Chapter 1118: 18 months later
Lin Feng has already made up his mind that he will only implement the "Qianyuan" men's and women's software in Japan and South Korea. These two countries, but Lin Feng has always hated them. Needless to say, during World War II, the Japanese devils were like a plague cholera in China, and they did all kinds of crazy things, making the land of Kyushu cry about it. After the war, he did not admit those heinous acts in the past, but flatly denied them. Such a country, such a country, Lin Feng, as a Chinese, has nothing but contempt and disgust for him.
As for South Korea, although it was also a victim during World War II, after its defeat in World War II, with the support of the United States, it was bent on westernization and gradually became a minion of the United States, stirring up trouble all day long. One will be Baishan, one will be Confucius, and the other will be Chinese characters are also invented by them, and the ancestors invented "movable type printing" and so on, as if the whole of China can have today, all thanks to the Korean ancestors. Such a nation that has an extremely low self-esteem and boasts a little too much about itself is undoubtedly quite annoying.
What's more, the men's and women's versions of the "Qianyuan" software are only available in these two countries. After all, in Europe and the United States, the relationship between men and women is not as conservative as in the East, they are very open, and they attach great importance to personal freedom and privacy, such as surveillance, which is absolutely not acceptable. Therefore, the four commercials of "Qianyuan" can only be broadcast in Asia, and the men's and women's versions of the software can only be popular in Asia.
In Asia, South Korea and Japan are the places where men steal the most and have the worst hearts. Of course, Lin Feng must also admit that the Chinese people are not bad, but if this is really launched, it will definitely cause a lot of harm. No matter what, Lin Feng would not go to harm his own country.
"Boss, you first use a third-party company to launch a men's version of the software, and then let the company launch a women's version of the software, if this continues, I'm afraid that the men will hate our company so much" Tang Jun quipped.
Lin Feng smiled when he thought about it. Indeed, the launch of a "Thousand Yuan" was enough to give many men a headache, and finally a third-party software company came to help them solve this unspeakable pain, but Zuihou was destroyed by Lin Feng, this is not hated by others, but Lin Feng is not worried about this. Because, in this society, although women seem to be a relatively weak group, in fact, women's social status is gradually rising, especially in the family, women are extremely strong.
Of course, in Japan and South Korea, a patriarchal country, women are extremely vulnerable, but that's relative. When it comes to feelings, women are still extremely strong. They will do whatever it takes for their own aiqing.
Therefore, offend a man and offend it, most men are more open-minded, and it is definitely better to offend a man than to offend a woman. What's more, women's money is always easier to make, third-party software companies launch men's versions, and their own companies launch corresponding women's versions, offending men and gaining women's favor, Lin Feng feels that this business is very cost-effective.
Tang Jun also smiled.
After some discussion, the two decided on the strategy of transporting 10 million "Qianyuan" to the United States within a week, and at the same time, at the same time, in China, Japan, Southeast Asia and other countries began to comprehensively publicize "Qianyuan". If the sales volume is gratifying and the productivity is not enough, then notify Gou Taiming and let him increase productivity. With Foxconn behind it, productivity will never be a problem in the short term.
"Mr. Tang, then I'll leave everything to you, I'm going to South Africa recently, and the company will be handed over to you," Lin Feng got up and said.
"Hehe, boss, don't worry. Although the U.S. market is extremely evil, I believe that our 'Thousand Edges' will definitely be able to fight their way out. Tang Jun said with great confidence.
Within half a year, there is no comparable mobile phone in the industry, coupled with the ever-changing appearance of "Qianyuan", as well as the most fashionable color, as long as it is properly promoted, it will definitely not worry about sales. If this can't open up a sky in the United States, Tang Jun, the CEO, doesn't have to do it...,
As soon as he left the headquarters of "Phantom Technology", Lin Feng received a call from Abby Cohen.
"Lin, where are you, I have something to talk to you about," Abby Cohen's tone was extremely hurried.
"I'm in Dongguan, I'll go back to Shanghai immediately, and I'll contact you when I get to Shanghai," Lin Feng said in a deep voice.
Although Lin Feng's special plane "Wind Wings" has a satellite phone and can also make video calls, listening to Abby Cohen's hurried tone, it is obvious that there is something important to talk to him. In this case, it is better to have a face-to-face interview, and it is not easy to leak secrets. You know, on the Internet, there is nothing absolutely safe.
Two hours later, Lin Feng arrived in Shanghai and rushed directly to the headquarters of the "Second Shijie". When Lin Feng arrived at his office, Abby Cohen had been waiting there for a long time.
"Abby, what's the matter, so urgent?" After Lin Feng arrived, he asked Lin Chiling to bring himself and Abby Cohen a cup of coffee.
This day was busy, ran three cities, the plane sat for 7 hours, and it was bumpy everywhere, Rao is Lin Feng learned the "spitting skills" taught by Wang Meng, and he was tired enough, just drink a cup of coffee to refresh himself.
After a cup of coffee, Abby Cohen looked at Lin Feng after pondering for a long time.
"Lin, are you going to venture into the operating system space?" said Abby Cohen.
Lin Feng nodded.
Abby Cohen frowned.
"Lin, although I am a financial analyst, not a software engineer, or any kind of architecture engineer, I understand the position of 'Microsoft' in the United States, in the shijie IT community. Its strength is suffocating, whether it was 'Apple' or 'IBM', they were all in front of the strength of 'Microsoft', and had to move to other markets, you are a little early to challenge 'Microsoft'" Abby Cohen stared at Lin Feng motionlessly.
Lin Feng was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Abby Cohen to be so anxious to find himself to talk about this matter.
"Abby, haven't we discussed before, when the time is ripe, to enter the field of operating systems as a member of the IT industry, to challenge the power of 'Microsoft', is the dream of every IT person. I'm no exception, and I would like to see the end of the 'Microsoft' empire in my own hands," Lin Feng said with a smile.
"It's true that it's every IT person's dream, but now is not the time, it's too early, too early," Abby Cohen said, shaking her head.
It is true that Abby Cohen has discussed the operating system with Lin Feng, but it is far from now, you know, at present, the "second shijie" wants to continue to develop, in addition to developing more games in the game field that make players forget to sleep and eat, the hardware department is also its core.
After the merger of "AMD" and "ATI", "Second Shijie" has become the only company in the personal computer industry that is qualified to challenge "Intel", others such as Cyrix have long withdrawn from the market, and "IBM" has also abandoned the personal computer market and specializes in high-end laboratories and non-civilian CPUs in studios. It can be said that there are only two CPU manufacturing companies in the industry, "Second Shijie" and "Intel".
At the beginning, Lin Feng proposed to merge "AMD" and "ATI", which was also an extremely bold decision to see that "AMD" and "ATI" were in an absolute trough at that time. Originally, Lin Feng hoped to rely on the strength of hardware to expand the game market, and at the same time improve the speed of computer hardware upgrades as soon as possible. Because "Shijie Wars", which had already begun to be developed at that time, was too advanced to run without a computer with strong enough performance.
However, after the acquisition of "AMD" and "ATI", the pressure from the economic, social and other fields brought by it is beyond Lin Feng's imagination. "AMD" and "ATI" have become the "second shijie" must focus on the development of the project, even if the front is difficult, the "second shijie" must let "AMD" and "ATI" rise to the top, because this carries the hope of the entire personal computer industry, and "Intel" cannot be allowed to completely monopolize the personal computer market. …,
"Intel" is definitely a strong enemy, and if the "second shijie" hardware department wants to develop, it can't get around the supreme overlord of "Intel", and even unceremoniously said that the two companies are natural enemies. The "second shijie" who is pressed by a "Intel" itself is a little out of breath, and now Lin Feng wants to enter the field of operating systems, isn't that to provoke "Microsoft", a more terrifying enemy than "Intel".
When a company challenges the major giants in the industry, this pressure will crush the "second shijie". What's more, Lin Feng has just declared war with "Google", and now he wants to provoke "Microsoft", thinking that Lin Feng will face the three strong enemies of "Microsoft", "Intel" and "Google" in the future, Abby Cohen wants to faint. It's horrible, it's horrible
Abby Cohen looked at Lin Feng like a monster, she didn't understand, Lin Feng is by no means a fool, how could such a shrewd person do such a stupid thing? "Intel", that is a natural mortal enemy, it can't be resolved, then either you die or I die; as for "Google", Abby Cohen can also understand, after all, "Google" has already made a move, and Lin Feng must declare war on "Google" if he wants "Baidu Portal" to do something in the future.
However, "Microsoft" shouldn't be anything, and Lin Feng shouldn't mess with "Microsoft".
"Lin, you have to give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise I won't allow you to make such an unreasonable decision" Abby Cohen asked with a frown.
Lin Feng shrugged helplessly.
"Abby, in fact, I don't want to challenge 'Microsoft' now, who said that I want to challenge 'Microsoft' now, I'm just gathering momentum now," Lin Feng said.
"Gathering momentum?" Abby Cohen was stunned.
"Yes, if you want to challenge 'Microsoft', you need to be able to match it. The current 'second shijie', including myself, does not have such strength. Lin Feng said with a serious face.
Abby Cohen's brows furrowed, since this is the case, why should Lin Feng be like this. But Lin Feng should have a point, Abby Cohen held his breath and waited for Lin Feng to answer.
"Abby, 'Microsoft' used to be like a mountain in my heart, but with the rise of my career, gradually I also have the strength to compete with 'Microsoft'. Abby, you should know that as an IT person, I am no exception to the dream of ending the hegemony of the 'Microsoft' empire" Lin Feng looked yearning, "What's more, my 'second consortium' takes the 'second shijie' as the core and takes the IT route, which is different from other consortiums." In the IT world, there is a behemoth called 'Microsoft', and it is no exaggeration to say that everything we have to be limited by it."
Abby Cohen nodded. Indeed, as long as you are in the personal computer world, whether you are developing hardware, games, or software, you must be restricted by "Microsoft". The difference is only whether "Microsoft" is willing to limit you or not
"Therefore, by lifting the mountain of 'Microsoft', my 'second consortium' can usher in a wide range of skies," Lin Feng said.
"Lin, there's no need to be in such a hurry. We just need to wait for the Internet to be fully pervasive in all aspects of society, and then Microsoft's system will inevitably receive the impact of the absolute popularization of the Internet, and I am afraid that then 'Google' will be the first to conflict with 'Microsoft', and we can sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman," said Abby Cohen.
Lin Feng nodded. That's how it was conceived. But things will change, because of the battle between "Baidu Portal" and "Google", Lin Feng had to change his mind temporarily. If you want the development of "Baidu Portal", Lin Feng must face the strong enemy of "Google", and once the war with "Google" starts, "Microsoft" will sit behind and reap the benefits of the fisherman, which is by no means what Lin Feng wants to see.
Since this is the case, Lin Feng wants to bring "Microsoft" closer to this battlefield and prevent it from sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.
The more Abby Cohen listened, the more confused she became, not understanding what Lin Feng was thinking. Even if you want to pull "Microsoft" into the battlefield, you should not enter the field of operating systems now.
Don't say that Abby Cohen is confused, Lin Chiling, as Lin Feng's secretary, is by Lin Feng's side almost 24 hours a day, but she doesn't understand what Lin Feng wants to do.
"Hehe, Abby, it's very simple, let me ask you, even if this 'Linux Summit' is a complete success, how long do you think Li Nas will be able to design a simplified system comparable to XP (a simplified version that has removed those features that users have not used for 800 years)?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.
"Although 'Linux' is now extremely mature, it will take at least half a year to make it as simple and convenient for ordinary users as it is to use the XP system," Abby Cohen calmly analyzed.
"No, Abby, according to my estimates, it will take at least 18 months for our 'Linux' to become comparable to an operating system like XP (simplified version), so I started to lay out ahead of schedule," Lin Feng said.
Eighteen months? What will happen in 18 months?—Abby Cohen was in a trance. ()…… ,
