50: Chapter 50: One day, the blockade will be broken!!
Early morning, the sun was bright.
Zhou Fan had just finished washing up when he heard Chen Bing's surprised tone, along with the voices of Sun Chuyang and Qian Donglai.
"How long has it been? Samsung and Apple have actually announced that their new phones will use Fast Charging Technology. Isn't this too fast?"
"It is a bit strange. I just checked the patent website. Fanmi's Fast Charging Technology hasn't been officially released yet. It shouldn't be licensed by them..."
"Could it be that some battery company has had a technological breakthrough? There was no movement a few days ago, so how did so much news suddenly appear? It's like Fast Charging Technology is about to become worthless!"
"..."
The tone of the three was clearly full of surprise, especially Chen Bing, who was deeply puzzled. He checked the patent website again and truly did not see any patents released by Fanmi regarding Fast Charging Technology.
This news was too sudden; it happened almost overnight!
Seeing Zhou Fan come out, Chen Bing immediately asked: "Old Zhou, have you seen the news? What do you think is the reason?"
"It's normal. Those big companies will always find ways to keep up so they can maintain their current status!"
Zhou Fan frowned slightly. The situation was within his expectations, but the actions of Samsung and Apple were far faster than he had imagined.
Whether in his past life or now, those giant foreign companies have never stopped suppressing domestic enterprises, whether commercially or in scientific research. He had deep experience with this!
In his past life, for the Room-Temperature Superconductivity project, one material branch technology was just like this. Originally, they had obtained authorization for basic technology from a foreign company, but just as the technology was about to break through, the authorization was suddenly canceled, leading to a huge amount of time spent searching for a new breakthrough direction. Such examples are frequent.
Therefore, regarding technology, Zhou Fan must keep the core technology in his own hands.
"I feel there must be some insider story here, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?" Chen Bing thought about it and still felt something was wrong.
"Could it be that those companies stole Fanmi's technology? Like reverse engineering..." Qian Donglai also frowned and guessed.
"I'm afraid that's the case. Apple has its own self-developed system. Once they follow up with Fast Charging Technology, Fanmi's advantage will be gone!" Sun Chuyang's tone became serious, clearly seeing the essence of the matter.
"Damn it, do foreign companies have the power to cover the sky with one hand? As soon as we show our heads in scientific research, they want to suppress us. This is not giving people a way to live!" Qian Donglai cursed, which made the atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly freeze.
After all, they were engaged in the scientific research industry themselves and felt this more deeply than others.
Over the years, in various fields, foreign technology has guided the development of science and technology, while domestic enterprises can only survive in the cracks.
It is not just in the field of smartphones, but also in some high-precision industries, such as energy, chips, and heavy equipment technology; it is all like this.
"Alright, study hard. The rise of Huaxia Technology in the future depends on us!" Zhou Fan smiled and picked up his backpack from the desk.
"Let's go. After breakfast, you guys go to class. I'll get some materials, and after class, we'll go together to apply for the laboratory. The experimental plan for the new high-temperature resistant material is almost ready!"
"Let's go, let's go. It's really meaningless to complain here. It's better to get the new material out first! Sooner or later, we will definitely break the blockade!!" Chen Bing nodded in agreement and followed behind Zhou Fan.
"Sooner or later, I will make the West beg me..."
"Beg? I'll give him a stick first!!"
"Old Qian, tough..."
In conversation, the few walked out of the dormitory.
...
...
Hangzhou City.
QuickSnap Net headquarters.
"Old Lin, do you think Fanmi can survive this disaster this time? Samsung and Apple have both followed up with Fast Charging Technology, so their advantage is gone!"
In the spacious office, Song Yunfan was also looking at the latest news on the internet and couldn't help but speak to Lin Yu.
After all, they could be considered a Hangzhou City enterprise, so they naturally paid more attention to the fanmi mobile phone.
"Hard to say. Fanmi's ambition is too big, and they were too high-profile when they started. They are clearly being targeted by the two giant companies... No, they should be targeted by the entire Western mobile phone industry chain." Lin Yu shook his head, his words revealing a hint of complexity.
He acknowledged Lei Jun's ambition, but this ambition affected too many interests. Obviously, the mobile phone industry chain led by several giants had reached a certain tacit understanding, and someone had conducted reverse engineering, which allowed them to catch up with Fanmi so quickly.
"Fanmi has a self-developed system, but this is also their weakness. The software ecosystem has not been established, and they cannot form a prairie fire. They are too anxious!!"
In fact, Lin Yu had changed his view of Lei Jun. He didn't expect the first mobile phone to be a hit, showing a trend of rising. The most important thing was still Lei Jun's ambition.
But when the foundation is too poor, one should keep a low profile. Now that they have moved others' cheese, the storm they will face next will only be more turbulent. Whether they can survive depends on their fortune!
Rising from the bottom, if you lose, you can just start over. But falling from the clouds into the abyss, the opponent will absolutely not let them climb back up.
"Speaking of software ecosystems, people have been coming to talk about cooperation during this period, wanting our company to join their system ecosystem and develop mobile applications compatible with Pangu System. What do you think about this?"
Song Yunfan suddenly changed the subject, and his tone became serious.
"Pangu System..." Lin Yu tapped the table lightly and shook his head.
"Let's wait a bit longer and see if they can survive this hurdle. Developing software costs money, and our android applications have just gone online and cannot afford to be tossed around!"
"But some time ago, the fanmi mobile phone did bring us a lot of new users. They do have a user base. I'm worried that if we don't hurry, we might not be able to keep up later..."
"The premise of the fanmi mobile phone is to survive first... It won't be too late to decide then." Lin Yu smiled, the meaning in his tone was already very obvious. He did not believe that the fanmi mobile phone could survive. He paused slightly and spoke again:
"The applications for both android and Apple systems have already left us overwhelmed. Do you think we still have the energy to develop for Pangu System now?"
"If we have the Xianzhou Compiler, developing applications compatible with Pangu System is not troublesome. If we work overtime, it can be fully realized in a few months!"
"Still the same question, do you think they can survive?"
"..."
The office fell silent. Song Yunfan hesitated for a moment and shook his head lightly. He also didn't believe that Fanmi could survive the siege of the foreign industry chain with the two giants as the core.
Just like the domestic Kirin computer system in the past, it was beaten to the point of having no power to fight back just by facing one Microsoft. The power of foreign capital giants is far stronger than many people imagine.
A small Fanmi... is about to enter the strangling circle of capital. It is really hard to survive.
"Alright, hurry up and optimize the android and Apple applications! Now that the online applications have just improved, we must not take it lightly! As for the rest, we'll see when there's a result!"
"Okay!"
Song Yunfan nodded, sighed, and walked out of the office.
