Technological Hegemony

Silicon Valley, Google headquarters.

Larry Page and Sheldon Brin have never been more battered than they are today,

In just two days, they experienced huge ups and downs from earth to heaven, and from heaven to hell.

When the company's stock price exceeded US$1.3 trillion, the two founders reveled all night long, believing that the earth science and technology world would usher in a new era dominated by Google.

But when the news of the Big Four turning their backs on Huaxia's side came, the two founders felt that they had fallen into a bottomless abyss again.

They couldn't believe that the Big Four dared to abandon them and completely threw themselves into the embrace of Xingchen Technology.

At this moment, their phone calls have been ringing. Google is a listed company with a long list of Wall Street giants standing behind it. The existence of a listed company is to be responsible to shareholders.

They are not like Luo Jia, Luo Jia's company is not listed, and it seems that there is no plan to go public in the future.

So Luo Jia only needs to be responsible for himself and his employees, and he doesn't need to look at the faces of capitalists.

Luo Jia didn't even need to publish the financial statements. Since its establishment, how much money Star Technology has made and how much it has spent is completely a mystery.

"How did this happen? They were supposed to go home for the Spring Festival, that's their tradition." Sergey Brin muttered with straight eyes.

I'm afraid that Mr. Sergey's research on China is still not deep enough. He doesn't know that it is a tradition to go home during the Spring Festival, and it is also a tradition in China to stand firm in the face of big right and wrong.

Sergey Brin rubbed his temples, his dry eyes burst out with a light as cold as the Siberian cold current.

"No matter what, we must not let Xingchen Technology enter the game."

"Nip their plans in the bud!"

Larry Page nodded heavily.

Internet companies rely on traffic to make a living. Once they lose billions of Android users, it will definitely be a disaster.

Sergey raised his head and looked at his partner, "How many cards do we have now?"

"A lot!" Larry Page said in a deep voice, "We have hundreds of billions of cash that can be used, and there are AI systems that the Big Four are very interested in."

"Huawei is still completely blocked in the United States. We can use our relationship in Congress to help them lift the ban and help them enter the U.S. market they dream of. Of course, our old friend Mr. Cook will call us traitors again. "

"But we are Google, one of the most powerful Internet technology groups on the planet, and our trump card is by no means comparable to Star Technology!"

"Very good!" Sergey Brin stood up with a murderous look on his face, "Let's contact the Big Four immediately, exchange terms with them, and block these barbarians from the operating system field at all costs." outside!"

"Also, our friends in the authorities, it's time to do something."

 …

Star Technology, Baoshan headquarters.

The large conference room was packed with people, and everyone was standing because there were not enough seats.

In the short time since its establishment, Star Technology has always maintained full-speed development.

Today, the company has 800 people in the software department, 1,000 people in the hardware department, plus the patent department, legal department, finance department, human resources department, administration department, and business operation department. These six auxiliary departments have a total of more than 3,000 people. It's not a small company anymore.

Luo Jia stood on the stage, looking across the group of cute steel straight men.

In fact, the hardware department has announced a holiday decision, and half of the staff in other departments can go home for the New Year, and there is no need for all staff to stay behind.

But the tough guy spirit has already become the nature of Xingchen Technology, and it has penetrated into the bone marrow.

At this moment, what Luo Jia saw standing on the stage was not like a team of a technology company, but more like an army flowing with blood and passion.

With a smile on his face, Luo Jia said, "First of all, I would like to congratulate the software department. You have succeeded. After half a year of hard work day and night, you finally came up with a top-level operating system with global competitiveness!"

"Good job!"

"The software department is mighty!"

"Long live programmers!"

Crazy applause rang out in the meeting room, and the straight men of steel roared out their heartfelt voices.

After half a year of hard work, the software department is finally proud.

In the past six months, they have watched the hardware department sweep many battlefields like a rainbow.

But I was writing boring code silently, doing system tests over and over again, and I can't say that I didn't feel aggrieved at all.

But now, no matter where the people in the software department go, they are cheering one after another.

That's awesome, these guys who wrote programs actually created the operating system without making a sound! Even the uncles and aunts in the cafeteria praised it and advised them to eat more to replenish their bodies.

By the way, Xingchen Technology actually has women. There are about fifty or sixty women in the cafeteria and sweeping aunts.

Luo Jia paused, "The second thing is that Google has already made some moves. They sent representatives to negotiate with the Big Four. The two founders, Larry Page and Sheldon Brin, also gave special They always wrote an email and offered us a price that is hard to imagine, as long as they don't change the operating system, Google is willing to pay a sky-high price."

The straight men of steel looked at each other. Everyone knew the strength of Google, and they didn't know whether the Big Four could stand up to their sugar-coated bullets?

If the Big Four backed down, it would be too embarrassing for Star Technology.

Luo Jia took out a piece of printing paper and said into the microphone, "Now, I will read Mr. Ren's reply to them for everyone."

"Dear Mr. Larry Page, Mr. Sergey Brin."

"The letter has been received, and the reply is as follows."

"Please stop this heart."

"above."

There was silence in the meeting room at first, and then cheers burst out!

Everyone was shocked by Mr. Ren's domineering yet humorous reply.

Luo Jia waited until the cheers subsided, and said in a deep voice, "Since we have taken this step, we will never retreat."

"Tomorrow's New Year's Eve, the company will hold a Spring Festival dinner. You are welcome to bring your relatives and friends to attend. All expenses for family members traveling to and from Shanghai, including accommodation and air tickets, will be paid by the company."

"On the second day of the new year, that is, on February 6th, we will officially launch a war against Google."

"Since they won't let us celebrate the New Year, they won't have to celebrate the New Year from now on."

 …

The day for the official start of the war was finally set.

In the evening of the second day of junior high school, the Big Four will join hands with Xingchen Technology to launch the Xingchen system with independent intellectual property rights, and fight to the death with Google for the supremacy of the operating system.

As soon as the news came out, the world boiled.

Chinese netizens have been looking forward to this day for a long time, and those who eat melons outside of China also want to see what the operating system developed by Xingchen Technology looks like.

After all, in the past year, Star Technology has brought too many incredible miracles to the world. This time they will attack in the field of operating system again, and everyone is looking forward to it.

"Although I haven't watched the Spring Festival Gala for many years, this technology Spring Festival Gala is still a must-see."

"Why is it the night of the second day of junior high school? It would be great if it was placed on New Year's Eve."

"What are you thinking? Going to smash the stage of the Spring Festival Gala will be boring, and CCTV will definitely explode."

"Upstairs is correct. If the press conference is held on New Year's Eve, no one will watch the Spring Festival Gala."

"Everyone who celebrates the Chinese New Year is on holiday. I estimate that the number of viewers this time will definitely set a record."

"That's a must! I can't wait for the domestic operating system!"

Netizens were arguing that the so-called Xingchen Technology to compete with the Spring Festival Gala was purely a joke, and everyone knew it was impossible.

But this time the commotion was so loud that it shocked the whole of China and even the whole world.

At the same time, the resistance they faced this time was also unprecedented.

Judging from the news sent back from the other side of the Pacific Ocean, some people in the North American authorities are very unhappy about the strong counterattack of Star Technology and the Big Four.
