"At that time, our QQ was doing very well, and so was Microsoft's MSN. We were competitors, but we were also friends."
"But I never expected that in order to compete with our Daqian's Ali Group in the instant messaging software market, Microsoft would personally issue a patch to the Windows system. All QQ software would be shut down within a few minutes after logging in!"
"Over a million of our users were affected, and their QQ couldn't be used. We and Ali Group suffered heavy losses!"
"We couldn't imagine that Microsoft would take advantage of their Windows system's monopoly to launch such a brutal and unreasonable ban on our QQ!"
"This is something that tens of thousands of employees in Da Qian don't even dare to think about. It's against the basic business etiquette and rules. But Microsoft did it, and we can't do anything about it. We can only watch helplessly as we lose our users!"
"Of course, we had many battles with Microsoft after that, including the last bet, and so on. Finally, the problem was solved. QQ was no longer banned by the Windows system, and everything seemed to be going well again!"
"But this made me start to think deeply about a question, and that is, can we hand over the foundation of our lives to a company in a monopoly position like this? Now, they are only attacking and banning a small MSN. What if they ban our Daqian from all fields and software in the future? "
"Then, our Daqian Group's dozens of companies, hundreds of products, and tens of thousands of related employees will all die?"
"Of course, this is unacceptable. This is also the reason for the creation of the Hongmeng system. Because of this incident, we felt the need to develop a system that belongs to our Daqian."
"Now, this system is out. This is Hongmeng, a product that challenges the impossible. A product that solves the fundamental problem of our Daqian Group's survival!" Boss Jia snapped his fingers, and a computer was pushed to the front of Boss Jia.
"This is a computer with an average configuration at the moment. It has a Pentium 5 processor and the corresponding integrated graphics card, 128 MB of memory, 10 GB of hard disk, and so on. It should be similar to the configuration of the computers at home!" Boss Jia asked with a smile. The reporters below the stage couldn't help but nod. This configuration was indeed about the same for many current home computers.
"Then, everyone can ask yourself a question in your heart. How long does it take for a system with Windows 98 to start up after pressing the power button?"
"There's no hurry, everyone can have a minute to recall!"
"One minute. That's about the same amount of time. Because a Windows 98 system needs about one minute to boot up!" The reporters below the stage muttered.
They were all too familiar with the Win98 system. A computer with this configuration would take a minute to boot up. Furthermore, it had to be a computer that had been reinstalled. Otherwise, once there was too much garbage and other things inside, the boot time could cause you to collapse!
"Alright, one minute is up. Everyone can take a look at the startup time of our Hongmeng System!" Boss Jia pressed the power button on the computer. The projection screen behind him showed the startup screen.
Many of the reporters immediately took out their phones and activated the timer function. They planned to stare at the screen while looking at the timer to calculate the startup time.
In the end, just as many of the reporters took out their phones, the entire projection screen lit up instantly. The desktop of the Hongmeng System appeared before them.
"F * ck …" Many of the reporters muttered. However, there were also reporters who were prepared and took out their timers. Then, they exclaimed in surprise, "21 seconds. It only took 21 seconds to boot up!"
21 seconds! How was that possible!
The reporters were all shocked. Boss Jia laughed and said, "21 seconds? It's actually faster than my calculation of 22 seconds by one second! "
22 seconds. Wasn't that ridiculously fast?
The reporters' jaws dropped. This time was more than half the startup time of the Win98 system. The most frustrating thing for the reporters is waiting for the PC to boot up.
A computer that could be booted up one minute earlier was considered good. Many old computers, or computers that had not been reinstalled for a long time, took more than three minutes to boot up. Sometimes, it was normal for it to take ten minutes to boot up.
But now, the Hongmeng System only took 22 seconds to boot up. This was ridiculous!
Of course, this PC's Hongmeng System must have just been installed, and it is very clean. That's why it booted up so quickly.
But even a top-notch PC with a new Windows 98 system will take about 40 seconds to boot up. This speed is way faster than Microsoft!
"It should be because there are too few programs in the system. That's why it booted up so quickly!" Many of the reporters guessed.
But the Microsoft Group's audience members were all looking grim.
Actually, they had expected the Hongmeng System to boot up so quickly.
They had been working on the BAT version of Hongmeng System for a few days, and the booting speed was as fast as Boss Jia's demonstration. The number of programs in this system is even more than Win98.
Even Microsoft's best programmers and architects could not figure out why the system booted up so quickly.
Meanwhile, Boss Jia's demonstration was still going on!
Boss Jia was showing the desktop and interface design of the Hongmeng System. There was nothing much to describe, and it was basically a copy of the future Windows XP. Even the blue sky and white clouds were shown. But instead of the grasslands of the United States, the grasslands were replaced with the grasslands of Inner Mongolia.
However, this was no longer enough to make the reporters and audience feel comfortable and amazed. After the boot speed, Hong Meng once again crushed the Win98 in terms of the art level of the operation interface.
After that, it was the demonstration of the Hongmeng System.
"After the new Hongmeng System is booted up, I will recommend everyone to enter the user interface and create a user profile for this computer!" Boss Jia said as he tapped on the user interface icon on the desktop.
"If we make a home computer, there will probably be a situation where many members of the family will use it together. However, for individuals like us, everyone has their own privacy and secrets. No one wants their family members to discover some of their privacy when they use the computer, right?" Boss Jia said with a smile. Many reporters and audience members showed the same expression.
Indeed, it's fine to use the software and programs. But if your wife finds out about the videos you hid in the computer, it will be awkward.
If your parents find out about it, it will be even more awkward.
If your children find out about it, you will be too ashamed to stay at home.
"That's why we have designed an independent user interface to protect your privacy!" Boss Jia said. "When users use the computer, they can create their own user ID and password."
"When the computer is rebooted, it will enter the user ID selection screen. As long as you enter the correct password, you will be able to enter the computer that belongs to you!"
"All traces of the current user ID's usage, records, file browsing information, and even the files themselves belong to the user's privacy. They can only be seen when the current user ID is not in use."
"Once the computer is rebooted and another user ID is entered, this information will be in a state of absolute privacy. Your family members won't be able to find out about it!"
"Some people might be worried that these different user IDs will take up and waste a lot of hard disk resources. In the end, it will lead to a situation where the hard disk resources are insufficient!"
"Here, I have to explain to everyone that we have carefully designed a resource strategy for the user ID."
"For a computer user, the two main types of hard disk resources are software and files. Software is the one that takes up the most resources. If every user ID has to download the same software again, it will definitely take up a lot of hard disk resources! "
"However, the downloaded programs are actually the same for different user IDs. In the Hongmeng System, the usage records and archives of each program are all stored in a single file. So when a new user ID is logged in, although the program is still the same as before, you won't be able to find any trace of the former at all!"
