The proposal for the electrification of urban buses put forward by Weilai has received national attention. After research and discussion by all parties, it is planned to begin promotion and implementation in 2005.

Of course, this news cannot be conveyed now. This suggestion is as silent as a cow drowning in the sea.

But Jiang Yu didn't care whether there was any news from above, and had already started to ask the mold factory to build the second and third electric bus production lines, this time the ten-meter and eleven-meter long electric buses.

Prepare in advance for the future electric public transportation in cities across the country.

This will prevent you from selling any cars when you promote it all at once.

Regardless of the fact that they currently have a production capacity of 5,000 buses and have to go out to find buyers, if they start promoting electric buses, this amount of production will not be enough.

Instead of rushing around when the time comes, it’s better to prepare in advance.

In the blink of an eye, the Andy Rubin team has been working in China for eight months.

In the previous life, Andy Rubin established the Android company in October 2003, and it was not acquired by Google until August 17, 2005.

It took another two years after Android was acquired by Google before the operating system called Android was announced to the outside world on November 5, 2007.

But now that they have entered Weilai, they have directly started research and development of the operating system.

It turns out that Weilai engineers have been developing an operating system for several years, which saved them a lot of effort and made many detours.

In eight months, they actually developed the research results they had obtained when they were acquired by Google in their previous life.

And it’s not like the previous generation of Android, where it was mainly imitating the Symbian and BlackBerry operating systems.

Although Jiang Yu could not study mobile phone operating systems, he described the operating interface and functions of the Android phones he had played in his previous life.

Weilai's engineers studied this mobile operating system in accordance with Jiang Yu's requirements.

This operating system has completely abandoned the operating system used by the previous generation of mobile phones.

It is precisely because of this and because the technical requirements are too high that Weilai engineers did not succeed in developing it.

After receiving these studies, Andy Rubin was greatly impressed, but he also believed that these system requirements cannot be successfully researched based on current technology, but it can still be achieved if some of them are successfully developed first.

Jiang Yu's instruction is to study as much as he can now.

In this way, the development progress of the operating system will be much faster.

Zhang Chong revealed that according to the current progress, this operating system is expected to be developed by the end of next year.

Andy Rubin is also very anxious to finish studying the mobile phone operating system quickly, so that he can play with robots.

Robots are his eternal dream.

As long as Andy Rubin puts the Android operating system...

No! This system is no longer called Android. It is now led by Weilai and naturally has to give it its own name.

What do you call this nondescript Android thing?

The name comes from the name of a robot in a science fiction book.

This shows how deep Andy Rubin’s obsession with robots is.

Jiang Yu wanted to name this operating system after a mountain.

The most famous mountain in China is the Himalayas.

But the name is a bit too long.

In addition to the Himalayas, the most famous mountains in China are the Five Mountains.

How about naming it after Mount Tai?

No matter what kind of mountain it is, as long as this system can be done well, smartphones will be launched in 2006.

Let the apple drink the ashes behind.

Jiang Yu is thinking about whether he can support this system by relying on Wei Lai?

In the previous version of Android, more than 30 companies were united to form an alliance following the example of BlackBerry.

China Mobile of China is also involved.

There are really only a few manufacturers in the alliance established by Android that are serious about manufacturing mobile phones. The only ones are Motorola and Hongda.

Motorola is still fishing in the water, and the only one that takes it seriously is HTC.

.

HTC is the htc that many people were familiar with in the previous life.

Originally, he was working with Microsoft, but when Microsoft's system was first launched as a mobile phone, it was blocked by Lenovo, so it turned around and joined the Android Alliance.

Hongda is really doing its best.

At that time, Motorola and Samsung were busy developing smartphones based on Android OS, and did not care about Android at all.

Only HTC uses Android as a lifeline.

Fifty engineers were sent to California for retreat, and they also made the first smartphone based on Android system, htcexca300.

But it was of no use. I got up early and rushed to a late meeting, and my smartphone became useless after just a few years of use.

Jiang Yu is wondering if this system is not open source, will it be short-lived because no mobile phone manufacturers adopt it?

If no other mobile phone manufacturers adopt it, there won't be many companies developing applications for it, so it is very likely that its end will be a dead end.

If it is open source, Samsung will join in and interfere.

Before the emergence of the Android system, Samsung was a little transparent in the field of mobile phones, always on the margins.

It was the Android phone that gave it a new lease of life, allowing it to behave like a dog in the Android system.

Jiang Yu does not want to see Samsung develop because of its own system.

If it is not open source...

The Apple system is not an open source system, but it relies on its own mobile phones to survive, and its life is quite prosperous.

Can I change it to myself?

Jiang Yu thought about it and finally decided to open source it.

Only if another manufacturer follows suit and uses this system will this mobile operating system survive.

As for surviving on his own mobile phones like Apple, Jiang Yu doesn't have much confidence.

After all, it is an American company and has a unique advantage in soft power.

Although China is now beginning to emerge in the manufacturing field, it has not yet formed a huge influence on the world.

Jiang Yu doesn't want to take risks in this regard.

When Android completed the system and built a family bucket for Google, does Weilai also need a Weila bucket?

The system is free, but you can make money through search and store and advertising.

This thing is a bit confusing, so let’s let college students figure it out.

Jiang Yu told Zhang Chong to let his people learn from others. This opportunity is rare.

The people on Weilai's side who participate in the mobile phone system will become a huge asset to Weilai Group.

After people like Andy Rubin leave in the future, the future of Weilai Electronics will be in the hands of these people.

Smartphones are under intense research and development, and feature phones are also being output like a stream.

In the first half of 2004, Weilai mobile phones shipped 50 million units.

There should be no problem with mobile phone sales exceeding 100 million units this year.

Weilai Mobile should also go out and set up factories outside.

If you want to set up a factory, of course you have to go to a place where human resources are cheap.

In fact, if North Korea had not had unstable policies, it would really be a good place to invest and run businesses.
