"Thank you, Boss Yang, I'll remember this favor."
"You're welcome, Boss Chen. We're both national companies, we should help each other."
"Yeah, yeah, I think so too. I'll tell my people to stop contacting IBM."
At Lenovo's headquarters, Chen Yu shook Yang Yuanqing's hand and thanked him.
Although Yang Yuanqing knew that he had been scammed by Chen Yu, at this moment, no matter how much of a scam he was, he had to beg Huanyu Technology to use their supercomputer.
Needless to say, supercomputers were just that nutty.
Lenovo's Dawn 4000A supercomputer's operating speed reached a terrifying 11 trillion operations per second.
Because of this, Huanyu's closed beta test, which was supposed to take three months, was completed in three days.
However, in order to do the best possible job, although the task had been completed in three days, Chen Yu still occupied Lenovo's supercomputer for 10 days.
This also allowed a series of bugs that were previously undiscovered to be detected.
It could be said that after 10 days and 10 nights of testing by the supercomputer, it could be said that the Huanyu system was bug-free, but it could be said to have reached a very high level.
"Thank you so much, Boss Chen."
When Chen Yu stopped, Yang Yuanqing sighed in relief.
As long as Chen Yu didn't cause any trouble, he was confident that he could take over IBM.
Just like now, IBM probably felt that Huanyu Technologies didn't really want to acquire their business, so they became much more enthusiastic about Lenovo. Even so, when Yang Yuanqing thought about how he was tricked by IBM, he couldn't help but feel disgusted.
However, regardless of whether Yang Yuanqing was disgusted or not, he couldn't show it on his face.
Instead, he had to smile and flatter Chen Yu.
"Oh yeah, Boss Chen, what software are you using for the closed beta test? It took a lot of time and effort."
"Oh, we have no choice. We made an operating system."
"What operating system?"
"A PC operating system."
"No way."
Yang Yuanqing was shocked. "You want to compete with Microsoft?"
"We have this idea."
Chen Yu nodded. "But the operating system is too big, so we can only borrow Boss Yang's supercomputer."
"You're being too polite again. Chinese people should have their own operating system. Boss Chen, I support you."
Yang Yuanqing said with admiration on the surface, but he was secretly laughing in his heart.
This guy wants to make an operating system? This guy is really ambitious.
However, he didn't stop him.
If Huanyu Technologies wants to do it, then do it.
If they want to die, then they can go and die.
When the time comes, he will know how scary Microsoft is.
"Thank you, Boss Yang. When our operating system is released, we still need Lenovo's support."
"It's a must. We don't need to use our own operating system."
Yang Yuanqing lied through his teeth.
They didn't sign an agreement. When your operating system is released, who will use yours?
Do you think you want to develop an operating system? Lenovo has wanted to develop one for a long time.
Not only did they want to, but they also developed it.
Unfortunately, although they spent a lot of money and developed the operating system, it still couldn't get the market's approval.
Not to mention other brands of computers, even Lenovo didn't dare to use their own operating system.
Lenovo was already like this. If a small internet company wanted to challenge Microsoft, wouldn't that be courting death?
"Okay, Boss Yang, I'll go back to Shencheng first."
Chen Yu didn't chat with Yang Yuanqing anymore and went home.
"Old Wu, my operating system is done."
"Damn, that's fast. Didn't you say it would take a month? You finished it in ten days?"
"Do you want us to drag it on for a month?"
"I'm worried about your operating system."
"Is there anything you're worried about when I'm handling things? Here, try it."
Chen Yu took out a USB drive and inserted it into Huanyu's computer.
Yes.
This was a Huanyu brand Huanyu netbook.
Of course, it was similar to Shenzhou brand.
The installation was fast. It only took a few minutes.
"Looks good."
"But why does it look like Windows?"
Huanyu operating system was based on the Linux kernel.
It was different from Microsoft's operating system.
However, although it was different, it was only the source code. Many operations were the same.
For example, the Windows interface and the left and right mouse buttons.
Many people might think that Huanyu operating system infringed on Microsoft's Windows patent.
Not really.
Microsoft's Windows interface wasn't Microsoft's.
Some people might say that if it wasn't Microsoft's, then it was Apple's. If that was the case, then it infringed on Apple's patent.
But in fact, this was a world-class conspiracy.
The truth was that the Windows patent wasn't Microsoft's, and it wasn't Apple's either.
The first company to have a Windows interface was a small software company. At that time, Apple had developed the Windows interface.
Although Apple sued Microsoft for this matter, the court ruled that Microsoft didn't infringe.
But even so, Jobs still said from time to time that Microsoft had infringed on their patent.
Because of Jobs's great personality, he said so much that many people subconsciously thought that Microsoft had infringed on Apple's Windows patent.
"It's normal to be like Windows. Do we have to make an operating system that we're completely unfamiliar with?"
When Wu Haijun said that it was like Windows, Chen Yu was calm and said, "A lot of this may infringe on Microsoft's patent."
"Chen Yu, we're going to be sued to death by Microsoft."
"Then we'll go to court with Microsoft."
Chen Yu wasn't worried at all.
After all, Microsoft Widgets monopolized more than 99% of the world's PC operating system.
Most of the operating logic was already used to it.
In order to promote it globally, there were some infringements.
But infringements were infringements. Chen Yu didn't think it was a big deal.
Microsoft's widgets had infringed many companies' patents.
As for being sued by Microsoft for infringement, then they could take their time fighting the lawsuit with Microsoft.
It was normal for a multinational lawsuit like this to take five to ten years.
If Microsoft was destroyed in the next five to ten years, there would be no need to fight the lawsuit.
They could just take the money and give it to Microsoft. By the way, Mr. Bill, how about we reconcile?
This was a disgusting tactic used by a bunch of giants in the past.
Chen Yu was prepared to do the same.
"Looks like you're quite cunning."
Wu Haijun calculated in his mind and understood Chen Yu's idea.
Although this tactic was cunning, the effect was just right.
It didn't matter if it was infringed or not, they had to occupy the market first.
"Okay, I'll try it out first."
Wu Haijun didn't say anything else. He seriously tried out the Huanyu system.
"The operation is smooth, there's no lag at all."
"Although it's like Windows, it's much easier to use."
When Wu Haijun installed Windows on his netbook, there were some lag when he operated it.
But when he used the Huanyu system, as long as he didn't open any large software, there was no lag at all.
One reason was that the Huanyu system was built on a netbook.
Another reason was that the Huanyu system also removed a series of complicated functions.
It was like a simplified version of WPS.
In fact, more than 90% of the office software was not used.
Since that was the case, they only needed to use 10% of it.
Although this would cause them to lose some users, it was fine.
Chen Yu only needed to focus on the remaining 90% of the market.
"How is it?"
Half an hour later, Wu Haijun stopped. Chen Yu asked.
Wu Haijun generally agreed, but he still said, "There are still some hardware and software incompatibilities."
"This can't be helped. It's been like this since the beginning. It's impossible for a series of hardware and software manufacturers to fight to cooperate with us and be compatible with us before our operating system is released."
"That's true, but I'm worried that they won't be compatible with our system. That'll be troublesome."
"Don't worry, as long as our netbook sells well, these hardware and software manufacturers will come knocking on our door."
Chen Yu was very confident about this.
