Chapter 21 Economic Foundations
The famous psychologist Ishekon of the former Soviet Union once said that the main psychological phenomenon in adolescence is the sense of adulthood. Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info refers to the feeling that middle school students have become adults, so they show an "adult" style in some behavioral activities, thinking and understanding, social interactions, etc., eager to participate in adult roles, eager to be respected, and demanding independence.
The main manifestation of adulthood is the development of a new level of ambition, that is, the anticipation of a certain status that one may achieve in the future. However, in fact, adolescents do not have the conditions and abilities to be completely independent, and whether they want to admit this fact or not, they must be dependent on adults in many ways.
Therefore, the sense of adulthood is more of an illegal building that rises from the ground after a certain period of time, but in fact, the foundation is not very solid. They manifest themselves as the worship of a certain kind of hero they desire, the desire to become the world-saving superhero in the movie, the only one who can turn the tide in times of crisis, or compete with the idol singers of the young people on the screen, and then overwhelm the opponent and enchant the city.
This is a very typical symptom of "middle two diseases", like the excessive worship of the younger sister to the elder brother, in fact, to a certain extent, it also belongs to this category. It's just that he will transfer his own fantasies to his older brother.
Seeing that his mother was amused by Zhou Luo's nonsense, Zhou Chen also smiled, he knew that if he didn't open his mouth again, the topic would be endless.
"Mom and Dad, you don't have to worry about my work, in fact, I already have my own plan." He was unhurried and said in a flat tone.
Zhou Chuming and Yang Xiying were stunned, Zhou Chuming reacted, and seeing that his son didn't look like a joke, he said happily: "It's good to have a plan." ”
He didn't ask Zhou Chen what his plan was, because he knew that his son must have his own considerations. Sometimes parents should let their children play on their own, even if it turns out to be a failure in the end, isn't it a valuable harvest for their children?
Yang Xiying also heard that her son didn't want to go to school, and couldn't help but ask carefully: "Are you really not going to be a teacher at your father's school?" ”
Zhou Chen shook his head: "I don't have any plans in this regard for the time being." ”
"Well, since you don't want to, don't go if you don't go."
Yang Xiying knew that her son had always had his own opinions, and it was difficult to change what he had decided, so she didn't persuade him again.
At this time, it was not early, and after finishing the conversation with his family, Zhou Chen came to his room.
It was a spacious master bedroom, with the same layout and belongings as when he left.
The faint incense wafting in the air makes people feel a different kind of warmth.
Zhou Chen closed the door, took out his laptop from his backpack, and turned it on.
The boot logo of the computer is not the familiar Microsoft logo, but a never-before-seen starry sky icon.
If you look closely, you will find that there is a silver sphere like a chicken in the starry sky icon that is slowly enlarged, it is a robot with a cute face, it is Dandan!
After seeing the icon, Zhou Chen smiled slightly.
This is a computer that has been transformed by Dandan, and the hardware is still the same as before, but the software has been optimized and strengthened, and the performance has been greatly improved.
Seeing that the computer instantly entered the desktop from boot, Zhou Chen opened the browser and logged in to his mailbox, wanting to see if there was any news about his submission to Nature.
Soon, he saw a reply from the editorial department of Nature in his mailbox, roughly telling him that the manuscript had been received and asking him to wait patiently for review.
Although it was the first time to submit a manuscript, Zhou Chen knew that such a reply was a good sign, at least indicating that the editor did not put his manuscript in the garbage list in the first place, and the follow-up development was still promising.
Zhou Chen smiled easily and exited the mailbox. He looked at the table with a sci-fi atmosphere, and there was nothing to do for a while, when his eyes flashed, and a thought suddenly jumped into his mind.
"Why don't you take out this operating system designed by Dandan and sell it?"
Imagine the impact of the emergence of a completely new operating system in the PC field, which has been ruled by the vast empire of Microsoft for decades. In recent years, the development of the PC side has been tepid, as if it has entered a bottleneck period, and a more excellent operating system has appeared, which is equivalent to the effect of a hungry traveler in the desert encountering an oasis.
He believes that this operating system designed by Dandan, if it is really commercialized, will definitely have a bright future. That means a steady stream of wealth!
Perhaps in the textbooks of primary and secondary schools in the future, the name of Bill Gates will no longer appear, but his Zhou Chen's.
Maybe it started out as a bit of curiosity, or maybe it was just a bad idea.
But as soon as this thought appeared, it took root in Zhou Chen's mind like a weed with tenacious vitality, making him involuntarily examine his plans on the earth.
Yes, outside of Earth, he is the commander of the Earth Fleet with thousands of fully automated robots at his disposal; But on Earth, he is not a commander, he is just an ordinary ordinary person at this stage.
This is like a mirror, and one side of the mirror reflects a rich man and big boss who has countless fortunes and a group of followers; On the other side is a remote mountain villager who runs all day long for a living, working hard but still poor. They are not connected in essence, but if one day a mountain villager is suddenly discovered to be the only son of a long-lost Tycoon, then his fate will naturally change.
The current Zhou Chen is like this mountain villager, although he has inherited a large number of inheritances, but this inheritance cannot be immediately explained to other people living with him in the mountains and wilderness.
Because there are still some wicked people in the mountains, they covet the villagers who suddenly get rich, and they may rise up with evil intentions. At the same time, he was reluctant to leave the mountains, so he could only live a life of poverty, working and cultivating according to the seasons as usual.
Zhou Chen's current situation is a little embarrassing, even if he has the complete command of the Earth Fleet in his hands, but at this stage on the Earth, he is still just an ordinary poor person.
He has two ways to go, one is to find the government, be open and honest, and get privileges from this, but although Zhou Chen feels that he needs to do this, it is still too early at this moment, and he is proud of his instinctive resistance in his heart; The other way is to establish one's own social status through one's own efforts and initially complete the accumulation. This is close to his original intention, and he wanted to enhance academic authority by publishing papers, isn't this the way he took it?
So now he has another consideration, in addition to publishing papers, can he also build his own economic empire through advanced technology, so as to reduce some constraints for his plan? Or is it not necessary to build an economic empire for the purpose of building oneself, as long as it is convenient for oneself to move around the earth, isn't it enough?
In fact, Zhou Chen himself does not want to get involved in business behavior, not to mention his disgust with the deceitful behavior of the business world, purely from the perspective of time - business, means to spend a lot of time in company management and marketing, even if there are professional managers who can manage the company for him, but some necessary entertainment is still indispensable, and his original intention is to engage in research, absorb the scientific and technological achievements of the Odo-Otto civilization, and lead mankind to escape from the earth after high prestige.
This is a set of contradictory relationships that arise from the entanglement of finite time, as the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle once said to his mentor Plato more than 2,300 years ago: "I love my teacher, and I love the truth above all." "Starting from his heart, Zhou Chen especially loves scientific research, not money and fame.
But on the other hand, from a realistic point of view, as an ordinary person, he has no power, no power, no money, and he will not be able to let go of anything he does.
In addition to being related to the brainpower of researchers, many of the results have a lot to do with financial investment, and it is not an exaggeration to say that some studies are completely funded by money. Don't you see that many scientific and technological workers are not burying their heads in scientific research in a down-to-earth manner, but are trying to pull the state and enterprises to invest in science and technology?
Although Dandan can provide him with "results", these results have no experimental data accumulation, no realistic experimental equipment, so the source is "unreliable" like a rootless Ping, the outside world will question how he got these "results", but will only provoke more right and wrong.
Speaking of a word, money is a hero's courage, clothes are a saint's hair, and without a certain economic foundation as a backing, scientific research is impossible.
If you can make your life a little better, why not? If you don't take it, you will be blamed for it, and you have something ready-made, so why not use it to pave the way and make the road smoother? After thinking about it, Zhou Chen gradually had an idea.
But looking at the system in the computer, he shook his head again.
The Microsoft empire has dominated the PC space for so many years, and the user habits developed over the years have formed an unbreakable barrier. At this time, the model of the PC side has basically been fixed, it involves a lot of application-level software, touching too many interests to adjust, even if you come up with a better operating system than Microsoft, whether the market can accept it or not.
"It looks like the PC side is not working, why don't you try the mobile side?"
Zhou Chen called the idea to his mobile phone.
Different from the silence of the PC side, the mobile phone end has been very popular in recent years, and international and domestic manufacturers have devoted themselves to the research and development and production of mobile phones, resulting in the rapid replacement of mobile phones.
This is the scene of prosperity!
The mobile phone side does not have fixed user habits like the PC side, and due to the continuous innovation of technology, mobile phone users are relatively more receptive to new things.
In the current mobile phone market, Android and iOS almost monopolize the entire smartphone market, except for the extinct Symbian system, even Microsoft's windowsphone can only survive in the gap between these two systems.
In terms of the excellence of the system, Zhou Chen believes that the optimization of iOS is better than that of Android.
The reason why Android's market share can reach 80% is mainly due to the open-source nature of the Android system, which reduces the cost of maintenance and promotion, rather than its optimization is better than iOS; Relatively speaking, the closure of iOS has certainly reduced its market share, but the meticulous optimization still makes it the top profit in the industry.
However, in Zhou Chen's opinion, both Android and iOS are pale and powerless in front of powerful eggs. If you come up with a better operating system than iOS, there is no doubt that it will be a revolutionary impact on the mobile phone market.
"What a bad choice......
Coming up with a new system means devoting part of your energy to managing and operating it, and it would be a pity not to take it.
For a while, Zhou Chen was in a dilemma.
"Forget it, if you have something good, take it out, what a hypocrisy!"
In the end, Zhou Chen made a decision and began the specific layout on the earth.
