The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 458 Jiangnan is also number one in the world

I believe everyone can see that the finger disk is actually a USB flash drive. As for why it turned into a finger disk in Huang He's mouth, it is entirely because Huang He is rich and self-willed, bought the patent of the USB flash drive, and renamed it as a finger disk Disk up.

Of course, it is only called this name in China. When it comes to foreign countries, it is still a USB flash drive. After all, the USB flash drive was already formed in 98, and it was put into the market in 2001, but there are several companies competing for the USB flash drive. The patent right was finally awarded to China's Langtong Technology.

That's right, the U disk was invented by the Chinese.

When the Jiangnan Group was just established, Huang He had already set his sights on the U disk technology. When he went to Shenzhen for the first time, he found Langtong Technology at that time and proposed to acquire Langtong Technology.

Because there were three companies in the world at that time, all claiming to be the inventor of the USB flash drive, including Netac Technology of China, M-Systems of Israel and Trek of Singapore.

At that time, the three companies were competing for the patent right of the U disk, and Netac was at an obvious disadvantage because it was a Chinese company, so it was not favored.

So the price of Netac was not expensive at that time. After Huang He got 10 billion US dollars and then sold out 3000 million US dollars in one breath, the boss of Netac Technology decisively decided to sell the company, so Netac was in the hands of Jiangnan, and then The entire company was directly incorporated into Jiangnan Optoelectronics.

Two months later, the Chinese court ruled that the U-disk patent belonged to Netac, and two years later, the U.S. court also ruled that the U-disk patent belonged to Netac.

In the original history, Netac Technology, which had nothing but U disks, earned more than 20 million US dollars in patent licensing fees by using U disks during the 5-year patent protection period.

But now, the USB flash drive has become Jiangnan Group's own property, and even the name has been changed by Huang He to a thumb drive. Don't ask why, it's Boss Huang's bad taste to ask.

At this time, the eyes of the dealers among the founding members were all red. Although they didn't know why the U disk was renamed the finger disk, there is no doubt that this finger disk has great sales value. , will definitely occupy the entire market.

The question now is, what is the price of this finger plate!

"Now we can provide you with 12 different types of finger disks. These models are calculated according to the capacity. The smallest of them is the 18MB finger disk. The supply price is 30 yuan in the Chinese market. The public price is the same in the Chinese market. 40 yuan!" Huang He said.

"Hold the grass, it's so cheap!" Everyone was stunned. The ordinary founding members might not understand what the price represented, but the dealers, such as Liu Qiangdong, almost had their eyeballs pop out.

Although 3.5-inch floppy disks and USB flash drives are sold at the same time in the market, 3.5-inch floppy disks are still the mainstream of the market because of the small output of USB flash drives.

At present, the largest 3.5-inch floppy disk has a capacity of 1.5MB, and the price is 5 yuan a piece, and the purchase price is about 3 yuan.

Now, the thumb drive with the smallest capacity has a capacity of 18MB, which is equivalent to 3.5 times that of a 12-inch floppy disk, but the price is only 8 times that of it, which is much cheaper.

And small size, plug and play, no floppy disk drive required.

When such things are put on the market for sale, any fool knows what to choose, and there is no trouble in sales at all.

Compared with the U disk currently on the market, the advantage of the finger disk is even greater, because the U disk currently on the market has a very exaggerated sales price because of the small output.

At present, the U disk sold on the market has a minimum capacity of 9MB, but the price has reached 99 yuan.

That's right, a USB flash drive with only 9MB capacity actually sells for nearly 100 yuan, but considering that the USB flash drive is far more practical than a 3.5-inch floppy disk, and now the USB flash drive itself has a considerable pretentious value , so after such a U disk is put into the market, not only no one thinks it is expensive, but there is no worry about sales at all, and it is sold out in the blink of an eye.

Sellers like them have to ask their grandpa to sue their grandma every day, and get a few indicators from the few manufacturers in China. It's really not too tortured.

As for the 18MB U disk, the price has reached 150 yuan a piece, which is more than three times that of the finger disk. In terms of price, it is too much for the finger disk to crush the U disk.

They believe that as soon as the thumb drive comes out, the entire field of personal mobile storage devices will undergo earth-shaking changes, and those who sell USB drives will die in a very ugly way.

"In addition to the 18MB fingerboard, we will also provide 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1024MB, 2G, 4G, 8G, 16G, 32G fingerboard!" Huang He continued, and the audience was completely dumbfounded up.

"Damn it, is Jiangnan Group going crazy? How could they come up with a storage device of this capacity!" This time it was no longer the dealer, but the manufacturer in the electronics industry who was surprised.

Any company that produces electronic products has a very deep understanding of storage devices, because almost all electronic products now need to store data, the difference is only whether the data that needs to be stored is large or small.

So they know very well that the world's most high-end storage technology that has already been marketed is flash memory technology, which is the storage technology currently used in USB flash drives.

For flash memory products, the most important thing is flash memory particles. The quality and quantity of flash memory particles determine how much capacity a piece of flash memory can store.

The U disk with the largest capacity currently sold in the market is only 528MB, and such a U disk is no longer called a U disk, because its size is basically as big as a palm, because a large number of flash memory particles are integrated in it, these are The real size is placed there, it is not small at all.

And because reading the data in the flash memory actually requires power supply, but because of the design of the U disk, it can only be powered through the USB interface.

The greater the number of flash memory particles, the greater the voltage and current required.

I believe that when you use a U disk, you have encountered such a situation, that is, when a U disk is inserted into the USB interface on the front of the host, the data on the U disk cannot be read anyway.

But if you plug it in the back of the case, you can read the data in the U disk.

The reason for this situation is that the U disk in the front of the chassis is not directly connected to the motherboard, but is additionally connected through wires. The USB interface voltage is much lower.

If the voltage is insufficient, the big data U disk will not work. Only the USB interface directly connected to the motherboard can meet the working voltage when it is inserted into the back of the chassis.

This is also the reason why the maximum capacity of the U disk is controlled at 528MB, because no matter how high the capacity is, the current of the USB interface will no longer be able to drive the operation of the U disk.

But now, the finger disks sold by the Jiangnan Group have actually reached a capacity of 32G, which has completely surpassed the cognition of all the people in the industry.

"President Huang, is what you said true?" Someone couldn't help asking.

"Of course, I can demonstrate it to you right now!" Huang He smiled slightly, and then 12 beautiful hostesses came up with 12 trays, among which were finger plates.

And each tray is pasted with a note, marking the capacity of the finger plate on the tray.

Among them, the finger disks from 18MB to 528MB are all the same size, with only about one finger.

Starting from 1GB, the size of the fingerboard has become about the size of 4 fingers together, but even the largest 32G fingerboard is the same size.

And this size is only less than 528/1 of the 5MBU disk on the market.

Immediately afterwards, Huang respectively plugged these finger disks into the USB ports of the computer. The screen of this computer is directly connected to the projection screen, so everyone can clearly see that the various finger disks read by the computer As expected, the data is exactly as Huang He said, the Jiangnan Group really produced a 32GB USB flash drive... Oh, no, it should be called a thumb drive.

"Could it be that the data has been changed?" Some people thought it was incredible and murmured in their hearts.

"These 12 types of fingerboards will all go on sale in one month, and you can get the goods from Jiangnan Group. You will know how much storage space such a fingerboard contains, and if I dare If these data are falsified, wouldn’t it be that the Jiangnan Group’s reputation will be swept away?” Huang He laughed, and everyone burst into laughter.

Yes, small companies or counterfeit companies may play this kind of fake tricks, but Jiangnan Group will never play this kind of thing. People can't afford to lose this person, so he is really so scary when it comes to these fingers. storage capacity?

Immediately afterwards, Huang He announced the prices of these thumb drives, which are not listed here in detail. Anyway, the prices are at least half cheaper than the USB drives of the same capacity.

As for the finger plate with higher capacity, because there is no comparable product at all, the price is expensive or cheap, because this is the only one. Except for the finger plate of Jiangnan Group, you can’t buy other products at all. .

"In addition, we also provide brand-new products such as mobile hard drives. The mobile hard drives also use the flash memory particles developed by Jiangnan Group. The data reading speed is more than twice that of all hard drives currently sold. There are five different models in total, 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB”

"The mobile hard disk can also be used by plugging it into the USB interface, but it needs to be equipped with an additional power cord, otherwise the data inside cannot be read!" Huang He introduced.

"Fortunately, we still need to use the power cord, otherwise it would be beyond our cognitive ability!" Everyone felt a burst of fear.But computing is still within the scope of cognitive ability. The storage technology of Jiangnan Group is no longer world-class, but the world's top level. It is unique and no other company can surpass it. It has truly achieved the world's number one. One of the techniques.
