Dell was established in 1984, and it took Michael Dell less than four years to get his company listed successfully and become a young billionaire with assets of tens of millions.

In the same year that Dell was established, a technology company called Lianxiang was also established in China on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. In another time and space, the two companies are inextricably linked after 20 years.

Lianxiang had just acquired ibm's personal computer division when dell was the dominant pc market. At that time, Dell's salesman even directly told customers that buying ThinkPad was funding the Chinese government, which aroused strong protests from Lianxiang and the Chinese government. Later, Dell gradually began to decline, while Lianxiang became the new king of the global PC industry.

Lianxiang didn't directly make computers at first. Its first famous product was Lianxiang Hanka, which was similar to Li Xuan's first pot of gold. Without Li Xuan, China's early personal computers were almost entirely imported.

The domestic market is too small, and foreign companies have no incentive to localize their software. You must know that the first simplified Chinese version of Microsoft's Windows operating system was launched in the mid-1990s.

Therefore, in another time and space, until the early 1990s, domestic computers required an additional Hanka to be used. In fact, not only Lianxiang company, Shi Yuzhu's giant company also started as a Hanka.

However, due to the appearance of Li Xuan, Dongfang Software Co., Ltd. was listed as early as abc-1. Simultaneously launched the Chinese version of the east-dos operating system and the east-office office software. Later, the Oriental Research Institute cooperated with Huhai Computer Industry Company to set up a joint venture to produce abc series computers in China. So the Eastern Software Company at that time. By the way, some of the traditional Chinese version of the software has been upgraded to the simplified version.

In this way, Hanka was stillborn before he could enter the stage of history. Li Xuan regretted it for a while, and even thought that the company was likely to disappear into the clouds of history because of this. He even thought about it in a big way, and simply dug Liu Chuanzhi directly to the joint venture company in Shanghai.

It’s just that this is just thinking. Before Liu Chuanzhi went to sea to start a business, he was just an ordinary researcher at the Institute of Computer Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Even if he was transferred to the joint venture company in Shanghai. It is also impossible to enter management at his level. What's more, the Oriental Research Institute is mainly responsible for providing technical support and is not prepared to deeply intervene in the management of the joint venture.

So Li Xuan didn't mess around at first, but then quickly forgot about it. Dell was stubbornly unaffected by his butterfly. Liu Chuanzhi also did not. He was still in 1984, with 10 people pulled out of the computer lab, and went to sea to establish Lianxiang Company.

It's just that Lianxiang's company can't make a fortune by developing Hanka this time, but it is the so-called perfect way. Thanks to Li Xuan's vigorous promotion of abc technical standards around the world. Even thinking about the company is easy to match. All parts of the abc-1 and abc-2 computers that are not subject to strict import restrictions.

So the Lianxiang Company in this life, relying on the signboard of the Institute of Computer Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, began to take orders from major ministries and commissions and city-level agencies in Beijing, and then assembled its own computers to sell. Instead, it entered the computer ten years earlier than another time and space. industry.

"I said buddy, the price of erm-2 will not drop in the short term. If you want to change CPU, you can start now, even if you wait a month or two, it will still be the same price! If you really have difficulty in budget . I suggest you simply choose a second-hand cpu!

These are all erm-2s replaced by Hong Kong people after upgrading their computers. There is absolutely no problem in quality! I, Liu Hao, set up shop in Nantou Street to do business. It's not even a day or two! As the saying goes, a monk who can run cannot run away from the temple. My shop is here, if there is a problem with the cpu within half a year, I will give you another one unconditionally! "

As soon as Liu Chuanzhi entered the door, he heard the boss, who had shaved short hair, was eloquently persuading a customer in a school uniform. The owner's name is Liu Hao. When he saw Liu Chuanzhi entering the door, he immediately put aside the hesitant customers and greeted Liu Chuanzhi with a smile.

"Mr. Liu, you are a rare customer! Why did you come here in person this time? In fact, you only need to give me a call, and I will give you priority delivery with guaranteed quality and quantity. We have been dealing with each other for so long. You have become old friends!" Liu Hao said diligently, pouring a glass of water for Liu Chuanzhi.

"Aikang has launched a new computer, and the domestic computer market will definitely usher in a new round of reshuffle! I couldn't feel the pulse in Beijing, so I had to go to the deep sea to explore the bottom!" Liu Chuanzhi explained.

"Who said it wasn't! The abc-6 was just launched, and all the original imported abc-5s on the market in the SAR immediately dropped by 10%. Immediately after that, the wholesale prices of all models of the erm-2 series in Hong Kong were also generally lowered. 10% to 15%!"

Liu Hao nodded to Liu Chuanzhi, then suddenly turned his head and said to the customer just now, "Dude, this is the real reason for the price reduction of erm-2! The manufacturer has just adjusted the price, and there will definitely not be a price reduction in the short term, so I really I didn't lie to you!"

"I heard that there is going to be an IT Cyberport at the main entrance of SUSTech?" Liu Chuanzhi asked suddenly.

"I didn't expect Mr. Liu to be so far away in Beijing, and the news is so well-informed! When SUSTech was established, the Shenhai Municipal Government had taken over a lot of land. In fact, the current campus of SUSTech only uses a small piece of all the land, and most of the other land is used. All places will be used for commercial development as part of the funding source for SUSTech!

This it cyberport is jointly developed by SUSTech and Kunpeng Real Estate. It is planned to open for business before the end of the year, and it will start attracting foreign investment next Monday. The entire mall has five floors, the ground floor is a brand computer store, the second and third floors are assembly computer areas, and the fourth and fifth floors are various computer accessories areas!

Once the it Cyberport opens, the business on Nantou Street will definitely be greatly affected. So I'm also considering whether to go there and vote for a berth! "Liu Hao said with a sigh.

Even though the man in front of him was ugly, Liu Chuanzhi knew that the other party's net worth was very rich. Just thinking about the orders the company places for Liu Hao every month can make him tens of thousands of dollars in profit.

Since its inception in 1984 to the present. Lianxiang has gone through the assembly stage and started to set up a formal factory to produce its own brand of abc series compatible machines. Lianxiang's main products are abc-2 and abc-3.

abc-2 mainly supplies primary and secondary schools across the country. As the country actively promotes the development of computers, many key middle schools with conditions have begun to build computer rooms one after another. And even with the name of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lianxiang can still scare a group of people.

As for the abc-3 compatible machine, it mainly supplies institutions and enterprises. These units have also started a boom in computerized office in recent years. Although China's current economic conditions make it impossible to have one computer per person, most units will buy at least one or two computers to decorate their facades.

In fact, except for the production of abc-2 and abc-3 compatible machines. Lianxiang is also secretly producing ABC-5 compatible machines in small batches. The cpu used on abc-5 is a 32-bit erm-2 series processor.

This is a product on the Batumi Commission's list of restricted exports to China, so if China wants to import abc-5 or erm-2 processors, it needs to go through a very cumbersome declaration process. In China, Shanghai Shuguang Computer Co., Ltd. is also a joint venture of the Oriental Research Institute. Able to import erm-2 processors in small batches.

Oriental Research Institute and Huhai Computer Industry Co., Ltd. jointly established a joint venture factory. It was finally named Dawning Computer Company. This name was chosen by Li Xuan himself. He remembered that there was a very famous series of supercomputers in later generations in China called Dawning.

Compared with the Dawning Computer Company, which is backed by the Oriental Research Institute, Lianxiang's Institute of Computer Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences naturally cannot handle the Batumi Committee. And Liu Chuanzhi really wanted to produce abc-5 compatible machines.

Because now the domestic computer industry can be described as a hundred schools of thought contending and a hundred flowers blooming. In addition to companies with strength and background like Huhai Shuguang Company, there are more than 50 companies in the country that are producing computers.

Most of these companies are not very strong, and basically obtain the spare parts of abc-1 and abc-2 compatible machines through the import channels of the deep-sea special zone. After the assembly is completed, it will be used for OEM sales. With the reduction of the difficulty of importing the erm-1 processor, more and more companies have begun to produce abc-3 compatible machines in China.

This also directly led to a big plunge in the price of abc-3 compatible machines. Lianxiang can only increase its promotion efforts and maintain profits by running the number. The price of abc-5 remains high due to limited production. So Liu Chuanzhi simply imported the erm-2 processor through a special channel, and then secretly produced the abc-5 computer.

Lianxiang, the source of all erm-2 processors in the company, officially passed the unremarkable man in front of him. According to Liu Chuanzhi's own guess, Liu Hao can earn at least 100 yuan for each erm-2 processor smuggled.

And Lianxiang Company has to buy at least 100 erm-2 processors of various models from the other party ~www.readwn.com~ every month. In other words, Liu Haoguang earns more than 10,000 yuan per month from Lianxiang Company.

Of course, Lianxiang actually makes more money. For every abc-5 sold, Lianxiang can earn at least 1,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the profit of six or seven abc-3s. It's just that this model is not a long-term solution after all. On the one hand, the technical standard of abc-5 is not completely free, and on the other hand, Liu Hao's processor supply channel is not guaranteed.

If Liu Chuanzhi was going to leave with just one stroke, then he didn't need to worry about these issues at all. But he and his company have high ambitions. Therefore, obtaining legal technology authorization and parts supply channels has become a hurdle that Lianxiang has to overcome in the next step of development.

This time along with the news of the price cut of the abc-5 computer there is another news. It is rumored that the Oriental Group is making all-out efforts to tackle key problems, and it is expected that the US government will relax the restrictions on the export of erm-2 processors to China in the near future.

If this news is true, Liu Chuanzhi hopes that Lianxiang Company can directly establish supply channels with Dongfang Group. And this is the most important reason why he personally went south from Beijing to the Deep Sea Special Zone! (To be continued.)
