Chapter 906 - Don't Fall into the Pit of the Operating System
Liu Chen's words shocked Zhou Hongyi.
Released for PC with the Dragon Blaster system!
Whether it is Microsoft, Apple, or Google, they are all transforming from a PC system to a mobile terminal system, and the reverse is possible? After all, the PC system is much larger than the mobile terminal system.
Whether or not Huaxia can develop a PC system has always been a matter of great controversy.
Over the years, Huaxia has made certain achievements in the field of operating systems, and has also developed some domestic operating systems, but the current installed capacity of domestic operating systems is still very small, which has caused the corresponding application development: there is no chicken to lay eggs, there is no egg to lay the chicken.
Without an application, no one wants to use a domestic operating system, and if no one uses an operating system, no one wants to develop an application. Therefore, the situation of domestic operating systems is still very embarrassing.
Why can't Huaxia make a decent operating system? In short, no company is willing to put real effort into the research and development of the operating system, it costs too much money, there is no profit, the operating system cannot generate revenue at all, and the rate of return is very low and very low.
In addition, the biggest problem in China is that it is independent and has a poor sense of cooperation.
There are more than 10 terminal operating systems in Huaxia, which must be too much, so there will be too much internal friction, and the result is that it is difficult to succeed. The terminal operating system cannot be released, and the dispersion of resources is very fatal.
Liu Chen said: "The biggest problem of Huaxia's scientific and technological personnel is that they would rather be chicken heads than phoenix tails; the three monks have no water to drink, that is, the team spirit is poor, and in the information field, this shortcoming also exists. Of course, Huaxia has very good individuals, which are not worse than any other country, as long as they make use of their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and give full play to Huaxia's talent advantages, it is not difficult to get an operating system. ”
Zhou Hongyi still felt that it was unnecessary, this was probably a stupid trick.
"Microsoft has an absolute monopoly, Apple's operating system is obviously better than Microsoft, but because it is not open source, the application software is missing, the good money is expelled by the bad money, and finally Microsoft becomes the hegemon. ”
Zhou Hongyi kindly reminded that it doesn't matter if the search engine competition fails, the operating system is a big hole, and there is no rate of return at all.
"With domestic strength, if you want to come up with an operating system, you can definitely come out, this problem is not that no programmer can write the problem, but from the most fundamental problem thankless. ”
"It is true that it is difficult to develop a new operating system when the Microsoft ecosystem has formed a monopoly. Liu Chen smiled easily, "But we have a wise government, and we in Huaxia are not satisfied with being a cyber power, our goal is to be a cyber power." In addition, we have security needs, some industries are very willing to do their own special systems, I have long communicated with the government information security department, joint development of the system, promotion has a great advantage, as long as our system can be compatible with the current application, can be developed. ”
Zhou Hongyi saw that he couldn't convince Liu Chen, he was very anxious, he was very grateful and respected Liu Chen, and he really didn't want Liu Chen to fall into the pit too blindly.
After Liu Chen left, Zhou Hongyi thought about it for a long time, asked the assistant to collect and analyze a bunch of data as quickly as possible, and then sent an email to Liu Chen, hoping that he could measure it again and dispel the idea of entering the PC operating system.
The operating system is a relatively difficult program to write, and it does not mean that no one can write it, but there are few companies in the world that can develop a complete set of operating systems. The reason why we don't go to R&D, simply put, is that there are several reasons, one is that the cost is too high, writing a complete set of operating systems is time-consuming and laborious, it takes three or five years, more than ten years to develop a set of operating systems, and when it comes out, there may not be better results.
Moreover, the new company has no history and experience accumulation, and it is easy to make detours in this, so the return brought by the investment of a large amount of capital in the early stage of so many years is still uncertain, and no company will be stupid enough to do this.
After more than ten years of investment, it is not necessarily possible to make money, not to mention the values of domestic companies and programmers, and no one will do it abroad. After all, no one is a fool, the company needs to make a profit, and no matter how rich you are, you won't just take out the money and burn it to play!
The second reason is that there is no good ecological chain.
Whether it is a mobile phone operating system or a PC operating system, it needs to be used by users, then it needs a complete ecological environment, when a new operating system is developed, if it is said that it can be used by other operating systems for ten streets, then there will be users to use it, the key is that there are a few new companies that can pat their chests and say that the system I developed can kill Microsoft? If a system like indos 98 is developed, it is behind indos Vista for a long time, and it is indos Vista seconds don't know east, west, north and south, so who will use your operating system?
If you make a similar system, the most important thing is the software, who will use this new system without software? Then first of all, the popularity of the system is low, there are few users, and there are few users, who will go to this new system to develop software, and what is the system without the support of various software? Then it will make fewer users, and under this kind of dead loop, even if you take the emotional route, you still have to die. Walking in front, the systems that died for this reason, and the ones that are still struggling, have given the company that wants to make an operating system a reminder of blood.
The third reason is that it is useless.
It is not that the development of a new system is not necessary, the development of a new system is very necessary, but because of the above reasons, even if it is developed, it is very difficult to get the recognition of the market. Even if Microsoft has been working on the system for so many years, isn't it still struggling? There is no need or reason to develop a new operating system.
After Liu Chen saw it, he laughed it off, it was too late, the reverse development of the Longba system for PC had already been implemented, what would be the effect? Of course, it should be equipped with a hardware computer.
Good relationship with Apple, iPhone dominates the US market, Longba completely occupies the Chinese market, and the European market is divided, and a tacit understanding has long been formed, this time, Liu Chen wants to challenge the Microsoft system, Jobs is the first to support, the Apple system loses to Microsoft, Jobs has been angry about this, but Microsoft has become a big force, and Apple has no way.
In the Chinese market, Apple is willing to install the PC version of the Longba system on the Mac.
Lenovo, the largest PC manufacturer in China, has already formed a tacit understanding with Liu Chen, Lenovo's factory computer will no longer be pre-installed with the system, but will give the customer a Longba system CD, and the user chooses whether to install it or not, which is not a violation of the agreement with Microsoft.
Even so, it was not enough.
In fact, GB series products have cultivated a large number of loyal high-end fans, and the call to launch a computer is actually very high, so the research and development and optimization of the computer has long been carried out, and it is destined to be another cross-era explosive product.
January 1, 2008, New Year's Day.
2008 was an extraordinary year for the whole of China.
The GB department is going to hold another press conference.
The bosses of many companies trembled in their hearts, and they didn't know who was going to be unlucky again.
In fact, since 2003, the GB series only needs to hold a press conference, will kill a competitor, and in 2005, it was through three popular product launches to help the e-commerce to defeat the joint strangulation of Alibao and Jiangdong e-commerce, creating a myth.
Damn, it is strictly confidential before each press conference, so that everyone doesn't know what to say, and they all watch nervously with wide eyes, lest it affect their own industry.
Li Yinhong was very nervous, he pretended to be relaxed and said: "Our share on the PC side is as stable as Mount Tai, and Liu Chen has nothing to do, pushing a garbage 360 out, it's just a joke." ”
"Yes, yes, Mr. Li is right. ”
"That kid is also poor in donkey skills. ”
"I don't think there's anything to see about this press conference. ”
The executives flattered, Li Yinhong felt a little relieved, and still instructed the assistant to debug the live webcast, and he wanted to watch the whole process.
