In the conversation just now, Liu Yun used greatness many times. Of course, he also admits that in modern society, the term has been used too often because it has been used too often.

But in his subconscious, he likes to see the word fall from the altar into the mortal world.

When you can't find the right word to praise the other person for a while, you can put this seemingly master key-like word on it, and most of the time there will be no mistakes.

"Mr. Ren, this is a great idea. Liu Yun didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to be perfunctory, "But developing a mobile phone operating system is different from chips, and in many cases, strength is not the only determining factor." ”

With a little sincerity, he gestured with his hand and said: "The key is the idea, otherwise it is as strong as Microsoft and Samsung, and it will not be a failure in the research and development of the mobile phone system." ”

After hearing this, Lei Jun on the side also nodded in agreement, and interjected: "Although Samsung has strength, I am not optimistic, because even Microsoft will be defeated so quickly, I really didn't expect it." ”

Except for a prophet like Liu Yun, who would have thought that having a Windows system, which is the dominant company in the PC market, would encounter Waterloo on the mobile side. After all, in the PC market, a series of various versions of the Windows operating system are so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and have a far-reaching impact.

At that time, even those in the industry who were optimistic about Android believed that the future smartphone operating system would be a three-point situation.

Who would have expected that after only two years, the original three-legged situation has long been gone, and only the confrontation between Android and Apple remains.

Microsoft has been defeated, can Huawei be spared?

Liu Yun thought for a while, and was a little puzzled: "Mr. Ren, I analyzed it like this. When Microsoft launched Windows Phone, the mobile Internet era was in its infancy, and it was just beginning. At that time, everyone was starting from scratch, and in principle, there were equal opportunities. However, given the absolute monopoly of the Microsoft system on the PC, their advantage is the greatest. But now you can see it. ”

Frankly speaking, Liu Yun has only considered the development of independent mobile phone chips, but has never thought about the mobile phone operating system.

He himself was reluctant to try things that seemed to have little chance, but when he saw Ren Zheng talking about it, the tone of excitement and expectation moved in his heart.

After a pause, he continued: "Mr. Ren, I don't disagree with this proposal, but we must be aware of the difficulties we will face, even more serious than the original Microsoft. ”

Lei Jun also answered with great approval: "I agree with Mr. Liu's words." Today's smartphone market is very mature. USERS ARE USED TO CHOOSING BETWEEN ANDROID AND IOS, AND IT'S HARD TO BE INTERESTED IN EMBRACING A NEW OPERATING SYSTEM. At the beginning, Microsoft's good internal and external conditions also failed, and now it is definitely more difficult.

Many Internet companies may not be willing to develop matching apps. ”

Ren Zheng sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "Of course, the two of you are right, but you ignore one point. ”

Even with the age of his previous life, plus the nine years of this life, Liu Yun is still a lot younger than the old man in front of him.

So he also has self-knowledge, and in terms of experience and insight, he is far inferior to this old-timer.

"Mr. Ren, can you tell me more details? Liu Yun's heart moved, and he asked in a low voice.

He vaguely seemed to have caught something, but there was still a little fog in his head, and his thoughts were suddenly unclear.

"For the United States, the American government, I actually know better than you. Ren Zheng took a sip of water, raised his head and said slowly, "I suspect that for several years, the U.S. government has secretly monitored the data of several large Internet companies. They can mine data and gather intelligence from these companies. Of course, this is my guess. ”

Born in the military, he has a strong sense of smell for this.

Lei Jun was surprised: "How is it possible, haven't they been flaunting the freedom of the Internet world all along?"

He turned his head and asked, "Mr. Liu, did you say that?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Yun, who had been silent, did not echo Lei Jun, but said: "I agree with Mr. Ren's point of view, it is completely capable of this function." Don't look at the Internet giants in the United States, but it is difficult for them to disobey the will of the US government. ”

His insight is not as profound as Ren Zheng's, but he knows very well that in two years, the world-famous Prism Gate will be completely detonated by a young man called Snowden.

Perhaps, all the cooperation between Yoyo and Google is under the nose of the US government, but people are too lazy to pay attention to such trivial things.

Lei Jun was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Liu Yun, who was younger than him and admired Internet freedom more, to give a completely different idea from him.

Come on, it turns out that this old guy and the young guy are both conspiracy theorists.

Ren Zheng glanced at Liu Yun appreciatively, and continued: "Don't look at what they always say: market economy and free competition. There is a premise for this, their company is stronger than foreign companies, if foreign companies are stronger, do you think they will still talk about these words?"

Lei Jun said, "This shouldn't be." After all, there are also many large companies in Europe and Japan that have a strong market in the United States and are very popular with consumers. ”

Liu Yun sat silent, thoughtful, and after a while, replied: "Huawei also has a lot of business in the United States, if only a few foreign companies in the United States have good sales performance and are welcomed by local consumers, this will not affect the overall situation at all."

As a simple example, the 80s of the last century was the golden age of the Japanese economy, but the Plaza Accord led to a sharp appreciation of the yen, a sharp expansion of the domestic bubble, and finally a long-term stagnation of the Japanese economy due to the bursting of the real estate bubble.

Since then, many Japanese products are still popular among consumers in the United States, but this is a small fight, insignificant, in the overall situation Japan has lost, their economy can no longer pose a threat to the United States. ”

But in the eyes of the U.S. government, is there anything critical about Huawei?

Liu Yun squinted his eyes slightly and recalled carefully, in addition to the fact that this company's communication equipment is all over the world, what else?

He suddenly vaguely thought of a news he had read in his previous life, since 20144444 4G began to be popularized in China, rapid development, to the time point of Liu Yun's rebirth in 2018, the word 5G is often mentioned, it is said that it is about to enter the 5G era.

Huawei's 5G technology seems to be in the leading position, and it is not far behind the United States.

Of course, Liu Yun only watched the news for a while and did not study it in depth. He only thinks the news is bragging.

But suppose, if Huawei's 5G technology is really as powerful as the news says, it will indeed be enough for the U.S. government to face a great enemy.

5G technology is a big deal.

It's not like selling a few mobile phones, or messaging devices.

"Could it be that in my unknown future, something that I didn't expect will happen, and Mr. Ren's worry comes from this?"

After Liu Yun figured this out, he smiled and said, "Born in sorrow, died in peace." This is the ancestral religion of mine. ”

Ren Zheng said approvingly: "After all, Android is also a product of the United States, and I am worried that one day, Google will cut off the service of the Android system." ”

Lei Jun said a little silently: "Android itself is open source, which is unlikely. ”

Liu Yun said: "I understand what Mr. Ren meant." We're not developing smartphones to replace Android, but we should think about the worst possible thing, ten or twenty years, what if that day does come? So...... , we need a spare tire. ”

"Yes, it's a spare tire. Ren Zheng nodded, "Maybe you will never be able to turn positive, but something is better than nothing." ”

The old man smiled happily when he saw that Liu Yun had been persuaded by himself.
