Chapter 1492 The importance of the operating system
"Old Ren, you can go to the United States with me. Not only Macao, we will also bring in Google. This matter has a good chance, because Google and Macao reached an agreement a few months ago.
The Android system agreement states that in this statement the Android system will be fully open source, which means that anyone who pays the patent fee can use this set of source code to enter the Android system agreement, and of course Guowei can."
"What? Open source? Are they crazy?"
"They are not crazy, but they are far-sighted, because only in this way can the Android system quickly occupy the market when mobile Internet comes, and then achieve the purpose of monopoly. Our joining is also in line with the other party's layout. Who doesn't want to own us?
The country is such a big market?
However, an operating system with independent property rights is too important for the future smart era. The emergence of Android system has allowed the United States to take the initiative in this era. The reason why I am telling you so much today, Lao Ren.
First, it tells Guowei to start deploying smartphones as soon as possible, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is how we develop our own operating system, because the Android system belongs to the US government after all, although it was invented by Wan'an Company
Yes, companies are insignificant in front of the country. Isn’t that how Wanan Company was ruined back then?
Our country must also have a system that truly belongs to us, so my opinion is that we cooperate, I provide the money, and you provide the technical personnel, and we develop it quietly together. If we can’t develop it in five years, it will take ten years. I can provide it.
Come on, how about it? Do you dare to do this job?"
"Let's do it! Why don't we do it if Mr. Liu pays for it!"
Ren Weitian's words made everyone laugh.
Of course, Ren Weitian was joking, because he had already realized the importance of this operating system from Liu Lang, which was related to the safety of the country.
As a communications equipment manufacturing company, Guowei is well aware of the importance of those equipments to the country. It is not an exaggeration to say that these equipments are important to the country. Let’s not talk about the military aspect. None of the communications and command are classified?
Just talking about civil affairs, can the communication security of more than one billion people in the entire country be placed on mobile phones in other countries?
A very simple example is that there is a "backdoor" in the Motorola mobile phone in the United States. After being remotely opened, it can automatically turn on the phone and then monitor the user. If the decisions of the country's top leaders are allowed to be eavesdropped by foreigners, the damage to the country will be immeasurable.
, this is a real security issue.
Therefore, you must make the equipment and systems yourself, so that you can control your destiny in your own hands.
Ren Weitian is not an ordinary person. He was once a soldier and has a strong sense of responsibility. Although Guowei Company is a personal enterprise, the enterprise also represents the country and the nationality of the products is also Chinese. This cannot be changed by anyone.
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, your request is completely correct. As long as it is beneficial to the country, Guowei will do it. Now that the Android system has appeared, I will go and take a look. If there is an opportunity, I will definitely cooperate with them!"
"
Ren Weitian needs to see this kind of system with his own eyes before making a decision.
Two days later, Ren Weitian brought his team, several technicians and Liu Lang to Silicon Valley in the United States, and met the Wanlie brothers and Google's Page. After seeing the powerful application capabilities of the Android system, Lenovo
When Liu Lang mentioned the smartphone, Ren Weitian felt that this era was really going to change. The only problem now was the hardware manufacturing of this kind of mobile phone.
Google has started the research and development of Android phones and has a prototype, but this prototype is a bit ugly. Liu Lang is too lazy to complain. The products designed by a group of software engineers are not in line with the aesthetics of ordinary people at all, but this is not a problem.
The key is to let Ren Weitian truly understand Liu Lang's worries.
"It's amazing, it's amazing!"
Ren Weitian could not help but sigh when he returned to China a few days later.
"Don't say anything. This Android system is so awesome. It's so awesome. Let's not just put it on a mobile phone, but put it on a computer. The performance of the computer will be greatly improved, and its compatibility is too good.
It is simply inclusive of all things, no wonder Liu Lang regards this kind of system as his enemy, we must also create a similar system!"
Rather than saying that Ren Weitian was conquered by the Android system, it would be better to say that he was frightened, really frightened. In his eyes, the Android system was like a super powerful virus that would be incurable once it spread.
, the only way to combat it is to imitate a similar and replaceable system.
Of course, this will be very difficult. This is not to say that the system is difficult to copy. In fact, this is the least difficult point. The Android system has opened up all source codes. It is entirely possible for a group of software engineers to write exactly the same system in a few days.
system, but this is also the most difficult point, because even if you copy it, it will still be an Android system.
System software is not just a model. I just follow what others do and it becomes mine. It is the crystallization of human wisdom. Even if the source code is made open, Wanan Company and many engineers still own the patent rights.
Patent means that as long as you use it, you will pay royalties. With the widespread dissemination, who among you will develop similar products yourself? Just take it and use it.
This is the power of the companies in the Android Alliance. On the surface, it looks like hello, hello, hello, everyone. In fact, this is a strategy to occupy the market, making you gradually lose the ability to conduct self-development.
No one will refuse a product that is convenient and fast, but it depends on what kind of product it is. Strategic products can never rely solely on others. The core technology must be in your own hands. Things that are not yours will never be yours. What is this sentence?
All times are right.
Replacing the Android system is also very simple. It is just to develop a different system. It is that simple, but is it really simple? It is not like this at all.
The key lies in the market!
Ren Weitian knows the key point. This is similar to computer chips. Now Intel's chips are the mainstream in the market. More than 70% of the computers in the United States are using Intel's chips. The remaining 30% of the market belongs to Texas Instruments and two other companies.
Company owned.
Intel also has an advantage in the domestic chip market, with 50% of the market, followed closely by "Fuxi" chips, which account for almost 40% of the market. The two sides are fighting fiercely, but "Fuxi" has great stamina and has the home field advantage.
This battle will continue...
No matter how you look at it, Intel is the absolute king in the chip field. First of all, they have a group of real elites and a world-class team. Even Moore, the proposer of "Moore's Law", is one of the leaders of its team. This is a team
The all-star team is almost invincible.
Another aspect is that Intel's chips have accompanied the development of computers, from the laboratory to commercial use. Nearly half a century of growth has allowed Intel to "bring its own system". This is the key to its dominance of NS.5
