Chapter 255: Victory and Transformation

February 15th.

The patent lawsuit that dragged on for more than half a year finally came to an end with the judge’s hammer.

Zhongxing Group won a complete victory in the two lawsuits. The Shanghai Court dismissed the lawsuits filed by Google, Microsoft, Nokia, and Ericsson on the grounds that Zhongxing Group had not infringed the patent.

Immediately, the Pengcheng Court found that the four companies of Guge, Microsoft and Hardware had infringed the reputation rights of Zhongxing Group and ordered them to compensate Zhongxing Group for reputational losses of 6.47 million yuan.

As for the Sydney company, both parties are now their own people and have long since settled out of court.

Google, Microsoft, Nokia, and Ericsson have to accept this result.

After all, after Zhongxing Group uses Chinese language programming, it is fundamentally different from their patent. As a result, there is no way to talk about patent infringement.

If Nokia and Ericsson have not suffered any injuries, at most they will lose some patent fees and the like.

Then Microsoft and Google were in misfortune. With the sudden rise of the Galaxy-Tianhan consortium, Sanxin and Xueli were controlled by Galaxy Technology, coupled with the promotion of holographic projection technology.

At present, among the world's mobile operating systems, Taiwei System of Zhongxing Group has occupied about 46% of the market share. In addition, Taiwei System, which is covered with Sydney system, accounts for 21%. The world's mobile phone operating systems have exceeded three-thirds.

Two-thirds of the market share was occupied.

As for computer operating systems, Taiwei currently accounts for 29% of the world's share, and Sydney System accounts for 14%, for a total of 43%.

Moreover, the proportion of Taiwei systems is increasing day by day, although many countries are trying to prevent the monopoly of Taiwei systems.

However, Guge’s Android system and Microsoft system are not powerful. Computer systems in government agencies can still be mandated, but devices in the hands of private individuals cannot be forced to be replaced, right?

Especially since they claim that they are cooking lard, this is even more unacceptable.

The promotion of Taiwei Systems has brought another huge impact, and that is the issue of programming languages.

Taiwei system must use Chinese language programs to achieve maximum efficiency and compatibility.

If a transcoder is used to transcode an English language program into a Chinese language program, not only will it not be able to achieve maximum efficiency, but due to the mismatch in fit, the program will be prone to loopholes and defects.

There is also a very troublesome problem, that is, the software testing platform of Zhongxing Group is all in Chinese. To use the software testing platform, you must use translation software or understand Chinese.

However, this kind of trouble is not too big, but there is another thing that makes those foreign programmers complain endlessly, and that is the charging of software testing platforms and the core ideas of Chinese language programming.

The identity of Zhongxing Software Testing Platform is in line with other group companies of Galaxy Technology, that is, 1 Chinese dollar can be directly exchanged for 1 U.S. dollar.

The charging standard of the software detection platform is based on the number of vulnerabilities. A vulnerability prompt is 1,000 yuan, and the corresponding solution is 1,000 yuan.

Of course, there are also discounts such as annual or monthly subscriptions. The problem is that the price is not expensive for domestic users, but it is not friendly to foreign countries. A loophole costs 1,000 US dollars, and the corresponding solution costs 1,000 US dollars.

It is impossible for a software to not have hundreds of vulnerabilities from its development to its use, especially for large-scale software.

What's more, if you patch this vulnerability, it may bring out other vulnerabilities. In this way, it will cost tens or millions just to check for vulnerabilities and fix them.

As for not using it? If a company is willing to tolerate a drop in efficiency of dozens of times, then it doesn’t need to be used.

Anyway, domestic Internet companies are now unable to stop, and their dependence on software testing platforms is increasing day by day. Many programmers have become accustomed to using software testing platforms.

If we ask them to stop the software detection platform and catch bugs manually, they may feel similar to those who are recovering from drug addiction.

And the stock trend is sweeping across the Internet industry around the world.



Milijiaguge Company Headquarters.

Founders Brin and Page are back in charge of Google, while former president Angus has resigned, and Daniel, the idiot research director, has also been kicked out.

Yang Shuli, who resigned before, not only returned to Guge Company, but also became the chief technology executive.

Page looked at this month's market report and put the report on the table with an ugly expression:

"Yang! Tell me your opinion!"

"The performance of our system cannot compete with Taiwei's system, unless..." Yang Shuli hesitated.

Of course, Brin knew what Yang Shuli meant, which was to use Chinese language to reprogram the operating system. He was also quite embarrassed:

"Yang! Does your technical department have a way to bypass Zhongxing Group's patents?"

"Mr. Breen, I'm very sorry! No one can do this."

No wonder Yang Shuli said this, mainly because Zhongxing Group took advantage of foresight and artificial intelligence to frantically register patents in less than half a year. As of February 2o19, Zhongxing Group and other group companies of Galaxy Technology

, a total of 140,000 software-related patents have been registered.

Nowadays, any programming technology that may be used in Chinese language programs will more or less involve the patents of Zhongxing Group.

What's even more frightening is that Taiwei System's underlying program has an automatic detection program. This program will automatically detect whether the software has legally obtained patent rights.

If it is obtained legally, everything will be fine. If it is used without authorization, Taiwei System will first prompt the software publisher and tell them how many patents have been used without authorization and how much patent fees need to be paid.

As for wanting to act like a hooligan? Then wait to be banned by Zhongxing Group and receive a lawyer’s letter!

In fact, the software testing platform comes with patent testing, so software developed using the software testing platform generally knows how many patents it has used and how much patent fees it needs to pay.

If you knowingly violate the law, any company that intentionally violates patent usage three times will be put on Zhongxing Group’s permanent blacklist, so you won’t have to pay patent fees at all in the future.

Page also has a headache. Zhongxing Group has so many patents that no one can avoid them. In addition, there are also patents from Dongtang Internet such as Qiandu, Penguin, Alibaba, and ByteDance. The total is like a big mountain.

Of course, there is another way to avoid paying patent fees or pay less patent fees, and that is patent offset.

Patent offset, as the name suggests, means that both parties have patents that the other party needs, and then reach a consensus to authorize each other.

The problem is that Gu Ge currently has only a handful of Chinese language patents. Compared with the number of patents of Zhongxing Group, it is simply a huge difference.

"Brin! Brother Gu can't go on like this. We must use Chinese language programming to reconstruct the operating system, otherwise we will be eliminated sooner or later."

"I agree." Brin also knew that now was not the time to act impulsively.

"Yang, I agree to use the Chinese language to open the operating system, just go ahead and do it!" Page ordered.

"Mr. Page, Mr. Brin, I suggest that programmers from the Dongtang branch come to the headquarters, otherwise the research progress may be basically delayed." Yang Shuli suggested.

Page and Brin looked at each other. The two of them had initially come into contact with Chinese language programming these days. This thing would be really difficult to do without the advantage of their native language.

Don't think that translation software is free, especially professional translation software. The price is more than ten times that of ordinary translation software.

As for Gu Ge’s own translation software, it is fine for daily ordinary translation, but it may be a bit of a scam if it is used to translate professional Chinese languages.

So they now have to use the professional version of Zhongxing Translator.

The two thought for a while and then made up their minds. Page nodded and said:

"I agree to transfer a group of programmers from Dongtang Branch. In addition, the headquarters will also recruit more programmers who understand Chinese language."

"Those who are not suitable should be laid off!" Brin added.

As for those who are not suitable? Of course they are those Tianzhu people or black-skinned people. If they were not afraid of being labeled, Brin and Page would really want to kick all these people out.
