The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 1117 Don't use it if you have the skills
"We are very satisfied with everything about the quinary system. It is this Chinese programming language. I am afraid it is difficult for us to accept!" People generally feel very good, because the five-ary system has opened a whole new door for them.

However, these developers also have their own opinions and ideas, and the biggest one is the Chinese programming language issue.

After all, only about 10% of the people who are working in China look like Chinese people, and the remaining 90% are almost all foreign individual developers. They naturally have a lot of opinions on the Chinese programming language.

On the last day of the entire developer conference, when everyone communicated and communicated freely, more than three-digit developers put forward their opinions to the organizing committee, requesting to develop an English version of the programming language, or simply translate the Chinese The language of the version has been completely changed to the language of the English version.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for everyone to learn a language from scratch and then program, which is very detrimental to the promotion of the quinary system.

"First of all, I want to explain to everyone!" After receiving so much feedback, Zuo Sicheng also attached great importance to it, and explained it at the meeting as soon as possible.

"I won't go into details on how Chinese is suitable for use in the quinary system. After all, everyone has their own opinions, and I can't force everyone to believe my conclusion."

"Also, I saw that everyone asked us to develop an English programming language, so I have a small question that I want to ask you. That is, how many of you are native speakers of English? ? Can you show me your hand?" Zuo Sicheng asked.

It seems that there will be a lot of people raising their hands in the imagination, but in fact, there are only less than 100 people raising their hands sparsely in the whole scene. You must know that there are more than 3000 independent developers on the scene.

"Many people may have the inherent impression that English is the language with the largest number of people and the most frequently used language among all the population in the world. But the fact is very ironic that the language with the largest number of people and the most frequently used in the world is actually Chinese. There are 14 billion people using it (including the Han Chinese in Southeast Asia), accounting for 20% of the world's total population."

"The second is English, but in fact only 7% of the world's population uses English as their mother tongue, and most of them are Americans and British. Although there are many countries that use English as their official language, even the first language, but the first choice for local use in these countries is their mother tongue, not English.”

"I don't understand why we should give up the most spoken language in the world and switch to the second most spoken language in the world?"

"Well, I know that in the eyes of many people, my statement is very biased, because even if you are not native speakers of English, you have gradually mastered it through learning and social communication when you grow up. English. Many people’s first language may not be English, but their second language is English!”

"Of course, the most important thing is that the binary system uses English, and everyone here must be very proficient in English, so it is logical that the five-ary programming language is also English!"

"So I also understand everyone's thoughts very well. I think it is reasonable for everyone to ask for English as a programming language. However, our Jiangnan Group is a Chinese company, and almost all of our staff are Chinese. We develop and use Huaxia language, as the official programming language of the pentadic language, recommends very reasonable and correct things, so I think that there is no problem with Chinese as the pentadic system programming language chosen by Jiangnan Group. The star language will be completely used as the only programming language for the quinary computer system."

"However, this only applies to our Jiangnan Group. And our entire five-ary system is completely open source, and all five-ary data and information are handed over to everyone. So if you think the star language is not good, Then you can write a programming language by yourself."

"I promise here that the Jiangnan Group will never hinder the promotion of any new programming language. As long as it does not violate the law and secular ethics, the Jiangnan Group will never interfere with anything that uses the five-ary system, nor will it But again, Jiangnan Group will not promote things that are of no great benefit to Jiangnan Group!"

Zuo Sicheng said a lot, but his core idea is only one sentence: "use it if you like it, make it yourself if you don't need it, or get out!"

Next, Jiangnan Group gave all the representatives participating in the meeting a solid-state hard drive with a capacity of up to 10TB, which contained the core data of the quinary computer system, as well as various development tools used by Jiangnan Group itself.

However, these are not the most capacity. The largest capacity is a teaching file of up to 5tb. There are everything from text teaching to video teaching, which is enough to train a computer novice into a 5-ary computer system programmer.

This is also the textbook summed up by Jiangnan University after 4 years of teaching practice. These things are all given away for free. It can be seen that Jiangnan Group is very sincere.

It also makes people feel emotional to say that this solid-state drive is sent to those individual developers, and the conscientious ones will copy the data to the mechanical hard drive, and then format the entire solid-state drive.

The unconscionable ones directly formatted the hard disk and used it to store various daily documents of their own.

It cannot be said that these individual developers are too uneducated and uneducated. In fact, there are no solid-state drives exceeding 2tb for sale in the market, and these individual developers cannot buy them if they want to.

Now I suddenly get a super solid-state hard drive with a capacity of up to 10TP. It is really unreasonable not to use it to store my own things.

In the end, this developer conference ended with a less successful result. The reason why it was not successful was that almost no companies had reached cooperation with Jiangnan Group.

Those individual developers said in their mouths that they would develop software in the quinary system in the future, but in fact, most of them didn't make any movement, and they only thought that they had participated in an entertainment activity.

Of course, there are also very few developers who are full of interest in the quinary system, and instead develop various software specifically for the quinary system, which are directly uploaded to the Universe Application Center.

At the beginning, it was out of interest, and I didn't think these small programs could cause much repercussions.

But they forget that the universe application center is closely linked with all universe terminals, and the various applications they upload appear in the application center of each terminal immediately.

Because the number of applications in the application center in the early stage is really not enough, and at the same time, Jiangnan Group's senior management also has very direct orders. When it comes in handy, it can be listed on the recommended position on the homepage of the application center almost immediately, and then a large number of users try and download it.

In the not-too-distant future, developers call the period from 2007 to the end of 2010 the golden age of pentary developers.During this period, Jiangnan Group launched a developer incentive plan for the universe terminal.

This incentive plan is very straightforward. It is based on the number of downloads of non-apps, the duration of use, etc., and then through the intelligent algorithm to exclude some maliciously generated data, reward these developers directly according to the data.

Among them, 1000 downloads are equal to 1 dollar, 100 hours of use are also equal to 1 dollar, etc. In this way, even a free software can directly earn a lot of income.

At the end of 2007, there was a program called "Tom Cat Learns to Talk". Using the radio and loudspeaker functions of the universe terminal, plus a voice-changing program, it easily won 10 million downloads. With a monthly quota of more than 100 million, the developer earns an income of 2 U.S. dollars in a month, killing an unknown number of programmers and bosses in seconds, which is enviable.

And the craziest thing was in 2009. At that time, the total sales volume of the universe terminal was already very scary, so there emerged more than ten individual developers with a monthly income of more than 40 US dollars. The existence of the king of heaven.

It's a pity that in 2010, the entire incentive plan was directly announced to be cancelled, but free software can still earn income, but it needs to obtain advertising income through built-in advertisements. The scale of income can no longer be compared with the golden age.

Closer to home, in the initial stage of the promotion of the entire universe terminal and the five-ary computer system, the universe terminal is killing the special kill, and the entire market is surging.

However, the promotion of the five-ary computer system has fallen into a quagmire, with almost no progress.Throughout October, none of the third-party programs were on the shelves.

In November, there were finally 11, and in December, there was one less, that is, only 6.

In other words, in 2007, there were only 11 universe terminal applications developed by third parties, that is, whenever the media wrote about it, they would sigh, saying that these were the 11 stars that broke the starry sky of the times.

A few years later, the Jiangnan Group organized a special activity, which was to find the creators of these 11 stars, and then awarded a star trophy to these people.

The trophy itself is nothing special, but it is made of pure gold weighing 10 kilograms, and the surface of the trophy is inlaid with 108 6-carat diamonds.
