Chapter 461 Do you want to cooperate with them?
Just using other manufacturers' hardware and systems to make a computer is not the goal of Xu You and Luo Wenkun.
Of course, even if it is just a so-called "assembly machine", there is still a lot of technology in it.
However, if you cannot keep the core technology in your own hands, you will eventually face the risk of being "cut off".
"Actually, to put it bluntly, there are two core technologies in computers. The first is the computer chip, and the second is the computer's operating system. It's not that other technologies are not important, but these two technologies are the most important.
The key underlying basic technologies. If these two core technologies can be solved, the remaining problems can be solved slowly," Luo Wenkun said.
With the gradual rise of the domestic chip industry, solving the problem of computer chips is no longer as out of reach as it once was.
"As for the chip, I will develop an EDA suitable for computer chips, and then we can start designing the chip. In fact, compared to the chip, the problem of the computer operating system is more difficult to solve."
"Yes, computer operating systems are indeed much more difficult to develop than mobile phone operating systems." Luo Wenkun nodded.
Speaking of which, the difficulty in developing a computer operating system does not lie solely in the system itself.
It is certainly difficult to create a computer operating system that is stable, efficient, and easy to operate.
But if they really try their best, Microsoft and Fruit Company are not the only ones who can do it.
The more difficult thing is the establishment of a software and hardware ecosystem.
The same piece of software requires a separate running version for each operating system.
If there is no market support, just an operating system will not be able to run any software on the market.
"Wen Kun, the difficulty you mentioned is not just in the research and development of computer operating systems."
"Yes, there is also the issue of software adaptation. On the mobile phone system, we adopt a similar approach to Xia Wei, so that the mobile phone system can be adapted to Android, so that users do not have to worry about the software being incompatible with the system.
It’s a problem. But the same method is difficult to use on a computer operating system.”
Xu You turned his eyes and felt that this problem was not unsolvable.
"Actually, I think that even if we build a new computer system, there will be many manufacturers willing to cooperate with us. After all, Fulong Technology has achieved such great success in the fields of mobile phones and chips, and our strength is obvious to all.
. Cooperate with us and take into account the trend of the general environment.”
"Well, there shouldn't be much problem with domestic companies cooperating with us. But I'm worried that those foreign companies, especially Western companies, will target us as before. After all, if Fulong Technology connects computers
The territory has also been occupied, and the blow to them will only be greater."
"If they really don't cooperate, we will develop our own software. Fulong Technology started with software, and software is not a problem for us. We are not afraid of a few manufacturers not cooperating, and we will take advantage of it.
With this opportunity, we can develop more powerful and better-used software and make their glory history."
It is obviously impossible for Fulong Technology to directly create a complete ecosystem.
However, if you only make a few software and conquer them one by one, it is not that difficult.
"Okay, let's make this decision for the time being. Then we will set up a project to study computer chip and operating system solutions, and then communicate with major manufacturers about customizing software to adapt to our system. Now the company's accounts
The funds are very abundant, and a large amount of funds can be used for technology research and development."
"What I can do is try to help the company save some research and development costs."
"Yes, when it comes to bringing the company to this stage, Xu You deserves the most credit. I have the final say in the entire company, but I only listen to you." Luo Wenkun said with a smile.
…
Within Fulong Technology, after a meeting was held regarding the company’s intention to enter the computer industry.
The employees involved in the project started to get busy one after another.
The marketing department has started business exchanges with major software and hardware manufacturers.
As Xu You and Luo Wenkun expected, all domestic manufacturers, as well as some foreign manufacturers, are very positive about cooperation with Fulong Technology.
They believe that Fulong Technology can develop a personal computer that will dominate the international market, and are willing to develop adapted software for Fulong Technology's systems.
However, some Western manufacturers did not immediately agree to cooperate with Fulong Technology, and their attitude was very vague.
This includes Microsoft Corporation.
Microsoft Corporation is the world's largest computer software provider and the world's leader in personal computer software development.
It has always been at the forefront of the rankings of major companies in the world.
"What? Fulong Technology wants to enter the computer industry and develop its own independent computer operating system? Are they really going to follow the example of fruit companies?"
"Yes. Not only that, they also asked us if we are willing to develop a software version suitable for their computer operating system."
After hearing the news, everyone couldn't help but dumbfounded.
The two most proud products of Microsoft and Microsoft are the Windows system and Office software.
In order to adapt to Fulong Technology's system, it is obviously very unreasonable to develop another version of Office software to seize the market share of Windows.
What's more, Fulong Technology is a company from China. Unlike Fruit Company, it is an American company like Microsoft. It is reasonable to customize an adapted Office software for Fruit.
Of course, even the macOS version of Office software is definitely not as easy to use as the Windows version.
"It's impossible. We will never customize software for Fulong Technology that is suitable for their computer systems. Not only us, but other manufacturers should not do this. This is likely to shake the status of Windows systems in the world.
"
After some discussion, everyone unanimously stated that they would reject Fulong Technology’s request for cooperation.
In addition to Microsoft and Microsoft, many Western companies have also received cooperation invitations from Fulong Technology.
Like Microsoft and Microsoft, they also expressed resistance to cooperation with Fulong Technology.
Just when they wanted to reject Fulong Technology's request for cooperation.
But I was told a new news.
"President, we have been asked to agree to cooperate with Fulong Technology."
"Agreed to cooperate with Fulong Technology? Why?"
