Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Someone in later generations made statistics for Linus. If he insists on charging for LINUX, then this industry chain will be worth at least 50 billion US dollars. What Linus gets in his hands will definitely be no less than 10 billion. He has become the leader of the younger generation in the United States.  Being rich is simply a piece of cake.

    It¡¯s a pity that even in 2013, he only relied on his own efforts to live on the salary of a mid-level programmer with an annual salary of one million, and never thought about how to earn more money.

    ???????????? Xiao Qi had thought of many ways before coming here, but now that he was actually there, Xiao Qi still felt that he was not very sure.

    In the past, Xiao Qi thought that "doing everything to satisfy Tianming's destiny" was a very stupid way to deal with things. But now that it was his turn, he discovered that many things really only require hard work. As for the results, even he, a reborn person,  It's impossible to predict.

    After a night of tossing and turning, the boy got up the next morning and took a hot bath. Then he went downstairs to have a hearty breakfast, and walked out of the hotel in high spirits.

    No matter how the negotiation goes, he must be in the best condition to discuss with Linus. It would be rude to go and find someone in a depressed manner.

    The campus environment in the United States has always been talkative.

    Whether it is primary schools, junior high schools, high schools or universities, no expense is spared on hardware and software facilities. Any member of the parliament who dares to say that schools should save land and save costs will be criticized by parents and human rights organizations when they go out.

    So later on, everyone tried their best to build beautiful and good schools, so they also pleased many parent voters and became members of the parliament.

    Next to Linus' apartment is a very ordinary university. It is neither an Ivy League nor a national university, but a very ordinary university that cultivates business talents, but it is also full of flowers everywhere.  and green trees, walking on the green avenue of the campus, you can see students lying on the grass reading books everywhere, and you can see students singing and laughing with guitars

    Xiao Qi is very familiar with this kind of university, because he spent a quarter of his previous life in such an environment.

    Today, walking on an American university campus again, Xiao Qi felt an extraordinarily familiar feeling, as if he was seeing the old man and his classmates again.

    But after all, he was already a strong-minded person, so he returned to normal and began to look for people who would appear here in the information.

    The result was a disappointment to Xiao Qi. He went to several places where Linus was said to frequent, but he couldn't find anyone there. His idea of ??discussing business in a relaxed atmosphere outside came to nothing.

    With no other choice, Xiao Qi could only follow the address in the intelligence and knocked on the door of Linus' apartment.

    When the door opened, a tall and slightly fat white man in his thirties looked at Xiao Qi curiously, "You are"

    "Hello, Mr. Torvalds." Looking at the same person as in the photo, Xiao Qi stretched out his hand, shook hands with him and said, "My name is Xiao Qi, and I came here specifically to see you from China."

    "Oh, China?"

    Linus was surprised. He was born in Finland and his father was a member of the Communist Party. He was very fond of China, which is also a socialist country. He was not as ignorant as people from ordinary Western countries, and he was very fond of it.  Some admire him. If it weren't for the fact that he likes to stay at home quietly, Linus would have traveled to China to experience it.

    Seeing a Chinese boy come specifically to see him, Linus felt a little baffled, but he still warmly welcomed Xiao Qi into the room, and then made Xiao Qi a cup of black tea in front of his father.

    His third daughter was just born, and the cradle was placed in the living room. Linus sat on a chair and had to slowly rock the cradle to coax his daughter to play.

    After taking a sip of black tea, Xiao Qi said to him seriously: "That's it, Mr. Torvalds, I want to buy your LINUX system kernel and make an operating system myself."

    "Buy?" Linus laughed dumbly, "Aren't you Chinese accustomed to using pirated software? Oh, I'm sorry, I spoke too bluntly."

    Xiao Qi knew Linus's favorable impression of China, but such a person knew very well about China's piracy, which shows that China, which does not pay attention to the protection of intellectual property rights over the years, is really not well known by everyone.  See you soon.

    Even though Linus's LINUX is open source, he still doesn't like those who steal the fruits of other people's labor.

    Seeing what Linus said casually, Xiao Qi couldn't help but frown.

    In fact, after 2010, the genuine environment in China has developed rapidly, and the country has strictly enforced all kinds of piracy.The crackdown on intellectual property rights is getting stronger and stronger. Even Bill, a classmate who used to hate China's pirated WINDOWS system, also praised the behavior of the Chinese government, claiming that if this continues, at most ten years, the Chinese government will  You can completely correct your previous mistakes and get back on the right track.

    But it¡¯s not possible now. The genuine software environment in China is still half-red but not white. It will have to wait until the RMB appreciates and people¡¯s living income has greatly improved, then there will be a good opportunity to gradually improve.

    Nowadays, if people have any complaints or dissatisfaction, there is nothing they can do about it.

    "Ordinary people in China cannot universally use genuine products until their quality and income reach a certain standard." Xiao Qi smiled, "Isn't it the same for Americans? Although many people use it  ITUNES allows you to pay to download genuine music, but many people also choose to download free singles on the Internet, right?¡±

    "Xiao Qi didn't lie. There are many people in the United States who are greedy for cheap, and not all of them are of high quality.

    Why spend money on something if you don¡¯t use it for free?

    There are more than two or three people who have such thoughts.

    Later, the record companies jointly put pressure, and finally the CIA, FBI, etc. had to use network surveillance to arrest those who downloaded free software and songs on the Internet-and they used their efforts to arrest terrorists, directly  Breaking into the house is really an exaggeration.

    Linus was slightly stunned. He didn't expect this young man's words to be so sharp, but Xiao Qi's counterattack was also true, leaving him unable to defend himself.

    "Yeah, but I hope everyone will cultivate the use of genuine software. Although I am opposed to charging for software, how to use the fruits of one's own labor is other people's business. I can only represent myself." Linus smiled.  He stood up and said, "As for my LINUX, since you know it, don't you know that I let everyone use it freely without charging any fees? There is no need for you to ask me for instructions. Go ahead and improve and innovate boldly."  !¡±

    "I know nothing about the operating system myself and cannot improve or innovate." Xiao Qi shook his head and said in astonishment: "In addition, what I hope to get is a closed system, so it must be authorized by you.  "(To be continued.
