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

Before we knew it, it was June.

The emergence of the Xuanwu battery has not diminished the doubts and slanders on international media platforms.

Furthermore, specific details have already been released.

The news that Galaxy Technology was preparing to jointly build a trillion-yuan industrial park with Tangdu City caused an even bigger uproar.

During this period, international oil prices have been declining subtly.

If the Desert King hadn't reduced oil production in time, the price might have plummeted.

Even so, it's clear to anyone with eyes to see that oil has lost its original status.

Furthermore, with the launch of Xuanwu Battery, it will completely return to the chemical industry.

Of course, gasoline-powered cars will still exist, and gas stations will still have business.

However, in the long run, this is bound to be a shrinking industry.

Even China's two major oil companies have been affected to some extent.

As for the various negative information circulating online about Xuanwu batteries potentially causing cancer, or being comparable to high explosives in the event of an explosion, etc.

It also briefly appeared on a large scale on domestic platforms.

However, the situation changed after Galaxy Technology directly collaborated with national laboratories and relevant authoritative departments to conduct live testing and popular science education.

Puncture test, high temperature test, low temperature test, impact test...

These tests were extremely intense and were even broadcast live in one continuous shot.

Sometimes, they even take into account the opinions of viewers in the live stream.

Faced with these tests, the Xuanwu battery demonstrated extremely excellent performance.

Faced with genuine evaluations and certification from authoritative departments, the online doubts were immediately silenced.

Just at this time.

A closed-door meeting was held quietly in Tangdu City.

There weren't many people attending the meeting.

Those who receive invitations are all leading domestic companies.

Ren Zhengfei of Chrysanthemum, Lei Jun of X-Mi, Shen Wei of Weiwo, Chen Yong of Oppao, and Huang Zhang of Meizu.

Besides domestic mobile phone brands, there are also many big names in the automotive industry, such as "Boatman Brother" and Li Shufu of Geely, as well as some new energy vehicle brands.

The closed-door meeting has not yet started.

Lei Jun is chatting with Ren Zhengfei, one of the leading players in the domestic smartphone industry.

By now, it's clear to anyone with eyes to see that the only major domestic mobile phone brands are Huawei, Xiaomi, and OPPO/Vivo.

Add to that an apple from the Bald Eagle Federation.

Therefore, from this perspective, Lei Jun and Ren Zhengfei are both competitors and allies in the fight against overseas brands.

"Mr. Ren, do you have any news from this closed-door meeting?"

Leibus asked in a low voice.

Ren Zhengfei glanced at Lei Jun and naturally understood that Lei Jun was trying to trick him into revealing information.

"I heard that this time it's Minister Jia from Beijing, so it's probably related to the HarmonyOS system."

"Speaking of which, CEO Lei's headquarters are in Beijing. How could he not even know this? Given X's size, that's unlikely."

Ren Zhengfei replied in a neutral tone.

"President Ren, you are a senior figure. I have always regarded you as my idol. The achievements you made in leading Chrysanthemum to create a huge market overseas are a model for us."

Ren Zhengfei has seen all sorts of storms and waves. At his age, he has been praised by countless people.

Therefore, he was not affected at all by Lei Jun's praise. Instead, he calmly said, "Mr. Lei, just say what you want to say."

"The closed-door meeting is about to begin."

Lei Jun's smile faded slightly, and his expression turned serious. He said, "Mr. Ren, to be honest, ever since the HarmonyOS system was developed, I've always been curious about what stage your company had reached in its development before selling it."

Ren Zhengfei hadn't expected this question either. His eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "Actually, I think President Lei should have the answer. As for the HarmonyOS project, everything that needed to be disclosed has been disclosed by now."

"Indeed, the HarmonyOS project was only a backup plan when Huawei was in power. Although there was some investment, it wasn't much."

"As for the HarmonyOS system before the sale, it was only a rough idea and was far from mature."

"After Galaxy Technology developed the HarmonyOS system, we also conducted comparative research and analysis internally."

"In the end, we found that the HarmonyOS system launched by Galaxy Technology was completely different from our version concept."

"If we have to point out any similarities, there are only a very, very small number of them."

"This part was also specified in the contract when Galaxy Technology acquired the project team."

"It has to be said that it is truly amazing that Galaxy Technology was able to develop the HarmonyOS system."

A hint of disappointment involuntarily flashed deep in Lei Jun's eyes.

He didn't know what he was thinking or what answer he wanted to hear.

After a moment's hesitation, Lei Jun spoke up, "President Ren, what are your thoughts on this closed-door meeting?"

"The Android user ecosystem has been built up over many years by so many developers around the world. Now that a domestic operating system has suddenly appeared, the situation is different."

Ren Zhengfei chuckled and said, "President Lei, now that things have come to this, do we really have a choice?"

"I think Mr. Lei has probably already communicated with Galaxy Technology, but hasn't received a response yet?"

"So, no matter what the conditions are later, we don't have many options."

Lei Jun also understands this principle.

The emergence of Xuanwu batteries signifies a reshuffling of the smartphone brand landscape.

If the performance difference is only one or two times, there is still room for struggle.

However, compared to lithium batteries, the performance of Xuanwu batteries is six to seven times higher.

This means that any smartphone equipped with the Xuanwu battery will have a longer battery life, resulting in a greater improvement in the user experience.

If all brands use Xuanwu batteries, but one brand doesn't, the consequences are unimaginable.

Lei Jun never considered discussing with Ren Zhengfei to reach a written agreement to jointly abandon Xuanwu Battery.

Because it's simply unrealistic; with such huge interests at stake, trust simply doesn't exist.

If Ren Zhengfei were to make this suggestion to Lei Jun, it would be difficult for Lei Jun not to be tempted and follow the market's choice.

After a moment's thought, Lei Jun decided to be frank and said, "Mr. Ren, we're all in the same industry, so let's be open about this! The HarmonyOS system should have received support from higher authorities and will be vigorously promoted domestically. As for the extent of that support, that's hard to say."

"Developing a domestically produced operating system is indeed a good thing, but for us, it may not be all good."

"We have been developing on the basis of Android for so many years, and we have finally built an application ecosystem. A lot of our profits come from this."

"If we switch to the HarmonyOS system, the loss to us will be no small amount."

"I think we need to reach a consensus on certain points. What do you think, Mr. Ren?"

Ren Zhengfei nodded silently and said, "Mr. Lei, why don't you tell me which areas you're referring to?"

"I think we can first install HarmonyOS on the overseas version. As for the domestic market, it is our base. We can discuss with the leadership to postpone the pre-installation. We can also use this time to see how the overseas market reacts to HarmonyOS and make adjustments accordingly."

"The HarmonyOS system cannot be controlled by Galaxy Technology. We had no choice before, but now we absolutely cannot allow another Google to emerge."

"Whether it's equity or board seats, I think we must have them."

"Galaxy Technology has Xuanwu batteries, HarmonyOS, and a lithography factory. Although it has not ventured into the smartphone business, if Galaxy Technology is allowed to continue to develop, it will inevitably become a near-monopolistic behemoth."

"I believe that breaking industry monopolies and promoting the healthy development of the industry is something we should do."

Ren Zhengfei narrowed his eyes slightly, understanding Lei Jun's thoughts.

He thought about it for a moment and then nodded.

Seeing Ren Zhengfei nod, Lei Jun's face also showed a smile.

He took the initiative to extend his hand and shake hands with Ren Zhengfei.

"Mr. Ren, HarmonyOS is a new opportunity for domestic mobile phones. When we conquer the international market together in the future, we should ask Mr. Yu to say less about 'loser's notes'. Lu Weibing is always arguing on Weibo, and your brand's users are cursing us as compradors."

Ren Zhengfei grinned and said, "This is simple! When we get back, I'll send an email to everyone, forbidding any further attacks on domestic competitors. If such an incident occurs, six months' worth of combat readiness allowance will be withheld..."

"However, your company's nickname 'Loser's Diary' has nothing to do with us, and that's not wrong."

"Also, Mr. Lei, take a look at this HarmonyOS engineering prototype. When playing demanding games, its temperature is 9 degrees lower than that of Snapdragon. Mr. Lei, it's time for your Qualcomm Iron Throne to move."

As Ren Zhengfei spoke, he pulled out a phone without any logo.

Lei Jun's expression turned slightly serious. He took the phone, looked at it, and then said, "Mr. Ren, when I was selling your switches on Joyo.com, I never imagined that we would one day be in the same industry. HarmonyOS has only been around for a short time, yet it has already come on so aggressively. Next, it will probably drive people crazy."

Ren Zhengfei, however, seemed to have gained fighting spirit. He raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "This is nothing. It's far from enough."

"Mr. Lei, I'm a little older than you, so let me presume to speak from my experience: what we're standing on isn't Zhongguancun, but Songgu Peak of the information age. Whoever can persevere will be the victor of this new era."

After saying this, Ren Zhengfei left.

Lei Jun looked thoughtful.

……

The conference began soon afterward, and everyone entered the venue.

To the surprise of the attendees, Wang Donglai appeared with Minister Jia and Zhao Hua.

Furthermore, Wang Donglai was positioned right in front of the two of them.

Seeing this, many people immediately began to murmur to themselves, vaguely guessing what was going on.

After everyone was seated, Minister Jia exchanged a few polite words with Zhao Hua, then coughed lightly and began to speak.

"Today is a closed-door meeting, so please don't feel awkward."

"The purpose of bringing everyone here is very simple: it's about the HarmonyOS system. Let's have Mr. Wang from Galaxy Technology speak first."

After Minister Jia finished speaking, everyone clapped and applauded in unison.

"Clap clap clap..."

After a while of applause, Wang Donglai stood up.

"Fellow colleagues and seniors,"

"I think today's meeting is of great significance because we are standing at a historical juncture that will determine the digital destiny of our country."

"The operating system, the 'root' of the information age, has been firmly controlled by the Bald Eagle Federation's iOS and Android for the past thirty years."

"They are not only technology platforms, but also channels for exporting Western values ​​and invisible shackles of data colonization!"

"And at this moment, the HarmonyOS system in our hands will be a key to unlock the invisible shackles."

"I know that everyone has spent a lot of resources and money on Android-based development over the years, which is a major sunk cost."

"Furthermore, the revenue you all earn each year based on the Android system is not a small amount."

“Abandoning Android and embracing HarmonyOS is definitely not something that can be done with just words.”

"I understand it very well, and I am very clear about the situation with the operating system."

"This is a complex issue. We need to consider national security, your business interests, and the user experience."

"Originally, my plan was to let users gradually get used to the HarmonyOS system over time and then promote it."

"But the appearance of the Xuanwu Battery caused the situation to change."

"Next, we will inevitably face industrial strangulation and sanctions from the West."

"To boast a little, I believe that Galaxy Technology will be a major target of the Bald Eagle Federation."

"So, I made a decision."

"I have decided to spin off the HarmonyOS system from Galaxy Technology Group, establish a new company, and sell 51% of its shares."

"Galaxy Technology will only retain a portion of the shares and is willing to work with domestic counterparts to develop and promote the HarmonyOS system, build a data Great Wall that belongs to our people, and protect our data information."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present immediately changed.

Some were excited, some were thrilled, and some looked thoughtful.

Everyone was somewhat prepared for this closed-door meeting.

Now, Wang Donglai has proposed to relinquish control of the HarmonyOS system and hand it over to the state.

This is the best news for them.

Operating systems, something so vital, are completely different things when they are in the hands of a single company versus a single country; they are entirely different concepts.

Now, with Wang Donglai's words, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

They would rather entrust their lifeline to higher authorities than to a single company.

Wang Donglai also noticed this scene, but he wasn't surprised.

Releasing 51% of the shares of the HarmonyOS system does not mean that Wang Donglai has completely lost control of the HarmonyOS system.

Don't forget, he also possesses the world's only true artificial intelligence, Nuwa. (End of Chapter)
