Recently, a "war of words" about car mobile phone holders in the Internet circle has made the people who eat melons happy, and the core figure who triggered this heated discussion is Zhou Hongyi, chairman of Qihoo 360. When he commented on Huawei's executive director Yu Chengdong's views on the mobile phone holder, he not only ridiculed Yu Chengdong's "straight man in science and engineering" attributes, but also strongly supported Xiaomi's founder Lei Jun's deep understanding of user needs, especially emphasizing the practical consideration of privacy protection.

The matter originated at the Huawei Zhijie S7 press conference, Yu Chengdong bluntly expressed his confusion about the existence of the car mobile phone holder. He believes that since they have their own powerful intelligent driving system, drivers should say goodbye to mobile phone navigation and rely on car navigation. According to Yu Chengdong's logic, those car owners who are still using mobile phone holders may be distrustful of the navigation performance of their own cars. This statement seems to be logical, but in fact it ignores the subtle details of life.
Zhou Hongyi didn't plan to let go of this "slot", he took over the conversation and jokingly pointed out that Yu Chengdong's remarks exposed his "straight man in science and engineering". In Zhou Hongyi's view, although Yu Chengdong has unique insights at the technical level, it seems that he still needs to improve in figuring out human nature, especially the psychology of male drivers.
He joked that if male drivers really follow Yu Chengdong's advice and completely abandon mobile phone navigation, I am afraid that they will face the risk of their girlfriends "checking the post" - you know, many people use mobile phone navigation when driving not for navigation needs, but cleverly use it to cover up their whereabouts and avoid unnecessary questions and misunderstandings. This ridicule instantly exploded in the comment area, and netizens said: "Zhou Dacang broke the sky in one sentence, Yu Chengche understands technology better, Lei Jun understands users better, and Zhou Hongyi understands Lei Jun better!"
Zhou Hongyi further praised Lei Jun's insight into the treatment of mobile phone holders. He believes that Xiaomi fully takes into account the user's need for privacy when designing the car machine system.
Even though Xiaomi's car navigation function is already quite good, it still retains support for mobile phone holders, precisely because of the delicate grasp of the user's actual application scenarios. Lei Jun is well aware that in modern society, the mobile phone is not only a navigation tool, but also an integrated carrier of personal information, including sensitive data such as call records, chat messages, and location history.
In private spaces such as cars, many people choose to use mobile phones instead of car navigation, precisely to enjoy convenience while retaining a sense of autonomy in personal space.
Summing up this "scaffold dispute", Zhou Hongyi revealed a truth in a relaxed and humorous tone: no matter how advanced technology is, we cannot ignore the complexity and changeability of human nature. Although Yu Chengdong's perspective of "straight man in science and engineering" points to the core of the problem, it seems to be a bit "tendonal" in the integration of real-life situations.
In contrast, Lei Jun is better at capturing user psychology and integrating product design into the subtle texture of daily life, which undoubtedly wins him more market reputation and user loyalty.
It is worth mentioning that after Yu Chengdong ridiculed, Lei Jun also conducted a questionnaire survey in a serious manner, asking netizens if they supported it, and the car came with an original mobile phone holder.
The survey results show that the vast majority of netizens support the original mobile phone holder in the car, and sure enough, Lei Jun understands consumer psychology and marketing better.
This "joke talk" triggered by Zhou Hongyi tells us that in the world of technology products, only by understanding users can we win the recognition of users.
