Chapter 169 [Excessive, more ugly than Qualcomm]

Costa del Azure Laboratory.

"...Our goal is to promote azure-c and become the main programming language for writing mobile applications in the future. It is very practical. The programs written by azure-c are basically as large as their original code. It is completely compatible with the standard C language."

In an indoor hall of the Costa delle of the Blue Sky Laboratory, more than 600 engineers gathered together, all listening to Luo Sheng's story. The Azure-C language has been developed for three months and will carry the writing of the AOS operating system and mobile application.

"For all programming languages, there are two ultimate goals: one is to improve hardware operation efficiency, and the other is to improve programmer development efficiency." Luo Sheng looked at hundreds of engineers and said: "Unfortunately, you can't have both, you can only choose one. In terms of improving hardware operation efficiency, C language has no competitors and is invincible. For example, C language uses array inta and becomes a way after compilation. For computers, there is no method that is faster than the access method of this method."

Bai Lang immediately spoke at the scene: "Although the C language has compressed the operating efficiency of the hardware to the extreme, the problem brought by this design idea is the lack of ease of use and security, and he ignores the wrong offsets of C language."

As he said that, Bai Lang spread his hands with a helpless look on his face.

Luo Sheng nodded and smiled, "Yes, this is the notorious cross-border problem in C language. The only purpose of C language is to be fast, either running quickly or crash rapidly. It only cares whether the program flies high, and never cares whether the programmer is tired. There is no language in this world that is easy to develop and fast to run. After all, easy development comes from the layer-by-layer packaging of the underlying layer."

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng paused for a moment and added: "There is a popular question now... Can you invent an equally fast language, but not as many pitfalls as C? The answer is yes, and there are already such languages, the name is, five years ago, a company called digitalma, intending to improve the C language, but it has not become popular."

Luo Sheng continued to say jokingly: "Because we have to face a very basic real problem, there are too many super many C codes now, and they are basically working normally, such as Linux, window, maos, unix, etc. The kernels of these operating systems are all C, and our AOS system kernel is also C."

"Although I'm not sure what proportion of C accounts for in Windows, I believe that Microsoft engineers will not use C# to rewrite the kernel of an operating system. I want these people to use your brand new language, which is a bit stupid and naive."

"It's like you are an IT science and engineering man. Now you are asked to change your career and write novels. Are you willing? Think about it? That means that all the experience, knowledge and efforts you have accumulated in the past are worthless. In the IT industry, you are a great master, but you are a novice. You have to learn how to write novels again."

"So you definitely don't want to. The reason is the same. The D language has not become popular. Developers would rather continue to optimize C. This is an ecological problem. The trend has been occupied by C. You want to start a new business and replace it. It is no less than restarting the entire human Internet infrastructure. Is this possible?"

"So those Chinese compilation is just to deceive investors who are not good at it. They cheat them of money. There are actually Chinese compilation, which seems pretty good, but you can do anything without it?"

"And some codes cannot be changed at all. After writing a simple 5 CPU flight control software, you need to conduct a full coverage test on it. What will happen if one or more of the CPUs fail? You can do a simple mathematical combination. After the test, you will find that not to mention rewriting, even adding a comment cannot be done."

"Then why should we insist on using C? In the future, when the near future is accompanied by the rise of embedded and instant systems, artificial intelligence, robots, autonomous driving, etc., these seem far away but promising in the future. These are the core applications of C language, and at this application level, C language has no competitors."

"Can we make mistakes with these trends? No!"

A few minutes later, when Luo Sheng was about to continue, a vibrating sound came from the cell phone in his pocket. He took it out and glanced at it. It was Qin Weimu's call.

"Okay, let's just do it for the time being. The time left for us is less than half a year. We must pass the AOS beta version and complete the underlying optimization in the next few days." Luo Sheng said this and left the hall first.

He is worthy of being the boss, and the engineers present suddenly felt awe and admired him.

Luo Sheng answered the phone after leaving the hall: "It's me, what's the matter?"

Qin Weimu replied on the other end of the phone: "Apple's CEO Jobs has visited in person, and is now in the company's waiting room."

Luo Sheng said in a daze: "I'm in the company? Why don't there be any news?"

Qin Weimu: "I heard from them that this visit was very low-key and the outside world didn't even know it."

Hearing this, Luo Sheng suddenly realized, and after a little thought, he roughly guessed the purpose of the leader Qiao Gang. Most of them came for the issue of patent barriers. Many key patents have now been registered by the Coast of Blue.

Let’s talk about multi-touch screen technology, this is a touch panel with a transparent sensing medium, which is used to detect multi-touch or adjacent touches that occur simultaneously at different locations on the touch panel, and generates different signals representing the touch position on the touch panel for each touch in the multi-touch.

Apple has been working on this technology internally, but it is one step late to purchase patents, to be precise, it is one month later.

"Okay, I'll come here now."

Luo Sheng finished the communication, gave a few instructions, and left the Costa delta and went to the company's office building.

About ten minutes later, he met Jobs in the reception room.

Putting aside other factors, Luo Sheng still respects Master Qiao quite a bit. Although Apple's iPhone series in the previous life was becoming increasingly ugly in industrial design.

However, the industrial design of the iPhone 4 generation mobile phones has indeed broken people's inherent perception of mobile phones. The leader of the Qiao Gang made a consumer electronic product into a work of art.

But then again, after returning to reality, Luo Sheng would not hold this emotional emotion, and would not give Apple and Joe any way, so he had to leave no way.

The Coast of Blue is still owing a lot of debts to the bank. Gang Qiao came over this time and couldn't do it without knocking on the apple.

Ahem, I can't say that, it's a patent fee, it's natural, this is how foreigners play.

You should know that many domestic classical prescriptions have been patented by foreigners. They were originally invented by our ancestors, but in the end they had to pay for foreigners when they used them themselves. I was so angry that I could not make a fuss.

This meeting was a meeting with a total age difference of 30 years between the two sides, but the classic magic power of Gangmao Qiao, which had its own "reality twisted force field", failed to work here with Luo Sheng.

If you fool or fool, you will definitely be unable to fool anything.

The two sides simply talked about Apple's failed work in the mobile phone market for the first time.

Luo Sheng smiled and said, "I also bought one of the rokr's launches. This product is doomed to fail because rokr's impact on ipod is inevitable, but ipod has brought a lot of money to Apple. Your company hopes to alleviate its impact, so on rokr, we try our best to limit the functions of the itunes software to reduce the threat to ipod."

"Obviously, this is tangled, and Motorola doesn't want to make a new attempt at digital music on its best-selling models, and Apple doesn't want to showcase the essence of its itunes playback software on Rokr."

"This phone is like a mentally retarded child born to two extremely smart and genius parents. It cannot download music directly. It requires a computer to upload songs to the phone. It can only save 100 music. As a consumer, I am deeply disappointed. I wasted more than 300 US dollars in vain, and you have to pay me."

Gang Qiao: “…”

Luo Sheng’s current mentality is to talk to Lao Qiao Pingshi. This is not a question of respect or not. It is now a dialogue scene with the same status.

Faced with Luo Sheng's joke, Gangmaster Qiao felt embarrassed but helpless because he could not find a reason to refute.

This topic was quickly passed by. Although the two sides were 30 years apart, the leader of the Qiao Gang did not underestimate the young man in front of him.

A company that can easily be founded in the capital circle and has completed the listing of IPO in just three years. Now that the market value is above Apple, how can such a person seem so simple on the surface?

If he is really a simple little kid who is as young as he appears on the surface, can he create such achievements? Come on.

Age has become his best way to disguise, making others look down on him.

Strictly speaking, Apple is now competing with Bluestar Technology Group. The leader of Qiao is actually dissatisfied with this. Apple has not entered the social network, but Bluestar Technology has entered the digital music market.

Old Qiao was extremely convinced that Luo Sheng wanted to kill itunes. Although Musispae's market share was only about 15%, itunes firmly dominated the digital music market share under the popularity of ipods, but this was enough to make the leader of Qiao pay attention to it.

The conversation was also very interesting. Gangmaster Qiao seemed to be asking what the Costa à was doing between the lines, while Luo Sheng was talking nonsense and fooling Gangmaster Qiao. The Costa àn’t-have made a flip machine, which had a plastic keyboard.

Old Qiao smiled in his heart, obviously very suspicious, and was testing the other party.

"Sometimes life will pick up a brick and slap your head. The patent barrier of the Costa delle of the Blue is to slap a brick at Apple." Jobs shook his head with a chuckle and looked at Luo Sheng in front of him. He added: "Mr. Luo, Apple hopes to obtain 26 patent authorizations under your company, including multi-touch screen technology."

The assistant who accompanied the gang leader took out a text material from his briefcase and handed it to Luo Sheng. The latter closed it at a rough look and said with a smile: "These 26 patents are licensing, but in terms of the licensing fee, Apple has to pay a $350 million licensing fee every year, sign a five-year contract, and pay $350 million on time today every year."

“What?”

When Gang Qiao heard the amount of his offer, it would be impossible to say that he was not angry.

It costs US$350 million per year, and it will cost 5 years, which is US$1.75 billion. It is like a lion's mouth, which is even ugly than Qualcomm's appearance.

Why don't you grab it?

"The authorization fee of $350 million per year is very unreasonable and I can't accept it." Gang Qiao said without hesitation, it was obvious that he was robbing money.

"No, we have spent a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. The company's operations also need to be maintained by profits. I cannot accept it even if it is lower than this price." Luo Sheng said firmly. He was determined to take the price of Apple, and this is the price that Luo Sheng rejected the Qiao Gangmaster.

If the leader of the Qiao Gang or others from Apple did not take the initiative to come to seek patent authorization, Luo Sheng might not be able to control it. After all, his own arrival in the world has undergone tremendous changes, and his appearance and the emergence of Blue Star Technology Group are the biggest changes.

But Lao Qiao came in person, which made Luo Sheng judge that Apple must be secretly promoting the development of the iPhone project. As a result, when it opened the fog in front of him, he found that there was a huge patent barrier standing in front.

Moreover, this also gave Luo Sheng another extremely important basis for judgment. Apple's iPhone project was at least ten months behind the plan, or even more.

If Luo Sheng was giving Apple cards here, he might not be able to successfully launch the iPhone by 2008. Even with the urinary nature of the leader Qiao, would the iPhone be put on hold because of his arrogant attitude?

This is possible. The iPad project was not allowed because of the development of multi-touch screens. Now it is just that Lao Qiao is thrown into the cold palace, and grandma doesn’t love my uncle.

You should know that before a large group company launched a product, it is unknown how many projects it lost.
