Chapter 221 Software Sanctions for the Penguin Group
"Our Hongmeng system will be open to all domestic mobile phone manufacturers, computers and other manufacturers, without charging any fees, and provide technical support for related aspects, a domestic operating system does not only belong to us, but also belongs to all of us in China!"
"After the end of this science and technology conference, we will officially open the registration channel, and welcome all software developers to enter our developer alliance, we will give you the best quality resources, the best platform, let us go to a win-win situation!"
After the applause fell, Yu Chengdong spoke again.
Not only was everyone in the venue sensational, but even the melon-eating crowd on the other side of the river bank was boiling.
You must know that this is the advent of a new era, and finally one day, our country will also have its own domestic operating system, and there is no need to worry about the software ecology at all, because the 10 billion fund is enough to attract many developers.
In the next hour, Yu Chengdong successively introduced some of the preliminary strategies and plans they spent for the company, as well as some introductions to the next generation of processors, the Kirin 1020.
Some people are listening, while many are thinking about something else.
Nowadays, in terms of operating system, it has relied on the Hongmeng system to break the blockade, and it will also become the strategic basis of the "Internet of Everything" strategy in the new era, I have to say that this is a very grand strategic plan.
If we talk about dialogue at a higher level, it is a milestone in the start of this technological war.
After Yu Chengdong finished speaking, Brother Xiao Ma raised his hand slightly, and soon, a staff member stepped forward and handed a microphone to Brother Xiaoma.
Ye Fan, who was sitting on the rostrum, also smiled indifferently, in this regard, the show is about to begin.
"I am very happy to be here today to participate in this conference, for the domestic operating system, as well as the plan of the ecosystem of the Hongmeng system, it is refreshing to me, we as a member of the Chinese science and technology circle, we have this responsibility to maintain it, after all, this is the first step for us to break the blockade of European and American technology, and it is also our most important step.
Only the combination of hardware and chips can make the operating system more perfect, just like Apple's IOS system, so we Penguin Group will fully support the company's ecosystem plan! ”
"I announce that the Penguin Group will dissolve the software development department of the IOS platform, and all the programmers and engineers will be invested in the development of the HarmonyOS system software, starting today, all the software under the Penguin Group, including games, will stop version updates, remove from the Apple Store, and at the same time, due to security issues, close the WeChat payment permission of the iOS platform." Brother Xiao Ma took the microphone and said calmly.
Wow!!
Everyone in the audience was in an uproar and shock again.
What is it?!
This is the rhythm of a direct declaration of war against Apple.
All the software of the Penguin Group has stopped updating, that is to say, it will continue to be updated in the future, only the Android system and the Hongmeng system, under such sanctions, less than a year, the IOS platform without version updates, will be completely abandoned by the times!
If you can't install an Apple phone with WeChat, will you buy it?
If you can't scan the code, will you continue to use it?
This represents a direct break between the two companies.
Prior to this, there was a lot of friction between Penguin Group and Apple, all of which stemmed from Apple's 30% channel margin a few years ago.
At that time, Ameijian launched a new round of scientific and technological sanctions against Huaxia, Guoxing Company did not withstand the pressure, and collapsed in the fire, and the founder flew to Ameijian overnight to talk about peace, and for a while it was like a slap in the face of the Huaxia science and technology circle.
Since then, our country has really attached importance to the chip industry, because this slap is indeed very painful.
A few months later, a new round of sanctions came again, only this time it was not Amejian, but Apple's unilateral sanctions against the entire Chinese software industry.
The sanction method is very simple, that is, Apple at that time transferred all the recharge channels to its own Apple Pay, and the recharge of any software must go through the Apple Pay channel, and other channels are illegal.
If it was for payment security, Apple's intentions might have been good, but everyone was wrong.
All recharge through Apple channels must be pumped by them 30%, whether it is to open a membership, take a taxi, or even a reward from the live broadcast platform, without exception, Apple must take 30% of all of them, otherwise the software will be removed from the Apple store.
At that time, this immediately caused a scolding of the entire software industry, you must know that this is simply a naked threat, and we have nothing to do with the other party, because other people's systems are here, if your software is not satisfied, it will be removed from the store, and soon there will be new software to grab your market.
So despite all the reluctance, some tech companies also began to bow to Apple, and it can be said that all the tech bigwigs in the venue at that time participated in that humiliating decision at that time.
Soon, under the leadership of several live broadcast platforms, a large number of technology companies succumbed, and it can be said that Penguin is the only company that stands until the end.
At that time, Apple's pumping of penguins was in WeChat%, you must know the reward of this official account, even the Penguin Group did not touch the money, and Apple opened its mouth as soon as it came up, and it directly asked for 30%.
And he didn't do anything, just forcibly required all the software to be connected to Apple Pay, and then he made money from it.
That's a 30% pump, a profit of 100 million, they want to directly take away 30%, the kind that does nothing, which is similar to Qualcomm charging a large amount of patent fees after the monopoly, but Apple's eating is too ugly.
At that time, under the decision of Brother Xiaoma, the reward of the channel, and at the same time on the board of directors, in order to decide whether to access the Apple recharge channel, there was a fierce quarrel with the senior management of the board of directors, and slamming the door became the norm.
However, the penguin did not resist the pressure and lowered its posture in the midst of an uproar.
There was no other reason, because Xiao Ma's shares were not high at that time, and he was just an executive president elected by the board of directors, that is, the chairman.
If Penguin's entire software is removed from the Apple Store because of this incident, then the next day the board of directors will be convened to kick him out, and a new chairman will be elected to sign the treaty.
So under pressure, Brother Xiao Ma could only choose to give in.
The pumping of the WeChat public platform is just the beginning, and in the future, whether it is the game recharge of the Penguin Group, or the reward of the live broadcast platform, or the book currency of the recharge, 30% of the money charged by everyone will be taken away by Apple.
It can be said that this is a pain in the hearts of everyone in the software industry.
From this time on, we began to look forward to having a operating system of our own, and the Hongmeng system of Huawei Company also began to plan and layout at this time.
