The voice calling him was familiar, Xu Zhenming turned his head and saw that it was Yu Can, the general manager of Longteng Computer Company.

Yu Can smiled and waved at him, "Here, wait for me."

Seeing this, Xu Zhenming stopped and stood there waiting for Yu Can, "What new instructions does Yu always have?"

"Will you join me in the IT summit tonight?" Yu Can sincerely invited.He knew that Xu Zhenming had already turned down the invitation of Mr. Liu, the future computer company, but he still wanted to work harder to invite Xu Zhenming to participate in the IT Summit.

In Yu Can's heart, Xu Zhenming is a mystery.

Sometimes, Xu Zhenming is very high-profile, and will hold press conferences at every turn; sometimes, Xu Zhenming is very low-key and doesn't like to show up.

For example, Xu Zhenming was reluctant to attend the IT Leaders Summit organized by Jingshi TV Station tonight.

"Tonight...IT Leaders Summit. Mr. Yu, can I be considered a leader in the IT industry now?" Xu Zhenming still hesitated.He believes that Yiming Group cannot be regarded as a company in the IT industry, and there is no need for him to participate in this kind of imaginary industry summit.

"Dong Teng Computer Company can suddenly exert its strength and occupy the leading position of the domestic market. Xu Dong is indispensable. You must go to my platform to cheer." Yu Can repeatedly invited Xu Zhenming with a smile.

When things have reached this point, Xu Zhenming will be a little bit unreasonable if he refuses.He then reluctantly nodded and responded to the matter.

Around 7 pm, the second studio hall of Jingshi TV Station.

The invited audience has already entered the venue, sitting quietly in the auditorium.When they entered the venue, they were notified that Xu Zhenming, the first Chinese chip and software scientist and future scientist, would attend the summit.Everyone was very excited and wanted to ask Xu Zhenming questions in person.

At 7:15, the 1996 IT Industry Leaders Summit officially began, with photography in place and lighting in place.Four sisters, a famous supporter of Jingshi TV Station, sat on a high stool and announced:

"I invite you to our national IT industry hall-level leaders, Mr. Liu from Future Computer Company, Mr. Sun from Dalang Computer Company, and Mr. Yu from Longteng Computer Company. The last guest is the heavyweight Mr. Xu Zhenming. Welcome everyone."

The voice fell, and there was a wave of applause in the studio.

By convention, every guest has to say a word to greet the audience in front of the TV and the audience.

Mr. Liu is worthy of being a veteran, often on TV shows.He smiled naturally, showing his untidy teeth, "At this time last year, our future company was still the industry leader. This year, it won't work. It was caught up by junior companies."

"Hahaha." There was laughter in the hall.

Since this show is not live broadcast, Lao Liu speaks very funny and dares to make jokes.

What he said was aimed at two young people, Xu Zhenming and Yu Can, and at two young companies, Longteng Computer Company and Yiming Group.

Although Yu Can was unhappy, he didn't show it on the spot.

When it was his turn to speak, he picked up the microphone and said humbly: "It is true that Longteng Computer Company has not been established for a long time, and we need to learn from Future Computer Company and Dalang Computer Company. It is the same for me, and I need to talk to Mr. Liu and Mr. Sun. Old people study."

After Yu Can and Mr. Sun spoke, it was Xu Zhenming's turn to greet everyone.

Xu Zhenming is not as humble as Yu Can. The camera lens is joking with the audience now:

“I’m here to fill up the count. According to reason, Yiming Group is a very traditional manufacturing company. I myself have no chance to appear here to talk to everyone and comment on the past and present. The main reason is that the older generation of IT bosses are not good enough. The younger generation made a little effort and I was selected to participate in the summit."

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.Mr. Liu relied on the old to sell the old, Xu Zhenming hurt him on the spot.

After the first round, the two were evenly matched.

At the end of this confrontation, the fourth sister of Jingshi TV station took back the right to speak and began to conduct interview shows in a normal rhythm.

She raised the first question, "I heard that Longteng operating system has won the special prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award in 1995. Moreover, Longteng operating system has also filled the gap in China. According to statistics, the market has exceeded 75%. Since this software is so popular, Why did we not develop this product until 1995?"

The Fourth Sister is worthy of being the eldest sister of Jingshi TV's news interview program. She raised very sharp questions and did some homework to understand the industry background.

Upon hearing this question, Xu Zhenming couldn't help but look again at this strong woman with short hair.

"The Fourth Sister is not easy, she has an iron mouth. Now it depends on how Mr. Liu and Mr. Sun respond." He coldly looked at Mr. Liu and Mr. Sun who were sitting there.

The two of them can be said to be one of the earliest leaders in the IT industry in China. One started as a compatible machine and bought a computer, and the other started as a Chinese typesetting software for laser phototypesetting.

The real master of China!

At the same time, the director's shots were also given to the faces of Mr. Sun and Mr. Liu and recorded their facial expressions.

"Our future company was relatively tight in funds at the beginning and was unable to develop an operating system. Besides, the mainstream operating system was DOS, no matter which version of the DOS system changes little." Mr. Liu explained with an awkward expression, saying that if it had developed a domestic operation at the beginning The system is relatively large.

Mr. Sun said the same thing, but he was a little regretful, "In the 1980s, there was CCDOS and Windows Chinese version software. We actually had many convenient conditions to develop domestic operating system software."

These two big brothers explained the same, and Yu Can naturally followed their tune.

But when it was Xu Zhenming's turn, he shook his head and put forward a different view.

"The development cost of Windows 1.0 is 55 people spent a year. DOS 1.0 is written in BASIC language, and only Bill can handle it. From these aspects, the cost of developing an operating system is not high . The key is no profit."

"The future computer company founded by Mr. Liu, at its peak, a computer can make more than 6,000 yuan. He would not even consider investing in software development projects. Mr. Sun’s company would make more money from selling laser phototypesetting systems. Consider developing a non-profitable project like an operating system?"

Xu Zhenming showed no mercy and revealed the situation of the future computer company and Dalang Computer Company in the era of profiteering.He believes that these two companies are most capable of developing the domestic software industry, but they have not done so. This is the fundamental reason why domestic operating systems are lagging behind foreign countries.

"Papa Papa Papa Papa!"

Xu Zhenming hadn't finished speaking, and there was already a wave of applause in the studio.

The audience thought that Xu Zhenming dared to tell the truth, analyzed thoroughly, and analyzed the mentality of President Liu and President Sun when they decided to develop the company.

Seeing Xu Zhenming speaking like this, he didn't show any mercy at all, and Mr. Sun flushed with irritation."Me, our company's situation is different." He explained with embarrassment on his face.

While saying this, he was actually saying, "The DOS operating system at the time was all pirated. Why do we need to develop domestic operating system software?"

"Xu Zhenming, who is dumbfounded, knows the difficulties of our company? If we develop our own operating system, what should we do if the Americans don't sell us CPU chips? Standing and talking can't hurt your back! Humph..." Liu Zongcheng was deeply embarrassed. With a smile, he looked at Xu Zhenming with contempt in his eyes.

He thinks that Xu Zhenming is not lucky enough to get the source code of the Linux system and free labor from the Longbow Group.Without the support of this big environment, can Xu Zhenming complete the Longteng operating system project?

The fourth sister looked around in a quiet manner, and felt that Xu Zhenming's words were too hot, which was the focus of the news and easily offended people.Maybe, it's possible that Mr. Liu and Mr. Sun will be messed up, and they will make a difference in the show.

That would be inappropriate.

Thinking of this, she quickly changed the subject, "Four big guys, what do you think about the hot topic of permanent free software?"

This topic was brought up by Xu Zhenming again, and the fourth sister brought it out for discussion today, which is just right.

Mr. Liu was the first to speak, "I think this is a gimmick and it doesn't work at all. The software is always free, how can you make a profit? If there is no profit, how can a company that develops software survive?"

"I support Mr. Liu's point of view!" Mr. Sun immediately summed up a united front with Liu.

At this point, Yu Can was a little embarrassed.

It stands to reason that he is closer to Xu Zhenming and should form a united front.But his ideas conflict with Xu Zhenming.Therefore, I also support Mr. Liu's opinion.

At this time, the Fourth Sister did not immediately ask Xu Zhenming, but instead passed the question to the audience in the audience to answer.

The first audience supports it forever free of charge, "A computer costs more than 5,000 yuan, and we can't afford software."

"Without spending money to buy software, how can Longteng Computer Company have the money to upgrade and maintain the Longteng operating system?" Another viewer objected to the permanent free software.

Four sisters conducted a survey, and some statistics found that about 60 viewers support the software for free forever, and others hold objections.

Seeing this scene, Xu Zhenming couldn't help shaking his head slightly, "The 40% of the audience are pretending to be."

He was born again and naturally knew what happened afterwards.After the Windows operating system dominates the world, how many users in China use genuine operating systems?Will this 40% of the audience use genuine Windows operating systems?

A group of loading comparisons.

Although he knew the details of these people, Xu Zhenming would definitely not say it.

He took the microphone and said: "There was a time when Windows Company did not pursue copyright. In the future, Computer Company and Dalang Computer Company will have very high profits and have a good life. After Windows Company pursued copyright, what did you do?"

"..." The complexions of Mr. Sun and Mr. Liu turned flushed.

They use pirated DOS systems and sell computers in bare metal.

In other words, they use their actions to prove that large companies also hope that operating systems and other software will be free forever.But this cannot be said in public. Public figures should pay attention to their image.

After taking a look at the two installations, Xu Zhenming announced to the camera lens: "On January 1, 1997, Yiming Group will release the [Xuanniao 97] operating system. The home version is free, and the enterprise version is charged. "

"Papa Papa Papa Papa!"

There was a wave of applause in the studio.
