"It's the Linux operating system, a free and open source operating system. Have you never heard of it?" Xia Tian immediately explained to Wang Xianzong when he saw that he didn't know about it.

"How could there be such an operating system?" Wang Xianzong was surprised after hearing this, "The current operating system is very expensive, and it is the commercial secret of each software company. How can it be free and more impossible to open source? A Tian, ​​have you remembered it wrong? Or is someone trying to lie to you?"

"Is there really no such operating system? Then which system do our computers and servers use?" Xia Tian couldn't help but feel a little vague when he saw Wang Xianzong say this.

In fact, he only remembers that there are three mainstream computer operating systems in the world, but he really can't remember when Linux was launched.

"Our personal computer is used with the indos386 system launched by Microsoft, and our server uses the unix operating system." Wang Xianzong explained.

"Unix?!" Xia Tian was shocked when he heard this name.

He remembered reading an article before that the reason why the Linux operating system was born was because a great man wanted to port the Unix operating system to his personal computer, so he spent a summer vacation to compile a Unix-like operating system, named it Linux, and made it public for free.

Once this free and open source operating system was released, it immediately attracted the attention of programmers around the world. They participated in it, added new features to it, and gradually expanded it into a fairly mature operating system.

Because of its free and open source feature, it is also popular among software manufacturers, and has applied it to computers, servers, routers, supercomputers, embedded systems and other fields, which has gradually become popular and its influence is increasing.

However, judging from Wang Xianzong's reaction, it seems that this great god has not yet "activated", and this famous operating system in his previous life has not been born yet.

"Well, maybe I remember it wrong, it should be unix." Xia Tian smiled and said, "In this way, we invite a group of programmers to design a new operating system based on the unix operating system, and then open it for free. What do you think?"

"Then aren't we going to suffer a loss?" Wang Xianzong was puzzled when he heard this, "A Tian, ​​the operating system is more expensive than hardware. The authorization of a set of unix operating system costs tens of thousands of dollars. We are free to open source, so wouldn't it be a waste of money to give it to others."

"We are only responsible for sending people to design the kernel, which should not cost much money. Then we share it with open source. Let programmers all over the world participate in designing it, modifying it, and developing application software for it. In this way, we can have a free operating system without having to pay those software vendors any more. Do you understand what I mean?" Xia Tian smiled slightly.

As far as he knows, the great man who invented Linux designed the kernel of Linux in just one summer vacation. Even if he is a genius, it is hard for ordinary people to match it. But as the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. If you ask a large group of genius programmers to work together and brainstorm, Xia Tian would not be able to write a Linux if you don’t believe it.

You should know that the great man wrote Linux under the inspiration of Unix, which was not completely original. Moreover, the reason why Linux was later popularized was mainly because it was free and open source. This allowed a large number of programmers to participate in the design and development of Linux, which gradually improved and grew into the most widely used operating system in the world. If it was a paid closed source operating system like Unix, it would be difficult to compete with the simple and easy-to-use indos.

After hearing Xia Tian's words, Wang Xianzong couldn't help but admire his intelligence. This brain is so smart. No wonder he earned hundreds of billions in just a few years.

"Well, I understand, then I'll make arrangements right away." He said immediately.

Xia Tian nodded, "This matter must be done as soon as possible. Otherwise, when other operating systems become popular, no one will use our operating system."

But how terrifying the indos operating system is, in his past life, whether it is civilian, military, server, industrial control software, medical equipment, or even bank ATMs, they used the indos system.

If it is popularized and compete with it, it will be able to overthrow the huge ecosystem established by Indos. But that is equivalent to overthrowing the entire modern industrial system, military system... no one has such great ability.

Therefore, we can only take advantage of the fact that indos has not been fully popular, especially in the fields of military use, servers, industrial control software, etc., and we have not yet reached the dominant position.

"I understand, I will make arrangements immediately." Wang Xianzong nodded and said.

...

"Mr. Xia, when will you meet my classmate?" Li Huatong asked carefully after Xia Tian's meeting.

"Oh, afternoon. After work in the afternoon, you can bring him to see me." Xia Tian looked at it and said, "If he is really a talent, then I will definitely use him."

Li Huatong nodded, "Yes, thank you Mr. Xia."

"No need to thank me, he should thank you." Xia Tian smiled.

When Li Huatong heard this, her face turned red.

...

After work in the afternoon, Li Huatong walked in with a gentle and handsome young man.

The young man has a well-known facial features, wearing glasses, a separate hair, and dresses neatly, giving people a very good first impression.

To be honest, if it weren't for the rival of love, Xia Tian would definitely like this person.

"Mr. Xia, he is here~" Li Huatong introduced.

"Hello, Mr. Xia." The young man said respectfully to Xia Tian.

"You are Jin Siwen, well, okay, it's true that you are a good person." Xia Tian looked him up and down a few times, and said with a smile, "Come on, please sit down, don't be restrained."

"Yes, thank you Mr. Xia." Jin Siwen sat down.

"Carmen, help us make two cups of tea." Xia Tian ordered and sent Li Huatong out, "I heard from Carmen, Awen, are you a top student who graduated from the Urban Institute of Technology?"

"I do graduate from Urban Polytechnic Institute, but I dare not call myself a talented person." Jin Siwen waved his hand with a smile.

"Well, young people are very modest." Xia Tian smiled, "What major did you graduate from?"

"I graduated from the Accounting Department of Business School." Jin Siwen hurriedly said.

"Wow, that's really good. How did you learn? Do you have a transcript?" Xia Tian asked with a smile again.

"Yes, Mr. Xia, please check it out." Jin Siwen quickly took out his transcript and handed it to Xia Tian.

Xia Tian took it and saw it, it was really good. Except for a few of them, it was all A, and it seemed that they were indeed talents.

"Well, very good." He nodded, "Awen, you can see from the transcript that you are indeed a talent, and our company is in need of talent, so I decided to reuse you!"

"Really?! Thank you Mr. Xia!" Jin Siwen smiled happily when he heard this.

"Don't thank you first, I want to ask you, are you interested in going to the mainland's finance department?" Xia Tian asked.
