Chapter 458 MIUI Surpasses Mount Tai
Chapter 458 MIUI Surpasses Mount Tai
Best result?
"How dare you say that! What are you developers good for?"
Seeing their nonchalant attitude, Sundar Pichai stood up abruptly!
But Dave Burke had already anticipated his thoughts and casually added:
"President, isn't this what you wanted?"
You're gambling too!
I know you'll agree to this plan, because if we don't issue it, we won't even have the right to gamble.
One sentence instantly made Sundar Pichai sit down.
After all, Google is facing crises on all sides, and everything takes time.
Transsion has already demonstrated the destructive power of full-screen systems, causing Chinese manufacturers to waver. Therefore, no matter what, Google cannot back down on this step.
Now, OPPO and Vivo have already begun their transformation. If it had been another six months, more manufacturers would have switched to TaiShan OS like them. At that time, they would have lost not only their reputation, but also their entire market share.
Sundar Pichai hesitated for a moment, but in the end he simply nodded.
The tense atmosphere in the meeting room instantly calmed down.
The development zone, which had been worried, breathed a sigh of relief; they had won this standoff.
It should be said that Dave Burke guessed what the president meant!
"You should maintain stability as much as possible during this period, while developing a new version, but this version is not so easy to crash."
At the same time, I will persuade the Ministry of Science and Technology to take action.
They pressured all app developers in the name of America to complete full-screen adaptations within two months and submit new version updates within three months.
Your workload will be significantly reduced then.
One developer clapped, and the others smiled slightly.
"But will they really listen?"
"It's alright. With the Ministry of Science and Technology intervening, would they dare disobey?"
"Although it can be done, they'll definitely curse us out!"
After hearing their discussion, Dave Burke's lips curled into a slight smile, and he then shared some suggestions he had seen online in France:
"If they don't fit in, just limit their access and support compliant developers."
This is a mandatory requirement, but we won't put it in writing.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room gasped and looked at Dave Burke in shock. If the developers found out about their boss's words, he would definitely be chopped up piece by piece!
In a physical sense!
But this sounds like a really good idea!
After all, while it's not very developer-friendly, it's good news for them.
Sundar Pichai was stunned for a moment, after all, the method was indeed good... but not very civilized.
However, his methods weren't much better...
But if the two are combined, then...
"Cough cough!"
I've never heard of that phrase before.
After saying that, Sundar Pichai turned his head to look in another direction.
"In short, we're not competing with Transsion; we're racing against time!"
He shut his mouth after saying that, but everyone understood that no answer was the best answer.
"But if we do that, won't they criticize us even more harshly?"
"What we want is to criticize them, because after they criticize, they have to adapt."
Our Play Store is their only app distribution channel in overseas markets, and the cost of traffic throttling is greater than that of app adaptation.
And this is just a painful period; I believe they will make the right choice.
While this isn't an elegant method, it's currently the only way to catch up with the online platform in the short term.
Dave Burke nodded, giving the president another way out.
"If handled properly, the Android full-screen application ecosystem will definitely take shape in three months."
Although there were some problems along the way, the result was good.
Sundar Pichai also clapped, but that was all.
He won't take any responsibility!
After all, he didn't know.
No one else offered any further suggestions in the meeting room, because at this point in time, no one could come up with a better alternative.
…………
On March 3rd, Google's official blog released an announcement regarding the Android 4.4.3 full-screen compatibility update.
The announcement was quite cryptic: "Native full-screen support, ushering in a new era of full-screen Android!"
However, this is an exploration of cutting-edge technology, and some problems may arise. We hope that developers will actively communicate with us, and we will set up a special team as soon as possible to solve any related problems for you!
We know that this development has increased your workload a lot, so we have specially set up the brand new Xingqiong Bonus!
Two hundred million in subsidies are waiting for you!
"We have received the assignment and are currently developing it. For the glory of America, we will fully cooperate!"
"The Taishan version is already running stably; we just need to migrate the code!"
This job is so easy!
But what these developers didn't know was that a nightmare was about to unfold for them!
…………
Meanwhile, in China, the rice company immediately forwarded the Weibo post after receiving the push notification.
Lei Jun himself edited the content, and his tone was even more excited than Google's:
Android 4.4.3 update package is here!
Hongfeng is decoding it immediately and adapting it to our MIUI exclusive features. As everyone knows, your MIUI is very smooth and easy to use. This time, it will take the top spot on Android, with an experience that fully matches or even surpasses the Taishan system.
Furthermore, the development speed of the full-screen phone has been greatly accelerated, and it is expected to be officially released in the middle of this year.
This will be a new milestone for rice, as you all know, we recently secured another round of funding.
Therefore, we will launch a genuine subsidy program worth 10 billion yuan, not the fake 10 billion yuan subsidies offered by e-commerce platforms. We are truly subsidizing for free, losing 200 yuan on each phone sold!
We guarantee everyone will get high-quality, affordable new products!
"Thor!"
"Is it really a subsidy of 10 billion? Does that mean I'll see rice priced at 1799?"
"How can we play Glory now? We must avenge our humiliation this time, we have to pay for it!"
"Let me make a wish first: that the Mi 6 will stop using the Snapdragon 801 and be replaced with the latest Snapdragon 810. This processor is said to have a significant improvement in energy efficiency and its benchmark score is similar to that of the Taishan processor. Then, sell it for 1799 yuan. At that time, Honor will definitely die."
"Now I suddenly believe that Honor stole the rice plan, after all, I'm a value-for-money user, I'll follow whoever makes the money [doge emoji]"
Just as the rice vendors were celebrating, chaos erupted on the Android developer forums.
"Compatible with full-screen displays?"
We are also working hard on development here, and we have also brought over the excellent development experience from Taishan.
When I downloaded and ran the project, the playback controls were in full-screen mode, and when I switched to full-screen mode, the screen went completely black.
Is this what native support is?
Then more and more developers flocked in, and the intensity of their complaints grew higher and higher.
"Google's technology has become so bad lately; this full-screen adaptation is worse than any previous version. It's rubbish!"
"We're a news media outlet, not some niche software, how come it keeps crashing after being adapted?"
