Chapter 27 Go to Wuxi

Silicon Valley, Google's parent company, alphabet.

The butterflies far away in East Asia flapped their wings, but triggered a global tsunami.

Tens of thousands of engineers from Google have not been closed for two days. They are trying to crack the mobile assistant and figure out what kind of kernel the software is equipped with.

Unfortunately, like all cracking teams around the world, they are helpless in the face of mobile phone assistants packaged with extra-star civilization technology.

"The final conclusion from our engineering team and major elite laboratories is that this software uses a packaging that none of us have seen before, and it is completely impossible to crack it." Technical director Ginniak was a little desperate and reported the results to the two bosses.

Bang ~

Sergey Brin rotated the atomic pen in his hand, which was his habit when thinking, while another Google founder, Larry Page, shrugged in disappointment.

"Look, the Android system was clearly created by us, but it was made into what the Chinese people." Larry Page said, "Now, even we who created Android have lost control of it. I doubt that the Android system will become the weapon of those Chinese mobile phone companies in the future."

Sergey Brin still didn't say anything. In fact, Google has been preparing to regain control of Android, first using free strategies to expand the market, and then relying on monopoly advantages to make huge profits. This has always been a common method used by Internet companies.

As early as 2016, Google launched the Pixel series of mobile phones, trying to learn from Apple and take full control of software and hardware.

Unfortunately, the partner company they chose at that time was HTC, Taiwan Province. HTC was already dying under the siege of Samsung and the giants four and had no ability to help Google realize their ambitions.

Later, Google acquired an important design department of HTC, and at the same time cooperated with manufacturers like LG, secretly preparing to reshuffle in the mobile phone industry.

Suddenly ~

Sergey Brin finished thinking and stopped suddenly at the atomic pen in his hand.

The other two looked at him at the same time, and those who knew Google knew that this child, born in the former Soviet Union and immigrant family, had the coldness and determination unique to the fighting nation, and he never concealed his disgust for the former Soviet system.

"No one can take away what belongs to us." Sergey Bryn's tone of speaking was like a cold wave from Siberia. "In the mobile phone industry, we are the biggest players. Other players have only two choices. If they don't obey, they will be eliminated."

Larry Page and Ginniak both had their eyes lit up, "You mean, keep moving forward with the Glacier Project?"

The Glacier Project is a project that Google has been secretly promoting in recent years. It has only one goal to get back control of Android, ending the era when any manufacturer can customize the system based on Android, and establish Google's mobile phone hegemony.

Sergei Brin shrugged, "We are a huge enterprise. In the past, we only used one percent of our strength to advance the glacier plan. In the future, we can adjust our strength to ten percent and end this war within twelve months."

......

Li Moran drove his Mercedes-Benz C200 sedan, and Luo Jia was dizzy and sat in the passenger seat. The two of them rushed to Wuxi City, where the robot factory was located, according to the address provided by Taobao.

Wuxi is not far from Shanghai, and is separated by Gusu in the middle. When leaving the city, it is caught up with traffic congestion.

When I left the city and entered the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, the road became much smoother. I walked forward at an average speed of about 100 kilometers. When I finally arrived in Wuxi, it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost dark.

"Let's find a place to live first." Luo Jia said to Li Moran.

They opened a suite in a holiday hotel, and then drove to a hotel with a very high rating score in Dianban and asked for local specialty fish and crabs.

After drinking two bowls of fish soup, Luo Jia felt that she was almost awake. She was just drinking at noon, but she didn't eat anything. She was hungry at this moment, so she asked the boss to add some small buns.

This hotel is quite high-end, with an average per capita consumption of about 200 yuan. There were three middle-aged men sitting at a table next door. They were dressed well, and they all seemed like business owners. The private economy in the Yangtze River Delta region is well developed, and there are quite a lot of small bosses who open factories.

Luo Jia heard the three of them sigh and complained that the market was not good, and how much money he lost this month. In the past, he used to drink Wuliangye, but now he could only drink Yanghe Daqu. In the past, it was difficult for workers to find them, but now the workers cannot find jobs, and the companies are desperately laying off people.

Alas ~

Li Moran sighed, "It's all a trade war. I don't know how long it will take to end the trade war with the United States. If this continues, it will have a great impact on the real economy."

Luo Jia silently picked up a crab on the plate, skillfully lifted the lid, and ate the crab roe inside.

"Do you care about the African people?" Luo Jia asked.

Suddenly asking this question?

Li Moran was a little confused. He thought for a while, "I don't know much, nor do I care too much. After all, the distance is so far and there is no intersection."

Luo Jia nodded, "In the eyes of Europe and the United States, we are just like Africa in our eyes, different people, different cultures, and different languages."

"Times have changed. According to customs statistics last year, 58.3% of my country's exported products were mechanical and electrical products. In the past, we made some socks and shirts, and no one cared about them, but now, the exported mobile phones, computers, cars, construction machinery, and ships."

"Those things are the most expensive business in Europe and the United States. People don't care about you, and you still rob other people's jobs. The old saying goes, robbing people's money is like killing parents."

"The trade war is just a manifestation of friction. In fact, it is a comprehensive war from culture to industry. The last time the two powerful forces compete for hegemony appeared on the earth, it was the United States and the Soviet Union. The result was that the Soviet Union completely collapsed and disintegrated in 1991. People should not be too naive. The war related to the battle for hegemony cannot end easily."

Li Moran was shocked. If he hadn't known Luo Jia, he would never have believed that the young man who was gnawing crabs in front of him was not nineteen years old.

After dinner, Luo Jia asked Li Moran to drive and go to the factory overnight to check it out.

The factory is not in the industrial park, but is alone between two small towns. It is surrounded by large rice fields. It looks quite desolate. There are no people in the factory. There are only a few street lights on and there is a man in charge of guarding the door at the door.

Luo Jia took out two boxes of soft Chinese from her backpack and threw them to the guardian. When the old man saw that it was a good cigarette, he quietly put it in his pocket and started chatting with Luo Jia enthusiastically.

It turned out that this was a factory of a rich second generation in the next town. Their family started out as a shipyard. After graduating from university, the rich second generation wanted to start a business, so they took some money from their family and set up this robot assembly factory, preparing to make a fortune while the robot industry is booming.

Who would have thought that high-end and high-end industries such as robots are far from shipbuilding, and they have been losing money since they opened.

The rich second generation has no patience, so they gradually stopped caring about the affairs in the factory, went to invest in the live broadcast industry, set up a performing arts company, and raised a large number of internet celebrities, and posed in small rooms every day.

The guardian was bored alone and took Luo Jia's good cigarettes. Naturally, he knew everything. He wanted to turn the rich second generation's house upside down, and even told Luo Jia where the mistress he raised lived.

The situation was almost understood, Luo Jia said goodbye to the uncle and asked Li Moran to drive back to the hotel.
