PS. Present the May Day update, don't hurry up to play after reading, remember to vote for the month first. From now on, you can enjoy double monthly passes for the 515 Fan Festival, and you can also take a look at other activities with red envelopes!

Hongnian Technology Co., Ltd. is a large-scale electronic processing factory with a strong production capacity, which can produce tens of thousands of computers in a week!

In order to become famous, Hongnian Technology spent 10 million yuan to advertise on major TV stations.

The scene in the commercial video is in a very cool, high-tech production base, and there are many European and American foreigners in white overalls.

At this time, the subdued narration sounded: "Hongnian Technology has joined hands with Cyrix, the world's third largest microprocessor manufacturer, and Williams Electronics, a top electronics giant company under the name of the world's richest man, to build a computer with global performance and a price of only 3,500 yuan! In mid-June, Williams retail stores across the country sold ......."

At the end of the advertisement, four large gilded characters appeared on the screen, "Hongnian Technology"!

Advertising just to promote a product is a failure. The purpose of advertising is to promote the brand, Hongnian Technology is the brand, as long as the brand is famous, any product launched in the future will get twice the result with half the effort!

This ad didn't have a lot of creativity, but it worked well!

Perhaps, the Chinese people don't even know what kind of company CYRIX is, but it doesn't matter, as long as they hear that it is the third company in the world, it is a great company! They may not know what company Williams Electronics is, but it doesn't matter, as long as they know that it is the company of Henry Williams, the richest man in the world, it is also a great company!

Henry Williams: Can they not know?

Since both companies are so awesome, it is natural that the computer should also be very awesome. Isn't it?

Hongnian computers were soon distributed to Williams retail stores all over the country.

More than 300 retail stores have been renovated to be completed by mid-June, and then they will be fully opened!

On the opening day, the Williams retail store was crowded with people, rubbing shoulders with each other, and it was very hot!

Today's computers cost tens of thousands of yuan at every turn. Hongnian computer only costs 3500 yuan, which naturally attracts countless people!

In 1994, the computer room was on the rise, 5 yuan for an hour on the computer, 18 hours of work on a computer, you can earn 120 yuan a day, if you have five computers, you can earn 600 yuan. At that time, the salary was only a few hundred yuan a month. Opening a computer room is a lot of money, one day is worth a month for others!

However, computers are too expensive, and the cost of opening a computer room is too high. But now, Hongnian computer only needs 3500, the threshold for opening a computer room is low, and you can add a lot of computers at once!

Hongnian computer immediately sold out. More than 6,000 units were sold that day, with an average of more than 20 computers sold in each retail store.

Henry priced the computer so low. That's something else.

If you look at the programs on the computer desktop after booting up, you can see that they are basically the software of Henry's company, and the number of users is increased by bundling! The system software currently used is not Microsoft's system. It's the Linux system, and Henry wants to use the Linux system to challenge the Windows system!

Microsoft's system costs $100 each, and the cost of a computer has to increase by nearly 1,000 yuan, which is too expensive. It is impossible for Henry to let Hongnian Technology Company use Microsoft's pirated system, otherwise it will be more expensive. And he has to be sued by Microsoft! The Linux system is Henry's own system.

Linus Tovoz, the father of Linux, was a hacker who joined 360 McAfee's "Matrix Empire" division in early 1991, during which time he worked with several hackers to develop Linux with the support of 360 McAfee. Therefore, the copyright of the Linux system belongs to 360 McAfee, that is, Henry!

The Linux system is a UINX-like system, that is, a system developed based on the UINX system, but with the help of its design, the code is not copied from UINX, therefore, there is no infringement. Unix systems are ATamp; The operating system developed by company T has a huge influence, it was an open source system before, and later, when it saw that the profit was relatively large, it was charged!

The uinx system can be said to be in addition to Microsoft, other operating systems are basically uinx-like systems, such as Linux system, Apple's MacOS-X system, sun's Solaris system and so on!

Microsoft can challenge so many systems on its own, and it is enough to hang!

However, for now, Microsoft is not yet in an absolute monopoly position, and there are still many systems on the market that pose a threat to it. Of course, as soon as Windows 95 comes out, then it really has a monopoly......

Microsoft has developed for so many years, accumulated a lot of technology, and has also been supported by many software companies, and the software is abundant. The only way to speed up the pace of catching up is to open source the system, so that developers of all operating systems in the world can design the Linux system together!

Therefore, after developing the Linux system, Henry decided to publish the source code. So, he set up a website, "Linux Open Source Community", and published the source code on the website, so that programmers around the world could download it, and at the same time, he could upload the improved system kernel!

Open source means no money, which naturally attracts a lot of operating system developers and enthusiasts. In order to fool them into uploading their improved system kernel to the Linux open source community, Henry vigorously advocated and shouted the slogan: "The spirit of the Linux system is to share !!"

From 1991 to the present, under the leadership of the "Matrix" department of 360 McAfee, the Linux system has developed very fast and become more and more powerful after countless operating system enthusiasts and learners have improved together! According to statistics, nearly one million users around the world are using the Linux system. The vast majority of them are servers, workstation systems. There are few PCs that use the Linux system!

Some people may wonder if open source means that the system is free, how can this make money? In fact, there are many ways to make money from open source.

First, technical services. Let's say there is a company that wants to get involved in the computer industry and make computers with Linux systems. However, this company is not well-versed in operating systems. Well, if there is a problem with the system, it needs technical service!

Second, sell hardware through a free system. Just like Hongnian computer, the system is free, the price is low, very competitive, and the hardware can be sold!

Third, application services. Rolling out paid applications on the system is usually bundled!

Fourth, accessories. Develop open source peripheral products, such as publishing open source technical books, etc.!

Fifth, develop a variety of product lines. The Linux system can launch a general open source system and a professional version of the charging system, such as some servers with special functions, it may need a more targeted and professional system!

Of course, there are many ways to make money, and we still need to continue to explore!

Linux system usually refers to the system kernel, a complete operating system, including the kernel, function library, user interface three main parts. Other companies can customize their own systems according to their needs, just like Android, which is actually the Linux kernel.

At present, Microsoft's system has not formed a monopoly, and there are relatively few Chinese who have used computers, and now let them be the first to contact the Linux system, it should be easier to accept!

(PS: I went out for two trips to drink wine today and was dizzy.) In addition, there was an old man in the neighborhood who died, and his children wept all night, alas...... Don't talk about it, it's more tomorrow !!)

[Thank you for your continued support, this time from the 515 Fan Festival of the Writer's Hall of Glory and the General Election of Works, I hope you can support it.] In addition, there are some red envelopes on the Fan Festival, get one and continue the subscription!] (To be continued.) )
