Chapter 394: Changing Concepts
readx; Of course, the meeting place can only be chosen in Tsui Kejia's single-family house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
This house has a total of three floors, the first floor is separated by several rooms, from the only room with an open door, this should be Xu Kejia and his group of students to complete their own research and development work separately, generally relatively tidy, the room is no different from the office of most technology nerds, huge desk and wide chairs, the table is unchanged is a computer workstation. There are still some network cables dragging on the ground, but overall it is relatively normal.
On the second floor, I heard Deng Liang say that it was where Xu Kejia lived, the old man's wife passed away a few years ago, and he only had one son, who went abroad after graduating from the undergraduate examination, and studied polymer physics in the United States, obviously not planning to inherit his father's mantle.
On the third floor, there is a large room, and the room is full of various electronic devices. Routers, switches, servers, all available, there is no doubt on the ground that they are entangled and can't distinguish which one to which one, network cables, wires, and even a small number of optical cables, all of which are used for testing. What made Shi Lei collapse the most was that in the large chase room on the third floor, there was actually a small wireless signal transmitter and receiver device, but I didn't know the power, and if it was really hard to drive, it would have an impact on the surrounding mobile phone signals. And this room obviously does not have the ability to shield signals, and I really don't know how Xu Kejia got the telecommunications department, is there no one to interfere with his use of this wireless transmitter and receiver device?
The meeting with Xu Kejia was in this chase room, when Shi Lei and the others came in, Xu Kejia, whose hair was already slightly gray, was lying in front of the computer, his fingers were tapping quickly on the keyboard, Shi Lei took a slight look, and knew that it was a set of data models, which were used to simulate the data exchange and calculation of the system.
Deng Liang shouted "Professor", but Xu Kejia turned a deaf ear and was still obsessed with his digital model establishment.
After a long time, Xu Kejia stopped typing on the keyboard, turned off the monitor casually, and turned his face to look at Shi Lei, Duan Qinglai, Hou Hengzhi and Xu Le.
"You are Shi Lei?" Probably Deng Liang had already told the old man about Shi Lei's age and other basic information, and Xu Kejia could see the youngest Shi Lei at a glance, and it was not strange to recognize him.
"Hello Professor Xu, I'm Shi Lei."
"It's not bad, it's more pleasing to the eye than Dai Xiaochuan's kid, and he doesn't have the naked businessman's breath on him. Find your own place to sit! β
Xu Kejia said that he asked Shi Lei and them to find a place to sit, but in his laboratory, where can they sit?
"Professor Xu also knows our intentions, before we officially start talking about business, I want to see how far Professor Xu's current technology can improve the surname of the touch screen. Or, Professor Xu can show us what makes your system more advanced than others. β
Hearing Shi Lei's actually very reasonable request, if you want to cooperate with others, you always have to come up with the capital for cooperation, right? But Xu Kejia was very dissatisfied all of a sudden, shaking his head angrily, and the long gray hair on his head flew up and down, showing his extreme excitement in his heart.
"If you want to talk to me, you should trust my technical skills. What do you mean now? Don't believe me? If you don't believe me, what are you doing here? Be all abroad! When Dai Xiaochuan encouraged you to come to me, didn't he tell you what the difference between my system and other people's systems was? β
In the face of Xu Kejia's unreasonable anger, Shi Lei was also very helpless, even if he didn't have any hope for Xu Kejia's attitude, he couldn't imagine that this old man was so paranoid.
"I don't question what you mean, it's just that as a potential investor, I always need to know how far you and your technical team are developing technology in this area, right? Professor Xu, frankly, if you don't even do this very simple demonstration, I really can't think of anyone who would want to invest in you to continue your R&D. I did learn about your technical achievements from Dai Xiaochuan, but Dai Xiaochuan never got the opportunity to meet you, and if he saw you, he would definitely make the same request. Mr. Deng, I think you should persuade Professor Xu, he wants the money in the hands of us businessmen, but he doesn't want to give us a chance to have a fair dialogue, I think, this is not a negotiation attitude. β
Deng Liang also seemed a little embarrassed, Xu Kejia's temper was really weird, but he really didn't dare to persuade more, and if he didn't persuade well, it would cause Xu Kejia to directly sweep Shi Lei and others out of the house, and I am afraid that the meeting opportunity that I finally got this time would be wasted.
Here Deng Liang was in a dilemma, and he didn't know how to persuade Xu Kejia, but Xu Kejia suddenly became angry, as if the person who was angry just now was not him, pointed to Shi Lei and others and asked, "Which of you is Hou Hengzhi?" β
Hou Hengzhi glanced at Shi Lei and said, "Professor Xu, I am Hou Hengzhi. β
"I've heard about your patents, and I've also applied for access to your patent application materials, well, yes, your Blue Flag technical strength is good in this regard, and there has been a breakthrough. Grasp well, in terms of integrated circuit design, there are still many breakthroughs that can be made. Xu Kejia talked to himself, which made Shi Lei a little inexplicable, and after Xu Kejia finished saying this, he turned his face and yelled at Deng Liang and a few other of his students: "Why are you still stunned?" Hurry up and debug the experimental environment, do you want me to lay out the entire experimental environment by myself? β
Although Deng Liang was yelled, he had a relaxed smile on his face, and he knew that Xu Kejia had finally made a certain compromise.
Several people are quickly busy, which is just the recall of some programs, but they are scattered on different workstations and servers, and several people need to work at the same time.
Soon, Xu Kejia came with a touch screen connected to a data cable. Shi Lei, who is not unfamiliar with touch screens, is certainly not comparable to anyone in the Chase room in terms of technology, but it can still be easily seen that this is a resistive touch screen, because Xu Kejia used a touch pen that was not good-looking. The capacitive touch screen can only be touched with skin-like contact, and it is not possible to effectively touch and write unless a special material touch pen is used.
Moreover, capacitive touch screens have considerable weaknesses, and the accuracy and drift that are easy to occur when the human body is close to each other are not problems that can be easily solved by technology around 2000. In fact, in the history of the development of touchscreen mobile phones and computers, the first to apply capacitive touch screens to mobile phones is Apple, which Shi Lei wants to imitate and surpass. The iPhone was the first mobile phone to apply a capacitive touch screen.
However, the focus here is not on the touch screen, these hardware technical solutions, more need to be done by McGool Communications, Shi Lei's concern is that Xu Kejia's current open operating system is mainly for the touch screen Linux kernel, in terms of interface and application, whether it has any advantages, whether it can replace those operating systems on the current market. Of course, the more important thing is whether the system is suitable for use on mobile phones.
I have to say that it is no wonder that Dai Xiaochuan attaches great importance to Tsui Kejia's system, indeed, Tsui Kejia has a considerable say in this regard. The system he designed, to a certain extent, is close to the prototype of the Android system in Shi Lei's mind. Of course, the gap is still very large, including the huge difference in the interface, but at least in the loading and unloading of programs, as well as ordinary program applications, there is already a trend that surpasses the current touch system. Shi Lei's biggest concern before was that Xu Kejia's design ideas were limited by the current direction of touch screen applications, and if the developed system did not have the writing and erasing functions of the program, or like the working system designed by Microsoft for PDA and the earliest batch of mobile phones using touch screens, using Java technology with many inconveniences to achieve the function of writing and erasing, it really does not have any investment value.
Fortunately,The old man in this regard,The thinking concept is very close to the future of ideas,The design of this system,As close as possible to the use of computer idiots,All interfaces are graphical,The background does not appear at all,Ordinary users can not freely access the background program files,is also extremely simpleγ Although there is still a big gap between Shi Lei and the perfect farming system in his mind, Shi Lei is already quite satisfied. Continuing to develop along this line, Shi Lei believes that he will be able to develop a more suitable system for smartphone applications before Apple and Google.
However, Hou Hengzhi put forward a different view on this.
"Professor Xu, it seems that your system can't freely access the underlying files? This requires a special software to be written to crack the background in order to enter the background to access the file? β
Xu Kejia seemed to glare at Hou Hengzhi very unhappily: "Do you think those who just use the computer to type, chat, listen to songs, and watch movies will need to access any documents?" They just need to know how to load a program onto their desktop and use it. The background documents are for us technicians to see. Windows is a mess at this point, so why should it give access to low-level files to everyone who uses a computer? In this world, more than ninety percent of computer users will never open the C drive to see, for them, they only need to know where their programs are loaded, so that they can click to access. Even partitioning the hard drive is unnecessary, and there are many solutions to prevent collisions between systems and software programs. No matter what the files and programs are, just put them on the desktop, if I design a system that needs to open layers of folders to find the files and programs you need, then Windows is enough, Microsoft has done a good enough job in this regard, what else do you want me to do? What is the ultimate problem that the touchscreen app solves? The most intuitive experience, you have to remember that the touchscreen is an input peripheral, which is to replace the keyboard and mouse, and it needs to be as simple as possible. The way in which the background program runs is left to us technicians, and ordinary users will not need these things for a lifetime. β
Hou Hengzhi is still digesting Xu Kejia's design concept, but Shi Lei is applauding with a smile on his face!
"What are you clapping? It's like you know! Xu Kejia seems to have some prejudices against Shi Lei, or he has prejudices against all businessmen, seeing Shi Lei applauding, he didn't have the slightest consciousness of being patted on the back, but widened his eyes and scolded Shi Lei.
Shi Lei didn't think it was wrong, and smiled: "I don't dare to say that I understand everything, but at least I think Professor Xu's design ideas are very exciting." I also think that touchscreen systems should be designed to be simple and straightforward enough, and intuitiveness is the future of touchscreen technology. All technical problems should be solved by technicians in the background of the system, and should not be handed over to the users in the front desk. They just need to click with their fingers, call it, and as for how the program runs, it's the same way we don't need them to understand why the computer world is only closed and open. Frankly speaking, the reason why I wanted Professor Xu to demonstrate your operation system is to see Professor Xu's design ideas. Now I was so happy that I couldn't help but applaud. β
Shi Lei's words, Xu Kejia is quite useful, and Shi Lei's face is much better when he looks at it.
However, when the two sides finally sat down and began to discuss the rights and responsibilities of both sides, Tsui Kejia's paranoid fault was fully revealed.
"Don't you talk to me about derivative technologies, what stage surname technology, how can there be so many stage surname technologies for you to develop? Moreover, once you have this article, you can completely treat all my R&D results as stage technology, and no R&D does not need to go through different stages. Again, I need follow-up funding for R&D, but that doesn't mean I can't survive without your funding. When I think my technology is mature enough to be marketed, I can even give you the right to use it for free. You just need to give an explanation to my students who are engaged in research and development with me, as for me, an old man, who is about to die, I don't have any material requirements. However, if you want what stage of the surname technology, everything is not to be discussed! That's the negotiating tactic of you businessmen. I'm an old man, I don't know much about these things, and I don't need to understand them, I just need to understand that I won't hand over immature technology to you and put it on the market to make those ordinary people's hard-earned money! Do you think I don't know? You businessmen, in your bones, want the technology not to be mature, and even you have mature technology for a long time, but you deliberately put the imperfect version on the market, and then pretend to carry out in-depth development, step by step to add functions, you will not take out the complete technology without making enough money. So, if you want my skills, don't play this game with me anymore. β
The negotiations have reached an impasse, and as Shi Lei, Deng Liang and others predicted, the biggest obstacle to the negotiations is the old man's stubbornness in perfecting the technology and his supposed responsible attitude towards those consumers.
In fact, whether it is the IT industry or other industries, as long as there is technological innovation, this is often the case. A company spends a lot of money and energy on research and development, and after getting the results, it usually does not put the complete technology on the market at one time, and always improves it in batches in a planned manner. However, this is not the case for all enterprises, any technology has its timeliness, and with the increase in demand and different markets, technology is always facing upgrading. And many companies are taking advantage of the upgrading of technology to be able to gradually put imperfect technology on the market. This is true not only in terms of technology, but also in terms of hardware configuration. In order to update and upgrade the product, consumers will also be used to abandon the old product and buy a new product. As Shi Lei knew, when Apple released the world's first civilian tablet ipad, the first generation of products had no camera, and the hardware configuration was relatively backward, at least far behind the technical level at that time. A year later, the second generation of the product was launched, and the camera used was less than one million pixels, and at that time, the more popular specifications of the cameras used in mobile phones were already 8 million. This is a typical control technology launch, with limited technical capabilities, to achieve more profits, forcing many people to buy their products repeatedly. As a result, although Shi Lei was facing an impasse in the negotiations, he had to admit that this old man was really socially responsible.
"Professor Xu, what stage do you call the perfect technique? The IT industry is evolving much faster than we think, and I don't dare to say that you can't design a complete enough system before other companies or technical teams, but even if you do, let's say your system is the most advanced system in the world, but don't forget, Linux is an open system, anyone can add branches and leaves to your system, and even naked plagiarism and then make some changes to the shell can make you dog bite the hedgehog and make them have no idea. So, how long can you maintain your so-called perfection? A year? Or half a year? Or three months or less? The upgrade of software and hardware, the operating system must also be constantly upgraded, as long as there is a need to upgrade, it seems that it will never be able to achieve the so-called perfection in your mouth. β
"You don't change concepts with me, I'm talking about functional improvement, as for upgrades and new system requirements, that's a matter of follow-up research and development. If I give you the right to take the so-called stage surname technology, you can ask me to take this system at any time, which I absolutely cannot allow! The old man was furious, and seemed to be extremely disdainful of Shi Lei's method of secretly changing concepts, and slapped the table and roared
