302. You are still sweeter

What?!

Is Boss Cao crazy?

Why did you suddenly think of opening the Hongmeng system?

Or, is it too early to open source now?

According to the current situation, Bomi smartphones are a dimensionality reduction blow to current mobile phones. It can be said that they have monopolized from a high latitude. They do not take the opportunity to make money, but also have to open source the operating system. Isn’t this crazy?

The operating system that Bomi spent two and a half years to build has been built. The technical barriers in this regard are for better profits in the future. Isn’t it equivalent to giving up Bomi’s efforts over the years?

It is equivalent to more mobile phone manufacturers in the future, without developing their own operating systems, they can create smartphones by using and changing the Hongmeng operating system.

Isn’t this equivalent to finding a good opponent for yourself in advance?

Originally, according to the formal R&D process, it took others two and a half years or even longer, but now Boss Cao is better, and he helps others to smooth out this period of time. In fact, it is an act that is not very popular with business people.

At least in the eyes of Liu Qiang and others, even if you want to open source, there is no need to open source so early, right?

...

"Open source is actually an advantage for us now," Cao Yang said, "I know what everyone is thinking. Bomi's operating system has been developed for so long and has finally achieved results. It has to share it with the whole world instead of monopolizing it to generate benefits. Isn't it a bit too much?

Moreover, after Bomi's operating system is open source, many companies can produce mobile phones through Bomi's operating system. By that time, Bomi will no longer be the only smartphone manufacturer, and there will be more competitors. So what are our advantages?"

yes……

Everyone nodded. Boss Cao obviously knew this, so why did he do this?

It's really incomprehensible.

Cao Yang smiled, thinking it was normal to be misunderstood. If he was not a reborn person, the expression on his face would probably be the same as theirs.

This is not a great act. On the contrary, open source is to better control the market.

In my previous life, Google successfully became the world's largest mobile operating system application provider through Android when Apple already had IOS. Many mobile phone manufacturers had to use Google's Android system for development, so it was equivalent to being controlled by Google in disguise.

Google also sued many countries for their system, and Google monopoly.

Google has been fined nearly $9 billion for antitrust for four consecutive years. This is not a joke. It shows that the Android system is called free open source, but in fact it is for Google to better grasp the industrial chain and monopolize control, and to give them more say, it is open source.

Moreover, the Android system was originally developed based on Linux. According to the Linux protocol, the operating system developed based on the Linux kernel must be open source. From this point of view, Google has no choice but to do so, but the time for open source is just a difference.

Cao Yang paused for a moment and said, "In fact, open source is our biggest advantage."

"Originally, our operating system was developed based on the Linux kernel. According to the relevant protocols, we must open source, but why do I think it is better to open source in advance, the sooner the better? This is to allow us to master the market as soon as possible through the operating system."

Hey?

Pei Siqing suddenly opened her eyes, Is my husband such a person?

Just now she thought that Cao Yang Kaiyuan was a very selfless act, in order to allow more developers to participate, and at the same time, more domestic mobile phone manufacturers can develop their own careers through the Hongmeng system.

After all, the entire mobile phone market is too big, so the production capacity of Bomi alone is definitely not enough, and users also have different levels of demand. The current price of Bomi mobile phones is considered a mid-to-high-end product for the market. In the future, more mobile phone manufacturers may be able to divide the lower market and better serve the people?

But what is Cao Yang talking about now?

Open source is to better control the market?

Pei Siqing couldn't believe it. She always thought Cao Yang was a very simple boy. Now, Cao Yang suddenly showed another side in her mind, and she felt like a cunning and domineering president.

It's hard to say whether it's good or bad.

...

The scene was in silence, and no one could understand what Boss Cao was saying.

Everyone knows that Linux-based development must be open source, but as for when to open source, can we discuss this time?

For example, the PS game console is also developed based on Linux, so I haven’t seen them open source?

Why do we need to open source so early?

don't know.

Confused.

"This principle is very simple, because our Hongmeng system will not be the only smartphone operating system, and more operating systems will emerge in the future. Open source is to ensure our advancedness and eliminate some potential competitors. If we are not open source, everyone will be closed, and many people will inevitably study new operating systems in order to develop smartphones.

What should we do when new operating systems appear and they are better than us and want to open source?

By that time, perhaps most mobile phones on the market will use their operating systems. When the market share of these mobile phones reaches a certain number, we can only choose one thing-

It is to be compatible with these new operating systems.

Because whoever has the market has the right to speak, it's a very simple truth."

Everyone fell into silence, and everyone was chewing Cao Yang's words carefully.

It sounds like there is some truth, but is this potential enemy a bit too illusory?

If there is really such a mobile operating system, it only means that their development time has not been short. There is another team in the world who came up with Bomi.

Is this possible?

At least from Cao Yang's perspective, this is a real thing-

By next year in 2007, two smartphone operating systems will be born in the world, one is Apple's IOS operating system, and the other is Google's own mobile Android system.

Moreover, Google did not develop it for itself. The biggest purpose of its Android is to deal with the monopoly of IOS and also seize the initiative for its own market.

This Android system is directly open source, in order to enable manufacturers capable of producing mobile phones to rise as soon as possible and quickly form a confrontation with Apple. Google has successfully occupied most of the mobile phone market through this method, and the number of Android mobile phone users is much more than Apple.

Based on the Android AOSP+GMS framework, Google is equivalent to controlling the entire Android ecosystem.

AOSP is the core code of Android mobile phone operating system, but not all.

Mobile operating systems need to add various hardware drivers, software framework layers, and various system applications based on AOSP to become what people usually call mobile operating systems.

Therefore, AOSP usually refers to the "kernel" of the Android mobile phone operating system. In the system description of Android mobile phones, there is usually a "kernel version", namely AOSP.

The Android system is open source, which is the AOSP part.

As for GMS, the full name of this thing is Google Mobile Services, which is a collection of Google applications and APIs. These applications can collaborate seamlessly across devices and provide an excellent user experience to users' devices.

Google service framework provides many general software developed by Google itself, such as Google Mail, Google Maps, Google Play...

Especially Google Play, users who want to download the game must use this thing.

Therefore, many countries and game manufacturers have sued Google for monopoly, which is also based on this overlord platform. If you want to sell things on my mobile phone platform, you have to sell them on Google Play.

The reason why this GMS framework was removed in China is because of network security issues, our country has mandated to remove this thing.

It doesn't matter whether there is a GMS framework in the country, because we are used to not having this thing.

There is no GMS in China. Some manufacturers' apps occupy memory by frequently "self-start" and "cross-wake-up" methods, resulting in slowing down the phone or getting stuck and faster power consumption.

Foreign users’ demand for software basically comes from Google Play under the GMS framework, and it cannot be used without GMS. So they feel it even stronger.

Without a GMS framework abroad, basically no one wants a mobile phone, so you can't access Google Play download and upgrade software. Do you need a bare metal and hairy one?

However, since early GMS was AOSP, a large number of Android apps relied on many functional interfaces of GMS. Later, Google moved a large number of GMS code from AOSP projects to paid GMS, so Google almost controlled the entire Android ecosystem.

This is also the core reason why Android claims to be a free open source project while all manufacturers cannot do without Google.

This is a very terrible thing, and it will inevitably happen.

The mediation time left for Bomi is only half a year. Relying on this period of time to seize the market and form a large-scale Hongmeng ecosystem is what Cao Yang is most urgent to do now.

The Bomi service framework that Cao Yang intends to enable is also very simple—

App Store.

Using the Hongmeng system, you must use Bomi's app store function. This thing is similar to Apple's APPSTORE. All application functions must be downloaded through the app store, and Bomi will also make corresponding rankings.

Best-selling list, download list, paid list...

These are all for Bomi to gain a higher voice.

So it was not in vain to let Liu Guangran and the others develop this thing before.

Of course, all software listed in the Bomi app store must be reviewed by Bomi, which is meaningful.

Cao Yang once said to Deng Peiqiang because he wanted to open source the X2 engine. Although the environment is different now, the situation he faces is similar.

This sentence is-

"Give the tools to others and make others your own."

Mobile phones are a platform, and Hongmeng operating system is a tool. If you open it, the circle will naturally expand and there will be more partners instead of enemies.

This strategy is even broader, and it is not on the same order of magnitude as the closed monopoly.

...

Cao Yang told his thoughts all the time, and then everyone nodded as if they suddenly realized.

"Well..." Liu Qiang clenched his hand into a fist and put it beside his mouth, thinking for a long time, "In other words, we are now taking the HomeOS+HMS route, and the Hongmeng system is open source, allowing more mobile phone manufacturers to use our standards, which is indeed more conducive to market share.

Then control it through the app store to obtain the right to speak...

Well... Mr. Cao's plan is really good."
