In the face of Wu Zhaopu's query, Linus could not answer. He is confident that he can do well, but it doesn't mean he can do it. In particular, this almost involves the lifeblood of the whole "second world", which makes Linus have a great pressure.
How to face the difficulties of "Microsoft" for the whole "second world"—— Linus has no way, can't think of a way.
"I..." Linus was speechless.
"Boss, since even minister Linus is not sure, I propose not to add so many people for the time being. I think 200 people might be enough. Depending on the situation, we can add more staff in the future! " Wu Zhaopu suggested.
Linus was shocked when he heard the speech. If there are only 200 people, it will be too few, far from the bottom line of talents he needs to develop an operating system comparable to Microsoft. You know, "Microsoft" develops an "XP" but there are 5000 people, only 200 of them. How can this work!
"Mr. Lin, if you really want to break that window, 1000 people are the minimum!" Linus screamed.
In fact, 1000 people want to develop an operating system comparable to "Microsoft", which is really very reluctantly, very reluctantly. But all the operating systems of "Microsoft" have many unnecessary functions, many of which users may not be able to use in their lifetime. Therefore, Linus wants to get rid of those functions that can't be used for ordinary use, which will not only reduce a lot of development time, but also save costs. Therefore, Linus only put forward the requirement of 1000 people. But now 200 people, that's not enough!
"Boss, it's not wise to provoke Microsoft rashly!" Wu Zhaopu also argued.
Lin Feng saw that both of them were in a hurry. He reached out and motioned for them to be quiet and let them think about it.
In the whole meeting room, I heard the sound of Lin Feng's fingers knocking on the table. Everyone held their breath and looked at Lin Feng quietly. In the second world, Lin Feng's prestige is unparalleled. As the founder and largest shareholder of "second world", people can't disobey Lin Feng's opinions.
Boss, it's not that I don't support you this time, but it's really about life and death—— Wu Zhaopu knows that Lin Feng is very optimistic about Linas, but this time it really concerns the life and death of the "second world"“ "Microsoft" is too powerful to resist.
I hope you don't let me down, Mr. Lin. As long as you believe me, I will try my best to return your trust—— Linus cried in his heart.
"Boss, ministers, have a cup of tea, please!" At this time, Lin Zhiling was very observant and gave everyone a cup of tea or coffee to ease the tension at the scene.
After a cup of tea, Lin Feng's fingers on the table stopped.
Everyone looked at Lin Feng and knew that Lin Feng had made a decision.
"Ladies and gentlemen, no matter what happens in the future, I know that our destiny can only be in our own hands!" Lin Feng said.
With a frown, Linus felt happy.
"Therefore, I will never let Microsoft control our destiny!" Lin Feng raised his voice and said, "therefore, the" system R & D department "must be established, and the operating system we said ourselves must also be developed!"
The crowd looked at Lin Feng and said nothing. Since Lin Feng chose to break the window, people also believe that Lin Feng will not fail to understand the horror of "Microsoft". In this case, they want to see how Lin Feng can fight against the power of "Microsoft" and the coming counterattack.
"Of course, Microsoft's counterattack is also extremely terrible. We can't easily kick Microsoft's ass! So we have to find a way! " Lin fengxiao said.
When they heard the speech, they laughed.
"I suggest that we not announce the news of Linus joining our company for the time being, and that our company sponsor a" Linux summit "in the name of Linus, inviting all Linux designers from all over the world to come to Shanghai to attend the summit. In this summit, we can take the opportunity to absorb these programmers for our use. We can not put it under the company account for the time being, but let it set up an organization. " Lin Feng smiles.
Wu Zhaopu smell speech, slightly aftertaste, eyes a turn. This is a typical way of sneaking through the past, but it's a wonderful way. In this way, I am afraid that "Microsoft" will be kept in the dark for a long time, and they will have enough time to develop, so as not to lead to "Microsoft" retaliation too early.
Linus also agrees. In this way, he can take advantage of this "Linux summit" to attract "Linux" talents from all over the world. After all, with his reputation as the father of "Linux" and Lin Feng's financial support, as well as the global "Linux" people's common resistance to the hegemony of "Microsoft", Linus believes that he will succeed!
"It seems that everyone agrees with me!" Lin fengxiao said.
The crowd looked at each other and applauded in support.
"Boss, I'm convinced you. I'm afraid only you can come up with such a plan. I'm really convinced!" Wu Zhaopu was greatly impressed.
The crowd also sighed. Only Lin Feng can play this kind of trick of "sneaking in the dark" and "stealing the dragon to turn the Phoenix". Even Microsoft dares to design it and can design it.
Linus especially nodded heavily, so that he could not only absorb talents without any interference, but also absorb enough excellent talents. For a long time, there has been a lack of similar exchange meetings in the "Linux" industry. This is mainly due to financial constraints. After all, "Linux" is completely free. After all, if you want to challenge "Microsoft", you can only compete with "Linux" by being free. Because it's completely free, all "Linux" R & D personnel are voluntary and have their own jobs. Because of this, there are few similar "Linux summit" activities, and most of them communicate with each other through the Internet, and face-to-face communication is rare.
This "second world" investment, Linus believes that there will be a lot of "Linux" talents to come, when it will be a "Linux" grand gathering. It's exciting to think about the global "Linux" elite gathering. Linus has been interested in many designers who study "Linux" for a long time and always wanted to meet. If we can work with these elites in the future and jointly develop "Linux", this is definitely the most exciting work in the world.
"Well, Minister Chen Xiaowei will be responsible for the planning of the Linux summit, and Mr. Linus will be responsible for the reception as the host!" Lin Feng thought about it and said. Originally, Lin Feng wanted Linus to take full responsibility, but he thought that crazy programmers like Linus were usually not good at human affairs, or even dull. Holding the summit, especially concerning the employment of talents in the "system R & D department", Lin Feng hopes that the summit will make many designers feel at home, so that many designers will not have any conflict when they ask for employment.
"Yes, Mr. Lin!" Chen Xiaowei nodded. This is a field she is good at. Now she is holding a global "Linux summit" and secretly calculating "Microsoft". This is also a very interesting thing for Chen Xiaowei.
"As for persuading the software companies, it's up to me. However, our company can't count on all those software companies. In terms of games and entertainment, our company should also design our own software. Such as video player, download tools, etc. The software is not big, and the design is not difficult! " Lin Feng said.
"Boss, do you need special designers to design and develop? Is it to set up a relevant department or which department is responsible for it? " Wu Zhaopu thought about it and asked.
Lin Feng frowned and thought.
"Well, Minister Linus, it's up to your department. Anyway, if you design the operating system, you can integrate it all at once. Of course, in order to prevent some companies from suing us for monopoly in the future, we should not force users to install it in the design, but prompt users to install it or not when installing the system. " Lin Feng said with a smile, "I believe most users will choose to install it. After all, for the vast majority of users, in their consciousness, the original matching is always the best. "
The crowd laughed. Indeed, for most consumers, even their professional programmers, they generally choose the original matching software. After all, in most cases, the original matching software is the best in compatibility.
After ordering these things, Lin Feng looked to Lu Zhiyi, director of hardware development department of AMD, and he Guoyuan, director of ATI.
"Minister Lu Zhiyi and Minister He, what's your plan for purchasing second-hand computer accessories and replacing them with new computers that I mentioned last time?" Asked Lin Feng.
"Lin Dong, do you really want to do this?" Lu Zhiyi looks surprised.
As soon as Lin Feng saw Lu Zhiyi's manner, he knew that Lu Zhiyi certainly did not carry out market research and evaluation on his plan. Lin Feng was very angry.
"Minister Lu Zhiyi, this plan is not only to promote the sales of computer hardware, but also to promote the" Linux system "that we are about to develop. Now we are facing two strong enemies -" Intel "and" Microsoft ". Only by working together can we break through the shackles imposed on us by them and become a leader in the industry." Lin Feng said in a deep voice.
In Lin Feng's plan, no matter how good and cheap the "Linux" system Linus will design in the future, if he wants to promote it to the whole market, it is absolutely the most incompetent competitive strategy to rely on low price (or even free) to compete, which may not be able to shake the position of "Microsoft", but may make the company in trouble.
In Lin Feng's view, a brilliant competitive strategy is to provide a platform for "Linux" system to play its role. And this platform is the "old for new" plan advocated by Lin Feng. Let all users use second-hand computers or accessories to make up the price difference and exchange for brand-new computers with "Linux" system. As long as users can enjoy enough low price and convenience, Lin Feng believes that many consumers are very willing to exchange for such a computer.
At that time, when the number of computers purchased by users reaches a certain level, the result will be from quantitative change to qualitative change. That is the time for "the second world" to formally challenge "Microsoft". Therefore, I heard that Lu Zhiyi did not carry out such a plan at all. Lin Feng was really in a bit of a hurry.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I didn't look so far at that time. I just thought that it would cost a lot of manpower and material resources of our company, so I didn't conduct a more in-depth investigation on it. But rest assured, I will give you a market evaluation report as soon as possible. " Lu Zhiyi said.
After hearing Lin Feng's explanation, Lu Zhiyi also began to understand the importance of the "second hand computer exchange" plan to the company. Moreover, if the company's operating system in the future can really compete with "Microsoft", and even create a sky in the field of operating system, it will be of great benefit to the company. At that time, our company's operating system could add support for "amd" and "ATI" hardware, and restrict "Intel" and "NVIDIA", just as "Microsoft" does now.
Lu Zhiyi looks excited when he thinks about the possibility of the future. If it is true, the future will be the world of "amd" and "ATI". No, the future will be the world of "the second world".
A company with operating system, hardware development, game and entertainment application will definitely be the most terrible existence in IT industry! It can be said that from the source to the end, the company is occupied by the "second world". Lu Zhiyi can't imagine how terrible such a company will be. But he can be sure that when it comes to that point, the share price of the "second world" may even exceed 1000 yuan (US dollars).
The total share capital of the company is 700 million shares. If it exceeds 1000 yuan, it will be 700 billion US dollars. It will definitely be the company with the highest stock market value in the world. You know, ExxonMobil oil company is the highest ranking company in the world in terms of market value, with a market value of 487.6 billion US dollars. If the company really gets there, its market value will nearly double that of ExxonMobil. It's crazy to think about it. And you have to know that ExxonMobil has no room for further growth, and the potential of the "second world" in the future is huge.
Of course, opportunities always coexist with risks. To achieve this step, we must first step through the "Intel" and "Microsoft" as if the "tiger prison pass". And the narrow-minded generals are "Lu Bu" ("Microsoft") and "Huang Zhong" ("Intel"), so will Lin Feng or "the second world" become the "Zhao Zilong" who once made seven entries and seven exits in caoying( To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
