Chapter 466 Transmitted Meeting! Google's New Sneaky Tactics
Chapter 466 Transmitted Meeting! Google's New Sneaky Tactics
"I don't see any need to get involved in this!"
As soon as Huang Tianya spoke, everyone's attention immediately shifted to him.
"The reaction from the capital market was even faster than from public opinion. Google's stock price has fallen by almost 10%, and its market value has evaporated by nearly $400 billion."
Although their press conference has ended, the board is estimated to be holding Sundar Pichai accountable, and Dave Burke is likely to step down.
I'm curious how they'll handle this situation.
We can't just let the entire ecosystem waste time with them!
"How else can we end this? Either we spend money to cover the losses, or we drag others down with us."
This time it was Wang Hua who spoke up. She knew very well that this development involved Microsoft.
"There are already rumors circulating in the headhunting circle that the entire Android display and testing team has been blamed, their year-end bonuses have been canceled, and there are also rumors of layoffs and optimizations."
"Some core engineers are secretly sending out resumes now; the morale is crumbling quickly."
Liu Zhihong laughed again: "Now I guess no one questions our decision back then."
To be honest, looking back now, we really managed to avoid Google's huge pitfalls early on.
Everyone was very relaxed, and their tone even carried a hint of lighthearted banter. It wasn't that they underestimated their opponent, but rather that Google's move was simply too clumsy.
"Mr. Huang, how much money did you make on this trade?"
"I made a little money! I earned a little money for my hard work, but now those people have become shrewd and they all follow my lead. I originally wanted to scam them out of a lot of money."
But after thinking about it, I decided to stop!
Just as everyone was about to praise him, the door opened again, and Shen Fei walked in!
Although he didn't take out anything, the remaining people immediately ended their conversation.
After all, the boss has finished dealing with things over there, which means that Chuanyin has gained another golden body. But now it's time to get down to business.
"Have you finished watching it?"
"After seeing Mr. Shen's report, it's clear that Google's publicity stunt not only failed to achieve anything, but also exposed their true colors!"
Li Qing instantly returned to work mode.
"Being exposed is a minor matter; the important thing is what we're about to do." Shen Fei looked at Li Qing again. "First, summarize the latest reports I asked you to investigate."
Li Qing nodded and turned on the projector, where some prepared materials appeared on the screen.
"Current public opinion and manufacturer dynamics indicate that 17 mainstream mobile phone manufacturers have publicly expressed their dissatisfaction with Android, and Samsung, HTC, and Sony have officially sent letters seeking compensation."
The joint statement from several domestic companies, including DaMi, Ruiyi, and ZTE, continues to escalate, and Google's credibility among developers has plummeted to its lowest point in history!
Everyone in the meeting room nodded, and some even smiled slightly, after all, Google had really made a stupid mistake this time.
But at that moment, Li Qing's expression turned serious again.
"However, the bad news is that we have just obtained some crucial intelligence."
In fact, Google's board of directors made an emergency decision last night.
The decision was made to separate the Android business from Google as a whole and establish an independent Android ecosystem alliance company.
This time it's not OHA, but rather they're going to be split into an independent company, allowing all partners to get on board.
Moreover, to demonstrate its sincerity, Google only holds 49% of the shares, leaving the remaining 1% open to partners like SanSang.
Of course, there are also some leading application vendors.
Meanwhile, representatives from those manufacturers appeared on the big screen, but Blue Factory and Green Factory were excluded because they had already announced their participation in the Taishan series.
The previously relaxed atmosphere in the conference room instantly became tense.
Huang Tianya frowned even more: "So ruthless? Giving up control directly?"
Did Sundar Pichai agree?
"Such a big matter, why didn't you discuss it with me, a shareholder?"
"Mr. Huang, this whole thing is designed to protect us, and yet he still lets you attend the meeting?"
"I don't care, we're the major shareholders now! He can't run away with the rights he's entitled to."
Just wait, I reckon it won't be long before I'm asked to lead an online meeting.
Haha, a burst of laughter instantly filled the conference room. Google has to consider this side's attitude when making a decision. How can they play like this?
The other people in the meeting room discussed it for a few more minutes.
Shen Fei tapped the table and then said, "Are they ruthless enough this time?"
"We have no choice but to be ruthless!" Li Qing sighed. "If we keep pushing forward, Android will really be dead!"
"The public opinion is terrible right now. The Android app ecosystem has started to split. If we don't stop it, the whole thing will be ruined, and then no matter how many shares we have, it won't be of any use."
"Now, with just 51% of the shares, we can bind all the top players and also spread out the risks and costs."
"President Li's analysis is correct; this is their only way to break the deadlock."
"Unite everyone, get them to pull out their best techniques, and then fight us together."
Google believes that Transsion is about to face a tough battle.
After all, Google provides the underlying technology, Samsung provides the hardware adaptation capabilities, and Xiaomi brings its own MIUI features. With integration, they can easily take over Transsion's full-screen phone.
As for full-screen displays, we can catch up slowly!
However, they overlooked one point: the information that could be extracted from the communication channel had already been extracted.
This includes not only companies, but also people.
Huang Tianya also received more detailed information. After all, as Huaxing Investment is a shareholder, Google still needs to notify them of some major changes.
"Everyone, take a look at this new material!"
A technical committee has been established, and a new standard will be released within three months.
The meeting room was quiet for a moment before Liu Zhihong spoke first:
"It's impossible for them to catch up with us in three months."
The display architecture alone cannot be filled by simply having more people, not to mention that they are patching up a mess based on Android, and cannot fix the defects in the underlying logic.
However, we cannot underestimate them. They are still quite large, because although the manufacturers are complaining, they are only putting pressure on us.
Let them organize the new unified adaptation standards. The adaptation speed of third-party applications will be very fast in a short period of time, which will still put some pressure on us.
Especially in overseas markets, Sansang and those other companies still have considerable influence!
"Old Huang, what do you think?"
Shen Fei saw Huang Tianya again.
"Essentially, it's a case of sacrificing a pawn to save the king, or a 'besieging Wei to rescue Zhao' strategy," Huang Tianya explained, pinpointing the root of the problem for Shen Fei.
"Google relinquished control in exchange for a cohesive ecosystem, allowing companies to better unite against our common adversary."
They may seem like a united front, but in reality, they each have their own agendas, and if they were to actually cooperate, it would definitely turn into chaos.
It'll definitely be a mountain of junk code mixed together by then.
Shen Fei nodded: "But we can't underestimate them, after all, we share the same goal."
