In fact, regardless of whether the server operating system makes money or not, this field must be firmly grasped. Even if it is really impossible to achieve the goal through normal channels in the future, then simply follow the free method to drive competitors out of the market.
It's just that it has not exhausted its capabilities yet, and the current situation is not that bad. At least at the technical level, Fanxing Software Company is still in a leading position.
Unix's adoption of the free model has only stabilized their own position. To say that they have not yet been able to launch a massive counterattack, they themselves know that the current situation is difficult to break.
So next, both parties will focus on the next generation of server operating systems. With the technical strength of Unix, it is still possible to reach the level of the current server operating system of Fanxing Software Company with hard work.
Fortunately, Fanxing Software Company also understands this truth. If it wants to take advantage of the next competition, it must come up with a more shocking and subversive operating system, form a crushing trend, and drive the other party out of the market in the shortest possible time. .
Try not to get yourself into a tug-of-war. Not only will you not make money, but you will invest a lot of energy in maintaining it, which may affect other businesses below the company.
Moreover, if the market is lost in the field of commercial server operating systems, it will have a great impact on my country's current enterprise software ecosystem. It may not be seen in the short term. In the long term, it is likely to slowly lose its advantageous position.
It's not that their operating system will ban our enterprise software, but that before they release the operating system, they often obtain relevant technical information internally and can make the layout quickly.
Taking one step first will not be particularly obvious in the traditional software field, but taking each step first will gradually make the advantages obvious, and eventually our country's good software development situation will fall apart.
This is why Zhao Yi believes that in an emergency situation, one must be prudent even if one does not make money, and gradually win over the market. By then, one can no longer care about the gains and losses of one city or one place.
Just like our country's Internet companies, it is because we have developed the basic technologies ourselves and established relevant theoretical construction ourselves, which has led to us taking the lead in the Internet field.
Let alone Zhao Yiyi providing guidance on the Internet business, even without his guidance, our country would be ahead of other countries in the Internet field. This is due to the leading advantage.
The same method is also used in the mobile Internet. By mastering smartphones, mobile communication technologies, etc., we also have the upper hand on the mobile Internet and cut the fattest cake in advance.
However, judging from the current level of software in our country, there is still no way out. At least we are in an advantageous position. As long as we continue to expand our technological advantages and bring out the effects of our technological advantages, our competitiveness will still be very strong.
Tool software is just a large classification. Due to the large number of software types involved, it can only be summarized by this name, including industrial software, engineering software, semiconductor software, scientific research software, personal tool software, etc.
Not to mention those personal entertainment tool software, there are hundreds of types of high-complexity software systems with a certain weight, making it a veritable kingdom of tool software.
For example, office software, in terms of technical difficulty, is not even ranked among these high-level tool software and is classified as personal tool software.
Fanxing Software Company is now conducting a comprehensive upgrade of its tool software. The main change is the addition of artificial intelligence core to comprehensively improve the efficiency and performance of these tool software, and the functions have also been greatly enhanced.
However, these intelligent tool software will not be promoted to the outside world immediately, but will be used first in brother companies. On the one hand, it is to maintain the advantageous position of brother companies, and on the other hand, problems can be better discovered during the use process.
This method has been used all the time, keeping the best to oneself, and then pushing the internal old version to the market. Moreover, in doing so, the tool software products brought to the market are often more mature, because these software have gone through extremely large-scale development. verify.
And his companies are also willing to be this guinea pig. On the one hand, they have confidence in Fanxing Software Company, or in the technology provided by the boss, and on the other hand, they can continue to maintain their leading edge by doing so.
Obtaining greater benefits while taking necessary risks, as long as the risks are controllable, is something worth doing. At least the effect of doing so before was quite obvious.
Now that the core tool software of artificial intelligence has been added, the degree of evolution is much higher than before. It is no longer a simple upgrade, it can be said to be a qualitative improvement.
Moreover, for a long period of time in the future, these intelligent tools and software will not be easily introduced to the market. Instead, existing tool software will be regularly upgraded.
Mainly because the generation gap between intelligent tool software and ordinary tool software is too big. According to the current level of the global software industry, there is no need to come up with such a powerful killer.
Although in the field of tool software, many software systems have very high technical content, in terms of market size, they are not as good as general-purpose software.
Although Fanxing Software Company has hundreds of software tools, its total revenue is only about 200 billion yuan, of which personal software revenue accounts for a large proportion, such as office software.
In addition to making these tools and software intelligent, Fanxing Software Company is also stepping up its cloud transformation. This work is actually almost completed, and will be released one after another after the Chinese New Year.
Not all tool software will be cloud-based. The most typical one is the semiconductor industry software category. First, there are countless users around the world, and cloud-based software will not bring much increase in customers. Second, due to the need for data confidentiality, semiconductor companies will not Choose cloud-based products.
Cloud-based products are mainly aimed at products such as office software and image processing software, which have low data confidentiality requirements and have huge market expansion potential.
Moreover, after these products are cloud-based, they can provide more value-added services. For example, templates, themes, etc. in office software can be sold for money, increasing the company's income.
At the same time, the cost of using regular functions is reduced, the user base is expanded, and the revenue of service-based products is increased. In the final analysis, it is to use Internet thinking to operate traditional software products.
The total of these three software businesses has allowed Fanxing Software Company's operating income to exceed the 2 trillion yuan mark. If this news is spread, I don't know how big a sensation it will cause.
No one thought that the software field, which was looked down upon before and was called a vassal of hardware, would have such a large market size and be even more profitable than those industrial giants.
Of course, Tan Delin, the person in charge of Tianshu Machinery Company, is lucky to know the operating income of Fanxing Software Company, otherwise he would have been mercilessly hit again just when he felt proud.
To be honest, Zhao Yiyi did not expect that Fanxing Software Company would perform so fiercely last year, which exceeded his expectations. The enterprise software field, which he thought was relatively stable, suddenly exploded, even more rapidly than before.
But when you think about it, you feel relieved. Enterprises are completely the product of marketization. The market competition may not have been so fierce before, and traditional ways of running enterprises were considered the norm.
As Fanxing Software Company's enterprise management software is used by some enterprises, the competitiveness of these enterprises has been improved and they have become more dynamic in the market.
This naturally attracted the attention of other companies. Companies that had not purchased the enterprise management system of Fanxing Software Company before had to choose to purchase related services, otherwise they might be at a competitive disadvantage in the market.
This phenomenon has actually spread to the field of tool software. After all, the goal of tool software is to improve work efficiency and increase per capita output. There is still a clear competition between using and not using it.
Therefore, this has led to the overall scale of Fanxing Software Company's tool software to have increased significantly compared to before, directly doubled several times, and the growth rate is not lower than that of enterprise management software.
Now many of their tool software have become essential software in many industries and have formed de facto industry software standards, such as scientific research auxiliary tool software, and the data generated have become strong credentials recognized in the scientific field.
As for office software, there were some competitors before, but now those competitors are gradually withdrawing from the market, because the Matthew Effect is very obvious.
Office documents require frequent communication. When you write a document and hand it to a client, but find that the other party does not have the office software you use and cannot open it, then there will be a serious communication barrier.
The existence of this kind of communication barrier must be annoying to customers, so software products that occupy a dominant market position will naturally become everyone's common choice, and those office software with a small market will naturally die out.
Therefore, Fanxing Software Company now has advantages in many software fields. As long as it is not complacent in the future, always pays attention to customer needs, and understands market dynamics, it will not be easily defeated.
In addition to these traditional businesses, Fanxing Software Company has placed its next business development direction on autonomous driving technology. According to Liao Xingkai’s report, L3 level autonomous driving has been technically achieved.
In addition to testing L3 level autonomous driving on all road sections, developers are now allowed to develop higher-level L4 level autonomous driving.
Due to its relatively high intelligence technology and the strength of its sister companies, Fanxing Software Company's autonomous driving is targeting the L3 level from the very beginning.
In order to meet the needs of different grades of automobile brands of Shenlong Automobile Company, the current L3 level technology will be decomposed and downgraded to L0, L1, and L2 levels to form a high-middle-low-low matching plan.
It’s just that the current road test has not yet been completed, because autonomous driving technology involves personal safety issues and must be much stricter than ordinary products. In fact, the road test is not short. According to L3 standards, it has actually reached the standard.
However, in order to provide more road test data for L4 level autonomous driving, this work has not stopped. A large number of test vehicles are still dispatched to run across the country and in various large, medium and small cities.
Therefore, so far, Fanxing Software Company's autonomous driving technology has not been actually applied to Shenlong Automobile Company's automotive products, and naturally it cannot bring them operating income.
However, Liao Xingkai also mentioned that starting from the second half of this year, Shenlong Motors will gradually use autonomous driving technology in its new vehicles, which is good news for Fanxing Software Company.
This will not only bring new profit growth points to Fanxing Software Company, but also enable them to obtain more data and provide more data support for their current L4 level autonomous driving technology research and development.
According to Zhao Yi's standards, only L4 level autonomous driving can be considered true autonomous driving technology. Previous autonomous driving technology was just a child's toy.
If L4 level autonomous driving technology is coupled with road assistance facilities, it is not impossible to achieve L5 level autonomous driving capabilities, at least on highways.
By then, long-distance drivers will no longer need to maintain a high degree of mental stress at all times, and the accident rate will be greatly reduced. However, before that, relevant autonomous driving assistance facilities need to be transformed on highways across the country.
In fact, the self-driving technology developed by Fanxing Software Company is a local self-driving technology and has certain friendly application scenarios for low-speed driving. However, for high-speed driving, some safety issues will arise.
Because driving solutions based on local data collection have certain limitations and are limited by sight distance, in high-speed driving environments, safety accidents may occur before the driver can react.
This is why previous generations emphasized the role of 5G in the field of autonomous driving, because collecting data from sensors outside the local area can provide more decision-making data support for local autonomous driving technology, thereby avoiding safety accidents.
Therefore, if you want to realize autonomous driving technology in high-speed driving scenarios, you must have low-latency, high-communication, and high-stability network support. Otherwise, it will be difficult to achieve a higher level of automated autonomous driving.
Judging from the current development of mobile communication networks, there is still a long way to go to upgrade to 5G level. Zhao Yi will not deliberately improve the technical standards of mobile communication networks and update them in advance in order to support autonomous driving.
Even if Hengtong Communications Company and Huawei Technology Company come up with 5G technology, operators around the world will not launch it immediately. After all, their early investments must be recovered, otherwise their operations will not be sustainable.
Moreover, with the current level of economic development, consumers cannot afford the forced launch of 5G, and the market capacity cannot be expanded. This is part of the reason why operators are most resistant.
Therefore, the self-driving technology of Fanxing Software Company is destined to only drive at low speeds, and the maximum speed cannot exceed 80 kilometers per hour, otherwise the accident rate will increase significantly.
Fortunately, the global satellite communication network he is planning to build can solve this problem. In turn, the application of autonomous driving technology can also provide more user needs for his global satellite communication network.
I haven’t thought about it carefully before, but now after hearing the relevant report below, I think carefully about how necessary it is to build a global satellite communication network, not just to make money for myself.
Because more businesses and applications can be carried out around high-performance global satellite communication networks, it will greatly promote social and economic development.
If our country wants to achieve per capita GDP reaching the standards of developed countries, it must achieve overtaking in a corner. If it develops step by step, it will take decades to complete.
What he did before was to use advanced development ideas to develop many technologies that were not of this era. The effect was also very obvious, allowing our country's annual economic aggregate to successfully reach the top.
In the next step, if we want to catch up with GDP per capita, we still need to work hard in the field of new technology applications. One of the foundations for the development of technology applications in the new era is high-speed wireless communication networks.
The only solution now is to build a global satellite communication system and achieve wireless network communication quality above 5G in advance. This is a feasible path.
It's just that with the global satellite communication system technology he handed over to Future Space Technology Company before, it is still close to achieving this goal. It must be upgraded, and some parts even need to be redone.
The previous technical standards were equivalent to 4G level and had limitations in many application fields. For future development in the field of Internet of Things, 4G level is far from enough.
If this happens, the cost of building the entire system will skyrocket. The previous 2,000 satellites seem to be a bit insufficient, and the number of satellites must be expanded.
Because if you want to achieve the goals of high bandwidth, high load, and low latency, the electromagnetic frequency must be as high as possible. In the previous 6G standard, the electromagnetic frequency reached the terahertz level.
Therefore, his global satellite communication system must also increase the electromagnetic frequency to this level. However, the higher the electromagnetic frequency, the smaller the coverage area. In order to achieve global coverage, more satellites must be used to complete this task.
Increasing investment is not a problem, but in this way, the advantages of his global satellite communication network will become more obvious compared to the current mobile communication network.
If the previous pricing strategy is still adopted, will it take away more customers of existing mobile communication operators? This is not what Zhao Yi wants to see, but if the price is too high, ordinary people will not be able to use it. It's a rather tricky question.
Skipping this topic, Zhao Yi is more concerned about the promotion of new programming languages. According to his understanding, the replacement of new programming languages within his enterprises has been done very well. As for the situation outside, he is not Special understanding.
Since part of the virtual machine of the new programming language directly bypasses the operating system and drives directly on the hardware to obtain higher running speed, the effect is indeed very obvious.
Fanxing Software Company takes advantage of this feature and plans to directly use the new programming language to write their new operating system. Although it seems that the workload is very huge, they think it is worth it.
Compared with the traditional C language, the new features of the new programming language are more attractive. It not only reduces the difficulty of programming, but also can directly implement a certain degree of intelligence in the new language, which is impossible for other languages.
Although the intelligent part of the new programming language will not be open to the outside world, the intelligent part can be shielded at the level of the operating system being written so that the outside world is not aware of it, which also has the effect of confidentiality.
The server operating system they are writing now does this, and the intelligent core of this operating system is built from the intelligent modules of the new programming language.
If this programming language is used at the operating system level in the future, the promotion effect will be even more significant. In the future, it is likely that all software running on the operating system of Fanxing Software Company will use this programming language.
As for the current development situation, it is actually not bad, because his software companies and Internet companies are global giants. They themselves are fully using this new programming language, and naturally they have been followed by other software companies.
Moreover, these companies themselves have mastered a large number of heavyweight software applications and systems, and these software products, using new programming languages, have more prominent functions, run faster, and the effects are very significant.
In addition, they have cooperative relationships with colleges and universities around the world, and they also have great advantages in cultivating new programming talents, so overall they are doing well.
It is still difficult to compete with traditional software programming languages, because it takes a certain amount of time for new talents to grow up, and there is no way around it.
It is his software company that has conducted high-intensity training and learning courses in order to master the new programming language as quickly as possible and completely replace the previous programming language.
In addition to dedicating a certain amount of time to study every day, even if you have two weekends off, you must also dedicate a day to study and receive training, and carry out learning sharing activities with colleagues.
Fortunately, people in this era are not so pretentious, and their work is relatively easy. No one is resistant to this kind of additional tasks. Moreover, as the strategic direction of corporate development, if you cannot keep up, you will probably lose a lot of opportunities.
Anyone who is slightly motivated will not refuse the opportunity to improve themselves, and the company will also provide certain subsidies, which makes them even more satisfied.
Of course, if you can't keep up with the company's development, you won't be fired under normal circumstances, but you will definitely lose a lot of opportunities. It is very likely that your colleagues who were originally in lower positions than you will be promoted faster than you.
As for outside companies, most are still learning and have relatively few actual uses. Most still use the traditional C language to write software because this is the lowest cost.
As for the language conversion tool, it is currently not open to the public and is limited to the use of his companies, because if this tool is released, the enthusiasm for learning new languages will be even lower.
This is just like translation software. With translation software, people are reluctant to learn the languages of other countries, and it does not affect communication anyway.
Overall, he is very satisfied with the performance of Fanxing Software Company. He has nothing to give guidance on their future plans. He just needs to proceed according to the current plan.
In the past year, not only did they set a new record in revenue, but while carrying out multiple research projects, their profit margins did not drop much, and their net profit margins still reached 60%.
Originally, personnel costs accounted for the majority of software costs, but in this era salaries are generally low, coupled with the large number of user groups, further increasing software profit margins, resulting in terrifying net profit margin data.
Fanxing Software Company now has 1 million employees worldwide. Although it looks very large, according to their revenue, it is really not worth mentioning.
Because the salary cost of these employees is less than 5% of the total revenue, but the average value created by employees has reached 2 million yuan, which is definitely first-class in this era.
The reason why it can create such high per capita value is mainly because of the many leading technologies and efficient tool software provided by Zhao Yi, both of which are indispensable.
China Housing Corporation previously borrowed trillions of yuan from banks, but the profits of Fanxing Software Company alone wiped out this huge loan.
Previously, Zhao Yi proposed to dismantle the various software businesses of Fanxing Software Company and form numerous subsidiaries. Each subsidiary would arrange one of the most competitive businesses to achieve the purpose of spreading attention.
Therefore, Fanxing Software Company now has hundreds of subsidiaries. If it is evenly divided, the average profit of each company is only tens of billions of yuan, which is not particularly conspicuous.
Although it is a bit deceptive, as long as anyone is careful, they can find out the tricks, but the goal has been achieved, at least now the attention of Fanxing Software Company is much lower than before. (End of chapter)
