[004] Android Open Handheld Device Alliance

"I decided to learn UNIX development."

Before Zhao Siyu and Jiang Lingxi left, they just pulled Fang Chang'an to the edge of the corridor. Liu Feng couldn't wait to say, not knowing whether it was really so anxious or whether they were using this method to show that they were just a very pure "same-minded" relationship with Fang Chang'an.

Before Fang Chang'an asked, he said to himself: "UNIX is the greatest system. Now all operating systems, except Windows, including SYSTEM    V, BSD, Linux, MacOS, Iphone     OS, are either a branch of UNIX or borrowed from UNIX... In this case, why should we learn Linux? And UNIX..."

"Wait, wait."

Seeing that he was a little excited, Fang Changan had to interrupt, "First of all, what we need to do is not software development, is that right?"

Liu Feng thought for a while, nodded, and then said, "Even if you say, we can develop an operating system based on UNIX, just like the Iphone     OS."

"Do you know how many people there are in the Apple Software Department? Do you know how much Apple costs every year?"

After more than a year of contact, the negative impact of the initial conflict has basically disappeared, but it does not mean that the two get along very well, because Liu Feng did not learn much experience through the "confrontation" with Fang Chang'an last year, and is still confident and conceited. What is more depressed is that Fang Chang'an is really not as good as him in terms of "professional" and "academic".

Some people are born smarter than ordinary people, and Fang Chang'an is conscious of this, but they have not reached the level of genius, and Liu Feng can probably be counted as one.

Therefore, his extracurricular study of computer programming did not affect his first place in the class for a semester, and he also maintained an impressive score of 20 years of age.

Fortunately, he is easier to fool, probably because he is "focused on" learning, and he is simpler in other things, even more simpler than ordinary classmates.

More commonly, when you point your skills to your learning talent, your personality is more "righteous".

As a keyboard strongman from the era of the explosion of the mobile Internet and a person who has also personally opened an Internet startup company, Fang Changan is undoubtedly good at painting big cakes. He uses the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation combined with the deeds of Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, Li Ka-shing and other popular successful people, stewed a bowl of thick chicken soup to Liu Feng, and then used the iPhone as an example to look forward to it. Liu Feng has truly established the great ideal of "we will change China in five years" and is working tirelessly to learn for this.

The only bad thing is that he doesn't believe the direction Fang Chang'an pointed out.

The Android system has not been released yet, but Google had already acquired the Android company as early as 2005. At the end of last year, Wall Street media reported that Google would enter the mobile field, but the direction is a full keyboard phone like BlackBerry.

After the release and launch of the iPhone this year, there were rumors that the founder of Android was very dissatisfied with the current Android system and began to modify it in the direction of the iPhone.

None of these statements have been confirmed, but as a rebirth, Fang Changan has indeed heard rumors such as "the early Android launch was a semi-finished product" and "forced release because of the iPhone".

Liu Feng has a computer at home and his English level is perfect. After learning to use the Internet scientifically, it is more convenient to obtain information than Fang Changan. Because among the information learned during this period, the outside world generally believes that Google will learn from Apple to launch a mobile phone that belongs to Google, rather than launching an operating system, and Android is used by them.

In this case, he did not agree with Fang Changan's statement that "Android is based on Linux and must be open source; Google wants to compete with Apple, but can only be open source."

No matter how awesome your house is, can you still know what Google is going to do? Can you still know Google better than Wall Street?

In addition, this disagreement also has an obsession. This obsession does not lie in whether Google will launch an open source operating system, but in the lofty ideal of "even if Android is open source, why should I use it? Android is still a foreign system. If we want to change China, we must create an operating system that belongs to China by ourselves."

The two have debated this issue many times, and basically ended in Liu Feng's failure every time, but he was not convinced or surrendered.

This time he has to completely decide to "learn UNIX", which is probably because of this obsession.

"First of all, UNIX is closed-source, and the source code we can buy is limited, and the source code we can afford is even more limited."

"Secondly, developing an operating system requires a lot of money, a lot of money."

"In the end, it's not just one person to develop an operating system, but in China, at least now, the current situation I understand, you can't find so many people."

"We can't solve any of these three problems."

Liu Feng was obviously prepared and retorted: "Not necessarily, the Linux system was written by linus."

"He just wrote down the prototype. Now Linux is the crystallization of the joint efforts of countless people after the open source."

"That was also his creation of Linux."

"But without open source, there is no Linux today. Moreover, in my opinion, Linux is greater than UNIX. UNIX is a tool for capital to make a fortune. Linus has truly made great contributions to everyone... Since you admire Linus, why should you give up Linux?"

"It's not that I don't like Linux, I just don't want to use Android."

Liu Feng paused, "Why don't we write a system on Linux?"

"Then what?"

Fang Changan sighed helplessly. He didn't know much about Linus, who made great contributions, but according to his half-baked understanding, he was undoubtedly a respectable person, both in terms of technology and belief.

Fang Changan respects idealists, but when this idealism appears in partners he values, it is not pleasant.

"Assuming that Android is open source as we predict, Apple has really changed the world. Whether we work hard on ourselves or through cooperation with others, we can successfully write a system. What is the point? What to attract developers? What to use to fight against Apple, Google and Symbian?"

"These domestic companies are not interested in operating systems and are too expensive. They are not even interested in chips. Why do they have to spend money on cheap and easy-to-use products they can buy by themselves?"

"I know your family has money, so I won't say how much you can take out. How much can your dad take out? 100 million?"

Liu Feng’s family is well off, but it’s just a good one. Not to mention 100 million, he can’t afford it even if he wants to get 10 million.

He was silent for a moment and asked stubbornly: "You haven't tried it, how do you know?"

Fang Changan asked back: "Do you understand or I understand?"

Liu Feng glanced at him: "I understand better than you."

"I understand your sister."

In Fang Chang'an's imagination, the difficulties were basically at the technical level, because he had no idea about this thing before, but he never thought that the biggest trouble would talk about how to convince people. He knew the road to success, and also met people with the ability or potential to go on, but had to waste time on how to convince him to go on this road. He said a little angry: "Don't talk so much nonsense, just listen to me!"

Liu Feng glanced at him sideways: "Why?"

"By the fact that I am the squad leader, or I snatched it from you!"

Liu Feng was silent for a moment, and for a long time, he seemed to have thought of something and glanced at Fang Chang'an again: "Not now."

"It's over and there is also."

Liu Feng was silent for two seconds and said, "Okay, if Google really releases Android system next year and open source, then I will listen to you first... When I make money, I will do the operating system myself."

Fang Changan laughed and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "If you decide to do it after you truly understand the difficulty of building an operating system, I will admire you."

He didn't say he would support or agree.

However, Liu Feng obviously didn't expect so much. Hearing his statement, he said with satisfaction: "Okay, let's reach a consensus first."

He paused and said, "But Android has not been released anyway, so it's okay for me to continue learning UNIX, right?"

Fang Changan smiled and said, "Of course, you are better than me in terms of technology."

Liu Feng had a little proud expression, but he tried hard to show that this was very ordinary, and he had nothing to be proud of. He said reservedly: "I still have many things I don't understand... I met a very powerful person online and wanted me to go to work in their company. I haven't told him that I am a student... Do I want to say it?"

"It's okay for you."

"Then I'll say it."

Liu Feng nodded and glanced into the classroom, "If it's okay, I'll leave first."

Fang Chang'an smiled and said, "Why would I help you shout Zhao Siyu?"

Liu Feng glanced at him and said, "Why are you calling her? I'm here to find you, not her."

"By the way."

"unnecessary."

Liu Feng said, looking in the direction of the corridor.

Fang Changan turned his head and saw Shen Mo walking over with his book in his arms.

Shen Mo obviously saw them, blinking his bright eyes and didn't say anything, but his eyes touched Fang Chang'an, and clearly expressed the meaning of "Oh, are you discussing computers again?", revealing a teasing smile.

Fang Changan gave her a blank look, then said to Liu Feng: "Okay, be bye."

When Liu Feng saw him want to leave when he saw a beautiful girl, he reminded him: "Study harder, you are too dirty now."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll go into seclusion after the speech contest."

Fang Changan did not refute because the facts proved that there was a big gap in their talents in this regard. Liu Feng was already recruited through the Internet. At most, he applied for jobs and interns, and it was hard to say whether there would be someone to ask for it.

Of course, Fang Chang'an believes that the person who recruited Liu Feng online will definitely dispel this idea once he learned that Liu Feng was still a second-year high school student, because even ten years later, there will be no boss who will be willing to believe in a second-year high school student.

Even if Liu Feng really has the talents of Bill Gates, Zuckerberg and Linus, he cannot become Bill Gates, Zuckerberg and Linus in China. He will only work hard in the college entrance examination, graduate hard, and then work for others, or study abroad first and then work for others, because after returning from studying abroad, he will get better and much better treatment.

This is the current national condition.

Fang Changan didn't know if Liu Feng, who had not met him in his previous life, would shelve his interest in computers and would waste his talent in this field. But even if he didn't, even if he really showed his talent in this area, he would probably be on the other side of the ocean.

This was in 2007. The lighthouse was shining brightly. At this end of the ocean, we are still working hard to develop, catching up, solving various domestic problems, and determined to host the Olympics well and strive for the next development opportunity for China.

Fang Changan once followed many people online and looked back at the past, sighing that China has seized almost every development opportunity and made every major choice right.

He returned to 2003 from later generations. His soul and mentality in later generations have witnessed the journey of the motherland in the past ten years, and is about to witness a very important time node in the process of the dragon taking off.

Before this node arrived, just the day after reaching an "agreed" with Liu Feng, on November 5, Google showed off the Android operating system and announced the establishment of a global alliance organization.

The organization consists of 34 mobile phone manufacturers, software developers, telecom operators and chip manufacturers, and forms an open handheld device alliance with 84 hardware manufacturers, software developers and telecom operators to jointly develop and improve Android systems.

Fang Changan saw many familiar names in this list of organizations called OHA, China Mobile, Motorola, LG, HTC, Samsung, Qualcomm...
