cannot, whether there are problems during the uninstallation process, memory usage, and how much data is consumed after inserting the SIM card—all need to be recorded clearly!"

"Also, after this is recorded clearly, use the new phones to record a service program on your own phones, the Slow Application. You must also record clearly how much memory this application occupies, how much data it consumes, and so on."

This was no problem; for these Employees, it really couldn't be simpler.

And in the office, Zhou Yi had specifically hired a photographer to film; the video must be released.

For the extra phones bought, Zhou Yi had already found a third-party appraisal agency, a very authoritative one.

Likewise, the third-party appraisal agency would also conduct corresponding appraisals.

Since he is going to do it, he must do it to the end. Zhou Yi had already thought it through clearly: this video being released would directly cut into the cake of those mobile phone Manufacturers, and it is very likely he would be scolded as being crazy, but it doesn't matter—I, Zhou Yi, am that crazy person!

If presenting facts and reasoning is also crazy, and if acting according to the law for Legal Aid is also considered crazy, then I, Zhou Yi, am a crazy person!

Perhaps for many people, a phone being slightly laggy or having a few rogue software popping up randomly doesn't really count for much, but Zhou Yi just wants to be pedantic about this!

He really wants to figure out how these mobile phone Manufacturers actually do it, just like the Pinduoduo of the past!

Everyone thinks it's not worth it, everyone thinks there's no need to be so pedantic, and that being so pedantic will leave one without friends. He, Zhou Yi, doesn't need friends; what he needs are comrades!

Not the "comrades" that are currently being misinterpreted in various ways, but "people with the same ideals"!

…………

The power of money is just great; what to do about beloved friends and brothers-in-arms? Add money. What to do about low efficiency? Also, add money.

Stimulated by the rewards, everyone worked very diligently and very quickly.

Originally, they planned to set aside a whole day, but in the end, everyone finished it in just one morning.

That goes without saying; the workhorses of the Self-Media Studio must now begin their labor.

This time, the raw footage was also explosive in quantity; how to select it, how to edit it—these are very professional tasks, and they will be very tiring.

Let Quan Longtian host the event; since the task was completed ahead of schedule, they will just book a place this afternoon for a team-building activity and hold a lucky draw while they are at it.

By the third day, the video had already been produced!

I wasn't paying attention and wrote until now, emmm, it still counts as yesterday's, right... Begging for monthly tickets.

Thanks to Abothos, another new big brother, Wenchidage, Mr. Black and White, XyFox, Qiqi's Abai, Big Brother Mere Fatal Wound, Blood Reflecting Cold Plum, Zero Thermometer, HoistSails, thank you brothers for the tips, thank you.
