Xueba's Black Technology Simulator

Chapter 152 Apple, Microsoft, and Google Secretly Join Forces

In the study of Lu Xiao's villa, Liu Wei was discussing his views.

He also participated in the whole process and was in contact with Apple for the first time. He knew Apple's attitude and the current technical situation of Xiawei Technology.

It's just that Liu Wei's opinion is not very optimistic. He said with certainty: "Mr. Lu, this time the other party may not accept any conditions proposed by us, and it is very likely that they will boycott Assistant X in an all-round way."

Lu Xiao became interested, and said slowly: "Talk about it, how can we be sure that the other party will definitely reject us?"

Liu Wei nodded and began to express his views.

When he didn't know that the X system could launch the iOS version at the beginning, Liu Wei thought that if he wanted to log in to the iOS system, he would definitely need the support of Apple.

This is the foundation of the opponent, and the people of Apple are not fools, so they will naturally study how Xiawei Technology's X system assistant can achieve the current functions.

In the end, it will be concluded that their system is likely to have been compromised.

In this case, it is even more impossible to cooperate with Xiawei Technology and help Xiawei Technology promote its software.

It's not that foreign people can't imagine that one day, all smart devices will have X system assistants, and once they change their appearance, they will become another system, completely abandoning the original iOS underlying system.

After Liu Wei analyzed it, Lu Xiao didn't refute it, because what the other party said made a lot of sense.

Unless the foreigners give in and choose to become a vassal of Xiaguo Enterprise.

But this is a company with a market value of trillions of dollars, how can it be easily subdued, the other party may use various means to prevent Assistant X from promoting.

It will even push some bills to appear, and the use of X system assistants is a violation of the law.

As for technical means to block Assistant X, in Lu Xiao's opinion, it is almost impossible to do so.

Now it is necessary to consider how to deal with foreign forces after a real full-scale conflict.

"No matter what, we need to be prepared with both hands. It's okay to cooperate and be hostile. Anyway, our base camp is in Xiaguo, so we are not afraid of them turning the table." Lu Xiao said.

Liu Wei just looked serious, neither agreeing nor objecting.

As an entrepreneur in the technology field, Liu Wei too knows the follow-up impact of this incident.

Previously, some practices of Xiawei Technology were very outrageous. They completely bypassed the existing rules and used the Internet to build a cloud service platform and currency trading channels.

Now even the iOS system of the only pure land may fall, and the other party will be anxious.

Liu Wei didn't talk about the software, but asked: "What if the other party threatens us with other things, such as cutting off the hardware supply of countless mobile phone companies, banning the sale of some special machine tools, and banning the sale of chemical equipment."

Don't mention any space-based weapons, this is just a big killer, and many foreign forces also have big killers.

Everyone's big killer is different, but the effect is actually the same, and they can destroy human beings on a large scale.

So in many cases, we can only maintain a situation of fighting but not breaking.

Just like some time ago, Lu Xiao tossed out the Global Fire and Disaster Prevention Association, and finally absorbed countless forces, even if there were conflicting forces before, they also absorbed them.

Lu Xiao was silent for a while before saying: "If things really develop like this, then we can only use Assistant X as a bargaining chip to fight for more benefits. In the end, we still have to formulate new rules and let everyone develop together."

The so-called formulation of new rules is not about dividing the cake.

For example, Xiawei Technology's X assistant robbed the other party's market, but in the end it was necessary to choose an agent and distribute a lot of benefits, so as to achieve a balance.

If he wanted to get rid of it completely, unless Xia Guo took the lead in all walks of life, he would even have to endure labor pains.

For example, some industries have lagged behind for a while. By then, the mobile phones and computers that everyone may use may not have the same memory and CPU as foreign countries.

Lu Xiao looked at Liu Wei and said with a smile, "If you are allowed to take over the usual management and operation of Xiawei Technology, do you have the confidence to withstand the pressure?"

Liu Wei's reaction made Lu Xiao very satisfied.

He smiled freely and said, "Actually, it's nothing. The big deal is that we'll go back to what we were decades ago, but we'll definitely be much better than we were decades ago. We've accumulated a lot over the years."

Lu Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, we must have such a mentality. We are not afraid of conflicts. When the time comes, I will focus on scientific research. The normal operation and management of the company will be left to Mr. Liu." .”

This time it is regarded as an official invitation to Liu Wei to leave Mihayou and enter the headquarters of Xiawei Technology.

Afterwards, Lu Xiao and Liu Wei talked a lot about the situation of Xiawei Technology.

Only then did Liu Wei learn about the specific inside information of Xiawei Technology. It turns out that Xiawei Technology is still a leather bag company until now.

Of course, Liu Wei is still not clear about the most mysterious R&D department of Xiawei Technology. He still feels that the technology developed by Xiawei Technology should be the technology produced by Party J or some secret laboratory.

Naturally, Lu Xiao would not explain it.

It's not just Liu Wei who suspects that Assistant X is some secret laboratory or J party technology, other companies and ordinary people also think so at this time.

In fact, only a few people actually know the inside story.

While Lu Xiao, Liu Wei and others were discussing the future response, Apple's headquarters was also holding a general meeting of shareholders.

Cook is presiding over the overall situation, and the board is discussing the news that Mark brought back from the East.

Originally, the members of the board of directors thought that even if Xiawei Technology launched the iOS version of X Assistant, their cooperation would be needed. As a result, who would have thought that the other party would be able to launch X Assistant without them?
This is a very dangerous signal.

Also in the room was Apple's chief technology officer, who was in charge of briefing board members on what the situation really meant.

Numerous foreign technical masters have studied X assistants a lot during this time.

Although X Assistant has not been cracked yet, some people speculate whether the underlying system has been changed. Since the system disk can be completely hidden, at least the core code has been mastered, it is normal to guess that the system has been changed.

Louis is the technical director of Apple, and he said with a heavy face: "Gentlemen, after nearly a month of research, we have roughly inferred that the X assistant rooted in the Microsoft system and the Android system has actually mastered the core authority, and even The original system can be modified arbitrarily.”

"There is only one possible reason for such a thing to happen, that is, Xiawei Technology has cracked Microsoft's system!"

"In fact, Microsoft itself is very aware of the situation. In 2003, Microsoft tried to enter the Xiaguo market. For marketing purposes, it once released the source code of the original version of the system. Microsoft was the first to sign with Xiaguo to view the source code of the operating system. A commercial software company with a code agreement could only view the agreement at that time, and because the amount of code was too large, there were actually not many ways to copy it.”

"In the past 15 years, the win system has changed many generations, but the GSP (source code agreement) has always existed. Xiawei Technology probably spied on the core of Microsoft from this place, and finally created the X assistant."

One of the members of the board of directors was puzzled: "After seeing the source code, can it be modified so that the current Microsoft company cannot obtain permission?"

Louis shook his head and said: "Under normal circumstances, it is not possible. In fact, looking at the source code of a software does not mean that it can be modified casually. The source code is equivalent to the blueprint of the software construction method, just like the foundation we lay for building a building. , altering the foundations may cause the building to collapse."

"Now the X system assistant is perfectly integrated into the win system. It is likely that they have re-modified the entire system. The whole plan may have lasted for more than ten years!"

"The situation of the Android system is similar, because the source code is also public, so the other party can deeply customize the Android version of the X system assistant."

"But our iOS situation is actually different. At the beginning, Xia Guo also wanted to check the source code, but we didn't agree. We only agreed to store all the data on their side."

"It stands to reason that they can't view our source code, but there are exceptions, and our system also has loopholes."

"In February of this year, a lot of our source code was leaked online by GitHub."

GitHub is actually a place for programmers to store code and share code. It can be regarded as a place for global programmers to communicate.

Lewis sighed: "When GitHub leaked our code, we immediately asked the other party to block the information, but many people copied the code, which caused us a lot of trouble and made our system more likely to be jailbroken."

Countless people on the board of directors all looked serious.

The iOS system is not monolithic, they are just a lot of services, all of which rely on official servers. For hackers, they can also enter the background of the iOS system.

It's just that it's not very useful to do this, because even if you get the system permission, you can't make much modification to the system.

Again, a mature system framework is not so easy to be disrupted and rebuilt.

Being able to see the iOS system code does not mean that an X system assistant can be made.

This is miraculous in the eyes of Louis, and Xia Wei's technology is simply unscientific.

Until the emergence of cloud services, he felt that he had grasped a little bit of the essence.

Naturally, I have to express my core views this time.

"This time, since the other party has publicly mastered the X assistant of the iOS system, it means that our system has also been reconstructed. This is theoretically impossible, but now it appears, the only reason that can be explained is that the other party has used far more than Supercomputing as we imagine it."

"Even mastering weak artificial intelligence is the only way to reconstruct our system so quickly and easily. The recent cloud service technology of the other party can just explain this."

"Think about it, hundreds of millions of devices contribute computing power, this is very scary!"

Seeing that his technical director was full of admiration for Xiawei Technology's technology, Cook said displeasedly: "The point is, how should we deal with it? We can't give in. I've heard a saying in the East called "leading wolves into a house. If we agree to the other party's conditions , is to lure wolves into the house."

Before Louis came, he also thought about how to deal with it, and explained: "The only way now is to fully upgrade the new version of the system."

"Even if Assistant X is compatible with our previous version of the system, the new version of the system should not be compatible with Assistant X. My friends at Microsoft also told me that they have been working overtime every day recently."

"It is to upgrade the system, change many things, and completely make X assistant incompatible."

This is naturally verifiable. For example, after a new system is built, try to install it with the current X assistant installation package.

Although there is no way to crack the X assistant installation package, but the reverse test is still no problem.

As long as it is found that the X assistant installation package cannot take effect, the new system will be successful.

Recently, Microsoft and Google have been relatively quiet, because they are developing new versions of the system internally, and they are preparing to draw their salaries from the bottom of the pot, and completely cut off the layout of X Assistant overseas.

"However, even if the system is upgraded, the computer that has already been upgraded with X Assistant is out of control. Even if it is re-updated, the computer that has already installed X Assistant cannot be automatically updated, which means that Microsoft and Android have completely lost their previous users. "Louis reminded.

Countless Apple shareholders heard the words and already had the answer in their hearts.

They cannot cooperate with Xia Wei Technology, and even reject Xia Wei Technology's X assistant.

But the most important issue now is that the other party has cracked the iOS system. Even if they disagree, Xiawei Technology can go online quietly and let Apple users download the update by themselves.

It's just that without Apple's official support, the spread will be much slower.

Cook is a very decisive person, and his openness is not as strong as that of Jobs, but it is no problem to be conservative. In his hands, Apple's market value has doubled countless times.

In the end, he made a decision: "Mark will continue to talk to Xiawei Technology and try to delay the time. We will secretly form an offensive and defensive alliance with Google and Microsoft to deal with this crisis together. If we can't prevent the other party from secretly invading our system, then we will Start in other directions."

Louis also received the task.

Cook said to him very seriously: "I don't care how much money the R&D department spends and how many people are employed, the system must be upgraded as soon as possible! X assistants must be completely excluded!"

"Everyone, this is a battle of life and death! We must try to use any means, even if we spend all the money in the company's account, we must hold our ground!"

All the members of the board of directors are stunned. You must know that Apple's cash reserves are as high as 2800 billion US dollars.

With so much money, it should be no problem to deal with Xiawei Technology, right?
In fact, everyone has no idea.

After all, some time ago, Xia Wei's technology was too demonic, and many companies were defeated by them, and even the Federation couldn't get it right.

Cook acted resolutely, and the others were responsible for notifying Mark's headquarters of the decision, and did not tell Mark's headquarters that they did not plan to cooperate with Xiawei Technology from the beginning.

Also asked Mark to continue negotiating with Xiawei Technology.

On the other hand, Cook secretly met with the presidents of Microsoft and Google to play golf together, and must discuss how to deal with Xiawei Technology's offensive.

The combined market value of the three companies is almost $[-] trillion.

It is the most powerful software company in Eagle Country.

Their joint Xia Wei technology is very dangerous, all this, Lu Xiao does not know yet.

He left the negotiations and secret promotion of the iOS version X assistant to Liu Wei, the new CEO of Xiawei Technology.

However, he was called by the instructor to talk at home, and he had to be busy with other things.
