"After the Pangu platform is opened, users have the right to choose different operating systems!" Lin Qi said, "Although we pre-install the Pangu operating system by default, we are not opposed to manufacturers or users choosing indos independently, according to the current degree of openness of our Pangu computer technology, you can develop and sell the computer version of Pangu indos." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your understanding. Bill Gates couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Microsoft is not a giant in the technology industry, whether it is compared with the new venture electronics group, IBM, or Intel, HP and other companies, it seems relatively weak.

In the history of Lin Qi's original world, Bill Gates once said after Wang An's computer went bankrupt that if Wang An's computer transformation went smoothly and made personal computers in the 80s and succeeded, then Microsoft might not be able to achieve the amazing results that followed.

This is because IBM's PCs are mainly personal computers with better versatility and are a substitute for those specialized computers with a narrow scope of application. Wang An's previous word processor was a special office computer, which once had tens of millions of users around the world, and in the United States in the 70s, Wang An's computer and office computer were equated.

Home gaming consoles can likewise be considered dedicated computers, but for gaming and entertainment.

In addition, there are some dedicated computers in each industry, which can only run industry-related software.

The popularity of PCs is mainly due to the fact that users need to buy different computers to make applications for entertainment, office, and all walks of life. In this way, users only need to buy a computer, and then, choose software according to their needs, or add peripherals and hardware, so that the computer can become a universal tool that can be used in various scenarios such as entertainment, work, and learning.

Microsoft's two main businesses, operating systems and office software, basically rely on the development of PCs. If, as in history, PC compatible machines have become synonymous with personal computers, Microsoft's operating system and office software should also become a big gold mine.

But...... Now that Pangu computers are on par with PCs, Microsoft is not only smaller than it was historically, but at the same time, the operating system has not formed a monopoly advantage, and it cannot obtain the excess benefits of history.

Historically, the reason why Microsoft is favored is because indos is a monopoly, and major software companies and hardware manufacturers have to take the initiative to cater to Microsoft, making Microsoft gradually become an irreplaceable giant in the PC market. With the right to speak, Microsoft can continue to subtly customize a bunch of rules that are conducive to promoting its new products. For example, use the compatibility of operating systems to bundle your own office software. In the early days, the success of Microsoft's office series software was not because it was the best office software, but because Microsoft's operating system appeared "BUGS" for other office software at every turn, so that other office software intermittently appeared some functional incompatibilities and failures. Although these failures were largely fixed quickly, Microsoft's office software market share grew every time other office software failed. For a long time, it added a negative status to the opponent, and eventually, the Microsoft Office series of software began to become the world's mainstream office software.

When Microsoft developed the browser, it was also aimed at the industry's hegemon Netscape Browser, constantly making small moves, so that the compatibility between the system and the browser continued to deteriorate, so that Netscape Browser users kept complaining, and then, Microsoft began to promote IE browser.

When Microsoft's market position became more and more consolidated, it was replaced by a pair of kind eyebrows, and said...... I have never relied on despicable means to make my fortune, but by convincing people with virtue.

The current Microsoft is weak and does not have a sense of threat to the new entrepreneurship department. Therefore, Lin Qi thinks that it is good to let Microsoft develop the Pangu platform version of indos. Avoid your own operating system team, due to the long-term lack of external rivals, gradually start to slack off.

If there is one more indos for users to choose from, the team of Pangu OS needs to continuously improve to prevent users from choosing other operating systems.

……

After meeting with Bill Gates, Lin Qi met with many people in the technology industry.

"AMD Jerry Sanders asks to see him, Mr. Lin, do you want to see him?" said Xiao Xiao holding a letter.

After Lin Qi looked at it, he said, "It's not easy to come all the way here, let's see each other." ”

"Mr. Lin, AMD stabbed us two years ago!" "Xiao is still very resentful, because of the incident caused by AMD, he has been busy for more than half a year, gnawing a bunch of technical materials and corporate information, and he has never been so tired when he studied hardest in school.

After that, as Mr. Lin's errand runner, he continued to cooperate with the upstream and downstream enterprises of the industrial chain to invest in accordance with the layout of the new venture electronics group.

Although, during that period of crisis, his ability has increased greatly. In terms of contacts, it is also much broader than before. Many domestic technology companies know that Mr. Lin's secretary is young and understands technology, and the key issues cannot be fooled, so now when they go out for meetings, they will be regarded as industry authorities.

According to such qualifications and abilities, it should be no problem to let it out to its subsidiaries to take charge of itself. Of course, for the time being, he was not left alone, mainly because there were no suitable vacancies waiting for him. Lin Qi is preparing that the leadership of a relatively large listed company will retire or resign, and he can choose the opportunity to send young people who are less than this kind of young people over.

After all, many of the secretaries under Lin Qi were trained by the management, and many young people began to transfer to management positions after being secretaries for a few months or a year or two.

Zhang Ru is the spiritual leader of the company secretary gang, as the secretary of Mr. Lin at the beginning, Zhang Ru is currently the longest-serving CEO of Xinchuang Electronics Group. Although Zhang Ru's internal prestige is average, he can't even control the company's internal R&D team. The bigwigs of the major teams are not at all afraid of management. Except for Mr. Lin, no one can tame this group of lawless science and engineering monks.

After all, the product research and development of the new venture electronics group is king, and patents are king. Any scientific researcher who has not contributed 180 patents to the company, has not published high-quality papers in top international scientific journals, and has not written a book published as a textbook, is embarrassed to say that he understands technology.

In the 80s ~ 90s, the gold content of domestic science and engineering students was relatively high. In the 80s, the domestic college entrance examination enrolled more than 100,000 and 200,000 students a year. In the 90s, it gradually grew, but it was only a few hundred thousand a year.

After the 21st century, a large-scale expansion began, from 1 million a year to more than 5 million a year.

The fresh graduates recruited by the new entrepreneurship department every year can be said to be the best among the more than 100,000 230,000 fresh graduates in China. A maximum of 1,000 places will be given a year.

After all, Lin Qi is relatively rigid, and the new venture electronics group previously stipulated that the number of group members should not exceed 10,000. Now it has also been slightly relaxed to the establishment of no more than 20,000 people in the group company.

After a year of accumulation, the major R&D teams of Xinchuang Electronics Group have been a combination of academic and commercial R&D. At the level of corporate culture, it is a talent who can innovate and develop products. What is management? Is it the waiter that the company has assigned to us?

At first, it's incredible. But as time goes by, some technicians become more and more arrogant.

Of course, even the people in the secretary gang, except for Zhang Ru, most of them are top students and technical experts. For example, Xiao Xiao seems to have done a lot of errand work, but in fact, he is a good man who is proficient in software and hardware. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been with Lin Qi for so long.
