Chapter 467 The Fruit of Hesitation
Chapter 467 The Fruit of Hesitation
Everyone present nodded, and he then turned his gaze to Wang Hua:
"Wang Hua, you just said that some people are leaving over there. How many people are preparing to come here now?"
Could we get headhunters to poach more key personnel?
Wang Hua was also prepared: "It's all been taken care of. Currently, the core teams for window management, display framework, and application compatibility testing meet our needs."
After screening, a total of 26 people met our requirements. These people are all senior engineers who have participated in the iteration of all versions from 4.0 to 4.4 and have very solid technical skills.
These people will most likely be scapegoated; we've already got the headhunters in place.
"Not enough!"
Shen Fei nodded, then generously displayed his financial power:
"Take advantage of this window of opportunity and dig as much as you can."
The salary and benefits are all top-notch, but there's one condition: they all have to come to China.
In addition to Google, we'll accept all other companies from our industry that are willing to come, as long as their technology is solid.
We can afford to support this many people.
After giving the instructions, Shen Fei tapped the table again, his tone carrying a hint of sternness:
"Don't let your guard down just because Google is in a sorry state now."
Even if the enemy only has 1% health left, they can still bite you when they counterattack.
Especially since they have the United States behind them, this is a technology war, and they can't let Google fall so miserably.
Remember, being merciful to your opponent is being cruel to yourself; when the time comes to strike, there must be no room for hesitation.
Wang Hua immediately wrote it down: "Understood, President Shen. I'll send more headhunters this week and try to get the first batch of people on the job before the end of the month."
After giving the instructions, Shen Fei looked at Liu Zhihong again:
"The system needs to be iterated faster. Full-screen 2.0 and even 3.0 must be developed as soon as possible. We can postpone the update, but it must be available."
"Don't worry, boss, version 2.5 is already developed. It's smoother overall, but our competitors are too weak, so we haven't released it yet."
We will never forget the fighting methods of our ancestors.
"Li Qing, you don't need to actively piggyback on Google's popularity in your promotions, but you also don't need to hide it."
"We should release the information from both Blue and Green factories as needed. After all, they've just started their transition from Android, so we're helping them with their publicity."
"Huang Tianya, the investment department should keep moving. If you find any good projects, invest in them quickly."
"There's been no news from Meili's family for so long, I suspect they're brewing something big!"
Everyone nodded.
They all knew very well that the more urgently overseas countries banded together, the more it showed their fear, but Transsion should not be proud of it.
This also reveals that the overseas world has realized that it is no longer possible for a single country or company to sanction an industry; they must unite.
However, the telepathic message would not allow them to succeed easily. They had to be made to clearly realize that even if they united, they were nothing more than a bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

After the meeting, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation received another message from Adebayor.
Sales in the African market have increased by 130% year-on-year, with the average price of mobile phones rising from $70 to $85, and smartphone sales increasing.
The overall market share has reached 75%, with one company capturing three-quarters of the entire African market.
Meanwhile, at the fruit headquarters, due to news circulating online, Cook once again took out a Transsion S5 Pro from his drawer.
The phone being compared is the iPhone 6, which has not yet been released.
However, it doesn't seem to be comparable to the Transsion S5 Pro.
After all, the iPhone 6 still uses the traditional 16:9 screen with a wide top and bottom bezel and a round home button in the center.
Although it is a classic design that Apple has used for several generations, it instantly looks outdated and bulky compared to Transsion next to it.
After Cook turned on the screen, it looked very comfortable overall, and the phone even automatically switched to American mode based on his input method habits.
These details truly demonstrate respect.
While watching the iPhone 6, although the team has been trying to change some of the problems from the Steve Jobs era, some classic "features" [bugs] have still been retained. In short, it will not be so comfortable to use in some markets.
He once again presented the next-generation full-screen solution that Apple had been researching internally. It had no physical buttons, a narrow bezel that elongated the screen ratio, and even the curvature of the rounded corners was detailed.
The more I looked at him, the more his brows furrowed.
After all, this isn't some kind of fruit-themed full-screen concept phone; it's more like a youth version of the Transsion S5.
He repeatedly emphasized that fruit must adhere to its own originality in order to go far, but the designers simply wouldn't listen, as if their aesthetic sense had to be dictated by Transsion.
This made him a little curious.
Seeing these, he recalled some of the things Shen Fei had told him when he visited the industry before: good design is always a meeting of minds.
He was furious because the previous S2 and S3 generations were all imitations of Fruit.
Seeing these messages again now, he has a strange feeling, as if the design drafts of the fruit have been seen by others and the design has been registered by someone else.
And their designers can only modify the rumored plans?
But that's impossible.
Putting aside the fact that there are no reborn or time travelers in the world, the secrecy mechanism of the fruit company is the ceiling of the industry.
Perhaps it's just a coincidence? Or perhaps it's the inevitable direction of industry development, and Transsion is simply moving faster than everyone else.
The most likely explanation is that Transsion took advantage of the economic crisis to poach too many of their researchers, causing them to come up with a plan ahead of time.
After all, he had thought about this problem a lot, but still had no answer.
Just as he was getting stuck on his thoughts again, his secretary interrupted him.
"Mr. Cook, Ivy and Freddy have arrived!"
"Let them in."
Cook casually put the design drafts and rumors of the S5 into the drawer next to him.
Jonathan Ive and Craig Federighi, senior vice president of software engineering, also saw Cook putting down his phone when the teacher pushed the door open.
But they weren't surprised, because they had one at home too.
"You've all probably seen the news about Google splitting up Android, right?"
"I know." Federico nodded. "Sundar Pichai is truly panicked this time, willing to relinquish control just to tie the manufacturers to him!"
On the surface, it's about upgrading the ecosystem, but in reality, it's targeting our Mount Tai system.
If Android carries too much of a historical burden, and each company has its own agenda, it will be difficult to form a genuine united force in the short term.
Whether it's reasonable or not is their business.
Cook tapped the table, and that shrewd look returned to his eyes.
"What we need to be concerned about is that once the Android camp catches up, there will be a large number of models on the market."
Our iPhone 6 will enter mass production next month, but it will still have a traditional screen.
Transsion will not let us off the hook; our products will definitely appear on every PowerPoint presentation with competitor A's name attached.
