After listening to Wan Feng's plan, Xu Meilin pondered for a moment before asking only one question: "What are you using for terminal control? Are you planning to install a laptop in the car?"
Wan Feng shook his head. "It could hold a laptop, but how would the driver use it? Throw away the steering wheel to fiddle with the laptop? Touchscreen technology is available now. My idea is to put a touchscreen between RMB 1.5 and 9 on the center console of the car. The driver could then just reach out and tap anything they need."
Although touch screen technology has appeared now, the technology is not very mature and sometimes not very sensitive.
But this is not the main point, it will mature slowly.
Xu Meilin pondered for a long time. "It shouldn't be difficult to implement. What I'm worried about is whether your touch screen can be used well."
If the touch screen is not sensitive, then the best system is useless.
"This is not your concern. Just like when you're about to go into the delivery room to give birth, it's not your concern to worry about what your man should eat when he's hungry."
Xu Meilin rolled her eyes at Wan Feng and said, "You're just good at coming up with weird metaphors. Is there a time limit?"
"There's no time limit, at least not within the next two years. This thing won't be used in the next two years. You just design the software system and we'll use it to design applications and lay the foundation for future applications."
There was no time limit, and Xu Meilin felt that it was not difficult, so she readily agreed.
After leaving Xu Meilin's department, Wan Feng entered Qin Guanghui's department.
In his previous life, Gates once said that VMware was only eighteen months away from bankruptcy.
Eighteen months, one and a half years, more than five hundred and forty days, this is actually a very long journey.
To put it simply, it is still a long way to go.
But in this life, Weisoft is not that far away from bankruptcy. Since the advent of Netscape Huaguang 97 interface, Weisoft's living space has been greatly compressed.
The emergence of Netscape Huaguang System strangled the numerous plagues invested by Weisoft in the cradle, causing Weisoft to suffer heavy losses.
Even the unborn plague system 98 died in the womb, so there was no time to research a new system. Moreover, Netscape 97 continued to make up for its own shortcomings with an update rate of once every three months, which made Weiruan at a loss.
Although Weiruan struggled with all his might, he had no weapons to fight against his opponent, and he could only delay his death. The only outcome was still death.
At this time, Weisoft's market value had fallen from a peak of 50 billion US dollars to a little more than 10 billion US dollars.
An American online company has already started to make an offer to acquire Weisoft. It seems that the acquisition of Weisoft will not be later than September.
In the previous life, Netscape was acquired by AOL in 1998 when it was in decline after its glory days. In this life, it was AOL that made the same bid to acquire Netscape, but the target of the acquisition became Weisoft, and the time was one year later than in the previous life.
It is only a matter of time before America Online acquires Weisoft. After acquiring Weisoft, it will still develop interfaces and browsers, but the trend has passed and no matter how hard it tries, it will be powerless to turn the tide.
After Weisoft disappears, Netscape will dominate the interface market.
Wan Feng was very relieved that the giant Weiruan did not cause any trouble in this life.
He had already begun to consider the serious question of when to break away from Netscape and start his own business.
Of course, this is not something Huaguang can do now. Huaguang has not yet joined the WTO and still needs to rely on Netscape to occupy the European and American markets.
If Huaguang gets rid of Netscape now, maybe Weiruan will be able to revive fully, and then everything Huaguang has done will be in vain.
Even getting rid of Netscape will be a matter of seven or eight years later. The two sides should cooperate first, and it will not be too late to solve this problem by the time of the Beijing Olympics.
It will take nearly ten years to get rid of Netscape, so who will be the next opponent to be eliminated?
Sansheng or Yinter?
They have to be killed anyway. Wan Feng has never shown any mercy to foreigners.
The Huaguang 2000 system developed by Qin Guanghui's department was completed and was preparing to begin internal testing.
In order to shorten the testing time, some hackers in Shanghai were also mobilized to find loopholes in the system.
Wan Feng came to Qin Guanghui mainly to inquire about the development of the mobile phone system, and just asked about the PC casually.
Huaguang mobile phones now use the WinCE operating system. Although it has forced Weiruan into a desperate situation on PC systems, it is still using WinCE on mobile phone systems. This is ironic.
Qin Guanghui is currently developing a mobile phone operating system based on the Huaguang 97 system. However, he had been developing the Huaguang 97 PC system for some time, and only started formal research and development last year. It is a bit late, and the Huaguang mobile phone will not be able to benefit from it in the short term.
This is not a problem. This operation was originally intended to be used on 3G mobile phones. There are still four years before 3G mobile phones are released, so there is still time.
Wanfeng's requirement for this mobile phone operating system is that it should have smartphone performance and be able to be used on smartphones at any time after 3G mobile phones are released.
It took only four years from the time 3G mobile phones came on the market in 2003 to the appearance of Apple smartphones in 2007.
When Wan Feng was guiding Qin Guanghui to start working on the mobile phone system, he told Qin Guanghui in detail about the performance and features of Symbian S60 and the later Android systems, and even explained the Apple mobile phone system.
What he meant was that within the reachable range, Qin Guanghui could use his own NW97 system to combine the advantages of Symbian S60 and Android to develop a series of mobile phone systems that could be used at any time according to market demand from the emergence of 3G to the launch of smart phones, and could also lead the trend of the times.
This topic is quite difficult. Wan Feng is worried that Qin Guanghui is facing too much pressure, so he comes mainly to encourage Qin Guanghui.
When Qin Guanghui first arrived in Nanwan, he was still a handsome young man. Now he is a husband and a father, with an unshaven beard, like an unkempt middle-aged uncle.
This made Wan Feng want to laugh when he saw him.
"Boss Wan! I feel bad luck the moment I see you."
"Mr. Qin! Are you saying that I'm in the same trench with the Black and White Impermanence?"
"Almost! I'm almost going crazy from the tasks you've given me. These systems are too complicated, and I can't integrate them at all."
What Qin Guanghui was talking about were naturally the mobile phone operating systems that Wan Feng introduced.
"Who asked you to integrate them? It's impossible for them to be integrated. No matter how you mix oil and water, they won't blend completely. I just want them to take the best of each and create something unique. Can you blame me for trying to trip you up?"
Qin Guanghui was puzzled: "Isn't this the same thing?"
"They are not the same thing, Qin Gong! You are so busy now that you are confused. You should recharge your batteries. I will give you two weeks off to take your wife and children out for a walk. When you come back, I promise you can solve the problem."
It seemed like Qin Guanghui hadn't gone out to change his mood for several years. Wan Feng felt that letting him go out and relax would be helpful for his research.
