Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2065 Technology is not that simple

Qiu Haitang did not hide his relationship with Hu Lijuan at all. She recounted in detail how Ji Donglai educated the children of high-ranking officials at Hu Lijuan's graduation banquet.

Including how high technology came about and the causes and consequences, it was also the first time that Qiu Ranran knew about the existence of the technology tree. In the other party’s traditional concept, the system only needed to type in codes.

Once the chip is designed, all you need to do is buy a lithography machine. It's very easy.

But in Qiu Haitang's words, that is, in Ji Donglai's practice, these are two completely different concepts.

Apart from other things, the mobile phone system that Ji Donglai has been working on for Yiyuan Mobile Phone, which is now successfully running, took a full eight years to develop and practice.

"Why does it take so long? No way, doesn't Bill Gates and his team have it easy?"

In Qiu Ranran's opinion, it is totally unacceptable to build a system in eight years. The company is almost going bankrupt.

"Haha, cousin, you are an outsider! Dong Lai said that to build a system, you not only have to build a system, but also convince many hardware manufacturers to make their hardware conform to your design concept. Sometimes the rules of a place need to be negotiated with several hardware manufacturers."

"Dong Lai said that the system is a resource scheduling program. If you want to implement your scheduling, then the supporting things must keep up. If one point is not up to date, your system will not work."

"Whether it's Microsoft's Windows system, Google's Android system, or Apple's iOS system, they all have to negotiate with a large number of hardware manufacturers when they are developing."

"Why is Windows more successful than iOS? Because Bill Gates' mother was the vice president of IBM at the time. IBM was the world's largest PC manufacturer at the time. As long as the other party made a request in terms of hardware, these hardware manufacturers had to unconditionally meet the requirements of Windows."

"So Bill Gates' Windows was very successful because he first cleared all the hardware barriers. It's true that they cooperated with Apple on iOS systems, but their requirements were higher. Because they cooperated with the military-industrial complex, they were very arrogant!"

"Bill Gates also negotiated cooperation with a large number of tool software manufacturers and application software manufacturers, so that the software of these manufacturers can run successfully on Windows. This is called hardware and software compatibility! It is very important! Because of Bill Gates' existence, these application software manufacturers do not need to negotiate with hardware manufacturers, so of course they support Bill Gates. Apple did not achieve software compatibility, so Jobs was out!"

"When Donglai was making the mobile phone system, do you know how difficult it was? He said that the reason he dared to make the system now was because the main hardware on the mobile phone motherboard was made by the Chinese themselves, and the main control chip was cracked by Donglai himself, so he could negotiate boldly with these hardware manufacturers."

"No one can hold Donglai back. The right time, right place, and right people are all in place! The system is also in place, and then he doesn't feel the challenge anymore, so he doesn't like to do it anymore. The people he chooses later can defend and expand along this path, so I support him too!"

The longer Qiu Haitang spent with Ji Donglai over the years, the more he realized how difficult it is to work in the industry.

Things that seem simple actually affect the entire body.

Qiu Haitang was also an angry young man in the past, but after being with Ji Donglai and taking steady steps, Qiu Haitang finally realized that her man was really doing something.

"Is that so? The hardware shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Qiu Ranran has an inherent concept that if you are paid, you will do whatever you are asked to do. There is no negotiation. However, Qiu Ranran has a deep understanding of software compatibility. Many plug-ins developed by the country cannot be installed on many browsers.

Often, some documents sent down by the ministry require some patches in accordance with national laws before they can be opened, but they cannot be installed or opened on the browser that comes with Win.

As for iOS, forget it, it can only be run with some specific browsers, so Qiu Ranran's assistant has at least six browsers installed on his computer.

There are three systems installed, and Qiu Ranran has to switch between different systems every day, which makes him very annoyed.

"It's a small capacitor that is inconspicuous. Donglai said that if you want to make this thing, you have to open a new mold and build a separate production line if you change a little setting inside. The so-called flexible manufacturing, where one design is used in many other designs, is just a concept. The theoretical drawings can be used."

"No factory will abandon its existing products just to develop new ones, so if the new firmware you requested is slightly different from the original product, the entire production line will be counted on you."

"A circuit board has at least a thousand parts. Donglai counted the firmware on smartphones and found that 50 of them are from China and 30 are from abroad."

"You have to go to each of the 80-odd hardware manufacturers with your design drawings! If your company is not big enough or strong enough, no one will pay attention to you, let alone design a production line for you."

"Donglai often says that when you see ducks moving freely in the water, it's because their feet are constantly moving under the water, and the price they pay is very high."

"So, it seems that Donglai is relying on the old man now, but in fact, many important negotiations will only be handled by Donglai. No one else can do it except him! In order to make the company move beyond Donglai's influence in the future, G76 was set up! Now it is very successful. Some negotiations can be discussed directly with Jiang Haokun, because the existence of G76 is enough!"

"As for what outsiders think, we don't really care. Dong said that compared to these negotiations, he prefers to work on technology. I actually think the same as him!"

Qiu Haitang looked at Qiu Ranran and said calmly, but her tone already revealed her dissatisfaction.

Since marrying Ji Donglai, Qiu Haitang rarely goes home, just like after her divorce.

Being with Ji Donglai, Qiu Haitang can truly feel at ease. It's not just about being rich, but more about Ji Donglai's steady work and not having that much impetuousness in his eyes.

With the rise of short videos, more and more people, including Qiu Haitang's family, are talking about things they are not good at, as if the times have come and anyone can achieve extraordinary careers.

Ji Donglai's current achievements are not worth mentioning in the eyes of this group of people. Some even say that he relied on Hu Lijuan's family in the first half, and Qiu Haitang in the second half.

Only Qiu Haitang knows that her man has no one to rely on. It is because of Ji Donglai that Qiu Haitang is what she is today. As for what her family thinks, Qiu Haitang doesn't care now.

Having traveled thousands of miles with a lover and seen so many prosperous mountains and rivers, I have long become indifferent to these worldly evaluations.
