44: Chapter 44: Vanmi Aims to Build a Software Ecosystem!

Fanmi Technology.

“Fight!!!”

“They’re crazy, everyone is crazy...”

Lin Shuang felt that with the launch of the new fanmi mobile phone, the whole company seemed to have become busy. Even she, the receptionist, was a little less idle. Just looking at the public opinion online, she also had an urge to rush up and fight. After all, her year-end bonus was only half a year away.

As one of the founding members who was fooled... who saw the company’s potential early on, her year-end bonus wouldn’t be too bad.

A burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind. She saw Yang Wentao and a group of people from the marketing department rushing out of the company in a grand manner.

“Go for it!” Lin Shuang encouraged.

“Go for it!”

Yang Wentao clenched his fists, his face flushed.

“The higher-ups have issued a death order. Within a month, we must sign up 10% of the internet companies in the market!”

“Understood!”

“We guarantee to complete the mission!!”

“Take life and death lightly, just fight if you disagree!!”

“Looking forward to everyone’s good news, let’s go!!”

A large group of people, coming and going in a hurry.

Lin Shuang watched the group of spirited salespeople leave.

“Such good material for a passionate anime...”

Lin Shuang muttered, unconsciously opening the official website to collect material. Sure enough, there was an extra statement at the top.

Hangzhou City University dormitory.

Qiu Zhengyang was scrolling through some negative public opinion about the fanmi mobile phone on a technology forum, his brows furrowed.

“How can these people tell lies with their eyes open? The Pangu System is clearly a distributed operating system developed with a microkernel as the core. It just opened a port that can be compatible with the android program architecture, yet it’s being called a shell-wrapped android!!”

“Such remarks are either stupid or malicious. The negative public opinion is being stirred up by them!”

Qiu Zhengyang typed rapidly on the keyboard, wanting to use professional knowledge to analyze and attempt to clarify for Fanmi Technology.

However, it was destined to be futile. In a few seconds, it was quickly drowned out by a pile of sarcastic replies saying that Fanmi’s paid trolls were whitewashing fanmi mobile phone.

He realized something was wrong, even if he was slow. If this trend continued, even if the fanmi mobile phone was good, it would be useless if its reputation was ruined.

“It’s useless. The public opinion online has been increasingly unfavorable to Fanmi Technology these days. Now it seems their phones are almost unable to sell, and sales on the official website and e-commerce platforms have dropped!” a roommate’s voice sounded from the side.

“They say there’s no smoke without fire. If the Pangu System really had no problems, why wouldn’t Fanmi Technology come out to clarify? In the end, it still can’t stand scrutiny!”

“These public opinions are definitely being led by someone, specifically targeting Fanmi Technology!” Qiu Zhengyang was already very certain at this point.

“Why target them?” Yu Zhengqing retorted, “If it were really targeting them, then Fanmi Technology would definitely come out to clarify! Now that there’s no movement, doesn’t that just prove they have a guilty conscience? I’m afraid it’s just false advertising!”

Yu Zhengqing shook his head, obviously not agreeing with Qiu Zhengyang’s point of view. Classmates were classmates, but on the issue of Fanmi, he had his own ideas.

“The fanmi mobile phone has only just been launched. Many people haven’t even received their goods after buying them, and so many people are already attacking the Pangu System! How can they be sure that the Pangu System is a shell-wrapped android? Just by imagination?”

Qiu Zhengyang insisted on his own ideas. After all, he went to the press conference in person with his girlfriend, and as a software student, he heard it clearly.

“Maybe someone has inside information!” Yu Zhengqing shrugged, “Maybe it’s someone inside Fanmi who feels bad and came out to break the news!”

“Nonsense!” Qiu Zhengyang was a little amused by his roommate.

“Think about it carefully. After these negative public opinions appeared, who could benefit the most? Obviously, it must be those giants in the smartphone field. As long as Fanmi Technology loses this public opinion war, they can use various means to continue to suppress it and finally complete the acquisition!”

“By that time, how will the Pangu System be disposed of? Either it will be thrown into a warehouse and completely frozen, or it will become the technology of those giants. The original domestic operating system will become a tool for foreign-funded enterprises to make money!”

The more Qiu Zhengyang spoke, the more excited he became, even heartbroken, because he felt like he could see the future now. Under the lack of trust, Fanmi was heading towards decline before it even started.

“But why doesn’t Fanmi Technology clarify?” Yu Zhengqing was silent for a few seconds, his expression full of confusion.

Hearing this, Qiu Zhengyang was also silent, because he couldn’t figure it out either. Logically speaking, the fanmi mobile phone should clarify as soon as possible.

“It’s here, Fanmi’s statement is here!” Qiu Zhengyang casually refreshed the official website, first stunned, and then his expression changed instantly.

Yu Zhengqing also couldn’t help but lean over.

They saw that a statement had indeed appeared on the top bar of the Fanmi official website.

[Statement: We will officially open source the Xianzhou Compiler at 12:00 noon today, inviting all developers to participate in the construction of the Pangu System ecosystem, and launch an incentive plan with a reward pool of 100 million!]

“Xianzhou? What is that?”

“This is... Fanmi Technology has established a developer alliance, and the official website is already online!” Qiu Zhengyang clicked on it, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

“Fanmi is actually trying to build an ecosystem!!!”

“Build an ecosystem...” Yu Zhengqing was stunned.

Qiu Zhengyang nodded affirmatively, his tone becoming more and more excited: “The current Pangu System cannot get rid of android, simply because the software ecosystem is not yet perfect, and this Xianzhou Compiler and the developer alliance are actually a bridge...”

“Software development companies and individual developers can use this bridge to develop their own apps into software compatible with the Pangu System. Once the ecosystem chain is established, the Pangu System can completely get rid of android!”

His eyes were shining, as if he had already seen that day.

“Xianzhou Compiler... building a software ecosystem...” A look of surprise appeared on Yu Zhengqing’s face, and he paused slightly before speaking again:

“In this way, isn’t it clear that they want to divide the world into three parts with android and Apple systems? This is to completely embark on a path of independent research and development! Success is fine, but once it fails, it will be squeezed out by all parties, and if they want to succeed, it will also be a path full of thorns... This Fanmi Technology... is so tough!!!”

“I told you long ago that the fanmi mobile phone is different. I am going to study the Xianzhou Compiler now and join the Fanmi Developer Alliance in the future!”

Qiu Zhengyang nodded gently, and then his eyes gradually became firm.

“So sudden?” Yu Zhengqing was stunned for a moment.

“Not sudden at all!” Qiu Zhengyang said affirmatively.

“I believe Fanmi can fight its way out!!!”

“Then I’ll join you.”

“Okay.”
