Operating system.

This is the business that Zhang Ning has been planning for a long time.

Whether in his previous life or now, Zhang Ning wants to have his own operating system in his heart.

This is not only to meet China's needs to have its own operating system, but more importantly, it is also due to the needs of Penguin's own development.

Why Penguin Company has reached the top of the world, some people question the strength of Penguin Company.

Many people think that although Penguin is good, it is still weaker than Microsoft, IBM, and Intel.

There are even those who feel that Penguin simply cannot compare with these companies.

The reason for this, although there are problems with the vision of these people, but more is the limitations of Penguin itself.

Penguin is not a core software or hardware company, it is an Internet company.

The Internet is built on software and hardware.

Without a computer, he would not have the Internet.

Without a computer operating system, the Internet also cannot function.

It is precisely these two key areas that Zhang Ning did not enter, nor did he have the opportunity to enter, which caused Penguin to only look powerful, but still unable to compare with these traditional hardware and software companies. Moreover, if you really fight to break the net, whether it is hardware or software, it can effectively restrict Penguin.

Of course, in the context of global convergence, these companies cannot do this.

But there is no doubt that Penguin has exposed its own weaknesses.

You need to have your own operating system.

This is what Zhang Ning has always had in his head.

It's just a pity, it's a pity, the computer operating system is too complicated and complicated.

Even if Zhang Ning wanted to enter, he never had a chance.

It's not just a matter of just a few engineers and just a few researchers.

Sometimes, even if you study it for 100 years, you can't figure it out.

In particular, after Microsoft's unification of the operating system, only a few companies have mastered the relevant technology and experience of the global operating system. Moreover, there are a few companies that cannot be compared with Penguin. In particular, even if they were still working on operating systems at a time when they didn't have a huge amount of money to support their research, they couldn't compare to Microsoft.

This is also the reason why Microsoft wants to continue to monopolize after monopoly.

As long as the monopoly continues, even if some illegal means are used, it can make some other operating system research companies unable to keep up with Microsoft's footsteps. As long as they can't keep up, then, in the future, they want to develop their own products, and in the future, they want to develop their own operating systems, and they will also be eliminated from the market.

Just like Linux, another major operating system now, although many people say that it is good, both technically and security, it is very good. But why is Linux still not being successfully promoted, and is still only used by a small number of people?

Is this anything more to say?

It's because Linux is not as good as Microsoft's Windows that Linux can't be successfully introduced to the market in the end.

However, after seeing Apple's Jobs, Zhang Ning had a good idea.

Why not join forces with Apple to create another operating system that can compete with Microsoft?

Although the current Apple watch is in a downturn, although the sales of Apple computers are not very good.

But Apple is Apple after all, and countless people in the industry are still looking forward to his rise.

Most importantly, Apple has always been a leader in IT computer technology.

Whether it's his hardware, or his software.

The hardware is like Apple computers, even if Apple computers are sold averagely, but the best computer in the world is recognized as Apple computers.

And his software, that is the Apple operating system.

It can be said that the Apple operating system is a major computer operating system after the Microsoft operating system.

In terms of performance in all aspects, Apple's operating system is definitely not worse than Microsoft's operating system, or even higher.

It's just that Apple has been closed all the time, and it has always thought that it is unwilling to cooperate with other companies, which eventually caused. When Apple's innovation doesn't work for all businesses around the world, then Apple's products fail. Just like the current Apple, his failure is precisely because of Apple's closed nature, whether it is his hardware or his software.

From this point of view, as long as Apple's closure problem is solved, it has never been unable to fight Microsoft.

This is also the reason why Zhang Ning thought of cooperating with Jobs in the operating system business.

However, apparently, Jobs seemed a little confused about the operating system proposed by Zhang Ning.

"Zhang Ning, the operating system is not interesting, besides, the operating system is Microsoft's world now."

"No, Jobs, it is precisely because the operating system is now Microsoft's domain that we have more room to enter."

"Well, though, I don't think it's easier to get into the operating system market than it is to partner with the computer hardware market. You know, our Apple computer has formed our own brand, and as long as we build a brand new computer, we can do more to attract users. But the operating system has been monopolized by Microsoft, and although I don't think our Apple operating system is worse than Microsoft's Windows, it will be difficult to challenge his position in a short period of time. Besides, don't look at Bill, he's smiling, but this guy is a smiling tiger and it's very difficult to deal with. ”

Jobs dealt with Bill for decades, and fought for decades.

Now, the winner is Bill.

Even though Jobs has always denied Bill and always thought that Microsoft's Qiē is bad, he is not stupid to think that Bill is a stupid person, he is still very jealous of this opponent.

"So, Mr. Jobs, that's why your company is working with us penguins."

Now that he has said the operating system plan, Zhang Ning has already decided that he must convince Jobs.

Then he continued, "Think about it, with your Apple technology, plus our Penguin operations, do you think we can't compete with Microsoft in the operating system market? Of course, I know that this is not a task that can be completed in a year or two, it will take a very long time, maybe ten years, or maybe longer. However, if we do enter this market, even if we only seize 20% of the market, it will make more sense than if we launch a computer business alone, and it will be more profitable. ”

"Also, Mr. Jobs, it's said that your company has been having some trouble with research funding lately. I can give some of the money that you can use to work on the operating system on the one hand, and you can continue to work on your 64-bit computer on the other hand. And, for your 64-bit computers, we don't want to interfere and we don't share any profits. ”

Zhang Ning continued to lure Jobs step by step.

In particular, grasping the problem of Apple's current capital flow, even for the 64-bit computer that Zhang Ning did not dare to be interested in, in order to make Jobs cooperate with him, he also happily gave a part of the funds.

He believed that with such a generous treatment, it was impossible for Jobs not to agree.
