Time Travel: 2014 - Chapter 392

c392 The soil where software lives

Even if you want to have a smooth handover with the Apple team in the next period of time, there is a high probability that Elizabeth Nice will be indispensable for coordination.

If the subsequent series of upgrade tasks are successfully completed, it will cost 30 million US dollars.

In this case, let alone one dinner with Elizabeth Nish, even ten dinners are not out of the question.

In addition, dealing with relatively pure technicians like Elizabeth Nish.

Lin Hui didn’t resist it deep down.

In short, Lin Hui happily agreed to the dinner invitation from Elizabeth Nish.

There is nothing to say about eating and drinking.

Overall, it was a good dinner.

Of course, technical personnel who grow up in different cultural backgrounds will inevitably have some collisions in their thinking.

There was also an episode during the dinner.

Elizabeth Nice asked Lin Hui if he was interested in working in Apple.

Although Elizabeth Nice’s tone at the time sounded like a joke.

But how to say it? How many truths are spoken unintentionally in the form of jokes.

Lin Hui didn’t know whether Elizabeth Nice’s vague mention represented herself or Apple officials, so Lin Hui didn’t respond clearly.

Listening to Lin Hui’s ambiguous answer, Elizabeth Nishi’s personal suggestion was that Lin Hui should go to the United States to develop in the future.

Elizabeth Nice’s original words were: “Lin, I think your route in the future will most likely be the software route, but your country has almost no soil for software to grow…”

The subtext of Elizabeth Nice’s so-called development in the United States is nothing more than becoming a banana person.

This suggestion was dismissed by Lin Hui almost without thinking.

But the software survival environment Elizabeth Nice said is indeed a problem.

An indisputable fact in China is that the software industry is in decline.

At first glance, domestic Ali series and TX series software are emerging one after another, and it seems that they cannot be said to be in decline.

But compare the current situation of software in overseas markets.

You will be very sad to find that the domestic software market is completely enclosure.

Let’s take SaaS. The so-called SaaS is the abbreviation of Software-as-a-Service, which means software as a service, that is, software services are provided through the network.

This is a completely innovative software application model that began to emerge in the 21st century.

Its core is to provide software services based on the Internet.

From a technical perspective: SaaS is a simple deployment and does not require the purchase of any hardware. It only requires simple registration at the beginning.

Enterprises no longer need to equip professional and technical personnel in IT, and at the same time, they can obtain the latest technological applications to meet the enterprise’s needs for information management.

From an investment perspective: Enterprises only invest with relatively low “monthly fees”, do not need to make a one-time investment, and do not occupy too much working capital, thereby alleviating the pressure of insufficient funds for enterprises; there is no need to consider cost depreciation issues, and can be made in a timely manner Get the latest hardware platforms and best solutions.

From the perspective of maintenance and management: Since enterprises adopt a leasing method for logistics business management, they do not need dedicated maintenance and management personnel, nor do they need to pay additional fees for maintenance and management personnel. To a great extent, it relieves the pressure on human and financial resources of enterprises, allowing them to concentrate funds on effective operations of core businesses; SaaS allows users to be a completely independent system in the world. If they are connected to the network, with the help of SaaS The system can be accessed easily.

Because of its many advantages, the concept of software as a service has become very popular internationally in the past few years.

Many leading domestic Internet companies that are following the trend have seen the business opportunities and have also entered this field.

The boasts were loud and clear, but the so-called software as a service that came out in the end was all specious.

There are even many things that are completely similar to Yetu, but actually have different tastes.

Foreign SaaS vendors or other enterprise service vendors often provide modular solutions.

Customers find their own solutions based on the solutions provided.

In the domestic market.

On the contrary, SaaS vendors or other enterprise service vendors are only limited to helping customers solve problems.

In short, foreign Internet giants engage in SaaS to become grandfathers.

However, the grandfathers of many domestic followers did not regard it as a success, and their fathers did not regard it as a success either. They went full circle and immediately became grandsons.

The quality is simply low.

There is no need to explain some of the more trendy concepts in the software industry if you don’t understand them.

Talking about the specific software itself, it is even more miserable.

At this time in China, except for one WPS that has a bit of a presence.

For the rest, there are almost only a handful of domestic professional software with a high degree of commercialization.

As for ordinary software, it can be done.

But it’s not necessarily the developers who make money.

On the contrary, pirates are crazily profiting from it.

There is an ancient poem like “He who is covered with silkworms is not a silkworm breeder.” Perhaps the poet did not realize at the time that he was describing a scene from later generations.

Anyway, the software development industry is often filled with people who are not developers.

Although the current situation of domestic software development has various problems.

But on the other hand, the decline of the current situation also means that Lin Hui has a lot of room for display.

Lin Hui feels that the bright future of domestic software and the software industry cannot be directly denied just because the current situation is not optimistic.

The current situation is that if you get involved in pure software in China, the initial environment is definitely not as good as abroad.

But no environment can create an environment.

When people of insight discover the person who can bring unprecedented vitality to the domestic software industry (Lin Hui: Yes, it is below).

Lin Hui believes that the corresponding environment (whether it is a legal environment or a public opinion environment) can be easily established.

Lin Hui believes that if software development is rooted in the country for a long time, it also means that it can have a stable rear area and high enough guaranteed resources.

For example, the operating system that Lin Hui will move in the future.

If the operating system is very successful.

Of course, I didn’t say anything about that. Just make steady progress into the international market according to the situation and that’s it.

But it doesn’t matter if we can’t come up with an excellent operating system that can enter the international market.

As long as the basic functions of the operating system are adequate, there is no need to worry about user issues.

After all, no matter how bad things Lin Hui does, they are still made in China.

When it comes to information security, many units have a grudge against foreign operating systems.

It can be said that by then Lin Hui will make a system that is compatible enough and has a low learning threshold.

So even the operating system that Lin Hui develops in the future will be slightly inferior to mainstream operating systems.

There is no need to worry about promotion and other issues.

As long as the function is reasonable and it is backed by the title of “domestic”.

Everything is no big deal.

There is no need to worry about user issues.

Two hundred million potential users is a conservative estimate.

And there is no need to question the execution efficiency in converting potential users into real users.

It is entirely possible that it will be promoted at the administrative level.

In this way, 200 million users is a very conservative estimate.

It’s not that Lin Hui is blindly optimistic. A little understanding of the terrifying user base of software like the National Anti-Fraud Center will tell you where Lin Hui’s confidence comes from.

There are too many things that don’t need to be said, since you all understand them anyway.
