Silicon Valley

PS. Here is the May 1st update, don't rush to play after reading it, remember to vote first. From now on - point 515 Fan Festival to enjoy double, and other activities have red envelopes, you can also take a look at Ang!

Hongnian Technology Co., Ltd. is originally a large-scale electronic processing factory, with a strong production capacity, it can produce tens of thousands of computers within a week!

In order to become famous, Hongnian Technology spent 10 million yuan to advertise on major TV stations.

The scene in the commercial clip is in a very cool, high-tech production base, where there are many European and American foreigners wearing white overalls.

At this time, the rhythmic narration sounded: "Hong Nian Technology has teamed up with Cyrix, the world's third largest microprocessor manufacturer, and Williams Electronics, a top electronics giant under the name of the world's richest man Henry Williams, to jointly create a global high-performance, affordable Computers for only 3500 RMB! In mid-June, Williams retail stores all over the country are selling..."

At the end of the advertisement, four large engraved gold characters "Hongnian Technology" appeared on the screen!

Advertising only promotes a product, and that is a failure. The purpose of advertising is to promote the brand. Hongnian Technology is the brand. As long as the brand is famous, any product launched in the future will be more effective!

This ad isn't very creative, but it works great!

Perhaps, the Chinese people don't even know what kind of company Cyrix is, but it doesn't matter, as long as you hear that it is the third in the world, it is a great company! They may not know what company Williams Electronics is, but it doesn't matter, as long as they know that it is the company of Henry Williams, the richest man in the world, it is also a great company!

Henry Williams, can they not know?

Since both companies are so good, the computer they make should be very good. This reasoning is natural, isn't it?

Hong Nian computers were soon distributed to Williams retail stores throughout the country.

More than 300 retail stores have accelerated the renovation speed, all completed before mid-June, and then opened uniformly!

On the opening day, the Williams retail store was crowded, rubbing shoulders, and it was very popular!

Today's computers cost tens of thousands of yuan at every turn, and Hongnian computers only cost 3,500 yuan, which naturally attracts countless people!

In 1994, the computer room was established. It cost 5 yuan for an hour to be on the computer. If one computer worked for 18 hours, you could earn 120 yuan a day. If you had five computers, you could earn 600 yuan. At that time, the salary was only a few hundred yuan a month. It was a huge profit to open a computer room. One day was worth a month for others!

However, computers are too expensive, and the cost of opening a computer room is too high. But now it's better, Hongnian computers only cost 3500, the threshold for opening a computer room is low, and many computers can be added all at once!

Hongnian Computer immediately became a hit, with more than 6,000 units sold that day, and each retail store sold an average of more than 20 computers.

Henry set the price of Hongnian Computer so low, but that was something else.

Just look at the programs on the computer desktop after the computer is turned on, and they are basically software of the company under Henry's name. By bundling, the number of users can be increased! The system software currently used is not the Microsoft system, but the Linux system. Henry will use the Linux system to challenge the Windows system!

Microsoft's system costs 100 US dollars, and the cost of a computer has to increase by nearly 1,000 yuan, which is too expensive. It is impossible for Henry to let Hongnian Technology use Microsoft's pirated system, otherwise the price will drop, and he will be sued by Microsoft! The Linux system is Henry's own system.

Linus Torvalds, the father of linux, was a hacker who joined 360 McAfee's "Matrix" division in early 1991, during which time he and several other hackers developed with the support of 360 McAfee. linux system. Therefore, the copyright of the linux system belongs to 360 McAfee, which is Henry's!

The linux system is a uinx-like system, that is, a system developed based on the uinx system, but with the help of its design, the code is not copied from uinx, so there is no infringement. The Unix system is an operating system developed by AT\u0026amp;amp;T Company, which has a huge influence. It was an open source system before. Later, when it saw a relatively large profit, it was charged!

The uinx system can be said that in addition to Microsoft, other operating systems are basically uinx-like systems, such as Linux systems, Apple's MacOS-X system, Sun's Solaris system and so on!

It is enough for Microsoft to challenge so many systems by itself!

However, at present, although Microsoft has a dominant position, it is not in an absolute monopoly position, and there are still many systems on the market that pose a threat to it. Of course, as soon as Windows 95 comes out, it really has a monopoly...

After so many years of development, Microsoft has accumulated a lot of technology, and it has also received the support of many software companies, and the software is rich. It is difficult for the Linux system to catch up with it! The only way to speed up the catch-up is to open source the system, allowing developers of all operating systems in the world to design the linux system together!

Therefore, after developing the linux system, Henry decided to publish the source code. As a result, he established a website "Linux Open Source Community" to publish the source code on the website, so that programmers around the world can download it, and at the same time upload the improved system kernel!

Open source means no money, which naturally attracts many operating system developers and enthusiasts. In order to fool them, Henry uploaded his improved system kernel to the Linux open source community, and strongly advocated it, shouting the slogan: "The spirit of the Linux system is sharing!!!"

From 1991 to the present, under the leadership of the "Matrix" department of 360 McAfee, and through the improvement of countless operating system enthusiasts and learners, the Linux system has developed very fast and its functions have become more and more powerful! According to statistics, nearly one million users around the world are using Linux systems. Most of them are servers, workstation systems. Few people use linux system on personal computer!

Some people may wonder, open source means that the system is free, how to make money? In fact, there are many models of open source making money.

First, technical services. For example, there is a company that wants to get into the computer industry and produce computers with Linux systems. However, the company is not well versed in operating systems. Well, if there is a problem with the system, it needs technical service!

Second, sell hardware through a free system. Just like Hongnian Computer, the system is free, the price is low, and it is very competitive, only the hardware can be sold!

Third, application services. Launch paid applications on the system, usually bundled with software!

Fourth, accessories. Develop open source peripheral products, such as publishing open source technical books and more!

Fifth, develop a variety of product lines. Linux system can launch ordinary open source system and professional version of the charging system, such as some servers with special functions, it may need more targeted and specialized systems!

Of course, there are still many ways to make money, and we need to continue to explore!

Linux system usually refers to the system kernel, a complete operating system, including three main parts: kernel, function library, and user interface. Other companies can customize their own systems according to their needs, just like the Android system, whose kernel is actually the Linux kernel.

At present, Microsoft's system has not yet formed a monopoly, and there are still relatively few Chinese people who have used computers. Now let them be the first to contact the Linux system, which should be easier and more acceptable!

(PS: I went out for two wedding drinks today and felt dizzy. In addition, an old man passed away nearby, and his children were crying all night, alas... not to mention, more tomorrow!!!)
