More than ten years later, Liang Ning wrote in "A Past About Domestic Chips and Operating Systems":

Just like more than 10 years ago, as long as you solve the problem of intellectual property rights, choose a technical route, find someone who can do it, and invest in it, the CPU\chip can be made. It's still the operating system that can't be solved.

This sentence has impressed many people.

But after this sentence, there is another sentence that few people notice, that is: the big gap is still ecology!

What is Ecology?

In today's words: Meituan is a nanny, Didi is a driver, WeChat is a secretary, and Tao* is a shopping mall....... Without these apps, no one would need an operating system, no matter how smooth and fast it is.

This is ecology.

Ecology is so important that IBM has tried, Motorola has tried, SUN has struggled, and even INTEL has tried to get rid of the WinTel alliance, and the result is that tens of billions of dollars have been spent, in vain!

(It should be noted here that the ISA (instruction set) of the CPU is the foundation of the software ecosystem; conversely, the development of the CPU also needs the support of the software ecosystem.) ）

……

In economics, there is a term called "path dependence", which is similar to "inertia" in physics: once one chooses to enter a certain path (whether "good" or "bad"), it is possible to become dependent on that path. It's a fitting word for railroad tracks.

The standard gauge was proposed by the United Kingdom, which was the first to use railways, and the original designers designed trams, and the track width of the trams came from the horse-drawn wheel base, and how did the horse-drawn carriage wheel base come about?

It was determined by ancient Rome two thousand years ago based on the width of the buttocks of two horses.

It is also these two horse butts that determine the width of the contemporary American rocket thruster (because it requires rail transportation).

This is path dependency.

So when we stand in the 21st century, we see that the 1900 leap year problems of operating systems, mobile phone OS, excel, RISC processors with hardware compilers, etc., are all caused by the burden of history.

So here's the question:

There are no professionals who can design instruction sets, no programmers who can make programming languages that can be popularized in the world, and even no pioneering technologies that can get rid of path dependence......

Therefore, for the CPU and operating system recognized by the majority of people, it is ........ in the flower planting family

There is no solution.

We can't do it!

……

Maybe someone thought of Android.

It's open-source and free. UNLIKE APPLE, WHICH HAS OBTAINED AN ARM INSTRUCTION-LEVEL LICENSE, ALL PROGRAMS ON THE IPHONE ARE ALL ARM NATIVE APPLICATIONS.

SINCE ITS INCEPTION, GOOGLE HAS REQUIRED ALL PROGRAMS TO BE WRITTEN IN JAVA AND RUN ON DALVIK (A VIRTUAL MACHINE DEVELOPED BY GOOGLE), AND DOES NOT WANT TO SEE ARM DOMINATE THE MOBILE PHONE FIELD, IT HOPES TO GIVE OTHER CPU SUCH AS MIPS AND X86 A CHANCE.

For flower growers, it is even the savior of many domestic mobile phone manufacturers!

But so what?

JAVA - Sun Corporation.

Such a simple example tells us: even if Android is rarely shackled by ISA, please take a look at its software development ecosystem.

What is the purpose of our pursuit of an autonomous operating system? Isn't it just to be controlled by others?

So what about programming languages? What about SUN's patents? Are they not controlled by others?

No!

Not only that, even if Zhao Song acquires Android, Google can still develop Quanzhuo, set Zhuo, even if Tesla has the foundation, ability, and human resources to reach the height of Android in the previous life, we can't forget that Tesla is a terminal manufacturer after all, and other mobile phone manufacturers will not train a father for themselves.

As for closing the loop like Apple?

In 2012, there was a news article that went like this:

"According to the law of the planter, enterprises that conduct business in the territory of the planter and have an annual revenue of more than 10 billion yuan (about 1.55 billion U.S. dollars) in the global market, and an annual revenue of more than 400 million yuan in the flower planter market, must obtain the approval of the government when making acquisitions. 》”

"Zhihua agreed to Google's proposal to acquire Motorola's mobile phone business. ”

"The government requires Android to be free and open source for at least five years. ”

What would happen if you replaced the flower planters in the above news with the United States, and Google with Tesla, which has its own operating system?

Needless to say, it was the ZTE incident in advance.

……

There is no solution to this.

Not to mention that there is no road, surrounded by an iron wall, there is no possibility of even wading out of the road.

Therefore, it is impossible for Zhao Song to make an operating system now.

And what he wants to do is.......

It's the other way around.

Remember those super apps mentioned earlier?

What Zhao Song wants to do is to stand at the height of the development of 5G, big data, cloud computing, data centers, and software and hardware in 2018.

That's to see, the Internet ecology!

……

May 2003.

Apple has sold out all of its ARM shares, raised nearly $20 in funding, and a year later, a top-secret project called the iPhone will begin to be formed;

The father of Android was still hiding in seclusion in unknown corners, and 5 months later, Android was founded.

In the flower planter, Taobao was established and began to block the invasion of Ebay head-on, and in the capital, an e-commerce website called Jingxi Mall struggled to move forward.

On May 4, according to the itinerary of a deputy T-level cadre, Zhao Song did not wait for Dada's brother-in-law to come to the door, but welcomed another important guest in advance.

A guest he had studied for two years and waited for two years.

……

"Are you nervous?"

Ziyu Villa, in the beautiful community garden, used to be a part-time retail worker in Tesla, and the beautiful Jiaoning was asking her husband with a smile.

"I didn't ...... No nervousness. ”

Wang Xin shook his head nervously, and couldn't even show interest in ridiculing the alpacas not far away, "I just found out that I can still live like this with money?"

"Isn't it just that the garden in the community is a little bigger, and there are a few more animals? How can they live?" Jiao Ning took her husband's hand and said disapprovingly, "OCT is not bad!"

Yes!

Wang Xin, who was born in a poor family, nodded affirmatively, after his own efforts, he is better than 99% of the people in the country!

Looking at his wife's slightly bulging lower abdomen, Wang Xin suddenly remembered her demeanor when she performed at Tesla's Xidan flagship store two years ago, and suddenly asked with a smile: "What kind of company is Tesla, so that you are reluctant to leave even if you are pregnant." It's not like I can't afford to support you. ”

“……”

Jiao Ning gently stroked her lower abdomen and whispered: "Because the first time our child is born, we will receive a gift signed by the richest man who planted flowers." ”

“......“

Seeing Wang Xin's slightly depressed appearance, Jiao Ning smiled and took her husband's hand, "Regarding the welfare of Tesla employees, if you are interested, I will explain it to you, for your question, I can only tell you a few small things about Tesla, and you can find the answer yourself." ”

"You say. ”

"Every new employee who joins Tesla will receive a text message called Tesla's Leadership Principles as soon as possible. At the forefront of this text message is Tesla's number one leadership principle: Custer Obsession: We care about our competitors, but we focus more on how to earn and maintain the trust of our customers. Most companies may pay lip service to the importance of their customers, but at Tesla, this leadership principle is much more than a slogan, but truly governs every aspect of its operations. ”

Tesla's annual reports always include a letter written by Zhao Song to shareholders in 2001. The letter repeatedly emphasized that the company's priority is not short-term profits, but long-term customer value. Correspondingly, the most important part of the company's employee evaluation is whether he embodies and promotes the implementation of leadership principles, rather than the revenue or profit he brings. ”

Every Tesla customer can write to Zhao Song's public mailbox to report their questions and get answers. Zhao Song will personally forward what he considers important issues to the responsible department. Such forwarded emails have a specific name in Tesla: ZEscation. The department receiving the email must provide a detailed analysis of the incident, how to resolve it, and how to avoid recurrence within 24 hours. ”

"Okay, okay......" Wang Xin rubbed his head and said with a headache, "I know Tesla is good, but I haven't received any attention from it other than being invited to meet its founder today." ”

"Hmph~"

Jiao Ning glanced at him and said disdainfully, "If I don't pay attention to you, why did someone ask my wife to agree to your request for dinner two years ago?"

“…… What?" Wang Xin looked at Yangyin's wife dumbfounded.

"Lao Wang, I married you because I discovered your sincerity and original potential when you pursued me. The former Tesla flag part-time sales Jiao Ning, turned to face her current husband, and said solemnly, "But if there is no attention from Tesla, do you think that with the dress you have never seen in the world, you can say that I will promise you to eat?"

After listening to his wife's words, Wang Xin's brain went down, and he saw him puffing up his throat, as if he had suffered a major blow, and asked with difficulty: "......What do you mean?"

"Smack~"

Seeing her husband's lost appearance, Jiao Ning slapped him with hatred and steel, and said fiercely: "That's right, it was Zhao Song who asked me to probe your bottom, but let me tell you Wang Xin, the old lady can be said to be the most failed undercover agent, because I lost all of myself~"

“……“

Wang Xin, a former poor boy in the countryside, finally led his team to set up a software outsourcing company after years of struggle, not only became a city person, but also married a beautiful wife.

The hardships and hardships are inhumane.

However, Rao is Wang Xin, who has gone through countless ups and downs, is still shocked by what his wife said today.

However, as the world's top programmer, Wang Xin, the mysterious boss of the Internet world, would never have thought that what shocked him the most on this day was not his wife's words, but another problem of the richest man in the flower.

Half an hour later, in the middle of the luxurious Lou Wang Villa.

The greetings were homely for a while, like the richest man planting flowers like the boy next door, handed Wang Xin a cigarette, and asked with a smile:

"Mr. Wang, you know Netscape. ”

Wang Xin nodded ignorantly.

"That's good. ”

Zhao Song smiled with relief, and then asked the question that shocked even top programmers as if nothing happened:

"What if......

I mean, if in the field of web technology, web development, only one development language survives until 20 years from today, combined with another long-lived technical specification (HTML), the most versatile software development platform for all hardware........"

"Then ......" Wang Xin replied dumbfounded, "Mr. Zhao, you should know, that.... That's impossible. ”

"I'm talking about ifs. ”

Zhao Song waved his hand and asked categorically, "If that's the case, what will happen?"

"If you say that........" Wang Xin's eyes gradually lit up, and then like a dazzling flame, the piercing Zhao Song narrowed his eyes, only to see him stand up with his hands dancing, and shouted frantically: "If that, coupled with the development of hardware to a certain extent, then Netscape's vision will eventually be realized."

Fuck the operating system!

In that case, all applications, not only penguins, soundfields, and web browsing, but also large-scale online games and various professional applications....... Everything, all applications.

Mr. Zhao, what I'm talking about is all, all of which can be realized on the web!"
