When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

The booth was completely calm at that moment.

That's how Wang Donglai launched the HarmonyOS system.

With the many smart home appliances on display in the showroom, many people have already figured it out.

For example, Lei Jun, Jack Ma, and Xu Jun.

A domestically developed operating system might face the dilemma of having no users, but Wang Donglai has managed to embed it directly into the underlying layers through white smart home appliances.

As a result, although the HarmonyOS operating system has just been launched, it already has tens of millions of home users.

If some users are developed among these home users, the HarmonyOS system will have overcome its initial difficulties.

But these are not the most important things.

Everyone is well aware of how much importance the higher authorities place on a completely independent operating system.

If the HarmonyOS system is really as Wang Donglai said.

It seems likely that the authorities will use their unseen hand to force many domestic PC manufacturers to transform and pre-install the HarmonyOS system.

Even foreign manufacturers have developed special versions for the huge domestic market.

The hardware ecosystem is being reshaped, and the software ecosystem is being restructured.

Even how to do it is something that everyone can guess after just a little thought.

Initially, mandatory training was required for civil servants to use it, even though it was extremely inconvenient in the early stages.

For ordinary consumers, this means the launch of low-priced domestic PCs to seize the market. Although manufacturers are unwilling, they have no right to refuse under mysterious forces. As for the money lost, it will be made up through tax revenue or direct financial subsidies.

Once the process is nearly complete, Android, Windows, and iOS systems will be defined as high-risk overseas systems, and the processing of confidential information will be prohibited.

Furthermore, they force domestically developed operating systems to be bundled with exported products to third-party markets in order to open up those markets.

The chain reaction triggered by the domestically developed operating system goes far beyond these.

And everyone quickly saw an opportunity in this.

How many opportunities will the reshuffling and restructuring of the software and hardware ecosystem bring?

For example, Erxiang's PC business may have a chance to catch up with the new operating system.

Every new technological trend is a grand feast.

As for who is the prey and who is the hunter, that depends on their respective skills.

After briefly explaining some aspects of the HarmonyOS system, Wang Donglai continued the previous topic, saying, "Currently, we have completed cooperation with companies such as CATL and BYD."

"AI connects everything, which is true interconnection in the real sense."

"Any product equipped with the HarmonyOS system can be interconnected."

"The future world will be an intelligent world, an era of interconnected things."

"Using technology to change lives and improve everyone's quality of life is not just empty talk. Galaxy Technology's hundreds of thousands of employees have been working hard towards this goal."

Wang Donglai did not intend to give a lengthy speech.

This was just a product showcase, not a press conference held by Galaxy Technology.

Only when people truly witness the practical application of technology will they believe in it and yearn for its arrival.

These products in the booth were the first products that Wang Donglai brought out.

As soon as Wang Donglai stepped off the stage, a large number of media reporters rushed up and surrounded him.

He shoved the microphone right in front of Wang Donglai's face; if he hadn't had some sense of reason, he probably would have shoved it into Wang Donglai's mouth.

Faced with this situation, Wang Donglai remained completely calm.

"Please calm down, everyone. I understand how you feel, but time is limited and the occasion is not right. I can only give you ten minutes, and each person can only ask one question."

"I hope everyone can cooperate well!"

After Wang Dong finished speaking, without waiting for anyone's reply, he pointed directly at a reporter directly opposite him and said, "Let the reporter from CCTV ask the first question?"

The CCTV reporter immediately demonstrated his exceptional ability by asking, "Academician Wang, the products your company is showcasing at this exhibition are based on the HarmonyOS system and feature AI-powered Internet of Things. I would like to ask, in this process, what is the performance or status of the HarmonyOS system and AI technology?"

Wang Donglai secretly praised the question. It seemed simple, but it was difficult to answer it clearly.

"HarmonyOS is the foundation. As I just mentioned, we have already released the source code of HarmonyOS on the official website of Galaxy Technology, and we welcome all free developers to distribute and modify it."

"As long as the basic kernel is the HarmonyOS system, then everyone can access this system and control these products to achieve interconnection."

"This is also to dispel the concerns of many domestic manufacturers."

"As for AI technology, we have conducted more in-depth research in this area. We can now enable AI to autonomously draw, write program code, and write articles by feeding it with big data. Its intelligence level far surpasses that of our global counterparts."

"The organic combination of these two technologies has brought more and better experiences to our users."

After speaking, Wang Donglai pointed to a reporter next to the CCTV reporter and asked a question.

"Academician Wang, you just mentioned that HarmonyOS is a completely independent product, and that the team behind it was actually purchased from Huawei. So I would like to ask, how did we achieve this breakthrough in the field of operating systems?"

Upon hearing this question, Wang Dong glanced at the reporter and said, "Indeed, not only this R&D team, but also the name of the HarmonyOS system and its initial concept were all bought from Huawei."

"Back when I was exchanging ideas with Tsinghua and Peking Universities, I met an academician and that sparked my idea to develop a domestic operating system."

"So I directly purchased the ownership of the HarmonyOS system, and then invested a lot of money to build a team with extremely strong research and development capabilities."

"On the technical level, we avoided the design concepts of Windows, iOS, and Linux, and adopted microkernel technology to re-architecture."

"..."

"I can assure you with my own hands that all the code for HarmonyOS was written by us. It is a completely domestically developed and independent operating system."

Wang Donglai spoke at a moderate pace, his expression utterly calm, showing no concern whatsoever about the negative impact of revealing that the HarmonyOS system was purchased from Huawei.

Next, one reporter after another asked questions, which Wang Dong answered.

But as the event was drawing to a close, a reporter's question caused Wang Donglai's smile to fade.

"Academician Wang, I'm curious and somewhat confused. Currently, the mainstream operating systems on PCs are Windows and iOS, while on smartphones they are Android and iOS. Android is open source for global users, and Windows serves billions of users worldwide. Why would your company spend so much money to develop an operating system?"

After listening quietly to the question, Wang Donglai's gaze fell on the label on the microphone in the reporter's hand.

"To be honest, I am very disappointed with the question you raised."

"How long has it been since the Prism scandal? What lessons have it taught us?"

"We are a great power, and we have always been. A great power must have the technology and demeanor of a great power. Therefore, there are some things that we must have."

"We don't necessarily need to use it, but we must have it."

"Just like our weapons, they have never exploded in other countries, but as long as we develop them, our safety is guaranteed."

"The same principle applies to domestically developed operating systems."

“If we don’t have it, we will be affected, both overtly and covertly, in the international arena. Only when we also have it will this situation disappear.”

"When the HarmonyOS system was successfully developed, I told the members of the R&D team that our goal was to defeat Android, surpass iOS, and be on par with Windows."

"However, this reporter doesn't seem to think we should have such technology."

By the end, Wang Donglai's expression had become extremely stern. Many of the reporters present were seasoned veterans and possessed a certain political sensitivity.

Hearing Wang Dong say this, I couldn't help but feel horrified and shocked.

I never expected Wang Donglai to say something like that.

Faced with such criticism and accusations, not to mention journalists, even ordinary officials would not dare to accept it.

Therefore, the reporter's face immediately turned pale.

They visibly panicked.

However, Wang Donglai didn't want to listen to the reporter's excuses and simply walked away.

The imposing aura emanating from Wang Donglai at that moment meant no one dared to stop him. Everyone tacitly made way for him, allowing him to leave.

After Wang Donglai left, the way everyone looked at the reporter was filled with pity and mockery.

……

soon.

The news from the booth spread quickly.

Originally, platforms like Weibo, Douyin, and Zhihu were filled with news about the four-and-a-half-day work week and working from home.

After all, such good benefits are the dream of countless working people.

High pay, low workload, and close to home.

In other words, joining Galaxy Technology fulfills this dream.

This naturally attracts a lot of envy and discussion from working people.

but.

The situation changed immediately after the news about the HarmonyOS system came out.

The messages were sent by official reporters from major news media outlets, and there were also video recordings of the interviews at the time, making them highly authentic.

Along with the announcement, a large number of videos were also released.

This also allowed more people to learn about Galaxy Technology's product information at the exhibition.

Smart home!

The Internet of Everything!

With just one program, all your appliances can become fully intelligent, allowing you to enjoy a more comfortable life.

The pursuit of a better life is deeply rooted in people's hearts and can never be erased.

Therefore, seeing such a scene, countless netizens were moved.

The key point is that these products are not from the PPT, nor are they design drawings or design concepts; they are products that Galaxy Technology has already implemented.

Many small appliances have even been working in netizens' homes for several years.

At this point, they are suddenly told that these home appliances can be upgraded and become more intelligent and convenient.

Naturally, this made many netizens excited.

As for the HarmonyOS system, these netizens put it aside.

After all, most netizens don't care what system they are using; they only care about whether it's laggy or easy to use.

If a domestically developed and independently developed operating system were to be released by another company, most netizens would probably treat it as a joke, and it would be common for them to make sarcastic remarks.

However, the situation is different when it comes to Galaxy Technology.

People have even more faith in Galaxy Technology's R&D capabilities and Wang Donglai's character.

I believed it almost as soon as I saw the news.

This is the feeling of most ordinary netizens.

To the experts, professors, and insiders, this news was nothing short of a bombshell.

HarmonyOS!

A completely domestically developed and independent operating system!

It can be applied to PCs and smartphones, and has already been used in tens of millions of machines sold by Galaxy Technology.

Create a smart home and connect everything.

Anyone with even a slight understanding of Galaxy Technology would understand at this moment.

When Galaxy Technology entered the white goods market, it probably already had this in mind.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have deliberately entered the small appliance market and even started a price war based on cost-effectiveness.

In the past two years, Galaxy Technology has not made much money in the white goods business, with extremely low profit margins.

This is completely out of step with the industry.

Generally speaking, the net profit margin for the entire industry is around 10%.

However, Wang Donglai only had three points.

Once you establish a foothold in an industry, you become a price killer in that industry.

The key point is that Galaxy Technology's products are of extremely high quality; they are not shoddy or poorly made.

Even many processes and designs have seen significant improvements across the industry precisely because of Galaxy Technology's involvement.

Just like sockets, Bull has achieved remarkable results over the years, but the socket design hasn't changed much and is still incredibly ugly.

This is both a matter of path dependence and a way to save unnecessary expenses.

However, Galaxy Technology thought differently and directly redesigned its sockets and power strips, making them aesthetically pleasing, stylish, and simple.

This is actually a way for them to steal X's thunder.

This also led to Xiaomi's white goods business not developing as well as it had in the past.

Using these methods, Galaxy Technology has dominated various home appliance sectors, amassing a large number of loyal users.

And now, the HarmonyOS system has been launched.

It's just Sima Zhao's intention, everyone knows it.

First, let users get used to and trust Galaxy Technology through these small white goods. When the time is right, launch the HarmonyOS system, and a large number of loyal users will naturally emerge.

Once it has its initial user base, HarmonyOS can be considered a true entry into the operating system market, capable of competing with Android and Windows.

This series of actions was like a hidden thread, foreshadowing events that were far in the making.

No one expected that Wang Donglai had thought of this several years ago.

Having understood these things, everyone couldn't help but feel genuine admiration for Wang Donglai, this young man in their eyes. (End of Chapter)
