return to bolang life

Chapter 267
Tuesday night.

Andy made a second round of response to John's voice on behalf of Aliyun.

'Battlefield' is still on the official Android community.

Of course Aliyun is so happy.

If we can argue clearly in this official Android community, and Aliyun asks Ali to connect with Google, wouldn't things turn around again?

No matter how slim the hope is!
Even the industry is watching with cold eyes~
Andy's response continued the sharpness and sincerity of the first utterance.

To the effect:
"Hi John Sperridge - We agree that Aliyun OS is not part of the Android ecosystem, so there is no guarantee of compatibility.

However, the fact is that Aliyun has adopted Android's runtime libraries, framework libraries and tools.

Your app store also covers Android apps (including Google's pirated apps).

Therefore, there is no dispute that Aliyun is based on the Android platform, and you have also taken advantage of the hard work of OHA members on this platform.

So, if you want to benefit from the Android ecosystem, then choose compatibility.

It's easy to use, it's free, and we can even help you out.

But if you don't want to maintain compatibility, then don't count on the help of OHA members, know that they are committed to developing and supporting a unified Android ecosystem. "

"..."

This time the meaning is very clear.

It is of course possible to modify Android, but for the sake of the Android ecosystem, the modified Android system must pass CTS (compatibility testing), so that OHA (Open Handset Alliance) members will cooperate with you.

Otherwise, don't even think about benefiting from the Android ecosystem.

If you want to benefit from the Android ecosystem, but don't want to maintain compatibility, Google certainly has the ability to make OHA members not cooperate.

Because Google has the ability to release the cooperation between relevant OHA members and Android products and related technology authorization.

In addition, Andy also gave evidence that Aliyun OS is a modified version of Android, which uses Android's runtime library, framework library, and development tools.

And, Aliyun OS's built-in app market contains pirated apps from Google Apps.

Wen Liang kept a close eye on the development of the incident.

I saw Andy's new response for the first time. After reading the full text, he felt that the father of Android was really a helpful person from beginning to end.

Judging from the current development situation, Andy is Bolang's absolute ally.

These responses of his spread to the domestic cyberspace, and it is too easy to be guided.

It is estimated that even Ali regards Andy as a friendly army.

Because of Andy's voice, from the perspective of public opinion, promotion, etc., the confusion blurred a very important detail——

Google has never put pressure on Aliyun!

Yes, Google has never directly aimed at Aliyun, it is aimed at Acer, and the pressure is also given to Acer.

Because it can't manage Aliyun OS at all.

At present, most Android UIs are modified based on AOSP, an open source project led by Google itself.

Since the establishment of the AOSP project, any individual or company around the world can modify and release their own OS in accordance with the same open source agreement.

It doesn't matter what it's called.

Including MIUI, Flyme, etc.

No matter the domestic market or foreign market, you can adjust it casually.

Including the direct release of mobile phones by newly established mobile phone brands, there is no problem at all.

The premise is:
Any Google resources, frameworks, and ecology including GMS (Google Service Framework, Google Play Store, Google Play Services) cannot be used in any form.

Because GMS is the driving force for Google to develop and promote Android.

Because at present, all mobile phone systems are not profitable by themselves and rely on the application ecology to make money.

iOS relies on the 30% commission from the App Store.

Google relies on GMS and takes a percentage to see the cooperation agreement.

And because of certain special and historical factors, Google did not make money from Android in China at all.

Therefore, in the domestic market, manufacturers have played their own service frameworks;

That's why there are as many as hundreds of Android application distribution channels in the domestic market.

The only thing that Google can put pressure on the Android market from beginning to end is GMS.

Google stopped the press conference of Aliyun OS and Acer, saying that if Acer continues to cooperate with Aliyun, it will cancel the cooperation with Acer Android products and related technology authorization, including GMS.

Acer certainly can not listen to Google.

After all, Google's pressure is based on the OHA alliance, and Acer will withdraw from the alliance at worst.

But... Acer doesn't.

Even if it is reported that an unnamed high-level executive of Acer said that he still wants to continue to release smartphones equipped with Aliyun OS;
But the cancellation of the press conference is already a very clear statement.

Acer obviously does not want to turn against Google, and does not want to lose related cooperation and technology authorization.

In summary.

The essence of the matter is already clear.

Moreover, as far as Wen Liang knows, the general manager of Acer's global smartphone business and Ma Ali seemed to have a little communication before, and in all likelihood, he was limped by Ma Da.

Now that the press conference is canceled, the loss and responsibility are all troublesome.

In addition, Aliyun obviously wanted to struggle again, so Aliyun chatted with Google.

In Wen Liang's view, Google officials will not talk to Aliyun.

No matter how clear the technical issues are, it is difficult to change the commercial nature inside.

Because no matter whether Aliyun OS is modified based on Android or not, it is actually 'stealing' the resources of the Google App Store, and it also wants to use OHA members.

There is also a more 'interesting' thing here, Google has no control over the Aliyun OS in China.

Just like Google can't manage hundreds of app distribution channels in China.

The business of these application distribution channels is no different from that of Aliyun OS in terms of commercial nature. They have both "stealed" the resources of the Google App Store and split the Google application ecosystem.

Moreover, this is a problem left over from history caused by various factors. Usually, everyone turns a blind eye to it.

The difference is that Aliyun chose Acer, a mobile phone manufacturer that joined OHA this time, and Acer is unwilling to turn against Google, which is why it has such a development.

…………

As for why Wen Liang thinks Andy is a friend, the reason is very simple.

Andy is probably thinking of a man of science and engineering, and the two responses were generally directed at pointing out specific technical problems.

Everyone can talk on the phone.

There are no technical issues.

There are too many details that can be blurred, plus open source... There has always been a tradition of foreign open source and domestic self-development.

in case……

While thinking about it, Wen Liang murmured to himself: "According to common sense, Aliyun will guide domestic topics to a grand narrative perspective."

A very reasonable guess.

Because right now, whether it is Aliyun's official statement, Dr. Wang's public statement on self-research, or the vice president John, they are all deliberately pretending to be confused.

Therefore, Wen Liang quickly made a decision, and he directly contacted Li Ze.

"Mr. Ze, what do you and the PR think?"

Li Ze quickly briefly described the latest arrangement: "We judge that Google will not make any official response, and there is a high probability that it will end, so we plan to start promoting it slowly."

"In addition, according to incomplete statistics, Aliyun seems to be unable to control the media to spread the overseas situation. They seem to be deliberately letting go. We are discussing whether to delay it."

Wen Liang said sure enough, and directly expressed his position: "We will not do anything, let Aliyun perform first, Aliyun and the others may take the initiative to bring the wind direction to the point we need."

Li Ze instantly understood: "Understood, the grand narrative angle!"

Wen Liang emphasized: "Be prepared to take over the performance at any time, this scene has been prepared for so long, don't mess it up."

Li Ze fully understood: "The application ecology we want now only needs the support of programmers. The technical point of view has long been settled. I will make arrangements to make everyone interested in building their own application ecology."

"Okay." Wen Liang affirmed.

Things have developed to this point, and the overall environment is far more favorable than Wen Liang imagined.

This wave may be able to borrow a big wind.

Wen Liang now only hopes that Aliyun will be braver.

As for Aliyun's fate, what does the undead have to do with Bo Lang?

Whether he is an ordinary person or a businessman, Wen Liang scoffs at the phenomenon of foreign open source and domestic self-research.

This is not just a piece of rat droppings ruining a pot of porridge, but also a bad habit that is contagious, a violation of the rules, and the greatest injustice to An Xin's research.

The reason why Bolang is now using such and such things to develop the mobile phone business instead of being open and honest is also necessarily related to this general environment.

The idea of ​​peers is actually very simple:
We don't do our own research, we just use it when we get it. If you Bo Lang is doing self-research, it shows that we are incompetent, right?

In a disguised form, our product is spicy chicken, in case everyone really thinks our product is spicy chicken, how can we cheat people?How can we make money if we can't cheat people? ①
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, you know!

Gan, you didn't discuss it!
As for why the peers are watching Aliyun OS jumping up and down, because everyone is the same.

When a ray of light enters darkness, the light becomes evil, unless the ray of light never leaves, is salvation.

But if this beam of light has no root or source, how can it last forever?
…………

The subsequent development did not disappoint Bolang.

Sure enough, Aliyun began to consciously guide the trend of online discussions through publicity.

Ali's first round of statements and Andy's two rounds of responses were reprinted in the original version to domestic cyberspace, without even a translation.

Relevant online media also quickly reported.

[Latest news, the father of Android responded to Google’s ban on Aliyun OS in the official Android community. 】

[Aliyun OS may have been treated unfairly. 】

[Andy admits that Aliyun OS is not part of the Android ecosystem. 】

【…】

Speaking at the technical level is too easy to be brought out of various rhythms.

This is not over yet.

Immediately afterwards, Ali Vice President John issued a new statement again.

[Aliyun OS uses a self-developed virtual machine, which is different from Android's Dalvik virtual machine.

In addition, Aliyun OS has a cloud application engine (cloud app engine) developed by Aliyun to support html5 and web applications.

Aliyun OS uses some (open source) Android application frameworks and tools, this is just a patch!
In order to allow cloud application users to easily use other third-party apps in our ecosystem! 】

This statement is in response to Andy.

Emphasized that the Aliyun OS core is self-developed, indicating that only some open source frameworks are used as patches.

As Wen Liang guessed, Aliyun insisted on pretending to be ignorant, and insisted on self-developed propaganda.

Undoubtedly, the wind is heading for a grand narrative perspective...

①: This is the reality, so I won’t give examples.

PS: There are still dozens of monthly tickets that can be added for another update. Why don’t you come a little~Clear at the end of the month~
