Chapter 1272 Really don't understand, or pretend to understand?
Lianchuang Technology will open SDK to allow more software developers to develop software exclusively for Linux smartphones, and the news that the IQ store will be launched soon. As soon as the news came out, not only domestic software developers were excited, but software development studios in Europe and the United States were also very excited......≦...≦
Instead of having to use the now fully open source desktop linu operating system, Lianchuang Technology's linu mobile operating system is paid limited open source, but it is precisely this that everyone is more excited: paid means that everyone has money to make money, which is much better than the current desktop linu free. European second-tier mobile phone manufacturers with keen sense of smell, such as the UK O2, France Sachim, etc., even came to the door to seek the possibility of cooperation between the two parties.
Microsoft is a little unable to sit still with Lianchuang Technology's big fanfare approach. They are not without comparing their own Windos Poket2002 with Lianchuang Technology's Linux. Even Bill Gates has to admit that Lianchuang Technology's Linux system is much easier to use than Microsoft's Windos Poket2002, and is full of Eastern wisdom everywhere. Bill Gates personally called Lin Zheng: "Lin, you are not kind to do this."
"Hahaha..." Bill Gates, who could force him to call him to talk about this matter in person. Lin Zheng laughed happily: "Bill, don't be so excited? I think it's a good thing for both of us to compete, let alone the entire North American smartphone market belongs to you Microsoft, right?"
Bill Gates also smiled. Lin Zheng's words were correct. The US Congress has passed legislation banning the sale of mobile phones from China in the United States. Although the previous legislation did not clearly stipulate that mobile phone operating systems from China were also within the scope of prohibition, this is just an amendment, which is not a problem: "Okay, let's not talk about this, Lin, someone asked me to convey an intention to you."
"Hmm? You said."
"If you are willing to give up developing CPUs, they are willing to convince Congress to build a CPU manufacturing plant in your China and invest in a 10-inch wafer production line."
10-inch wafer production line? Lin Zheng smiled: Are some people starting to worry now?
Although Lin Zheng has always paid attention to keeping confidentiality, he also knows that Lianchuang Technology's decision to cooperate with the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to develop a central processor cannot be concealed. There is no way. At this stage, there are too many "leaders" and I wonder how many people want to use this news to smile. In order to persuade themselves to dispel the idea of developing CPU, the US government is also working hard enough. Even the 10-inch wafer technology is willing to come up with.
The 10-inch wafer production line is the most advanced wafer preparation technology at present. Now there is an inter master of this technology. Even the king of semiconductor foundry TSMC is only proficient in 8-inches. According to the technical roadmap released by TSMC, 10-inches will not be mastered until the end of next year. However...
"Bill, is there any misunderstandings?"
"Misunderstanding?" Bill Gates' tone was a little surprised, or rather, pretending to be surprised.
"But Inter plans to invest in a wafer factory in our country, and they just invest directly. What does it have to do with me? Are they planning to cooperate with me?" Lin Zheng asked with a smile: "Or or is the US government relaxing restrictions in this area?"
In terms of semiconductor technology, the United States is strictly guarding against China. If it weren't for the Arm company, Lianchuang Technology would not have the opportunity to acquire Arm shares back then. In this way, US lawmakers have jumped out countless times to clamor for the British government that the United Kingdom had confiscated the arm shares held by Lianchuang Technology... Fortunately, Lin Zheng reduced the arm shares held by Lianchuang Technology to 20% through a diversified holding, otherwise these guys would definitely go crazy.
"Lin, this joke is not fun," Bill Gates said helplessly: "You know this is impossible."
"That's it." Lin Zheng said, "Since it's not good for us, why should I take care of the opinions of some big shots... Well, but Bill. You tell the directors of Inter that Lianchuang Technology will not make desktop-level CPUs, we are using embedded systems' central processors."
"Don't you make desktop-level CPUs?" Bill Gates' voice sounded surprised: "No? It seems that your central government officials hope you make desktop-level processors."
"Bill, is this interesting?" Lin Zheng sighed and despised Bill who was pretending to be in front of him. Gates: "Don't tell me that you don't know the CPU of the MiPS architecture is essentially a streamlined instruction set processor. Can the Windows system perfectly support the streamlined instruction set architecture? Without Microsoft's support, what's the use of our development?"
Indeed, Bill Gates was convinced by Lin Zheng: That's right, for Lianchuang Technology, if it doesn't get the support of Microsoft, which has dominated the desktop operating system, what's the use of Chinese people even if they develop desktop-level CPUs? Are they used to run the Linux system? To be honest, although Linux is coming in a fierce manner around the world, Microsoft has not taken Linux into consideration the former free and open source of Linux. In Bill Gates's opinion, it seems a bit threatening, but now the linu torvalds guy is actually planning to charge for the Linux system, which is simply a rhythm of seeking death.
"Okay," Bill Gates sighed helplessly: "I will tell my friends in Inter, but Lin, your linu mobile operating system..."
"Don't mention this," Lin Zheng blocked Bill Gates's mouth without hesitation: "Bill, if you want to make money, I also want to make money. I always think that our friendship is friendship and business is business."
You want to talk to me at this time? I'm not stupid, man.
Lin Zheng said this to this point, and Bill Gates couldn't say anything else, so he had to surrender: "Ok, OK, but Lin, my friend, I can tell you in advance that if you lose a lot in the future, I hope you don't cry."
This guy! Lin Zheng laughed, but I don’t know who is crying. Whether it’s now or in the future, whether it’s Windows poket PC or Windows phone, Microsoft’s market share in the mobile operating system has always been a scumbag. Want to compete with yourself? You Bill Gates is not a god.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zheng's face suddenly sank.
Although I never expected such a thing to be hidden from Americans, the Americans' actions so fast were still somewhat beyond Lin Zheng's expectations. He was really afraid that some leaders would cancel the Loongson CPU or Shenwei CPU for the sake of the inter 10-inch wafer factory.
Can't wait any longer!
Picking up the phone, Lin Zheng called Hu Wei: "General Manager Hu, it's me."
"Mr. Lin, I'm just calling you," Hu Wei on the other end of the phone sounded a little depressed.
"What?" Listening to Hu Wei's tone, Lin Zheng's heart sank.
"The leaders in the hospital still tend to build the dragon core into a desktop-grade CPU," Hu Wei's voice sounded particularly helpless: "They think the embedded dragon core is not high enough."
"How could it be? Didn't you tell them that the processor of MiPS architecture cannot get support from Microsoft? Without Microsoft's support, what's the use of even if it is developed?" Lin Zheng wanted to jump to the point. Damn what logic is this? In the eyes of some people, desktop-level CPUs that can compete with Inter, Amd and via are products with high standards, and embedded CPUs are things that have no standards?
"I said it," Hu Wei's tone became more helpless: "But isn't China Science and Technology Research Institute planning to develop a Hongqi Linu system based on Linux? The leader means that Loongson can be perfectly matched with Hongqi Linu..."
"Damn!" Before Hu Wei finished speaking, Lin Zheng sweared: Let the Loongson and Hongqi Linu system be matched? How bad is the leader who thought so? He can even think of such a weird idea? "Have they never thought about the application level?"
"The leaders said that after Loongson and Hongqi Linu are launched, software developers will develop the Linux version of the software." Hu Wei's tone sounded powerless to complain.
"..." Lin Zheng was also unable to complain. The leader who said this either did not understand the ecological chain relationship of this industry, or even pretended not to understand... In Lin Zheng's opinion, it is more likely to pretend not to understand on purpose.
"So what do the comrades in our research team mean?" Lin Zheng asked after taking a deep breath.
"This..." Hu Wei hesitated for a moment, subconsciously lowered his voice: "Everyone thinks that the prospect of developing desktop-level CPUs is not very good."
No one is stupid. If you do scientific research, it does not mean that you cannot see the development of the times. The more you roll in this industry, the more you understand the strength of the "in-ter" alliance: these two companies join forces to almost block the possibility of every semiconductor company entering this market. If Amd had not been supported by the local tyrants in the Middle East and the "in-ter" alliance, considering the factors that avoid anti-monopoly prosecution, it would have long been unknown how many times they had died.
So, what should I do? (To be continued.)
