Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 196 The shocking opening of the Wujiang Computer Conference (5.2k)

It is imperative to invest in the construction of the domestic Internet.

Zhao Ye made a lot of preparations for this.

However, these things have not attracted the attention of the public. Right now, the outside world is attracted by the Lujiazui renovation project.

With an investment of 250 billion U.S. dollars, so many high-rise buildings, and even the "world's tallest building", this is extremely shocking in this era.

Many people doubt whether China can build such tall skyscrapers.

In fact, the technical aspect is not a big problem.For example, the previous life of Shanghai Jinmao Tower was approved for construction on December 1992, 12.

吉隆坡石油双塔这个工程于1993年12月27日动工，1996年2月13日正式封顶，1998年正式完工。

It is now 1990, and major international architectural design firms are perfecting Zhao Ye’s design. They must ensure the specific implementability of their design plans, and they will make detailed considerations of load-bearing, wind force, earthquakes, etc. The computer simulates it!

The whole set of architectural design scheme involved many technical researches and discussions, which took a long time.

Zhao Ye drew the renderings of Lujiazui mainly for several purposes. One is to grab the attention of others and take away the appearance of buildings, such as the classic sailing hotel and the Twin Towers. The second is to hype Lujiazui, and if Lujiazui is developed, it will be able to collect rents and earn a lot of money in the future; the third is to cater to the mentality of the leaders and get better support; The "First Building" has a positive effect on the company's reputation. As long as people think of the world's first building, they will think of Wujiang Group. The subtle influence is extremely huge.A building represents the strength of a company. Although it is not absolute, at least many people think so.

The renovation plan of Lujiazui involves a lot, and the construction will not start until all the design schemes have been passed, which is expected to be in the second half of 1991.

It just left more than a year and a half for Wujiang Group to build a new factory in another place in Pudong.

……

……

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

April 1990, 4 came.

On this day, Wujiang Group held an extremely grand product launch event.

Wujiang Group even revealed in advance that this press conference will release the news of Wujiang Computer.

For a while, the world's major media were ecstatic and full of curiosity about the boundless computer.

The world's major computer manufacturers and related companies have also paid attention to this conference.

Ordinary consumers are also full of expectations for the computers developed by Wujiang Group.

Although IBM already knew that Wujiang Group was going to release a personal computer, it couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive when it really came.

Wujiang Group is no different than other companies. Over the years, it has conquered cities and territories in various fields, and almost all of them have achieved great success. It is a real giant enterprise!

Such a hegemony-level company entered the computer, even IBM was very flustered.

In the current global PC market, IBM-PC occupies the largest market share.

Once the Wujiang Group's computer is released, it is bound to grab the market share of IBM-PC, and IBM cannot help but ignore it.

At this time, Zhao Ye was wearing a black suit with a white shirt, elegant and calm, showing a gentleman's demeanor, and walked towards the center of the stage leisurely under the gaze of everyone.

Ka Ka Ka! ! !
All the cameras in the audience took pictures like crazy without money.

Young, rich, talented, and handsome, this is the prince charming in many people's minds. Since Zhao Ye doesn't like to be interviewed by reporters, there are very few photos leaked from the outside world.

If actors and singers are the stars of the entertainment circle, then Zhao Ye is the superstar of the business and technology circles!

In fact, hundreds of millions of people all over the world are fans of Zhao Ye.

His entrepreneurial growth history has inspired countless young people!

He is even more famous than Bill Gates in his previous life!
The major media are very clear that as long as there are photos and news of Zhao Ye, it is equivalent to mastering the traffic code.

"So handsome, it's a pity not to act..." Zou Huaiwen, the boss of Hong Kong Golden Harvest Film Company, sat down under the stage, shook his head and sighed slightly.He wanted to invite Zhao Ye to make a film, Zhao Ye's reputation was higher than Cheng Long's, and the gimmick of the world's richest man's filming was enough to attract many people to enter the cinema curiously.

Zou Huaiwen looked around. Many of the guests were executives from the world's top [-] companies. The conference was really big.

This time, he was invited to participate in the press conference of Wujiang Group, mainly because Wujiang Group reached a cooperation with Golden Harvest, allowing Golden Harvest's movies to be broadcast on the computers of Tenglong Internet Cafe.

On the Internet cafe's diskless network server, Wujiang Group has created a folder named "Tenglong Film and Television Center", which stores a large number of film and television dramas by category!
During leisure time, users can watch movies and TV shows on the computer in Internet cafes, especially for those players who stay all night. They are tired from playing but don’t want to sleep. After all, they need to earn back the night fee. Movies or something.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the product launch conference of Wujiang Group. I am Zhao Ye, the chairman of Wujiang Group!"

"Today, I will solemnly introduce to you the latest product of our company - China Computer!!!"

As soon as Zhao Ye finished speaking, there was a burst of intense music at the press conference. At the same time, a photo of China Computer appeared on the big screen behind Zhao Ye.

Due to the high cost of TFT-LCD thin film transistor liquid crystal display, when Wujiang Group launched the first personal desktop computer, it used a CRT display.If it is a notebook, then it must use a TFT display.However, Wujiang Group is not in a hurry to release a notebook computer for the time being. On the one hand, the wireless router has not been successfully developed;

Zhao Ye believes that after seeing a laptop, some people don't want to buy a desktop computer, but what Zhao Ye wants is that you buy a desktop computer first, and then I launch a notebook, and you are tempted and want to buy it again.

In Zhao Ye's impression, the most popular display in the 90s was actually a CRT display, so he did not choose the more expensive TFT-LCD.In the future, it will not be too late to replace the CRT display with a TFT display when the product is updated, so as to attract users again.

Therefore, the appearance of the Shenzhou computer is very similar to the current computer, a white mainframe placed horizontally, with a "big ass" CRT monitor placed on it.In front is the keyboard and mouse.

However, China Computer pays more attention to details, and the appearance looks more refined.

In addition, the main box of China Computer is different from the main box of other computers today.

In addition to the floppy drive, the Shenzhou computer has an extra CD-ROM drive and USB interface.

Actually, Zhao Ye didn't want to install a floppy drive. After all, he had a USB interface and an optical drive, so installing a floppy drive would be superfluous.However, many people in the market still use floppy disks. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of the public, the first generation of China computers also installed floppy drives.

When the second-generation China computer is launched, the floppy drive must be cut off no matter what.

"Please take a look, this is the China computer we developed. The CPU uses the 32-bit Kirin 3 processor, the GPU uses the Kunpeng chip, and the Wujiang motherboard..."

While talking, Zhao Ye began to introduce the specific data of the hardware, which basically surpassed IBM-PC and Apple Computer.

This is also the advantage of late strikers, who can use the most advanced technology.

However, these alone should not surprise everyone.

Zhao Ye continued: "There are a few differences between China Computer and other computers. First of all, China Computer is equipped with a CD-ROM drive, which can run the software on the CD. The capacity is as high as 600MB, and you can also watch VCD movies and TV dramas!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ye deliberately paused, there should be applause here, he looked down the stage.

Sure enough, everyone was very surprised when they heard that China Computer had an optical drive.

In the past, they only used floppy disks with a capacity of only 1.44MB, but after switching to CDs, the capacity is as high as 600MB, and they can also watch VCD movies, so they are not surprised.

It's not that Philips and Sony cannot develop CD-ROM drives, but their current products only have double-fold CD-ROM drives, and they are expensive, and they are not yet mature enough to be applied to PCs, let alone watching VCD TV series. Only China Computer can do it.

When everyone was discussing, Zhao Ye introduced: "Ahem, everyone, please be quiet for a while, what I want to say next will surprise you even more!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience immediately fell silent.

Zhao Ye nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "Those who have known about PCs should know that the best hard drive on the market has a capacity of no more than 1GB. Today, everyone will increase their knowledge. The SSD solid state drive independently developed by our Wujiang Group , its civilian-grade products have exceeded 1GB. According to the size of the hard disk capacity, China Computer is divided into high and low configurations, the low configuration is 1GB, and the high configuration is 2GB.”

In the audience, IBM's spies were stunned.

You know, IBM's hard drive is the strongest on the market, but at this moment, IBM's mechanical hard drive is defeated by Wujiang Group's SSD solid state drive.

It is not impossible to pile up mechanical hard disks with a higher capacity, but the consequence of doing so is that the hard disks are very large and costly, which is extremely uneconomical.

IBM's spies looked at the SSD on the big screen, which was about the size of an ordinary short wallet, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help twitching.

Can't compare, really can't compare, the gap is too big!
I just don't know the specific price of this SSD solid state drive. If it is cheap, then the technical advantages accumulated by IBM's mechanical hard drive will disappear.

Unfortunately, Zhao Ye did not introduce the price of SSD solid state drive to everyone at this time.

In fact, the reason why Zhao Ye did not introduce the price of solid-state drives here is because the target customer group of solid-state drives is not ordinary consumers, but PC manufacturers.

The specific price will be determined according to the purchase quantity of the other party.

If the SSD solid state drive just surprises them, then the USB interface and U disk are enough to surprise them!
"Attention everyone, I will show you something next!" Zhao Ye took out a silver USB flash drive from his pocket at this time, and the camera took a close-up in time so that everyone could clearly see the USB flash drive in Zhao Ye's hand. U disk.

"What is this? Small and exquisite, it is very convenient to carry!"

"I guess it has something to do with floppy disks?" someone speculated.

"Is this thing a storage product?"

Many people have already made bold guesses.

Since Wujiang Group can develop a 2GB SSD solid state drive, it may also be able to develop a storage product as large as a matchbox.

Zhao Ye didn't hold back at this time, and directly introduced to everyone: "This is a mobile USB flash drive. It is a miniature high-capacity mobile storage product that does not require a physical drive. It can be connected to a computer through a USB interface, enabling plug and play! As for The USB interface is a serial port protocol interface developed by Wujiang Group! Everyone, please look at the big screen, there is a short video on it, which will let everyone know how to use the USB flash drive product."

As soon as the words fell, the big screen behind Zhao Ye started playing a video, which was a comparison video using a floppy disk and a USB disk.

In the short video, in a messy office, an employee wants to copy a large file. First, he compresses the file, checks sub-volume compression, and selects the size as 1.38M, and then copies these dozens of compressed packages into dozens of inside a floppy disk.

Dozens of floppy disks are stacked, thicker than a dictionary.

As soon as the picture changed, in a bright office, there was a brand new China computer on the table. An employee of the company was also about to copy a large file. At this moment, he took out the USB flash drive and directly inserted it interface, and then a "U disk" icon is displayed on the computer interface.

The employee only used two steps at this time: copy and paste.

The file copy is complete.

Then I saw him coolly pulling out the USB flash drive, putting it in his pocket, and walking out of the office with a smile on his face.

As soon as the video ended, there was a burst of thunderous applause at the press conference.

Everyone understands that a USB flash drive is a mobile storage product, which has a larger capacity than a floppy disk and is easy to carry.

Such a product, who doesn't like it?
Everyone applauded one after another, expressing their recognition and praise for this product.

"Wujiang Group is really amazing. They even developed a product like a USB flash drive. There is no doubt that the USB flash drive is the most perfect mobile storage product right now!!!"

"Yes, I also agree. The USB flash drive is really convenient and has a large capacity. It was specially marked in the video just now, and the capacity is as high as 250MB, while the capacity of the 3.5-inch floppy disk is only 1.44MB. The gap is too big. In addition, A floppy disk is not easy to carry, but a USB flash drive is about the size of a matchbox and can be put directly in your pocket.”

"When I used floppy disks, I thought they were pretty good, but until I watched this video today and learned about the functions of USB disks, I immediately felt that floppy disks are too rubbish, and they will be eliminated sooner or later!"

"..."

After 2 minutes, the voice of the discussion decreased, Zhao Ye smiled slightly, and said: "The USB flash drive is a good product, but at present, only China Computer has a USB port, so if you want to use a USB flash drive, you must first buy a USB flash drive." Taiwan China Computer. However, we welcome major PC manufacturers to cooperate with us and develop USB interfaces together!"

“目前，我们公司的U盘分为三种规格：100MB、250MB、500MB三款产品，其零售价分别为100美元、250美元、500美元。价格不贵，欢迎大家购买！”

"Okay, then I will continue to introduce a product to you."

"This product is called a TF card, and its main purpose is to store photos from the camera. It can also be connected to a computer through a USB interface to store the photos in the camera to the computer! The capacity of the TF card is also very large, the lowest is 50MB, the highest Up to 200MB. The large-capacity TF card allows you to take whatever you want, and shoot what you want! And it’s not like a camera roll, it can’t be used repeatedly, you only need to delete the photos in the TF card to free up space!”

"The Pantaic camera that Zeiss will launch soon has a TF card interface. If you are interested, you can check it out at that time."

PENTACON is the most famous camera brand of East Zeiss, especially the PENTACON six Pantacon 6, which can be called the pinnacle masterpiece. It was once a candidate machine for landing on the moon. Unfortunately, the Soviet Union failed to land on the moon, otherwise it might become as famous as Hasselblad.

After Dong Zeiss was acquired by Wujiang Group, it did not stop the research on cameras, but invested a lot of research and development funds in CCD photosensitive chips and CMOS photosensitive chips with Godson Corporation, and devoted itself to the development of SLR digital cameras.

After a while, Zhao Ye saw that everyone's discussion became quieter, and continued: "Next, I will focus on introducing the operating system of China Computer—the Hongmeng operating system!"

"The Wujiang development team has worked hard for several years and finally developed an epoch-making operating system!!!"

People who understand Chinese mythology in the audience couldn't help being a little surprised when they heard that the operating system was called Hongmeng.

The first opening of Hongmeng, the beginning of heaven and earth!

The word "Hongmeng" comes from the myth of Pangu opening up the sky, which not only expresses the hardships of Wujiang Group in developing the Hongmeng operating system, but also makes it difficult to conceal the ambition of Wujiang Group!
When I just demonstrated the U disk, I used the Windows system, which means that the U disk can also be used on the Windows system.

The Hongmeng operating system still hasn't unveiled its mystery.

With everyone's anticipation, Zhao Ye asked the staff to play a demonstration video of the Hongmeng operating system.

Start up, the system is running, and after more than thirty seconds, it enters the system interface.

"Ah!!! The interface is so beautiful and clear!"

When the system interface appeared, exclamations erupted from the audience!

The use of Kunpeng GPU enables the computer to have a high display resolution, and the picture is high-definition and bright.

The desktop wallpaper is a photo of the mountains and rivers of the motherland.

Zhao Ye knew that the press conference of Wujiang Group had many overseas audiences, so he took the opportunity to promote the beauty of the motherland and attract foreigners to travel to China.

After a while, everyone's attention shifted from the desktop wallpaper to other places.

The demo video has been continuously introducing the functions of the Hongmeng system.

The design of Hongmeng system is simple and beautiful, and it has a very good user interface and interactive experience. It is easy to use and does not require additional learning costs.

With full-screen windowed mode, all applications can run in full-screen mode.This user interface will greatly simplify the use of computers and reduce the confusion caused by multiple windows.

Mission Control is added, the Dock and Control Panel are integrated, and applications can be viewed in windowed and full-screen modes.

Moreover, the Hongmeng system also supports a large number of high-quality application software, including many professional software, such as WPS office software, EDA, database, image processing, video editing, audio editing and so on.

In addition, the Hongmeng system has a very stable system architecture, which reduces the occurrence of crashes and black screens, and has a series of built-in security functions, including anti-virus, firewall, data encryption, etc. These functions protect user privacy and data security.

Compared with the current Windows 386 system, the Hongmeng system can beat the opponent with its beautiful interface design, reliability, security and other characteristics. Even Windows 5, which Microsoft will release in May this year, will also be hammered. .

Following the introduction of the demonstration video, everyone in the audience was completely stunned by the shock...
