447: Chapter 447 Android solves full-screen problem in three months

Soon, before the representatives could react, three keywords appeared on the PPT.

The representatives from Google and Qualcomm couldn't smile anymore, because they took one look at those three words and realized it was all their job.

Qualcomm Chipsets, Full-screen Display, Google Android!

Thompson also observed the reactions of these two companies. Sure enough, the moment the PPT appeared, both of them frowned slightly.

"The gap in Full-screen Display is no longer just about simple hardware craftsmanship; it's about the underlying software ecosystem.

Transsion has Taishan System, which allows it to autonomously adapt, optimize, and exclusively enjoy the dividends of the Full-screen Display.

Currently, those Android manufacturers are all locked in by Google's underlying framework."

"As long as Google can complete the native Android Full-screen Display adaptation, Full-screen Display will shift from being Transsion's exclusive advantage to a universal industry standard.

By then, their greatest differentiation advantage will vanish in an instant."

Watching Thompson introduce Google there, the Google representative couldn't smile at all.

Instead, the Qualcomm representative glanced at him from time to time, with an expression that seemed to say: Brother, good luck to you!

At this moment, Wilson also looked at the Google representative: "Mr. Tom, I'm really not trying to pressure you.

We have received pressure from Xiaomi here, and you should have received pressure from other manufacturers on your side as well."

Tom nodded, his eyes drifting unconsciously over the report. He picked up the lighter beside him and lit a cigarette, feeling slightly troubled.

"I know all this. Besides Xiaomi, we have also received urging from Samsung and HTC."

After speaking, he exhaled a puff of smoke. The smell of burning cigarettes spread throughout the conference room, but this only made him more worried.

After all, these manufacturers have banded together to demand that they complete the Full-screen Display development within three months and support adaptation for all models by the end of the year!

But wanting to complete this work in a year—how is that even possible?

So he frowned, still not giving any guarantees, because he really couldn't.

"Mr. Thompson, we can develop it as soon as possible, but you also know that Android's underlying layer involves quite a lot of things. We have to consider it from the perspective of system stability!

We have to consider the big picture."

After saying this, he lowered his head.

But at that very moment, he saw a strange emotion in Thompson's eyes.

However, before he could speak again, Qualcomm, sitting nearby, struck another blow!

"The big picture?

Mr. Tom, if you keep clinging to that big picture of yours, I believe it won't be long before Android becomes useless, and the world's former number-one system might end up behind Apple!

Symbian might be your future!"

"Mr. Jack, instead of worrying about our system, why don't you worry more about your chipsets?

I heard your Fire Dragon 810 is still very hot, with no progress at all. How do you have the nerve to criticize us?"

Thompson and Wilson were immediately anxious. The alliance hadn't even been agreed upon yet, so why were they starting to fight among themselves!

Thompson just had a little ulterior motive.

He just wanted to force Google to submit. As for whether Google would willingly cooperate, that wasn't important.

Even if the adaptation was full of holes and bugs were flying everywhere, it would still be beneficial for them.

After all, although it would be an Android issue, it would also indirectly verify that the path of Full-screen Display was a dead end. This was a fatal flaw, and naturally, the reputation would be ruined!

But the script seemed to be going in the wrong direction; his own people started bickering first!

The atmosphere in the conference room was a bit subtle, and the Microsoft representative acted as a peacemaker!

"Tom, we are all in software. Let's put aside previous unpleasantness. Cooperate fully, and I will have Microsoft support you with a team."

But they didn't feel happy at all. After all, he didn't dare to use the people Microsoft sent. What if they threw some garbage into the Google system!

Although it was already a mountain of garbage, he couldn't rest easy if the other party did that!

The Microsoft representative looked at Tom, smiled slightly, and didn't expose his petty thoughts.

"Rest assured, we have a common enemy now. Even if Google falls, we won't be able to grab any market share, so you can rest easy!"

After saying this, he laughed to himself, which actually made Tom a bit worried!

"Fine, then I'll trust you this once!"

Thompson finally put on his original persona and applauded the group.

After the meeting ended, he angrily slammed the table. He had brought these companies together to fight against Transsion, and they had almost started fighting among themselves!

How can we play like this?

However, being able to reach an agreement was already the best result...

Meanwhile, at Google headquarters.

Dave Burke, Vice President of Android, looked at the joint email in his hand, feeling quite angry.

After all, there was one from Samsung, and the wording was that high and mighty tone. Simply put, Samsung claimed that because of Google, it had lost its position in the high-end market and that they must develop the Full-screen Display aspect ratio as soon as possible.

Then there was another report from Silver Lake.

But what really made him panic wasn't these, but that Vivo and Oppo had already sent people to Transsion to start negotiating the use of Taishan System.

Once they actually used it, their internal structure would begin to disintegrate; this was the real fear.

However, looking at the deadlines given by all parties, he felt it was a bit absurd. After all, three months to solve all the underlying adaptation issues for Full-screen Display.

The more he read, the angrier he became. He stood up and walked quickly into Sundar Pichai's office.

He knocked on the door a few times just to be polite and then pushed open the CEO's office door.

Sundar Pichai had obviously just received a call from Tom, and his expression naturally wasn't happy, but just then another call came in, so he could only wave his hand slightly, signaling the other party to sit down.

"Mm, understood."

"I know this is the big picture. We will definitely do our best, but you also need to know that software adaptation is a major issue, and we have to ensure the overall integrity of the system!"

About 10 minutes later, the phone finally hung up.

But Dave Burke was still standing at the door, not moving an inch... His face still wore that angry look. After all, he had just heard "three months" again, but how could that amount of time possibly be enough?

"Dave, calm down!"

"I can't calm down!"

Dave Burke flew into a rage in front of the CEO, but before he went crazy, he still observed Sundar Pichai.

"I can't calm down. Our team has been involved from 1.0 to 4.4. Android now has 3 million lines of underlying code. I am familiar with every single line of code, but you have no idea.

You only understand interest exchanges; you don't understand how massive an engineering project this is!"
