Chapter 1007 Sirius System

Just when Tang Qing demonstrated the mobile phone to the second uncle and the others.

U.S.

New York.

ERV's new headquarters.

The current ERV has deep pockets.

At the end of last month, I bought the headquarters of a bankrupt technology company in the suburbs of New York. It occupies a large area and has a distinctive architectural design. It was only completed in the middle of this year. Unfortunately, the ERV is cheap.

at this time.

The atmosphere in the conference room was a little tense.

three days ago.

ERV sent an email to Google.

Invite it to participate in the Mobile Terminal Operating System Open Software Alliance initiated by ERV. This industry alliance initiated by Google in November next year was brought out by ERV one year ahead of schedule.

last year.

Google bought Android.

Ready to develop mobile operating systems.

It's not that they are far-sighted, but that according to Moore's Law, it doesn't take a lot of thinking to know that small, high-performance mobile devices will become popular in the future, and in this way, the operating system will definitely be indispensable.

The PC operating system is dominated by Microsoft.

Google wants to get a mass operating system suitable for non-PC terminals in the new industry.

It is currently undergoing intensive research and development.

Unexpectedly.

ERV will come out like this, completely to abolish the rhythm of Android.

Facing Eric's dissatisfaction.

The soldier reasoned without changing his face.

"Mr. Eric, I invite you to come here because I want everyone to work together. It's not that you come to question me. In the field of technology, the master is the teacher. If there is no rule that you can do it, I can't do it. Do you say it? ."

"..."

This makes sense.

Of course Eric knew.

Just being preempted and preparing to eat him is really uncomfortable.

"Can I know your progress?" Eric asked.

"Sure, that's our schedule."

The soldier handed over a document, and Eric Schmidt looked at it carefully and found that the system architecture, application management, and various solutions were all close to perfect.

In many respects, it is much faster than the current Android development progress.

at this point.

With the strength of ERV, there is no need to cheat.

"What do you want to do?" Eric put down the file.

Warrior said: "We are going to invite Google to join our 'Sirius system', give up the research and development of the Android system, and jointly formulate industry standards, form complementarity, and seize market share."

"There are too many operating systems on the market now, and there will be more in the future. Microsoft, Apple, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung... As long as they are manufacturers, they will definitely develop their own operating systems for mobile devices."

"Our ERV plan is to let the 'Sirius' family dominate."

Finally, the warrior gave the goal of 'Sirius'.

Sirius.

The brightest star in the night sky.

This is also Tang Qing's expectation. There are many stars in the sky, but I am the brightest. Other stars are best for people who are not interested in knowing their names. As for inviting Google, I mainly want to borrow its influence.

otherwise.

Android is not dead.

Tang Qing was not interested in finding cooperation with Google.

"..."

Eric didn't answer immediately. These are big questions. After thinking for a long time, he asked, "How can you be sure that your system will have an advantage? You can be the only one, don't forget, no one wants to be restrained by others."

The soldier immediately gave the answer: "Small space, strong compatibility, security, stability, high program execution efficiency, high chip utilization, and most importantly - we will open source and free."

The front is false.

The last two.

This is the root cause of Android's dominance.

"What? You want to open source?" Eric was shocked, it was so free, and he made a lot of money. At the beginning of Android design, Eric never thought about open source and free.

"Yes, nothing is free to sell. As long as we open source, we will have natural advantages. Free, so we can do everything. As long as we do a good job of compatibility and scalability, we are not afraid of anyone." The soldier smiled. .

Also Apple turned out.

It forced Google to give up this interest.

at this time.

Eric was really frightened by the 'madness' of the man in front of him.

"what's your plan?"

"We cooperated on research and development. I heard that Apple is about to release a smartphone, you know that." The soldier mentioned another thing.

"I know." Eric nodded.

The soldier said: "After its release, I am going to invite major mobile phone manufacturers, chip manufacturers, operators, etc. to jointly promote our products. I think, on this issue, we don't need to die."

Cross your hands.

Eric frowned.

The person in front of him was right.

It is not a wise move to fight with ERV. Even if you don't agree, others will do it. It is open source and free. In this way, there will be no room for charging in the entire market.

Unless it is mandatory, it is the same as the iPhone.

As for Android.

It can only be used by your own company and become a niche system.

"I'll go back and think about it." Eric looked up.

"Okay, I hope you decide as soon as possible, otherwise, we have finished all the architecture and details, and Android has no value at all, so don't say that I am mercenary." The soldier reminded.

"it is good,"

Eric felt nervous for no reason.

Get out of the ERV.

Eric immediately called and applied for a board meeting. For such an important matter, it almost abolished the Android that they had high hopes for, and the board had to be notified.

. . .

"...That's the way it is, ERV wants to invite us to join their Sirius system." Eric reported in detail what he said to the warrior and the document he saw.

"Eric, what do you think?" the chairman asked.

Eric hurriedly said: "I think it can be considered that we develop the operating system for our own mobile phones, if it can be accepted by the public, but if it becomes a niche system, it will be meaningless."

"Open source, free, when did ERV become so generous." In their impression, ERV is a very calculating company, and it can make money very well. It is really strange for a free system.

Eric Du: "He said it was to grab market share."

"Can ERV's 'Sirius' surpass our 'Android'?" asked the vice chairman.

Eric said: "I think yes, ERV has been a company with super technical strength from the very beginning. It has made remarkable achievements in the field of optimization algorithms, and has a great vision. The upstream ARM company that controls the microprocessor has a mature company. software development experience.”

"In short, our Android win rate is low."

"..." Eric's evaluation was pertinent.

Google prides itself on being great.

But it is not invincible. The technical strength of ERV has been recognized by the industry. Some people have guessed that the most likely one that can compete with Microsoft in software technology is ERV.

Because the complexity of "War Fire" is not much worse than the operating system.

After half an hour.

After a heated discussion.

Google's board of directors unanimously passed a resolution to merge the Android project into the Sirius project and strive for a little more "ownership". Although it is free and open source, the hidden benefits brought by industry standards are not many.

at last.

Eric sighed.

The enemy is too powerful and too rogue.

. . .

the next day.

morning.

Google and ERV sign an agreement.

The two parties cooperated to establish the "Sirius System Company", led by ERV, and joined by Google's Android team as a whole to jointly develop the mobile operating system, and strive to produce the first version of the finished product as soon as possible.

By the time.

Then invite major companies to join this open systems alliance.

Prepare to circle the ground first.

at the same time.

Qualcomm also has results.

Qualcomm spent $500 million to purchase the exclusive license for the chip, and for every chip it produced, it also paid a patent fee of $4.3 to the company controlled by the warrior, because many new 'implementations' were used on the chip.

at the same time.

Qualcomm and Warrior's company also established a strategic partnership, with Qualcomm investing $1.7 billion, accounting for 20 percent of the company's shares, to collaborate on the development of next-generation chips.

Qualcomm is full of confidence.

Prepare to use this to completely establish its position as the microprocessor hegemon.

So far.

Tang Qing's smartphone layout has entered a new stage.

From the most upstream architecture of the microprocessor, ARM, to the new generation of mobile phone chips, from the operating system to various components, it is paving the way for the "reasonable appearance" of mobile phones.
