Chapter 745 Technical Standards Open Conference (2)
"I've always been a believer in productivity. It is believed that the only factor that promotes the progress of human society is mainly human knowledge and technological inventions. Therefore, from the perspective of human development, I think that in the longer term, the market is divided into smaller parts, and each more and more detailed market has its own specialized enterprises, which are better than other enterprises in their own fields, in order to maintain the competitiveness of their own market segments and industry barriers, these enterprises need to invest more energy and innovate in details, which is actually very good.
At the same time, countless different parts manufacturers can produce countless possibilities. Subdivided parts manufacturers may not only supply to one enterprise or one industry, but may provide their own superior technology to many enterprises and many industries, and the division of labor across industries and fields may produce more subversive inventions.
It is precisely for this reason that in fact, I encourage the social division of labor, encourage some enterprises, only do what they are best at, and encourage more and more enterprises to appear, rather than pursuing a monopoly market.
Before, the reason why we had to develop all the hardware and important software of a computer by ourselves was mainly because we were not IBM, and we simply did not have the ability to respond to all calls.
Precisely because no manufacturer will recognize us.
Therefore, we have to do most of the things ourselves, and many of the unprofitable R&D costs are paid unilaterally by ourselves. For example, we invest a lot of money every year to improve the Pangu operating system, so that users can continue to get a better experience, at the same time, I personally insist that the operating system should be a public good, and users should not pay for the operating system. Therefore, the Pangu operating system only charged the cost of manufacturing and circulating optical discs at the beginning, and the software itself did not make a penny of profit from it. After the Internet era, we provide free downloads, so that users can easily use the new Pangu operating system that is free and constantly updated. ”
Although Lin Qi held the speech draft, he basically didn't read it carefully, basically, he just spoke according to his own style, anyway, with his influence, a few words he said at any time might be regarded as a golden rule and chicken soup for the soul. And, from a moral point of view, who wouldn't brag a lot?
Like, isn't monopoly bad?
Of course!
However, the larger the enterprise and the longer the monopoly, the more serious the backlash will be. What's more, the monopoly industry is not static, and the industry may also encounter opponents in the future, or become a low-growth industry or a sunset industry. With this energy to monopolize, it is better to take out the benefits to lure more upstream and downstream manufacturers into the period when the industry can still grow, and then collect the patent fees of these manufacturers and sell core components to these manufacturers, so that the scale of revenue may decline some, but the scale of net profit will not change, and at the same time, the income is more hidden.
At the same time, the core technology is in their own hands, and the patent standards are also formulated by themselves, so they can naturally continue to extract profits.
IBM's mistake at the beginning was mainly that it didn't realize that it didn't actually master the core technology of the PC, and the core technology of the PC that it really mastered was Intel and Microsoft. These two enterprises, one is the CPU and the other is the operating system. These two key technology vendors, as long as they are connected in series, can overhead IBM.
However, after Pangu's technology was opened, the CPU and operating system were still firmly in their hands. It's just that the right to produce other low-tech hardware and compatible machine assembly and production is licensed.
However, the released market and benefits still made many businessmen present excited.
The presence once again erupted in a lot of applause......
In this era, everyone has not yet realized the soul of the hardware and platform of the operating system. A free operating system, even if it doesn't earn a penny, is actually a huge hidden benefit. For example, when the Pangu operating system was upgraded successively, it added free Pangu browser, TT instant messaging software, and Pangu cloud mailbox (which can not only send emails, but also store some information) to customers...... Even, recently joined the Pangu Software Mall, no mandatory installation, however, the official software store will review the application software, and software that may have security problems is not allowed to be released in the Pangu Software Store, whether it is free or paid, it is not allowed.
In the next part, the game store is likely to be launched...... Of course, in order to look good, the game store is still hesitating for the time being.
The application software store can stand up to help users review the security of the software first, eliminate most of the problem software, and make users not disgusted.
However, the game store is too naked to say to users, I ...... Free operating system, but I have countless ways to earn your money.
It is precisely because of this that the software store may affect the user's sight, and the big killer has not yet been launched.
But as more and more Internet users become more and more rainy, this kind of profit-generating platform will be launched sooner or later.
Lin Qi boasted that the operating system was free, standing on the moral high ground, and there was an audience member below - Bill Gates was a little embarrassed, Nima's, although Microsoft does not make money entirely on the operating system, but I have to say that in the PC market, Microsoft's operating system has achieved a monopoly position, and 80% of PC users have installed Microsoft's system.
Due to the existence of the free Pangu operating system of the new venture electronics, Microsoft's operating system is also relatively cheap, according to different countries and regions, the price is between $1 ~ $50. The $1 market is ...... China, because the current market is basically using Pangu computers, not many users will use Microsoft's system. Therefore, despite Microsoft's vomiting of blood and dumping, genuine software is still sold at pirated prices, and no one cares.
However, Bill Gates soon calmed down, because he came this time mainly to seek cooperation, hoping to release Microsoft's Windows operating system on Pangu computers. Of course, most users of Pangu computers use the Pangu system, but if some users want to use the software on the PC, they may use the Microsoft system. If the Microsoft system is transplanted to the Pangu computer, although it cannot pose a threat to the Pangu system, for Microsoft, even a very small number of users have the need to install the Microsoft system, which is very worth fighting for.
