Chapter 97 Night Party

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

Whether it is Weibo, WeChat, social media like this, or professional forums where programmers and semiconductor practitioners appear, or even two-dimensional video websites like Bilibili, all posts and videos focus on the Chinese mobile phone industry.

The rumors of Android charging have finally been confirmed. On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, there are only four days left before New Year's Eve.

The time for the official start of charge is one week after the announcement is issued, that is, at 9:00 a.m. on the third day of the Chinese New Year.

This time, people's attention to the mobile phone industry is far more important than in the past. Although many major events have occurred in the mobile phone industry in the past year, none of them can be compared with today.

After tragic battles after fierce battles, almost all those who survived the mobile phone industry were Chinese players.

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

"It's bad. The four giants have just fought fiercely. They finally broke the hegemony of Apple and Samsung and successfully topped the world's four major mobile phone companies. Google jumped out to pick fruits."

"Then what's the solution? Who made the four giants use the Android system?"

"Didn't Huawei have its own system? You can just leave Google alone."

"It's not that simple. Platform migration is very troublesome. Starting a new platform is simple. The difficult thing is how to pan all millions of applications."

"In fact, there are ways to increase the price. Google charges the usage fees of the four giants, and the four giants charge consumers. Anyway, the people will suffer losses in the end."

"Each phone is forty dollars? Wouldn't each of us pay tribute to Google in the future? I'm so angry!"

People were talking about it on major forums.

There has never been a free lunch in this world. In fact, whether it is charged or free, it is just a different business model. In the end, consumers will have to pay for it.

It’s just that Google’s decision to charge is too sudden, and it also chose the most important Spring Festival in China, which makes people doubt their motives.

The mobile phone wars were overturned before, and Google did not provide ammunition to the Big Four.

If it weren't for Xingchen Technology, this group of the toughest guys in the Chinese technology industry would have emerged, and the four giants would have probably been doomed.

On the contrary, the war ended and the dust settled. After the four giants broke through the fierce war of tragic wars of no expense, they finally won the global market. Google suddenly jumped out to pick fruits. This practice is really offensive.

As Marx said in the Thesaurus of Capital, when capital comes to the world, it is bloody and needs to squeeze out the last drop of blood from people.

The difference is that some capitals are smarter. They quietly make money, try not to attract attention, and do not eat alone, choose to share benefits with everyone, establish an alliance of mutual trust, gather increasingly powerful forces, and jointly cope with the difficulties and turmoil of the world.

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

......

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

When the plane landed, the sky was getting darker and the lights were just on.

Google's choice to cause trouble during the Chinese New Year was beyond Luo Jia's expectations.

It turns out to be a group of foreigners. It seems that Google does not understand the significance of the Spring Festival to Chinese people at all.

Luo Jia’s parents have returned to Pengcheng at this moment and are busy with the New Year.

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

In short, even though the New Year atmosphere is getting weaker and weaker, it is still the top priority in the minds of Chinese people.

Those guys from Google don’t feel at ease during the New Year. This is a big taboo and will be retribution.

An emergency meeting of the four giants was held at the Huawei headquarters in Songshan Lake, Dongguan.

Vivo and Oper's headquarters are also here, and everyone is very close to each other. As for Xiaomi, which is headquartered in Beijing, there is no choice but to work hard for Mr. Lei to travel to the south.

As soon as Luo Jia got off the car, he met General Ren's secretary. He looked nervous. In fact, everyone in Huawei now seems particularly serious.

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

"So fast?"

"Mr. Lei happened to be on a business trip in Guangzhou, so he came here directly, and a special guest came."

"That's how it is, who is the special guest you are talking about?" Luo Jia asked.

The secretary lowered his voice and said, "It's the president of Apple, Mr. Cook. It is said that he happened to be in the Hong Kong government. After getting the news, he gave up his itinerary and came to us."

Cook is here too?

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

"I don't know. I am not qualified to attend a meeting of this level. I can only go in when Mr. Ren calls me." The secretary said, spreading his arms helplessly.

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

The secretary was frightened and hurriedly said, "Mr. Luo, don't joke!"

......

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

After Luo Jia followed the secretary a few steps, he saw the tall and thin Mr. Cook and his translator come out of the conference room.

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

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

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

It turns out that Cook, the smart businessman, came with conditions.

He proposed to cooperate with the Big Four. As long as the Big Four leaves the Google camp, Apple will be willing to provide them with technical support and develop an iOS-based operating system.

The quieter Luo Jia acted, the more curious the big guys became.

Mr. Ren finally couldn't help it and said to Luo Jia, "You came from Shanghai overnight. You just wanted to see the tragic situation of us being slaughtered, right?"

Luo Jia chuckled, and he stood up, instead of looking at the big guys present, but looked out the window in a daze. Songshan Lake in the middle of the night was quiet and deep, surrounded by goose yellow lights.

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

"When I was a child, I went to my classmates' house to play. They had a big house and there was a game room in the house, filled with comics and figures I couldn't afford, and an astronomical telescope was installed at the window. I envied my classmates. After I came back, I muttered to my mother that my mother taught me that the golden nest was not as good as my own doghouse."

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

"Later I gradually realized that no matter what someone has at home, it's their own. Students can lend you the comics, but you have to pay them back sooner or later. No matter how shabby your home is, it's something you own."

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

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

You entered the venue?

Everyone was stunned. Xingchen Technology was preparing to build an operating system!?

Xiaomi's President Lei smiled bitterly and said in his Wuhan-style Mandarin, "I don't doubt the strength of Xingchen Technology, but now there is no time. At 9 am, the third day of the lunar month, we must give Google a reply."

Luo Jia suddenly laughed, and a sharp light burst out from his eyes. He strode to the door of the conference room and waved outside.

Then An Ran and Li Moran 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, poured the things in the suitcase on the table, like a hill, full of a lot.
Chapter completed!
