Chapter 265 Rumors of a Motorola Sales Ban
That afternoon, Transsion Holdings Limited published a lengthy article on its official website.
Public Explanation of the Technical Architecture of the Taishan System
It details the technical roadmap of the Taishan system: based on AOSP open source code, in compliance with the Apache 2.0 license, and does not contain Google proprietary applications and services.
The article also compared the differences between the Taishan system and stock Android, and currently the similarity between the two should be less than 20%.
The article concludes by emphasizing that the Taishan system is an operating system independently developed by Transsion and does not infringe on the intellectual property rights of any third party.
Google's lawsuit has no legal basis, and Transsion will actively defend its legitimate rights and interests.
At the same time, a countersuit will be filed in China to counter Google's malicious accusations.
In less than half an hour, although those big bloggers were still stubbornly insisting, the trend on the Internet had clearly changed.
"It turns out that AOSP is open source and anyone can use it; Google is just nitpicking."
"Hey upstairs, didn't some bigwig explain this when Google withdrew from the Chinese market last time? Didn't you guys see it?"
"This is not infringement, this is decoupling."
Transsion's ecosystem is getting better and better. Google is afraid that people will leave the Android ecosystem, and even more afraid of the invisible hand interfering with the overall strategy.
"Is it possible that at the Changxiang launch event, Mr. Yu and Mr. Shen officially announced that everyone is welcome to join Taishan Ecology?"
"Hey, that's actually quite possible. [Screenshot]"
The information sent by onlookers included a notice from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, stating that from 2011 to 2015, support for domestically produced apps, chips, semiconductors, and other related industries would continue to be increased.
"I support Transsion. Since Google is withdrawing, shouldn't they at least withdraw completely?"
……
But Shen Fei knew that the lawsuit wasn't the main point. Google's real objective was never the TaiShan system itself.
That evening, Huang Tianya received a message.
After reading it, his face showed genuine panic for the first time.
"Boss, we've heard from the US that they're going to sanction Huaxin Investment."
Shen Fei looked up at him. Sure enough, the familiar script was playing out again.
However, this is consistent with Obama's cautious nature, especially at the end of the economic crisis.
"What are they planning to sanction this time? There's nothing about Huaxin Investment that's worth sanctioning, is there?"
"A significant portion of the shares, worth approximately several hundred billion, remains unsold?"
Shen Fei also knew about the shares Huang Tianya mentioned; they referred to leading companies such as Apple, Qualcomm, and Intel.
Most companies are not listed and remain around 4.9, but if Obama really takes action, most of these companies will definitely suffer.
"What sanctions? But those companies we've invested in shouldn't be affected much; things haven't gotten that bad yet."
Huang Tianya nodded. If Obama dared to officially announce the freezing of Huaxin Investment's shares, then the relevant stock market could also give them a surprise... a circuit breaker!
As someone who values his reputation, Obama should be able to distinguish what is more important.
"This time it's mainly targeting Motorola."
They believe that although Motorola is an American company, it has been acquired by Transsion, and its headquarters is now just an empty shell, no longer belonging to the United States.
They are preparing to ban Motorola from being sold in the United States.
Shen Fei thought about it, and realized that this did have some impact on him.
After all, Motorola's sales in the United States have exceeded 3000 million, with a single product exceeding 3000 million, which is already Motorola's best performance for smartphones.
"Anything else?"
There may be others.
Equipment used in the manufacture of chips, screens, sensors, and other components could be included on the restricted list.
The office was quiet. Although Shen Fei had expected it, he was still a little surprised when the American hand reached out.
"Old Huang, notify the legal department and public relations department to prepare."
Huang Tianya nodded.
He knew this was preparation for American sanctions. If Motorola was banned, the American market would be gone.
This is not the most serious issue.
The most serious issue is that their poaching activities in the United States may actually have to be stopped, and there may even be a crisis in some parts of the supply chain.
However, Huang Tianyang was not particularly worried. Transsion had already launched its own security industry chain, so the impact would not be too great; at most, it would just mean losing a few markets.
"Your investment department should sell short-term investments if possible, and continue with long-term investments."
Then call Liu Fang over to me and tell her to start the domestic substitution plan as soon as possible.
…………
One message put the entire Transsion company on a high alert, and Digital Chat Station and partner media outlets also began releasing information to the public.
Digital Chat Station V: "I just received a message that Transsion has received a 'warning' that Huaxin Investment, Transsion Technology and other companies will be added to the whitelist by the United States."
Motorola will likely be banned from selling in the United States at that time.
Transsion's operations in the United States are in danger.
"Hey bro, this is the first time I've sent a message like this... that's definitely dangerous."
"Shouldn't your focus, as viewers, be that Zhan Ge personally admitted that Huaxin Investment and the industry are in cahoots?"
"Is this something new?"
Have you ever seen an investment bank that acquires 70% of a company, doesn't exert strong control, and even acts as a caretaker?
"Domestic products are really too powerful. I support Transsion to the end! Since they want to impose sanctions, then we must fight them."
"Fight until America admits defeat."
"Haha, that's hilarious. Transsion doesn't sell well in China, but it sells so much in America, purely because it's a Motorola shell. Now that it's banned, I bet it's going to go bankrupt, right?"
"Honey, do you think Americans are stupid? They recognize the Motorola brand, not Transsion."
"With the US making a move, Transsion should just wait to surrender obediently!"
"Hilarious! They even have a clone!"
However, Motorola deserved to be banned; it's an American company that was acquired by a Chinese manufacturer.
They should just go back to Africa and sell feature phones.
The water here is too deep, it's not suitable for you...
Meanwhile, in Kyoto, Leibusi finally put aside his worries.
After all, after the official announcement yesterday, Lin Bin went to his office and persuaded him for three hours, saying that entering the Indian market was fine, but there was no need to move all the factories and such there.
In particular, the attitude of Chuan Yin is still not very clear.
Although they said there was a plan and a countdown, his investigation showed that the office was really just an office, with hardly any people at all...
It might be a trap set for them.
Lei Jun panicked instantly, because it really was possible.
But now he understands that it's not that they don't want to go, it's that they really don't have the time.
The legal department is swamped with work, and other departments are also dealing with US sanctions. Where do they find the time?
So this is a good thing!
They need to speed things up; the original plan of launching simultaneously in 10 cities can now be expanded to 20 cities…
His rice business in the Indian market was a crucial turning point in his career.
