Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 266 Android: You can't leave me

Just as Lei Jun was making all the preparations, three days later, Google's specialists flew to Guangzhou ahead of him.

The person who arrived was James Holland, Vice President of Google's Android division. He was in his early forties, and he didn't act arrogantly; he spoke very politely.

Upon entering Shen Fei's office, he anxiously said, "Mr. Shen, Google doesn't want to sue Transsion."

We hope to find a solution that is acceptable to both sides.

Shen Fei looked at him, his face filled with shock.

Transsion phones have never used the Android system from the beginning, so what do they have to talk about? However, Shen Fei still wanted to hear their proposal.

"Mr. Shen, Transsion will continue to use Android globally and abandon the TaiShan system. Google has reinstated its GMS license to Transsion."

We will not charge any patent fees, as long as you give up the development of the Taishan system.

Then we will withdraw the lawsuit, and both parties will officially announce the cooperation.

Shen Fei laughed. He was about to successfully switch to a new system, and now someone was advising him to give up his better self-developed system in exchange for a free full-fledged Android system.

"Mr. Holland, do you think it's possible?"

"Why not? Android is open, and GMS is Google's service. In Europe and many other countries, consumers simply cannot live without the Google suite."

They are already deeply integrated with these software programs, so the experience will be better.

"But ever since you announced your withdrawal from the Chinese market, the Chinese market has gotten used to not using the Google suite."

GMS has no value to the Chinese market.

"What about overseas markets?"

"In overseas markets, Transsion has its own ecosystem."

The app store, cloud services, and map-based payment are all self-developed and do not require GMS.

James Holland's expression changed.

"Mr. Shen, does our relationship have to get so strained?"

You need to understand that if Transsion were to leave the Android ecosystem, it would become an isolated island. An isolated island has no communication with the outside world and is destined to fail and perish.

"Sound transmission isn't an isolated island; sound transmission is like a lone wolf, like a fruit." Shen Fei looked at him. "Mr. Holland, you've got one thing wrong."

Transsion doesn't want to break away from Android; it has never trusted Android.

Android is open source, and we will continue to use it.

But we don't need Google's services.

James Holland frowned and clenched his fists. What did he mean by "telepathic communication"? He had never trusted Android, yet he was still going to continue using it...

Doesn't this Chinese man think there's something wrong with what he said?

"Fruit companies can develop their own operating systems, and we at Transsion can do the same by relying on the Chinese market."

This place has never been the isolated island you described, but a billion-dollar market. We can cultivate a fully domestically developed system, although it will take some time.

James Holland was stunned by these words for a long time, and he remained silent for quite some time.

"Mr. Shen, what you're doing is putting Google in a very difficult position."

"Mr. Holland, Google's lawsuit against Transsion is what's putting me in a difficult position."

The two stared at each other for a few seconds. James Holland stood up, his expression changed. His previous politeness had disappeared, replaced by a deep threat.

"Mr. Shen, I hope you can reconsider. Google's sincerity is limited."

Shen Fei also stood up.

"Mr. Holland, even the patience to communicate telepathically is limited."

You have your tricks, and I have mine. If this continues, we'll see what happens.

Holland left, and Shen Fei's phone rang.

It's Li Qing.

"Boss, the United States has officially issued an announcement."

Plans to ban Motorola sales are set to be discussed at next week's meeting, citing national security threats.

The main focus of the discussion is the MT900.

"understood."

After hanging up the phone, he sighed silently to himself. It seemed he really needed to find a "stepfather" for Motorola.

However, the patents have already been exhausted, so it's just a shell; they can sell it if they want.

There should be someone in China who wants it.

Meanwhile, at LX Company, the legal and strategic acquisition departments were busy.

They weren't celebrating; they were discussing the risks of acquiring Motorola.

But Boss Liu said that since we're going to do it, let's go for it without worry. As for the risks, there's no need to worry. As far as he knows, the ban on Transmit is not because of Motorola's sovereignty.

Therefore, as long as they honestly abide by the relevant regulations, they have nothing to fear in acquiring Motorola.

…………

Meanwhile, on June 15th, at the fruit company headquarters.

Cook convened a major meeting with all shareholders, and all shareholders were present.

This was the first meeting of its kind, aside from the day Cook took office.

Most of the shareholders in the meeting room did not look pleased; their eyes were full of doubt towards him.

After all, the market manager was reading a report at that moment.

"The market share of fruit in China has fallen from 5% to 3%."

The main reason is the double attack from Transsion and Motorola.

Their two products combined already hold over 65% of the high-end market share in China.

Cook put down the report, not disappointed, but rather satisfied with his work.

After all, the decline in sales was not due to a decrease in shipments, but rather because sales in the Chinese market increased.

However, their increase did not keep up with the overall market growth.

"What's even more serious is that the S2 is priced at 3999 yuan, which is 1000 yuan cheaper than our Fruit 4."

Their hardware is superior to ours, and their screens are even larger; this is the main reason for our poor sales.

The other shareholders remained silent, still questioning...

"The sound transmission technology is already self-sufficient in terms of screen, sensors, and batteries."

Their costs are at least 20% lower than ours; we have no cost advantage whatsoever.

After the head of the marketing department finished reading, the meeting room moved into the Q&A session.

One of the directors stood up and questioned:

When did Transsion develop to this stage?

"It started last year, but we added screens and cameras this year," said the head of the marketing department. "Mr. Steve Jobs also reviewed the relevant reports."

However, he didn't take it seriously.

The shareholder sighed deeply, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, Steve Jobs was notoriously arrogant!

What can he say now? Should he run up to Jobs' new house, squat down in front of him, and yell at him?

"How are our profit margins?"

"It's still the highest in the industry, but sales have started to decline."

After answering a few questions briefly, Cook finally revealed his true purpose for the day.

"I have a suggestion."

He stood up, walked to the whiteboard, and wrote a number: 15%.

"Fruit 5, price reduced by 15%"
