Technological Supremacy Chapter 103: Please kill this heart
Silicon Valley, Google headquarters.
Larry Page and Sheldon Brin have never been so devastated as 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 1.3 trillion US dollars, the two founders had a carnival all night, believing that the earth's technology world would usher in a new era dominated by Google.
But when the news of Huaxia's Big Four turning their backs came, the two founders felt like they had fallen into a bottomless abyss again.
They couldn't believe that the Big Four dared to abandon them and completely embraced 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 doesn'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 a complete mystery.
"How could this be? 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.
"In any case, 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?"
"A lot!" Larry Page said in a deep voice, "We have hundreds of billions of cash that can be used, and we have an AI system 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 American market they dream of. Of course, our old friend Mr. Cook will scold us again. A traitor."
"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 that of 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 operating at all costs." Outside the system domain!"
"In addition, our friends in the authorities should also take action."
...
Star Technology, Baoshan headquarters.
The large conference room was packed with people, and because there were not enough seats, everyone was standing.
In the short period of time since its establishment, Xingchen 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. The total number of the six auxiliary departments exceeds Sanqian is no longer a small company.
Standing on the stage, Luo Jia glanced at this group of cute straight men of steel.
In fact, the hardware department has already 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!"
In the conference room, there was crazy applause, and the straight men of steel roared from the bottom of their hearts.
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.
But I was silently writing boring codes and doing system tests over and over again. 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.
It's amazing, these guys who wrote the program quietly created the operating system! 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, "Second thing, Google has already made some moves. They sent representatives to negotiate with the Big Four. The two founders, Larry Page and Sheldon Brin, also I wrote a special email to Mr. Ren and offered a price that we can hardly 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 in blank dismay. Everyone knew the strength of Google, and they wondered whether the Big Four could stand up to their sugar-coated shells?
If the Big Four backed down, it would be too embarrassing for Xingchen Technology.
Luo Jia took out a piece of printing paper and said into the microphone, "Now, I will read Mr. Ren's reply letter to them."
"Dear Mr. Larry Page, Mr. Sergey Brin."
"The letter has been received, and the reply is as follows."
"Please stop thinking about it."
"Above."
The meeting room was silent at first, and then burst into cheers!
Everyone was shocked by Mr. Ren's domineering yet humorous reply.
After the cheers subsided, Luo Jia 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 participate. 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 don't let us celebrate the New Year~IndoMTL.com~, from now on, they don't have to celebrate the New Year."
...
The day for the official start of the war has finally been set.
On 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 whole world boiled.
Huaxia netizens have been looking forward to this day for a long time, and those who eat melons overseas also want to see what the operating system developed by Xingchen Technology looks like.
After all, in the past year, Xingchen 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 about? Going to smash the stage of the Spring Festival Gala will be boring. CCTV will definitely blow your hair."
"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 Chinese New Year is on holiday. I estimate that the number of viewers this time will definitely set a record."
"That's a must! Domestic operating system, I can't wait!"
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.
