Chapter 170: Giving back to the user's surprise
Unmodified version, out of battery, too late to modify]
Unfair competition, Wu Hao shook his head.
This is true, but if you want to sue the other party, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort, and it will take a long time, obviously Wu Hao and they can't wait for such a long time at present.
The friction with the fruit before, in fact, he had already thought about this problem. Their rise is bound to touch the interests of some enterprises, which is inevitable.
It's just that at present, this is still a secret competition, and it has not yet been put on the surface. As soon as the speed of their expansion threatens these businesses, I'm afraid they will be tempted to make a move.
Seeing Zhang Jun's worried look, Wu Hao smiled and waved his hand: "You don't have to worry too much, I'm just giving an example."
Android is not as open as OS, it is open source, which means that it is difficult for them to ban us.
If they do, it will not only damage their reputation, but also their mobile experience.
What's more, it's not that we don't have countermeasures, but the cost is a little bigger. ”
At what cost? Zhang Jun asked.
Wu Hao said with a smile: "The reason why these mobile phone manufacturers didn't dare to touch us is that they are actually a little afraid of us."
They are afraid that once we are in a hurry, then we are likely to throw ourselves into the arms of other mobile phone manufacturers and directly launch relevant intelligent voice assistant applications, which will be a huge blow to them.
It's just that in this way, our product sales will be hit by a huge blow. In the future, we can only make money through software services and advertising.
This is also why so many mobile phone manufacturers come to seek cooperation, and I didn't agree, in fact, it is to maintain a balance. ”
After hearing his words, Zhang Jun still looked worried: "It's okay to maintain such a balance now, but if our next-generation products come out, I'm afraid these mobile phone manufacturers will really not be able to sit still." ”
Boil the frog in warm water and take your time. Let's try to slow down the whole process so that their reaction is not too violent. Wu Hao said with a smile.
Zhang Jun nodded, and after thinking for a while, he looked up at him and said, "In that case, then will we still release this news and new products?" ”
Hair, of course. You can't wronged yourself because you're afraid of irritating the other party. Wu Hao waved his hand.
Originally, Wu Hao planned to release some autumn surprises to the market in September and October this year to repay consumers for their support.
Now that we have this achievement, let's just put it together, which can be regarded as a response to the outside world.
I know. Zhang Jun nodded.
Under Zhang Jun's arrangement, the news was soon released to the outside world through the official website, Weibo, and intelligent voice assistant push service.
As of 2:11 p.m. today, the total sales of our intelligent voice assistants across all platforms have exceeded 15 million.
"In order to thank consumers for their support and love for our products, we will fulfill our previous promise and push star voice customization services to our users.
We have communicated with 10 popular idol stars who are currently popular, and now we have launched a celebrity voice crowdfunding list.
If you like the voice of a celebrity, participate in the list now and crowdfund and vote for your favorite celebrity.
Whoever has a crowdfunding fund of more than 10 million, we will launch the celebrity's voice pack. All users who participate in the crowdfunding vote will receive the right to use the celebrity voice pack for one month after the event. ”
That's right, this is Wu Hao's customized voice service. By partnering with these popular idol stars, they will launch voice packs that simulate celebrity accents to meet the needs of a wide range of users, especially fans.
It's a win-win partnership, where the stars can both expand their reach and get a sizable marketing cut of their personal voice packs.
As for Wu Hao, they also use the influence of these stars to further promote their products. And this customized voice pack itself is also charged, and users must pay a monthly fee if they want to use it.
Even if the monthly usage fee for each voice pack is only 10 yuan, then 15 million users will get as much as 150 million yuan in revenue every month.
Of course, this is just the ideal number, after all, there are still a few people who like this exclusive voice pack. And these usage fees are not all theirs, and there are twenty or thirty percent of the star's share.
So when they went to cooperate with these star brokerage companies, the other party quickly agreed after learning the details of the cooperation. After all, for these economic companies, it is not easy to become a popular idol star.
Take advantage of the period of popularity, squeeze out his maximum value as much as possible. Compared with advertising endorsements, this kind of sharing cooperation is more attractive.
After all, the fan economy is also an important source of income for these people.
And it doesn't need to be too laborious, only popular idol stars need to wear Wu Hao and they specially make intelligent voice assistants for a period of time.
These special intelligent voice assistants will record the daily speech habits of the stars, as well as the related timbre tones, and automatically calculate and simulate the voices that are 98% larger due to the celebrity's timbre similarity.
In fact, this similarity can be improved, but Wu Hao and the others artificially controlled it at 98%, in order to avoid some unnecessary problems.
And to ordinary people, there is no difference between 100 percent and 98 percent. Only a hearing-sensitive or specially trained professional, as well as the relevant equipment, can recognize which voices are real and those that are analog.
In addition, Wu Hao and all their voice packs also use this method. The reason for this is mainly to help the relevant departments and intelligent voice assistant users to identify those that are real voices and those that are analog voices.
After all, if this kind of intelligent voice system can simulate the voice of a real person 100%, it will be simply terrifying for the world, and the social trust system that people have built is likely to collapse.
This is what Wu Hao does not want to see, and it is also something that society and the state will never allow.
The reason why crowdfunding is used for paid voting is mainly to avoid the water army swiping votes. To know these so-called popular idol stars, how popular they are, I'm afraid only they know.
Wu Hao didn't want to find people, in the end, there were only a few hundred or thousands of fans, and the rest were all water armies.
And after using this kind of paid voting, even if you want to swipe the order, it will cost money. Although the number of 10 million is not much, it is not a lot, almost enough for their hard work once.
Even if there are few users who end up ordering, it won't end up being a wasted effort.
