It is not the goal of Xu You and Luo Wenkun to just use other manufacturers' hardware and systems to create a computer.

Of course, even if it is just a so-called "assembly machine", there are a lot of technologies in it.

It's just that if you can't grasp the core technology in your own hands, you will still face the risk of being "cut off" after all.

"In fact, 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.

After the gradual rise of the domestic chip industry, solving the problem of computer chips is no longer as far away as before.

"For the chip, I will develop an EDA suitable for computer chips, and then I can start the design of the chip. In fact, compared with the chip, the problem of the computer operating system is more difficult to solve."

"That's right, the computer operating system is indeed much more difficult than the mobile phone operating system." 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 make a computer operating system that is stable, efficient, and easy to operate.

But if you really do your best, not only Microsoft and fruit companies can do it.

The more difficult thing is the establishment of a software and hardware ecosystem.

The same piece of software needs to be equipped with a running version for each operating system.

Without the support of the market, it is simply impossible to run any software on the market with only one operating system.

"Wen Kun, the difficulty you mentioned is not just in the research and development of computer operating systems."

"That's right, there is also the problem of software adaptation. On the mobile phone system, we adopt a method similar to Xia Wei's, so that the mobile phone system can be compatible with Android, so that users don't have to worry about the incompatibility between the software and the system. There is a problem. But the same method is difficult to use on the computer operating system."

Xu You turned his eyes and felt that this problem was not unsolvable.

"Actually, I think that even if we make a new computer system, many manufacturers will be willing to cooperate with us. After all, Fulong Technology has achieved such great success in the field of mobile phones and chips, and our strength is obvious to all. Cooperate with us, even if the trend of the general environment."

"Well, like those domestic companies, there shouldn't be much problem in cooperating with us. It's just that I worry that those foreign companies, especially Western companies, will target us as before. After all, if Fulong Technology has a computer The domain is also occupied, and the blow to them will only be greater."

"If they really don't cooperate, let's develop our own software. Fulong Technology started with software, and software is not a problem for us. We are not afraid that a few manufacturers will not cooperate. This opportunity to develop more powerful and better software will 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 overcome them one by one, it is not that difficult.

"Okay, let's make this decision for the time being. After that, we will set up a project to study the solutions of computer chips and operating systems, and then communicate with major manufacturers about customizing software that adapts to our system. Now the company's books 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."

"Yeah, speaking of the company getting to this point, Xu You is the one who deserves the most credit. I have the final say on the whole company, but I only listen to you." Luo Wenkun laughed.

...

Inside Fulong Technology, after a meeting about the company's entry into the computer industry was held.

The employees who participated in the project began to get busy one after another.

Among them, the marketing department has started business exchanges with major software and hardware manufacturers.

As expected by Xu You and Luo Wenkun, all domestic manufacturers, as well as some foreign manufacturers, are very active in cooperating with Fulong Technology.

They believe that Fulong Technology can develop personal computers that occupy the international market, and are willing to develop suitable software for Fulong Technology's system.

However, some Western manufacturers did not immediately agree to cooperate with Fulong Technology, and their attitudes were very vague.

Among them, Microsoft Corporation is included.

Microsoft Corporation is the world's largest provider of computer software and a leader in the development of personal computer software in the world.

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 fruit company?"

"Yes. Not only that, they also asked us if we would like to develop a suitable software version for their computer operating system."

Hearing this news, everyone couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

The two most proud products of the entire Microsoft Corporation are the Windows system and the 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, which is also a company in the United States like Microsoft. It is reasonable to customize a suitable Office software for fruit.

Of course, even the macOS version of Office software is definitely not as easy to use as the Windows version.

"Impossible, we will never customize software adapted to their computer systems for Fulong Technology. Not only us, but also other manufacturers should not do this. This may shake the status of Windows systems in the world. "

After some discussion, everyone agreed that they would reject Fulong Technology's cooperation request.

In addition to Microsoft Corporation, there are also many western companies that have received cooperation invitations from Fulong Technology.

Like Microsoft Corporation, they also expressed resistance to the cooperation of Fulong Technology.

Just when they wanted to reject Fulong Technology's cooperation request.

But was told a new news.

"President, let us... promise to cooperate with Fulong Technology."

"Promise to cooperate with Fulong Technology? Why?"
