Chapter 1269 Form a group to brush Microsoft
Huang Yongqin was speechless.
Then he thought about who he was facing. For a business owner who can spend more than 1 billion US dollars in R&D funds every year in the field of semiconductor technology, the little money to buy a supercomputer is really nothing: the price of Shuguang-3000 supercomputer is only more than 20 million US dollars. For the wealthy boss Lin, this little money is indeed not a big money.
Chen Zuoning pursed his lips and glanced at Lin Zheng enviously: If my unit could have a supercomputer... No, let alone a supercomputer, it would be even better if there was an advanced medium-sized machine.
The most advanced machine in the 56th Institute is also a medium-sized machine purchased 6 years ago. With the rapid development speed of electronic computer technology, the performance of the medium-sized machine 6 years ago is slightly stronger than that of a small machine. If it weren't for the 56th Institute, it would be a joke to the point where the 56th Institute lived.
But Boss Lin didn't know what it was to be low-key, so he paused and added: "But if the cooperation can be achieved, the computing resources in the semiconductor business unit will not be enough, and another mainframe will have to be added."
Huang Yongqin and Chen Zuoning rolled their eyes: Are you showing off? You must be showing off!

Not to mention how Huang Yongqin and Chen Zuoning were anxious and went back to report to the leaders of the General Staff to the results of their meeting with Lin Zheng. Just talking about Lin Zheng, he is also very busy now.
Lianchuang Technology has made the envious eyes of other domestic mobile phone manufacturers... including smartphones equipped with Linux systems and ja&va semi-smartphones...
They do not have such strong technical strength to develop their own smartphones. At the same time, the open technology diffusion policy implemented by Lianchuang Technology also allows them to obtain the technology they want from Lianchuang Technology at a low cost. Now seeing Lianchuang Technology eating meat in the smartphone market, how can they still bear it? Member companies of the entire mobile phone industry alliance require Lianchuang Technology to provide official letters of smartphone technology and fly to Lianchuang Technology like snowflakes.
Some old friends of Lin Zheng rely on their good relationship with Lin Zheng. They not only called Lin Zheng to ask if he had any intention to spread technology, but also said in a roundabout way that if Lin Zheng was willing to narrow the scope of technology diffusion, they were willing to pay more in terms of technology licensing fees. Everyone was a monkey spirit and monkey spirit. If one competitor was missing, they could make more money by themselves. It would be even better if Lin Zheng could be convinced to spread the technology to only two or three companies.
"You really plan to spread only two or three?" Tan Na leaned on Lin Zheng's desk and asked curiously: "Why? Because of Loongson and alpha?"
Based on the technical difficulty of smartphones and ja&va semi-smartphones, Tan Na knows very well that Lin Zheng will not spread smartphones and semi-smartphones too much. After all, Lianchuang Technology still needs to make some money on smartphones.
"Well," Lin Zheng nodded: "You also know that now everyone has no objection to the fact that the CPU of smartphones uses the arm architecture or the PPS architecture, or the alpha architecture, but if we strongly support arm now, it will be a big problem for the entire industry to form a complete industrial chain based on arm, it will be a big problem to turn around."
"It makes sense..." Tan Na nodded, but she was also a little worried: "But what should Microsoft do? They are ready to do a big deal in the smartphone market. We don't have much time left for us, right?"
"Microsoft is really hard to deal with." Lin Zheng nodded. Microsoft has never been easy to deal with.
Microsoft's covetousness in the smartphone market is well known to everyone. Since the release of Windospoketpc2000 in April 2000, Microsoft has not concealed its ambitions for the mobile phone market. Although Windospoketpc2000 can only be used on handheld computers and cannot be used as a smartphone operating system, it is an operating system for handheld computers. Windospoketpc2000 is undoubtedly much better than Apple's "Newton" system. With poketoie, poketinterplorer, poketmediaplayer and file infrared transmission, these four swords are supported. Especially the mobile version of Oie, it can allow users to seamlessly connect Oie files to the computer side and the handheld computer side, allowing Windospoketpc2000 to gain a considerable share in the smart handheld electronic terminal market.
The success of Windospoketpc2000 gave Microsoft greater ambitions. In October 2001, Windospoketpc2002 was officially released. This is the first handheld computer operating system under Microsoft that supports mobile phone functions. With Windospoketpc2002, Microsoft has become one of the only three companies in the world to master smartphone operating systems.
"So we have to win over more allies to have the opportunity to compete with Microsoft."
Lin Zheng's eyes were extremely firm, "Whether it's MiPS or Alpha, it must be finalized as soon as possible, otherwise we will be our arm honestly. As for allies... what do you think of Kingsoft?"
"Kingsoft? You said wps?" Tan Na pondered for a while and finally nodded: "Okay, Kingsoft is a good partner. Isn't the Windospoketpc system opening up in the market so quickly because it is equipped with poketoie and poketintereporer? If we can also carry wps, this shortcoming will be filled, so what do you mean is. Let's cooperate with Kingsoft?"
The web browsers equipped on Lisheng's mobile phones are more useful than the poketintereporer installed on Microsoft's Windospoketpc2002. This has been verified by time. As early as the era of feature phones, Lisheng's mobile phones used the icq client function to carry a web browser named icqeplorer. After years of optimization, Lin Zheng dared to say proudly: In the field of handheld terminals, Lianchuang Technology's web browser is the best.
It's not bad in the era of ja&va semi-smartphones. Since the advent of mobile phones equipped with Linux systems, more and more users have expressed their hope that this smartphone can be equipped with Oie software... Of course, it must be seamlessly connected with the Microsoft Oie they use... This requirement is not only from China, but also from abroad. In the face of the crowd's calls, Lin Zheng must not be indifferent.
Lin Zheng nodded: "Yes."
"Can Kingsoft agree?"
Lin Zheng said: "Kinshan is not having a good time now. The mobile version of WPS on our smartphone is for money. I think as long as I am not stupid, I will definitely cooperate with us, right?"
Kingsoft Software and Qiu Bojun were cheated by Microsoft. During Kingsoft's destiny in 1994, the number of WPS office software users exceeded 10 million, accounting for 90% of the Chinese word processing market. WPS was installed on almost every computer, but Kingsoft Software made a serious mistake that year: they reached an agreement with Microsoft, which logged in to China, that is, under the Windows system, through setting up, Kingsoft's WPS office software and Microsoft's Oie office software can read each other's files. This agreement became the turning point for WPS from victory to decline. By being able to read each other, and with the stolen and stolen version of the Windows operating system that Microsoft secretly acquiesced and even encouraged, Microsoft successfully transitioned most of the WPS to its own users. The market share of WPS plummeted.
But that's not all. Just when Kingsoft Software was preparing to use the windos95 platform to launch its own wps97 to compete with Microsoft, Microsoft quickly launched windos98. The launch of indos98 is of course a blessing for computer users, but it is a blow to Kingsoft: the wps97 they designed based on windos95 needs to be pushed back most of them.
Although WPS97 was finally released in 1997, it was too late. With the various stolen and stolen and even secretly encouraged by Microsoft, Kingsoft's market share of WPS has shrunk to an extremely pitiful level. If it weren't for the opportunity to join WTO, Kingsoft had launched a government procurement method. With the help of the government platform, Kingsoft might have gone bankrupt at this moment, but even if WPS is barely still holding on, it would have just been a breath.
This is exactly where Lin Zheng believes that Kingsoft will be with him: If you ask Bojun, you will never have any grudges against money, right?
"But we have not even confirmed the architecture of the CPU that is equipped with smartphones in the future." Tan Na frowned, and she was a little worried about Lin Zheng's idea: "In view of Kingsoft's current situation, it is enough for them to develop an opportunity x86 desktop Oie software. Do you still expect them to develop three mobile Oie software based on arm, MS and alpha architectures at the same time?"
"Actually it's not that difficult. Arm, MiPS and Alpha are both streamlined instruction sets. You can learn from them in many places during development, and... what do you think we should keep the arm architecture?"
"Keep the arm architecture?" After a little thought, Tan Na immediately understood Lin Zheng's meaning: "You said we will promote both the arm and the PS/alpha architecture smartphones?"
She thought quickly.
If the arm architecture is retained, there are many benefits for Lianchuang Technology. Not to mention the factors of asset preservation, the biggest advantage is checks and balances. Whether it is cooperation with the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the future or with 56 affiliated with the General Staff, there are arm in hand, even if everyone's future cooperation is unpleasant, Lianchuang Technology has enough means of coping, and this one is enough... Although she has never considered giving up arm before, she still believes that the focus should be on PS or alpha.
"I don't know much about technology, but will it be difficult? Will there be any problems with compatibility?" Tan Na asked after thinking for a moment.
"That's not. Are they all streamlined instruction sets? It's difficult, but not very big." Lin Zheng said that most Android software can run smoothly on the arm architecture and x86 architecture. Although the stability of the x86 architecture is not good, at least most Android software can run smoothly on these two architectures. There is no problem with both architectures with such a large span, and it is naturally even more problematic for the streamlined instruction set.
"Then let's do it together with Arm and MiPS/alpha." It was confirmed that the problem was not big and there was almost no hesitation. Tan Na immediately made a decision, which was the most beneficial to Lianchuang Technology. However, she was a little worried about Lin Zheng's decision to spread the technology of smartphones in a limited manner: "You really decided to spread only three companies? Others who have not obtained technology will definitely have opinions, right?"
Unlike Google, which spreads Android for free worldwide, Microsoft often has more than 200 per Windows system license fee, and Apple does not spread its own iOS system, Lin Zheng has specified a low-price spread strategy for the Linux mobile phone system. As for the reason, of course, it is because Lianchuang Technology and Google's business types are different, even today's IQ also provides search services.
Lin Zheng smiled proudly: "Only three of the most powerful companies have spread out, as for the others, if they are interested in smartphones, we can provide OEM services."
Don’t you want to sell your own brand of smartphones? No problem, but your current technical level cannot develop your own smartphones. Otherwise, we Lianchuang Technology will directly give you an official label. Just print your brand logo, which is your company’s smartphone. Then you can use this phone to brag about how powerful your technology is. How about it?
Do you think it's good? Even in terms of price...haha, everyone can understand that the price of OEM for such a high-tech product is a little higher, right?
