In fact, Baidu has not made any efforts, and last year, their own online community, Baidu Tieba has come out.

In the original history, Baidu's god-level product, but under the influence of Yuwenfei, the development was not so smooth.

Compared with Facebook, the simple interface of Baidu Tieba is simply a product that is behind an era......

In the case of being accustomed to using Facebook, how can users go back to using Baidu Tieba.

Therefore, since Baidu Tieba came out for more than half a year, it has been tepid, and even Baidu has not valued this product.

It's just to treat it as a normal web forum.

Of course, at the beginning of its establishment, Baidu Tieba was still very ambitious to be the world's largest Chinese forum!

Its goal is to target the Tianya community, and the counterpoint is not Facebook.

............

The battle between Facebook Entertainment and Baidu, Yu Wenfei didn't pay much attention to it, and this matter will not be able to come out in a while.

He was pulling Lu Qi, the technical director of Facebook, and Li Xin, the vice president of technology of WeChat Technology, behind closed doors to discuss a major matter.

"Have you ever known your phone's operating system?"

Yu Wenfei asked.

Lu Qi and Li Xin are both engaged in technology, and both Facebook and WeChat have mobile terminals, so they naturally understand things about mobile phones.

So both of them nodded, and Lu Qi spoke first: "I know better, the current mobile phone operating system is more complicated, basically each brand has its own system, but most of the functions are relatively simple." I think the more developed ones are Nokia's Symbian system, as well as Microsoft's WP. ”

Li Xin also nodded in agreement, "Nokia's Symbian is actually not so easy to use, but Nokia is a mobile phone giant, just relying on its own company's mobile phone market share, the Symbian system can also become the mainstream." There is also Microsoft's WP, which is also the one that smartphones on the market like to use. However, both systems have relatively large flaws and are not stable enough. ”

"Then have you ever thought that we will develop our own mobile phone operating system?" Yu Wenfei said with a smile.

"Ah, my own operating system......" The two were surprised, what does the mobile phone operating system have to do with themselves.

Although Facebook and WeChat Technology will not be involved in the hardware industry, our brother company, Star Electronics, will soon have several mobile phone brands, and will also occupy a large share of the mobile phone market in the future!

We have our own technical team, and it is not difficult to develop a mobile phone system, so why pay to use someone else's system?" Yu Wenfei asked rhetorically.

Lu Qi nodded thoughtfully, yes, it is indeed not difficult to develop a mobile phone system, and many mobile phone companies have developed it.

Moreover, the mobile phone market is not as highly unified as the computer market, and there is no standard at present.

Each mobile phone manufacturer is according to its own needs, to pay for authorization or to develop a set of systems for their own mobile phones.

Because the functions of the mobile phone are relatively simple, the system is not complicated.

According to his understanding, just like Nokia's Symbian system, he only needs to be given a team of dozens of people, and it will take a few months to get it out, and it will definitely not be worse than Saipan!

In fact, that's the case, and the Android system, which later almost dominated the world, was developed by a team of several people at the beginning, and it was indeed relatively simple.

In the future, the reason why no mobile phone brand manufacturers develop their own operating systems.

That can't be developed, but with the rapid development of smart phones, there are too many kinds of APP software.

It's useless for you to just have a system, and you still need a lot of APP software to support your system, but you already have an Android system, and it occupies the vast majority of the share, why should APP software manufacturers develop software for your system alone?

Unless you're willing to spend a huge amount of money on customization, which is too much to pay.

Therefore, Android has not completed the monopoly in technology, but has completed the natural monopoly and entry threshold in terms of market share.

In other words, it is not difficult for anyone or any company to develop a new mobile phone system, but after you develop it, how do you use it?

On other people's Android systems, there are a lot of various software support, and your system is bare except for basic functions.

You know, after the development, the mobile phone is no longer just a mobile phone, it is a mobile intelligent terminal!

It can even be said that the communication function has been weakened, and various entertainment functions instead occupy most of your use time.

What you use on a daily basis is actually all kinds of software, not the functions of the phone itself.

............

"Listen to what Mr. Fei said, I think it's really okay, now the mobile phone system is so chaotic, if we make a more user-friendly system, for the future to the brother company, wouldn't it be a combination of software and hardware, seamless connection. Lu Qi said excitedly.

"Well, and the upside of that is that we're system developers ourselves. Your own mobile software can be more compatible with the system, more stable, and more effective!" Li Xin also nodded and said.

The two of them are not thinking that far now, and they just think that after developing the system, it will only be used by their brother company.

I never thought that the system could be licensed to other mobile phone brands, let alone that the system I developed could one day occupy the vast majority of the mobile phone market, or even dominate the world!

Of course, there is no need for Yu Wenfei to say this now, the top priority is to get the mobile phone system out first.

"I'm not very proficient in the technical aspects, but I have a suggestion that this system should be made an open source system in the future, developed on the Linux platform, and you should know the benefits better than me. Yu Wenfei said unhurriedly.

"Open source, that is, any company can use it directly, and it will be a bit of a disadvantage for us......" Lu Qi muttered.

If it is open sourced, then the market share of this system will increase very quickly, and more software companies will be willing to develop software on this system. Li Xin thought more clearly.

"Yes, the development system is simple, but it is too cumbersome to develop all kinds of software. We can't develop all kinds of software on our own, so we have to rely on the power of the masses. Therefore, our system is directly open source and free for everyone to use, so that more mobile phone manufacturers and software companies will adopt our system. After all, things that don't cost money, everyone likes it, and Symbian and Microsoft's WP both require licensing fees. ”

Yuwenfei's purpose is to come up with a mobile phone operating system in advance to replace the Android system in a few years!

Now he has the absolute advantage to develop his own mobile phone operating system.

Facebook and WeChat Technology have a large number of senior programmers, and it is really not difficult for them to develop a mobile operating system!

In addition, Star Electronics, the legendary mobile phone has become a best-selling brand, and Lenovo mobile phones will start to exert force this year.

THE HIGH-END TPHONE IS ALSO UNDER INTENSE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.

In two or three years, Star Electronics Group will have three major mobile phone brands covering high, medium and low-end, and its market share will also be able to challenge traditional mobile phone giants.

At that time, it will have its own mobile phone brand, its own chip, and its own operating system!

Who else can compete with themselves?

"I'll leave this matter to Facebook, Lu Qi, you set up a project team as soon as possible to develop a mobile phone operating system. Yu Wenfei finally arranged.

"Okay, Mr. Fei, I'll leave this matter to me. Give me half a year, and I will definitely come up with a mobile phone system that will satisfy you. Lu Qi patted his chest and promised.

"Ah, what's wrong with me?" Li Xin said a little depressed.

"Haha, you have one more thing to do, don't get involved in this system. Yu Wenfei said with a smile.

............

After Lu Qi left, only Yu Wenfei and Li Xin remained, and the next thing to talk about was the matter of WeChat Technology.

"Do you know the QR code?" asked Yu Wenfei.

"You know, this is a substitute for barcodes, which is generally used in the retail and transportation industries. Li Xin replied, but he was a little confused.

What does this QR code have to do with WeChat?

Li Xin is right, QR codes are an alternative to traditional barcodes.

Barcodes, also known as one-dimensional codes, have changed the way business is done almost all over the world, making cashiers more efficient and customers saving more time. However, the original barcodes still had a ring design, and a giant scanner with a 500-watt luminaire was required to complete the scanning.

After decades of development, 1D codes (i.e., barcodes) consisting of multiple black bars and blank spaces of different widths have begun to reveal many shortcomings, such as small data capacity, only containing letters and numbers, relatively large barcodes, and the disadvantages of barcodes that cannot be damaged after they are damaged.

In order to compensate for these shortcomings, people began to look for better alternatives.

In 1994, DENSO officially announced the release of the first QR code!

Although DENSO Japan has the patent rights for QR codes, it is to promote QR codes and make the use of QR codes more common.

So they made it clear that the patent was free and open to use, and they wanted the QR code to become a "public code" that could be used at no cost and with confidence.

"We need to add a QR code scanning feature to WeChat, which will be a very useful feature in the future.

By scanning the code, our WeChat will have very practical and important functions.

For example, when adding a friend, you don't need to enter the friend's WeChat ID, you can add it by scanning the QR code of the other party.

For example, when WeChat payment, you don't need to enter the other party's first account number, you can directly scan the other party's first QR code!

Wait, wait, only you can't think of it, nothing you can't do!"
