Chapter 447 Android solves full-screen problem in 3 months
Before the representatives could react, three keywords had already appeared on the PPT.
The representatives from Google and Qualcomm instantly stopped laughing, because they glanced at the three words and realized they were both directly involved in the company's business.
Qualcomm chips, full-screen display, Google Android!
Thompson also observed the reactions of the two companies, and sure enough, the moment the PPT appeared, both of them frowned slightly.
"The difference in full-screen displays now is no longer simply about hardware technology, but about the underlying software ecosystem."
Transsion has the Taishan system, which can be independently adapted and optimized, allowing it to exclusively take advantage of the full-screen benefits.
Currently, all Android manufacturers are locked into Google's underlying framework.
"As long as Google can complete the native Android full-screen adaptation, full-screen will go from being Transsion's exclusive advantage to becoming a universal standard across the industry."
At that point, their biggest differentiating advantage will vanish instantly.
The Google representative couldn't even manage a smile as Thompson presented Google.
On the contrary, the Qualcomm representative kept glancing at him with an expression that seemed to say: Good luck, buddy!
At this point, Wilson also looked at the Google representative: "Mr. Tom, this is really not me putting pressure on you."
We've received pressure from rice suppliers, and you're probably facing pressure from other manufacturers as well.
Tom nodded, his eyes darting unconsciously over the report. He picked up the lighter beside him and lit a cigarette with a slight frown.
"I know all this. Besides the rice, we've also received urging from Sansang and HTC."
After he finished speaking, he exhaled another puff of smoke, the smell of burning cigarettes filling the entire conference room, but this only made him more worried!
After all, these manufacturers have joined forces to help them complete the development of full-screen displays within three months and support compatibility with all models by the end of the year!
But how is it possible to complete all this work in a year?
So he frowned, still offering no guarantee, because he really couldn't give one!
"Mr. Thompson, we can develop it as soon as possible, but as you know, Android involves a lot of things at the bottom layer, and we need to consider it from the perspective of system stability!"
We must safeguard the overall situation.
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head.
But in that instant, he saw a strange emotion in Thompson's eyes.
But before he could speak again, Qualcomm delivered the final blow!
"The big picture?"
Mr. Tom, if you continue to cling to your grand vision, I believe that before long, Android may become obsolete, and the once world's number one operating system may be relegated to the back of Apple's rankings!
Symbian might be your future!
"Mr. Jack, you should pay more attention to your chips instead of worrying about our system."
"I heard your Fire Dragon 810 is still running very hot, there's been no improvement at all, how dare you criticize us?"
Thompson and Wilson were immediately alarmed. How could their alliance, which hadn't been agreed upon, have started to fall into internal strife?
Thompson just had his own little schemes.
He just wants to force Google to comply; whether Google will cooperate willingly or not is irrelevant.
Even if the adaptation is riddled with loopholes and bugs, it will still be beneficial to them.
After all, although it is an Android issue, it also proves from another perspective that the path of full-screen displays is not viable. This is a fatal flaw, and its reputation will naturally suffer in the end!
But the script seems to have gone a bit wrong, and the people on their own side started fighting each other first!
The atmosphere in the conference room was a bit awkward, and the Microsoft representative played the peacemaker!
"Tom, we're both in the software industry. Let's put aside our past disagreements and fully cooperate with me to get Microsoft to send you a group of people."
But they weren't happy at all. After all, they wouldn't dare use someone from Microsoft, in case the other party dumped some junk into the Google system!
Even though it was originally a garbage dump, he wasn't at ease with the way the other party was doing it!
The Microsoft representative glanced at Tom, smiled slightly, and didn't expose his ulterior motives.
"Don't worry, we have a common enemy now. Even if Google falls, we won't get much market share, so you can rest assured!"
After saying that, he laughed to himself, which made Tom a little worried!
"Okay, I'll trust you this once!"
Thompson finally reverted to his usual self and applauded for everyone.
After the meeting, he angrily slammed his fist on the table. These companies had asked him to unite against Transsion, but they almost ended up fighting amongst themselves!
What's the point of playing if we do this?
However, reaching a cooperation agreement is already the best possible outcome...
Meanwhile, at Google headquarters.
Android Vice President Dave Burke looked at the joint email in his hand, and he was quite angry.
After all, one of these claims comes from Samsung, and the wording is quite condescending. Simply put, Samsung has lost its position in the high-end market due to Google's actions and must develop a full-screen ratio as soon as possible.
Then there was another report from Silver Lake.
But what truly alarmed him wasn't these things, but rather that Blue Factory and Green Factory had already sent people to Chuanyin to begin negotiating the use of the Taishan system.
The real fear is that once they actually use it, its internal structure will begin to crumble.
However, he felt that the timeframes given by all parties were a bit absurd, after all, three months was enough to solve all the problems of adapting the underlying system of a full-screen display.
The more he looked, the angrier he became. He got up and strode into Sundar Pichai's office.
He knocked briefly a few times as a formality before pushing open the CEO's office door.
Sundar Pichai had clearly just received a call from Tom, and his expression was naturally not happy. But then another call came in, and he could only wave his hand slightly, gesturing for the caller to sit down.
"Okay, I understand."
"I know this is a big issue, and we will do our best, but you also need to understand that software compatibility is a major problem, and we must ensure the overall integrity of the system!"
About 10 minutes later, the call was finally disconnected.
But Dave Burke remained motionless at the door... his face still sullen, after all, he had just heard about three months again, but how could that amount of time be enough?
"Dave, calm down!"
"I can't calm down!"
Dave Burke went completely berserk in front of the president, but before he did, he observed Sundar Pichai for a moment.
"I can't calm down. Our team has been involved in versions 1.0 to 4.4. The current Android has 300 million lines of underlying code. I am very familiar with every single line of code, but you have no idea about it at all."
You only understand the exchange of benefits; you don't understand the sheer scale of this project!
