readx;?“ Mr. Gosling, I need to be sure that you're in contact with me on behalf of Sun, right? After sitting down, Lin Zheng asked James . Gosling asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ//

"Yes, of course." Gosling said without hesitation.

Although he is not the boss of Sun, Gosling's position in Sun is enough for the company's board of directors to approve of his approach, not to mention that Sun has repeatedly mentioned in the company's internal high-level meetings that it wants to cooperate with Lisheng Electronics in the global promotion of JA&VA: the strong performance of Lisheng's smartphone in the market has made the entire Sun company crazy, even Sun itself did not expect that this mobile phone can make such a huge wave in the market.

The market is in a frenzy of pursuit of smart phones, and this Lisheng smartphone needs to install JA&VA software, in the face of this situation, if Sun has not yet reacted to what to do, the company's board of directors should all resign, this time Gosling came to Hanover, one of the important purposes is to contact the senior management of Lisheng Electronics.

Lin Zheng nodded, since Gosling can speak on behalf of Sun Company, then everyone can continue to talk: "Then there is no problem, Mr. Gosling, I am looking forward to how Sun Company is going to cooperate with Lisheng Electronics?" ”

"Sun sincerely hopes that Lisheng Electronics will work with Sun to promote JA&Va on a global scale."

"Driving the global rollout of JA&VA?" Lin Zheng raised his eyebrows, a little noncommittal.

"Yes, to promote the adoption of JA&Va on a global scale!" Gosling waved his arms, as if thinking of the wonderful prospects of JA&VA in the market, his chubby round face flushed and his whole person looked excited: "JA&va has been around since it came out. It has been greatly recognized by the market, and both programmers and the market believe that JA&VA is a language that is better than the C# language in many fields, and has a broader application prospect!

We have been inspired by your company's efforts to promote the use of JA&va in the field of mobile communications. We believe that in addition to the traditional server and PC fields, JA&Va should play a role in a wider field......"

"But with all due respect." Gosling was so excited that Lin Zheng interrupted James. Gosling's words, he frowned and asked, "Mr. Gosling, what you said is true, but I want to know that Lisheng Electronics helps Sun to promote JA&Va globally, what is the benefit of this for my company?" ”

You said for a long time that it was all about the benefits of your SUN company, but to promote the application of JA&VA in the field of mobile communication devices. It is equivalent to cultivating more competitors for Lisheng mobile phones, helping your Sun company to promote JA&VA, what is the benefit to us? We can't just let you pick peaches after all the hard work of planting peach trees, right?

Of course, there is no such reason.

However, Gosling was of course prepared, and in the face of Lin Zheng's question, he said confidently: "Sun company is willing to establish a partnership with your company, which can not only assist your company in developing the corresponding JA&VA software, but also make targeted optimization according to your company's needs to help your company better occupy the market." ”

At the time of these words, Gosling was full of confidence. I firmly do not think that Lin Zheng will refuse the hand of friendship extended by Sun, as a high-tech company incubated from Stanford University, Sun not only has an intricate relationship with Stanford University. It is also a giant IT company with a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars and more than 50,000 employees around the world.

What makes countless IT practitioners envious is that the office area of SUN company is more than 450,000 square meters, so you may not have an intuitive impression, so we might as well give an example: this office area is more than 50 football fields! There are also more than a dozen office buildings the size of football fields under construction, which have the largest office space per capita among the largest companies in the entire IT industry.

But will Lin Zheng really take over without thinking?

That's weird!

It's March 2000, and SUN is still in full swing. But this is already the last glory moment of Sun, and there will be 3 more months at most. After the dot-com bubble bursts in full force, Sun will plummet in just one year. The brain drain is exhausted, even the office building has been sold in order to make a profit, and the stock price has fallen from $183 at its peak to less than $1. I have to say that Sun Company did make a good calculation.

"That's all?" Lin Zheng, who was very aware of the future development trajectory of Sun Company, asked Gosling noncommittally.

Gosling was stunned for a moment before asking, "Isn't that enough?" ”

The implication of that expression: we are Sun, one of the best high-tech companies in the world, and IBM are on an equal footing, we are willing to give a chance to cooperate, I don't know how many companies will cry and shout and rush up, just to get this opportunity to cooperate, you are not satisfied?

In fact, Lin Zheng was indeed dissatisfied.

Shaking his head, Lin Zheng said: "To be honest, I am indeed dissatisfied. ”

“……”

James. Gosling didn't speak, but just looked at Lin Zheng with a fool-like gaze: would someone stretch out the hand of friendship extended by Sun Company?

Looking at Gosling, Lin Zheng said lightly: "Mr. Gosling, since you and RVALDS are good friends, then you should know that Mr. RVALDS is developing a real smartphone operating system for the mobile communication market on the basis of the Linux system...... Or do you think that the phone before Lisheng Electronics can be considered a smartphone? ”

"Of course not." Gosling shook his head without thinking, but then, his face changed.

Don't look at the media all day long that the mobile phone of Lisheng Electronics is a smart phone, which can surf the Internet, chat ICQ, listen to songs, and install and uninstall your favorite software as freely as operating a computer, it seems that it is indeed a smart phone, but the real industry insiders scoff at the word "smart" of this mobile phone. In everyone's opinion, this phone is a feature phone at best, and it deserves to be called a "semi-smart" phone at most, but this does not prevent everyone from paying lip service to this phone. The reason is simple, Lisheng Electronics has opened a whole new window for mobile communication giants who are working hard to develop smartphones: the original. Smartphones can do this before they are even available!

Now that everyone is gearing up to develop their own JA&VA version of the "smartphone", it is certainly impossible to shoot yourself in the foot.

However, the JA&VA version of the smartphone is not a smartphone, but a phone equipped with the Linux operating system will certainly be worthy of the word "smartphone".

Only then did he realize that he had far less chips in his hand than he had imagined.

Gosling's face flashed again and again, he took a deep breath and asked Lin Zheng, "Then what does Mr. Lin mean......"

Faced with the opportunity sent by Gosling, Lin Zheng did not hesitate to stretch out his dragon slaying knife: "Want Lianchuang Technology to support Sun's goal of promoting JA&Va on a global scale?" Yes. My request is very simple, Sun and Lianchuang Technology have formed a strategic partnership, and in addition, the two companies have strengthened technical exchanges. ”

Lin Zheng has been drooling over Sun for a long time, as a company that once almost overthrew Microsoft in the operating system, Lin Zheng knows one thing very well, that is, there are many people in Sun Company, not to mention James. Gosling, John. Gage, Bill. Joey, Patrick. Norton, Wayne. Rosin and Eric. Scummy is a rebellious existence, just after Sun went downhill, Google CEO Eric . Schmidt and the first vice president of engineering, Wayne Brown. Lawson is from Sun. This is enough for Lin Zheng to be greedy, you must know that it is the existence of these two people. The foundation of Google's engineering department was laid.

Sun company is about to go downhill, in the face of this rare opportunity, Lin Zheng as early as 2 years ago secretly planned to take advantage of it, ready to take advantage of this rare opportunity to collect some talents from Sun company for his own use, he was worried about how to find a suitable opportunity, but he didn't expect Gao Sling to take the initiative to send it to the door.

But the straightforward James. Gosling was so angry that he almost flipped the table in front of him.

Strategic partnerships? This is not a casual statement, "strategic partnership" means that the two companies will become brothers, the two companies will support each other, support each other, and to some extent, even have you and me. But why did you form a strategic partnership with Sun?

But as soon as this sentence came to his mouth, he swallowed it back alive: Sun Company is very powerful. But Lin Zheng's ICQ is not in vain, and the bastard of RVALDS was also fooled by this bastard.

"How?" Looking at Gosling. Lin Zheng said calmly: "Mr. Gosling thinks that our strength is not enough to become a strategic partner of Sun? ”

"Of course...... No," finally thinking of ICQ and RVALDS, Gosling suddenly felt a little unconfident, and said netently: "It's just...... This is beyond the authority given to me by the company. ”

"I see!" Lin Zheng immediately laughed: "It's not a problem...... Mr. Gosling is the mainstay of SUN, so please forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, Mr. Gosling, what do you think of our cooperation? ”

"Me?" After a moment's hesitation, Gosling said, "It seems...... It's also a good idea. ”

"That's easy," Lin Zheng smiled and nodded: "Since Mr. Gosling also thinks that the cooperation between the two sides is a matter that is beneficial to both parties, then please tell the board of directors of your company our intention when you go back, and show that we are very sincere in this cooperation." ”

“…… All right. "Hesitating for a moment, James. Gosling finally nodded, "But I don't guarantee that the company will agree." ”

JA&VA is an open source project, compared to closed-source C# and C++, Sun does not have much advantage in JA&Va at least, maybe establishing a strategic partnership with Lin Zheng is an idea worth considering?

In the face of Gosling's hesitation, Lin Zheng's expression was quite affirmative: "I firmly believe that the senior management of your company will consider this...... Mr. Gosling, you are a technology person, and you may not know much about the current economic situation, but what I want to tell you is that the era of the Internet bubble has arrived, and in my opinion, Sun has too much water that needs to be accumulated, and at this time, Sun needs a strong ally. ”

"......" Gosling's face changed, and then he said slowly: "I will convey your intention to the board of directors of the company." ”

Yes, he Gosling is also a technology maniac, but this does not mean that he is ignorant of the current economic situation, IQ is there, in fact, the stock prices of major IT companies in the United States have been falling during this time, this decline is not the stock price of one or several companies is falling, but the decline of the nature of the entire industry, it is enough to show that the problem is serious to a certain extent - as a talent who has made outstanding contributions to Sun Company, Gosling holds a small part of Sun Company's shares, The change in Sun's stock price is directly related to Gosling's wallet.

The stocks of all IT companies are falling, without exception, but among them, the stock price of Sun company is undoubtedly the most ruthless one, in fact, this time Sun company is ready to cooperate with Lin Zheng is enough to illustrate the problem: even if it is put on the shelves half a year ago, the wealthy and self-esteemed Sun company will not take the initiative to seek cooperation with others, otherwise the JA&VA semi-smart phone of Lisheng has been on the market in Europe for more than half a year, and more than 1 million units have been sold in the first three months of listing. Why didn't Sun come to seek cooperation with Lianchuang Technology at that time?

Speaking of which, Sun Company still felt that it was under too much pressure and could not hold on.

"Okay," Lin Zheng nodded with a smile: "I am looking forward to the next cooperation between the two sides." ”

Gosling left with a heavy heart, looking at Gosling's disappearing back, Lin Zheng suddenly grinned. (To be continued)
