After Lenovo Group introduced the L-Pad, they had become the target of everyone. All the PC companies had their eyes on Lenovo Group. They had even formed an alliance to push Lenovo Group away.
If it was only Hua Xia market, there was nothing to worry about. The combined sales of those PC companies could not be compared to Lenovo Group. Furthermore, China was Lenovo's home turf.
But in the western countries and the US, Lenovo Group's expansion was hindered by other countries.
Feng Yu thought Lenovo Group would be invincible after the introduction of the L-Pad. Also, ultrabook, games, and business laptops were selling well, and Lenovo should be ahead of other PC companies.
But after the introduction of the L-Pad, the market was split.
Some people felt this product was great and could meet their requirements. This was their dream product. There was another saying that this product was flashy and was just a smartphone. Everyone was cheated by Lenovo Group!
The second saying was from those PC manufacturers. They were developing their own L-Pad, and at the same time, they were trying to stop Lenovo Group's L-Pad from selling their L-Pad.
It was not easy for them to develop their L-Pad, but the market was already saturated. All their efforts had gone to waste.
These manufacturers knew if this product was good or not. If they were the ones who developed the L-Pad, they would praise their products to the skies.
But if their competitors developed the L-Pad, they will belittle them. After that, they will introduce their own L-Pad to change their reputation and capture the market.
But now, there was a major problem with the development of these products. It was not about the product's exterior or hardware design. The manufacturers could solve these problems after dismantling Lenovo Group's L-Pad.
They could also buy the patent authorization from ARM. Anyway, the cost was not high, and the consumers were the ones paying.
Their biggest problem now was the battery, the screen, and the system.
Tai Hua Batteries was the best battery in the world. There were other companies that could also produce high quality batteries, but their prices were higher.
Using Tai Hua Batteries was helping Feng Yu make money. If they did not use the batteries, they would also have to spend more money. They didn't want Feng Yu to earn more money, but at the same time, they wanted to earn more for themselves. It was very contradictory in their hearts.
It was the same for screens. Some manufacturers had good technology and could solve the problem themselves, but there were also some manufacturers whose technology was slightly behind. The shortcomings of their own touchscreen panels were too obvious. Either the touch was not sensitive enough, or the screen was easily damaged, or the screen was not clear enough, and some used too much power, and so on.
There were ways to solve these problems, but the core problem was the operating system.
They realized that Microsoft's operating system cannot be used on this tablet. But Lenovo Kingsoft's HOS tablet operating system is suitable.
They knew very well that once they adopted the HOS system, it would monopolize the tablet computer market.
This way, they might be able to nurture a company like Microsoft. They will set stringent requirements on their hardware and PC manufacturers to make high profits.
Lenovo Kingsoft's XOS was already on par with Microsoft's PC operating system. Many people even said that if Microsoft could not develop a better PC operating system, Microsoft's position as the top operating system will be taken away by Lenovo Kingsoft.
Vista had performed badly. If not for the fact that many people were still using XP, Microsoft might have lost by now.
Lenovo Kingsoft's HOS operating system was praised by more people, and a few other mobile phone manufacturers other than Hua Xia had adopted it. There were also rumors that other mobile phone giants were considering it.
Microsoft, Hei Mei, and Symbian were no match for Lenovo Kingsoft's smartphone operating system. But many people felt that Apple's IOS operating system was not bad.
Someone had said that Lenovo Kingsoft's HOS operating system will be the industry leader and might even become the industry's standard. Microsoft had laughed at this claim.
Other than Microsoft, who else can be the industry leader? IBM cannot, Apple cannot, and that Hua Xia's Lenovo Kingsoft will not be able to!
But in fact, Microsoft's smartphone operating system was only so-so. But Microsoft immediately announced that they will introduce a new smartphone operating system, and many people were looking forward to it.
Also, Microsoft also announced that they will be upgrading their XP operating system to this tablet. From this, Microsoft seems to have high hopes for this tablet.
Lenovo Kingsoft immediately responded that Microsoft's tablet was different from Lenovo Group's tablet. Microsoft's operating system was also incomparable to Lenovo Kingsoft's operating system.
An operating system that was developed around the turn of the millennium was already outdated after such a long time. Furthermore, Microsoft had introduced an upgraded operating system called VISTA. Everyone had seen how well VISTA performed.
The other PC manufacturers were also hesitating if Microsoft can still be trusted. What if Microsoft's XP operating system was the same as VISTA? What if Microsoft felt it was better, but the consumers did not buy it?
But by using the HOS operating system, they will be supporting Lenovo Kingsoft. Lenovo Kingsoft was a subsidiary of Lenovo Group!
Helping Lenovo Kingsoft to make money was equivalent to strengthening Lenovo Group.
Although many PC manufacturers were working with Lenovo Kingsoft, they wanted to find a balance between Microsoft and Lenovo Kingsoft. They cannot let one company monopolize the market. This was in their best interest.
Of course, it would be better if they could invest in Microsoft or Lenovo Kingsoft. But it was impossible.
Microsoft does not lack money, and Lenovo Kingsoft also does not lack money. Feng Yu was the World's Richest Man. His assets alone were comparable to the world's top PC companies.
Furthermore, Feng Yu could use his influence to control more funds. Many companies that should be listed were not listed by Feng Yu.
If he lacks money, he will invest it himself. Anyway, he has the money.
During this period, the other PC manufacturers thought of a solution. They will sue Lenovo Group and Lenovo Kingsoft for monopolizing their PC.
Although Liu Chuanzhi told them not to worry about this, and they were not afraid of lawsuits, Feng Yu felt this was too disgusting.
More importantly, those mobile phone manufacturers started to attack Lenovo Kingsoft's HOS operating system. There were rumors that Microsoft and Apple were behind this!
It's time to retaliate!
