After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 141 Hao Cheng's plan to divide the giants
Lin Wen, Yan Shi...

In one afternoon, Hao Cheng met with all the software companies that he thought had some promise, most of which were not well-known.

The cooperation framework and related arrangements were determined one by one. The next afternoon, Hao Cheng called them together for a small meeting.

"Being able to sit here proves one thing," Hao Cheng said directly, "Everyone or your company has ideas. Regardless of your strength, at least you know how to make progress.

“No matter what you were like before, no matter how big you were, no matter how much revenue you had, starting today, it’s going to be different.

"Each of you has your own competitors. For the next six months, you will have only one goal, which is to defeat the competitors assigned to you.

"Lin Wen, Mongo system, your target is Windows. You need to surpass Windows in domestic market share in three months, and strangle it in six months! And you need to reach 3% worldwide."

This was the first order Hao Cheng issued after Lin Wen officially joined Baiju Technology.

"Boss Hao, me?" Lin Wen's palms were sweating. He was confident, but that was Windows, a giant with over 90% of the PC market share. How could he kill it in six months? This...

"What? No confidence?" Hao Cheng said: "If you don't have confidence, I will change people! Cao Song..."

"Don't!" Lin Wen stood up instantly: "I have confidence!"

You should never tell your leader that you have no confidence at any time. Even if you don’t have confidence, you should take the next step first. Otherwise, the opportunity will slip away from you.

"All of Xiaosha's current abilities are open to you." Hao Cheng motioned Lin Wen to sit down. "Also, if Mongo needs any abilities that Xiaosha doesn't have now, you can also ask for them. I can satisfy you in any way."

The accumulated energy points can never be used up, and Hao Cheng is not prepared to blindly improve Xiaosha's current abilities. He can just do what he needs in a targeted manner.

Unlike chips, which involve hardware and manufacturing and where energy points can play no role at all, systems and software require something and it is a matter of enhancing professional capabilities.

"I discussed the concept with you yesterday. We introduced AI to perform relevant scheduling at every level, including process management, storage and memory management, device and file management, and subsequent device scheduling and user interface.

"For example, resource allocation, can AI evaluate priorities and accurately schedule threads? Can it significantly improve performance? Xiaosha doesn't have the relevant capabilities now, but I can train you directly.

"You know, the training here is fast!"

Hao Cheng's limited knowledge about operating systems comes from a course called "Principles of Operating Systems" that he took during his undergraduate studies. He is not very professional in this area, and what he says contains many errors and omissions.

However, Lin Wen understood the ideas he expressed.

How important is the operating system?

There is an interesting example. In the early years, MediaTek's CPU was always inferior to Qualcomm's. Why? In addition to the chip itself, another big reason is the optimization and scheduling of the operating system.

In the early years, MediaTek's multi-core CPU was even ridiculed as "one core is in trouble, seven cores are watching", which was caused by unreasonable scheduling and allocation.

To this day, MediaTek's Dimensity chip is already very powerful, but there is still a huge gap in optimization and scheduling among different manufacturers. It is almost universally recognized in the industry that only the Dimensity tuned by blue and green manufacturers can compete with Qualcomm.

It can be seen from this that scheduling and training are also very difficult.

but now……

As long as Xiaosha brings up relevant abilities that he doesn't have, Mr. Hao will give him special training!
Lin Wen was instantly excited. He felt that it was the right decision to join Baiju Technology!

"Mr. Hao, I will make sure to complete the mission!" Lin Wen's voice was trembling a little - that was Xiaosha, who didn't know how strong Xiaosha was?
What's more, this Xiaosha can also accurately tailor training for every aspect of the operating system. If this is the case, he can no longer defeat Windows, so it would be better for him to just bang his head against the wall!

"If you can't handle it, I'll bring my head to you!"

For some reason, Lin Wen came up with this sentence, which made everyone present laugh, including Hao Cheng.

However, no matter how funny it is, I am really envious. This treatment is worthy of being a direct descendant.

"Okay, take it easy."

Hao Cheng understands that people who focus on technology tend to lose their minds in certain situations.

Let Lin Wen digest it himself, Hao Cheng then named the next one: "Instant Image, Yan Shi. Your competitor, Adobe Complete, kill it!"

"Me?" Yan Shi met with Hao Cheng yesterday and discussed her ideas and thoughts, but she did not join Baiju Technology.

"Why do you all have such expressions?" Hao Cheng said:
“Since you are all gathered here, your tasks are all the same. It’s not that Lin Wen is given special treatment just because he joined Baiju Technology.

"What I just said to Lin Wen applies equally to every company here."

“Does it also include AI’s ability to customize training and provide it?”

Yan Shi's expression seemed very incredible. If Jike Technology was also merged into Baiju Technology, she could still understand this approach. But now, what was Hao Cheng trying to do?
"What do I want?" Although Yan Shi did not say it out loud, Hao Cheng understood what these people were thinking and said, "If I really wanted something, the development direction of Baiju Technology would definitely not be what it is now.

“For example, if I don’t provide Xiaosha’s professional capabilities in software development to others, but develop an IDE myself and provide it to large companies at a high price, and then replace all the low- and middle-level programmers, and then replace 80% of the senior programmers, what will be the result?
“It’s a win-win situation for me and the big factory. The big factory saves labor costs, and I get a part of it.

"So, what do I want? To make this society better and closer to what I like, that's all."

This was the first time that Hao Cheng expressed his ideas in front of outsiders. It was very sci-fi and these people believed him.

It's not just because of the software development of Xiaosha mentioned by Hao Cheng, everything Baiju Technology does is actually moving in this direction.

"Besides, isn't this good?" Hao Cheng finally tried to make amends: "I make a lot of money, too!"

"Haha!" The atmosphere has become somewhat cheerful. Of course, they know that Baiju Technology has a lot of revenue, but it could have earned more.

Hao Cheng didn't want to talk about goals or dreams, let alone how much money he had - what difference would it make if he had more money?
Can you live forever or be immune to all diseases? Neither!
However, there is such an opportunity by leading everyone to advance technology together.

This is also one of the core reasons why Hao Cheng did not stick to Xiaosha's limitations and always wanted to figure out how micro-consciousness AI is trained. Once he figured it out, micro-consciousness AI can be used in chip design and manufacturing, medical equipment, and even bioengineering and genetic engineering.

By that time, although we cannot guarantee immortality, there is still great hope for immunity to all diseases.

And this is unlikely to be achieved even if you become the richest man in the world. It can only be achieved by climbing the technological ladder.

"Therefore, the customized capability can be provided to all participants," Hao Cheng said.
“Of course, this provision is not open to the public and is subject to strict usage restrictions. You will also need to pay for it. We will not discuss the specific fees today. The business department will negotiate with you later, but you know me, it will not be very expensive.

“So, go down and re-plan and sort out your project requirements. List any bold features or features that are more user-friendly, whether they can be solved or not. For those that cannot be solved, I will train Xiaosha to provide you with professional capabilities.

"But, as I said before, Xiaosha is not everything. You must do something based on Xiaosha that Xiaosha cannot do."

Everyone present here is familiar with this requirement. There is such a direction in AI light entrepreneurship - to extend Xiaosha's capabilities.

However, there are not many people doing this in the field of AI light entrepreneurship. Most of them use and split Xiaosha's capabilities to provide various detailed and segmented services.

But, this time is different.

"Different from AI light entrepreneurship, I call what we are doing now AI co-creation," Hao Cheng perfected the relevant theory:
"Light entrepreneurship provides more jobs and possibilities for all kinds of people, and what co-creation bodies need to do is to continuously innovate and move forward based on AI.

“AI can do a lot of things, especially AI with capabilities like Xiaosha, which have already surpassed many people’s imagination. But if what we do is limited by AI’s capabilities and can never surpass AI, it means that human technology will stagnate. Just think about how terrible this is.
“Therefore, there must be a group of people who use AI, step on AI, and then surpass AI, so that we can continue to progress and develop.”

This is what Hao Cheng said, and he has always thought so in his heart. The competition between software and systems is just a beginning and an attempt. In the future, the role that AI can play in various scientific research is his ultimate goal.

However, it is indeed too early to say this now. The first problem to be solved is to completely control Xiaosha.

The complete control that Hao Cheng wanted meant mastering Xiaosha's training methods and the training methods of all micro-consciousness bodies, and then he could apply them in all walks of life without any restrictions.

A long way to go.

After listening to Hao Cheng's words, the group of people even felt a long-lost surge of emotion in their hearts.

Who didn’t have dreams when they were children? Some dreams were as big as becoming a scientist, building airplanes, or flying into the sky, while others were as small as going to Tsinghua University or Peking University.

Like Lin Wen, when he graduated, he even made a grand ambition: "I want to create our own operating system and beat Microsoft!"

But later on, I started to work on pirated operating systems and Linux distributions, and slowly my edges were worn away and I gradually forgot my oath.

But today, they seemed to be back to the night of their college graduation dinner: "Wait for me for ten years, I must achieve something great!"

Now, Lin Wen has picked up his ideal again. At this moment, Lin Wen's face has turned red, as if he is drunk: "Give me six months to kill Microsoft!"

Like Lin Shi: "Instant image, instantly depict the most beautiful picture!"

……

Looking at the people who were sitting upright and looked like successful people just now, they suddenly changed their appearance at this moment, just like when they were in college, running to a small restaurant outside the school during breaks, feeling like the Pili Gang holding beer bottles.

Hao Cheng smiled with satisfaction, and then named: "Simuwu Data, from your name, you are going for Oracle, right? However, data is very important, and most companies will not easily change it.

"So, your goal is: in six months, add a new market and dominate it. In three years, make all Internet companies migrate to your database even if it is very troublesome, and eliminate Oracle!"

When Oracle is translated into oracle, Hao Chengdu feels very unhappy. Is that your thing? You just try to cling to it. No doubt, get rid of it.

The name of this company is also very interesting. It comes from the Simuwu Large Square Ding, which was later interpreted as Houmuwu, which sounds diametrically opposed to the oracle bone script.

……

Hao Cheng kept mentioning the names of companies. Not many people in China have heard of these companies, let alone in the world. But if you listen to their competitors, they are either Microsoft, Oracle, Google or Adobe. They have matched all the top ten software companies in America one by one, without missing a single one.

In this way, the top ten software companies in America, with a total market value of more than 6 trillion US dollars and 40 trillion RMB, were divided up by Hao Cheng.

This group of people went from being surprised at first to being passionate now, and they even felt it was natural: I can kill it!
"Okay, next, I'll give you ten minutes to discuss freely."

Hao Cheng said: "Among you, there are operating systems, system software, application software, development tools, etc. From today on, you are the best partners and comrades-in-arms. Exchange information with each other and see if there are any problems later."

A "10-minute free discussion" made everyone feel as if they were back in junior high and high school, and Hao Cheng was the teacher who said, "You are the worst class of students I have ever taught." At this time, they felt even worse than then.

They are different now after working in the business world than they were in school.

The business world is like a battlefield. Running to the other company and secretly pouring boiling water on it to burn the money tree is child's play. In order to compete, some people will do anything, even poisoning the other company's CEO.

But at this moment, in the conference room of Baiju Technology, the atmosphere created by Hao Cheng is that a group of people are partners with each other, complementing each other, promoting and helping each other.

They knew that from today on, the people in the room would be their closest partners in the future.

"I suggest that we form an alliance."

There was nothing to discuss. The business had already made it clear when Hao Cheng named them. Yan Shi was the first to suggest it: "Let's call it the China Software and Systems Industry Alliance. What do you think?"

"Isn't this name a bit too big?" Lin Wen said, looking outside, meaning: We are just small shrimps, but the real top ten domestic companies are all in the conference room over at the Riverside Hotel.

"What do you mean by small shrimp? We are matching an industry worth 40 trillion dollars in America one by one. In half a year, this 40 trillion dollars will be ours!"

Yan Shi said disapprovingly: "Why do you care about those companies? If you don't enter this room today, it will be unlikely that you will have such a good opportunity in the future."
