Chapter 554: Chapter 554
Xu Hao continued, "My plan is this: there's no doubt about your capabilities in network security, and I believe you can excel in that area, but I want you to lead a team to research computer operating systems. How does that sound?"
Computer Operating Systems!
When Jing Yuanfan heard that Xu Hao harbored such grand ambitions, he was instantly blown away.
Computers are made up of hardware and software, and all software ultimately relies on the operating system.
Without a good operating system, even if the computer's hardware is highly advanced, it will still operate slowly and lag.
Therefore, the operating system is the most critical part of all computer software—without a doubt.
The currently dominant computer operating systems internationally are developed by America's Microhard Corporation, occupying the vast majority of the world's computer operating systems market, with others like DOS, UNIX, LINUX dividing the remaining market share.
All these operating systems, without exception, are American. Due to a late start, Huaya, aside from its user base, has virtually no advantage in the internet sector. This has led to Huaya's internet companies being restricted by American companies at every turn, yet they are unable to voice any objection.
How could they have any say when they are using someone else's operating system? This сhаptеr wаs mаdе pоssiblе by thе соmmunity аt МV|LЕМ|РYR.
But what he never imagined was that Xu Hao would aim to develop a new operating system right off the bat!
Such a task is extremely difficult!
He quickly said, "Young Master Xu, it's not that it's impossible to develop an operating system. Huaya companies have tried and even succeeded before, but their systems hold no advantages over Microhard's and are actually somewhat inferior. Besides, since the market has largely settled, even if a new operating system has some benefits, it will be very difficult to capture market share—that's the biggest challenge."
Xu Hao nodded, "I am, of course, aware of that, but none of that is an issue, because I will solve it. You just need to do a good job, lead the team to develop a better operating system, and we will surely take over the market. We'll make those American companies crumble in the operating systems arena!
But that alone is not enough. Those companies are the leading enterprises on the internet with profound foundations. Therefore, once successful, we will start developing chips, particularly mobile chips. This is also currently a vacancy for us in Huaya. We want to capture the vast majority of the chip market share and defeat those American companies in the field of chips. By then, we would have essentially completely defeated them."
Listening to Xu Hao's ambitious plans, Jing Yuanfan, despite finding them somewhat incredulous, felt deep admiration from the bottom of his heart.
It sounded like a fantasy, but what mattered more was that Xu Hao dared to dream!
The real fear was not even daring to dream—that would mean the end of any possibilities.
Jing Yuanfan immediately patted his chest and said, "Rest assured, Young Master Xu, I will definitely do as you envision. I, too, wish to make a name for myself in the field of computing and exact revenge for the past!"
Xu Hao nodded slightly and then had the person sent by Wang Zhong take Jing Yuanfan away.
In the southernmost part of Tiannan Province.
A place surrounded by mountains.
This is the location of the Xuanmen Sect.
Within the Sect, palaces and pavilions stand tall and magnificent.
Even deep in the mountains, they lack for nothing.
In a courtyard, a woman in a light blue robe was meditating with her legs crossed.
Around her, a faint mist hovered, a result of the unique Cultivation Technique she was practicing.
At that moment, another woman in a light blue robe entered, but her hem was adorned with just three red silk threads.
The woman glanced at the meditator, envy mixed with slight resentment flickering in her eyes, and whispered, "Sister Zhou, there's news from outside. That fellow named Xu Hao has actually advanced to the Grandmaster realm!"
Upon hearing these words, the woman named Zhou's body stiffened, and the mist around her became turbulent. Her breath began to fluctuate.
However, she quickly steadied the fluctuations in her breath and slowly opened her eyes to speak, "Is that really true?"
"It's true, Sister Zhou! The information was relayed by the same Outer Sect Disciple who used to pass on messages to us. She wouldn't have any reason to lie to us," the woman said hastily.
Zhou fell into silence. After a while, she finally spoke, "I never thought that after cultivating here for so long, reaching what I felt was the Middle Phase of mastery, and strengthening my power, the little Xu Hao would progress so rapidly as well! Grandmaster Level, Yu Jun, are there many in our Sect who have reached that level?"
Named Yuan Yujun, the woman hurriedly replied, "Speaking to Sister Zhou, our Xuanmen Sect is already extremely powerful, but I reckon that Grandmaster Level Experts wouldn't exceed the number we could count on one hand. Besides Sect Leader's direct disciple, Sister Su, the others are all relatively old."
When Yuan Yujun heard that Xu Hao had become a Grandmaster Level Expert, she was also shaken. Ever since Shuran arrived here, she had persuaded an Outer Sect Disciple to deliver information regarding Xu Hao specifically for Shuran.
Yuan Yujun, like Shuran, was a disciple of the Seventh Elder of the Xuanmen Sect.
