605 She’s Extremely Charming
“That’s right. Consider it a public signal. I’m wondering how many people will fall for it.”
“It’s unlikely that they’ll fall for it. The current crop of entrepreneurs will always go with the majority, even if it might sway their future decisions,” Liang Ruoxu said.
“Therefore, if you want to use this method to convince them to try the newly developed phone system, it’s not very likely to succeed.”
“That’s why I have decided to come in and mess things up.”
“I don’t think you want to come in and mess things up. You just want to throw money at people.”
“You know me best.”
“However, I feel that no one will be willing to do shift over,” Liang Ruoxu said.
“IOS and Android are too mature. There’s no need to talk about IOS here. Even Android is open-source. Who would waste their resources on something like your system?”
“I thought of the problem you mentioned, so I rejected this idea. Since I can’t work with others, I’ll do it myself.”
“You’ll have to sell the phones first.”
“No, the phone system is still a commodity. I’ll give it to whoever wants it. It’ll be free.”
Liang Ruoxu felt that something was wrong. “Why are you making this? This doesn’t seem like a way to earn money.”
“I’m not focusing on making money, so there’s no hurry.” Lin Yi said.
“As for this matter, I’ll need your help.”
“Naming rights is a small matter. My grandfather won’t even need to step in. Uncle Chen can handle it.” Liang Ruoxu said.
“But is this enough? Should I get you some additional approval?”
“Hmm? Approval for what?”
“For example, the national ‘Several Plans to Promote the Development of the Software Industry’ surrounds this field and might benefit you.”
“That’s fine. In any case, if you think it’ll help me, I’ll take as much as you can give. I don’t mind.”
“How greedy.”
After a brief chat, Liang Ruoxu changed her clothes and prepared to go to work.
She originally wanted to take Lin Yi’s car, but when she saw that he was driving a Koenigsegg RS, she gave up.
When he returned to the shop, it was already past ten in the morning.
Lin Yi organized the thoughts in his mind again.
Liang Ruoxu was right. It was impossible to get someone else to use his system, so he had to do it himself.
However, Sci-Tech produced small chips. It was still a little difficult to pivot it into the mobile phone production line.
Still, what other option did he have?
After sorting out his thoughts, Lin Yi pulled Sun Fuyu and Qi Xianzhao into a group.
He was prepared to hold a video conference and assign them missions.
“Director Lin, do you have any instructions?” Sun Fuyu said in the video.
“The source code of the new system should be as similar to Android as possible. In other words, any app that is suitable for Android should be able to be used on our new system with only a few modifications. However, we also have to maintain some technical differences so that no one can replicate it. On a technical level, this should not be difficult.”
Sun Fuyu smiled slyly. “Don’t worry, President Lin. I’ve been doing this since the beginning.”
“Are you serious?”
“I’m serious,” Sun Fuyu said. “We’re not the first to create a system, so the industry is very certain when it comes to this.”
“Take your time.”
“If you want absolute control, you have no choice but to research a brand new mobile phone system. If you try to innovate it from scratch, in this era where apps are everywhere, you’re simply courting death. No one will waste their effort to develop an app for a new system. The only solution is to make a system similar to Android. By doing so, with a few modifications, you can tweak apps to adapt to the new system, greatly reducing the difficulty of development.”
“What about risk aversion?”
“This is even simpler. Penguin has already shown us a clear path on how to do this,” Sun Fuyu said.
“In the field of online information security, the definition of plagiarism is the same code, but to avoid this, we just need to rewrite the code. Even if they sue us, we don’t have to be afraid. Our code is only similar, but not identical. Moreover, they are a foreign company. It’s nonsense for them to want to win against a local company in Huaxia.”
Hiss!
Lin Yi gasped.
“You’re a f*cking genius!”
“Hehe, thank you for your praise, President Lin.”
“Old Qi, I have a very important mission for you,” Lin Yi said. “Find a few factories. We’re preparing to enter the mobile phone industry.”
“I’ve already tried to contact a few companies. I was just waiting for President Lin to give me instructions.”
“You prepared in advance?”
“Yuanyuan told me about this when she came back. I pretty much guessed this would be the next step.”
Lin Yi nodded. Old Qi was also a talent.
“Since you’re already prepared, I’ll make it short.” Lin Yi said.
