California, Google Headquarters.

The two founders had heavy faces, and at the beginning of the new year, they received bad news.

According to statistics from the financial department, in the last year, Google acquired three mobile phone companies in one go and tried to enter the mobile phone industry, but suffered a historic defeat.

The four domestic giants are full of momentum, launching many major battles around the world, sweeping the global mobile phone market.

Even Apple's mobile phone sales plummeted by 53% in just half a year, and Samsung's sales plummeted by 90%, and were beaten to almost withdraw from the market.

This shows how tragic the global war in the mobile phone industry last year was.

The brand's popularity and technical content are far less than that of Apple and Samsung's Google, and they are directly beaten to the abyss of irreversible rebirth. The mobile phone department suffered huge losses and even lost their underwear.

At the same time, the European antitrust judgment was released, and the stubborn and corrupt Europeans gave Google a fine worth 43.4 billion euros.

Moreover, this huge ticket is not a one-time job.

If Google cannot meet the strict requirements of European antitrust agencies in a short period of time, Europeans are likely to send them antitrust investigations once a year.

Bang ~

Larry Page threw down the financial statements in his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose with his hands. "We are in big trouble now. Those Europeans who are ecstatic and Asians with yellow skin have put us in a passive state."

"And there is a steaming steak in front of us. If we want to get rid of the current predicament, it is best to eat this steak now."

Sergey Brin didn't say anything, and the steak Larry mentioned naturally refers to the Android system charges.

According to market research, it can now be basically concluded that Apple and Samsung, which betrayed Google, are no longer able to turn around under the powerful offensive of the Big Four.

The system used by the Big Four happens to be Google's Android.

Is it reasonable for Google to charge Android?

Actually, it is reasonable.

In 2012, Google reached an agreement with China's Ministry of Commerce, which agreed to Google's acquisition of Motorola. At the same time, Google promised not to charge Android within five years.

This is why domestic mobile phone manufacturers can always use Android for free.

Now, five years have passed. If Google charges Android, it is completely reasonable and there will be no loopholes within the legal scope.

The only risk is the boycott of the four domestic giants.

The four giants are now too powerful, accounting for 80% of the world's share.

However, are Chinese manufacturers really determined to resist?

Give up the existing and mature Android without using it, and re-launch an operating system with independent intellectual property rights, everything starts from scratch?

Do they dare?

Sergei Bryn showed a fox-like smile on his face.

He is different from Larry Page. This descendant of the former Soviet immigrants has a smart brain, and his character is as cold as the Siberian cold wave.

Business is bloody. Every giant stands up and steps on countless opponents' bodies under his feet, and Google is no exception.

"At present, the annual sales of smartphones around the world are about 1.2 billion, of which ones use our system. If each phone charges a licensing fee of 40 US dollars, it will be 40 billion US dollars in a year." Larry Page muttered, he was used to the long thinking before his partner made a decision.

Suddenly ~

Sergey Brin laughed, "Our problem is never the charge, but the time."

Larry Page's eyes suddenly lit up, "Time?"

“I spent a long time studying China,” Sergei Blin said. “They have a strange tradition that no matter where they live now, there is always only one home, and that is where they were born.”

"Every Spring Festival, Chinese people will return to the place where they were born like ants, like ants, no matter how far they are, no matter how difficult the transportation is."

"And during this period before the Spring Festival, everyone was unwilling to work and hoped to go home early. Although in my opinion, life after returning home is meaningless, even boring, and doing nothing at home, this is their tradition. No matter what, they have to go back."

Larry Page finally understood what Sergey Brin meant, and the charges were definitely charged, but if the showdown suddenly occurred during the Spring Festival, it would catch those Chinese manufacturers off guard.

The Spring Festival is the most beneficial time for Google.

......

In the dark, an invisible big net is getting tighter and tighter.

Suddenly, news around the world about Google's upcoming charges disappeared.

When interviewed by media, the two founders of Google changed their past style and never mentioned the fact that Android charges were charged.

It creates an illusion for the whole world that Google has given up its intention to charge.

At the same time, they were preparing in full swing and waiting for the most appropriate showdown time in silence.

And in the far east, there was a company that suddenly became silent, that is Xingchen Technology.

This emerging technology giant that made everyone crazy last year suddenly became no longer attracting attention.

There were rumors that they were going to enter the lithium battery industry and were preparing to directly acquire the eighth largest lithium battery manufacturer in the world, which made the technology industry very excited for a while.

However, without any reason, the acquisition was suddenly suspended, and the Ministry of Commerce, which represented the company's external contacts, withdrew its entire staff back to the Baoshan base.

Throughout January, Xingchen Technology's only action was that the Optics Department launched a camera-level coms sensor, officially entering the field of digital cameras and cameras.

The partners are still the four mobile phone giants. Among them, only Xiaomi is making digital cameras, but with Huawei acquiring the old domestic manufacturer Haiou, the four giants have begun to enter this field one after another.

As mobile phone photography quality becomes higher and higher, digital cameras and cameras have become niche markets, so this incident has not caused much trouble in the technology industry.

However, in the technology circle, there is another interesting rumor that has aroused everyone's interest.

It is said that Star Technology has been continuously operating in North America and has signed cooperation agreements with two largest law firms in the United States, Clavas and Lipton.

In the future, if there are legal disputes in North America, Star Technology will have two largest firms in the United States, with full authority.

This news surprised people in the technology circle.

Could it be that Xingchen Technology has predicted that they will have big trouble in the United States in the future, so they spared no expense to hire the most expensive and best lawyer team in the United States?

In short, more and more confusing news came, and the quiet and suffocating atmosphere in the technology circle made some people in the circle begin to doubt.

Is there something big going to happen in this terrible silence?

However, as the Spring Festival approaches, major companies begin to have holidays, and people gradually put aside their attention to the technology circle. When it is time to be busy with the busy year, those who want to go home make appointments to meet in advance and prepare to have a good time during the Spring Festival.

After all, no matter how turbulent the technology world is, life will always continue.

Time flies, January has just passed, and time has come to February 1st. An explosive news suddenly came and instantly ignited the entire world.
