Chapter 242: Untitled
ps:The code word is really unreliable during the day.,It's not reliable at night.,Sad.,Fall asleep on the computer desk with the code.,Can't find time during the day.,It seems that you owe it to everyone again.。 Cats have been picking up the pace a bit lately, and the minutiae are a little bit more relaxed. It's a little bit of a cardin, but don't worry too much, the outline of the cat is quite perfect, but there is a little problem with the connection, and it can be dealt with quickly.
It's just May, but Liu Xun can't wait to go to the United States, you know, at this moment, there are only three years and a few months left before Microsoft develops windows95, to develop the operating system in such a short period of time, and then cooperate with others to organize internal testing, and reach agreements with computer manufacturers, etc., this is a long process, it takes a lot of time to operate, even if there is source code in his head, Liu Xun does not dare to slack off.
The key now is to develop this operating system before Microsoft develops Windows 95, and it is no secret that time is of the essence. Liu Xun clearly knows that if his company and Microsoft develop an operating system at the same time, or a little later than Microsoft, what awaits him is that he is afraid that there will be no leftovers, and with the relationship between Microsoft and other computer manufacturers, there will definitely be no room for his own survival. So, it has to be faster than Microsoft, at least a few months sooner, to get a head start.
was anxious, so the day after thinking about it, Liu Xun didn't dare to slack off and booked a ticket from Jinjiang to New York.
On the way to Taoxian Airport, passing by the Meteorite Mountain Scenic Area in Jinjiang City, and seeing the deserted appearance outside the scenic area, Liu Xun was still a little puzzled at first, isn't it a good time to travel now, why is it so deserted here? He can remember that this meteorite scenic spot is very famous in northern Liaoning and even the whole country, and he also came to see Shen called the world's largest ancient meteorite when he was in college, which is said to weigh 2 million tons, formed 4.5 billion years ago, and fell 1.9 billion years ago, which can be called a heaven-sent treasure and is unparalleled in the world.
However, it took a while for Liu Xun to react, it was only 1992, and there was no so-called May Day Golden Week a few years later, and everyone was still working hard.
sighed slightly, the students of No. 1 Middle School are probably still studying obediently in the ivory tower, maybe the next few days in a few years will become one of the few paradises during their study, but at this time, hehe, Liu Xun hopes that the national personnel in charge of related work can quickly launch the concept of Golden Week. At least, it still plays a big role in promoting the growth of the country's GDP, thinking about it, and shaking his head, what are you thinking about these things, but think about it, since this semester, have you ever been to school? Liu Xun was a little puzzled in his heart, anyway, he was probably the least student-like student in the first class.
But presumably, whether it is them or the teachers and students at school, they probably never thought that the person who often skips school and participates in fights and brawls will be such a demon who is worth more than four billion, of course, they would never have thought that the computer Windows operating system they use a few years later would be developed by Liu Xun.
On the plane, Liu Xun sat quietly in the business class to study some computer information, this trip, it is to go to Silicon Valley to set up a company and recruit people, he was also a little master of computers in his previous life, but after all, he has been out of this era for too long, the concept and technology are too advanced, and he does not understand the current situation of this era at all, so he naturally needs to be recharged.
Holding two thick stacks of materials in his hand and putting them next to him, one of them has been seen in the past few days, but most of them have not been read, and the notebook in his hand is also writing and drawing from time to time. As for Zheng Qiang, this kid now has one more task, that is, to help Liu Xun hold the information. He didn't know what Liu Xun's nerves were, and suddenly he was looking for so much information, and he was anxious to go to the United States. However, he has long been accustomed to Liu Xun's behavior, back then, whether it was to the Bajiaokou stock market, to the Shanghai stock market, or to Deshun Country Garden, Liu Xun was not like this? Zheng Qiang knows that whenever Liu Xun looks like this, it is an opportunity to make a fortune. He wasn't sure of anything else, but Zheng Qiang was quite sure of this. I think that at the beginning, even for the American land certificate, Liu Xun didn't work so hard.
But Zheng Qiang naturally didn't know that Liu Xun was regretting it now.
What makes this kid regret is that in another time and space, why didn't he go to pirate software? I remember that at the beginning of the 00s, a friend invited him to go to a studio specializing in pirated software, but Liu Xun rejected it, but now he regrets it a little.
You know, a few years later, with the increase of domestic computer users, piracy is rampant, whether it is Microsoft's Windows operating system or general software including Office, it will be cracked by hackers and decompiled within a short period of time after the release, and a pirated operating system will be developed.
Generally speaking, after the release of the genuine system, within a short period of time, the domestic pirated system will be flooded with discs. Of course, this is mainly the situation in China, where intellectual property rights are tightly protected and there is almost no soil for piracy to survive, but it is different in China, and it is simply a paradise for pirates. According to Liu Xun's knowledge, a few years later, with the hot sales of VCDs and personal computers in the domestic market, the soil of piracy is becoming more and more prosperous, or in a few years, the annual gray income of this industrial chain in China will reach tens of billions of yuan.
Of course, this is mainly due to the domestic environment, the protection of intellectual property rights is not strict, genuine operating systems cost hundreds or even thousands of yuan, and pirated only need five or ten yuan, everyone is naturally more willing to choose piracy. Fortunately, computer manufacturers are limited, and their shipments must purchase the same number of operating systems, otherwise they are not allowed to sell. Therefore, most of the computers are generally genuine systems when they are newly purchased, and as for re-installation, few people in China are willing to use genuine ones.
In fact, the cost of operating systems accounts for at least one-sixth or more of the cost in the sale of complete machines, although most of the new machines are the cheapest versions.
As for Liu Xun's regret, if he had participated in this industry and participated in his friend's studio in his previous life, then he would not have to worry about the development of the operating system.
You know, more than ten years later, there are several well-known piracy studios in China, not to mention windows95 and windows2000, hey, even Microsoft's windows7, which was released in 09, can also be done in a very short time. It has to be said that the Chinese people do have an unparalleled talent in this area, and although they lack the ability to innovate, their ability to crack and pirate is world-famous.
Of course, even if you regret it now, it's useless, and it's impossible to return to another time and space. But now there are three years, plus the things in his head, it is probably enough, he regrets it, why didn't he think about it when he was just reborn, otherwise, at least he could have fought for more than half a year. However, Liu Xun then thought again, even if he thought about it at that time, it was probably useless, and he didn't have the financial and technical strength to participate in this game at that time.
Thinking about it, Liu Xun smiled bitterly again, originally offered to give Zhou Peiwan 200 million US dollars of support a few days ago, but now I have to say sorry, Zhou Peiwan's side can only be reduced to 100 million US dollars first, as for whether the follow-up can continue to support, it depends on the situation.
Liu Xun naturally knows how expensive the research and development of the operating system is, the research and development of the operating system, including drivers, kernels, interface libraries, peripheral parts, etc., if it is developed from scratch, hundreds of millions of dollars are not even enough to lay the foundation, with the strength of Microsoft, with so many top programmers and software engineers, with such good research and development equipment, it took a few years, you know, Microsoft's annual research and development expenses are as high as more than one billion or even billions of dollars, although these money is not all used for operating system research and development, But there is no doubt that the development of operating systems accounts for the lion's share.
As for Liu Xun's research and development, even if Liu Xun knows the source code, he can skip many steps and start research and development directly, which can save some costs, but at least a few hundred million dollars must be prepared. In fact, if Liu Xun didn't know the source code, with his strength at the moment, he would not be qualified to participate in this game at all.
Moreover, even if it is only a few hundred million dollars in research and development costs, it makes Liu Xun a little painful, even if this kid is now worth a lot of money, but the thought of investing hundreds of millions of dollars in research and development is still a little worried.
You know, although his worth is as much as 4 billion yuan, don't forget that he still has a loan of 320 million US dollars at Citibank, and when he acquired Cisco shares, the payment method was also selected in installment mode, and to the current position, the transaction volume of 380 million yuan, but there are still 190 million US dollars unpaid, so calculated, this kid has a debt of more than 500 million US dollars. At the current exchange rate, 500 million US dollars, that is also as much as 2.5 billion yuan, although it has not reached the level of insolvency, it is not far behind.
Fortunately, he now has 200 million dollars in cash in his hand, and the super cash cow of the American land certificate is still providing him with a steady stream of support, and research and development is a process of continuous investment, and there is no need to take so much money at once, hehe, in fact, if it were not for this super cash cow, the development of the operating system, Liu Xun would not dare to think about it, even if it was developed after knowing the source code, it would be an extremely money-burning process.
Thinking about it, Liu Xun's thinking suddenly jumped to the exchange rate of RMB to US dollars, the value of 4 billion yuan, equivalent to US dollars, is 800 million, and in a few years, it will only be 500 million.
In fact, since this kid has a memory of the dollar, it has always been a dollar to more than eight yuan, until 06 years to drop to less than eight yuan, since then the yuan has been appreciating, the exchange rate has been reduced to one dollar to more than six yuan. Previously, he thought that in the nineties, the exchange rate of the US dollar to the RMB had always been a few o'clock, so that he almost made a fool of himself when chatting with Zhou Peiwan once, which made Liu Xun remember another thing.
In 91, 92 and 93, the domestic foreign exchange reserves have been stable at about 20 billion US dollars, and the exchange rate of the US dollar to the RMB is a few more than 5 o'clock, but in 94 years, the foreign exchange reserves have risen from 21.1 billion US dollars in 93 to 51.6 billion US dollars, and the exchange rate has also risen from 5.762 to 8.619. Since then, the exchange rate of the US dollar against the yuan has been maintained at a few o'clock until 06 when the defense of the eight yuan was broken.
As for the reason why Liu Xun's thinking jumped to the top, it was this kid who thought that he would have to speculate on the exchange rate when the time came.
In fact, if it weren't for Zhou Peiwan's reminder last time, Liu Xun would have almost forgotten about it. Liu Xun remembers that at that time, China adopted a linked exchange rate, which means that the exchange rate at that time was a fixed exchange rate determined by China itself, which was linked to the US dollar and then remained unchanged. During the period of '93 and '94, domestic inflation was very strong, and the economy suffered a large stagnation. At that time, in order to expand foreign trade, the government took a one-step measure to depreciate the renminbi, which led to a huge change in the exchange rate of the renminbi against the dollar. And if this kind of change can be known in advance, it is very promising for the big market makers on Wall Street, whether it is in the international currency market, in the futures market, and in the stock market.
Liu Xun himself is naturally not interested in these financial operations, and he is not good at playing, but he won't, Zhou Peiwan is a big expert, as long as Zhou Peiwan makes sufficient preparations in advance, he will make a lot of money at that time, which is really promising.
This kid has also discovered that some things that he knows are going to happen in the future, in this era, if he can know in advance, it is simply a weapon to make money, he has decided, and immediately after returning to China this time, he will prepare a special notebook for himself to record these things, so as to prevent himself from forgetting them as time increases. Of course, in a language that only you can understand.
Just when this kid yy was distracted, he suddenly felt his arm shake vigorously, and then he felt that he had touched a soft area.
"Liu Xun, with such a big beauty sitting next to you for a long time, you just have to stare at your pair of tattered books, hum, is Miss Ben so unattractive?"
"Uh," Liu Xun noticed that his arm seemed to be shaken by Gao Dai'er in his arms, no wonder the sense of touch was soft, but he forgot that there was such an aunt and grandmother sitting next to him, and he almost forgot about it, sins and sins.
