433: Chapter 433: The Three Giants!

Unexpected situation!

The circumstances are urgent!

Everyone stands as if facing a formidable enemy, their expressions solemn.

They all know that the East African SAM Project is just an appetizer.

The real highlight is the billion-dollar Phase Two project.

Moreover, if this project succeeds, it will also drive the entire East African region and affect other countries.

At that time, by using a single point to drive the whole, many large projects can be accomplished.

Whether it is possible to leverage a market worth hundreds of billions of US dollars all depends on this battle.

If Tanglong Group can secure it, then for the next several years, there’s no need to worry about performance.

Furthermore, its political significance is extremely great!

Once the East African market is opened up, it can greatly promote the development of the domestic network communication industry.

It can create tens of thousands of job positions and contribute trillions of US dollars to the national GDP…

Not to mention the contribution to the domestic manufacturing industry by selling smartphones, computer servers, and so on to many countries in East Africa, which would be even greater!

However…

The idea is very beautiful!

Reality is very cruel!

Tang Xiao wants to secure the East African SAM Project, but aren’t other countries and companies thinking the same?

Obviously, everyone knows that after enjoying the appetizer, a lavish feast follows, where one can make money hand over fist!

Indeed, the network communication industry in the African region is still very underdeveloped, presenting a very broad market.

Therefore…

To secure this project, some have come up with the deadly strategy of ‘technological competition.’

After all, if someone manages to outperform all rivals technically and ensure safety and stability without risks,

then naturally, everyone will be convinced and it will be hard not to be selected.

On the contrary…

If somebody loses, it not only means inferior technology but also risks triggering a series of negative reactions.

At that time, people around the world will know that a certain company’s technology is problematic.

Forget about competing for new projects, even completed projects might face technical modifications or even demands for accountability and compensation.

What to do?

Tang Xiao took several deep breaths, continuously weighing options in her mind.

Bang!

Tang Xiao slammed her fist heavily on the table.

“Who the hell came up with this underhanded tactic, it’s so damaging!”

Cao Guanxu sneered, “No need to guess, it’s the big three international giants with the strongest technical power!

Only they would be so arrogant!”

Tang Xiao clenched her teeth, her eyebrows knitted in a cold frown.

The three big international giants are not to be underestimated.

…

An old company established in the nineteenth century.

Starting from telephones and telephone exchanges, its business has now spread across the globe.

In the field of network communication, it is the undisputed King.

…

A joint venture company.

Nokia-made mobile phones were once the invincible Kings of the 2G mobile era.

Known for their stable performance and quality, they were so robust they could smash walnuts.

Westinghouse has been established for over a hundred years and is a leading King in the field of electronics and electrical engineering.

In many areas such as electricity, transportation, automation, and their control, it has always been synonymous with advanced technology and stable quality.

…

Alcatel-Lucent CSA, an old communication giant.

Many people use the company’s network switches and WiFi routers.

But few know that in the fields of CDMA network equipment, wireless core network appliances, and network transmission equipment, the company is extremely powerful.

…

These three behemoths share common traits.

They are rich in talent, have strong technical capabilities, hold numerous patents, and have extensive experience…

With years in the industry, they have accumulated too much expertise.

In core hardware equipment and key system software, they all possess their own unique advanced technologies.

Just like veteran martial artists who have wandered the world for many years, they surely have their own trump cards.

It was precisely because of this that they were confident and fearless, proposing a “technical contest.”

Such a move would undoubtedly scare away those competitors with poorer technical capabilities.

So…

Would Tang Xiao be scared away?

A project that had been in operation for many years, with significant investment in manpower, material and financial resources.

Frequent arrangements for staff to travel to Sebia, communicating with clients, treating them to meals, giving gifts during festivals…

Just the business expenses alone were not a small sum.

Moreover, the group was given high hopes, shouldering the nation’s aspirations, representing the domestic communication technology industry in competition.

Therefore, this project must be won!

A technical contest must not be lost!

Tang Xiao made up her mind and looked around with a fierce determination in her eyes.

“To win this project, the three giants indeed went to great lengths!”

“Even if we lose the technical contest, it doesn’t prove that our technology has defects or vulnerabilities that can be exploited and destroyed!”

“After all, how could ordinary people and hackers easily find and exploit vulnerabilities to launch an attack?”

Cao Guanxu sighed and said:

“That’s why this move is so insidious and vicious.

It is deliberately stirring up trouble to scare off other competitors.”

“And if even we back down, then only their three companies will be left!”

“At that time, they will inevitably collude, aiming for a tie to score full points, and then compete on price—the lowest bid wins!”

Tang Xiao shook her head and said:

“This project is of great importance; we absolutely cannot back out!”

Cao Guanxu said with a wry smile, “It’s not that I’m intentionally boosting others’ morale while undermining our own prestige.

Going head-to-head with the three giants in a technical contest, our chances of winning are really not great.”

With that said, others began to voice their opinions.

“That’s right!

What if we lose and they discover our technical flaws and then spread the word?

What will we do?”

“Yeah!

If a vulnerability is exploited by hackers, it will definitely cause severe losses to our previous clients.”

“Then we will inevitably face hefty compensations from our clients, and on top of paying money, we will have to fix the vulnerabilities for free!”

“With a failure case, when we compete for new clients next time, we will be looked down upon!”

“Our bid team this time is well-prepared, but we really can’t guarantee a one hundred percent victory!”

“In this technical contest, we don’t expect to defeat the three giants.

It would already be good if we can hold our ground and not be breached!”

“If we don’t back down, the three giants will surely join forces to attack us!”

“One against three!

And they are three top titans!

This battle…

is not easy to fight!”

“How are we going to fight this battle?

Our equipment still uses their core components and software; they know very well if there are any vulnerabilities!”

“Right!

If we switch to all domestically-made equipment on short notice, performance will drop a lot, and we’ll be even less able to overcome them!”

…

The crowd discussed heatedly, their moods appearing very low.

In domestic terms, Tanglong Industrial Group was considered strong.

But on the international stage, it could only be counted as mediocre.

In recent years, exploiting the cost advantage in relatively backward regions, it had taken on some medium and small projects that international giants looked down upon.

To ensure advanced technology, stable performance, and powerful functions, the group had even spent money to purchase chips, software, and other products from international giants.

Thus, the group’s technical prowess was still far from being strong enough to contend with the titans.

Compared to the international top level, it was well known that domestic core chip equipment was behind and software functionality was not very stable.

At this moment!

Tang Xiao was troubled in her thoughts.

She was reluctant to let go of such a major project, yet knew that what everyone said was true.

How well equipped the group was technically, wasn’t she clear about that?

Competing with the three giants was like an egg hitting a rock.

What should be done?

What should be done?

It was surely not right to abandon a project that had been in operation for years and not participate in the final confrontation, was it?

But participating in a technical contest was too risky.

If a technical flaw or vulnerability was discovered and exposed…

the consequences would be unimaginable!

Insufficient technology!

Too risky!

Clearly, everyone’s opinion tended toward ‘abandoning’ the bid.

With one hand supporting her cheek and biting her red lip, Tang Xiao sank into deep thought.

Could it really be time to give up?
