Chapter 486: Boycott with your head? Tencent draws the sword!
"Xingyi Technology's software can easily have 300 to 400 million users through system integration and push. How can we compete with them?"

"Don't talk about us. Baidu is a big company, right? Baidu Maps has been ruined by their Amap!"

"We will be in trouble if this continues. If Xingyi Technology makes any software, all its peers will die!"

"I suggest that we unite and boycott Xingyi Technology together!"

"Yes, Xingyi Technology is destroying the entire software industry. We must resist it!"

"That's right, let's boycott Xingyi Technology and the XOS system together!"

……

The more they spoke, the more fierce and angry they became.

But everyone else fell silent and no one agreed.

This made several people even more angry, and some people even asked: "Why don't you say anything? If Xingyi Technology does this, we will all die!"

Hearing this, Youdao Dictionary CEO Liu Wenzhe sighed: "Boycott? What are you going to use to boycott? Use your head to boycott?"

"It is really infuriating that Xingyi Technology can develop a piece of software and reach hundreds of millions of users in a short period of time through the push of hundreds of millions of terminals and system advantages, but what can we do?"

"Lao Sun, you guys are in the business of driving test manuals. If you don't boycott and actively adapt to the XOS system, Xingyi Technology will be fine. Whether it's advertising revenue or membership revenue, you'll make a lot of money."

"But if all the software for the driving test guide resists the XOS system and is not compatible, what will Xingyi Technology do?"

"They will spend a month to make a Xingyi driving test guide!"

"It will not only be available on the XOS system, but also on the Android platform, IOS platform, and WP8 platform."

"Then, through hundreds of millions of terminals and our own resources, we can quickly promote it and reach hundreds of millions of users in two or three months, and then we can beat all of your peers!"

"This..." Those who boycotted fell silent, and Lao Sun's expression became extremely ugly.

But the others agreed and spoke up:
"Old Liu is right. This is the current situation. If we actively adapt to the XOS system, Xingyi Technology will not make similar software, and everyone can make money. If we don't actively adapt, Xingyi Technology will have to develop it on its own and grow rapidly. Then we will be the ones to die."

"That's right, Mr. Wang is reasonable. The businesses they are engaged in are either emerging businesses or competing with BAT. Mr. Wang doesn't care about our little piece of land, so don't worry about it."

"It is better to adapt to the XOS system as soon as possible, and don't force Xingyi Technology to do it by itself. No one wants to compete with Xingyi Technology!"

"This……"

Those who previously called for a boycott also understood this truth and all stopped:
"Mr. Liu is right. If we don't resist, we can still survive. But if we resist, we will surely die."

Old Sun also nodded: "I was wrong. We really need to adapt as soon as possible. Once Xingyi Technology is defeated, it will be over."

Others also spoke up: "That's right, hurry up and adapt to the XOS system. If you can't beat them, just join them. There's nothing wrong with that."

Hearing this, Liu Wenzhe breathed a sigh of relief:

"I think Mr. Wang will give us two months. If the software can be adapted within two months, that's good. If the software can't be adapted within two months, Xingyi Technology might develop it on its own. By then, everyone knows the consequences..."

"Old Liu is right, this must be the case, everyone should hurry up and adapt."

"Adapt it as soon as possible. My software is small and it will be done in half a month."

"Mine is a bit more complicated, it will probably take one or two months."

"It won't work!" Liu Wenzhe waved his hand: "I've studied it, and the XOS system is very easy to adapt, much simpler than Android!"

"Is this true?" Everyone looked in disbelief.

Liu Wenzhe said: "The Android system has one set of code for mobile phones, one set of code for TVs, and one set of code for tablets. For one Android app, you may need to employ three groups of people and create three sets of code."

Everyone nodded, it was indeed true.

Android software on mobile phones will have bugs if you put it directly on TV, and you will have to start from scratch.

The same is true for tablets.

Therefore, Android applications are divided into mobile version, TV version, and HD version for tablets.

It's not generally complicated.

Liu Wenzhe continued, "The XOS system is very powerful and intelligent. Xingyi Technology has already made the framework and list. We only need to make one set of code and add automatic switching between horizontal and vertical screens. At that time, the default screen will be horizontal on Xingyi TVs, and vertical on mobile phones and tablets. When you turn sideways, it will automatically switch to horizontal."

"Is this true? Just one set of code will do?" Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Of course it's true. My programmers have studied it." Liu Wenzhe said with a smile.

Everyone was delighted: "That's great. I have three teams working on Android, and the cost is extremely high. XOS system can be done with one system, which is great."

Liu Wenzhe nodded and continued: "Most importantly, my programmer found a problem."

"What's the problem?" Everyone became interested.

Liu Wenzhe pretended to be mysterious and said: "When developing Android software, if you encounter a problem, you can't find where the bug is. You have to eliminate it bit by bit."

Everyone nodded. The biggest problem in Android development is to find bugs, fix bugs, new bugs appear, continue to fix bugs, new bugs appear, and find bugs again...

"The XOS system is very powerful. If there is any problem when your software is running, it will directly prompt you where the problem is. It will not leave you at a loss as to where to start. You can just prescribe the right remedy when the time comes."

"What the hell? Is this true? Is the XOS system so powerful?"

"It must be fake, right? How can it be so powerful?"

Everyone was completely unconvinced, and some even began to doubt Liu Wenzhe:
"Lao Liu, you keep saying how good the XOS system is. Did you take money from Xingyi Technology?"

Liu Wenzhe frowned: "We have been friends for so many years, and you don't believe me?"

"Then why do you keep saying that the XOS system is good and urging us to actively adapt to it?"

Liu Wenzhe sighed, "What I'm making is a dictionary software. There are too many similar software. If I don't adapt, the users will be snatched away by my peers like Kingsoft Dictionary."

Everyone nodded.

For a category, as long as one software is adapted to the XOS system, it’s done.

It's meaningless for others to take on the responsibility.

Only by uniting together can we be incompatible.

Liu Wenzhe continued: "After a simple adaptation, we tried running it on the XOS system and found a bug, which directly pointed out the problem. Our engineers took a look and found that there was indeed a problem. After fixing it, it worked. Then we looked at the Android side and found that there was indeed the same problem, which was also fixed."

"???" Everyone was stunned:

"You found the bug in XOS and found the problem in the Android version?"

"Fuck, so amazing?"

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Liu Wenzhe sighed: "Unbelievable, right? But that's the truth."

"If you don't believe me, just try it and you'll know."

"Anyway, my people have already made up their minds that if there are bugs in Android that can't be found, they will make an XOS version first, and use XOS to guide the Android version and help find the bugs."

"That's awesome!"

No one knew what to say.

Liu Wenzhe said with a smile: "I feel that the software development of XOS is like a set of automatic programs. It is much easier than Android and iOS, and it does not waste much energy."

"That's great, I'm also suitable."

"Yes, it's easy. One set of code can be used on all platforms. It saves trouble. I will adapt it too."

At one time, everyone made up their minds and adapted.

The conference that originally jointly boycotted the XOS system has also become a conference for active adaptation.

After the show, Liu Wenzhe returned to his car and made a phone call:
"Boss Wei, I have also defeated those developers who wanted to boycott XOS. They will all actively adapt to the XOS system..."

Wei Xin smiled and said, "Well done. I'll make a note of this."

"Mr. Wei, you are too serious. It's just a small matter. XOS is such a good system. It is the pride of China. We should actively adapt it..."

Liu Wenzhe was in a good mood. Now his software would definitely get strong support from the XOS system!
Afterwards, Wei Xin reported the matter to his boss Yang Yan.

In order to promote the XOS system, both overt and covert tactics must be used.

But there are some things that Wang Yi and Yang Yan are not suitable to take action on.

But the people below know what to do, and even if something really goes wrong, the subordinates will take full responsibility.

At that time, the company will criticize them and then make a demotion in name only and a raise in reality...

Similar incidents occur in all companies.

It was not until the early morning when the annual meeting ended that Wang Yi and Song Sining returned to Yiheyuanzhu together.

Everyone else also went back home or to the hotel arranged by the company.

"You drank a lot." Song Si Ning felt a little distressed, and asked someone to prepare honey water as soon as she entered the door.

At occasions like the annual meeting, senior executives and directors from various departments came to toast Wang Yi. They were all heroes, so Wang Yi had to express his gratitude, and he ended up drinking quite a bit.

Honey water is rich in glucose and fructose, which can promote the decomposition of alcohol in the body and relieve headaches and fatigue symptoms caused by drinking.

After drinking some honey water, Wang Yi felt much better. Looking at the gentle Song Si Ning in front of him, he smiled and said:
"Si Ning, I'm hungry."

"Are you hungry? Then I'll make you something to eat!" After saying that, Song Si Ning was about to get up, but was pulled into Wang Yi's arms.

Song Sining: "..."

You are hungry...

The next day, the two of them slept until nine o'clock before getting up.

After the annual meeting, it is the annual holiday.

Xingyi Technology Park has become much quieter.

Except for the people on duty in each department who take turns to maintain normal operations, everyone else has started their annual leave.

Just one by one, with smiles on their faces.

After working hard for a year and earning an annual salary of hundreds of thousands or even millions, now returning to my hometown can be considered a glorious return!

Others have to go home for blind dates, and have already arranged several dates, with several girls waiting in line.

There is no way. Everyone knows that Xingyi Technology has high salaries and good development. The employees of Xingyi Technology are elites with good incomes and bright futures.

In 2013, when the average annual income per capita was to yuan, Xingyi Technology's average annual income per capita was to yuan, which was simply invincible.

When I returned to my hometown, I killed people indiscriminately.

Of course, it may not work in some places, such as Wang Yi’s hometown.

Not made up!

Most other departments have started their holidays, except for the chat department.

All staff are still on duty. The Spring Festival is approaching and they still have a tough battle to fight!
After breakfast, Song Si Ning couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to the company today?"

"No, it's New Year's Day, it's time for a holiday, let's go out and have fun today! Let's go on a date!"

"Okay!" Song Si Ning was in a good mood and quickly found a mask and scarf.

The two of them were fully armed and started their rare date.

Usually, either Wang Yi is busy or Song Si Ning is busy, and they are not in the same city.

We can only get together at press conferences and annual meetings, but they come and go in a hurry. It is rare to have time for a date nowadays.

The two went to the Forbidden City and it happened to be snowing.

Wang Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Whenever it snows, the Forbidden City will have an extra sense of fate."

Song Si Ning understood immediately: "Palace, Startling by Each Step, and The Legend of Zhen Huan are all like this."

Wang Yi nodded.

There is also "Story of Yanxi Palace", which is even more stunning when paired with the song "The Sound of Snow Falling".

No wonder palace fighting dramas have been hits one after another and have remained popular for a long time.

All I can say is that the commercial value behind this track YYDS is immeasurable.

The hit drama “Startling by Each Step” two years ago brought Zhen You into the spotlight.

The Forbidden City red lipstick has become the hot item of the year!
Last year's "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was exclusively broadcast on Xingyi Video, which brought Xingyi Video membership income and advertising income of more than ten billion.

Boss Jia regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

With "The Legend of Lu Zhen" about to be aired this year, Zhao Xiaodao can go even further.

When there are no good palace fighting dramas in two years, we can make "Story of Yanxi Palace".

Wang Yi had a plan.

Whether Xingyi TV sells well or not depends on whether the TV series is a hit.

The most common use of buying a TV these days is to watch TV series, and some people buy it for playing games.

After playing with Song Si Ning for a whole day, Wang Yi and Song Si Ning did not return to Yiheyuan until the evening.

After another fierce battle, the two men fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Wang Yi looked at the company email and was in a good mood:
"Si Ning, this annual meeting was very successful and the results were very good. A large number of application vendors have begun to adapt to the XOS system, and some software has already completed the adaptation!"

It may take several months to develop a piece of software.

But it is much easier to adapt the already developed software to the XOS system.

For example, "Protecting Grapefruit" was completed in just one week.

"Happy Match 3" completed the adaptation in just two weeks.

Even a large-scale mobile game like "Star Hunter" only took one month.

Similarly, a large software like Changchat takes more than a month, while other small and medium-sized software only takes one to three weeks.

For example, Sina Weibo completed the adaptation in ten days and landed on the XOS App Store.

Seeing that Sina Weibo had gone online, the other three platforms could no longer remain calm.

Two days later, Tencent Weibo launched the XOS system.

Three days later, NetEase Weibo and Sohu Weibo also launched the XOS system.

There is no way around it. The four major Weibo platforms are all competing for users, so naturally they are all competing to adapt to the XOS system.

Similarly, after JD.com first launched the XOS platform, Taobao and Tmall also launched the XOS system half a month later.

In addition, other software also rushed to adapt to the XOS system and go online before the New Year.

Such a fast speed even shocked Wang Yi.

The reason for this is that the software in 2013 was relatively simple and its functions were not as complicated as they would be ten years later.

Therefore, the software that would take a month to adapt ten years later can now be completed in the next half of the month.

Secondly, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and all programmers are eager to go home. They all burst into 100% efficiency, and those who were originally slacking off no longer do so.

No one wants to work overtime at the company to adapt XOS during the Chinese New Year!

On the contrary, if you complete the adaptation early, you can go home for the annual leave earlier.

If it cannot be completed, then we will have to work 996 during the Chinese New Year.

Without any surprise, all the major mainstream software for the XOS system started to be adapted in January, and they have completed the adaptation and launched on the XOS platform in the past few days.

Under the influence of the annual meeting, small and medium-sized application platforms have also begun to adapt and sprint.

The software in the XOS app store is increasing rapidly every day.

A thriving attitude.

Wang Yi was very satisfied with this: "Si Ning, if this momentum continues, by the end of March, it is estimated that a large number of popular applications will have been adapted to XOS. Our Xphone 2 Pro, which will be launched in April and equipped with a pure XOS system, will be completely stable."

"Yes, if we make it pure blood directly, it will immediately explode with a 60% improvement. Xphone 2 Pro will definitely sell out completely." Song Si Ning was delighted.

Wang Yi nodded: "By then, Xphone 1, Xphone 1 Pro, Xphone 2, and Xingyi tablet will all be upgraded to XOS system."

"After the upgrade, will there be a learning curve for old users? Will they be uncomfortable with it?" Song Sining was a little worried.

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "No, the Android system we used before was also a deeply customized XUI operating interface, and the underlying architecture was rewritten. To put it bluntly, all the operating logic is not Android logic, but our modified XUI interaction logic."

"Our XOS system and XUI interaction logic are consistent, but with some new features, and the performance and fluency have been greatly improved, so users don't need to relearn or re-adapt."

"Even previous contacts, text messages and other data are stored in the Xingyi Cloud service and can be directly synchronized."

Song Sining understood what Wang Yi meant.

Compared with the previous deeply customized Android system, the XOS system has changed the underlying kernel, architecture, source code, etc., but the surface interactive interface is still the XUI one.

It won’t happen that after the XOS system is upgraded, users will stop using it.

On the contrary, the familiar interaction logic remains, but it has become more powerful and easier to use.

"That's fine. Are old users forced to upgrade?"

Wang Yi thought for a while and said: "Don't force the upgrade, just push it directly and let old users choose for themselves. At the same time, announce that we will not update the Android version any more."

In this way, most people will upgrade the XOS system for a 60% performance improvement.

As for the rest of the people, seeing that the Android version is no longer updated, some will also upgrade.

Only a few die-hard Android fans and some people who are not sensitive to the system will choose not to upgrade.

It’s okay for this kind of people. After the Prism Gate broke out in June, everyone knew that Android and iOS systems had backdoors, so they had to upgrade.

It depends on whether Snowden can give it his all!

By then, Wang Yi will have a reason to launch a forced upgrade!
At this time, the phone suddenly rang.

Wang Yi answered the phone: "Zi Yan, what's wrong?"

"Chairman, please take a look at the hot searches. Tencent and NavInfo have jointly released Tencent Maps, which features precise navigation and is completely free. They are going to declare war on AutoNavi!"

"Oh, you're finally here?" Wang Yi was not surprised.

Maps are related to O2O strategic layout and payment, and BAT all want to do it.

Unfortunately, the authorization given by NavInfo to Baidu is about to expire, and Baidu Maps will soon face the problem of having no underlying data available.

By then, Baidu Maps will either be out of business or continue to steal new data from NavInfo.

But NavInfo is no pushover either. With Tencent as its major shareholder, it will certainly sue to the end.

Especially now that Tencent has also developed maps, it doesn’t want Baidu Maps to become bigger.

The two sides will inevitably engage in a patent war.

Similarly, Alibaba also wants to do navigation.

But what is even more tragic is that Alibaba not only does not have the underlying map data, it does not even have the upper-level navigation technology.

Baidu at least has top-level navigation technology and services.

In its previous life, Alibaba directly acquired AutoNavi and achieved strategic security in maps and navigation.

But this time, AutoNavi was intercepted by Wang Yi and acquired in advance, and Alibaba could only watch helplessly.

It can be said that if Baidu wants to do it and has navigation technology and services, it just needs to develop the underlying map data.

This is not easy, but if you are willing to spend money, you can still do it in three or four years.

But it’s difficult for Ali.

Without underlying data, navigation technology and services, everything has to start from scratch, which would be even more difficult.

It will be difficult to achieve success without five or six years.

More importantly, even if Alibaba starts making navigation and maps in five or six years, it will be meaningless.

Five or six years later, O2O businesses such as navigation and taxi-hailing have long been settled.

It cannot be said that it was meaningless for Alibaba to enter the market at that time, but it was really meaningless.

Just like in 2019, if Tencent tried to do food delivery again, it would be impossible!
It is precisely for this reason that Alibaba will basically give up this area completely.

As for Baidu, it will probably not give up and will continue to work on navigation.

In the past three years, they stole the underlying data and started a patent war with NavInfo.

Three years later, I started my own underlying data and returned as the king...

As for Tencent, it immediately drew its sword and declared war on AutoNavi and Xingyi Technology.

Wang Yi understood the entire situation and future development in an instant.

Ali is not something to be feared, as he will never amount to anything.

Baidu returned as the king three years later, but by then the world had probably changed.

The only one that poses a bit of a threat is Tencent Maps, which has already shown its sword!
But Wang Yi didn't care.

"Chairman, Tencent Maps is coming at us with great force and is targeting AutoNavi. Should we respond?" Jian Ziyan asked on the other end of the phone.

Wang Yi smiled faintly: "Tencent Navigation is nothing to worry about, just ignore it."

The number of users of Amap Navigation is between 300 and 400 million, while the number of users of Tencent Maps is only about 30 to 40 million, which is still the number of users inherited from its predecessor, Soso Maps.

The 10-fold size gap means that Tencent Maps is destined to find it difficult to catch up.

And this gap will only grow.

After all, in terms of resources and traffic, Xingyi Technology and Tencent are in the same echelon.

But Xingyi Technology also has Xingyi mobile phones and XOS system, all of which have built-in AutoNavi navigation, so Tencent can't do anything about it!

As for the taxi business, AutoNavi Taxi has over 100 million users and annual revenue of nearly 100 billion yuan, while Tencent's taxi business has not yet started.

Wang Yi didn't care at all.

The only worry is that Tencent will engage in a subsidy war like in the previous life.

In the past, Tencent invested in Didi Dache and Alibaba invested in Kuaidi Dache. Both sides invested huge amounts of money in a money-burning war, burning hundreds of millions of dollars and suffering losses every day. Both sides suffered heavy losses.

Eventually, both sides couldn’t stand it anymore and had to stop burning money on subsidies, shake hands and make peace, and Didi and Kuaidi merged into one…

This time, Wang Yi doesn't want to be like this.

Spending money on subsidies will only result in a lose-lose situation!
