Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 498 The virus cost a lot of money? More money is needed.

After communication, the call was quickly connected:

At first, Pichai pretended to be serious and said, "Mr. Shen Fei?"

I was surprised to learn that you would call me personally. May I ask what brings you here?

Could they just be here to mock us?

"Mr. Pichai, we're all old foxes, there's no need for us to put on a show here."

"You should be aware of the cyberattacks targeting the Taishan system, right?"

Sundar Pichai was also flustered, after all, only he and a few directors had discussed this matter, and Huaxin Investment had long been kicked out.

So this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Google, and even if it did, they couldn't admit it.

"Mr. Shen Fei, I don't understand what you're talking about?" Sundar Pichai quickly tried to distance himself from the situation.

"I didn't say you did it, Mr. Pichai, why are you so nervous?"

Shen Fei suddenly smiled!

"We all work on systems, and I'm just worried. After all, these hackers haven't been caught yet. What if they target Google..."

"My time as CEO isn't over yet!"

After saying that, Sundar Pichai gave himself a thumbs up for his wit.

His anxiety hadn't subsided; after all, this guy was proving to be a thankless task...

I'm not going to fool him with this phone call today.

Sure enough, just as he was about to change the subject by talking about the blue and green factories, Shen Fei suddenly said:

"Whether you did it or not is not important."

The important thing is that Google is a member of Silver Lake Capital. More importantly, after the attack, Taishan's reputation was damaged, and Android's market share rebounded. You are the biggest beneficiaries.

Sundar Pichai gripped his phone tightly. Wasn't this a case of guilt by association?

He did indeed do it, but... it didn't succeed, did it?

"Mr. Shen, you must be joking."

We still get fruit, so why only say that Google benefits?

TaiShan OS also evolved from open-source Android. If your reputation has been damaged, so have ours.

"President Shen..."

"stop!"

Just as Sundar Pichai was about to defend himself again, President Shen spoke up: "Mr. Pichai, there's no need to explain so much."

I now have a complete chain of evidence that proves the attack traffic was transmitted via Google Cloud nodes.

"If I were to release this evidence to the public, and also expose the partnership between Google, Silver Lake, and the Hawkeye alliance, what would users around the world think of Google?"

Will antitrust authorities in China and some African markets issue Google several more fines in the tens of billions of dollars?

Pichai once again felt how terrifying Shen Fei was; he had initially thought this kid was just here to cause trouble...

I never expected they came here to get ripped off!

But trying to win him over with just a few words is no easy feat.

"That was an attack by the attackers maliciously using Google Cloud services; it has nothing to do with us. We are also victims."

Whether it's legally irrelevant or not is unimportant.

Shen Fei's words were very domineering, but in Sundar Pichai's eyes, he was like a thug.

Users and the market will feel that Google has resorted to underhanded tactics to suppress its competitors.

At that time, we will make both Google and OPPO accelerate their adaptation to the TaiShan system. We will also directly break ties between the two companies, check each other's code, and handle everything strictly by official procedures...

How much do you think Google will lose then?

Given the sheer size of both Sapphire and Oppo, and their reliance on the offline market, their annual shipments exceed 5000 million units...

The two companies combined amount to 100 million!

Once they truly decouple from the Android ecosystem, Google's GG app store revenue will be cut by a significant amount.

"Mr. Shen Fei, you are an excellent negotiation expert. Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

"It's very simple!"

On the other end of the phone, Shen Fei took out a document he had prepared beforehand and easily signed it.

"I have a document prepared here. Google is transferring 5% of its shares to Transcend."

Since we're already partners, strengthening our cooperation seems like a great idea.

"impossible!"

Sundar Pichai was instantly on the defensive. He knew his opponent had a big appetite, but he hadn't expected it to be this big.

That's 5% of the shares, which is worth tens of billions even though Google's stock price has been falling.

They claimed there was simply a problem with some equipment, yet they're demanding billions in compensation...

Google may have considered suppressing it, but it would never pay such a price.

But Shen Fei wasn't going to give up easily; he had to come up with a solution.

"5% of the shares? Absolutely not! The board of directors would never agree to that!"

Whether the board agrees or not is your business.

Shen Fei persisted, after all, compared to the consequences of this matter being exposed, this was already a very reasonable price.

"You can choose, I'll only give you half an hour."

"Either give me 50% of the shares, and I'll pretend this has nothing to do with Google. I'll suppress the evidence, and I guarantee there won't be any administrative measures from China."

"Either we fight to the death."

I will release all the evidence and file a global lawsuit against Google for unfair competition.

We've sent dedicated teams to help both Google and OPPO with the adaptation.

"Don't say that Qualcomm and MediaTek chips aren't included; we're their shareholders, I can forcefully intervene!"

"If we really do that, which side do you think will suffer greater losses?"

A very blunt threat was made, followed by a long silence on the other end of the phone.

Sundar Pichai quickly analyzed the pros and cons, and even summoned his secretariat to communicate with the various shareholders.

"Mr. Pichai, we absolutely cannot agree to this. They have been making constant underhanded moves these past few days, and now they have 12% of the shares, which is extremely dangerous."

"How about we follow England's example and offer cash compensation?"

"It could also get Mr. Obama to spend some money and shift the problem there."

"I think this method is feasible, since giving away shares would mean a loss for the shareholders."

Representatives of some shareholders were talking all at once in the office.

However, Sundar Pichai was unaware of Shen Fei's intentions, so he could only let everyone guess first.

"Mr. Chen, 5% of the shares is a bit too much. We need to discuss it carefully, but rest assured, I will push the board of directors to approve it."

But you must guarantee that if you actually sign, all evidence must be destroyed, and you cannot use this to blackmail Google.

At the same time, your mysterious virus must be completely contained and cannot be used to attack us again.

On the other end of the phone, Shen Fei laughed.

What does Sundar Pichai take him for?

Shen Fei has always relied on benevolence and righteousness to get by in this world!

How could someone repeatedly threaten someone about the same thing? That's something only a scoundrel would do. Shen Fei is a moral person.

However, sealing off the virus... after all, this virus was the key to their success in solving this problem, so this is not an easy task.
