Chapter 449: All projects to be launched in two years?
When the Taishan system was first launched, he had thought that everyone should use it.
After binding himself with Huawei, he never had any more thoughts about it. It wasn't that he didn't need it, but others wouldn't dare or wouldn't...
After all, there is still a replacement for chips, but if Google dies in terms of operating systems, it will truly be a dead end, so these manufacturers cannot and will not use TaiShan OS.
The main reason was that Transsion was too small at the time. It was a blessing if it could support Taishan System. More importantly, these manufacturers did not have a forward-looking plan for domestic systems.
However, seeing the two people still looking around the office, Shen Fei quickly invited them to sit down, and Wang Hua also hurriedly instructed his secretary to pour them tea.
After all, whether we talk or not, or whether we reach an agreement or not, let's serve tea first!
After Wen Hua finished doing these things, he would consciously walk out.
After confirming that they had shut it down, Chen Mingyong glanced at it and then spoke up:
"Mr. Shen, there are no outsiders here, so I'll get straight to the point."
Shen Fei nodded; the answer to the question was basically confirmed.
"The purpose of Lao Shen and I here is to use TaiShan OS on the X series of Blue Factory and the R series of Green Factory."
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the meeting room fell silent. Shen Wei was at a loss for words, since the suggestion was indeed not in line with industry norms, especially the current ones!
What does it mean that you, as a brand, use systems from two different companies?
We either switch all over or we don't switch at all; serving two masters is not a good thing.
Shen Fei nodded first, which relieved Shen Wei's anxiety.
"The S series and R series are your two companies' core offline product lines, targeting the mid-to-high-end women's market."
You've always aimed for stability in this series, why the sudden change?
"Because of the full-screen design, we conducted internal user research, and female users are much more accepting of full-screen designs than male users."
After saying that, Shen Wei picked up a Transsion S5 and showed it off.
"With the same screen size, the full-screen design feels great to hold and makes selfies clearer."
To be honest, when you first launched it last year, we were also waiting for Google to adapt it, but they didn't have any plans for a long time, so we prepared...
As he said this, Chen Mingyong, who was next to him, kept rolling his eyes at him. What was Lao Shen doing? He was supposed to be saying polite things, but he started going straight to the point again.
It wasn't that Shen Wei misspoke in his haste; after all, he was well aware of the situation.
After all, they didn't participate when the Transmission Shop system was first established. Now that the system is mature, they want to take a slice of the pie, so they're bound to get a cut!
"That's right, the data doesn't lie."
Chen Mingyong rubbed his forehead, then sighed and began to speak.
"Furthermore, our team also disassembled Transsion and Huawei phones and found that TaiShan OS's adaptation to full-screen displays is not as simple as just changing the screen ratio."
Gesture controls, split-screen logic, and app drawers are all features that stock Android cannot provide.
"To be honest, Mr. Shen, your system is at least a year ahead of Google's."
Even if the two of them adopt a "we're being honest, can we use the system?" attitude...
Shen Fei gently put down his teacup, then asked a very fatal question with that smiling tiger expression.
The two exchanged a glance, then both pondered how to answer the question.
"So why don't you use all of these great systems, instead of just putting them on the X and R series?"
After hesitating for a long time, Chen Mingyong finally nodded.
"Mr. Shen, this is indeed not a good thing to do, but we also have our own difficulties. If your mobile phone business dies, you can still sell cars or other supply chains."
But if we die, then there really won't be any business left, and everyone will have to break up.
Secretary Zhang still has to clean up the mess.
So we thought...
But rest assured, our cooperation is very sincere, and we are offering our flagship products, such as the X series and R series.
Instead of using the Y series and the a series.
Then Shen Fei nodded, but he knew even better that it wasn't that he didn't want to use them all, but that there was no need to use the lower-end series.
"President Chen, President Shen, I understand your caution."
However, Transsion's TaiShan OS is not an Android skin; it is not MIUI, nor is it a customized system from either of your companies.
We now have a truly independent operating system, with the entire framework and kernel developed in-house.
If you only use it on a single line, it will split your internal customer base and also damage our reputation.
Both of them felt a jolt of fear; were they about to be rejected?
After all, the words have already been made so clear!
Just as the two of them were about to speak up in their defense, Shen Fei looked up and stopped them.
"Let me finish speaking first."
The two stopped immediately.
"They would think that Blue Factory itself doesn't trust the TaiShan system, otherwise why doesn't it use it entirely?"
The more you use them separately, the more users will feel like it's an experiment.
However, experimental products will never be trusted, and sales may have the opposite effect.
Shen Wei and Chen Mingyong exchanged a glance, understanding the problem at hand.
This is also their biggest challenge, since they have discussed it with Duan Yongping, but there seems to be no better solution to this problem.
After all, no matter what, there will always be problems, and none of them are easy to solve.
"But switching to a completely new system would be too risky."
Chen Mingyong also put down his teacup:
"Mr. Shen, to be honest, although Android is bad, it's bad to a certain extent, and using Android is actually the right thing to do."
His words were quite clear: after all, their chips and supply chain still rely on international suppliers, and their drivers are often not compatible with Transsion.
If there is a complete defection, will the Taishan system be compatible, and what will the testing period be? These are all questions.
It's not that they don't trust the Taishan system, but reality is more complicated than ideals!
"I know what you're hesitating about. After so many years, you're already deeply tied to the supply chain. A complete switch to a different developer ecosystem and user habits does indeed carry risks!"
But don't worry, we have solutions for all of them.
We also have a certain share in Brother Fa's group, so we still have some say. As long as you switch the entire system, I can guarantee that their solution will be compatible with the Taishan system.
And who knows, there might even be a pleasant surprise!
The two exchanged glances again, considering whether to take a gamble. After all, they had used telepathy so many times without ever being defeated...
That means their dominance over the supply chain has reached an astonishing level!
"Two years." Chen Mingyong made the decision for the two of them. "Within two years, both of our companies will switch to Taishan OS for all our product lines. In the second year, all other product lines will follow suit."
To show our sincerity, we can announce the corresponding upgrade plan on the official website in advance!
Once we take this step, we won't turn back.
