This article not only describes the situation after the release of HarmonyOS system, but also puts forward my ideas on how to break the situation of HarmonyOS system. If you are interested, you can read my article yesterday.
After the article was published, many netizens expressed their views. Some people think that Xiaomi cannot be kidnapped morally, while others think that Xiaomi should recognize the overall situation and support the HarmonyOS system. These views are normal, but what is abnormal is that some people think that Huawei donated the HarmonyOS system to the country, so the HarmonyOS system is no longer Huawei's. Is it true?/You don't say.
Obviously, the answer is no, netizens just confuse the concept!

HarmonyOS system or Huawei?
All the media reported that Huawei donated the code related to the core infrastructure of HarmonyOS system to the Open Atomic Open Source Foundation.
Because of this news, netizens mistakenly thought that Huawei had donated the HarmonyOS system as a whole. No, HarmonyOS system still belongs to Huawei.
There may be people who don't understand the relationship. Let me give you an example. I believe everyone will understand.
What is the most expensive thing for Coca-Cola? That's the legendary secret recipe. Huawei's news is equivalent to the Coca-Cola Company donating Coca-Cola's secret recipe to a non-profit organization. Everyone can use this secret recipe to produce homemade cola. But this does not mean that Coca-Cola donated the whole company.
Here we need to know a few names, they are Open Atomic Open Source Foundation, OpenHarmony and HarmonyOS System.
The Open Atomic Open Source Foundation (hereinafter referred to as the Foundation) was incorporated in June 2020 and is a non-profit independent legal entity approved by the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
At present, there are seven major donors to the Foundation, namely Ali, Tencent, Baidu, Huawei, Inspur, 360 and China Merchants Bank. The fields include: embedded operating system, orchestration engine, underlying blockchain technology, distributed operating system, etc.
The foundation accepts donations from individuals, companies and institutions. There are four levels of donors, namely platinum donors, gold donors, silver donors and ordinary donors.
OpenHarmony is just one of seven projects hatched by the foundation. It is jointly established by Huawei, JD.COM, He Run, Taibo, Yi Cartoon, Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences and ChinaSoft International.
According to the Foundation, as early as September 2020, Huawei donated the basic capability code of the intelligent terminal operating system of HarmonyOS System, which later became OpenHarmony.
HarmonyOS system is a serious Huawei HarmonyOS system, which definitely belongs to Huawei. In addition, HarmonyOS added many Huawei elements to OpenHarmony.
Generally speaking, OpenHarmony is like a rough house built by Huawei. If other manufacturers want to use it, just redecorate it. HarmonyOS system is a well-decorated house of Huawei, so you can take your bag to live in.

Why should Huawei donate for free?
Since the core code of HarmonyOS system is a product that Huawei has spent a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to develop, why should it open source for free? Isn't this a big loss?
There are two main reasons for Huawei to do this: the first reason is that this practice is a trend in the Internet field, and there are many such cases in the United States, among which Android is a representative; The second reason is that being free doesn't mean that you can't make money. On the contrary, you may have started a super printing machine.
What are the advantages of free open source system?
Huawei can quickly occupy the market at lightning speed. Imagine that if Huawei doesn't open source the system code, there will be various obstacles in forcibly pushing the HarmonyOS system to other partners. This is equivalent to a company selling the same hardcover room to different companies, which is very difficult, because some people like classical style, while others like European style.
Instead of this, Huawei might as well give you a "blank room" directly for free, and everyone can decorate it as they want. No matter how it is decorated, it can achieve rapid interoperability. After all, the basic framework is the same.
As long as enough people accept the "rough house" provided by Huawei, can Huawei also charge a reasonable fee when renting it to guests to make money after renovation? 10% rent is not too much, is it?
Do you feel that Huawei's operating ideas are very similar to Android?
Yes, Huawei's current business model is very similar to Android. At that time, when Jobs introduced the iOS system, other mobile phone manufacturers obviously felt at a loss, and they were no match for Apple's mobile phone at all.
Just as the whole world was crying, Google donated the core code of Android system, which can be used by any mobile phone manufacturer. As of today, the market share of Android system is 68.63%, and the market share of iOS system is 30.99%. It can be said that Android made a turnaround for free, and Google made a lot of money through the Google play app store.
Facts have proved that the free mode is effective in many cases!
Cover the whole network with media thinking, and let the product sales stop here!
In the future, all commercial competition will focus on media communication. If a company or a boss lacks media thinking, it will inevitably lose in advance.
Please remember: without communication, there is no awareness; Without awareness, there is no reputation; No fame, no popularity!
