Chapter 1250: Chapter 493 Economic Blow_2 Chapter 1250: Chapter 493 Economic Blow_2 Enhancing his own strength naturally took top priority for Yan Fei, but it was a long-term process, and he could not rush it. However, he also needed to continually weaken the comprehensive national power of The United States of Arica, causing it to steadily decline. To achieve this ultimate strategy, Yan Fei began to play the trump cards he held.
Yan Fei’s first card was to remove The United States of Arica from the Directory of Friendly and Cooperative Countries of Dream Island, and the Dream Island Hospital for Incurable Diseases announced it would no longer accept Arican patients for treatnt. This decision greatly dissatisfied the Arican wealthy, as without the treatnts from the Terminal Illness Hospital, their average lifespan would be reduced by over ten years. These Arican tycoons, looking out for their own interests, started to incite the general Arican public to protest in the streets, rallying The United States of Arica to unite and boycott Dream Island products. However, their goal in boycotting Dream Island products was to continue receiving services from Dream Island, which was a rather confusing scenario…
The first card Yan Fei played plunged the Arican higher-ups into chaos. Then, he played his second card, which was to upgrade the “Dream Assistant,” then only installed on smartphones, to the “Dream Operating System.” This “Dream Operating System,” fundantally based on the Chinese language, encompassed personal computers, smartphones, wearable devices, self-driving cars, logistics systems, and more…
Prior to this, the functionality of the “Dream Assistant” was discovered to be extrely powerful. With it, the primary system of smartphones beca almost unnecessary, as the “Dream Assistant” already included all the operational functions of a smartphone. Now that Dream Island had upgraded the “Dream Assistant,” it quickly began to replace the Android System on smartphones.
However, the replacent by the “Dream Operating System” wasn’t mandatory — users could choose to upgrade or not. But upgrading offered a significantly enhanced set of features, while opting not to upgrade resulted in a much inferior smartphone experience. Thus, unless soone was compulsively dependent on the Android System, many chose to upgrade.
The “Dream Operating System” not only began replacing Android on mobile devices but also replaced many personal computer systems. The systems of the Arican Microsoft Corporation were overly complex and fraught with too many vulnerabilities, inconvenient to use, and moreover, very expensive. In contrast, not only was the “Dream Operating System” free, but it also had faster processing speeds and flawless security performance. The installation was also incredibly simple, hardly requiring any advanced computer knowledge to complete.
The “Dream Operating System” was available in Chinese versions as well as versions in other international languages. So when Yan Fei played this card, not only did China swiftly complete various system replacents, but users in other countries also slowly began trying the “Dream Operating System.” With widespread use of the “Dream Operating System,” the market share of Microsoft Corporation’s systems significantly declined.
The “Dream Operating System” wasn’t limited to downloads and replacents within Android and Microsoft systems; even Apple Inc.’s iOS, often considered a closed kingdom, could also be replaced by the “Dream Operating System.” Simply by opening the download page of the “Dream Operating System” on an Apple device, without needing any approval or consent from the iOS, users could download the software and then install and run it on their Apple devices, thereby replacing Apple Inc.’s iOS.
Devices that completed the system replacent were not only able to function normally but also enjoyed many other features previously restricted by Apple Inc., delighting users who had suffered under Apple’s constraints. In a short period, a large number of Apple devices were replaced with the “Dream Operating System.”
Apple Inc. had long realized this horrifying reality — they were continuously losing their users. Thus, they had to act to stop it, but no matter how they updated their iOS, they could not stop the “Dream Operating System” from running on their devices. And the mysterious company that once stood behind them, providing technological support, had disappeared without a trace since Dream Island declared its confrontation against The United States of Arica…
Suffering a similar fate was South Korea’s Simsung Company, whose smartphone systems were also being massively replaced and were losing their users at an alarming rate, relegating their phones to rely being phones and the users becoming the true masters of their own devices.
To ensure the ecosystem of the “Dream Operating System,” the artificial intelligence “Dream” had analyzed all software functionalities in the market and quickly wrote a large number of proprietary programs for various uses using the computational power of the super photon computer. These programs covered a wide range and were more powerful than those from Microsoft, Android, and Apple. Once these apps were combined with the intelligent assistant of the “Dream Operating System,” they beca even more convenient for users. Most importantly, they were widely used, affordable, and within the financial reach of ordinary consurs.
After a complete system replacent, these devices had another characteristic; they beca very secure. Not only were hackers unable to penetrate these devices, but even The United States of Arica, known for its superior computational capabilities, could not access these devices and thus could not steal any data, ensuring the information security of the device users.
After comparing and personally experiencing the pros and cons of the two systems, no one wanted to return to the poor experience of the previous systems. China quickly completed the full system replacent across the entire nation. Other countries that completed the full system replacent represented the beginning of Arican technology companies permanently losing these markets. Without the support of these markets, software companies, represented by Microsoft Corporation, gradually declined and eventually faded…
Yan Fei played his trump card, catching Arican companies off guard, especially the Android system which was secretly planning to impose high usage fees on Chinese smartphones unless they refused to use its system and services. They never anticipated that Chinese smartphone manufacturers would suddenly abandon the Android system and switch to the “Dream Operating System.” This not only thwarted Android’s goal to monopolize and charge exorbitant fees but also knocked Android off its pedestal, turning it into a niche system and causing it to lose its market-leading position.
Microsoft Corporation had previously indulged in the use of pirated systems in China, intending to harvest users and explode its paid user base once the ti was ripe. If China did not relent, it planned to cripple all Chinese Microsoft systems using a backdoor, plunging the whole country into chaos. However, the sudden ergence of the “Dream Operating System” directly cut off their financial resources and handed over their market leadership position…
Yan Fei had many cards in his hand, and then he played the third card—selling 10 chip production lines to China’s state-owned enterprises in one go. This chip production technology had reached 2.5 nm, significantly leading the world by one generation. As everyone was shocked by Dream Island Technology’s strength, Dream Island struck again by selling ten photolithography machines to China’s state-owned enterprises. These photolithography machines were also highly advanced, equally leading the world by one generation.
With so many chip production lines and photolithography machines, combined with a completely new chip architecture different from that of The United States of Arica, China transford from the world’s number one importing country to a major chip-producing country. China thus bid farewell to its history of chip importation and no longer had to worry about being strangled by others.
This card truly shook the economic foundation of The United States of Arica. Losing the vast Chinese market, Arican high-tech companies would lose most of their profit sources. Without so much profit support, the pace of technological research and developnt of Arican technology companies would slow down, and they would quickly be caught up by newcors, eventually losing the world-leading advantage. Without the support of high technology, the Arican economy would experience an avalanche-like decline…
These strategic moves by Yan Fei were actually all pre-discussed with China, and it was because of China’s full cooperation that Yan Fei’s actions achieved unexpectedly great results. However, these plans would originally have been implented later, but noticing significant changes in the global situation and The United States of Arica’s temporary loss of military operational capabilities, Yan Fei and China decisively decided to launch their major strategies ahead of ti.
The facts also proved that the major moves of Dream Island and China were very effective. Not only did China completely rid itself of dependence on Arican high technology, but it also seized a large portion of the Arican market while Arica was preoccupied, striking a blow to Arica’s economy. After this move, whether in terms of the internet or chips, China had technically diverged from Arica, embarking on a completely different developntal path.
