469: Chapter 469 Analysis of Digital Chat Sites

Despite the previous disputes, when Google actually ceded controlling interest in Android, the reporters present couldn't help but be shocked.

Everyone knew that Android was the cornerstone of Google's mobile internet era; handing over 51% of the equity was equivalent to sharing the dominance of the ecosystem with all partners?

How is this any so-called strategic upgrade? This is clearly a compromise forced by being backed into a corner!

After briefly introducing this news, which had long been known, they moved on to the interview segment.

"Mr. Sundar Pichai, Google has previously emphasized its absolute control over Android. Does this split mean that Google is compromising with hardware manufacturers?"

"Will Dave Burke be held responsible for the 4.4.3 version fiasco?"

Sundar Pichai remained a smiling tiger. Although the board of directors had already made the decision, he clearly couldn't treat a "meritorious official" like that.

"Sir, this is not a compromise by Google; this is an important step in the opening of the Android ecosystem."

"Only by allowing partners to deeply participate in system construction can we build a more vibrant ecosystem. This is a part that all open systems must experience."

"Regarding team adjustments, we will announce internal Google matters at an appropriate time."

This high-sounding rhetoric clearly couldn't satisfy everyone present.

Next, other reporters asked about the details of the split, such as the timeline for fixing the Full-screen Display and the division of rights and responsibilities among manufacturers.

Sundar Pichai either answered haphazardly or pushed the questions to the subsequent Alliance Technical Committee.

The entire press conference was even shorter than that day, lasting only a little over 10 minutes before ending in a rush again.

Dave Burke didn't say a single word!

What made people think even more was that the on-site security team only protected Sundar Pichai, while Dave Burke had no protection, scrambling away in a sorry state by himself.

"Holy crap! This move by Android is intense!"

"It's purely deserved. They finally released a Full-screen Display version, and I was holding onto expectations, but it turned out to be a pile of garbage!"

"To the guy above, calling it garbage is giving it too much credit. Now it's great, I can only buy an Honor to tide me over for now!"

"Does no one think this alliance is powerful? Powerful enough to crush Transsion!"

"To the guy above, don't make your Boss Shen laugh!"

"Exactly, things that the United States couldn't handle, a bunch of small fry can handle? Let them stabilize the world's number one operating system first!"

Meanwhile, major digital bloggers were also analyzing this change; after all, it really went against Google's ancestral rules...

So some people started analyzing the OHA, saying this was the predecessor of the Android Open Alliance, and that Google just wanted to get partners on board, and other such whitewashing remarks.

But they were all scolded back by major digital fans!

Just as all parties were arguing endlessly, Shen Fei also logged onto the Digital Chat Station account and gave a simple evaluation.

"Just picked up some inside scoop from the Transsion conference room."

"Let's start with the conclusion: Google is paying for its own greed this time. Of course, it's also a collective counterattack against Transsion, but it treats the symptoms, not the root cause."

"Why split? Because the current mess can no longer be contained. Everyone is defending their rights. If they continue to hold on, the Android ecosystem will really die!"

"Doing it this way, although they lost a large sum, it won't allow Taishan System to directly pierce through Android's cornerstone!"

"[Reference here that Vivo and Oppo have already officially announced joining Taishan System]"

"Besides, is this alliance strong?"

"The attitude from Transsion is that it looks strong. Samsung + other alliance members account for 70% of global Android shipments, and with some top applications joining, the lineup is fully loaded."

"But in reality, it's just a bunch of mud!"

"We have an old saying in China: 'Mud cannot be plastered onto a wall.' So no matter how much mud gathers together, it's still useless."

"Why say this? It's not that Transsion is getting arrogant, but think about it: when you hold a small meeting in your village or company, there are factions!"

"If these companies really send engineers in, do you think they can really pull in the same direction?"

"And everyone has seen the effect of 4.4.3 made by Google and Microsoft; that's only two companies... So for those who want to change phones recently, I suggest prioritizing Transsion or Huawei, as well as the two upcoming Full-screen Display phones from Vivo and Oppo."

"As for others, wait and see for a while."

"Also, Transsion?? According to the inside scoop I found, Transsion is scared. So it has started to 'self-preserve' with difficulty. [Dog head emoji]"

"Finally, here's a big scoop: don't just stare at Android. Apple's movements are quite fast. Apple has already sent people to contact Transsion to discuss Full-screen Display technology licensing. It's highly likely to be a cross-licensing cooperation."

"If it really succeeds, we might see a magical scene next: Android groups copying, while iOS officially licenses it. [Dog head emoji]"

After Shen Fei's Weibo analysis was posted, the comment section immediately livened up.

However, most people weren't discussing the pathetic Android... but rather Apple, and the so-called self-preservation means of the Station Master.

"Did I read that right? Apple is seeking licensing from Transsion? Isn't Apple the industry ceiling?"

"The ceiling depends on the field, and that was only the Steve Jobs era. Since the Tim Cook era began, Transsion has long been in the lead."

"The world only knows that Transsion is the King of Phones in Africa and a domestic leader, beating Apple badly in the domestic market. I didn't expect the technology to be this awesome! I won't use Samsung for my next phone; let's try Transsion!"

"Waiting for updates!"

"But Google is too useless, right? Someone dug a small pit, and you jumped in and even buried yourself!"

"Deserved!"

Meanwhile, at the Transsion headquarters, after Shen Fei posted the message, he called over Li Qing.

"Boss Shen, the size of the news you released is just right. I feel there's no need to add more fuel to the fire."

"Alright! Stop flattering me. How are the preparations for the talks with Apple going?"

"The legal department has already prepared the patent licensing plan, and all core patents have been marked. Two sets of cross-licensing schemes are also prepared, and the technical team to adapt to Apple has also been formed."

After speaking, Li Qing handed over the plan with some hesitation; after all, these two plans were made according to Shen Fei's wishes! And they were a bit excessive.

"Boss, do you think they will really agree to this plan?"

"They have to agree if they want to, and they have to agree if they don't! Because they have no choice!"

After speaking, Shen Fei started reading. This time, Transsion would completely enter Apple's supply chain.

Including but not limited to chip foundry, batteries, image sensors, storage, and screens. In short, if they want to secure the relevant technology, Apple must increase the proportion of the Chinese supply chain in their total supply chain to over 30%.

Among them, the profit supply chain must be increased to over 25%! Otherwise, there's nothing to talk about!

"Boss Shen, I understand. The distinguished guest will arrive tomorrow. By the way, it seems there is another situation on Google's side! But the person has already been sent out, there is absolutely no problem. It's just, what position should be given?"

"His technical skills are still decent; make the best use of him!"
