Age of Dreams

Later, someone gave Linus a statistics. If he insists on NUX charging, then this industry chain is worth at least 50 billion U.S. dollars, and Linus's hands are definitely not less than 10 billion. He will become the younger generation of the United States. Regal, it is a breeze.

It's a pity that even in 2013, he just relied on his own efforts to live with the salary of a mid-level programmer with a million annual salary, and never thought about how to make more money.

Before Rao came, Xiao Qi thought about a lot of ways, but now that he is really there, Xiao Qi still feels that he is not very sure.

In the past, Xiao Qi thought that "doing everything in peace" was a very stupid way of doing things, but now that it was his turn, he realized that many things really had to be done with hard work. As for the result, even this person who was born again, Can't predict it.

After tossing and turning all night, when he got up the next morning, the boy took a hot bath, then went downstairs to eat a hearty breakfast, and walked out of the hotel vigorously.

No matter what the negotiation will be, he will negotiate with Linus in the best possible state. If he finds someone in the past, it is rude.

The American campus environment has always been something people talk about.

Whether it’s elementary school, middle school, high school or university, hardware and software facilities are not hesitating. Any congressman who dares to say that if you want the school to save land and save costs, you will have to be sprayed to death by parents and human rights organizations when you go out.

So in the end, everyone changed their way to build a beautiful and good school, so they also pleased a lot of parents and voters, and ascended to the throne of parliamentarians.

Next to Linus's apartment is a very ordinary university, neither of which is from the Ivy League. It is not a national state university, but a very ordinary university that trains business talents, but the same is full of flowers and green trees. Walking on the green avenues of the campus, you can see students lying on the grass reading books everywhere. I can see the students holding guitars singing and laughing...

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

Today, Xiao Qi is very familiar with walking on the American university campus again. As if seeing the old man and his classmates again.

But after all, he is already a man of determination. Instead, he returned to normal and began to look for people who would appear here in the information.

As a result, Xiao Qi was disappointed. He went to several places that Linnas was said to frequent, but he could not find anyone. The idea of ​​negotiating business in a relaxed atmosphere outside fell through.

In no way, Xiao Qi could only knock on Linus's apartment door according to the address on the intelligence.

The door opened and a tall, slightly fat white man in his thirties looked at Xiao Qi curiously. "you are……"

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

"Oh, Hua Guo?"

Linus was amazed. He was born in Finland and his father was a member of the Communist Party. He liked China, which is also a socialist country, very much. It's not as ignorant as people in ordinary Western countries, but also a little admiring, if not because he likes to stay at home quietly. Linus has already travelled to China for a long time.

Seeing a Chinese teenager came specifically to find himself, Linus felt a little inexplicable, but he enthusiastically greeted Xiao Qi into the house, and then made Xiao Qi a cup of black tea in front of his grandmother.

His third daughter, who had just been born now, had the cradle in the living room and made Linus sit in a chair. I have to slowly shake the cradle to coax my daughter to play.

After taking a sip of black tea, Xiao Qi said to him sternly: "That's it, Mr. Torvalds, I want to buy your NUX system kernel and make my own operating system."

"Buy?" Linus laughed blankly. "Aren't you Chinese people who are used to using pirated software? Oh, I'm sorry, I'm too blunt."

Xiao Qi knows Linus’s goodwill towards China, but such a person knows very well about China’s piracy, which shows that over the years, China, which does not pay attention to protecting intellectual property rights, is really not for everyone. See you soon.

Even if Linus's NUX is open source, he also has no good feelings for those who occupy the fruits of their labor by stealing.

Seeing Linus's casual words, Xiao Qi couldn't help frowning.

In fact, after 2010, the legal environment in China has been developing rapidly. The country has severely cracked down on all kinds of piracy, and the protection of intellectual property rights has become stronger and stronger, even the previous pirated WS system in China. Classmate Bill, who hates it deeply, also praises the behavior of the Chinese government, claiming that if this continues, at most ten years, China will be able to completely correct its previous mistakes and return to the right track.

But it's not working right now. The genuine software environment in China is still half red and not white. Only after the appreciation of the renminbi and people's living income have greatly increased will there be a good opportunity for gradual improvement.

What people complain and dissatisfaction now is helpless.

"Ordinary people in China cannot use genuine copies universally 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 pays to download genuine music, but many people choose to download free singles on the Internet, right?"

Xiao Qi didn't lie. There are quite a few Americans who are greedy for cheap, and not all of them have high quality.

If you don’t need something for free, why should you pay for it?

There are more than two or three people ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ who have such ideas.

Later, the record companies put pressure on them. In the end, A, etc. had to use network monitoring to arrest those who downloaded free software and songs on the Internet-and they used the energy to catch terrorists and broke the door directly. And entering, it is too exaggerated.

Linus was taken aback for a moment. He couldn't think that the boy's words were so sharp, but Xiao Qi's counterattack was also true, and he couldn't explain it.

"Well, but I hope that everyone is better to cultivate the use of genuine software. Although I am opposed to software charging, how to use my own labor results is other people's own business. I can only represent myself." Linus laughed. Get up, "As for my NUX, since you know it, don’t you know, I let everyone use it freely, and don’t charge any fees? You don’t need to ask me for advice at all, and boldly improve and innovate. !"

"I don't know anything about operating systems, so I can't improve and innovate." Xiao Qi shook his head and said in astonishing words: "In addition, what I want is a closed system, so you must authorize it. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (m) to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
