Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker.

Chapter 217 Are you OK

Teacher Xiao Zhao spent a very small amount of money to absorb Linnard into the CITIC Open Source Lab, and also recruited more than a dozen technical staff such as Cesar Ramirez and Guido Guieri.

Lynard is the founder of the Linux system, while others have contributed to the prosperity of Linux and made outstanding contributions.

In the China Foundation Building on Hong Kong Island, the entire 47th floor was purchased by CITIC. From the large platform on the northeast corner, you can see the beautiful view of the entire Viloria Harbor.

There are many foreigners on Hong Kong Island, and many of them speak English. The cultural gap that Linnard was worried about has not appeared.

But he was more worried about something.

"Will Zhongxun make Linux an open source software?"

Zhao Guoqing nodded. He personally received Linnard and said: "Linux is of course open source software. Each version of ours will be placed on major FTP servers around the world for everyone to download. At the same time, everyone in the world can develop Linux. !”

"This requires a lot of money, what is Zhongxun doing for!"

Zhao Guoqing said: "For world peace!"

"..."

Linnard has completed the development of the Linux kernel, but Teacher Xiao Zhao is not satisfied yet.

"Linux needs a graphical interface and needs to be paired with a GUI graphical interface."

"This is a trend!"

The threshold required for the command line mode is too high, and Linux requires a fool to operate.

"What is a fool's errand?"

Zhao Guoqing said: "Even a person without any basic knowledge of computers can easily use the Linux operating system!"

Well, it is a bit difficult for them to design the graphical interface by themselves. Teacher Xiao Zhao used his own experience in Windows and Apple systems to design a status bar. The small icons on the status bar represent some basic functions.

"Need to integrate TCP/IP protocol!"

"Disk management can refer to My Computer in Windows system."

"Double-click the file to browse, click to browse the status or other operations!"

……

"Requires 16-bit color display with a resolution of at least 800*600!"

Linnard said: "Mr. Zhao, we can achieve all the requirements you mentioned, but unfortunately, not many microcomputers can run such an operating system!"

Zhao Guoqing said: "GUI graphical interface is the future development direction. It can't run now. Maybe the next generation can, and we can also install it on a minicomputer, right?"

"..."

After settling in Linnard and others, Teacher Xiao Zhao also made a special trip to the capital.

As early as two years ago, Comrade Qiu Bojun developed the wps1.0 software, which runs in the DOS environment. Once launched, it received a lot of praise and sold tens of thousands of units.

Teacher Xiao Zhao made an appointment with Comrade Qiu Bojun at Wangfujing Hotel. Qiu Bojun was only twenty-six years old at this time. When Zhao Guoqing asked about his age, he was two years younger than Comrade Xiao Zhao. He had a Chinese-shaped face, was very honest, and had small eyes. Perhaps because he stayed up late, he looked a little sleepy.

"Mr. Zhao, I have heard of your name a long time ago! I didn't know you were looking for me..." Comrade Xiao Qiu was a little excited.

Zhao Guoqing said: "Mr. Qiu, am I here to ask you for help this time?"

"Mr. Zhao?" Qiu Bojun said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

After all, Kingsoft Company was too small compared to Zhongxun, and Zhongxun was well-known, so Comrade Qiu was a little nervous.

Zhao Guoqing poured a glass of water for Qiu Bojun, and secretary Cheng Weidong handed Zhao Guoqing a document.

Zhao Guoqing said: "Zhongxun has developed an operating system, and we hope Kingsoft can cooperate with our system to develop a set of office software."

Zhao Guoqing handed the file to Qiu Bojun and said: "This is the program interface file. The bottom is the ftp site address of the software released by Zhongxun. You can download it directly for testing!"

Zhao Guoqing took out another document and said to Qiu Bojun: "This document is our Zhongxun's specific requirements for WPS..."

Qiu Bojun opened it and was stunned. Zhongxun had a lot of requirements for WPS, and it was a full thirty-seven pages.

From small indentation, font editing library, page, quick modification, prompt, taskbar design... to large text table design...

This is not a request, it is simply a redesign of WPS!

Qiu Bojun's hands were trembling a little and he said to Zhao Guoqing: "Mr. Zhao, Zhongxun can completely make office software better than WPS based on this document!" Zhao Guoqing shook his head. He had too many troubles. Just now, Mr. Mu followed Director Liu has called me. He is very busy with the company's affairs, as well as the military. By the way, there is still a big stall in Chengdu, and he still has the team leader there!

Zhao Guoqing said to Qiu Bojun: "Can Jinshan do it?"

Qiu Bojun nodded, shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhao, I can do it, but..."

"But what?" Zhao Guoqing asked!

Qiu Bojun shook his head helplessly and said, "If WPS integrates so many functions, I'm afraid it won't run very well on a microcomputer!"

Zhao Guoqing said: "...!"

Qiu Bojun brought Zhao Guoqing to Jinshan Company. Qiu Bojun complained that Chinese people were unwilling to pay for software, even in their units.

“Most of WPS’s sales are still on Hong Kong Island!”

Zhao Guoqing said: "Then how does Jinshan make money?"

"Jinshan Hanka!" Qiu Bojun picked up the Hanka sample in his hand!

Zhao Guoqing said: "Do you need money?"

"?"

Qiu Bojun believed that Jinshan could be worth five million yuan. Zhao Guoqing smiled and did not counteroffer. He immediately took out a check for five million yuan and said to Qiu Bojun: "I personally invested five million yuan into Jinshan's account. Now Jinshan is worth one Ten million!"

"Mr. Zhao, you have obtained 50% of Jinshan's shares!"

Zhao Guoqing shook his head and said: "I only want 30%, and the remaining 20% ​​is up to you. That's it for Hanka. Don't invest in R&D anymore. Develop WPS..."

Qiu Bojun shook his head and said: "Mr. Zhao, WPS has no future. Chinese people will not pay for software!"

Zhao Guoqing shook his head and said: "Who said I only focus on the domestic market and can also sell to foreigners!"

"Besides, if Chinese people don't want to buy software, why don't we give it to them for free?"

"Free!" Qiu Bojun was confused. What do you mean? How can you make money for free? How can a company survive without making money?

Zhao Guoqing smiled and said: "The basic functions are free. If you want more advanced functions of WPS, you have to continue to pay!"

"..."

Zhao Guoqing said: "Mr. Qiu, the free ones are the most expensive!"

"what!"

……

Jinshan is not everything. Zhao Guoqing found another three-color company in Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park that was on the verge of bankruptcy.

At the entrance of the company, a group of people were blocking the door and asking for money!

Zhao Guoqing saw Comrade Lei Jun at a glance.

"Are you OK?"

"..."

As early as two years ago, when Lei Jun was still in his senior year, he started to establish Sanse Company with his classmates Wang Jinguo, Li Ruxiong and others.

Their product was an imitation of Jinshan Hanka, but then a larger company appeared and pirated their product.

Moreover, this company can make similar products in larger quantities and at lower prices. Sanse Company is having a hard time, let alone running the company. Even in their daily lives, they are facing a situation of waiting for rice to be cooked.

Comrade Xiao Lei is seven years younger than Zhao Guoqing. This kid is a genius in software. The programs he wrote are still called classics forty years later.

Just after graduating from college, Lei Jun started his own business and co-authored the book "In-depth DOS Programming" with his friends.

In the next two years, Lei Jun dabbled in a wide range of topics, writing encryption software, anti-virus software, financial software, CAD software, Chinese systems, and various practical gadgets.

He also did circuit board design, soldered circuit boards, and even worked as a hacker for a period of time, decrypting various software. At this time, Lei Jun was amazingly talented.

Over the past two years, Lei Jun became acquaintances with the bosses of various computer companies and became a very famous figure in Zhongguancun Electronics Street.

It's a pity that this kid later grew crooked, became obsessed with capital, tricked Meizu and started building mobile phones.

I also thought about DJI coming to OEM to manufacture drones... I was ridiculed like a dog.

Money was made, but the original genius disappeared and Lei Jun became mediocre...
