MP3 can not be done in a few years will be eliminated, the next is completely the world of smart phones, if you don't take the opportunity to make a mobile phone operating system, it is really a waste of heaven and earth prophets, but the so-called most bullish BAT in China has not made a mobile phone operating system, you can imagine the difficulty.

Could it be that there is a shortage of programming talents in China? Then Ah Sanke is full of code farmers, why can't they make operating systems? The major operating systems that are popular in the world, such as Windows, ios, andriod, are almost all from the United States.

Why?

Liu Chen once thought deeply about this question, it is definitely not a problem of talent, so what is it?

Wang Cong immediately patted his chest and said: "Yes, senior, I don't dare to say anything else, thousands of lines of code are still written casually, and I started playing the operating system in junior high school." ”

Liu Chen had to sigh that these well-born students have great vision and contact, and he can program, but he is not too good at it, and when developing products later, this is indeed a big weakness.

And he doesn't have much contact with other people, and he can't find anyone to help, so he doesn't impress him very much by giving away a computer, but this guy is a programming genius that makes him excited.

Wang Cong said that it was the first talent he needed to look for, so he had the heart to take the school examination and asked: "It seems that you are familiar with programming and operating systems, do I think we need to operate independently?"

"Yes, absolutely yes!" Speaking of the system, Wang Cong's eyes lit up and opened the conversation, "In the IT industry, the operating system can be described as the jewel in the crown, it controls the connection between the hardware and the application software, and also controls all the behaviors of the device. ”

Liu Chen thought thoughtfully, after competition for survival of the fittest, the mobile phone operating systems that seemed to survive in the end were iOS and Android, and iOS is for Apple's hardware mobile phone services, and Android is completely free, most of them are open source, and any mobile phone manufacturer can use them. At first glance, it seems that the operating system is inconsequential, and Google has foolishly invested a lot of time and money in research and development.

And then, is that really the case?

Liu Chen thought so, but after an investigation, he found that this was not the case at all.

Wang Cong has such insight. It really surprised Liu Chen, and encouraged: "Then you can talk about it." ”

"This is a field of world-class enterprises, as the saying goes: those who win the operating system win the world, and Microsoft has become the world's most valuable technology company by relying on its monopoly on the PC operating system. With the operating system, this dragon slaying knife. can be invincible. ”

"Uh-huh, go on. ”

"IBM quickly realized that something was wrong when it handed over the PC operating system to Microsoft, and it had spent a lot of money to develop OS/2 in an unsuccessful attempt to win back the game, and since then it has lost its dominance in the PC industry forever. ”

A few years later, Nokia and RIM fell behind in the fierce competition in the mobile phone industry, largely because their original mobile operating system lost out to iOS and Android.

Thinking of this, Liu Chen nodded.

Tang Xiao grabbed his arm, and Wang Cong couldn't control the excitement of talking, his face turned rosy, and he shouted, "There is no operating system." We can't produce a truly world-class enterprise in Huaxia. Hardware, application software, and Internet services can indeed make a company with a market value of 20 billion US dollars, but it will definitely not produce a company with a market value of more than 100 billion or even 200 billion US dollars. ”

"Since it is absolutely necessary, why can't we in Huaxia do it? Have you thought about this problem?" asked Liu Chen.

Wang Cong scratched his head, "This...... This one...... I didn't think about it. ”

Tang Xiao saw that Liu Chen was indeed interested in this, and in order to please him, he also spoke enthusiastically, saying: "We lack basic R&D strength. The United States has formed a complete basic R&D industry chain [government-university-enterprise], and the government has set the general direction. Universities do basic research, and enterprises industrialize it. However, our government directly directs universities and enterprises to do industrialization, but does not study the general direction of the future. The whole society is in extreme impetuousness and short-sightedness, and as a result, a lot of money has been spent on a lot of wrong basic research and development. The opportunity to catch up was lost. ”

"Oh, you also have such a deep understanding?"

Liu Chen was really shocked, and he could see that the family conditions of these two were very good, and their vision was much higher than that of ordinary people.

Tang Xiao's face turned red and said, "I'...... I also read some books on the development of education and science and technology in the United States, and summarized it in terms of the investment and treatment of R&D personnel. It is true that the environment in the United States is much better than that at home, which is why my parents want us to study abroad. ”

Talents like this will have to go abroad in the future, no wonder Huaxia can't make an operating system, Liu Chen didn't feel a pain in his heart, his face was indifferent, and he said: "You said it very well, continue to analyze." ”

"Like the color TV industry,When others are developing LCD,We are complacent about being the boss of CRT,After people made LCD, we hurried to chase,People started to engage in LED again,Never catch up,Always passive。 ”

"Back to the operating system, since we have no achievements and no accumulation in the operating system before, how can we make a competitive operating system out of thin air? You know, Microsoft, Apple, and Google have accumulated many years in the PC operating system. If the predecessors don't plant trees, the descendants want to enjoy the shade, how can there be so many good things in the world?"

Liu Chen's heart tightened, it seemed that developing an operating system was much more difficult than he thought, even if he had a foresight, it was really unknown whether he could make it or not, and he couldn't help but be a little dazed.

Wang Cong also said: "Tang Xiao just said one thing, and there is a very important point, we lack high-end technical talents. There are often programmers in our country, but the real masters cannot be found. The operating system requires a long period of investment, and the effect is too slow, so domestic companies are generally unwilling to spend effort to do such thankless work. ”

"This also creates a bad atmosphere for programmers, who are generally reluctant to delve into basic software, but choose applications that can get ahead and get rich faster. In today's Internet industry, everyone talks about product managers, but no one talks about software architects, but in fact, in the United States, software architects are very high-end and popular positions, and my ideal is to be a software architect in the United States. ”

Going to the United States again, Liu Chen's heart aches, these talents are all going to the United States, why? Isn't it that there is no need for software architects in China, and if there is no corresponding high salary, who will still delve into system architecture? Wouldn't it be easier to develop eMule, Thunderbolt, and QQ based on Windows? As long as the number of users grows wildly, won't they make a lot of money if they are invested and listed?

Dry up and fish!
