"Are you planning to develop the next generation of Mustang models with this model, or are you just planning to launch a limited edition model?"

Lin Zheng's question is a bit difficult to answer, Bill. Ford hesitated for a moment, and finally said vaguely: "This is a direction for the future development of the Mustang." ”

Lin Zheng nodded, Bill. Ford's answer didn't surprise him, and since that was the case, he wondered if he would be able to convince Bill. Ford is a little more sure: "That is, there is no intention of a new facelift of the Mustang for the time being, so it is better to give all these limited edition models to our Siberian Tiger to produce...... Just like the previous Shelby model. ”

Like a Shelby model? Bill. Ford's brow furrowed.

What is a Shelby model? Everyone knows that the Shelby model is the top model among the Mustang sports cars, and has a very special position in the Mustang car family, so much so that this model does not even use the galloping Mustang logo, but a cobra with a wide mouth and a hideous face.

As the top model of the Mustang car family, the cobra with two big fangs has fascinated countless Ford fans, but the Shelby Cobra is from Ford's royal modification unit, how can the Siberian Tiger be the same as the Shelby Cobra?

Lin Zheng could guess Bill. Ford hesitated for something, and continued: "Since it is a limited edition model, I believe that Ford Motor does not plan to launch too many quantities, in this case, it is not cost-effective for Ford to re-order production equipment; ”

"The Siberian Tiger has purchased special production equipment for this model, and has also received technical support from Ford when modifying and designing the Mustang. I think it's a win-win outcome for both of us. ”

What Lin Zheng wants is for the Siberian Tiger to be officially recognized by Ford. Bill. Ford also knew what Lin Zheng was calculating, but there was no doubt that Lin Zheng's words were about Bill. Ford's heart goes.

Admittedly, Ford does not have any plans to mass-produce this Mustang with the exterior and interior, at least not yet, if not for anything else, because it would disrupt Ford's pace of development with the Mustang model. It's a terrible thing for a company to have their models unpopular, but it's not even worse that their models aren't popular. If this batch of cars is handed over to the Siberian Tiger for production, it will not only calm the anger of fans, but also will not have much impact on the production and operation of their company. It's definitely a good thing for Ford. As for the quality of the product, if he is not completely sure, he Bill. How could Ford possibly come to Lin Zheng today?

"I need to think again." After a moment's silence, Bill. Ford finally looked up and said to Lin Zheng.

Lin Zheng nodded with a smile: "Of course, I can completely understand." ”

What this means is to agree.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Moros, who honestly didn't talk much during the meal, finally couldn't help but ask Lin Zheng on the way back: "Why do I think we have suffered a big loss this time?" ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Lin Zheng sighed softly, will he suffer this time? It's a big loss. But even if there is a point or two, how can I choose to agree to cooperate with Ford? But it's not a good question to talk to Morosdo after all. Smiled and touched Moros's head and said, "It seems that we are at a loss now, but it is also a good thing for us in the long run...... Well? How do I think this Newton tablet of yours is a little different? ”

In his hand, Moros is holding an Apple Newton messagePAD100 tablet, which is an improvement of the first generation of Newton tablets launched by Apple in 94, using an ARM610 chip, built-in 4MB of ROM and 1MB of RAM and a 320*240 resolution graphic dot matrix STN-LCD black and white LCD display, of course, when it comes to function, This Newton messagePAD100 is naturally far worse than the tablet computers of later generations, but in this era, it is simply a product beyond the times, from science fiction movies, Lin Zheng also has one, which is his daily electronic assistant, but what makes Lin Zheng a little strange is that Moros's Newton messagePAD100 seems to be better than his own...... Tougher?

"That's what you say?" As soon as she talked about the tablet computer in her hand, Moros suddenly came to her senses, and shook the Newton messagePAD100 in her hand at Lin Zheng triumphantly, and said: "I replaced the operating system on this computer with a system written by myself, and transplanted some software that I use more often...... The NewtonOS system that Apple has prepared for this tablet is nothing short of a pile of garbage......"

What Moros said below Lin Zheng couldn't hear it clearly, he looked at Moros in front of him dumbfounded, feeling that his mouth was so dry, he cautiously parked the car on the side of the road, and asked Moros, "You say...... You replaced this NewtonOS system on this Newton messagePAD100 with one you wrote yourself? ”

"yes." Seeing that Lin Zheng was interested in his transformed Newton messagePAD100, Moros saved the information on it and simply handed it to Lin Zheng: "I did it on the basis of the linux system and ported it to the super lite version of linux, but compared to the original GNU/Linux system, this system runs on the Linuxkernel, you also know ......"

"I know," Lin Zheng nodded, but his tone was a little indifferent: "If you want to run on such a small machine, you must not only reduce the size of the system, but also ensure that the part that is constrained by the GNUGPL license is removed, and the Linuxdriver and Linuxkernel are completely separated, in order to ensure that the machine can run smoothly, Cairo, X11, Alsa, FFmpeg, GTK, Pango, Glibc, etc., must be removed, right?" Well, replacing Glibc with Glibc, Skia instead of Cairo, and opencore instead of FFmpeg are also necessary. ”

He is also an expert in the linux system, just a simple start, he already knows how different Moros's system is from the complete linux system, and it can even be said that this system can not be regarded as a real linux system, for the ARM610 CPU, it is impossible to run linux smoothly.

But Moros was very happy, and nodded excitedly: "That's right, that's it, this system is much easier to use than the original NewtonOS, and the most important thing is that I can write some programs I want to use by myself......"

Girl, do you want to be so rebellious? Lin Zheng smiled bitterly in his heart.

Tablets and PDAs? Of course, this is in Lin Zheng's imagination, Lin Zheng will naturally not forget these two epoch-making works, but he knows very well that with the current level of hardware, it is indeed too difficult to develop tablet computers and handheld computers, according to the original development law, it will be a good miracle in 2 years, but now it is ...... Lin Zheng's gaze at Moros suddenly became a little hot: "Girl, is it okay to sell me this system?" ”

"Do you like this?" Moros blinked, and said generously to Lin Zheng: "If you like it, then I'll go back and give you a copy, it's okay." ”

"You don't understand," Lin Zheng smiled bitterly, shook his head, pointed to the Newton messagePAD100 in his hand and said to Moros: "Let me tell you this, now Apple is desperately improving Newton, and the Plam company that our company has invested in is also developing similar products, I am ready to develop a set of personal handheld intelligent terminals with your system, no matter what our relationship is, in business, I can't let you suffer." ”

After a pause, he added: "The market value of this thing is not to be underestimated, and I personally estimate that it can earn you millions of dollars in wealth." ”

Millions of dollars? It's all mine? Moros's eyes lit up!

As a tech genius, Moros doesn't make much money, but she understands how much money can play in her research, and there is no doubt that if she has a few million dollars at her disposal, she can create an ideal real room.

After all, the little girl grew up in a contract society like the United States, although she has lived with Lin Zheng for so long, but the spirit of contract has penetrated into the marrow of this girl, so naturally she will not think that there is anything wrong with Lin Zheng buying things from her because Lin Zheng is her adoptive father, so she nodded and said, "So that's the case...... Say, how do you want to cooperate? After a pause, the little girl didn't even forget to give Lin Zheng a set: "I believe you won't let me suffer." ”

"Of course I won't let you suffer," Lin Zheng said, making this cheap on his adopted daughter? Lin Zheng couldn't afford to lose this person, so he simply said: "I have two plans, one is to buy out your system directly with a sum of money, and the other is to buy it in the form of cash plus shares, of course, the second way of cooperation, the money given to you at the beginning will definitely not be a lot." (To be continued......)
