Chapter 731: Domestic System Counterattack: Foreigners’ Envy
The Russian bear, armed with a terrifying cyber virus, is still wreaking havoc, and countries around the world have no way to deal with this virus.
However, in China, Hongmeng OS has taken the lead in solving this problem, and users of Hongmeng OS devices have returned to normal life.
However, various conspiracy theories soon emerged, and European and American media began to discredit the armed Russian bear as the work of Chinese hackers.
This isn't really a smear, just a guess at the truth. China naturally won't admit it. You have no evidence at all, so how can you claim the virus originated in China? It's just a verbal battle, everyone knows how.
The excitement continued, and Huawei phones were already selling like hotcakes in China. They were being snapped up like crazy, and the same was true in Europe, where the few remaining phones were snapped up by many Europeans. Huawei phones were suddenly in short supply, and this was also true for phones that didn't use Huawei's own chips.
"BYAT announced that all its models will be running Hongmeng OS 3.0..."
BYT also acted quickly, releasing the important news the next day. Previously, they used Android, but this time they directly pushed HarmonyOS. They had their own reasons for not using HarmonyOS before. Now, the Xingchen brand has made the two companies the best strategic partners. They had already planned to switch to HarmonyOS, and now they're just taking advantage of the situation.
Liu Jie is a BYD owner, and her car is a cute little Dolphin. The coronavirus pandemic has been making her very upset these days.
Although it doesn't affect driving, turning off the central large screen while driving always makes me feel uncomfortable. And the inability to turn on the navigation system makes Liu Jie, who is a bit directionally challenged, very frustrated.
At this moment, after seeing BYD's notice, Liu Jie hurried to her car, started her car and turned on the big screen.
As expected, a system update notification popped up after the screen turned on. Liu Jie clicked on "Download," and the entire system began to update and download.
Liu Jie sat in the car and waited patiently. The system update was not very fast. It took a full half an hour for the entire system to be updated.
When the big screen was restarted, the UI in front of me had changed to the HarmonyOS UI, which looked more beautiful and simpler.
After following the instructions and familiarizing herself with the operation, Liu Jie discovered that her screen had become even smoother. Although it wasn't laggy before, it didn't feel as smooth as it does now.
“Is Hongmeng so powerful?”
Looking at the iPhone in her hand, Liu Jie was very surprised. Liu Jie is an Apple fan, and all her phones, computers, tablets, and all-in-one computers at home are Apple products.
This time, the armed bear had a bad impact on her. All her devices were damaged. Her phone also crashed when she used it, and viruses kept popping up, seriously affecting its use.
However, Liu Jie felt that Apple would be able to resolve the virus quickly. In her mind, Apple was the greatest company in the world. This virus wouldn't last long for Apple.
But now, seeing the updated appearance of her Little Dolphin system, Liu Jie's faith began to waver.
After a moment of silence in the car, Liu Jie started her car and drove to the nearby Huawei store.
When Liu Jie arrived at the store, she saw that it was packed with people. It was so crowded that it looked like a big market.
Liu Jie got out of the car and entered the store. The sales staff were so busy that they didn't even have time to greet her.
“Hello, do you have P50?”
Liu Jie could only ask for help herself. Her husband used this phone, and it returned to normal after updating the system yesterday.
"Sorry ma'am, this phone is out of stock right now. It can only be pre-ordered."
The salesperson said with a smile.
“When will the ordered goods arrive?”
Liu Jie continued to ask.
"I'm not sure about that. There are too many people who have made reservations right now. If you want to make a reservation, you can pay a 100 yuan deposit. We'll let you know when it arrives. If you don't want it later, the deposit is refundable at any time."
The salesperson's words surprised Liu Jie. Oh my god, are all mobile phones this expensive these days?
"What other mobile phones do you have in stock?"
Liu Jie continued to ask.
"Sorry ma'am, all the phones are out of stock."
The salesperson's words made Liu Jie's eyes widen. After chatting for a while, Liu Jie left the store.
Drive to the next store, one, two, three...
I went to several stores in a row, and the situation was the same. Out of stock, all stores were out of stock. Pre-orders were the only option. Not only that, but the same was true on all major online platforms. All Huawei phones were sold out.
This situation caused Liu Jie's faith to collapse. She passed by several Apple stores along the way, but these stores were deserted, and some were even closed.
This situation has never happened before, but it has become a reality now. Apple is not popular, and Huawei is not selling enough.
Liu Jie had no choice but to order the phone she wanted from a store. As for when it would arrive, she could only wait for notification.
Counterattack, counterattack of domestic systems.
The armed Russian bear has given domestic systems the confidence to fight back. The use of the Hongmeng system has soared rapidly, not only on mobile phones, but also on car computers.
Following BYD's push, other domestic car brands also immediately contacted Huawei to adapt their cars to the Hongmeng system.
For cars, you can use Android or HarmonyOS.
At this point in time, using Hongmeng OS is like having an extra selling point. How could they not use it?
Look at what has become of the Tesla next door. Tesla only has a screen. But when the armed Russian bear appeared, the car turned directly into bricks.
The screen was black, and I couldn't see any information. Even basic information like the car's speed and battery level were missing. Without these things, who would dare to open the car door?
This situation has led to a massive wave of Tesla buyers returning their cars, and they're terrified. Even if the armed bear virus is solved now, who can guarantee that other viruses won't appear in the future? For example, armed rabbits or something like that?
Operating systems are extremely important in the internet age. Domestic systems were previously ineffective, and even after Hongmeng was released, the volume was relatively small.
This time, the armed Russian bear has allowed domestic systems to fight back.
There's no system available for PCs yet, but on mobile devices, Hongmeng is starting to fight back. This situation was unexpected, not even by the Americans, who had just recently taken action to deprive Huawei of its chips.
Unexpectedly, after the emergence of the armed Russian bear, they began to vigorously develop systems. Compared with chips, systems are equally important, or even more important.
Moreover, this thing is not subject to manufacturing restrictions. You can restrict other people's chip production, but can you also restrict other people's system editing? For a while, the Americans were in a mess and quickly held a meeting to discuss a solution.
