"Boss Lee, you've been taking too long. It's been five days."
"Boss Chen, five days is already very fast."
"Hurry up, hurry up, there's something I need you to do."
In order to get Li Kaifu to join Huanyu Technologies as soon as possible, Chen Yu asked Li Kaifu to report to the company in a week.
Of course, there was a price to pay for being so urgent.
For example, the penalty for poaching Li Kaifu was not a small sum.
However, compared to the operating system, Chen Yu was willing to pay the penalty no matter how high it was.
"Boss Chen, have you paid the penalty?"
"Of course, why? Oh, don't worry, we'll pay the penalty. You can focus on your work. "
Chen Yu was afraid that Li Kaifu would be worried about the penalty, so he comforted Li Kaifu.
The penalty was as high as 100 million yuan. Normal companies might not be able to afford it.
"Boss Chen, you've misunderstood. What I meant was that we can pay the penalty, but we can slowly fight the lawsuit with Google."
"Eh …"
Chen Yu's eyes lit up. "Not bad, why didn't I think of that?"
Chen Yu had prepared 100 million yuan for the penalty before, but now it seemed that there was no need to pay it so quickly.
Even if he did, he would have to fight the lawsuit with Google for a few years.
Moreover, this lawsuit might drag on for a few years, and Google might just settle with Huanyu Technologies.
"That's great, Boss Lee. You've just reported to the company, and you're already thinking about the company."
Li Kaifu's reply made Chen Yu very happy.
Although Chen Yu poached Li Kaifu to come to Huanyu Technologies, he seemed to have integrated into Huanyu Technologies very quickly.
He was indeed a professional manager.
He worked for whichever company he was in. This was praiseworthy.
However, Chen Yu always called him Boss Lee. Li Kaifu was also a little embarrassed. He expressed that he hoped Chen Yu would stop calling him Boss Lee. If he continued to call him Boss Lee, he would be too embarrassed to go to work. He hoped that Chen Yu could just call him Kaifu. However, Chen Yu still gave Li Kaifu face. After all, he had just joined Huanyu Technologies. Chen Yu addressed Li Kaifu as Manager Li.
"Boss Chen, can I go to the R&D Department?"
"Of course. Let me tell you, the R&D department lacks a general like you. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to poach you. Let's go and take a look. "
Chen Yu brought Li Kaifu to Huanyu's mobile operating system R&D department.
This research and development department was led by Li Biqing, and he had also found some technical personnel. When they saw Li Kaifu enter, all the researchers in the research and development department were extremely shocked. They did not expect Chen Yu to poach a talent like Li Kaifu.
"Brothers, look, who did Boss Chen poach?"
"Who is it?"
"Li Kaifu."
"Damn, Li Kaifu. Is it true? Where is he? Why didn't I see him?"
"He went to the director's office."
The members of the R&D department were a little excited.
"I feel that our department is going to be popular."
"Yeah, even Li Kaifu was poached. I heard that Li Kaifu is Microsoft's number one technical person."
"Number one technical person is a little exaggerated, but he should be in the top five of Microsoft."
"Damn, I thought that our department was just putting up a front. I didn't expect it to be so serious."
Chen Yu did not know what the members of the R&D department were thinking. He brought Li Kaifu into Li Biqing's office.
"Manager Li, let me introduce you. This is the person in charge of the operating system department at Huanyu Technologies, Li …"
"There's no need to introduce him."
When Li Kaifu saw Li Biqing, he immediately greeted him. "Director Li, I didn't expect you to be in charge of the operating system project at Huanyu Technologies."
"I'm old, and I need to find something to do. Chen Yu was specially recruited by me to Shencheng University. He can only contribute to the team. However, it's useless to rely on me. I'm old, and I don't have any skills. You guys have the foresight and potential. Since you're here, I'll leave you in charge. "
"Director Li, what are you saying …"
After some pleasantries, Li Biqing introduced Huanyu Technology's current operating system to Li Kaifu. Both of them were more pragmatic people, so Li Biqing introduced Huanyu Technology's current operating system to Li Kaifu.
"Kaifu, let me introduce you to our department. The operating system department at Huanyu Technologies is the newest department established at Huanyu Technologies. Although it was established recently, it is the most important department and only reports to the president. Currently, we have two businesses. One is the PC operating system business, and the other is the mobile operating system business. Our focus is on the PC operating system business. "
"PC operating system business?"
Li Kaifu was a little surprised. He asked, "Isn't the focus on the mobile operating system?"
"Both are actually equally important, but the most important one is the PC operating system project."
Li Biqing explained, "Although the mobile operating system is important, we're not in a hurry. But for the PC operating system, we need to launch it in the near future. Also, we need to occupy a certain market share. "
"This …"
When Li Kaifu heard this, he was a little embarrassed.
He didn't know what to say.
Chen Yu saw Chen Kaifu's confusion and said, "Manager Li, what's the problem? Just say it."
"Boss Chen, Director Li, actually …"
"It's okay to be direct."
Chen Yu signaled Li Kaifu with his eyes.
"Then I'll be direct."
Although Li Kaifu knew it was inappropriate to say it on his first day at the company, as a professional manager, he had to lead the company in the right direction. Take the operating system for example. When Chen Yu poached Li Kaifu, Li Kaifu knew that Chen Yu was ambitious and wanted to enter the PC operating system industry.
But, to be honest, he wasn't very good looking.
He had worked at Microsoft before and was doing well. He even became the global vice president.
He was much better than Tang Jun.
However, the better he worked at Microsoft, the more Li Kaifu knew about Microsoft's power.
Feng Yu felt that there is no other company that can pose a threat to Microsoft.
If he really wanted to create an operating system, then the best way was to start with the mobile operating system.
This was actually easy to explain.
Microsoft had already monopolized the PC market.
It was not only difficult to enter, but it might not be effective.
However, in the mobile phone operating system area, although several giants led by Nokia formed the Symbian Alliance.
Symbian was not very strong for the time being.
Moreover, there were many different mobile phone brands and the mobile operating system was not unified.
If Huanyu Technologies entered this industry, it would be a huge opportunity.
In fact, Huanyu Technologies did seize this opportunity.
Using Huanyu Technologies' network products to bind to Huanyu's mobile operating system was a brilliant strategy. Logically speaking, Huanyu Technology's current priority should be to update the mobile operating system and develop it in depth. How did it become a PC operating system?
For this reason, Li Kaifu pointed out the current problems with Huanyu Technologies. He also suggested that Huanyu Technologies should temporarily put down the PC operating system and focus on upgrading the mobile operating system.
"Haha …"
When they heard Chen Kaifu's suggestion, Chen Yu and Li Biqing both laughed.
They naturally understood why Li Kaifu would make such a suggestion.
If it was someone else, they would also make such a suggestion.
It was obvious that the PC operating system could not be improved. Why should they be in such a hurry?
Rather than that, why not develop the mobile operating system?
However, this was for ordinary companies.
However, for Huanyu Technologies, who had already set up the netbook business, it was a different matter.
Immediately, Chen Yu revealed to Li Kaifu the netbook plan that Huanyu Technologies was preparing.
When Li Kaifu was at Google, this plan could not be told to him.
However, he had now joined Huanyu Technologies and Li Kaifu was also in charge of the operating system business. Naturally, there was no need to tell Li Kaifu about the netbook plan.
"Netbook?"
Li Kaifu did not expect Huanyu Technologies to have such a plan. He was dumbfounded.
"Wait, let me think about it first."
To be honest, Li Kaifu was extremely excited now.
When Li Kaifu heard about the netbook plan just now, he felt enlightened all of a sudden.
When Chen Yu and Li Biqing told him about the netbook plan, Li Kaifu realized that Microsoft's Windows was not that difficult to challenge.
As for why countless companies had been defeated before.
That was because they were all fighting in the circle drawn by Microsoft and Intel.
No matter how strong and powerful the competitors were.
The rules were set by Microsoft and Intel. You could beat them.
However, it was different now.
Huanyu Technologies' netbook plan bypassed Microsoft and Intel.
Although this did not mean that they could beat Microsoft's Windows, it at least showed that this was a very feasible path.
"Oh my god, Boss Chen, Boss Lee, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Understanding this point, Li Kaifu only felt a surge of emotions in his heart that could not be stopped.
He knew that if he had joined Huanyu Technology before, it would have been somewhat risky.
However, he could now say with absolute certainty that he had made the right choice.
As for why he said that it was risky, it did not mean that Li Kaifu did not want to join Huanyu Technologies. However, even if there was a risk, he was willing. In any case, Huanyu Technologies's strength did indeed give him an opportunity to attack the mobile operating system. However, he now felt that the probability of this opportunity being realized was very high.
"Hahaha, we also wanted to tell you earlier. What if you didn't come?"
Chen Yu also said jokingly.
Of course, this kind of thing could not have been told earlier.
If he had said it earlier, Chen Yu would have vomited blood if Li Kaifu didn't come.
One must know that the netbook plan was the most important thing in Chen Yu's future plan. He would not reveal a single word about this kind of thing.
"Of course not, Boss Chen. If you had told me earlier, I would have brought my bag over on the day itself."
Of course, this was also a joke.
However, although it was a joke, the netbook plan did indeed shock Li Kaifu.
"Then, can we continue to talk about the PC operating system now?"
Li Biqing smiled and looked at Li Kaifu.
"Of course, of course."
Li Biqing's face was a little awkward, but his heart was not at all awkward. He rushed to say, "If that's the case, I'm confident that we can create our version 1.0 in three months."
"Really?"
"I can make a military pledge."
Li Kaifu said very seriously, "If the netbook is targeted at the online crowd, then our version 1.0 system can abandon most of the architecture and functions. Moreover, there are open source Linux codes on the market now. Although some of them are commercialized, we can buy their version and then optimize it. As long as our online instinct occupies a certain market, we can take this opportunity to slowly introduce other functions. "
Chen Yu also nodded.
This was also what Chen Yu and Li Biqing thought at the time.
Netbooks were only used to surf the Internet, play small games, and solve some electronic office products.
He could not do operations that required a lot of resources.
For example, playing large-scale online games and large-scale software.
Even if he could create functions, he could not play with them.
To be honest, if only these functions were needed, Windows could be streamlined by more than 90%.
This was just like WPS. Why could WPS be done with 50 MB? It was because there were some functions that were not needed. As for why Office was so big, in addition to a series of functions that had to be satisfied, Office actually did not only have Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. It also had two other components, Outlook and FrontPage.
As for what Outlook and FrontPage were?
Since you asked, it meant that you did not need the functions of these two components at all.
Of course, it was difficult to create a huge and complex system like Windows.
However, a system with only one-tenth of Windows' content was relatively easy.
Moreover, although there was not much of a market for the Linux system now, because Linux completely beat the Windows operating system in some areas such as servers, major companies all over the world developed operating systems with Linux as the core, and many companies were also commercializing it.
It could be said that in terms of ecology, 1000 Linux could not compare to Windows.
However, in terms of functions, performance, architecture, security, speed, and efficiency … Linux was not inferior to Windows at all. In fact, it was even better than Windows operating system in many areas.
It could be said that if Huanyu Technologies really wanted to create a Linux system, they did not need to develop it themselves.
They could just buy one.
However, it was possible to buy one.
However, the problem was that the Linux operating system purchased might not be completely suitable for Huanyu Technologies' netbooks.
Therefore, certain optimizations and development of other functions had to be carried out.
How to optimize and how to develop other functions would require an expert with profound professional skills.
Of course, this was only the first step.
In the future, if they wanted to go head-to-head with Windows, it would not be enough to just develop an operating system with one-tenth of Windows' content. In the future, not only would they have to compete with technology, but they would also have to compete with ecology, capital, and fists.
"Therefore, Manager Li, you will be in charge of the following matters."
"Don't worry, Boss Chen, I will be living in the company for the next few months."
"Don't work so hard, rest when you need to."
"Boss Chen, don't worry, I am prepared to fight a war of attrition with Microsoft."
The three of them looked at each other and smiled. They all understood what he meant.
