Chapter 127 - 127 Besieged
127 Besieged
Overseas, at the Google Phone Laboratory.
A phone installed with the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System was being tested by engineer Mike.
Very quickly, the performance comparison test, power consumption comparison test, call quality test, and a series of other professional tests were completed.
The Senior Vice President of the Android system in Google was waiting for the test results with a solemn expression.
The testing process has been connected to the videoconferencing system.
The senior managers of Google, Windows, and Apple are all participating in the meeting via videoconference.
Not long after, Mike completed the phone tests.
He had an incredulous look on his face. “Everyone, I think we’re in big trouble!”
“The Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System has been tested. Its performance is 4.4 times that of Android! It’s twice that of Apple!”
“Battery management is very advanced. It’s 3.6 times better than Android and Apple! With the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, it can be used for three days with one charge.”
“What’s more, the phone works very smoothly. The memory management is simply heavenly. You can restore the phone to the time when it’s activated with one button! Dongfang said in the publicity that the phone won’t lag for a year. It’s true!”
“I tried to read the data on the hard disk of the phone just now and wanted to call out the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System to study it, but Li Chengqian is a maverick. He has actually encrypted the hard disk data of the phone. The documents I called out are meaningless codes! The encryption method is even harder to crack than the most difficult AES256 at the moment,” Mike said regretfully.
AES256’s encryption method was almost impossible to crack. If it was even harder than AES256, with current technology, it was almost impossible to crack.
“The Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System is more advanced than Android and Apple. It works smoother and is more functional.”
“Once this enters the market on a large scale, according to the usual practice of the East, the prices will definitely be low and the performance will be high. It will have a strong impact on us.”
“Coupled with a smooth usage experience and various advanced technologies, the market for Android and Apple phones will quickly be devoured in the foreseeable future.”
“The consequences are catastrophic for us.” Mike’s expression was extremely grave as he shared his speculations.
After Mike’s results were out, the expressions of the companies participating in the video conference system all turned solemn. Then, the participants began to discuss intensely.
They arrived at some conclusions very quickly.
Firstly, place the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System on their blacklist.
Secondly, send a warning to mobile phone manufacturers all over the world, any company that purchases from the Divine Dragon Software Company will be on the blacklist too.
Thirdly, all partners were warned not to provide any mobile phone hardware to the Divine Dragon Software Company.
Actually, the three companies all had a fourth measure, but they were not talking about it.
The fourth measure was to think of a way to obtain the source code of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. They would resort to all means, and do it at all costs.
By that time, they would be able to integrate the advanced technology in the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System into their own operating systems.
…
Li Chengqian took his eyes off the computer and looked at He Hongyan, who was sitting opposite him.
“How is it?” Li Chengqian asked.
If he wanted to build a phone, he naturally had to get a few helpers. He Hongyan, who was well connected, was his best helper.
Therefore, he handed over the tasks of contacting the OEM manufacturers and the raw materials suppliers to He Hongyan.
He Hongyan’s expression was solemn as he shook his head. “I’ve already contacted the OEM manufacturers. As long as the raw materials are in place, they can immediately start producing the phones.”
“But in terms of materials… There’s a huge problem. I’ve already arranged for someone to make inquiries… They refused to sell when they heard that the buyer is the Divine Dragon Software Company!”
“A friend told me that the Divine Dragon Software Company has already been blacklisted by several large western companies! It’s impossible for us to obtain the supply of materials from the west.” He Hongyan was bitter about this.
“They won’t sell us the Snapdragon processor!”
“Samsung won’t sell us the memory and flash memory chips, or the screens.”
“Sony won’t sell us their lens.”
In the past, He Hongyan had heard about how tough life could be when one was being boycotted. He now understood what that meant.
Once you are blacklisted, you can’t lay hands on any good top grade components.
Without the support of top grade components, how could you compete with others?
“President Li, I also heard a piece of news. Google has already issued a warning to all mobile phone manufacturers. Anyone who purchased the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System will lose the support of Android and will be blacklisted.”
Now, even if Li Chengqian was willing to collaborate with other mobile phone manufacturers, none of them would dare to work with him!
Once they collaborated with Li Chengqian, they would have to face the problem of not being able to buy materials.
This was fatal to any manufacturer.
Huawei was originally number one in mobile phone sales and also number one in profitability!
When Huawei started designing its own chip and developing its own operating system, it hit a raw nerve.
These businesses were heavily guarded by the foreign companies. No one was allowed to touch them. Anyone who did so would be courting death!
From then on, Huawei was on the blacklist.
One year later, due to a materials shortage, they couldn’t produce enough mobile phones, and their sales fell to fifth place in the Divine Dragon Country!
With Huawei’s case study, would any other mobile phone company still attempt to touch the foreign company’s territory?
No one dared to!
“Now, all our paths are blocked!”
“We don’t have the materials for producing our own mobile phones!”
“I don’t think any mobile phone manufacturer will work with us even if we authorize usage of our mobile phone system.” He Hongyan analyzed the current situation in a low voice and felt that the situation was not optimistic.
“Now, there’s another way to roll out the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. That’s to open the download and installation! Let the phone users come into the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System themselves.” He Hongyan stated the most feasible method open to them now.
But there are huge risks to this approach.
Whenever there were any issues with the phone, manufacturers would say that it was caused by the installation of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System.
It was even possible that someone would deliberately install the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System on a lousy phone so as to tarnish its reputation.
“President Li, the current situation is very complicated. Whether you choose to allow open download and installation, or to manufacture your own phone, neither are good choices.”
“I have a suggestion, and that is to temporarily stop the promotion and development of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System!”
“Bid your time! The country won’t leave you in a lurch!” To be honest, He Hongyan also felt extremely aggrieved. They clearly had such a good phone system, but they got blacklisted and could neither buy relevant materials nor use it on phones. They were in a dilemma.
This was because the country could not produce advanced mobile phone CPUs, memory, flash memory, cameras, screens, and so on.
These materials were indispensable in manufacturing high-end phones.
This was the sad thing about being held ransom by others.
