265: Chapter 265 Rumors of a Motorola Sales Ban

That afternoon, the official website of Transsion Technology published a long article.

"Public Statement Regarding the Technical Architecture of Taishan System."

It detailed the technical roadmap of Taishan System: based on the AOSP open-source code, compliant with the Apache 2.0 license, and containing no proprietary Google applications or services.

At the same time, the article compared the differences between Taishan System and native Android, stating that the current similarity between the two should be less than 20%.

The article concluded by emphasizing: Taishan System is an operating system independently developed by Transsion and does not infringe upon any third-party intellectual property rights.

Google's lawsuit has no legal basis, and Transsion will actively defend its legitimate rights and interests.

Simultaneously, it will file a countersuit in China to fight back against Google's malicious accusations.

In less than half an hour, although those big bloggers were still being stubborn, the trend on the internet had clearly shifted.

"So AOSP is open-source and anyone can use it; Google is just picking a fight."

"To the person above, didn't some experts explain this last time when Google withdrew from the Chinese market? Did you not see it?"

"This isn't infringement; this is decoupling.

Transsion's ecosystem is getting better and better, and Google is afraid that everyone will break away from the Android ecosystem, and even more afraid of the invisible hand interfering with the game."

"Is it possible that CEO Yu and CEO Shen officially announced at the Enjoy launch event that everyone is welcome to join the Taishan ecosystem?"

"Hey, that's actually possible. [Screenshot]"

The netizen sent over an announcement from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, stating that from 2011 to 2015, they would continue to increase support for domestic apps, domestic chips, domestic semiconductors, and related industries.

"Support Transsion. Since Google is withdrawing, they should withdraw completely, okay?"

...

But Shen Fei knew that the lawsuit was not the main point. Google's real goal was never to target Taishan System itself.

That evening, Huang Tianya received a message.

After reading it, his expression showed genuine panic for the first time.

"Boss, rumors are coming from the United States that they want to sanction Huaxin Investment."

Shen Fei looked up at him. Sure enough, the familiar script had returned.

However, this also fit the cautious nature of Obama, especially towards the end of the economic crisis.

"What do they intend to sanction this time? Huaxin Investment doesn't have anything worth sanctioning, right?"

"There is still a large portion of shares that haven't been sold off, worth about hundreds of billions?"

The shares Huang Tianya mentioned, as Shen Fei also knew, were from a series of top-tier companies like Apple, Qualcomm, and Intel.

Most of the companies were not listed, maintaining around 4.9%, but if Obama really took action, most of these enterprises would definitely suffer.

"Sanction what? But those companies we invested in shouldn't be too affected; things haven't gotten that bad yet."

Huang Tianya nodded. If Obama dared to officially announce the freezing of Huaxin Investment's shares, then the relevant stock markets could give them a surprise... a circuit breaker!

As someone who cherishes his reputation, Obama should be able to distinguish what is more important.

"This time it is mainly targeting Motorola.

They believe that although Motorola is a United States company, it has been acquired by Transsion, and the headquarters is nothing more than a shell; it no longer belongs to the United States.

They are preparing to ban Motorola from selling in the United States."

Shen Fei thought about it; this did affect him a little.

After all, Motorola's sales volume in the United States had already exceeded 30 million; breaking 30 million for a single product was already the best achievement for a Motorola Smartphone.

"Anything else?"

"There might be other things.

Chips, screens, sensors, and other manufacturing equipment might be added to the restriction list."

The office was a bit quiet. Although Shen Fei had expected this, he was still a bit surprised when that large hand from the United States reached out.

"Old Huang, notify the Legal Department and the Public Relations Department to get ready."

Huang Tianya nodded.

He knew this was in preparation for the United States' sanctions. If Motorola was banned, the United States market would be gone.

This was not the most serious part.

The most serious part was that their headhunting activities in the United States might really be forced to stop, and even part of the supply chain might be in some crisis.

But Huang Tianya was not particularly worried; Transsion had already launched its own secure industrial chain, so the impact would not be particularly large, at most losing a few markets.

"For your Investment Department, sell off those short-term investments if you can, and maintain the long-term investments.

Then call Liu Fang over to me; start the domestic substitution plan as soon as possible."

...

A piece of news made the entire Transsion busy, and at the same time, Digital Chat Station and cooperative media also began to release news to the public.

Digital Chat Station V: "Just received a message that Transsion has received a 'warning,' and enterprises such as Huaxin Investment and Transsion Technology will be added to the United States' blacklist.

At that time, Motorola will very likely be banned from selling in the United States market.

Transsion's layout in the United States is in danger."

"Brother Station, this is the first time you've posted such news... that is indeed quite dangerous."

"Shouldn't you viewers be focusing on the fact that Brother Station himself admitted that Huaxin Investment and the industry are in cahoots?"

"Is this anything new?

Have you ever seen an investment bank that, after acquiring 70% of the shares, not only doesn't enforce control but also acts as a nanny?"

"Domestic products are just too powerful; support Transsion to the end! Since they want to sanction, then we must fight back.

Fight until the United States admits defeat."

"Heh, hilarious. Nobody buys Transsion domestically, and they only sell so much in the United States by relying on Motorola's shell. Now that they're banned, are they going to run away?"

"Dear, do you think the people in the United States are stupid? They recognize the Motorola brand, not Transsion.

Once the American Empire takes action, Transsion can just wait to surrender obediently!"

"Hilarious, they even created an avatar!

But Motorola being banned is deserved; it's a United States enterprise, and yet you, a Chinese manufacturer, acquired it.

You'd better honestly go back to Africa to sell Feature phones.

The water here is too deep; it's not suitable for you..."

Meanwhile, in Beijing, Lei Jun completely put his worries to rest.

After all, after the official announcement yesterday, Lin Bin went to his office and persuaded him for three hours, saying that entering the India market was fine, but there was no need to move all the factories and such over there.

Especially since Transsion's attitude was not very clear.

Although they said they already had a plan and a countdown, according to his investigation, that office location was really just an office, and there were barely any people there...

It might be a trap aimed at them.

At that time, Lei Jun panicked instantly, as it was indeed possible.

But now he understood that it wasn't that Transsion didn't want to go; it was that they really didn't have the time.

The Legal Department was spinning in circles, and other departments were also dealing with the United States' sanctions; how could they have any time?

So this was a good thing!

They must accelerate; the original 10-city simultaneous launch could this time be expanded to 20 cities...

The Xiaomi business in the India market was the key battle for his comeback.
