Ge Lingyue's question made Wang Yufei a little dazed.

"What kind of company? High-tech company, of course!"

"But with our current scale, don't you think we should focus on one thing first, such as whether we should focus on the development of the next generation of brain-computer chips, so that our brain-computer technology will always be in a leading or even monopoly position, and then consider other development directions after the position is completely secured?"

Ge Lingyue said bitterly.

I have to say that Ge Lingyue is still very experienced in managing enterprises.

Enjoy how technology is going now, and it's just a startup.

The technology that can be used now is probably a brain-computer chip. After all, there is a limit to the achievements of the superfast virtual machine.

Therefore, in Ge Lingyue's view, the most important thing for the company to do now is to tap as many semiconductor talents as possible, deeply cultivate the field of brain-computer chips, until it establishes its hegemony in the industrial chain, this process may be five years, or ten years, until the status of Changxiang Technology is like Microsoft's operating system, Intel's CPU status in the industry, and has a stable and strong cash flow, and then carry out other businesses.

Not to mention that Wang Yufei opened his mouth to be a Windows operating system.

Is Windows OS so easy to do?

Not to mention how difficult it is to bypass those foreign patents, how difficult is it to develop a system and promote it?

Isn't it a joke that there is no massive amount of money thrown into R&D and promotion?

However......

"But we are now in the leading position of brain-computer chip technology. The next generation of brain-computer chip technology needs to wait for some breakthroughs in basic science, and it is useless to rush and speak at a speed. In this area, we have cooperated with Weihua, and they will cooperate with some scientific laboratories to do some basic work, such as special mobile phones for the deaf and blind. ”

"So we put down the research and development of this part first, but I think the operating system is different. No hardware can exist separately from software, and seizing the pace of 5G and developing an operating system that can be easily ported can allow our company's products to enter a virtuous ecological cycle. Believe me, Mr. Ge, my judgment will not be wrong. ”

Wang Yufei insisted on his own opinion and persuaded him in turn.

Ge Lingyue finally understood what Wang Yufei meant by what he said in the car today.

The reason why she never cares about the company's affairs is because she has always cooperated with Wang Yufei to do things, and has never put forward her own opinions.

Even if opinions are made, they are only minor comments.

It has nothing to do with the direction of the company.

Now the problem arises.

Ge Lingyue really didn't understand where Wang Yufei's confidence came from, and he could get a piece of the operating system.

Although there were some things that Wang Yufei didn't tell her explicitly, with Ge Lingyue's connections, he naturally heard about some things.

For example, how did such a seedling-like company as Changxiang Technology get noticed by giant companies like Intel and AMD?

Isn't it because your boss is capable enough?

Took the initiative to provoke others?

Okay now, go against Apple, wrestle with Intel, and now want to touch Microsoft and Google?

But what can she do?

"Well, boss, then I'll ask you to convince me first, and I'll agree with your idea and cooperate with you fully! First of all, I want to know how much money you think it would take to develop an operating system from scratch, or what is your budget?"

Ge Lingyue asked solemnly.

"First of all, it's not about doing research from scratch, I've actually done a lot of groundwork. It includes the framework of the whole system, some underlying algorithms, development language and compiler. By the way, I've designed a new computer language, the compiler has been completed, and I'm working on the libraries and documentation. So when you recruit experienced staff, you'll need to be trained to do it in a new computer language. Before that, I will send you the technical text, and the company will be responsible for registering the technical patents and commercial copyrights. ”

"For these reasons, I don't really need to budget much. The main reason is the cost of learning and the cost of wages after these people come to the company. Because I don't know much about the company's salary structure, you have to calculate what the budget is. But if you think it's enough to come up with a few hundred million at most, right? One-tenth of the revenue from the brain-computer chip should be enough to last until this system comes out. ”

Wang Yufei's answer made Ge Lingyue feel a little confused.

Is this developing an operating system?

Why does it sound like a joke?

But the point is that she still heard it, this is probably really a completely autonomous operating system, because Wang Yufei even developed a new high-level computer language in order to develop this system......

And, of course, there's the new so-called underlying algorithm.

This made her feel that she and Wang Yufei didn't seem to be talking about the same thing.

So Ge Lingyue asked directly: "Before moving on to the next question, I want to confirm with you first, is the operating system we are talking about can be visually supported on PCs, tablets, and mobile phones, and the code size is about tens of millions of lines, if you add the number of lines of supporting software code may exceed 100 million, and it is not an independent operating system that is secondary developed by using other software kernels?"

Wang Yufei nodded, and then shook his head: "Everything else is true, but the scale of the code is not as exaggerated as you imagined." For example, I believe that Windows 10 has tens of millions of lines of code, but you also have to consider, how many of their code is invalid? These super companies have been running smoothly for decades, and each company's codebase is a giant ancestral mountain of in my opinion!"

"Newcomers have been tinkering with ancestral, so the code is going to be very bloated. Therefore, in fact, the number of lines of code for our self-developed operating system may be less than 10 million lines, and even if the supporting software code is added, the number of lines of code will not exceed 20 million.

Ge Lingyue nodded, she didn't want to comment on Wang Yufei's bold comments that Microsoft's operating system was an ancestral mountain of code. Just opened his mouth and asked the second question: "Okay, boss, it looks like we're talking about the same operating system." So the second question, how long do you think it will take for this operating system to be developed and commercialized?"

Wang Yufei replied quickly: "At most, half a year, if you call in enough experienced technicians, and the ability is enough, and the learning ability is strong enough, this time can be shortened." ”

Ge Lingyue was stunned for a long time before staring at Wang Yufei and confirmed: "What you just said was that half a year, six months, and the development of a non-secondary development, a new architecture of the operating system?"

"That's right!"
