Technological Hegemony

Chapter 97 Evening party

In just a few hours, an unprecedented turmoil swept across the land of China.

Whether it's Weibo, WeChat, social media like this, or professional forums where programmers and semiconductor practitioners hang out, or even on two-dimensional video sites like Station B, all posts and videos focus on Huaxia mobile phones. industry.

The rumor of Android charging was finally confirmed. On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, there were only four days left before New Year's Eve.

The official start of charging time is one week after the announcement, that is, nine o'clock in the morning on the third day of the new year.

This time, people pay more attention to the mobile phone industry than before. Although many major events have happened in the mobile phone industry in the past year, none of them can be compared with today.

After one after another of the tragic battles, the last survivors in the mobile phone industry are almost all Chinese players.

Google's charging strategy is equivalent to the concept of forcing Chinese manufacturers to pay protection fees.

"This is too bad. The Big Four have just fought fiercely, finally broke the hegemony of Apple and Samsung, and succeeded in becoming the top four mobile phone companies in the world. Google jumped out to pick the fruit."

"Then what can be done? Who made the Big Four use the Android system?"

"Didn't you say that Huawei has its own system? Just get rid of Google and do it alone."

"It's not that simple. Platform migration is very troublesome. It's easy to start a new platform. The hard part is how to translate all the millions of applications."

"Actually, there is a way to increase the price. Google charges the Big Four for usage fees, and the Big Four collects usage fees for consumers. Anyway, it is the common people who suffer in the end."

"Forty dollars per phone? Doesn't that mean that each of us will pay tribute to Google in the future? How angry!"

On the major forums, people talked about it.

There has never been a free lunch in this world. In fact, no matter whether it is charged or free, it is just a difference in the business model. In the end, consumers need to pay for it.

It's just that Google's decision to charge was too sudden, and it was chosen during the most important Spring Festival in China, which makes people doubt their motives.

The mobile phone war was turned upside down before, and Google did not provide ammunition to the Big Four.

If it weren't for Xingchen Technology, the most tough guy in the Chinese science and technology world turned out to be out of nowhere, and the Big Four would have been doomed.

On the contrary, the war is over and the dust has settled. The four giants, through a fierce war at all costs, broke through the siege of Samsung and Apple, and finally won the global market. After Google suddenly jumped out to pick the fruit, this approach is really disgusting. .

As Marx said in Das Kapital, when capital comes to the world, it is bloody, and it wants to drain the last drop of human blood.

The difference is that some capitals are smarter. They collect money quietly, try not to attract attention, and do not eat alone. They choose to share benefits with everyone, build an alliance of mutual trust, and gather more and more powerful forces to deal with this problem together. The peril and turmoil of the world.

There are also some capitals, they are too greedy and want too much.

 …

Luo Jia flew to Shenzhen on the afternoon of February 1st, and brought the two vice presidents of the company, An Ran and Li Moran.

When the plane landed, it was getting dark and the lights were on.

Google chose to do something during the Chinese New Year, which also exceeded Luo Jia's expectations.

Sure enough, it was a group of foreigners. It seems that Google has no idea what the Spring Festival means to Chinese people.

Luo Jia's parents have returned to Pengcheng at this moment, and they are busy with the new year.

Home hygiene needs to be cleaned, Spring Festival couplets, lanterns, firecrackers must be fully prepared, and food and drink should be filled in the refrigerator. During the Chinese New Year, many relatives and friends will definitely come to pay New Year’s greetings. The more tea, candy and melon seeds, the better.

All in all, even though the taste of the new year is getting weaker and weaker now, it is still the top priority in the minds of Chinese people.

The guys at Google will not let people live in peace for a year,

This is taboo and will be punished.

The emergency meeting of the Big Four was held at the Huawei headquarters in Songshan Lake, Dongguan.

The headquarters of Weiwo and Opal are also here, and everyone is very close to each other. As for Xiaomi, whose headquarters are in the capital, there is no choice but to go to the south with Mr. Lei.

As soon as Luo Jia got out of the car, he saw Mr. Ren's secretary. He looked nervous. In fact, everyone in Huawei now looked very serious.

"The meeting has been going on for more than four hours." Mr. Ren's secretary said to Luo Jia.

"So fast?"

"Boss Lei just happened to be on a business trip in Guangzhou, so he came over directly, and a special guest also came."

"Well, who is that special guest you're talking about?" Luo Jia asked.

The secretary said in a low voice, "It's the president of Apple, Mr. Cook. It is said that he just happened to be in transit at the Hong Kong government. After getting the news, he gave up the trip and came to us."

Cook is here too?

Luo Jia frowned, "Do you know why he came?"

"I don't know. I'm not qualified to participate in meetings of this level. I can only enter when Mr. Ren calls me." The secretary said, spreading his arms helplessly.

Luo Jia smiled, "I don't know if I'm qualified, but listen to what the big guys are talking about?"

The secretary panicked and said quickly, "Mr. Luo, stop joking!"

 …

A few minutes later, the secretary brought the news that Mr. Ren invited Luo Jia to the meeting room.

After Luo Jia followed the secretary for a few steps, he saw the tall and thin Mr. Cook and his interpreter coming out of the meeting room.

Cook didn't know Luo Jia, so he regarded him as an ordinary staff member, and nodded politely.

After entering the conference room, Luo Jia greeted her, pulled a chair and sat beside her.

He didn't interrupt, just listened quietly to what Mr. Ren and the others were talking about.

It turned out that Cook, a shrewd businessman, came with conditions.

He proposed to cooperate with the Big Four. As long as the Big Four leave the Google camp, Apple is willing to provide them with technical support and develop an operating system based on IOS.

The quieter Luo Jia was, the more curious the bosses became.

Mr. Ren finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said to Luo Jia, "You came here overnight from Shanghai, you don't just want to see us being slaughtered?"

Luo Jia chuckled, and he stood up. He didn't look at the bosses present, but looked out of the window in a daze. The Songshan Lake was quiet and deep at night, surrounded by goose yellow lights.

"Actually, there is no essential difference between the Android camp and the IOS camp." Luo Jia said, "This camp, that camp, whatever they do, they are all other people's camps."

"When I was young, I went to play at my classmate's house. Their house had a big house, and there was a game room in the house filled with comics and figurines that I couldn't afford. There was an astronomical telescope in the window. I was very envious of my classmates. Mom murmured, Mom taught me that golden nests and silver nests are not as good as my own doghouse."

"I didn't understand it at the time. It's obviously more interesting to live in a classmate's house. If possible, I really want to live in a classmate's house, read his comics every day, and play with his figures and remote control cars."

"Later, I gradually realized that no matter what is in someone's home, it is also theirs. A classmate can lend you comics, but you have to return them sooner or later, and no matter how shabby your home is, it is something you own. "

After Luo Jia finished speaking, she turned her head, glanced at the faces of several big shots, and then said in a serious tone.

"To be honest, we are about to enter this game about the operating system!"

You enter?

Everyone was startled, Star Technology is preparing to develop an operating system! ?

Mr. Lei from Xiaomi smiled wryly, and said in his Wuhan-style Mandarin, "I don't doubt the strength of Xingchen Technology, but there is no time now. We must give Google an answer at 9:00 am on the third day at the latest."

Luo Jia laughed suddenly, his eyes burst into sharp light, he strode to the door of the conference room and waved to the outside.

Immediately, An Ran and Li Moran each dragged a huge suitcase into the conference room.

Luo Jia stretched out his arms, pushed the documents on the table aside, then opened the two suitcases, and dumped the contents of the suitcases on the table, like a hill, full of piles.
