"Solve together?"

Gu Mingzhang was not stupid, thinking, "If it was just like that, it would not be something that Mengya Family could do, and it requires close cooperation from the entire industry."

To be honest.

Gu Mingzhang did not have great expectations for this.

"What's up to people!"

Zhang Shuo was still as confident as ever, "Before he was a mess, it was because he lacked an industry leader and funds. Now, Mengya can completely play this key role."

With the reputation of the richest man, Zhang Shuo is unwilling to attend various interviews. The event is good, but he does not mind exerting some influence within the industry to bridge the differences and reorganize the dispersed combat power.

Just like the birth of Xirang Technology.

It would be impossible to accomplish without the afternoon tea between him and Ren.

"I thought so…"

Zhang Shuo subconsciously tapped the desktop with his finger, "For Xirang operating system, Xirang Technology is still responsible for the early research and development, so don't interfere randomly, and want to believe this team."

When doing R&D, it is most taboo to be a layman and lead an insider.

"When the Xirang system is released, you can consider promoting it to friendly companies, or even donating the entire system for free and handing it over to an independent association to operate."

“It’s nothing wrong.”

"As for the software ecosystem, is it mentioned in this research report?" Zhang Shuo asked.

"some."

Gu Mingzhang nodded with a smile, "The situation of the software ecosystem is actually very similar to computer accessories, and it is also complete but not big. Because with pearls and jade in front and back, it is difficult to win the trust of consumers."

This involves some strategies for foreign software.

In the early days, in order to occupy the market, they deliberately condoned the existence of pirated software. When the entire industry was using the same software, the latecomers would have no place to gain a foothold.

The intention is not uncommon.

"So, if I want to reverse this situation, my idea is, can I set up a super-large software industrial park in Binhai City or some other place? I will concentrate these domestic software companies in one park for research and development, and provide preferential policies at the same time." Zhang Shuo said.

"Well, to be honest, the idea of ​​the software industry park is not new. It has been done in many places, but it is basically not very successful. The reason is not the R&D end, but the sales end."

Gu Mingzhang's investigation this time was indeed very profound.

If no one buys or uses domestic software developed with great effort, there will be no operating income and will not be positive feedback from users.

This will lose the motivation and data support for software version updates.

Especially for eeda software, it requires real-time data feedback from the user side, and then builds a huge database, making the database itself a "technical wall".

Before 2018, domestic eda software was basically on the edge, but its origins can be traced back to the 1980s. As early as that time, China started the research and development of domestic eda software.

In the early 1990s, the first EDA software "Panda Cad System" was born.

However, with the lifting of the ban, overseas EDA companies entered the Chinese market one after another. Domestic EDA, which was still in its initial development stage, was no match for international giants at all and was strangled in its infancy.

For a long time afterwards, no progress was made.

Until 2018, Warwick and others accelerated their investment in domestic EDA. Driven by the dual driving of funds and markets, they achieved rapid development in just a few years.

Therefore, Zhang Shuo was confident to say that he would bring domestic software out of difficulties.

Because after all, as long as there is funds, talents, and market demand, the technical difficulty of software development is not very high, at least it cannot be compared with chips and CPUs.

It's easy to catch up.

"As for the sales end, if you want to talk about it, you can start the trial of Mengya and companies that have cooperated with Mengya. If you want to talk about it, you can implement free genuine authorization, at least three years, and at most ten years, when will domestic genuine software reoccupy the market and when will the charge start?"

"During the free period, subsidies will be provided by Mengya and his partners." Zhang Shuo was very proud.

"this…"

Gu Mingzhang was also shocked and reminded: "This subsidy is a considerable expense."

Sudianyi has a revenue scale of over 100 billion yuan per year.

Even if you are rich and powerful, you cannot leverage the entire market by just your own strength.

"Then...what do you mean?" Zhang Shuo asked.

"I suggest that if you really want to promote this big event, it is best to convince the official to participate, and the official will take the lead in implementing the subsidies. The budding only plays an auxiliary role." Gu Mingzhang suggested.

"This is a good idea."

Zhang Shuo also agreed. No matter how selfless he is, he cannot say that using all the budding profits to fill this big hole is the real killing of chickens and eggs.

There is no need either.

To put it bluntly, the budding development must also be coordinated with the great development of China.

"There is another thing. The concept of domestic software is actually very broad. In the early stages of development, it is best to establish a key support direction. First make a batch, and then promote the next batch."

Gu Mingzhang did not make any decisions, but believed in the foresightful talent of the boss in this area.

"Then take industrial software as a key breakthrough area."

Zhang Shuo soon had an idea.

Core industrial software is a software that closely combines scientific computing with industrial technology and is mainly used in the fields of industrial product research, development, design and production and manufacturing. It is typical for software such as cae (computer-aided engineering), cad (computer-aided design), and eda (electronic design automation).

This type of R&D design software has the characteristics of small size, high concentration, high development difficulty, long development cycle and high capital demand, and is an extremely important category in industrial software.

It is also the weakest category, so it is the first part to consider when developing domestic industrial software.

"OK!"

Gu Mingzhang nodded and wrote down.

After the discussion between the two came to an end, Zhang Shuo remembered Lu Qi, the rotating president who attended the meeting, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Lu, do you have any ideas or suggestions?"

"I agree with the idea of ​​setting up a software industrial park and support genuine subsidies. This is the only way to shorten the gap with foreign countries, and there is no shortcut."

Lu Qi has been listening carefully.

"As for the subsidies for software, in addition to finding the official, you can actually make up for them from the hardware."

"oh?"

Zhang Shuo became interested in it immediately.

"Whether it is a maili notebook or a desktop computer, the Xirang operating system should be one of the core selling points. So, in order to promote the Xirang system, it is necessary to have supporting domestic software."

"These two are actually complementary."

"The chairman just said that in order to promote the Xiyuan system and establish a new ecosystem as soon as possible, we can consider fully liberalizing the Xiyuan system for use by friendly companies. This is a very clever approach."

Pingguo's fully enclosed ecology has become increasingly criticized.

And Yingtel.

It was also because of the closure that it was defeated by the fully open arm.

"Of course, if it were me, you might not be as generous as the Chairman. You would consider charging users an appropriate patent usage fee while opening the Xilan system."

"Obviously, your advice is more appropriate."

Zhang Shuo also accepted it humbly because of a strong sense of crisis. He may say that he is more considering doing things, so he can ignore costs to a certain extent.

It will also be more emotional.

Fortunately, as a professional manager, Gu Mingzhang will promptly find a patch for Zhang Shuo and add patches. What was finally discussed is a more stable and more in line with business rules.

That's great!

"The more Xirang system is recognized by consumers, the more Maili laptops and desktops can become mainstream in the market and be recognized by the public. Then the previous subsidies for software can be made back from selling hardware."

Lu Qi continued to elaborate on his point of view.

"After that, after Maili laptops and desktops become the mainstream of the market, they can rely on their hardware advantages to bundle and sell new software, so as to use hardware to drive the profits of the software."

in this way.

This forms a perfect closed loop.

"Hardware, operating system, software, this is the rhythm that all require." Zhang Shuo smiled and joked.

"Yes." Lu Qi did not shy away, "This is a very ambitious strategic goal, which may take ten years or even longer to be implemented before it can be finally achieved."

"ten years...."

Gu Mingzhang thought something and subconsciously glanced at Zhang Shuo.

On a longer time scale, ten years are not long, but for the beginning of its establishment, ten years seem to be an extremely long stage.

Not to mention ten years.

It is even hard for Gu Mingzhang to predict what the budding will look like in five years.

"Then it's time for Mr. Lu to draft a project report on the construction of the software industrial park and vigorously support the development of domestic software as soon as possible." Zhang Shuo recognized Lu Qi's idea.

"no problem."

Lu Qi is in charge of the group's Internet affairs, so the software sector is naturally under his control. At the same time, he suggested: "Because there are many domestic software categories, you can actually set up two to three software industrial parks. It is not necessarily necessary to concentrate all software companies in one industrial park. This can also reduce the local subsidy pressure in disguise."
