Jim Bellsley left happily. He was optimistic about the future of icqmu private cplayer and mp3. In his opinion, icq and icqmu private cplayer will inevitably become one of the most important pillar products of LIM in software, but he never expected that after his unreliable boss made a guarantee with him, he forgot about this matter in a blink of an eye... Lin Zheng was enthusiastically entertaining an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Linuxtorvalds, the father of linux.

"Lin, congratulations on inventing a great software. You have changed the history of mobile phones as only a communication tool. I think the Nobel Prize Selection Committee should give you a medal."

Linuxtorvalds The linux father looked at Lin Zheng with full of envy, jealousy and hatred, and said to Lin Zheng half extremely and half jokingly.

Of course it is necessary to envy, jealousy and hate: Why can I only make some hard money by writing Linux after working hard, and this guy easily turned his company into the most well-known Internet company today?

Someone waved his hand modestly, "torvalds, don't say that, you have to know that icq is just taking the lead...torvalds, we are old friends. This time you came to me, are you going to tell me some ideas about Linux?"

"That's right," Linuxtorvalds sighed and looked at Lin Zheng with a little confused: "To be honest, Lin, see how Windows is performing in the market now. Look at the slow development of Linux in the past two years, and then look at your IQ that has gathered nearly 200 million users around the world in just a short period of time. Sometimes I also doubt that the linux spirit I insisted on before is correct?"

Lin Zheng didn't expect that he had already stimulated the father of Linux who insisted on freedom and sharing spirit to this end. He felt a little disgusted. After hesitating for a while, he finally decided to meet Linuxtorvalds with frankly: "This...torvalds, do you want to listen to my true thoughts or do you hope I will just treat you as you please?"

"Of course it's the truth," Linuxtorvalds glared: "Lin, I always thought we were real friends. How could you answer me like this? Do you know. I'm very sad."

"Okay, since you said that, I'll just say it," Lin Zheng nodded, looked at Linuxtorvalds and said frankly: "torvalds, the first thing I want to say is that I admire your attitude towards Linux, but to be honest, I don't agree with your views on the spirit of the Internet."

"Hmm?" Linuxtorvalds frowned. Lin Zheng's words made him feel a little uncomfortable. In his opinion, the core spirit of the Internet is sharing and freedom, but now Lin Zheng, a guy who is considered his best friend, told him that he does not agree with his views on the spirit of the Internet. But Linuxtorvalds is one of the few high-IQ geniuses in the world after all. After hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded: "Well. You said."

"In my opinion, the spirit of the Internet is limited sharing and limited freedom. Marx said that labor creates wealth, and wealth is valuable. Each of us is relying on the Internet to survive, and we are also creating value for the Internet, but you think that the Internet should be free and shared, which is equivalent to denying our own value..."

Before Lin Zheng finished speaking, Linuxtorvalds interrupted him unceremoniously and said, "But that's what I did."

"You are right. Not only do you do this, but all the linux system enthusiasts with you as the core do this. But torvalds, you can't ask everyone to do this just because you and you believe in this concept. This is unfair to them. Do you remember what I told you during the last conversation? You are not alone, you have to be responsible for your parents, your lover and your children. If someone gathers around you because of Linux, you have to be responsible for their lives. You can't ask them to pay for their own pockets, free and voluntary work. This is unfair to their families. Look at how many of the people around you left?"

"I'm really wrong..."

Linuxtorvalds' eyes were a little confused. Lin Zheng said these words to him once in 1996, but Linuxtorvalds did not take them to heart at that time, but Linuxtorvalds did not take them to heart at that time. At that time, the whole world was talking about Linux. Even Microsoft's Windows regarded its Linux as a great enemy. At that time, I was so ambitious that I wanted to drive Windows from the position of the boss of the desktop operating system. But so long has passed, what about the actual performance? Windows still dominates the desktop operating system. Linux can only gain a little market share in the server field, and its living environment is even worse than Unix, because Unix is ​​charged, while Linux is free...

"torvalds, you have to affirm the value of your labor," sighed and Lin Zheng said: "Even if you donate all the money you earn to the International Red Cross and International Children's Charity, you cannot deny the value of your own labor. You can't make money through Linux, but you should not stop countless programmers and software engineers who want to make a living by relying on Linux. They are the foundation of Linux."

"...Is that true?" Linuxtorvalds' tone became more and more confused.

Lin Zheng smiled, and did not answer directly, but asked linuxtorvalds with a smile: "Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

Yes, Linuxtorvalds has indeed had the answer in his mind.

It is obviously impossible to develop and develop the Linux system, but it is impossible to take the Windows path. This means that Linux cannot do without thousands of programmers and software engineers, but because it cannot make money from the Linux system, software engineers and programmers engaged in Linux system research have a lot of mobility. More than 90% of people come in with curiosity and do not have the idea of ​​treating this system as their own career. There are few cornerstones at the bottom, and the development of Linux is naturally slow.

"You are right," after a long silence, Linuxtorvalds finally smiled bitterly and looked at Lin Zheng, "Maybe I have realized this a long time ago, but I just refused to admit it... Maybe the development path of icq is the most suitable for me."

The development path of icq mentioned by Linuxtorvalds is the most suitable for Linux. Of course, it does not mean that you will make money by charging membership fees in the future, but through a series of value-added services. Lin Zheng understood this point and nodded with a smile: "I am very happy if you think so. What do you plan to do?"

But when he said this, Lin Zheng couldn't help but feel a little confused: under his own tricks, the father of Linux, changed Linux from free to paid charges. I wonder how history will evaluate himself in the future? Will he scold himself for being so bloody?

Unit history will not record its own conversation with Linuxtorvalds this time.

"I need to think about it..." With a wry smile, Linuxtorvalds said to Lin Zheng: "You should be able to figure it out that this conversation has a big impact on me."

"I can understand," Lin Zheng nodded, nonsense! This conversation was almost equivalent to changing the brains of Linuxtorvalds. It was a hell of a loss: "But I have a request..."

"You said!" Before Lin Zheng could talk to play, Linuxtorvalds said happily: "If you need any help, just speak up."

"That's it, you know, Moros is studying how to move the Linux system to a mobile phone and develop a smart mobile phone operating system based on Linux."

linuxtorvalds nodded: "Yes, I know this."

Not only did linuxtorvalds know, it also provided a lot of valuable references to Morosili.

Speaking of this, linuxtorvalds was stunned: "You mean..."

"Yes, we are going to move this system to our mobile phones, but Molosi encountered some difficulties in the research process, which was very difficult," Lin Zheng specifically emphasized the degree of this difficulty: "With Molosi's attainment in Linux, it is almost impossible for her to go around, so I hope you can help her. As a Linux operating system specially customized for you, IQ company is willing to pay you a sum of money... We can negotiate how much it is."

However, linuxtorvalds did not agree immediately. Instead, after a silence, he asked Lin Zheng: "Lin, I remember you told me that the future will be the world of smartphones?"

"That's right, not only did I say that, but I still stick to this view now." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
