Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 255 Victory and Transformation

2 month 15 day.

The patent lawsuit, which has been dawdling for more than half a year, finally came to an end with the judge's hammer.

Zhongxing Group won the two lawsuits. The Shanghai court dismissed the lawsuits of Google, Microsoft, Nokia, and Ericsson on the grounds that Zhongxing Group did not infringe on patents.

Immediately, the Pengcheng Court ordered the four Google and Microsoft companies to infringe on the reputation rights of Zhongxing Group, and ordered them to compensate Zhongxing Group for reputation loss of 647 million yuan.

As for the Sydney company, both parties are now their own people, and they have already settled out of court.

Google, Microsoft, Nokia, and Ericsson had to accept this result.

After all, after Zhongxing Group used Chinese language programming, it was fundamentally different from their patents.In this way, it is impossible to talk about patent infringement.

If Nokia and Ericsson have not suffered any serious injuries, at most they will lose some patent fees and the like.

Then Microsoft and Google will be miserable. With the sudden rise of the Yinhe-Tianhan consortium, Sanxin and Sydney are controlled by Yinhe Technology, and the promotion of holographic projection technology is added.

At present, among the mobile phone operating systems in the world, the Taiwei system of Zhongxing Group has occupied about 46% of the market share. In addition, the Taiwei system under the skin of the Sydney system occupies 21%, and the mobile operating system in the world exceeds one-third. Two of the market share is occupied.

As for the computer operating system, Taiwei system currently accounts for 29% of the world's share, Sydney system accounts for 14%, accounting for a total of 43% share.

And the proportion of microsystems is increasing day by day, although not a few countries are trying to prevent the monopoly of microsystems.

However, Google's Android system and Microsoft's system are not strong enough. The computer systems of government agencies can still be mandated, but the equipment in the hands of private individuals cannot be forced to be replaced, right?
In particular, they also advertise that they cook lard in a dish, so it is even more impossible to do so.

The promotion of Taiwei system has brought another huge impact, that is, the problem of programming language.

Taiwei system must use Chinese language programs to maximize efficiency and fit.

If a transcoder is used to transcode an English-language program into a Chinese-language program, it will not only fail to maximize efficiency, but also cause the program to be prone to loopholes and defects due to the mismatch of fit.

Another very troublesome problem is that the software testing platform of Zhongxing Group is all in Chinese. To use the software testing platform, you must use translation software or understand Chinese.

But this kind of trouble is not too big, it is another thing that makes those foreign programmers complain, that is the fee for the software testing platform and the core idea of ​​​​Chinese language programming.

The identity of the Zhongxing software testing platform is in the same line as other Yinhe Technology group companies, that is, 1 Chinese yuan can be directly exchanged for 1 US dollar.

The charging standard of the software detection platform is determined according to the number of vulnerabilities. A vulnerability notification is 100 Wah, and a corresponding solution is 1000 Wah.

Of course, there are discounts such as yearly or monthly subscriptions. The problem is that the price is not expensive for domestic users, but it is not friendly for foreign countries. A bug costs US$100, and the corresponding solution costs US$1000.

It is impossible for a software to have hundreds of bugs from development to use, especially those large-scale software.

What's more, if you patch this loophole, it may bring out another loophole. In this way, it will cost tens of millions just to check for loopholes and fix loopholes.

As for not using it? If a company is willing to endure a drop in efficiency dozens of times, then it doesn't have to.

Anyway, those domestic Internet companies are now unable to stop, and their dependence on software testing platforms is increasing day by day. Many programmers have already used software testing platforms habitually.

If they are asked to stop the software detection platform now, and then catch bugs manually, it may feel similar to those drug addicts.

And the trend of stocks is blowing to the Internet industry all over the world.

……

Milijia Guge Company Headquarters.

The founders Brin and Page are back in charge of Google, while the former president Angus has resigned. As for the idiot R&D director Daniel, he has also been kicked out.

And Yang Shuli, who resigned before, not only returned to Google, but also became the chief technical officer.

Page looked at this month's market report, and put the report on the table with an ugly face:

"Yang! Tell me your opinion!"

"The performance of our system cannot compete with the Taiwei system, unless..." Yang Shuli hesitated to speak.

Of course, Brin knew what Yang Shuli meant, that is, to use Chinese language to reprogram the operating system, and he was also quite embarrassed:

"Yang! Does your technical department have a way to bypass the patents of the Stars Group?"

"Mr. Breen, I'm very sorry! No one can do this."

No wonder Yang Shuli said this, mainly because the Stars Group took advantage of foresight and artificial intelligence to register patents frantically in less than half a year. As of February 2019, the Stars Group and other group companies of Galaxy Technology , A total of 14 software-related patents have been registered.

Now on the Chinese language program, any programming technology that may be used will more or less involve the patents of the Star Group.

What's even more frightening is that there is an automatic detection program in the underlying program of the Taiwei system, which will automatically detect whether the software has legally obtained the right to use the patent.

If it is legally obtained, everything will be fine. If it is used without authorization, Taiwei System will first prompt the software publisher to tell them how many patents have been used without authorization and how much patent fees need to be paid.

As for wanting to play hooligans? Then wait to be banned by Zhongxing Group and get a lawyer's letter!

In fact, the software testing platform has its own patent testing, so the software developed by using the software testing platform generally knows how many patents it has used and how much patent fees it needs to pay.

If you knowingly commit a crime, any company that intentionally violates the patent three times will be entered into the permanent blacklist of the Star Group, so that you will never have to pay patent fees in the future.

Page is also a headache. The Star Group has so many patents that people can't avoid it. In addition, there are also patents of Dongtang Internet such as Qiandu, Penguin, Ali, and ByteDance. The sum is like a mountain.

Of course, there is another way to avoid paying patent fees or to pay less patent fees, and that is patent offset.

Patent offset, as the name suggests, means that both parties have the patents that the other party needs, and then reach a consensus to authorize each other.

The problem is that Gu Ge currently has only a handful of Chinese language patents. Compared with the number of patents of Zhongxing Group, it is simply a world of difference.

"Brin! Brother Gu can't go on like this. We must use Chinese language programming to restructure the operating system, otherwise we will be eliminated sooner or later."

"I agree." Brin also knew that now was not the time to act impulsively.

"Yang, I agree to use the Chinese language to develop the operating system, so go ahead and do it!" Page ordered.

"Mr. Page, Mr. Brin, I suggest transferring the programmers from the Dongtang branch to the headquarters, otherwise the R&D progress may be fundamental." Yang Shuli suggested.

Page and Brin glanced at each other. The two of them have been exposed to Chinese language programming these days. If this thing does not have the advantage of native language, it is really very difficult to do.

Don't think that translation software is free, especially professional translation software, whose price is more than ten times that of ordinary translation software.

As for Guge’s own translation software, it’s okay for general translation, but if it’s used for professional Chinese translation, it might be a scam.

So now they have to use the professional version of Zhongxing Translator.

The two thought for a while, then made up their minds, Page nodded and said:

"I agree to transfer a group of programmers from the Dongtang branch, and the headquarters will also recruit more programmers who understand Chinese."

"Those who are not suitable, let's cut it!" Brin added.

As for the unsuitable people? Of course, those Tianzhu people or black skins. If it weren't for the fear of being hated, Brin and Page really wanted to drive all these people out.
