Chapter 906 Don't fall into the pit of the operating system

Liu Chen's words shocked Zhou Hongyi very much.

Release the PC version of Longba system!

It's really too unique. Whether it's Microsoft, Apple, or Google, they are transforming from PC systems to mobile terminal systems. Can it work in the opposite direction? After all, PC systems are much larger than mobile terminal systems.

Can China actually create a PC system? This has always been a big dispute.

Over the years, Huaxia has achieved certain achievements in the field of operating systems and has also developed some domestic operating systems. However, the installed capacity of domestic operating systems is still very small, which has caused corresponding application development: without chicken laying eggs, there is no problem of egg laying chicken.

Without applications, no one is willing to use domestic operating systems; without anyone is willing to use operating systems, no one is willing to develop applications. Therefore, the situation of domestic operating systems is still very embarrassing.

Why can't China make a decent operating system? In short, no company is willing to put in real effort in the research and development of operating systems. It consumes too much money and has no profit. The operating system cannot generate profits at all, and the rate of return is very low. What product is Microsoft's most profitable? The office series, not the operating system, actually the operating system has always lost money.

In addition, China's biggest problem is that they act independently and have a poor sense of cooperation.

There are more than a dozen terminal operating systems in China, and there must be too many. This will cause too much internal friction, and the result will be difficult to achieve. If the terminal operating system cannot be released, resource dispersion is very fatal.

Liu Chen said: "The biggest problem of Huaxia's technicians is that they would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail; the three monks have no water to drink, which means they have a poor team spirit. In the information field, this disadvantage also exists. Of course, Huaxia has very excellent individuals, which are not worse than any country. As long as they play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and give full play to China's talent advantages, it is not difficult to create an operating system."

Zhou Hongyi still felt it was unnecessary, and this was probably a foolproof move.

"Microsoft has an absolute monopoly. Apple's operating system is obviously better than Microsoft, but because it is not open source, it leads to the lack of application software. Good coins are driven out by bad coins, and Microsoft eventually becomes the overlord."

Zhou Hongyi kindly reminded that it doesn’t matter if the search engine competition fails, and the operating system is a big pit, and there is no return rate at all.

"With domestic strength, it is certain to be able to produce an operating system. This problem does not mean that there is no problem that programmers can write, but that it is thankless from the most fundamental problem."

"Indeed, when the Microsoft ecosystem has formed a monopoly, it is difficult for new operating systems to develop." Liu Chen smiled relaxed, "But we have a wise government. Our China is not satisfied with being a big network power, and the goal is to become a strong network power. In addition, we have security needs, and some industries are very willing to make their own special systems. I have communicated with the government information security department and jointly developed the system and promoted it has great advantages. As long as our system is compatible with current applications, it can develop."

Seeing that Liu Chen could not convince him, Zhou Hongyi was very anxious. He was very grateful and respected Liu Chen. He really didn't want Liu Chen to be too blind and be too arrogant and fell into the pit.

After Liu Chen left, Zhou Hongyi thought for a long time and asked her assistant to collect and analyze a bunch of data as quickly as possible. Then she sent an email to Liu Chen, hoping that he could measure it again and dispel the idea of ​​entering the PC operating system.

An operating system is a relatively difficult program, and it does not mean that no one can write it out. There are not many companies in the world that can develop a complete operating system. Simply put, there are several reasons. One is that the cost is too high, and writing a complete operating system is time-consuming and laborious. It takes three to five years. If you have more than ten years of research and development, you can develop an operating system. There may not necessarily be good results when you come out.

Moreover, new companies have no history and experience accumulation, so it is easy to take detours on this. So the returns brought by large-scale capital investment in the early years are still uncertain. No company will be stupid enough to do this.

After more than ten years of investment, you may not necessarily make money. Don’t talk about the values ​​of domestic companies and programmers. No one abroad will do it. After all, no one is a fool. Companies need to make profits. No matter how rich you have, you will not just take out the money and burn it for fun!

The second reason is that there is no good ecological chain.

Whether it is a mobile operating system or a PC-side operating system, it is necessary to use it for users. Then a complete ecological environment is needed. When a new operating system is developed, if it can be used by other operating systems ten streets in seconds, then users will be able to use it. The key is that there are several new companies that can say that the system I developed can kill Microsoft? If a system like indos98 is developed, which is behind indosvista for a long time and is not known by indosvista in seconds, then who will still use your operating system?

If you make a similar system, the most important thing is software. Who would use this new system without software? First of all, the system is low in popularity, fewer users, who would develop software in this new system? What does it mean to have no support systems with various software? Then there will be fewer users. In this vicious cycle, even if you take the emotional route, you will still have to die. The system that is ahead for this reason and the one who is still struggling gives companies who want to make an operating system blood reminder.

The third reason is that it is useless.

It is not that the development of new systems is unnecessary. The development of new systems is very necessary. However, due to the above reasons, even if it is developed, it is very difficult to get market recognition. After the market recognizes the software, it still needs to gradually increase the number of support for new systems, which is difficult for any company in China to support. Even if Microsoft has been working on systems for so many years, isn’t it still difficult to develop a new operating system? There is no need to develop a new operating system, and there is no reason.

After Liu Chen saw it, he laughed it off. It was too late. The reverse development of the PC version of Longba system has already started. What will be the effect? ​​Of course, he needs to use a hardware computer to release it together.

With good relationships with Apple, iPhone dominated the US market, Longba completely occupied the Chinese market, and European markets have long formed a tacit understanding. This time, Liu Chen wanted to challenge the Microsoft system, and Jobs was the first to support it. Apple system lost to Microsoft. Jobs has always been resentful about this, but Microsoft has become a big trend and Apple has no choice.

In the Chinese market, Apple is willing to install the PC version of Longba system on Ma again.

Lenovo, the largest PC manufacturer in China, has long formed a tacit understanding with Liu Chen. Lenovo's factory computers will no longer be pre-installed, but will give customers a Longba system CD. Whether to install or not is up to the user to choose, which is not a violation of the agreement with Microsoft.

Even so, it is still not enough.

In fact, the GB-based products have cultivated a large number of loyal high-end fans, and the call for launching a computer is actually very high. Therefore, the research and development and optimization of computers have been carried out long ago, and it is destined to be another popular product that crosses the ages.

January 1, 2008, New Year's Day.

2008 was an unusual year for the entire China.

The GB system is about to hold a press conference again.

Many company bosses trembled in their hearts, and I don’t know who is going to be unlucky again.

In fact, since 2003, the GB system will kill a competitor as long as it holds a press conference. In 2005, it helped Ba E-commerce defeat the joint strangle of Alibaba and Jiangdong E-commerce and create a myth through three hot product launches.

Damn, I kept it strictly confidential before every press conference, which made everyone not know what to say, and they looked at it with wide eyes and nervousness, for fear of affecting their own industry.

Li Yinhong was very nervous, and he pretended to be relaxed: "Our share on the PC side is as stable as Mount Tai, and Liu Chen has no choice but to push 360 rubbish out, it's just a joke."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Li is right."

"That kid is too exhausted."

"I don't think this press conference is a big hit."
