Panda QQ is a network-based instant messaging software, when Ling Shizhe set up the server, and installed the client terminal on all the computers in the company, Panda QQ became popular in less than a day, the company's employees only tried it for a short time, and fell in love with this software: the convenience that this cute little panda brings to everyone is self-evident.

For example, when you need to go to a certain department to get something or check some information, you used to need to say hello through the internal phone, but now you don't need to, tap the keyboard QQ, enter the communication interface, and say hello to the other party, just directly through the file transfer function on QQ, the data is transferred to the past and shared, so that the other party can extract it through the network neighbor, which saves a lot of trouble than before......

Limited by the hardware and communication technology of this era,The uploaded file can't be too big,And the picture data can't be transmitted,But what does it matter?,PandaQQ is extremely simple,But these functions are enough,I really can't ask for too much of it,And no one thinks it's a problem。

But this problem introduced Ling Shizhe's attention, and it was indeed a small trouble not to upload large files, so he wrote a small software e-mail network mailbox and established a ...... After bundling with Panda QQ, it completely solves the problem of not being able to upload large files.

This time Panda QQ has become more popular, and the only bad sign is that Ling Shizhe found that many guys in the company were actually using this thing to catch girls, which is really ...... O Nima! Can you not be so quick to accept new things?

It's the same in Raccoon Town, this instant messaging software called Panda QQ was originally just a small tool for communication between employees within Ambrera, but the employees of the Canadian head office immediately fell in love with this little thing after a simple understanding of this small software: this little thing is so convenient!

In just one week, this panda occupies almost 90% of the PC terminals of the Ambrera headquarters in Canada, where there are more than 3,000 registered users, and this small software is spreading outward at an almost crazy speed, like a virus......

"There are many companies in North America who have sent us applications to purchase and install the Panda QQ instant messaging software. In addition, British-funded companies in Hong Kong also sent a telegram to the company, asking when Panda QQ would be on the shelves. There is also the Jet and Thruster Laboratory, although they also have Panda QQ installed there, but there is no direct network cable connection between the New Territories and Tseung Kwan O, so they can't contact the headquarters, so they asked for a cable between the New Territories and Tseung Kwan O to connect the headquarters to them to improve the efficiency of the company. Bai Lu closed the folder and reported respectfully to Ling Shizhe.

"That's too fast, isn't it?" Ling Shizhe listened to it with a smack, he never thought that a small instant messaging software would allow Hong Kong to enter the Internet era ahead of schedule.

"It's not fast, I've counted it," Bai Lu reported, "At present, almost 8,000 people in Hong Kong are using Panda QQ, mainly for us and universities in Hong Kong. Since everyone is on a local area network, it is not possible for universities to communicate with each other online; In addition, QQ has also been installed in each of our factories, and it is also because of the LAN that the factories cannot coordinate well with the headquarters. They all want to connect each other with a single thread. It's the same in Canada, Alison sent a fax saying that many of the company's cooperative companies have also sent telegrams, hoping to connect with each other, better coordinate with each other, and save costs. ”

Ling Shizhe smiled bitterly after hearing this, I don't know if the network has made QQ, or QQ has made the network, use a network cable to connect everyone with each other, how can this be so easy, there is no supporting network equipment, what problem can be solved by just pulling a line?

What are the network devices? It consists of computers (whether they are personal computers or servers), hubs, switches, bridges, routers, gateways, network interface cards (NICs), wireless access points (WAPs), printers and modems, fiber optic transceivers, fiber optic cables, and more. In addition to this, there is a series of supporting software to cooperate with it, without these things, the Internet is just a castle in the air, Alison they think too simply.

Whether it is a local area network, a metropolitan area network or a wide area network, it is usually physically composed of network cards, hubs, switches, routers, network cables, RJ45 connectors and other network connection equipment and transmission media. Network equipment includes repeaters, bridges, routers, gateways, firewalls, switches and other equipment.

And the so-called LAN established by Ambrera with PC as the terminal, if you let the network engineers of later generations see it, they will definitely complain, what kind of LAN is this TM, it is too simplified, except for the switch and the network card and the router, there is nothing, Nima also dares to say that it is a local area network.

"Tell Alison that it is not realistic to launch the Internet now, with the current technology is not up to it, you can pull the wire, just use fiber optic cable to connect the headquarters and the factory, and the rest will be talked about later. In addition, put QQ software on the market and sell it, and the price will be set at $10 a chapter. Ling Shizhe instructed Bai Ludao.

"Yes, if the chairman doesn't have anything else to do, I'll go out."

"Okay, no, you can go down." After Bai Lu came out, Ling Shizhe sat down on the sofa chair, and he suddenly felt as if there was a pair of invisible hands, whether he wanted to or not, those hands were pushing him forward.

Since the introduction of the LAN concept, Ambrera Telecom Laboratory has begun to develop various network equipment in a planned way, and has only completed a few basic things such as switches, servers, network cards, hubs, network cables, RJ45, etc., such as firewalls, retinators, gateways, bridges and other equipment have not yet been completed. As for the network standard, Ling Shizhe doesn't have to worry about it then, his computer will be equipped with the Cisco network protocol standard of his previous life, as well as the network engineer standard, and he will take it out at that time.

The key is that the network is too sensitive, think about the Prism Gate incident in his previous life, the Cisco network backdoor incident, and Huawei being framed by the U.S. government, etc., one by one all kinds of fuck things, Ling Shizhe is not willing to jump into this huge pit even if he is killed.

But now that Panda QQ is hot, Ling Shizhe must pay attention to what he has been ignoring before, and he must re-examine and plan the gathering of the network.

But how to go, Ling Shizhe thought about it, and decided that the best way at present was to let the universities in Hong Kong take the lead, and he would only provide them with ammunition in the back, ask for money for money, ask people for people, and let them go in front of Ambrera to grind their teeth with the Yankees, and set the Internet standards first. In addition, the universities in Hong Kong alone are not enough, and Canada will also be dragged into the water, and I think a few universities in Montreal are good.

It was nine o'clock in the morning in Hong Kong, exactly 12 hours away from Canada, and it was about 9 o'clock in the evening.

After listening to Ling Shizhe's decision to pull down the Canadian universities and participate in the Yankees' network standard development plan with various universities in Hong Kong, Alison did not answer immediately, but told Ling Shizhe to give him a little time to think about it.

Ling Shizhe said on the phone: "Okay, Alison, you must think about it carefully, this is related to Ambrera's future, if you are not enough, you can tell Foster my plan, and the two of you will help me think about it, and then tell me when you think about it." ”

"Okay boss, I will definitely do what you tell me, but I have a question I want to ask, if your plan really comes true, what do you plan to do about network equipment, this is a very sensitive thing after all, it will definitely recruit the CIA, and then they make non-cent requests, what should we do?"

Ling Shizhe said with a smile on the phone: "I won't give them this opportunity, once the standard is formulated, I will speed up the research and development progress of network equipment, and I have decided to disclose the source code of network equipment!" ”

"What?" Alison was startled, ignoring that it was night, and yelled into the phone, "Boss, do you know what happens if you do this?" The company will lose a lot of money due to the revenue! ”

"Quiet, quiet, Alison I know what I'm going to do again?" Ling Shizhe comforted on the other end of the phone: "Alison, I only use this plan when I have to. Don't you think it's too early to say that? ”

Alison on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief and said: "So I'm relieved, boss, although we all come to disclose technology, and then sell chips and software, but those are civilian consumer electronic products, network equipment can be different from them, don't easily disclose your core technology." ”

"Well, I know, I'm not going to make any more mistakes with the ECU." Ling Shizhe said on the phone.

After the ECU successfully met the requirements for commercial use, Ling Shizhe issued an order that all the ECUs purchased by automobile manufacturing companies should be released to them with the source code, so that they could make their own ECU software according to the actual situation of their cars. When Alison found out, she objected, saying that the source code was

The core technology of the ECU, after those car companies get the source code, our ECU will not have any secrets to speak of, they will produce the ECU themselves, they will not buy our products, as for the patent or something, with the influence of the car company in the government, they are likely to declare our patent invalid.

Capitalism is sometimes so fucked up, and when the stakes are big enough, those car predators will not hesitate to flip the table and blatantly break the rules of the game.

The core of the ECU is the algorithm, and its hardware requirements are relatively simple, and chips such as data pumps, compression and decoding, and central processing units do not have too high requirements in design and manufacturing. But in terms of software algorithms, it is very, very important!

Publishing its own source code means that the core technology program is made public, and the car company does not have to pay a penny of tuition, but directly uses it for its own use.

After realizing his mistake, Ling Shizhe immediately withdrew the order to release the ECU source code to the car company.

The network equipment is the same as the ECU, the algorithm is its core, when Huawei announced its own source code was forced to be helpless, before Australia excluded Huawei from participating in the national broadband plan project, and then the United States refused Huaxing's products to enter the American market on the grounds that Huawei has a Chinese background. Under the influence of Cisco and the U.S. government, many countries around the world have banned Huawei's equipment. In order to prove its innocence, Huawei had no choice but to publish the source code of its own devices.

At present, various enterprises buy Ambrera's network equipment, just to establish a local area network network within the enterprise, and once connected to the outside world, as the world's only network equipment manufacturer, the U.S. government will definitely come to the door and put forward the request to open the back door, what should Ling Shizhe do when the time comes?

If you don't agree, you will offend the Yankees, and you will have no good fruit to eat, and if you agree, once the matter is leaked in the future, Ambrera may go out of business, because no government will provide him with protection, not even Canada.

Cisco's systems have reserved backdoors, which is unbelievable to most people.

But if you think about it, this can't be Cisco's own meaning, there is no impermeable wall in the world, once someone detects their approach, the result will inevitably cause public anger! For Cisco, as an enterprise, this simply outweighs the loss.

This was clearly at the behest of the United States Government. Later, the Prism Project of the United States began in 2007, but the world's network construction boom began in 1995.

A senior brother of Ling Shizhe in his previous life participated in many research and development projects of communication equipment, after the prism door came out. Of course, he has also participated in the national security appraisal of Cisco equipment.

By reverse engineering a range of Cisco devices. At that time, the identification team found three ubiquitous backdoor interfaces. These three interfaces basically cover the full range of Cisco's product products.

Therefore, the purpose of Ling Shizhe's open source code is not to be a scoundrel like Huawei in history, but to avoid the whirlpool of prism gate.

But Alison objected to Ling Shizhe's plan, which made him embarrassed, but at this time Alison spoke: "Boss, I know what you are worried about, it is nothing more than the US government, but you must know that Ambrera is a Canadian company, we can completely disobey him, the only thing they can deal with us is to take up the antitrust law to sue us......"

Yes, Ling Shizhe understands what Alison means, the focus of the problem is not what backdoor to open, but the so-called monopoly!

Allison is right, Ambrera is a Canadian enterprise, Ling Shizhe categorically refuses to make unreasonable demands from the US government, and there will be nothing to do, the real trouble is the anti-monopoly law, because there is currently only Ambrera in the world engaged in network equipment, in the face of such a large global telecommunications market, that company is not jealous or red-eyed, if they don't get you some moths out, Ling Shizhe will write his name upside down.

Network equipment, Ambrera must not exist in isolation, must find a company to divide this technology, let this company go to the front to deal with the US government, when the network equipment produced by this company can not open the back door, it will have nothing to do with Ling Shizhe at all.

In this way, Ambrera can not only keep the core technology, but also stay away from these rights and wrongs.

"Allison, I see what you mean, that's a good idea, but the question now is who are we going to ask for this scapegoat? Well...... Must be a U.S.-based business. ”

Allison smiled, the boss deserved to be the boss, he only mentioned the beginning, he knew what he wanted to say next, and said into the microphone: "What do you think of the national semiconductor company?" ”

"Damn, Alison, this is going to get my friend Spot in trouble." Ling Shizhe objected, Ambrera can come to this day, Spot has played a great role, so when the computer and electrical retail company implemented the IPO, Ling Shizhe privately gave Spot 1 million shares.

Alison smiled, "What is the nature of National Semiconductor?" It is a state-owned listed company in the United States, and we have easily solved the problem by licensing the network equipment technology to it. As for your friend Spot, he is just a professional manager of the National Semiconductor Company, and let him help you lobby the U.S. military as the president of the National Semiconductor Company.

National Semiconductor is a state-owned enterprise in the United States, and the authorization to this company is equivalent to the United States mastering the technology itself, and when the time comes, they will definitely agree to the network standards you formulate, which is more effective than those universities you find......"

When Ling Shizhe heard it, he felt that Alison made sense, after the listing of National Semiconductor, its assets increased by nearly ten times, and many American political elites wanted to insert their own people into it, making Spot a mess, some time ago when Spot came to Raccoon Town, he told Ling Shizhe that he was tired of the power of various forces within the company, and had decided to leave the National Semiconductor Company as soon as his term of office came next year.

Since he's leaving, why not take advantage of this opportunity? After the national semiconductor company gets the network equipment technology, the United States and related military enterprises will definitely be its largest customers, and there will be an additional market out of thin air, and the stock will definitely rise sharply, and Spot will be able to leave with honor.

From this point of view, Spot will not only not object, but will actively cooperate with Ling Shizhe's plan.
