Who wants to take the civil service exam after being reborn?

Chapter 475 Using Rogue Methods to Deal with Robbers
Although Chen Zhe didn't know why Song Shiwei suddenly wanted to go to the United States with Professor Lu during the summer vacation.

The explanation wasn't very clear in the text message, but when Sweet asked for his opinion, Chen agreed without hesitation.

Firstly, this seems to be the beginning of repairing the relationship between the mother and daughter;
Secondly, he was quite busy during the summer vacation. For example, he planned to fly to the capital tonight because tomorrow is cosplay sister's birthday.

The timing was just so coincidental; if the final exams had ended two days later, Chen wouldn't have had to work so hard.

Anyway, flying around all over the place this summer is inevitable, whether for business or personal reasons, so Sweetie's trip to the United States unintentionally gave Chen plenty of time to manage.

However, there is an even more important problem at hand. After leaving the Lei Garden Restaurant, Chen canceled an afternoon seminar and immediately returned to school.

Xiang Xiaohui's message was quite important; it at least gave the retrospective team two months to prepare, preventing them from being caught off guard.

After returning to Sun Yat-sen University, Chen Zhe first reported the matter to Shu Yuan, the dean of the Lingnan College.

Students are on holiday, and teachers may have a more relaxed schedule, but for school leaders, there are still many things to handle and many social engagements to attend every day.

Shu Yuan listened to Chen Zhe's account and took it very seriously. He immediately pulled Chen Zhe along to find Vice Principal Xu Ning.

They were all politically astute leaders, and naturally they could see that Psion's motives were impure.

If the school loses the case, it will also lose face, since Chen's ID during the bidding was "zhongdachenzhuo".

The two are now too closely intertwined, and while enjoying the glory brought by Chen, they will inevitably face some criticism.

"Principal Luo has gone to a meeting outside."

Vice Principal Xu Ning said, "I just called him, and he said that we must not let foreign conspirators succeed, and the school must stand firmly on the same front as the students."

Despite Principal Luo Jun's "bureaucratic jargon" and lack of useful suggestions, for a high-ranking leader, statements of "must" and "firmly" are of utmost importance.

Sometimes when you look at documents issued by the central government, if they contain this kind of wording, it's basically a red line.

"Chen Zhe, what are your own thoughts?"

Xu Ning asked. This wasn't his first time meeting Chen Zhe, and he knew that this student was very intelligent, even "wise".

"We cannot afford to lose in the retrospective!"

Chen reiterated this point.

Xu Ning and Shu Yuan both nodded; that was beyond question. The key was how to ensure they *couldn't* lose.

Chen then proceeded without modesty, quickly outlining his proposed solutions.

"The first approach is to quietly contact Psion, pay a certain price and make an exchange to dissuade them from filing a lawsuit, and ultimately form a cooperative relationship to eliminate the potential negative impact."

After making his suggestion, Chen glanced at the expressions of the two school leaders.

Principal Xu's face was ashen, and Dean Shu frowned deeply.

Chen immediately understood their position; this is what is known as the ability to "read between the lines."

So he immediately added, "But this method makes us vulnerable to being controlled by others, and the initiative is always in the hands of the other party, so I wouldn't use it."

At this point, Principal Xu and Dean Shu's expressions softened slightly.

Principal Xu sighed and said, "This method... is not impossible, but it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause, and it could be manipulated at any time."

Dean Shu also said meaningfully, "The so-called spirit of contract among Westerners is fake. They are essentially pirates, and our country has suffered a lot because of them. Just like this lawsuit, even if we pay a huge price to sign cooperation agreements with the other party, they can still turn around and break the contract."

In the 90s, when our country did business with the West, due to insufficient national strength, limited technology, and weak voice, our cooperation in military, aviation, science and technology and other fields was repeatedly manipulated.

Often, after a deposit is paid, the other party will find some excuse to cancel the contract, but the deposit will not be refunded.

The "Western spirit of contract" touted online, aside from any ulterior motives aimed at subverting the government, is mostly just the result of blindly following the trend and being ignorant of the world.

Since neither school leader approved, Chen Zhe didn't waste any time and jumped straight to the second option:
"Since its launch, the Traceback Assistant has never received a single penny. When they sue, I can turn around and accuse them of having an imperfect system and being irresponsible to consumers. Traceback Assistant has been helping people use electronic products better without making any profit."

"At that time..."

Chen smiled and said, "We'll bribe some media outlets to help spread the word and stir up public opinion, ultimately achieving a result of 'victory in defeat,' and hastily closing the case in a 'muddling through' manner. Even if Psion wins, they won't gain anything, and even if we lose, we won't lose any face."

This is equivalent to a "magic duel," using unscrupulous methods to deal with robbers.

There may be no winners, but there are no losers either.

Principal Xu pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's better than the last one. What can the school do to help you?"

Chen remained silent, picked up the hot tea that the principal's office assistant had prepared, took two steady sips, and then his expression brightened: "I have another way that requires neither compromise nor compromise, and can even make us the winner in the end."

Principal Xu and Dean Shu exchanged a glance, and Shu Yuan urged, "Then you speak!"

"Do you two leaders know about the Android system?" Chen asked with bright eyes.

This really stumped Xu Ning and Shu Yuan. One was a doctoral supervisor in social sciences, and the other was a doctoral supervisor in economics. Their knowledge of computers was limited to Word and Excel.

Chen Zhe was very patient and described the development trajectory of the Android system in detail.

Android was born in 2003.

In 2005, Google acquired the Android team.

In 2007, Google established a global alliance consisting of 34 mobile phone manufacturers, software developers, telecom operators, and chip manufacturers, and formed the Open Handheld Device Alliance with 84 hardware manufacturers, software developers, and telecom operators to jointly develop and improve the Android system and make its source code freely available.

In short, it's open source.

This is actually a tactic to compete with Symbian.

It is said that Google will officially release the Android 1.0 system this September.

Meanwhile, the world's first Android phone, the HTC G1, will also be officially launched in September.

……

Principal Xu and Dean Shu listened silently, then tried to understand it again, but they were still somewhat confused.

Principal Xu couldn't help but say, "Chen Zhe, how come you, who works in the internet industry, know so much about the mobile phone industry?"

Shu Yuan knew his student best, and his heart skipped a beat: "Wait! You're not thinking of entering the electronics industry again, are you?"

In fact, Xu Ning and Dean Shu also have "old-fashioned thinking"; they believe that "the Internet = computers".

But in just a few years, mobile phones will also be internet-enabled, and in another ten years or so, even cars will be internet-enabled.

"No no."

Chen quickly denied it: "I have no interest in that industry. I know a lot about it. It's just that [Tracing Back Mobile Assistant] is a software rooted in mobile phones, so I have to keep up with the latest industry news."

"Android is more flexible and compatible than Symbian. In today's world, sticking to the old ways is a dead end..."

Chen gave his reasons.

Shu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Chen Zhe did not intend to develop in another industry.

Chen's current career plans are very complex, and Dean Shu often worries that "too many dishes to chew on are not enough".

In reality, Chen's goal is to combine ByteDance and Xiaomi to create a comprehensive service system that covers people's daily needs of "clothing, food, housing, transportation, and entertainment."

Learning websites, intermediary websites, and even reply services, including future products, may seem unrelated, but they can all ultimately be categorized under the framework of "services." Following this development direction, things will be much more organized.

"So you think Symbian will be replaced by Android, is that right?"

Principal Xu asked.

But what does this have to do with the lawsuit?

Chen Zhe noticed the school leaders' confusion and took the initiative to speak up: "I want to use these two months of summer vacation to recruit experts to study the Android system and create an Android version of a mobile phone assistant that can trace back data."

"As soon as Psion files a lawsuit, I will immediately speak out and criticize their system for being flawed. The retroactive system will not only help you clean up your mess, but it will also be free. You are biting the hand that feeds you."

Chen continued, "Then, I resolutely launched the Android version of the Retrospective Mobile Assistant, and stated that the Android system is a hundred times more advanced than Symbian. Retrospective will no longer clean up their messes, so that these people's lawsuits will not stand on moral ground."

"I've seen this plan before; it's called 'Crossing the Chencang Pass in Secret'."

Dean Shu commented with a smile that this was not only using shameless methods to deal with robbers, but also stripping the robbers naked and giving them a severe humiliation.

The only and most crucial question is: is Android truly more promising than Symbian?

Although Shu Yuan didn't know the exact figures, looking around, more than 90% of the phones on the market were Symbian phones.

"This one……"

This is something Chen Zhe can't explain, but he's absolutely certain about.

Having no other option, Chen Zhe had to find another way, appealing to people's emotions by saying, "At this point in time, there aren't many ways to retroactively address this case."

"Either you concede defeat but remain at the mercy of others, or you take a gamble and test your own judgment and foresight."

Chen said with deep emotion and sorrow: "But countless historical experiences have taught us that at the moment that truly determines fate, recklessness is always closer to courage than cowardice!"
