Reboot 2003

Chapter 248 027: Kaitian OS (three-in-one) (replaced)
The winter of 08 is gradually coming to an end. The low temperature lasted until the end of January, and there are finally signs of an end.

On the first day of February, domestic trains gradually resumed commuting, and water and electricity were restored in the hardest-hit Hunan Province next door.

When Chen Qin returned home in the afternoon after receiving the result notice, her grandmother told her that the old couple seemed to be back in two days.

The winter vacation has begun, and life has returned to calm.Ah Yue is still busy promoting her game. Xu Lingling has been a little busy in recent days - it seems that Yao Nabei has released a new album and specially asked her to sing a harmony in a song. The snowstorm is so big, she thought I didn't come back to Longshan either.

Fortunately, the weather is getting better anyway.

If everything goes well, maybe she can come back with her father during the Chinese New Year...

The days continued like this, and the time entered February. When Chen Qin woke up early in the morning, he saw a text message from Guo Yang.

He said that Song Ziyun failed the exam again, and the problem this time was really a bit big. He and Ayue planned to explain the situation to Song Ziyun's parents, and also implement the [-] remuneration. Of course, this money is not available yet. …After all, the game hasn’t started charging yet.

Chen Qin didn't want to run around in the winter, so he sent a text message saying that you should go alone.

Turning on the computer, I thought about going to the project page to take a look. Recently, A Yue has also started to contact the company. With the popularity of the game, Kuaikan Media seems to finally be planning to compromise. Although the specific conditions have not been negotiated, the current CEO also plans to wait for Xue I stopped for an interview in Longshan, but Ayue asked people from the company to participate in daily operations, and these requirements were basically met.

Therefore, Xiao Chen, who is the backbone of the development team, is fine.

I woke up early in the morning and wandered around, but I saw that my Waibo.com account also received a private message...

"Dear Mr. Chen Aotian, we are a small game production team..."

It was quite a coincidence that she obviously didn't know who this was - she saw that Chen Aotian had a high number of fans and hundreds of thousands of followers on Waibo.com, so she casually sent the copy.The wave of popularity on the first day probably made her develop some kind of path dependence. In recent days, she has been trying various methods to promote the game. The report was written by her through Lao Gu's connections. In fact, it was not It's reasonable, but sending random private messages like this is not very particular...

Of course, there is no doubt about the power of self-media. In a sense, she has seen the future development direction of social media.

It’s just that no matter how popular it is, it’s still in the future. With the development of the Internet advertising industry, in the future, advertising in higher-level media will no longer be cost-effective, and then self-media will flourish. It’s still 2008...it’s the owner of Weibo. Website advertising is not very expensive, and self-media advertising is even less expensive.

Maybe I should teach her a lesson in two days and teach her some serious marketing techniques. For example, if I ask someone to post an advertisement, I can hold a forwarding lottery instead of sending random private messages like this.

But forget it.

For juniors to start a business, all they have to do is work hard enough, especially since this little niece is doing well and seems to have no more requirements now.

So Chen Qin spent an hour on his home computer, registered "Friends Brawl", created an account, and played three daily challenges.

Then he posted on Weibo, saying that this game seems to be very popular recently, but I just registered an account. How can I earn money from this game?
When he posted it on Weibo, he immediately attracted a group of onlookers. After all, Chen Aotian hadn't done anything in a while.

A more honest netizen told him that the original author of this game said that this game has no paid items and is a free game.

Some netizens who are more practical have collected a lot of information and said that this is a small game made by middle school students in China. It has been very popular recently and seems to be preparing to launch some limited paid projects, but the specific date has not been revealed yet.

Someone else asked him, "Aren't you a hacker? Do you still need to top up your game account?"This shows that you are not a hacker at all, you are just an ordinary rich person!
Of course, there are also more hard-core people watching the fun, shouting that you send the link and let me teach you a lesson...

In this way, Mr. Chen, who has a net worth of tens of billions, interacted cordially with netizens. It was not just once or twice that Chen Aotian was beaten for playing flash games, and it is said that the man behind the recently popular Flash Empire He is the boss. After everyone learned about this 'Friends Brawl', they did not continue to discuss the topic of this game.

In contrast, everyone is still more interested in him.

For example, someone asked: "Are you going to use the money you earned from last year's financial crisis to play Flash games?"

As a foreigner who has made a lot of money in a field with incompetent supervision, this public impression seems to be irreversible. However, Chen Qin has been mentally prepared for this and has been minimizing his activities recently to avoid triggering a bigger problem. chain reaction, but now it seems that at least ordinary people do not particularly hate this rich but incompatible with Wall Street 'bell ringer'.

Of course, it is true that there is no good intention - for example, at the same time, many people gloated and asked him: "Chen, why didn't you quarrel with anyone at the end of last year? Were you frightened by the gunman in Times Square?"

It's probably a bit of hell, but Chen Qin sent a lawyer's letter to China's largest news website at the end of 03. His feud with Facebook at the end of 04 was also very exciting. He found Redstone at the end of 05, and he got into a fight with Goldman Sachs at the end of 06...

It’s a toss-up every year, and every year is wonderful; it seems that every time before their Lunar New Year, this person will put on a big show to accompany everyone to celebrate the New Year, but this year, nothing happened until February. It seems that last year’s shooting case It did have a huge impact. Since then, this outspoken Chinese seems to have kept a low profile...

However, some people are not polite, and there are also many people who are very enthusiastic.

For example, an unknown foreign actress replied to the post and asked: "Why do you like such childish things?"

I vaguely remember that she struck up a conversation with her in a private message last time. Xiao Chen is very ambitious and cannot be underestimated. He replied on the spot and asked her: "Then what should I like?"

After the results were sent out, the woman directly sent a photo of herself and asked him, "Do you like this?"

Xiao Chen is only 12 years old. In order to help his niece save the company that is about to go bankrupt, he took the risk to go to Waibo.com to compete with netizens. How could he see such a scene?However, as the bell ringer on Wall Street, the father of Weibo, and the chief product engineer of Galaxy Software, he cannot lose his momentum.

He calmly replied with three words: "Is there more?"

He is calm, calm, and undisturbed. He puts the problem to the other party in an understatement, showing his true qualities as a general.

The female star didn't respond for the time being, but the number of message notifications suddenly increased, and more of the same photos were sent. The group of foreign women who often acted like monsters in private messages appeared one by one, and there were also netizens who did good things. Issued a collection that has been treasured for many years.

Xiao Chen behind the screen was blushing. Fortunately, at the critical moment, someone in the company sent a message: "Mr. Chen, are you online?"

Chen Qin quickly opened the star core and explained: "Haha, nothing happens. Are you watching too?"

When I saw it was Zhao Shiqiang, I thought that this old Zhao is quite a serious person...

In the end, Zhao Shiqiang was overjoyed: "Yes, we saw it yesterday. Although the situation is very similar to what you said, everyone is a little confused about what to do..."

Does Chen Qin sound a little wrong? "what did you say?"

"As for Google, they released two open source systems today. Everyone is discussing this matter now, but things are a bit beyond expectations..."

Only then did Chen Qin realize that they were discussing this matter.

When we arrived at the conference channel, everyone was already there. There were a little more people than last time, but things were still the same - now Galaxy Software's four business groups plus an investment department each operate independently and continue at their own pace. Expansion, everything is going great.

However, the only project that requires mobilizing the strength of all business groups to work together is the mobile platform system 'Kaitian OS'.Of course, everything was going well with this project, but something seemed to go wrong today. They had been discussing it for a while.

As soon as she entered the remote conference room of Xinghe, Lu Rong said in a loud voice: "Mr. Chen, you came just in time, something big has happened!"

He also said angrily: "Google copied our system!"

Others said about her: "Xiao Lu, don't be surprised all day long..."

Chen Qin asked: "I know that Google is going to release Android. Isn't this planned in advance?"

Zhao Shiqiang said: "Not only did they release Android, but they also released another mobile phone system. We thought you, Mr. Chen, were also paying attention."

Chen Qin is busy making games, so he has no time to care about this. Besides, as a reborn person, this matter is really not a big deal - although the patents he has are not enough, it is disgusting that Apple and Google are also new entrants. It's quite easy for those of you who are good at it, but it's even easier if you want to protect yourself.

Chen Qin asked: "What system?"

"Last year, didn't Google launch the Open Mobile Alliance..." Zhao Shiqiang said, "But after it was established, they made a mistake by not open-sourcing Android as soon as possible."

Chang You said: "In fact, it is not necessarily a mistake. Many open source software are delayed open source."

Zhao Shiqiang nodded: "But Mr. Li used China Mobile's relationship to launch our 'Kaitian OS' within this alliance..."

Lu Rong became more energetic: "Yes, we made a move and released our Kaitian OS within his alliance."

At this time, Mr. Li said: "Actually, the main reason is that we open sourced the code earlier. Those foreign manufacturers were still hesitant at first, but seeing that our platform was open sourced in advance and timely, their attitudes seemed to have changed, and our patent advantages were gradually reflected. , Apple has recently wanted to reconcile with us, and no one is optimistic about Google’s Android system..."

"I know this," Chen Qin asked, "but what are the two systems you are talking about?"

"Mr. Chen, today is the time they announced the official open source Android system." Lu Rong said, "But they uploaded two systems today, one is 'Android' and the other is called 'FuchsiaOS', which is also a free and open source mobile OS. , basically copying ours..."

Chen Qin didn't understand what she meant for a while: "Then they are quite leisurely. Aren't they afraid of us filing a lawsuit?"

At this time, Mr. Li in the channel explained: "Their FuchisiaOS is forked from our Kaitian OS."

"Oh……"

Chen Qin finally understood what was going on.

Although there are many types of open source software, they are all open copyright software.

Under the premise of complying with open source rules, users can use open source code at will, and of course they can also create new branches for open source projects. This behavior is called Fork.

Google just released the Android system today, which is actually a bit late. Although Apple has been attacked by patents, they have a hardware ecosystem, strong design experience, and Steve Jobs. The iPhone launched this year has been very popular with users. After the Guazi mobile phone was launched, It is also often used as an object of comparison.At this time, Google's situation is a bit embarrassing——

It and Apple were originally brothers in the same pair of pants. They originally wanted to imitate the brothers and built a system, but they turned around and were sniped by the Chinese company who didn't know where they came from.

Now his open source system has been perfectly occupied by Kaitian OS, and now it lags behind everywhere.

In this case, they were unwilling to agree to Galaxy Software's conditions and had to form an Open Mobile Alliance on their own. As a result, they were tricked and deprived of their salary...

Seeing that the future of Android is bleak - its patent environment is harsh and the outside world is generally not optimistic about it, Google simply created a branch version of Kaitian OS at the same time. Not only is everything qualified and compliant, but it is also published on Galaxy Network's Github. …

This move left everyone a little confused, so we gathered together today to discuss countermeasures...

Chen Qin was happy when he heard it.

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Lu Rong worriedly said: "But if they do this, doesn't the system we have worked so hard on belong to them? After today's release, Qualcomm and Samsung, which were originally very close to us, seem to be swaying again. They seem to still be Want to support Google…”

Zhao Shiqiang said: "There is no need to be nervous. After all, they are branched from our foundation, so they must abide by the standards we set. And since they are open source, we can also use their modifications."

Lu Rong worried: "What if others will use their distributions in the future and not use our system?"

"There is no way." At this time, Mr. Chen said, "This shows that others have this ability, but we are standing upstream of the open source chain. They cannot use intellectual property rights to restrict us, and their ecology cannot break away from our framework. It is equivalent to their Isn’t that great if you’re doing it for us for free?”

Since Mr. Chen said this, everyone has no objections. After all, although this incident is a bit sudden, it is not actually an accident. Kaitian OS had a plan to bring Google together, and Google had to do it on its own. My own is a bit rude, but this can be regarded as indirectly achieving the goal...

Zhao Shiqiang hesitated: "Then let's just ignore FuschiaOS?"

"Well, just say that Google is welcome to join us. As long as they abide by the agreement, we will not deal with fuschiaOS."

"What about Android?"

"Sue if you have to."

"understood."

The boss said this, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but after Zhao Shiqiang hesitated for a moment, he asked again: "By the way, Mr. Chen, what should we do with our Kaitian OS?"

This time it was Mr. Li who said: "I am mentally prepared. Since we have chosen open source, we can just do our own thing."

After hearing what he said, everyone fell silent. Although today's matter was important, everyone had already been mentally prepared for the cooperation with Google. The reason for the impromptu discussion was actually to complain about Mr. Li and his team—— For the past six months, Mr. Li has been busy working on Kaitian OS, and he sees victory in sight. In the foreseeable future, this system may become the Windows of the mobile phone industry.

As a result, at the last minute, Google intervened again. If their system really came up, it would probably be a good thing for the company, but it would be a bit too cruel for Mr. Li's development team...

Chen Qin listened to them talking and switched the window back to the Weibo page.

It may seem that there is nothing new in open source. Open source has open source rules. Whether it is forking or front-running, they are actually common methods in the open source field. This is very different from ordinary commercial competition. In any case, as long as Google is willing to use their Kaitian os, at least the initial purpose was achieved.

but……

I felt that everyone in the company was a little disappointed, and I saw the little game in the background.

For commercial companies, profit is of course the most important consideration criterion. It should be a reasonable choice to leave things with little profit to others.But even Ah Yue knows that even if making money is the goal, there are other considerations when making decisions. For him, it's almost time...

"By the way, Mr. Li." Chen Qin suddenly said, "I have a few external investor friends who are actually quite interested in this matter. I just happened to catch up today. Are you free?"

Is there anything that cannot be said within the company?

Everyone was a little confused, but Mr. Li didn't object, so Chen Qin pulled him into a new channel called 'Hongshui Technology Seminar'.

"This is a small group formed by a few of our friends. It's not very formal. We mainly discuss news in the industry."

Mr. Li didn't pay attention. There are many such organizations in the business world recently, such as Taishan Seminar, Huaxia Alumni Association, and Alshan SEE. Rich people like to form their own small circles. Although this little Mr. Chen behaves mysteriously on weekdays, , but it’s normal to have your own small circle.

After waiting for a long time, a man named Ji Xianglin came.

"It's just the two of us. There were originally three people in this small group, but one person was injured and fell into a coma. The others are external consultants or something." Chen Qin introduced him, "This is Teacher Ji Xianglin, from the University of Waterloo in Canada. A top student, now working as a trader on Wall Street.”

Mr. Li suddenly realized: "You are the red water fund that has made a lot of noise on Wall Street..."

"Yes, it's us. Why have you heard of it, Mr. Li?" Ji Xianglin said with a smile, "Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles!"

"How can this be a bad thing?" Mr. Li said sincerely, "Xiao Chen is good at doing the Internet. The Kaitian project we are doing is also of great significance to the development of our country's software technology. Without Xiao Chen's business , I don’t even know where this project is now.”

However, Ji Xianglin said: "Although our Red Water Fund has made a lot of money, Mr. Chen has no plans to invest the money back yet. Now we are shorting AIG of Meilican International Group, waiting for them to release last year's financial report."

Mr. Li was not very good at dealing with people in the financial field, and was not interested in what he was talking about. He smiled politely and said, "That's pretty awesome. Meili Jian's Wall Street is so awesome, and now it's defeated by you. It shows that we Chinese people are not weaker than people in developed countries!"

Ji Xianglin said calmly: "A bad thing is a bad thing. AIG is closely related to the society and people's livelihood in Meili. I don't know how many poor people in Meili operate the medical insurance and social security through it. If we destroy it, we will really be ruined by Meili." The King of Hell remembers those who are strong and live long."

Mr. Li asked: "Then why not return to China as soon as possible? There are quite a lot of investment opportunities in our country now."

Ji Xianglin replied: "Isn't there nothing we can do? We have an old friend who did business with us and made 100 billion together. However, he was beaten by Meili Jianren. If we shrink back, doesn't it mean that we are afraid? Are you all beautiful and strong? Now we just want to avenge our old friend, and we have to finish this business, just like raising medical expenses for our old friend."

He said it very easily, and Mr. Li sighed seriously when he heard it: "Beauty and firmness are so unreasonable!"

"Yes, so we can't give them a good look." Chen Qin said, "But our business is almost finished. After a year of hard work this year, Lao Ji and I finally figured it out. Finance, in the final analysis, still has to be integrated into social production. That’s what makes sense. Even if Wall Street doesn’t care about human affairs, it’s not a problem for us to keep messing with the beautiful people.”

Ji Xianglin then said: "So we are also planning to make some investments. Mr. Li, the mobile phone system you recently built is very good. We want to know more about it. Can you introduce it to it?"

Li Nanguang was flattered: "What a shame. If you want to invest, you can invest in Galaxy. I think the Github recently launched by Galaxy is very good. In the final analysis, our mobile phone system is just a small project under Galaxy. "

"No, I just want to invest in you." Chen Qin said, "Galaxy Software is a commercial company. It can now be responsible for its own profits and losses. We don't need to make money from Wall Street to support it."

Mr. Li sighed: "But our project is not a profitable project, it is an open source mobile phone system..."

Ji Xianglin asked: "I heard Mr. Chen say this, didn't he say that open source can also make money?"

Mr. Li introduced: "There are currently three models of open source, one is technical support, one is kernel open source, and the other is project hosting..."

"It seems that everyone can get it, but mobile OS is a very important but very sensitive technology. The money for technical support will definitely be earned by chip and communication companies. Although it is closed source on the surface, the distribution service will be It will fall into the hands of technology companies like Galaxy and Google.”

"As for project hosting, we are not an Internet project ourselves, and Internet projects on the platform will fall to the kind of 'cloud service provider' that Xiao Chen mentioned."

After Mr. Li finished speaking, he apologized: "So although Google still thinks its trademark is valuable and is now coming to compete for projects from us, I have talked with Xiao Chen several times and still feel that the kernel we make has no commercial prospects."

Ji Xianglin listened carefully and nodded: "I don't quite understand the prospects of those Internet business models... But in that case, why do you want to do this project?"

This issue has been discussed before, Mr. Li said: "I am a technician, and I used to do business as a 'technical industry trade'. I think although this is not very profitable, it can provide a reasonable standard for the industry. Software companies like Galaxy also have interests and can help our country increase its voice in international trade, which I think is great."

Ji Xianglin smiled and said: "If this is the case, then it is valuable, and our Red Water Fund is now ready to start some investment projects."

Mr. Li was confused: "So you don't care about the rate of return? That's fine, but the company actually doesn't really need money at the moment."

Ji Xianglin said: "I know what you mean, but the nature of finance, we believe, is always tied to producers. We hand over the resources to more suitable people, so that society can progress and we ourselves can truly To get credit that matches the resources at hand, I think this should be a reasonable deal."

Li Nanguang sounded a little confused and glanced at Xiao Chen who was still there, but he did not raise any objection and seemed not to object to the investment: "So what kind of investment plan is it?"

"It's very simple, just keep doing what you are doing." Ji Xianglin said, "I heard that Google is competing with you recently and is competing with you for the dominance of the mobile phone platform?"

"Yes." Mr. Li replied, "But after all, Google is richer and has stronger technical strength. I originally agreed with Mr. Chen that we can cooperate with Google in the future."

At this time, Chen Qin, who had been silent before, suddenly said: "Don't think so much, Mr. Li, just develop your system. It's actually simple to say, it's that we have no place to spend the money we have earned recently, so just treat it as if we are here Meili Jian has done something immoral, so come back and do some charity."

"Of course, after all, we are talking about business. For this kind of serious research and development project, I know that money alone is not enough. In fact, although we have no need for profit, we do have some expectations for this project beyond the current situation. …”

Mr. Li quickly asked: "You said, in fact, the support of Galaxy Software is inseparable for the success of this project. If you have any requirements, you can just ask directly."

Chen Qindao: "I know everyone is working hard, and there is indeed no economic benefit in continuing to increase investment, but if you want Kaitian OS to become the world's number one operating system, that is to say, try to defeat Google once, Mr. Li How much more money do you think we need?”

　6.8k instead of 4.5k, I still have a net loss of attendance for one day, you guys are making a lot of money, okay (
