Chapter 233: Chapter 233: Xia Wei Group’s Trouble (Part 2)
Ye Ling, having been in one, was clearer than anyone about the harm a single-parent family could inflict on a child.
That sense of loneliness was something children from ordinary families could never possibly understand!
It was precisely because he understood this that he was so grateful to Ye Feng. If his father hadn’t given him love and care from a young age, doing his utmost to make up for the absence of a mother’s love, he probably...
’Would have been left with childhood trauma, right?’
"You don’t have to think so much about it anymore! My home is your home. You can think of my dad as your dad, and my mom as your mom!"
Ning Ruoxi turned her little head, her expression earnest as she said,
"And let me tell you, my mom is super nice and incredibly gentle. She’ll definitely like you a lot."
"Thank you."
Seeing Ning Ruoxi’s earnest expression, Ye Ling couldn’t help but kiss her on the forehead.
Instantly, Ning Ruoxi’s eyes crinkled in bliss as she broke into a silly grin.
"Then I’ll take you home this winter break."
A corner of Ye Ling’s mouth lifted as he spoke again.
Hearing this, Ning Ruoxi’s little face immediately fell again. "But I’m still a little nervous..."
"Don’t worry. Didn’t you meet my dad last time he came? The old man really likes you. Makes me wonder who the biological child is."
Ye Ling huffed.
To be honest, if he hadn’t grown up with Ye Feng and gotten used to his ’sharp tongue but soft heart,’ he would probably have to seriously consider whether he was picked out of a trash can.
Ning Ruoxi burst out laughing, and with that sound, the last bit of anxiety in her heart vanished completely because of what Ye Ling said.
"Then if you bully me again, I’ll have Uncle Ye beat you up!"
As she spoke, Ning Ruoxi even excitedly brandished her little fists.
Black lines couldn’t help but appear on Ye Ling’s forehead.
So.
’Does this mean my status in the family is dropping another notch before we’re even married?’
「 ... 」
Time flew by, and the semester at Modu University finally came to a close.
Ye Ling had been going to campus less frequently during this period, mainly because the design and construction of the Noah operating system had reached its final stages. He planned to rush the progress and try to finish it before the end of the semester.
Meanwhile, on the international stage, the Xia Wei Group was suddenly hit by a massive storm.
Just yesterday, the United States’ Guge Company announced it was officially restricting the Xia Wei Group’s use of the Little Green People operating system. Subsequently, several other overseas high-tech companies announced they were severing their cooperation with the Xia Wei Group.
This piece of news instantly swept across the entire world!
Because this meant that all future phones produced by the Xia Wei Group would no longer be able to use the Little Green People operating system.
’This is so shameless! So many business conglomerates ganging up to attack the Xia Wei Group?’
’So what is the Xia Wei Group supposed to do now? If they can’t use the Little Green People operating system, aren’t they completely paralyzed?’
’Support domestic products! I’m going to buy a Xia Wei Group phone right now!’
’I suggest everyone stop buying Fruit brand phones from now on!’
’Is the person above me joking? Fruit brand phones are just good. Why should I settle for second best?’
’You’re the one who’s joking! The quality of domestic phones is pretty good now. Is it wrong to support domestic products?’
’Exactly! I don’t see what’s so great about Fruit brand phones. Making payments is not convenient at all. Support domestic!’
’If we don’t even support our own country’s mobile phone companies, who will?’
「 ... 」
At the same time, on all of Xia Country’s major media websites, numerous consumers from Xia Country expressed their fury.
This time, these overseas high-tech companies had truly gone too far. How could they gang up to suppress the Xia Wei Group?
’Some people may not have realized the severity of the situation. The Xia Wei Group isn’t just a company that sells phones. At the same time, it also holds a huge market share in the 5G sector. That’s the real reason those business conglomerates want to attack the Xia Wei Group!’
’That’s right! To put it bluntly, the Xia Wei Group just developed too quickly and threatened their big piece of the profit pie!’
’The person above gets it!’
Almost all of Xia Country’s major online forums were discussing this incident.
It could be said that this incident was a fuse.
For years, there had been no shortage of incidents where overseas business groups made things difficult for companies from Xia Country. Everyone had long since felt that they couldn’t take it anymore!
「 ... 」
「Peng City, Xia Wei Group.」
In a huge conference room on the top floor, a man in his fifties or sixties with graying hair sat in the center. Seated below him were numerous high-level executives of the Xia Wei Group.
That man was none other than the current chairman of the Xia Wei Group, Ren Guofeng!
At this moment, an oppressive atmosphere filled the conference room.
Just this morning, they had received the news: Guge Company had announced that the Xia Wei Group’s smartphones could no longer use the Little Green People operating system!
What did this mean?
It meant that if the Xia Wei Group couldn’t create its own operating system, then in the future, their phones would revert to the prehistoric era.
The kind that could only make phone calls!
"Chairman, these foreign business groups are coming on strong this time! They’re trying to push our Xia Wei Group into a dead end!"
Among the seated executives, one man couldn’t help but speak up.
This person was precisely Lin Xiao, the one who had previously gone to Modu University to meet Zhou Xing!
"Indeed!"
Many of the Xia Wei Group’s executives couldn’t help but sigh.
Over the years, the Xia Wei Group had developed rapidly. In just over a decade, it had become the leader of Xia Country’s smartphone industry and stepped onto the world stage!
Recently, they had even surpassed Fruit brand phones!
It was likely because of this rapid pace of development that the original business titans felt threatened, so they joined forces to attack the Xia Wei Group.
This joint restriction initiated by Guge and other business groups could be said to have struck the Xia Wei Group’s Achilles’ heel.
A direct hit to their weak spot!
Although Xia Country had developed rapidly in recent years, it still lagged behind in many areas of high technology.
Take smartphones, for example. The core components all came from those foreign companies.
Operating systems, chips, and so on...
Although the Xia Wei Group had started preparing for a rainy day long ago, such as with the research and development of the Noah operating system, it now seemed they were too late!
"Guge’s move this time was indeed sudden and caught us completely off guard."
Ren Guofeng sighed and shook his head. "Initially, I thought those business groups wouldn’t make their move until the middle of this year at the earliest. I never expected it to be this fast..."
"The Noah operating system isn’t ready for use yet. What are we going to do?"
"So the company really can’t launch an alternative to the Little Green People operating system right now?"
"It’s not that we can’t launch one, it’s a problem with the ecosystem!"
The Xia Wei Group executives began to discuss among themselves again, their faces full of worry.
They felt that this time, the Xia Wei Group was truly facing the biggest problem in its history.
This was the most dangerous period. If they could get through it, the Xia Wei Group could soar to new heights. If they couldn’t...
Then things would be really difficult!
