Huang Xiaochuan did not keep this fake foreigner waiting for long; he explained his strategic intentions to David Young.

"Only by offering it for free can you promote 'profound' the fastest way. For example, if you were the CEO of Motorola and learned that a system existed that could rival Apple, what would you do?"

Huang Xiaochuan nodded and refilled their teacups: "What I want is to build a 'profound' ecosystem through a free strategy. As you already know, this system will allow programs to be freely implanted. In the near future, the various applications that rely on this system will be as endless as the deep universe. And once it develops to that point, there will be a massive number of users."

He exclaimed, "My God, once this system has a massive number of applications and a massive number of users, it will naturally form a powerful and sticky ecological moat. This idea is truly ingenious."

Huang Xiaochuan rolled his eyes at him. This guy was really out of touch. Where did his internet thinking go?

However, he patiently explained: "Once this ecosystem is complete, could we integrate Google? Could we add some value-added paid applications and services, like with Apple? Could we offer users paid data services?"

After being reminded by Huang Xiaochuan, he no longer needed Huang Xiaochuan to explain further, and continued the conversation on Huang Xiaochuan's topic.

"Mobile phone manufacturers will easily obtain this powerful operating system, but they will also be bound to the entire Deepin ecosystem. Their hardware design and after-sales services will have to be implemented according to the requirements provided by Deepin. In other words, Deepin is a platform with a new set of rules, and possessing Deepin means having the power to set the rules and establish dominance!"

Huang Xiaochuan looked at this fake foreigner with an expression that suggested he was a promising student; the guy was indeed clever.

There's a saying circulating in business circles: third-rate companies make products, second-rate companies build brands, and first-rate companies set standards (rules).

This guy is making the rules, my God!

Giving up the system's sales profits in exchange for an unshakeable dominant position in the future internet ecosystem and unimaginable huge profits—David Young felt he couldn't express it in words.

This strategic vision and tactic were ahead of their time, and David Young was completely captivated by this grand idea.

But then he had another question: "If it's so important, why did you tell me everything without holding anything back?"

"Hehe!" Huang Xiaochuan said his thoughts without any concealment: "What I want to create is an open and vibrant forest, and a forest needs all kinds of trees. Yuho is naturally a big tree in this forest. In terms of applications, Yuho has a strong foundation, namely Yuho's tens of thousands of programmers and Yuho's Internet service capabilities."

Huang Xiaochuan smiled and nodded: "That's right. Even if you hadn't come, I would have called you to come over and talk to you about this. I just didn't expect you to appear in front of me so quickly."

The two quickly reached an agreement on the matter. The reason was simple: each got what they wanted. Moreover, the biggest winner was Huang Xiaochuan, since he was also a major shareholder of Yuho, and his shareholding, whether overt or covert, had long exceeded 51%. However, these shares were held by multiple trust institutions or offshore investment companies. On the surface, Changhong Capital only held a portion of them.

The details don't need to be discussed in detail by the two of them; these matters will be handled by designated personnel. Otherwise, what's the point of hiring so many people?

Huang Xiaochuan was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha!"

Then he stood up and said, "Let's go! There are a few good restaurants nearby, let's go now."
