Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 48 Developing the PC
In the next few days, U.S. Wujiang Company filed a lawsuit and expressed dissatisfaction with the trial. The cost of the Imagine typewriter was less than 3000 yuan, and the price in the United States was 2000 U.S. dollars. Dumping at low prices.In fact, with the addition of the national export subsidies, the profit was 1500 yuan.

If this is also low-price dumping, then those products whose profit is less than 50% are all dumping?
At present, Wujiang has also formed its own team of lawyers. Isn’t it just for litigation? After a few years, the typewriter market will be in a downturn, so it doesn’t matter if they lose the lawsuit in the end.

Typewriters in the Chinese market will also decline in the early 90s.

Therefore, Zhao Ye has decided to plan ahead.

Today, he summoned all the engineers in the company.

Before developing his own brand of computers, Zhao Ye decided to start with the development of motherboards. Computer motherboards are less difficult than chips and operating systems.

This can refer to ASUS.

At the beginning of its establishment, ASUS developed computer motherboards, and then developed ASUS computers.

Step by step, it will happen naturally.

In addition, it is more advantageous for Wujiang to develop the motherboard first, because Wujiang is the agent of IBM-PC and Hewlett-Packard. As long as the motherboard products developed by Wujiang are of high quality and low price, then IBM and The possibility of purchasing by HP is very high.

The IBM-PC has long been the industry standard in computing.

As long as IBM-PC purchases Wujiang motherboards, there is no doubt that other computer brands will also choose Wujiang motherboards.

In addition, Wujiang can independently design, develop and produce products with lower technical content such as mice, keyboards, and power supplies.

Display screens, chips, and operating systems are more difficult for Wujiang to overcome.

Fortunately, it is 1984. Although China is lagging behind in all aspects, the gap is not that big.

For example, the lithography machine for chip production. In the 60s, my country began to develop and develop lithography machines. At that time, ASML, the Dutch lithography machine production giant, had not yet been established. In 1965, the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed the Model 65 contact lithography machine. In the 1970s, the Chinese Academy of Sciences began to develop computer-aided photolithography mask technology. In 1972, Wuhan No. 1980 Radio Component Factory compiled the industry production guide "Manufacture of Photolithography Mask". In 3, Tsinghua University successfully developed the fourth-generation laser, with a lithography precision of 1981 microns, close to the international mainstream level. In 3, the JKG-40 lithography machine developed by Shanghai Optical Machinery Factory passed the appraisal and design finalization. The No.1985 Fifth Institute successfully developed the BG-101 stepper lithography machine in 4800, and passed the technical appraisal. The performance index is close to the level of the [-]DSW system of the American GCA company.

This is the best time for China to catch up with the United States in the field of semiconductors. Unfortunately, in the mid-to-late 80s, major scientific research institutions were short of funds, and companies were eager for success. Development, so that China's semiconductor technology is far behind Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, and is often threatened by people getting stuck.

The development of China's semiconductor industry is not a matter for one person. Even Zhao Ye, who has been reborn, finds it very difficult.

The rise of the entire semiconductor industry chain requires the strong support of the state and the close cooperation of various industries.

Zhao Ye drew a simple tree structure diagram on the blackboard in the meeting room at the moment.

The top is the computer, and the bottom is the computer system, CPU, motherboard, memory stick, hard disk, monitor, keyboard, mouse, power supply, etc. from left to right.

"We want to develop our own computer brand, and the following row is the difficulty we need to overcome. In order to obtain the greatest benefit, it is best for us to design and produce the entire set of software and hardware for the computer! Of course, everything must be done step by step. I It’s not a requirement that all major computer components have to be developed at once, which is unrealistic.”

"At present, due to limited funds and technical personnel, when we develop products, we should focus on them."

"The computer's operating system and CPU are the two most difficult and most important parts of a computer. They are also the core competitiveness of a computer brand. Wujiang must invest heavily in research!"

"The motherboard is the carrier of main accessories such as CPU, memory, hardware, etc. The quality of the motherboard directly affects whether the platform can run efficiently and work stably, so the motherboard is very important.

Moreover, motherboards have relatively high technical requirements. A good motherboard can enhance the performance of the computer and thus have strong competitiveness.

The key point is that our Wujiang company is capable of developing motherboards. We have accumulated a lot of technology in the development of Chinese cards, typewriters, and BB machines before.

Therefore, we have to invest heavily in research and development of computer motherboards! "

"As for memory sticks, hard drives, and monitors, we currently don't have the corresponding talents and technologies, so we won't develop them for the time being. We'll consider them when the company grows in size."

"The technology of keyboard, mouse and power supply is relatively low, but some manpower and material resources can be invested in development."

"Now, let me assign tasks."

Zhao Ye paused, glanced at the crowd, and said, "Wang Jizhi is the person in charge of the computer motherboard, and Qiu Bojun is the person in charge of the operating system. As for the CPU, I will be in charge of developing it myself. The chief engineer of the computer motherboard, operating system and CPU, responsible for the overall guidance and development of technology!"

"As for the keyboard, mouse, power supply..."

Zhao Ye thought for a while and said, "The company needs to expand in the future, and urgently needs more talents to join, so a large-scale recruitment campaign must be carried out. Most of the new employees will join the three projects of motherboard, operating system, and CPU. , and the rest will be added to the keyboard, mouse, and power supply items..."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

There were only more than 150 technicians present, but Zhao Ye asked them to develop so many projects, and everyone felt tremendous pressure.

At this moment, Zhao Ye turned to look at Lu Jia, the person in charge of the digital BB machine, and said, "I saw the report, the digital BB machine has been successfully developed?"

"Yes, the sample has passed all kinds of tests, and there is no problem, so it can be mass-produced." Lu Jia nodded in response.

"That's good. Our PC project requires a lot of R&D investment, so we can earn a sum of research and development fees through the digital BB machine!" Zhao Ye laughed, paused for a moment, and explained to Lu Jia, "Some of the BB machine technicians Join other development projects, Mr. Lu, you will continue to lead the rest of the technical staff to optimize the digital BB machine, and at the same time consider the development of Chinese display BB machine."

The market for BB machines is huge, not only in China, but also in overseas markets.

It can be said that the BB machine is expected to become one of Wujiang's flagship products.In the 90s, BB machines became popular all over the world, and they were one of the most popular electronic products at that time.

Although Zhao Ye values ​​PCs, he will not give up BB machines.Before the BB machine fails, Wujiang can transform in advance to develop mobile phones.

The mobile phone market will be bigger than the PC market in the future.

After 10 minutes, the meeting ends.

Excited, everyone exited the meeting room one after another, discussing as they walked, which development project to join.

Zhao Ye was not as relaxed as they were.

The technicians only need to focus on research and development, Zhao Ye, as the boss, has to think about how to make money, otherwise there is no money for the project.

If you are not in charge of your family, you don't know how expensive firewood is.

Zhao Ye shook his head with a wry smile, and was the last one to leave the conference room.

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket support, and if you have the conditions, you can also give a little reward. Applause applaud the author, thank you very much.The grades of the new book are mediocre, and if there is something badly written, everyone is eager to post comments, so I can change it and improve the quality of the work so that more readers can accept it.Please leave more comments in the comment area, I will basically read it.
