Rebirth 08: Rise from copycat phones

Chapter 142 Yun OS3.0 System
If a mobile phone manufacturer's system development team is capable enough, they can use the underlying core codes contributed by Zhiyun Technology and integrate them into their own customized system.

It’s an open source system. Zhiyun Technology won’t sue you and can’t sue you anyway.

But... most mobile phone manufacturers can't do this kind of thing, as it involves the most basic system development capabilities.

The so-called system teams of today's traditional mobile phone manufacturers are just responsible for changing the fonts, icons, and interfaces... As for changing the core code at the bottom level of the system or even optimizing the integration... Don't count on it, they don't have the ability to do that.

You should know that Zhiyun Technology, which has such capabilities, has more than a thousand R&D personnel working on the YUN OS system alone.

There are more people than in the entire smartphone project team of an ordinary mobile phone manufacturer, not to mention the R&D personnel of Zhiyun Technology Forest. All of them have scientific research quotas, and many of them are scientific research experts who can do the work of several people.

In the contemporary world, in the field of Android system research, even Google's own Android team dare not say that it is stronger than Zhiyun's system team...even though Google's Android team is the creator of this system.

In some cases, the current Google Android team even needs the help of Zhiyun's system team to continue to maintain the rapid upgrade and iteration of the Android open source version.

Because the current Android open source public version system has begun to adopt a large number of core codes contributed by the Zhiyun Technology system team.

Judging from the amount of code contribution and growth rate of Zhiyun Technology to the Android system, it is estimated that it will soon surpass the Google team...

It’s hard to say whether the Android system will be considered Android or Zhiyun’s at that time… After all, this thing is open source, anyone can modify it and use it…

At present, Zhiyun Technology's continued research and development in the Yun os system has greatly surpassed the original Android version in progress.

It can even be said that the current Android public version system is of no use to the YUN OS system... The Android open source public version that has not yet been released is expected to adopt a large amount of core code contributed by the Yunos system.

At this time, in order to maintain the continuous improvement of its own system, Zhiyun Technology will inevitably have to continue to delve into the core of the system and carry out comprehensive optimization, upgrades and changes.

The Yun OS 3.0 system is the first attempt by Zhiyun Technology to modify the underlying core code of the system on its own, optimize and upgrade the entire system, and add a number of functional components.

Due to its particularity, this is why the YUN OS3 system will be officially launched as a product at the spring conference.

To some extent, this is indeed a system product of Zhiyun Technology, but not entirely... You say it is not Android, but it is indeed an Android core.

But if you say it is Android, it is indeed very different from the current Android. Most of the underlying system codes are modified and rebuilt by Zhiyun Technology itself, and a large number of very unique functional components have been added... and these functional components actually have little to do with Google.

The reason why we continue to use this Android core instead of developing a separate system is not a technical issue, but an ecological issue.

The Android system is very special. It is a completely open system in which all mobile phone manufacturers, software manufacturers, and even ordinary individuals can participate. This has built an open ecosystem with a very high degree of openness and completeness.

Everyone is willing to participate in the development of the Android ecosystem because this ecosystem is open and anyone can use it. Only when everyone works together can the ecosystem develop sustainably and eventually have a huge ecological chain.

If you want to create a closed ecosystem, it will be more difficult. You need to spend countless manpower and materials, and a lot of money to create a barely usable ecosystem at the beginning, and then you can talk about slowly expanding the ecosystem.

Even for fruits, they did not create a new ecosystem from the beginning. Their apple ecosystem has been developing for decades and has accumulated enough ecological content.

At the same time, Fruit also has sufficient background and brand appeal to allow a large number of software manufacturers and individual developers to develop new ecological content for their systems.

This would be impossible if you changed the mobile phone manufacturer.

Companies like Nooya, Sixing, Mora, etc. that tried to develop their own systems have basically all failed. Even a strong company like Microsoft that wants to develop a new mobile phone system still encounters unsolvable problems in the ecosystem.

Therefore, if we want to create a closed system in modern times, there is actually no great technical difficulty in creating a simple system, but the problem is that the ecosystem cannot be managed.

During the mobile phone melee in recent years, various systems have emerged one after another. Many of them are quite good, and even have some very unique and innovative features, but in the end they all disappeared into history.

This actually has little to do with how good your system is... basically it all dies because of the ecological content... because a large number of software manufacturers and individual developers do not accept it.

This is not talking about hundreds or thousands of software suppliers, but a huge scale of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands... We are talking about developers all over the world.

In the era of smartphones, the only company that has truly risen from scratch is Android...There are many reasons for its success, but the core is just one: open source.

As for the fruit system, this is not a new system. Fruit companies have been working on it for decades.

This is why Xu Shenxue has always insisted on working on Android... He can stand directly on the shoulders of giants, use Android's open source ecosystem to quickly enter the market, and set off a wave of smartphones.

Later on, they will naturally use their own brands and huge mobile phone stocks to build a semi-closed ecosystem, and even a closed ecosystem in the end. When they have built their own semi-closed or even closed ecosystem in the later stage, things will be easy to do, and they can even get rid of Android and do it themselves.

In order to be able to take this step smoothly in the future, Xu Shenxue has never stopped developing the system. When others are satisfied with using native Android and at most change the font interface, Zhiyun Technology has been deeply engaged in research and development at the bottom level of the system from the beginning and has contributed a large amount of core code to Android.

By now, we have simply abandoned the Android public version and started to build and upgrade the underlying core code on our own... We no longer have to design based on the Android public version as before.

In other words, although the subsequent YunOS still uses the Android core, it belongs to the Android open source system camp and shares a complete ecosystem.

However, the system itself has nothing to do with the Android public version system. Zhiyun Technology will develop and improve the Yunos system on its own, and gradually move towards a semi-closed system, and finally a closed system... Technology is not a problem in this process. As long as Xu Shenxue is willing, he can create a completely closed YUN OS system tomorrow!

But the ecology will be destroyed!
You have to eat rice one mouthful at a time. If you pour a bowl of rice directly into your mouth, you won’t be full, but will choke to death...

Working on the system is no exception. Xu Shenxue plans to take it step by step... Anyway, this thing can't be blocked. At most, Google will not allow Zhiyun Technology to use the subsequent Android public version open source system.

But there is no need to wait until later. Zhiyun Technology is no longer using the open source version of Android... In Song Changhai's words: The Android public version is too bad, with too many anti-human things, it's an eyesore...

For example, when it comes to opening various permissions such as background resident and startup, it is completely incomprehensible that those engineers came up with these ideas... Zhiyun Technology did not use these crappy things from the beginning, but directly castrated them and built a new permission management system by itself.

In addition, Google is not very dedicated to developing the Android system... The investment is limited, so the research and development progress is too slow and cannot keep up with the development pace of Zhiyun Technology.

Finally, the Yun OS3.0 system appeared!
The Spring Festival of 10 was nothing special for Zhiyun Technology, but it was a little special for Xu Shenxue... A few days before the New Year of that year, Lin Yaxian visited Xu Shenxue's home for the first time.

It’s not as an ordinary friend... There are no ordinary friends of the opposite sex who would go to someone’s home as a guest before the New Year alone.

Lin Yaxian came to visit as a girlfriend... As soon as she entered the door, she was pulled away by Xu's mother to chat.

How to say it, Xu's mother met Lin Yaxian much more often than Xu Shenxue!
In the past six months, Xu's mother has been getting along with Lin Yaxian's mother, Lin's mother, and they have become "best friends". The two people are of similar age, both in their early fifties, and they are in the same circle. Maybe their hobbies are basically the same... The ladies in this circle don't have any special hobbies, nothing more than shopping, beauty and the like.

Xu's mother and Lin's mother often play together, so naturally they can see Lin Yaxian often. Sometimes, even when Lin's mother is busy and has no time, Xu's mother will call Lin Yaxian to go shopping for beauty treatments or attend some parties.

A few days ago, she took Lin Yaxian to a charity auction. Xu's mother spent several million to buy a pair of earrings for Lin Yaxian... Of course, the real value of this thing is only about 100,000 yuan. The reason why it is so expensive is because this is a charity auction.

It doesn’t matter what is filmed on occasions like this. What’s important is that the charity donations are in place… Anyway, no matter what is filmed, the two or three million will have to be spent.

If she hadn't planned to spend the money, Xu's mother wouldn't have come in the first place.

Outsiders may not know, but everyone in the circle knows that her son has become the new richest man in the world...You can either not attend such occasions, or if you do, you have to donate money commensurate with your status.

It just so happened that Lin Yaxian took a few more glances at the pair of earrings, so Xu's mother simply took a picture of them and gave them to her.

Then Lin Yaxian happily accepted it, and also bought an antique pocket watch worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, saying that she would give it to Xu Shenxue...

She is also a wealthy woman, and the money she spends on this kind of occasion is not her own. Her father gave her the funds for the event... She has enough money to buy a gift for her boyfriend!

Seeing this, Xu's mother was happier than when she received the gift herself...

After Lin Yaxian used the money given by her father to buy fame, she gave the things to her boyfriend... According to confidential and non-public information... Lin Yaxian's father was reportedly depressed for several days after learning the news.

Xu Shenxue wasn’t quite sure about how Xu’s mother and Lin Yaxian got along on a daily basis… but judging from the fact that Xu’s mother would praise Lin Yaxian in front of him whenever she found the chance… he guessed that Xu’s mother was very satisfied with Lin Yaxian.

He also felt that he got along quite well with Lin Yaxian, so although he was still somewhat resistant to things like marriage in his heart, he thought that things were fine now and he should just let nature take its course.

It was only the third day after the Chinese New Year, and Xu Shenxue went back to work... He had been busy recently and it was impossible for him to have much time to rest.

After Xu Shenxue arrived at the company, the first thing he did was to deal with the many matters related to the spring press conference.

This spring conference is quite important. The release of several hardware products and Yun OS3.0 system will have a great impact on the future of Zhiyun Technology.
