The board made a decision, but for Sundar Pichai, the matter was not over.

He has to think about Google's relationship with Microsoft next.

It's not just about Microsoft, it's about the alliance as a whole.

For example, Intel, Qualcomm and other companies.

The operating system is the most basic software, which is at the top of the entire ecosystem.

Although Microsoft often upsets these companies, and everyone covets each other's huge intellectual property pools to bring benefits, no one wants a Chinese company to break into it.

Different languages, different cultural backgrounds, and different interest orientations will inevitably make the relationship between each other more difficult.

The decision to join the Xin Alliance is for Google's immediate interests, and of course it is also for Google's interests to continue to maintain the relationship with Microsoft, and even pull Microsoft at a critical moment.

That's why today's conversation with fellow countryman Satya Nadella is particularly important.

Microsoft's top management has to accept this result calmly and still support Google at a critical time.

After thinking for a few minutes, Sundar picked up the phone, and soon his enthusiastic voice began to echo in the office: "Satya, my friend, this is a heart-wrenching night, and the board's resolution is very regrettable......"

......

Naturally, no one in China knows what Google's board of directors is discussing.

Of course, a world-class company also has the face of a world-class company.

It is impossible to say that the board of directors will inform Wang Yufei as soon as it reaches a resolution.

Not to mention that the other party still uses Weibo to shout this kind of sassy operation.

This decision will probably not take effect until Ge Lingyue officially visits Google.

After all, Google is not going to help enjoy technology to promote it on the Internet, and then offend Microsoft to death.

In fact, in order to appease its allies and long-term interests, Google has done a lot of work, such as sharing so many years of experience in operating system development with Microsoft, not only Android, but also Google's own cross-platform operating system, Fuchsia OS.

Of course, for Wang Yufei, whether he can get a reply is also a dispensable thing.

And he just put forward a concept, really to establish the so-called Xin Alliance, there are still a bunch of specific things to do. For example, the rules of the alliance, the qualification review of joining the alliance, how to manage the members of the alliance, the distribution of interests within the alliance, how to deal with entanglements, and so on.

Fortunately, these messy things don't need Wang Yufei to think about, Ge Lingyue has a lot of experience in this area. After all, Apple has added a lot of groups before. After Wang Yufei controlled the general direction, he focused his energy on the research and development of quantum computers.

As long as he is fast enough to study technology, the company will never be able to catch up with him.

......

Wang Yufei's life began to calm down, and he began to live a four-point and one-line life again, even deliberately ignoring the undercurrent of the entire world's scientific and technological community.

The good news is still coming one after another.

Ge Lingyue stayed in Samsung Korea for three days, and then the media spread the good news that Samsung Electronics had joined the Xin Alliance, becoming the first batch of foreign manufacturers to join the Xin Alliance.

At the same time, the software friends who were previously announced by Microsoft had a tacit understanding to reduce the selling price of their products in China almost at the same time. For existing users, a special offer has also been launched as compensation.

Although it was not announced with much fanfare, it was quickly discovered by consumers.

The most ruthless price drop is still MATLAB2020, for example, the student version used to cost $59, plus the usual bags and various discounts for about $100 products, now it has dropped to $29.

The teacher's version used to be about $1,500, but it has dropped to $300.

For the academic authorization of universities and scientific research institutions, including all the toolkits, it is about 70,000 US dollars per year, and it has been directly reduced to 20,000 US dollars.

The previous strongly worded statement has also been changed from not allowing virtual machines to not recommending them.

In addition, photoshop, 3Dmax, AutoCAD, ADAMS, AMEsim, CANoe, etc. have also been reduced in price to varying degrees, at least by one-third, and the trial period has been extended accordingly.

For example, Photoshop, which is the most widely used, has dropped the price of genuine copies from about $1,000 to $599.

Of course, it has no impact on people who don't rely on these software to eat, but it is really beneficial for universities, scientific research institutions, advertising design practitioners and other related industries.

There is no way, individual users can still use pirated copies, but once they are used in production and business activities, most of them still have to use genuine copies.

In this way, Microsoft's threat thundered greatly, but it barely rained.

Aside from an additional warning clause in these software descriptions, there has been little substantive action.

Even a week later, many Chinese users found that there was no need to toss back and forth at all, and there was no need to change back to win10, and these software could be used normally as well as installing the Xin system with a virtual machine, and they did not receive any trouble from Microsoft and these software companies, and everyone was more at ease.

Sure enough, as soon as these companies found out that Huaxia had alternative products, they immediately kept to themselves.

This scene is indeed very similar to the scene of the joint venture car industry after the development of the domestic automobile industry.

More than 20 years ago, when there were only joint venture car brands on the market, for ordinary people who wanted to buy a car, it was not only expensive but also the original price was basically impossible, and they had to add some money.

However, since the development of domestically produced private label cars, the pricing of almost all joint venture cars has dropped significantly. Except for a few models, almost no one dares to increase the price, and even the joint venture brands that reduce the price when they are launched are not a few.

There is no way, even if domestic cars may have all kinds of small problems, but domestic manufacturers dare to achieve the ultimate cost performance.

The configuration is about the same, the joint venture car is 200,000, and the domestic car dares to sell only 100,000, who is the reason for this?

The software industry seems to be caught in the same circle, the only difference is that these software vendors didn't get much benefit in the Chinese market two decades ago. After all, at that time, many very few Chinese people had a genuine consciousness, and everyone used piracy, and finally these years of genuine consciousness finally became popular in China, and everyone's performance began to flourish, and the clouds were coming......

It doesn't make sense!

After leaving Handao, Ge Lingyue went directly to Europe.

With the blessing of Weihua, Rice, and Samsung, Ge Lingyue's trip to Europe was obviously very smooth, and it probably became a group trip.

For example, in the first week of Europe, there was news that Changxiang Technology is expected to join the European Telecommunications Standards Association, followed by the European Computer Manufacturers Association, according to media reports, macro language is expected to be added to the official recommended language after the introduction of language specifications, and it is rumored that Changxiang Technology has also successfully registered the Xin system in Europe.

There are also the Anti-Computer Virus Association, the Association for the Promotion of Relations with China, and the 5G Technology Promotion Organization......

Almost every few days, the news of enjoying the technology and adding groups came back to Huaxia from various media, which also made countless people stunned.

Of course, there are also technology companies in Huaxia that go overseas to join the group, but the news has never been so dense, even for China.

This also directly led to the continuous extension of Ge Lingyue's itinerary in Europe, which was originally expected to be extended to nearly ten days. This is probably also due to the fact that Microsoft's reputation in Europe is not very good.

Whether it is Ge Lingyue, he has brought back a lot of good news in Europe.

There is also good news for domestic Changxiang technology.

For example, five banks have approved a total of 80 billion yuan in loans.

Of these, $30 billion is interest-free loans, and the other $50 billion is low-interest loans.

This is not collateral with the patent of the brain-computer chip, but with the ownership of the company's software products.

That's right, it's a series of industrial software products and minimalist programming and entertainment translation machines, and obviously banks are also optimistic about the future market prospects of these software.

80 billion yuan, of which 30 billion interest-free loan Changxiang Technology can be used for free for three years, and the interest for these three years is subsidized by the state, the specific method is that Changxiang Technology first gives interest to the bank, and then returns the money to the company from the tax.

If you want to renew your loan after three years, switch to a normal low-interest loan.

The other 50 billion yuan of loans are low-interest loans with a ten-year term, of which 10 billion yuan are special loans for high-tech and cutting-edge technology, and the loan interest rate is as low as 3.9 percent, and the remaining 40 billion yuan is about 20 percent lower than the loan interest rate stipulated by the central bank.

This also made Wang Yufei find that suddenly, the company was not short of money.

The 80 billion loan, together with the company's working capital, is enough to support the company's data center construction within three years. When the data center is completed, the company will not only have brain-computer chip licensing revenue, but also internal income from Xin system, macro language income, and cloud computing revenue......

According to financial calculations, according to the company's future financial situation, the data center will be fully repaid in full three years after the full completion of the data center.

Obviously, this amount and the interest rate price also made Ge Lingyue, who was far away in Europe, very happy.

Never talking about attracting investment anymore made this woman much more unrestrained in negotiations.

If you have money, you can do things better.

Several construction teams have been settled in the headquarters of Changxiang Technology at the same time, and the ground floor of the headquarters building has begun to be renovated according to Wang Yufei's design plan.

Mr. Wu is really an expert in this regard, and he can always find a cheap and professional construction team.

Most of the construction team is led by masters who have taken over the national quantum engineering experimental center.

The quality of all aspects can be assured.

Although Yu Xingwei is running data centers all over the country, he is obviously a good hand in the business, and the equipment on Wang Yufei's previous list has also been arranged, and a few brands that cannot be bought for the time being, the two also chose alternative products after discussion.

By the end of May, the underground reinforcement and pipeline renovation had been successfully completed.

Before leaving Europe, Ge Lingyue also reported a good news when she reported her itinerary to Wang Yufei. During her visit to Europe, Ge Lingyue was not only busy joining the group, but also met with two Chinese who were developing in Europe by the way, and found two more generals to enjoy science and technology.

Ge Lingyue then left Europe and visited the United States according to the itinerary.

The first stop is Silicon Valley, which Ge Lingyue is most familiar with.

When he was at Apple, Ge Lingyue went back to Apple headquarters to report on his work.

This time, Ge Lingyue also chose her old club for the first stop of her visit to the United States, and the familiar place is more at ease.

Of course, there is good news this time, after a week of arduous negotiations, the two sides jointly issued a statement in Silicon Valley that Apple will join the Xin Alliance, becoming the sixth member of the Xin System Alliance.

At the same time, the announcement also announced that Changxiang Technology joined the FIDO Alliance under the recommendation of Apple.

The next day, the statement was reflected in the stock market, with Apple's stock price opening up 3 points and Microsoft's stock price plummeting 6 points in one day.

Neither side commented on this, and the second stop, Ge Lingyue began to visit Google.

Ge Lingyue stayed at Google for a long time, a full ten days, and then Changxiang Technology joined the Google Advertising Alliance, as well as the AI alliance formed by Google, Facebook, Amazon, IBM, Microsoft and Apple.

At the same time, Google announced in a low-key manner that it would join the Xin System Alliance, and said that Google would integrate its framework into the Xin System in the future.

The fact that Changxiang Technology has joined the Google Advertising Alliance also means that in the future, the Xin system will be listed outside of China, and the company will be able to enjoy the treatment within the alliance, and the fees in the system will be able to directly use Google's charging system.

Next, Ge Lingyue almost went around Silicon Valley, Facebook, Oracle, Amazon, Intel, IBM, 、......

Except for Microsoft's lack of invitation, Ge Lingyue spent ten days visiting the entire Silicon Valley.

This visit seems to have made the relationship between Changxiang Technology and major companies in Silicon Valley enter a honeymoon period.

The open-source Xin system has become a stepping stone, although whether it makes money or not is another matter for the time being, but its influence has expanded a lot.

After all, adding so many groups means that Changxiang Technology has voting rights on some key technical standards.

But then again, in the area of brain-computer interface and software intelligence, Changxiang Technology has mastered the standards and can indeed have the right to speak.

Ge Lingyue's visit went very smoothly and she hardly encountered too many twists and turns.

Wang Yufei was not idle in China, and spent most of the whole June in the quantum laboratory, digesting the data researched by the three major institutes for many years.

By the way, he also told Cao Luping that after the construction of the laboratory in the headquarters building was completed, he asked this senior brother to serve as the director of the laboratory, and by the way, let Senior Brother Cao directly dig some reliable assistant researchers in the institute......

Of course, this matter was not hidden from Gao Deyuan.

Regarding this kind of behavior of digging corners, Gao Deyuan adheres to the attitude of pretending not to know.

One is an honest and honest student who has followed him for six years, and the other is a closed disciple who has only known him for more than a year, but his laboratory can already purchase the most advanced equipment and continue research without relying on funding.

Even if you do something excessive, you have to endure it.

So everything went well.

After all, the treatment given by Changxiang Technology is very generous, with a high salary, and it is much more convenient to attract talents.

Similarly, the various projects of the brain-computer club are also progressing smoothly.

There are money, people, equipment, and Xiaopang and Lu Yuxin help coordinate the school's laboratory, and there is good news every day in addition to Changxiang Technology, and for the members of the project team, the influence on the Internet has gradually faded......
