463: Chapter 463 The Harvest Through Telepathy!

"Understood, we will definitely push forward with all our might and give you a satisfactory result as soon as possible."

Shen Fei had no idea that he was actually being used as a pawn by Lei Jun.

Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care. After all, it was their mouth to use, and there was simply nothing he could do about it.

"I only care about the final result. Don't make us all waste time accompanying these low-level bugs!"

...

At the Google headquarters in the United States, complaint letters from all over the world were pouring in.

At the same time, voices of boycott in the developer community were growing louder, and some developers had already launched a joint petition to refuse to adapt to 4.4.3.

What panicked Google even more was that news of the failed exploration of the Full-screen Display version had spread throughout the stock market in just over a day.

Moreover, it had been experiencing a continuous slide since the market opened in the morning, with the decline gradually widening.

And the investment department at Transsion headquarters, Huang Tianya's No. 1 investment team, was frantically stabbing them in the back.

No, that's not right; they were taking back money that belonged to them.

A trader nearby walked over quickly:

"Mr. Huang, the 'Little Fat Sheep' has already fallen by over 3%, and trading volume is starting to expand continuously. Some institutional funds have begun to flee in small amounts. Now, everyone in the industry knows that their Full-screen Display system this time is complete trash, and many manufacturers have started to put pressure on them."

"Since the opportunity has come to our door, don't be polite." Huang Tianya stood up and looked at the data on the big screen. "Continue to increase positions, go short with everything we have, and max out our holdings. Their system was already garbage, so let's give them an extra push."

"Understood!"

The trader turned and left immediately.

Huang Tianya picked up the internal phone and dialed Li Qing's number.

"Li Qing, the drafts we prepared earlier can be released across all channels. Release all the news about the cooperation between Vivo and Oppo, let review bloggers, industry insiders, and financial media all follow up, and post it on both domestic and international platforms. There is no need to spread rumors or smear them; just use this major Android bug as a pretext to solidify the news of the shift in cooperation."

"Understood, Mr. Huang, we will start acting immediately."

There was no unnecessary communication between the two, but both knew that with Google's collapse this time, Transsion was going to take the biggest slice of the cake.

Thus, within just half an hour, a trending search appeared on the Chinese internet.

#Vivo and Oppo completely abandon Android and shift entirely to Taishan System#

#Multiple engineering prototypes have appeared; Vivo and Oppo consider a full shift#

Besides the gossip, Vivo also very cooperatively released its own engineering prototype on its official website!

It features a Full-screen Display, is extremely thin and light, with the thinnest part being 4.75 mm.

"It seems the new version is even worse than we imagined; partners are already running away."

"You haven't seen the development version; it really didn't even have the basic functions working properly. The decision to switch was absolutely correct!"

"Google's core business is going to suffer a heavy blow!"

"Hasn't this news already been released? Why are you still making such a fuss? Could it be that someone is about to make a move?"

...

Meanwhile, in the US stock trading area, countless ordinary retail investors began to panic. Those who were originally watching from the sidelines looked at the plummeting stock price and the constant stream of negative news, and were instantly thrown into a panic!

"Someone is shorting this, sell quickly! If it drops any further, we'll be trapped!"

"Is there no capital stepping in? This is a capital attack on us by overseas funds!"

"Step in, my foot? It's a miracle they aren't using you as a scapegoat!"

"It's too late! I bought a bit more when it was sliding earlier, and now..."

"Forget it, let's retreat quickly! Think about last time; this time it probably still has something to do with Transsion!"

Under this pressure, retail investors fled in a concentrated manner once again, directly triggering a stampede effect.

Of course, this time they weren't as stupid, but they weren't going long; they were following along to short.

However, their capital volume wasn't that large, so they could only watch Transsion eat the meat while they followed along to drink some soup!

It wasn't a sudden discovery of conscience, but rather that Transsion would do anything to screw them over.

These were all lessons learned from blood and tears before.

Google headquarters also convened an emergency meeting.

Sundar Pichai was pacing back and forth in the office, and the other executives were sighing incessantly.

"The situation in the Asia-Pacific region is the worst. All manufacturers are protesting. Over at Vivo and Oppo, their engineering prototypes have already been finalized, and things might get even worse."

"Xiaomi, Ruiyi Mobile, and other manufacturers are all protesting. Mainland China is in complete chaos."

"HTC and Samsung are the same."

Seeing this, with everyone's attention falling on him, Dave Burke had no choice but to stand up:

"Currently, there is a critical flaw in the underlying system adaptation, and we cannot reconstruct a patch in the short term; we can only treat the symptoms, not the disease. Today, we announce that we are temporarily abandoning the Full-screen Display, continuing development based on the old version, and will release a brand new 5.0 next year to officially enter the Full-screen Display era."

Next year, meaning at least 2015?

The people in the conference room immediately started chattering and discussing again; after all, time is money... If it really drags on until next year, the speed at which Android manufacturers flee might be even more terrifying for them.

"What if we propose to the relevant authorities to ban Taishan System?"

After this sentence was spoken, everyone in the conference room looked at this person as if they were an idiot!

"They could completely ban Android in the same proportion. The China of today is not the China of five years ago; we have that kind of confidence. Besides, those people have already had enough of the lessons Transsion brought them; it is absolutely impossible for them to execute such an order."

Just when everyone thought this was already the worst-case scenario, new bad news arrived.

This painful news came from Google's own market stabilization manager: "Currently, the stock price has fallen by 10%, and Transsion is still continuously absorbing our shares. We cannot rule out the possibility that they intend to completely swallow up our shares. If their plan succeeds, they might become our actual major shareholder."

Sundar Pichai was already covered in black lines; he couldn't understand! Why, even though they were already shareholders, did they keep targeting them? Could it be that they really had to move away from the United States just like NVIDIA for it to be over?

"Let's do this: hold an offline press conference tomorrow, with a global live stream. Respond to the system bug issue publicly as soon as possible, announce a detailed rectification plan, and we must turn around public opinion in the shortest possible time. At the same time, we must send a negotiation team to China immediately. Vivo and Oppo absolutely cannot shift entirely to Taishan System; that would deal us a huge blow."

"Understood!"

Then everyone in the conference room nodded; the Android system had entered its most dangerous moment!

If they couldn't get past this step, it might be the abyss!

By then, the last trump card of the United States tech sector might be ruined!
