Sun Microsystems Co., Ltd. was originally a start-up company of Stanford University. Its main profit points are workstations, servers and Unix operating systems, but their most famous product is indeed java.Of course, mysql and solaris are also very famous works.But in the Internet age, the most valuable product of Sun Microsystems is java.Because most of the desktop software and mobile software in the Internet era are basically developed based on jee (java platform enterprise version) and jme (java platform mobile version), especially the general programming platform of the android system is jme.Although java is famous, the income it brings to Sun Microsystems is very low.Nothing else, because the java platform is completely free to authorize, so you do not need to pay any copyright fees to Sun Microsystems for the software developed through the java platform.

The reason why Liu Miao advocated Titan Group's acquisition of Sun Microsystems at that time was that he was worried that if the java platform was changed to a commercial platform one day, then he would suffer too much loss.It is also for this reason that Liu Miao found someone to redevelop the commercial version of linux instead of using android directly, because there are too many uncertain factors.

A legally effective notice issued by Liu Miao to the global media is actually very simple, that is, from the date of publication of the notice, the Java platform has officially changed from a free platform to a commercial platform, and all software developed based on the Java platform must apply for authorization from the Titan Group Otherwise, Titan will set off a patent lawsuit around the world.This move really chilled the hearts of Internet practitioners around the world, because this is indeed where everyone's door lies.

But Liu Miao also knows that this is a self-destructive move against the enemy. First of all, those technical masters who are concentrated in the java community will leave one after another, because after all, java was free back then, so they are willing to help; secondly, this accident It will also suddenly increase the number of enemies in the future of java. No one is willing to accept a time bomb that loses and explodes at home.However, in order to eliminate the biggest impact, Titan Group’s announcement also stated that as long as it is open source software and free software projects, they can continue to use the Java platform for free without applying; only commercial software under the Android system must pay patent fees.

The first one naturally made some people breathe a sigh of relief, while the second one made people see different content.It turns out that this is Liu Miao's revenge against Google. You know, since the day android was born, android and java have been a bunch of good friends.Now that the world's best free cp is going to be publicly touted, Google's stock plummeted suddenly.

"Reconcile, you must reconcile with them!"

Although Palin and other founders are Google's shareholders and chairman, other shareholders will naturally not sit back and watch Google's stock fall so sharply.Because Google has received subpoenas from the U.S. Federal Department of Commerce and the U.S. Federal Court, requiring them to remove the infringing content as soon as possible, otherwise the U.S. Federation will ban the sale of infringing products and provide additional compensation.This stick is completely knocked on Google's head. With the degree of intimacy between Android and Java, Google can almost announce that the Android system is closed.

Knowing this is of course not only Google, but also Google's allies and other analysts. The three major news networks cnn, msnbc and ws have set up special programs to analyze this "Google Titan patent lawsuit". Patent lawyers believe that Google's lawsuit against Titan is actually judicial blackmail. As long as the Titan Group does not let go, the final loser must be Google; as for the Titan v. Google infringement case, it is basically a matter of certainty. Even if Google has the patience to keep appealing, it will end up with nothing but money and talent.

As the most professional television financial channels in the United States, cnbc and Bloomberg TV are even more exaggerated, directly analyzing the situation after Google lost the lawsuit.The financial experts of the two TV stations believe that if Google loses this lawsuit, then Google has no choice but to go bankrupt.And most importantly, those Android alliances that got on Google's big ship must also pay high compensation for this time.Financial experts have happily named which companies will go bankrupt due to compensation.

Affected by these bad news, related stocks on Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange plummeted all the way, and Google was naturally the one leading the plunge.The plunge in Google's stock price not only aroused dissatisfaction among shareholders, but also caused instability within Google.At this time, Titan began to look for headhunters to attack Google.Taking advantage of your illness and killing you, there is still a consensus within the Titan Group.

Just when Google was in turmoil, the vice president of Google finally appeared in front of the office building of Titan North America.His appearance aroused the excitement of the reporters who had been squatting around for a while, and the flashing lights kept flashing, which made him a little dumbfounded.It's a pity that he hit a wall at the front desk. Since the Titan Group is holding a global strategy conference, there are not enough qualified people in Titan North America to approach the vice president.So the vice president had no choice but to leave in despair, and this scene was broadcast all over the world through live TV.And when Liu Miao saw this scene in front of the TV, he felt extremely comfortable in his heart.

"Enough is enough for you, don't look at your java has caught their life, but why are you digging your own grave?" When Liu Miao was so happy that he couldn't do it, Liu Yan suddenly wondered.Liu Yan looked at the screen of his laptop and said, "The activity of the java community has dropped by half, and several open source organizations are disgusted with your indiscretion and abandonment, and have issued public statements. You can force Google to Bankruptcy, but do you think you really want to get involved in a java community?"

"Actually, I don't want to either. Who makes them always feel like they have the chance to win?" Liu Miao looked away from the TV, and suddenly saw her brother writing code there with only his pants on. "Tsk tsk, if I take a picture of you and throw it on the Internet, I don't know if other computer geeks who write codes will be jealous. I find that you hardly have time to exercise, how do you keep in shape? You know the code farmer Either fat beyond imagination, or skinny like a refugee."

"Really? Do you think I'm in good shape?" Liu Yan raised his head and deliberately bulged his biceps, "I also feel quite satisfied." Then he shook his pectoralis major, "It's you, I heard that you are a nutrient supplement and a professional training equipment, and as a result, the flesh on your body loosened a lot." Liu Yan squeezed Liu Miao's arms and chest, "Tsk tsk, it's all loose. What has become! Miaomiao, you are only in your early 20s, and your muscles are as loose as a 40-year-old man. Tell me, did you mess around outside? And your ass, it’s all broken What has become? You are the most beautiful man in our family, you can't do this!"

"I have brought shame on myself!" Liu Miao angrily left her seat and went back to her room.In fact, Liu Miao also felt that this trick of hers was almost done. If it really ruined the java community, it would not be possible for one or two Google companies to compensate.Back in her room, Liu Miao sent an email to the head of the North American company, so that they could get in touch with Google personnel appropriately, and then restart negotiations with Google at an appropriate time.

But Liu Miao's settlement condition is that Google must admit that Titan Group has never infringed any of Google's patent rights; at the same time, Google has published notices in major newspapers and television stations across the United States, apologizing to Titan Group for this blackmail lawsuit; Titan Group paid 1.6 million US dollars in compensation, which can be in cash or Google's assets, securities, etc.The $1.6 million seems like a lot, but it’s really nothing to companies like Titan and Google.It is important to know that companies such as Google and Apple have nearly [-] billion cash reserves all year round, and that Titan’s products were prevented from being distributed in the United States in a timely manner by Google. The decline in market share is also due to Google’s compensation.

Just after Liu Miao finished sending the email, he found that Liu Yan had also come to his room.Liu Yan was still a little depressed and said: "Hey, you are not so stingy, are you? Just said that you are out of shape and then ran back to your room to lose your temper? Why do you look like you when you were a child?"

"Where am I angry?" Liu Miao was also a little dumbfounded, "I am in contact with the North American branch and plan to settle with Google. After the settlement agreement with Google is reached, I will naturally find a way to restore the popularity of the java community. .In fact, I also think it's a pity. After all, Java's one plan was still very good, and I won't destroy their hard work."

"That's good!" Liu Yan nodded, "The development of artificial intelligence on my side has also reached a bottleneck. Although the recent versions can pass the Turing test, they still lack one of the most important characteristics of artificial intelligence-autonomy. Learning. Originally, I wanted to allow artificial intelligence to fully enjoy human intelligence by connecting to the Internet, but it actually burned its own hard drive. Alas, this is really a headache. ——By the way, you are staying in Yanjing How many days? Recently, you are either in the United States or in Dongfang City."

"I should stay for a while, after all, I still have to take the final exam of my junior year." Liu Miao suddenly remembered something, "Suddenly found that our college career is coming to an end? It’s not as fun as it is now. Thinking about my years in college, I didn’t even recognize all the classmates in my class, and I didn’t participate in any club activities.”

"Well, but your legend has been left here." Liu Yan teased, "Tsk tsk, you are the biggest rich man since the school was founded! If you haven't graduated yet, the principal would have called you in person, I hope You can contribute to the school."

After the Titan Group released some rumors, Google also took the opportunity to accept the news.Google quickly withdrew the lawsuit from the court, and at the same time signed a "disclaimer agreement" with the Titan Group on patent rights issues; and in terms of compensation and apology, Google also proceeded very smoothly.Although in this way, Google actually paid more than 2 million US dollars in cash, but compared to the potential losses, Google still made a lot of money.

After Google and Titan Group reached an agreement, Liu Miao suddenly announced that Titan Group decided to transfer the patent rights of the java language to the java community, while Sun Microsystems only retained the authorship of the language and the right to supervise the java community.As soon as this news was announced, the Nasdaq, which was originally in a terrible red (the U.S. stock market was red, fell and green rose), suddenly glowed with the light of spring, and major Internet and computer-related stocks collectively turned green.

Although the International Open Source Project Organization criticized Liu Miao a few days ago, this time they still spared no space in praising Titan Group for its contribution to program open source.After receiving the free promise with legal endorsement, the originally deserted java community became lively again.

Our story seems to end here...
