Chapter 101 Unrest
If Google dropped a deep water bomb around the world on February 1st, shocking the entire technology industry.
Then on February 2, the four giants and Star Technology dropped a nuclear bomb.
For a moment, everyone could not calm down. They were deeply shocked by this explosive news, although the war in the technology circle has been burning and becoming more and more intense since last year.
However, all the wars combined last year were far less than the huge impact this time.
On the surface, it is challenging Google, but in fact, they are challenging the hegemony of the US operating system.
This time it happened to be the Chinese New Year again, so the four giants and Star Technology became the most popular topics for people on the streets and alleys.
In any case, an epic war that will be recorded in history is about to begin, and this prelude is unprecedented unity in the entire Chinese science and technology community.
Not only Tencent and Alibaba, Xinmeida, Toutiao, Douyin, Youku, Bilibili, and almost all Internet companies sacrificed their Spring Festival holidays and worked overtime to test the new platform.
A netizen posted a short video on Douyin. He was holding a ticket to his hometown in Hunan from Beijing, but got off in Anhui. He is a system engineer. The company needs him to come back to test the platform overnight. He is also willing to accept this glorious task, but he cannot buy the ticket to go back.
As soon as this short video was released, the entire network was immediately exploded, and instantly, it exceeded 10 million likes, directly setting a new record on Douyin.
Everyone is giving him advice. Some enthusiastic netizens suggested driving him to Beijing overnight. Although they don’t work in the science and technology industry, everyone also wants to contribute to this matter.
But with it, there are more system engineers trapped on the road. After all, the time is too close to the New Year, so how hard it is to buy tickets for the Spring Festival travel rush.
For a moment, online public opinion was completely boiling.
These engineers sacrificed their holidays and rushed back to the company to test the new platform. They were completely ordered to be in danger, but they were trapped on the road one after another. How could netizens continue to watch it? They posted everywhere and pushed the relevant videos to an unprecedented level.
Such a surging public opinion finally alarmed the senior executives of the China Railway Corporation. They issued instructions to require major railway branches across the country to temporarily open green channels, and no matter what, they should send these engineers back to the company as soon as possible.
It is not difficult to tell who is the real passenger in need. Just take the ticket when you come and go to the station service for help.
After all, if there are no special needs, no one will be so stupid that they will turn around halfway, or rush back when they get home.
This matter was done beautifully, and netizens praised Mr. Tie, who was a little flattered. After being scolded for so many years, someone suddenly praised him and felt very uncomfortable...
Luo Jia didn't expect that such a big storm would cause. The system engineers of major technology companies could not even last year, and worked overtime to prepare for the platform switch.
What should I say? They actually underestimated Luo Jia a little.
He had planned for more than half a year and made all the preparations he could make. There was absolutely no problem with directly switching the platform for Android applications. Luo Jia dared to pat his chest and promised that he would not have to mobilize all the troops like this.
Luo Jia quickly asked the company to issue an announcement, warning all partners across the country that Xingchen Technology can ensure the smooth progress of platform switching.
However, after the announcement was issued, no one listened at all.
On the official website of Star Technology, countless engineers left messages.
"It's not that I don't believe you, I really don't dare!"
"Our boss said that even if you promise, we still need to test it on a large scale. After all, if this matter is not done well, it will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!"
"Don't worry about this matter. We are voluntarily working overtime. If you fight, we promise not to drag you down!"
"Come on! If you can get the operating system down, I would rather work overtime every year!"
Luo Jia was speechless. Although the fun of major companies was usually there, everyone was unprecedentedly consistent in this matter.
Unlike many countries, China's history and culture are inherited in an orderly manner. People have read history since childhood. What can be done and what can't be done, what is small right and small wrong, and what is big right and big wrong. History has long told us.
As soon as we talked about dragging our feet, everyone immediately thought of Qin Hui. That thing is so scary and will be infamous for thousands of years. Any Chinese who have received normal education will never want to end up like this.
Therefore, the entire Chinese technology community is like crazy. The more Luo Jia said that he did not need tests, the more they had to test them desperately. If there were no loopholes, they had to find a few for it.
Because no one can afford the consequences.
The Chinese civilization has no religion, and our ancestors and historical heritage are our religion.
History has long told us that no matter what we do, we should not do things that will be nailed to the pillar of history's shame.
In this critical battle for operating system hegemony, whose application cannot be moved after a few days and has a bug, he will be shameless in the circle.
After all, this battle will definitely be recorded in the history of science and technology. If it is not done well in the future, it will be included in the children's textbooks.
In short, the peak showdown in the operating system field has begun unstoppable, and the first shot of the war was initiated by the financial community.
On February 1st, Google Select announced the news at 9 a.m. China time, of course it was purposeful, because behind Google, the power of the entire Wall Street stood.
Just thirty minutes after the news was announced, at 9:30 am, the Chinese stock market and Hong Kong stocks opened at the same time, and they immediately encountered huge shortings.
The three major stock indexes in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong markets all turned green, and technology stocks led the decline. In just fifteen minutes, the decline exceeded 4%. The bond and futures markets also fell sharply.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, China's funds began to be dispatched, taking over at a low level, taking over the pressure from Wall Street's side to smash the market, forcibly supporting the market with huge amounts of funds to prevent the stock index from continuing to fall.
As of the close of the day, the three major Chinese stock indexes all fell by more than three percent, and the turnover volume hit a new high this year.
This is the last trading day of the Chinese stock market before the Spring Festival. From that day on, the stock market has entered the closing stage.
On the night of Chinese time, the two major U.S. stock markets opened, and they had already prepared for a long time to enter the market, which drove Google's stock to rise at a record rate.
At the same time, the Nasdaq and Dow Jones indexes are in a sharp contrast with the Chinese stock market, which fell into a terrible green spot today.
Calculated as a charge of $40 per mobile phone, it will bring Google a net profit of no less than $40 billion per year.
Analysts generally believe that Google's market price should at least double, with a total market value of more than 15,000 US dollars. Some radical analysts even shouted the slogan of 2 trillion US dollars.
Google's stock price has hit new highs repeatedly, setting a record set by Apple in one fell swoop.
As of the close of 4 a.m. the next day, Google's market value reached an unprecedented $1300 billion, and Wall Street giants made a lot of money in this carnival.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Just one day later, news came from China that the four giants joined forces with Star Technology for the second time. They didn't play with Google and wanted to directly push their operating system!
This news caused the Wall Street tycoons to collapse on the spot. They never expected that the four giants and Star Technology would be so strong!
This is a rhythm of turning against each other completely!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, on the evening of February 2, Chinese funds counterattacked strongly and entered the two major US stock markets in large numbers. At the pace of yesterday, they also suffered a bloody blow.
As of the close of the day, Google's market value was reduced from $1300 billion to $800 billion.
Star Technology vs Google, the first round of the epic battle.
Chapter completed!
