The m government’s investigation into umbrella companies soon became the focus of attention around the world.

Especially in country m, the people of country m who were still immersed in illusions suddenly came to their senses.

For a time, various news programs and Internet platforms were discussing this matter.

"...A few days ago, the FBI conducted a raid on the Umbrella Company headquarters, but no relevant information has been disclosed so far. Nord, Kevin, do you think the accusations against Umbrella Company are true?"

"Well~ I think there should be some basis. As we all know, Henry, the president of Umbrella Company, did not start his career in country m but in the East. This is very suspicious. I have reason to suspect that Henry is a spy sent by a country in the East..."

"I think so too. You must know that the semiconductor technology of a certain Eastern country has made rapid progress in the past two years. This is completely unreasonable. And Xiaoji Technology, a subsidiary of the umbrella company, has its headquarters not in country m at all. This is very abnormal..."

……

After watching this obviously biased news program, ordinary people can't help but start to become suspicious.

"Farke! Henry Fury is nothing. It's a shame that I trusted him so much before."

"By the way, it's been a long time since I saw a mobile phone from China brand. There are brands from the East everywhere."

"Everyone should buy M country brands from now on, we can't give up the market..."

However, this questioning and appeal was quickly refuted.

"Don't mention these domestic mobile phone brands, they are too bad."

"Although I think the operating system of the AP mobile phone I bought is pretty good, it is too closed. Many apps are not compatible at all and are very inconvenient to use."

"The Motorola I bought is the same, and the operating system is like a piece of shit. It is incomparable with Xiaoji Tops phones."

"If anyone spends money to buy a mobile phone brand from country M, there must be something wrong with their brains. It is expensive and difficult to use."

"By the way, if Eastern technology is really plagiarized from ours, then why are our mobile phones so difficult to use using the same technology?"

……

While the media and the Internet were arguing endlessly, the stock market in country m finally reacted to the matter.

The stock price of Xiaojie Technology has been falling all the way, and short sellers from all walks of life have rushed in, planning to take this opportunity to short Xiaojie Technology and make a lot of money.

Major m-country consortiums that had previously invested in shares have also reduced their holdings and joined the ranks of short sellers.

But the umbrella company didn't care and repurchased these shares one after another. Anyway, there is no shortage of money now.

Correspondingly, the stock prices of companies in related industries of country M, which were originally somewhat weak, began to rise sharply.

Especially for AP Company, everyone believes that with the investigation of the umbrella company, Xiaojie Technology is bound to fall from the altar, and AP Company's smartphones will become the new generation's overlord.

On the other side, Michael and Peter were a little panicked when they saw this situation, and they didn't know whether they should continue.

The three people who were undecided immediately called "Henry" to ask, and the other party's answer was: "You just go short, I will take care of the umbrella company."

After hearing this, the three people could only follow the instructions and continue to conduct short selling operations according to the companies on the list.

Looking at the soaring stock prices of these target companies, they know how miserable these companies will be when the financial crisis hits.

The only thing that makes them uncertain now is whether the umbrella company can survive in the end?

The technology giants in country m don’t know what will happen in the next two years. They are busy working together to save themselves.

Although the surge in stock prices has temporarily alleviated the crisis for the major technology giants in country m, it does not mean that the crisis has been truly solved. If the products cannot be sold, everything is empty talk.

After experiencing the experience of being beaten to the ground by Eastern mobile phone brands this year, the major giants in country M also had to learn their lessons and choose to cooperate.

After all, the conflicts between them are only internal conflicts. If the current situation cannot be reversed, their entire industry will be destroyed.

Therefore, after some reconciliation of interests, these technology giants in country m finally came up with a feasible plan.

First of all, major companies should stop building their own closed ecosystems and use a unified operating system to build a software and hardware ecosystem that can compete with Xiaojie Technology.

The mobile phone operating system chosen by all parties is naturally AP company's ios.

After all, ap company was the first among them to start developing smartphones, and the maturity of the ios operating system cannot be compared to that of other companies that are just scrambling.

Of course, the price paid by the AP company is the open source of the iOS system, and it can no longer close itself off and form a small circle.

However, the iOS system alone is not enough. You must know that Xiaojie Technology’s mobile phone system and computer system are interconnected, which is why the other party’s ecosystem can be improved in just over a year.

In order to reverse the situation, the iOS system and the Plague to Death system must also complete this connection.

This scared the programmers of the two companies so much that they lost their hair, and they all said that this was an almost impossible task.

Either they are all ios, or they are all plagued to death, or even rewriting an operating system has a higher chance of success.

However, this plan was originally the final compromise between AP Company and Plague to Death Company. How could it be changed?

In fact, who among the AP Company and the Plague to Death Company would not want to unify the two major systems of mobile phones and computers?

But the current situation is that although the company lags behind in the field of smartphones, it has a huge user base and computer ecology. Although the ap company has better technology, it is at a disadvantage in terms of user base and ecology.

Both sides have leverage, and neither side is willing to give up their existing interests. In the end, they can only come up with such a compromise plan that makes programmers' scalps tremble.

As for rewriting an operating system that is common to mobile phones and computers, not to mention time does not allow, just the question of who will take the lead can make the major technology giants quarrel.

Therefore, if the interest pattern cannot be changed, the only option is to "sacrifice" programmers.

With the release of this news, the market has become more optimistic about the technology giants of country m, and some people have even given them a very domineering nickname - Science Fiction Alliance.

"Haha, the greatest technology companies on earth have joined forces, and no one can stop us!"

"With this lineup, those no-name companies in the East are just waiting to be crushed!"

"When will the product be released? I can't wait to experience it..."

……

Amid waves of praise and carnival, the stock prices of major technology companies in country M hit new highs.

In this era, no one doubts country m’s technological advantages in science and technology, especially in the semiconductor and electronic consumer industries.

Everyone believes that country m's previous backwardness was just because it did not exert its strength. Once it exerts its strength, no one will be their opponent, and there is a ready-made example.

In the small days of the 1980s, the semiconductor and electronic consumer industries once overtook Country M, but in the end it fell.

Now there is only one umbrella company leading a group of Eastern motley crew, how can it be the opponent of the technology giants of country M!

So, just when the Umbrella Company was caught in the "Spygate" and it seemed that he had no time to spare, while the M-country technology company was trying to make a comeback, the time soon came to January 2007.
Chapter completed!
