72: Chapter 72 Pangu and Nuwa, one created the world, the other mended it?
Samsung China Headquarters.
President's Office.
President Piao's expression was serious, his brows tightly furrowed, clearly indicating he was not in a good mood.
"President Piao, the strategy of cutting off the supply chain has been very effective in suppressing Fanmi. Now they have started looking for new suppliers everywhere, but with the combined influence of our companies, it will probably be very difficult for them, unless they pay a high price..."
Jae-wook Cha was reporting on the latest situation of the mobile phone division, his tone carrying a hint of confidence, feeling as if he had completely cornered Fanmi.
"I heard they've open-sourced the Pangu System. Are you sure nothing will change?"
President Piao was clearly not so optimistic. From the sudden explosion in popularity of the Fanmi mobile phone to now, the suppression from several giants in the smartphone industry had never stopped, yet the other party was still alive and well, and becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.
Looking at Jae-wook Cha, he was actually somewhat dissatisfied. He couldn't win the business war, couldn't seize market share, and even got involved in a lawsuit during the process, which almost damaged the group's reputation. He was even considering whether to replace the person in charge of the mobile phone business.
"President Piao, don't worry. Although their move to open-source Pangu was somewhat unexpected, even if the system is open-source, the software ecosystem cannot be built overnight. It needs time to develop!"
"One month... they only have one month. I don't believe they can last until the day they turn the tide!!!"
Jae-wook Cha clearly noticed the displeasure in President Piao's eyes, and his tone became more assertive. Even if he wasn't confident, he couldn't show any weakness at this moment.
"You'd better be confident, otherwise, many others want this position. You should weigh your options carefully..." President Piao said indifferently.
"Yes, President Piao, rest assured, there will be no surprises!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the office door, and the secretary in black stockings pushed the door open, looking at President Piao with a solemn expression.
"President Piao, there's some bad news..."
"Speak!" President Piao's expression changed slightly, and he spoke in a deep voice.
"After the Fanmi Pangu System was open-sourced, the number of registered members in their system developer alliance has exploded. Many leading internet companies and Chinese state-owned enterprises have already joined!"
"Also, just now, Fanmi's official website announced an order in cooperation with government and enterprise units..."
"Finally, the news that was just released... Huaxing announced that it will use open-source Pangu to customize its own system, and the system will be named: Nüwa!"
"…"
Following the black-stockinged secretary's words, the office fell into a deathly silence.
President Piao lifted his gaze slightly, looking at Jae-wook Cha with a cold stare.
"This is what you meant by, 'it's impossible to turn the tide'?"
"…" Jae-wook Cha was silent, not daring to speak.
"One Pangu, one Nüwa, one to create heaven, one to mend heaven... they're going to defy the heavens!" President Piao sneered, his tone becoming increasingly cold.
"The suppliers haven't reacted yet, our plan may not necessarily fail, not until the last moment..."
"Not until the last moment, you still won't give up, right?" President Piao laughed in anger.
He looked at Jae-wook Cha as if he were looking at an idiot. The growth of the Pangu developer alliance meant that Fanmi's software ecosystem would accelerate across the board, and it also meant that they had firmly established themselves, gaining the qualification to compete with android and Apple systems.
In such a situation, it was obvious that those suppliers would probably immediately defect and actively flock to Fanmi, and even some large suppliers would be no exception.
What's more, Fanmi also received orders from government and enterprise clients, and other mobile phone manufacturers began to use open-source Pangu. This was just the first, but it could be expected that there would be a second, a third, even surpassing android...
No one is a fool. The Pangu System, whether in terms of fluidity or design philosophy, is more advanced and has more potential than android!
In such a situation, they still want to crush them by cutting off the supply chain?
President Piao didn't know where this idiot in front of him got his confidence!
"Even if they manage to escape this calamity, we can still take a bite out of them. I'll contact the suppliers below and tell them to continue raising prices. I don't believe they won't want such a good money-making opportunity!!!"
"You are truly... utterly foolish! Get out. You don't need to manage the mobile phone division anymore. Your transfer order will be issued soon. Go back to Han Country and stay there; this place isn't suitable for you!"
President Piao shook his head, completely disappointed with Jae-wook Cha, and waved his hand lightly.
"President Piao, please give me another chance!!!"
Jae-wook Cha's expression jolted, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes. He didn't want to return to Han Country; if he went back like this, he would surely be completely ostracized and marginalized.
How could he be willing to be defeated by a company that had only been established for half a year? Even now, he still couldn't believe he had lost!
"I gave you a chance. Otherwise, you should have been fired after the lawsuit with Llg Company last time!"
"Impossible... I can't have lost like this..." Jae-wook Cha murmured to himself, slumping to the ground, his face pale, his heart instantly filled with despair.
President Piao looked at Jae-wook Cha, shook his head, and then turned his gaze to the computer screen, which still displayed the recently opened Fanmi official website.
"It seems I'll have to meet you personally!"
Thinking of the figure who was all smiles and eager flattery at the supplier conference, a hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes.
Back then, he could never have imagined that he would become such a formidable opponent now!
...
...
In front of the Fanmi Technology Building.
"Good heavens, what's going on?!"
Since Lin Shuang came to Fanmi, she had never seen such a spectacular scene.
The entire office building was filled with various luxury cars. The reception room on the first floor was already overflowing, and some people were even leaning against random spots in the lobby.
But these, without exception, were all the heads of various suppliers, big and small, from within the country. Their net worth was at least tens of millions, and some... Lin Shuang didn't even dare to imagine.
"Sister Lin Shuang, hurry and help, I'm completely overwhelmed!" Jiang Yuechan hurried through the lobby, and seeing Lin Shuang, she quickly called out.
"Why are there so many people today?" Lin Shuang quickly went to help, and at the same time, couldn't help but ask.
"How should I know? They're all here to see President Lei and President Li, saying they want to discuss supply matters, and their attitudes are all so good!!"
"Wow, the company is about to take off!"
Lin Shuang muttered to herself, somewhat disbelieving everything in front of her. Just two days ago, the place was deserted, with suppliers cutting off supplies and raising prices—it was a complete reversal!
"Sister Shuang, didn't you say the front desk job was very easy? How come when it's my turn, I'm working like a dog?!" Jiang Yuechan was almost in tears.
"The lobby usually really doesn't have much going on, but today... it's a bit unusual, right?" Lin Shuang was also a bit unsure.
Just then, she saw a figure walk out of the reception room, and her eyes immediately lit up.
"President Sun!" Lin Shuang waved her hand.
Sun Youming looked at Lin Shuang, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Miss Lin, we meet again!"
Sun Youming had a very deep impression of this young front desk girl. In fact, if Lin Shuang hadn't contacted President Li for him without an appointment back then, who knows what Xingda would be like now.
Therefore, he was exceptionally warm towards Lin Shuang.
"President Sun, are you here to..." Lin Shuang looked curiously at the briefcase Sun Youming was carrying.
"I just renewed a contract for two million units, with a total value of nearly 300 million yuan!" Sun Youming said, his face full of smiles.
"Good heavens, an order for two million units, can your factory handle it...?" Lin Shuang blurted out in surprise, but then seemed to realize it was a bit impolite and quickly covered her mouth.
"We can handle it. Our factory has added three new production lines, so there's absolutely no problem!" Sun Youming didn't mind and said with a chuckle.
"Then congratulations, President Sun, on your prosperity!"
"Hahaha, let's all get rich together!!"
...
Watching Sun Youming's departing figure, Lin Shuang's heart remained unsettled for a long time.
Just one order alone was nearly 300 million yuan... this was truly the rhythm of taking off and soaring to the heavens!
In the past, it was simply unimaginable.
"My condolences, you'll probably be very busy from now on!" Lin Shuang patted Jiang Yuechan's shoulder, saying with a sympathetic expression.
"Sister!" Jiang Yuechan burst into tears.
Lin Shuang shook her head, took out her notebook, thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up as she wrote a line of text.
Our journey is to the sea of Huaxings!
