"Since you're not helping us, we're having a hard time too." Wu Changxun leaned back in his chair, speaking lazily.
"We're all out here to make money. I want to make it easily too. But the problem now is that everyone's so competitive. You suddenly invest in a software to hold our Tengxu down and stop us from rolling out. Who do you think has the problem, you or me?"
Chen Yiyang was amused by Wu Changxun's words. He even started to wonder if the top executives of these companies were using special versions of their apps without any ads.
However, Chen Yiyang did not continue to argue with Wu Changxun.
The thinking logic of senior management in such large companies is very different from normal people.
Profit and making money are instinctual for them.
As long as they can make money, they'd be willing to watch ads themselves every day.
This instinct distorts all human emotions, turning them into machines that only know how to make money.
Chen Yiyang recalled a piece of news he had seen recently.
Over in North America, there was an internet celebrity who pretended to be a single mother with a baby, calling various religious charitable organizations in North America, saying her child had no formula to eat and hoped to get help.
But surprisingly, all the large religious charities rejected the influencer's request. Some career operators wouldn't even spare twenty US dollars, with some suggesting she become a stripper to earn money for baby formula.
These large charities have grand headquarters, massive member numbers, and enough money to hire a team of professional promoters to preach on the streets.
Yet faced with a single mother needing just a can of formula, these organizations' operators rejected the request outright.
However, the same request made to smaller charities and religious institutions was accepted by all of them.
This discrepancy in outcomes is largely because large organizations require most of their members to become qualified cogs in the machine.
They shouldn't have their own thoughts or opinions but should adhere to rules and regulations.
If it's not specified in the rules to help single mothers seeking aid, then don't help them.
As for the religious texts that clearly state the need to help vulnerable groups, that's not important.
For companies like Tengxu, the rules clearly require these managers to help increase the company's profits.
So Wu Changxun only needs to focus on the company's profit growth. User experience doesn't matter.
Unless users on the platform abandon the software in large numbers because of things like splash screen ads.
So, when a large company starts talking about conscience and focusing on user experience, it's usually because the company is near its end.
"Since I've invested in Li Tiaotiao, I'll support Li Tiaotiao in helping all mobile users skip software splash ads and popup ads."
Chen Yiyang straightforwardly expressed his determination to Wu Changxun, "If you don't agree, you can sue me."
Chen Yiyang's assertiveness caught Wu Changxun by surprise.
He stared at Chen Yiyang for a long time before saying, "Then let's wait and see."
Once Wu Changxun left, Chen Yiyang knew that their relationship would likely become much more distant.
But he didn't regret it.
Growing apart from Tengxu was destined. He wasn't deliberately trying to frustrate Tengxu, but just couldn't stand these domestic internet companies disregarding individual users.
Now, he's become an undeniable force in the domestic business scene and he really believes he can handle this situation.
The next day, Chen Yiyang went out to meet some of the big players in the Imperial Capital's car-making circle to exchange industry information.
"Aside from the decision to reduce the purchase tax for new energy vehicles to only half, the authorities have decided to introduce a new regulation." Zhao Feipeng, who also came to the Imperial Capital, revealed a piece of news to Chen Yiyang.
"What regulation?" Chen Yiyang asked.
"The new national standard for new energy cars will directly stipulate that future new energy vehicles must have speed limits. For plug-in hybrid vehicles and other new energy passenger cars, the 0-100 km/h acceleration time must not be less than five seconds by default each time they start up."
This news from Zhao Feipeng was something Chen Yiyang hadn't heard of before.
But Zhao Feipeng showed Chen Yiyang a part of the original text someone sent him, which stated: Every time a passenger vehicle starts, it should be in a default state where the 0-100 km/h acceleration time is not less than 5 seconds. Meanwhile, pure electric and plug-in hybrid passenger vehicles should have an acceleration suppression feature for pedal missteps, able to detect and suppress power output when stationary or crawling, and alert the driver with an obvious signal device (such as sound or light signals).
"This is actually good news for Yiyang Automobile." After reading the text, Chen Yiyang immediately thought that this regulation is a blow to mid-to-high-end new energy cars, but it's good news for low-end cars.
In the era of new energy vehicles, due to fierce competition, manufacturers are contending in every detail.
Among them, acceleration of new energy vehicles is an important aspect of the rivalry.
Because now, in mid-to-high-end new energy vehicles, acceleration times are getting faster and faster. If you can achieve a five-second acceleration, then I can achieve a four-second acceleration.
Yet, a few years ago, the 0-100 km/h acceleration for a normal family fuel car was more than ten seconds.
