Technological Hegemony

It was already late at night, but the Huawei headquarters on the shore of Songshan Lake was still brightly lit.

In the history of Huawei, working overtime is nothing new, but today it is different. Employees are not buried in work, but are anxiously waiting for the decision of the highest level.

It is by no means an easy decision to team up with Xingchen Technology to encircle and suppress Google and compete for the hegemony of the operating system.

The interests involved are too great, and a little carelessness will push the company into the abyss of eternal doom.

The meeting room fell silent. Everyone has seen the star system, it is very powerful.

A person as confident as Zong Ren Ren has to admit that Xingchen's system is much better than his own, and it does not exist on the same level.

"Is it compatible with Android apps?" Mr. Ren asked.

"All compatible." Luo Jia said confidently, "All Android apps can be used in the Star system, seamless switching."

"Has the testing tool been developed?"

"Yes, it is currently stored on our server, ready for all partners to download and test." Luo Jia said calmly.

The meeting room fell silent again. It turned out that Luo Jia had already prepared everything and was waiting for them to nod.

Xiaomi's Mr. Lei suddenly scratched his head with his hands and stood up angrily. Luo Jia noticed that his eyes were a little red.

"Damn, it's so fucking exciting, someone give me a cigarette." Boss Lei cursed rarely, and then reached out to ask the people present for cigarettes.

Luo Jia took out a box of Soft China and threw one to Mr. Lei.

In the end, Mr. Ren grabbed the whole pack of cigarettes, roughly tore open the pack, took out one from inside, lit it with Luo Jia's lighter, and smoked vigorously.

Others also came over to get cigarettes one after another, and returned to their respective positions, puffing away in silence.

"Actually, I have quit smoking for many years."

"Who isn't?" Everyone said one after another.

Mr. Ren picked up the phone, called the secretary, and asked him to bring in the ashtray.

The secretary said that there was no ashtray because the whole company was non-smoking. Mr. Ren hung up the phone and put a teacup on hand.

"It's too involved." Mr. Ren frowned, "Maybe he will play himself in, your Star Technology is also a domestic giant-level company, I'm really not afraid to annoy Google's backstage, I will give you a global blockade?"

"This is an operating system. No one in the world has it, only Americans have it!"

"Assuming there is an operating system in the world that is not controlled by the United States, they will definitely retaliate, and believe me, they will definitely."

Luo Jia smiled, "Why are you not afraid? Of course I am afraid of revenge from the Americans. After all, they are the only super country on earth."

"But there are some things that we have to do even if we are afraid, because if we don't do it now, we may never have a chance in the future."

"Just like Microsoft, it is difficult for anyone to challenge the hegemony of WINDOWS in the field of computer operating systems, because we have used it for too long and everyone is used to it."

"However, the operating system of mobile phones is different. It has not been so long since the evolution from feature phones to smart phones, and the habits have not yet been deeply ingrained."

"Having our own operating system and not having our own operating system are completely different concepts. Although it is only a mobile phone platform now, it is not impossible for us to develop into tablets in the future and even challenge the desktop computer field. "

"And if not, we will always be at the mercy of others."

Everyone didn't speak, and they all understood the truth, but now everyone is different from the past, with a big family and a big business, and if they gamble with their wealth and life on an uncertain future, everyone will have concerns in their hearts.

Mr. Ren raised his head and stared at Luo Jia, "Tell me, how determined are you this time?"

Luo Jia shrugged, "Donghai University hasn't expelled me yet,

I was ready to lose everything and go back to school. "

 …

It was a rough night.

From dusk to midnight, and from midnight to early morning, Luo Jia and the bigwigs representing the Big Four had an extremely in-depth discussion.

The temptation is obvious. Luo Jia has always been a very trusted partner. He promised that the star system will be free forever, and Cook promised to help the Big Four build an IOS-based system. The effect is completely different.

It is no exaggeration to say that the four giants are able to have what they are today, because Star Technology has brought them to the position of dominance in the global mobile phone industry by relying on its own strength.

If they don't believe in Luo Jia, they might as well find a tree with a crooked neck and smash it to death.

However, the consequences of failure are equally terrifying.

Google is not fighting alone. It represents the interests of Wall Street financial giants, Silicon Valley, and even the hegemony of the US authorities in the field of operating systems.

Once this step is taken, no one can predict what kind of crazy chain reaction it will have.

Throughout the night, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive and anxious.

Mr. Ren, who is getting older, has hair falling down in bunches. A group of people who don't smoke at all, the meeting room where they smoke is covered in clouds and mist. When the sun rises the next day, everyone's eyeballs are red.

Luo Jia was very calm. He didn't make any impassioned speeches, nor did he use the supply chain he controlled to force anyone.

After all, they can become allies with Luo Jia because of trust and cooperation. Luo Jia wants to go to the mountain of swords, and there is no reason to force them to go together.

Besides, these are the top leaders in the industry. It is impossible for them not to understand the significance of an operating system with Huaxia's independent intellectual property rights.

The sky was finally bright, and Mr. Ren stubbed out the cigarette butt in his teacup.

"Let's decide like this!" Mr. Ren said with a hoarse voice but resolutely: "If we win, we will leave a huge mark in the history of science and technology. If we lose, we will start all over again!"

Mr. Lei from Xiaomi laughed, "Yeah, at worst, I can go back and write programs. To tell you the truth, I was a very good programmer back then."

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

An important decision enough to rewrite history was reached amidst laughter.

Star Technology will join hands with the four giants of China's mobile phone industry for the second time!

Huawei's headquarters, which had been waiting for the whole night, was instantly ebullient, and the other three giants, as well as Xingchen Technology in Shanghai, also received this exciting news at the same time.

"It's time to fight!"

"The Big Four and Xingchen Technology have joined forces again, and this time we are going to fight against Google! We will have a big fight around the crucial field of the operating system!"

Everyone rushed to tell each other. Although they didn't sleep all night, these elites in the technology industry felt unparalleled excitement at the moment.

After all, being able to occupy a place in the field of operating systems is something that generations of technologists have dreamed of!

By the Songshan Lake, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they turned around and found that Mr. Ren was looking through the address book with his mobile phone, looking very serious.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Mr. Ren gave a wry smile, "You don't think it's just a matter of our five families when it's such a big deal?"

"I have a hunch that this battle may turn into a peak duel between Silicon Valley and China, the two major technology groups."

"So, we need more friendly troops."

Luo Jia was slightly taken aback, and asked curiously, "Who are you calling?"

Mr. Ren glanced at Luo Jia, then pressed the dial button and put the phone to his ear.

"Ma Yun." Mr. Ren said.

At this point, there are still six days left before the deadline set by Google.
