"Operating system?" Jim repeated the word with interest, and shook his head regretfully, "Now is not the best time to cut into the computer operating system, Microsoft's Win95 is too successful, and it may be very difficult to shake his position. difficult."
As the initial investor of Netscape and the largest shareholder of the company at present, Jim is Netscape's current commander-in-chief and the decision-maker for Netscape to fight against Microsoft. However, even if he was so proud of it, he knew very well that today's computer operating system was about to be completely shrouded by Microsoft, and any attempt to get involved in profit sharing would be futile and would cause the other side's crazy sniping.
Chen Yuanming smiled slightly, "Who said that the operating system can only be used on personal computers? I think everyone here is well aware of the recent upsurge in PDA research and development, not to mention those projects that are being developed or have failed, only Palm company. The newly released PDA product, Pilot, has achieved remarkable success. In China, a company I have a stake in is also developing a similar PDA product, using the prototype system of the former GO Company, and has also achieved excellent sales results. But Both Palm and us have taken a lot of detours in the R&D system, and this detour is bound to be repeated in other companies. Don't you feel familiar with this situation?"
He paused and looked around at everyone in the field, "Actually, this situation has occurred before, when personal computers were just beginning to develop. At that time, there was no unified computer operating system on the market, whether it was Apple or Microsoft, both It was extremely small. But they jumped at the opportunity, launched their own system, and reached the pinnacle of the personal computer field."
Jim frowned slightly at this point. "You mean... the PDA battle is the new PC battle?"
"It's not just PDA." Chen Yuanming corrected this statement, "It should be called 'mobile communication', this is not only a change at the computer level, but also at the traditional communication level. Today, communication giants such as AT&T have split up With Lucent, it can be seen that the entire traditional communication industry is moving closer to the Internet, the second-generation mobile communication network has begun to appear, and like the PDA trend, this digital communication-based technology will gradually be accepted and widely used.”
This is no secret to all of you here. In fact, the United States is currently struggling with the second-generation mobile communication issue, and there is no winner yet, so more companies are still on the sidelines.
"What do you mean... Make an embedded system? Can some functions be extended to mobile devices such as PDAs or mobile phones. A cross-platform programming language like Java?" Mark on the side also spoke, as the first generation network The creator of the Jingjing browser, this big boy with black-rimmed glasses is also one of Netscape's technical cores, and his response to this topic is naturally swift.
Java is a programming language launched by Sun last year. It is highly respected by the industry because it can be used across platforms. Writing programs in Java has become fashionable these days, and even Netscape's browsers are not immune to the use of this new language.
Chen Yuanming shook his head, "Java is great, but Sun's operating model is not ideal. They made this platform, but they couldn't make any profit from it. From a business perspective, this was a failed attempt."
Saying this in a group of technicians will inevitably lead to a somewhat helpless approval. The computer industry is always so cruel, technology changes day and night, but not every item can bring profit. Who can exchange technology for money, who is the final winner.
"So what we need to try now is to make a new type of operating system for mobile devices. This kind of system should be extremely simple and efficient, with the most basic operating functions, and can generate branches to accommodate the current major 2G systems. communication standards."
Can something like this be developed? Everyone in the room was thinking and came to the conclusion that they could. Whether it is a current mobile phone or a PDA device, the storage capacity is extremely limited. Today's mobile communication requires not omnipotence, but precisely what Chen Yuanming said: "simple and efficient".
But being able to do it doesn't mean they have to get involved. This is a completely new field, different from browsers, and it takes enough persuasion and courage to take this step.
Jim pondered for a moment, and finally asked the key question, "Then how to study such an operating system to ensure that it can occupy the market?"
"Of course, we built this platform together with several major mobile phone manufacturers. Just like the reason why Microsoft can become Microsoft is not because of how good its operating system is, but because it has joined forces with IBM to occupy the market. If the major mobile phone manufacturers stand with us Here, why worry that this platform can't be built."
The dividing point between Apple and Microsoft may be IBM. Microsoft used to be a trivial gadget for IBM, but now he can compete with the Big Blue. This is the magic of the operating system, or the "platform effect". Microsoft occupies the 'window' of the computer through Windows, so can they use another operating system to occupy the 'window' of the mobile phone
Speaking of which, it's not just a question of feasibility. There may be no business wizards here, but they will not lose to anyone in idea research. And the mobile phone is a very wonderful existence. Today, no computer company is willing to pay attention to it. It is too weak and too simple to be taken seriously. But isn't the personal computer of the past weak and simple for a giant server
"We... can try it out".
After a buzzing chatter, Jim made a decision. Becoming the 'next Microsoft' is a temptation no tech company can resist.
"We should try it too." Chen Yuanming changed the word and replaced it with an affirmative sentence. "Everything Netscape has a firm foothold today. Will AOL switch to Microsoft after this deal expires? Will Apple develop its own browser like it does its other software? Not to mention Computer sellers like Hewlett-Packard and Dell, who are already Microsoft’s partners…”
"But when this fragile alliance finally fell apart, we had built a solid platform in the browser space. An existence connected not by profit, but by technology. And the development of mobile phones will allow this window from the Internet. Open a little bigger. Maybe one day, people will get rid of the shackles of personal computers and use more convenient mobile communication devices to communicate and work. At that time, they will find that our systems and software are everywhere... ”
For the purpose of the Internet platform, Netscape has made many changes, such as simplifying the basic browser to make it clearer and simpler; for example, some functions are used as extensions, allowing users to choose and add them; This is a clearly visible path that any Netscape executive can understand and agree with.
"And this, friends, is the platform effect I'm looking for."
Chen Yuanming gave a conclusion with a smile. It is also a brand new and smooth road that will not be sniped by anyone for the time being.
——
"You just kidnapped a system developer?" The laughter on the phone was more than happy.
Chen Yuanming also smiled, "The last time I saw Anxin's annual report, I was thinking about this question. Let Anxin develop the mobile phone system alone, the efficiency is too slow, and it is not easy to go abroad. Only by using a unified standard mobile phone system can It is easier to use Anxin's production capacity."
In fact, this thing also exists in later generations, and has occupied a very long time in the field of mobile phones. Its name is Symbian, an operating platform shared by more than a dozen mobile phone companies. Nowadays, the two countries in Europe and the United States are still fighting for the standard of the mobile phone communication system, and the old mobile phone companies are also concentrated in the European continent, so it is not surprising that the Saipan system was born in Europe. But the future of the mobile phone market is a completely different concept. The addition of Japan, South Korea, and China will definitely make the market more chaotic. If possible, he still hopes that the system can stay under his own name.
Netscape is his most promising partner. The research and development of mobile phone systems is only the first step. The second and third steps are the road to smart phones and real tablet computers. Now neither Microsoft nor Apple has made efforts in this regard. Due to the appreciation of the stock, Netscape has such a huge capital reserve and a real first-class technical force, why not try to make a breakthrough
As long as there is a change in direction, Netscape will face a wider territory, and it is also a key element to connect several companies under Chen Yuanming. When the mobile communication platform is established, not to mention the development of Anxin or Hongshang, the electronic equipment produced by Feiyan in the future can have a promotion stage and jump into the market that has been domesticated more easily. What could be more beneficial than this
"No wonder my uncle couldn't find his eyes when he mentioned it to me." Xiao Junyi sighed, "I really didn't expect you to cut into the chaos of fighting against Microsoft from this angle. Anxin and Hongshang have been developing for more than a year. It is still technically stretched, and it is also a good thing to have a strong foreign aid. Maybe Anxin can leap onto the world stage.”
With the development idea, it is too simple to look at the deployment arrangement. Whether it is Xiao Yun or Xiao Junyi, or the executives of the two companies, they can easily find out the level that is beneficial to them.
"It's just that Netscape's operational strength is not enough. We need to find a better CEO." Chen Yuanming sighed.
Although Netscape has been persuaded to reform both times, it is still too tiring to deal with a group of pure technical personnel with real power. It would be a happy thing to have a genius operator like Google CEO...
"Why, Chen Dong can't take care of it recently?" Xiao Junyi's voice brought out a hint of slyness, "If I fly over to serve at this time, can I get a reward?"
Chen Yuanming blinked, and suddenly realized the meaning of these words, "You are coming to the United States?!"
"That's not it. At the end of the month, my second uncle will be celebrating his 90th birthday. My mother finally arranged a plane and personally called me to go to the United States to celebrate his birthday. Just when you handed the message to my uncle, it became a double mission to explore the way to Netscape... "
This was something Chen Yuanming could not have imagined, that he would meet his lover in a foreign country. His heartbeat suddenly increased, and he took a deep breath, "When will the plane arrive?"
"Can't wait?" Xiao Junyi's voice was full of ridicule.
"Looking through the autumn water."
The answer was so succinct that the voices on the phone paused.
"You brat..." The frivolous smile was wiped away, "After three days, please clean up and wait for me."
(End of this chapter)
The author has something to say: This chapter may seem a little tired and sweaty~~ Simply put, it is to take the 2G route first and then the 3G route, first Saipan and then Android, to create your own platform. So simplified, everyone can understand it. Cough cough~~ Anyway, it is the most idealized deduction (hey)
Nokia acquired all the shares of Saipan in June 2008, so Yuanming did not have the concept of "Saipan belongs to Nokia". Before that, 18 mobile phone companies around the world were using Saipan's system, which was a real achievement at that time. The universal platform that deserves its name.
