466: Chapter 466 Transmitted Meeting! Google's New Sneaky Tactics

"I don't think it's necessary to join in this excitement!"

As soon as Huang Tianya spoke, everyone's attention instantly shifted to him.

"The market's reaction is faster than public opinion. Google's stock price has already fallen by nearly 10%, with its market capitalization evaporating by nearly 40 billion USD.

Although their press conference has ended, the board of directors is probably surrounding Sundar Pichai to hold him accountable, and Dave Burke is likely about to step down.

I'm actually curious about how they're going to clean up this mess.

They can't possibly let the entire ecosystem drag on with them!"

"How else can they clean it up? Either spend money to fill the hole, or drag others in to take the blame together."

The one who spoke this time was Wang Hua, and she was well aware that Microsoft was involved in this development.

"There is already news in the headhunter circles that the entire Android display and testing team is taking the fall. Not only are the year-end bonuses canceled, but there are also rumors of layoffs and optimization.

Some core engineers are already secretly submitting resumes; morale is crumbling fast."

Liu Zhihong laughed again: "I bet no one questions our decision back then now.

Honestly, looking back now, we really managed to avoid Google's massive pitfall in advance."

Everyone was very relaxed, and their tone even carried a hint of lighthearted teasing. It wasn't that they were underestimating the enemy, but rather that this move by Google was simply too clumsy.

"Mr. Huang, how much money did we make from this move?"

"Made a little! Just took a small service fee. As it turned out, those people got smart; everyone followed my moves. I originally wanted to trap them for a big one.

But after thinking about it, I decided to stop!"

Just as everyone was preparing to offer praise, the sound of the door opening came from the entrance again. Shen Fei walked in!

Although he didn't bring anything out, the few people remaining instantly ended their conversation.

After all, since the boss had finished handling matters over there, it meant that Transsion had gained another layer of prestige, but now it was time to get down to business.

"You've all finished watching, right?"

"Finished, Mr. Shen. Google's show didn't have any effect; instead, it exposed their own bottom line!"

Li Qing instantly returned to work mode.

"Exposing the bottom line is a small matter. The next moves are what's important." Shen Fei looked at Li Qing again. "First, summarize the latest reports I asked you to investigate."

Li Qing nodded and opened the projector, and the prepared materials appeared on the screen.

"According to current public opinion and manufacturer trends, 17 mainstream mobile phone manufacturers have publicly expressed dissatisfaction with Android. Samsung, HTC, and Sony have formally issued claims for compensation.

The joint statement from domestic companies like Xiaomi, Ruiyi, and ZTE is also continuing to ferment. Google's credibility among the developer community has fallen to its lowest point in years!"

Everyone in the conference room nodded. Some even had faint smiles on their faces; after all, Google was truly being stupid to the extreme this time.

But just then, Li Qing's expression became serious again.

"However, the bad news is that we just received a piece of core intelligence.

Actually, last night, Google's board of directors made an emergency resolution.

They decided to split the Android business out from Google as a whole and establish an independent Android Ecosystem Alliance company.

This time it's not OHA; they want to split it into an independent company and get all partners on board.

And to show their sincerity, Google only holds 49% of the shares, while the remaining 1% of the shares are all open to partners like Samsung.

Of course, there are also some top application developers."

At the same time, representatives of those manufacturers appeared on the big screen, but Vivo and Oppo were left out because they had already announced their participation in the Taishan series.

The originally relaxed atmosphere in the conference room instantly became tense.

Huang Tianya frowned: "This ruthless? Giving up control directly?

Did Sundar Pichai agree to this?

And why wasn't I, a shareholder, consulted about such a big matter?"

"Mr. Huang, this move was specifically to guard against us. Why would he hold a meeting with you?"

"I don't care. We are major shareholders now! He cannot evade the rights we are entitled to.

Just wait, I estimate it won't be long before he asks me to join an online meeting."

Hahaha, a burst of laughter instantly erupted in the conference room. Google having to look at their expressions before making a decision—how could they play the game like this?

The others in the conference room discussed it a bit more.

Shen Fei tapped the table and then said: "They are ruthless enough this time, aren't they?"

"They have no choice!" Li Qing also sighed. "If they continue to hold on, Android will really die!"

"Public opinion is too poor right now, and the Android application ecosystem has already begun to split. If it's not stopped, this whole thing will be ruined. At that point, no amount of shares will be useful.

Now they only need to use 51% of the shares to bind all the top players, and they can also spread out the risks and costs."

"Mr. Li's analysis is correct. This is their only way to break the deadlock.

Unite everyone, let them bring out their best technologies, and then fight against us together."

From Google's perspective, Transsion is likely going to have a tough battle to fight next.

After all, Google provides the underlying layer, Samsung provides the hardware adaptation capability, and Dami Company brings out its own MIUI gameplay. At that point, by relying on integration, they could easily take down Transsion's Full-screen Display.

As for the Full-screen Display, they can catch up slowly!

But they overlooked one point: Transsion has already poached everyone who needed to be poached.

This includes not only companies but also people.

At this moment, Huang Tianya also received more detailed information. After all, as a shareholder, China Star still needed to be notified of some major changes by Google.

"Everyone, look at this new material!

A technical committee has already been planned, and they will launch a brand-new standard within three months."

The conference room was quiet for a moment before Liu Zhihong spoke first:

"It's simply impossible to catch up to us in three months.

The display architecture alone cannot be filled just by throwing more people at it, not to mention that they are patching up the mess that is Android; the flaws in the underlying logic cannot be fixed.

However, one thing we cannot underestimate is that their scale is still quite large. Even though manufacturers are currently complaining, it's just pressure.

If they organize a new unified standard for adaptation, the adaptation speed of third-party applications will be very fast in the short term, which will still bring us a certain amount of pressure.

Especially in overseas markets, Samsung and those other companies still have influence!"

"Old Huang, what do you think?"

Shen Fei looked at Huang Tianya again.

"Essentially, it's abandoning the chariot to save the commander, which can also be considered besieging Wei to save Zhao." Huang Tianya explained the root of the problem for Shen Fei.

"Google gave up control in exchange for an ecosystem that doesn't split, and each company can better unite to deal with us, their common opponent.

It looks like an iron wall, but in reality, everyone has their own ulterior motives. If they really cooperate, it will definitely be a mess.

By then, it will definitely be a mix of all kinds of 'spaghetti code'."

Shen Fei nodded: "But we still can't underestimate them, after all, their goal is consistently aimed at us."
