Ge Lingyue's question made Wang Yufei a little confused.

"What kind of company? Of course it's a high-tech company!"

“But given our current scale, don’t you think we should focus on doing one thing well first? For example, should we focus on the development of the next generation of brain-computer chips so that our brain-computer technology can always be in a leading or even monopoly position?

And then you can consider other development directions after your position is completely consolidated?”

Ge Lingyue said earnestly.

I have to say that Ge Lingyue is very experienced in managing enterprises.

No matter how popular Changxiang Technology is now, it is just a start-up company.

The technology that is available now is probably brain-computer chips. After all, there is an upper limit to the achievements of super-fast virtual machines.

Therefore, in Ge Lingyue's view, what the company should do most now is to tap as many semiconductor talents as possible and delve into the field of brain-computer chips until it establishes its dominant position in the industry chain. This process may take five years, or

It may take ten years until Changxiang Technology's status is similar to that of Microsoft's operating system and Intel's CPU's status in the industry, and it has stable and strong cash flow before starting other businesses.

Not to mention that Wang Yufei uses the Windows operating system.

Is the Windows operating system so easy to use?

Not to mention how difficult it is to bypass those foreign patents, how difficult is it to develop a system and promote it?

Isn’t this a joke if we don’t have a huge amount of money to invest in research and development and promotion?

However……

"But our brain-computer chip technology can now be said to be in a leading position. The next generation of brain-computer chip technology needs to wait for some breakthroughs in basic science. It is useless to rush, and the speed of speech will not be enough. We have this area with Huawei

In cooperation, they will unite some scientific laboratories to do some basic work, such as special mobile phones for the deaf and blind."

"So we put aside this aspect of research and development, but I think the operating system is different. No hardware can exist independently of software. We must seize the pace of 5g and develop an operating system that can be easily transplanted, which can allow our company's

The product has entered a virtuous ecological cycle. Trust me, Mr. Ge, my judgment will not be wrong."

Wang Yufei insisted on his opinion and persuaded him in turn.

Ge Lingyue finally understood what Wang Yufei said in the car today.

The reason why she never paid attention to the company's affairs was because she always cooperated with Wang Yufei and never put forward her own opinions.

Even if the opinions are given, they are only trivial ones.

It has nothing to do with the development direction of the company.

Now the problem arises.

Ge Lingyue really didn't understand where Wang Yufei got the confidence to get a piece of the operating system pie.

Although Wang Yufei didn't tell her explicitly about some things, Ge Lingyue naturally heard about some things due to Ge Lingyue's connections.

For example, how did a seedling company like Changxiang Technology get noticed by giant companies like Intel and AMD?

Isn’t it because my boss is powerful enough?

Did you take the initiative to provoke others?

It's fine now. We're competing against Apple and competing with Intel. Now we want to have a try with Microsoft and Google?

But what can she do?

"Okay, boss, then I ask you to convince me first, then I will agree with your idea and fully cooperate with you! First of all, I want to know how much money you think it takes to develop an operating system from scratch? Or do you think

What’s the budget?”

Ge Lingyue asked seriously.

"First of all, it is not research from scratch. In fact, I have done a lot of basic work. Including the framework of the entire system, some underlying algorithms, development languages ​​and compilers. By the way, I designed a new computer

The language and supporting compiler have also been completed, and the class library and documentation are now being improved. So after you recruit experienced employees, you will first need to participate in training and use the new computer language to do this. Before that, look back

I will send you the technical text, and the company is responsible for registering various technical patents and commercial copyrights."

"Because of the above reasons, the budget actually does not need to be too large. It is mainly the learning cost and salary cost of these people after they come to the company. Because I don't know the company's salary structure very well, so you have to calculate the budget for this part yourself. But I want to come

A few hundred million at most would be enough, right? One-tenth of the revenue from brain-computer chips should be enough to support the launch of this system."

Wang Yufei's answer made Ge Lingyue feel a little confused.

Is this developing an operating system?

Why does it sound like a joke?

But she still heard the key point. This was probably a completely independent operating system, because in order to develop this system, Wang Yufei even developed a new high-level computer language first...

Of course, there are also brand-new so-called underlying algorithms.

This made her feel as if she and Wang Yufei were talking about different things.

So Ge Lingyue asked directly: "Before moving on to the next question, I want to confirm with you whether the operating system we are talking about can run on PCs, tablets, and mobile phones with visual support software, and the code size is about

It's on the order of tens of millions of lines. If you add supporting software, the number of lines of code may exceed 100 million, and it's not an independent operating system developed using other software kernels?"

Wang Yufei nodded, and then shook his head: "Everything else is correct, but the code size is actually not as exaggerated as you think. For example, I believe that the code size of Windows 10 is tens of millions of lines, but you also have to consider it,

How much of their code is invalid code? These super companies have been running smoothly for decades, and the code base of each company looks like a giant mountain of ancestral shit to me!"

"Newcomers have been tinkering on the mountain of ancestral shit, so the size of the code will be very bloated. So in fact, the number of lines of code for our independently developed operating system may be within tens of millions of lines. Even with the supporting software code, the code

The number of rows will not exceed 20 million.

Ge Lingyue nodded. She didn't want to comment on Wang Yufei's bold comment that the Microsoft operating system was a mountain of ancestral code. She just asked the second question: "Okay, boss, it seems we

They are talking about the same operating system. So the second question is, how long do you think it will take for this operating system to be developed and enter the commercial promotion stage?"

Wang Yufei quickly replied: "At most half a year, if you recruit enough experienced technicians with sufficient abilities and strong learning ability, this time can be shortened."

Ge Lingyue was stunned. After a long while, he stared at Wang Yufei and confirmed: "You just said half a year? Six months? Develop an operating system that is not secondary development and has a new architecture?"
Chapter completed!
