Chapter 424: The difficulty of OS, it is difficult to go to the blue sky
Yanjing, Zhongguan Village.
Reborn back,Chen Zier's Shengshi consumer electronics company can't really just get some mp3 players out,This thing is not particularly difficult,How many kinds of mp3 are there in the next few years?
And it doesn't have much life, it will explode for less than a decade, after which it will be gradually replaced by more and more powerful mobile phones, and become something that only music lovers can think of.
He once talked about his ambition on his first TV show: to do things that are not easy to do well.
Therefore, the future of Shengshi Electronics must be mobile smart phones.
This thing...... Hard.
It's so hard that he, a reborn, makes his scalp tingle just thinking about it.
But now that he has invested in a number of companies, Chen Zier, who has a huge amount of money, is no longer the Chen Zier who didn't dare to think or move in the face of huge difficulties before.
That day's words were not to pretend to be forced, he was a man who never pretended to be forced.
He really wanted to do what he said.
The information of the future also told him that more than 80 percent of the profits of the huge market of mobile smartphones were taken by the same company, Apple.
It forms a complete ecological closed loop.
And what Apple is really powerful about is not the hardware, not the industrial design, but its software.
Steve Jobs didn't even see the iPhone as a piece of hardware, it was just a piece of software.
It has a unique iOS system, and until the year when Chen Zier was reborn, the smoothness of Android on the other system was still not as good as iOS.
On this trip to Yanjing, the layman Chen Zier wanted to find the most professional person to tell him what was going on in this matter.
In the art center, Liang Shengjun and Chen Zier talked about everything that Shengshi Electronics can make public, and Boss Chen's ambition and dedication are attracting talents.
After that, he communicated with Liang Shengjun in private...... Ideas about the operating system.
Liang Shengjun was dumbfounded when he heard this, "Mr. Chen, this is the way to die." ”
Chen Zier was not particularly flustered, he said patiently: "Tell me in detail about everything related to this thing." ”
Liang Shengjun finally knew that when a person became rich at a young age, they were different from ordinary people, that is, they would go crazy.
"All I know is that this thing is not only a technical problem, but also a business problem. That's it, Mr. Chen. Rubbing his index finger twice, he said, "I know a computer scientist...... He is very enthusiastic about the localization of operating systems, and he should know more about software than me. ”
Chen Zier said: "Let me see." ”
Liang Shengjun glanced at his boss's eyes.
Firm, without a hint of loosening.
"Why don't I visit him personally, the academic bull has a strange temper. ”
"That's fine. ”
……
……
Chen Zier really said that he would find it.
But a day later, they appeared in the office of a research institute in Yanjing, and Chen Zier took time out of his busy schedule, but he had to spend this time.
"Mr. Chen, this person's surname is Sun, his name is Sun Yaguan, he should be regarded as an academician now, he returned to China a few years earlier than me, he was originally in the United States, I had his help in Silicon Valley, he worked at Microsoft at that time, and he can be said to be my nobleman. ”
Professor Sun should be fifty years old, with thick glasses and a little bit of buckteeth...... But appearance shouldn't be important to them anymore.
"I'm Chen Zier, excuse me, Academician Sun. ”
"You're welcome, you're welcome, Seung Kyun told me about you, and I've read your reports in the media, and what you're interested in also shows that you're ambitious and amazing. ”
Chen Zier smiled shallowly, and then said: "Ke Shengjun said that this is the way to die." ”
He went straight to the point, and some important people are also going to meet today, Ning Ya...... Also waiting for his time.
The old academician lit a cigarette, in fact, Chen Zier didn't like the smell of smoke very much, but now he directly ignored it.
He's right. ”
Liang Shengjun and Chen Zier sat side by side, facing him.
Chen Zier doesn't believe in this evil, isn't Android also up?
"Where do you usually die?" he asked in a deep voice.
The old professor said: "As long as you start at the beginning, you will die all the time." Shengjun said that you have never learned a computer, so I will give you a layman's talk about the operating system, in addition to its own technical requirements, the most difficult thing is actually commercial operation. ”
"To put it simply, in order to survive, there are two things, first, an excellent kernel, and second, an adapted software application. ”
The professor pressed his middle finger, leaving only his index finger, "Let's talk about the first point first, it is not difficult to develop an operating system or computer core, it is not sacred, there are many companies in the world that have launched OSs that can be used, Palm has its own PalmOS, Bell Labs has also launched its own Inferon operating system, BE company, which was abandoned by Apple, also has its own beOS, and NEXTSTEP, which Apple finally chose, actually has its own operating system. ”
"So it's not hard to do. But this is not to say that this first point is simple, it actually hides a difficult point, that is, the word 'excellent'. ”
He smiled cheerfully, "Are you confident that you can make a better operating system than Indos?"
This is related to the second point, if it is not excellent, how can it be promoted? If you want to be excellent, it will be a very difficult task, you need to invest astronomical money and time, the project is huge, because you need to develop a set of mathematical branches that support writing programming languages, can be compatible with a variety of devices and can automatically identify bugs, to ensure that it is safe and efficient, and must also be able to reasonably allocate computing power, adjust the computing power when there is an emergency, and after the development is completed, you have to test and constantly upgrade and modify the error ......"
Chen Zier's eyebrows slowly sank when he listened, so exaggerated...... He remembered that this man had just said, 'It's more difficult to run a business,' but it was already difficult.
"And if you're not good enough to provide users with a new and unique system that is affordable and easy to use, who will change their habits in order to support you? Linux and its ancillary systems have not attracted many users so far, which shows how difficult it is to be 'excellent'. ”
"And the second one is more difficult, commercial operations, in your words, how many sales. Sun Yaguan took a puff of cigarette and narrowed his eyes and said: "Why are most operating systems all dead, and INDOS doesn't even have a strong opponent? Microsoft's technology is really so strong that it monopolizes the whole world? In fact, the fundamental reason is that this is not a market that can be first-come, first-served, but first-come, first-served, and one is dominant, which is a characteristic brought from the mother's womb." ”
"The lifeblood of the operating system lies in the software ecosystem, but how can you, as a latecomer, convince so many software service providers in the world to consider your compatibility at your own cost when you have a small installed base? ”
Chen Zier thought about it and said, "So this becomes a question of chicken and egg......"
Isn't this a hell of a dead loop......
