Chapter 122: Use small things to make big things happen

To acquire the French Boulanger Electrical Appliances Mall and dozens of French retail stores, it is expected that more than 200 million US dollars will be mobilized!

Although the acquisition by Tanglin Hi-Tech was done under the hood and foundations were established in Singapore and other places, even if the acquisition was successful, the name of Tanglin Hi-Tech would not appear.

But for such a large acquisition, it is impossible to hide the capital mobilization from the foreign exchange bureau. In the past, foreign companies acquired domestic companies. When did domestic companies dare to counter-takeover? This acquisition is actually the first overseas acquisition by a domestic company. .

"The acquisition plan continues, and overseas sales channels must be established!"

Li Dongling said to Hu Xian that overseas sales channels are really important to Dongling Hi-tech. If Dongling Hi-tech wants to continue selling its products overseas, this must be done.

"Where's the technical department?!"

Li Dongling looked at Chen Tao. During this period, everyone at Dongling High-tech, including Li Dongling, was busy with the Shenzhou phone. However, Li Dongling was not relaxed about the technology department and the joint laboratory, and had been investing in research and development. The capital and technology department is also the department with the fastest growth in personnel and scale in the entire Dongling Hi-Tech.

"Silver Sable's second-generation optical mouse is currently being tested and we plan to launch it on the market next spring!"

Chen Tao said that the optical mouse technology department has also been developing it for a long time. This optical mouse was also developed based on the drawings designed by Li Dongling.

The drawings Li Dongling gave to the mouse project team of the Technology Department were designed based on Microsoft IE3, a generation classic in the mouse industry. This is one of the most popular products in the history of the mouse industry. Even after the discontinuation of production, it is still remembered by countless people, and even after development None of them could be reproduced.

Li Dongling hopes to use the second-generation Silver Sable mouse to open overseas markets. Although the first-generation mechanical mouse was well received and earned patent licensing fees from manufacturers such as Microsoft and Logitech, it was not able to open overseas markets.

"For the new generation of Silver Sable mice, we need to cooperate with computer manufacturers such as IBM, Dell, HP, Compaq, and Apple. If necessary, we can put their logos on the mouse!" Li Dongling said to everyone in the office.

For big brand computers, the mouse is shipped as an accessory together with the computer. Users purchase the mouse separately, which has not yet become mainstream. If the Silver Sable mouse has the logo of those computer brands, the sales can be greatly increased, and it will not make money. Poor, Logitech didn’t come here like this!

"In addition to the mouse, Tanglin Hi-Tech wants to develop more computer peripheral products. Within three years, Tanglin Hi-Tech will launch its own brand of computers!"

Facing Ren Yuefeng, Hu Huxian, Chen Tao and many other people, Li Dongling did not mince words and said directly that Dongling Hi-Tech must first become the king of computer peripherals, including mouse, keyboard, camera, motherboard, and chip. , screens, etc. are completed, then launch their own brand of computers.

"I hope that Tanglin Hi-Tech's first computer is a laptop, and that it can become the best-performing laptop in history!"

Li Dongling smiled and said to everyone that desktop computers are already fighting fiercely. In a few years, they will be bleeding like rivers. Laptop computers will usher in an epic explosion, especially Dell, which relies on With the latter achieving a sudden rise.

Laptop computers are the best opportunity for Tanglin Hi-Tech to enter the computer industry, and the profits are far higher than desktop computers. After establishing a firm foothold in this industry, they will then move towards desktop computers, blindly following companies such as IBM, Compaq, and Dell. Behind the scenes, you can't take advantage at all. If you don't see the IBM computer, you will almost kill yourself!

"Manager Chen, from now on the mouse project department will be reorganized into the computer equipment department, and the Shenzhou project department will be reorganized into the communications equipment department. In the future, the computer equipment department will not only develop mice, but also enter the fields of keyboards, cameras, headphones and other computer equipment!"

Li Dongling said to Chen Tao that now that the stalls are gradually being built, the Dongling High-tech Technology Department also needs to be reorganized. In addition to these two R&D departments, in the future, a software development department will also be established in the technology department.

"In the computer equipment department, in addition to launching the second-generation Silver Sable mouse, we will also start developing keyboards, cameras and other products starting next year!"

"Next year," Li Dongling said this to Chen Tao, and also to Ren Yuefeng, Huxian and others, "Donngling High-Tech will launch two most important new products, USB flash drives and PHS!"

"USB flash drive?!"

Chen Tao was the first to ask. He is the most obsessed with technology. How could he not be curious when he heard about this product that he had never heard of before. In fact, Chen Tao has been surprised more than once since he came to Dongling High-Tech. When Chen Tao was at Hanxi Jiaotong University, he was also called a genius. Although he did not admit it personally, he was quite proud.

But after coming to Dongling Hi-tech, the research and development of silver sable mice, electronic pet machines, and Shenzhou digital cordless phones made Chen Tao begin to doubt the word genius. At least compared to Li Dongling, he didn't feel it at all. It's not as valuable as the word genius.

Are products such as the Silver Sable Mouse, Electronic Pet Machine, and Shenzhou Digital Cordless Phone technically difficult? Although they are said to be, they are by no means out of date with the technology of this era. However, before Li Dongling proposed it and before Dongling Hi-Tech developed it, there was no technology. If people do it, they are actually leading the trend of science and technology!

Compared with many domestic companies, what is the biggest difference between Donglin Hi-Tech? It is not the so-called management system or different slogans, nor is it different goals and concepts. The biggest difference is that Donglin Hi-tech Ling Gaoke did not follow those foreign giant companies and pick up leftovers, but blazed its own path!

No one knows how this road will turn out, but at present, Tanglin Hi-Tech is still walking on this road. Looking at the global technology giants in the past two decades, most of them have something they are proud of. , I have never heard that one can become a giant by following others.

Li Dongling handed several documents to Chen Tao, Ren Yuefeng and others, "The USB flash drive can help Dongling High-tech establish its position and importance in the computer industry. If the research and development is successful, Dongling High-tech has hope that with this product, Join Microsoft, Apple, Dell, IBM and other companies to establish the USB Alliance to determine port standards for mice, keyboards, computers, printers, joysticks, modems and audio devices!

If successful, the USB Alliance will become the first industry standard proposed by China in the computer industry!

And the USB flash drive will also become the first product invented by Chinese people in the thirty years after the emergence of computers! "

Now in the computer industry, there are no standards. Every computer manufacturer, printer, and scanner manufacturer has its own port standards. If you want a computer that can connect to all printers, scanners, and various mechanical equipment, basically In my dream, only the emergence of the USB Alliance changed everything.

It is definitely unreliable and unrealistic for Tanglin Hi-tech to establish a USB alliance, but it does not prevent Tanglin Hi-tech from proposing this concept and then attracting giants such as Microsoft and IBM to join, especially Microsoft. Bill Gates is now obsessed with fame and fortune. He cares about it very much. He is definitely not short of money, but he cares about his reputation.

Forming the USB Alliance, solving a problem for countless companies and users around the world, and becoming the leader in the technology industry, Li Dongling does not believe that Bill Gates can hold back. This is an opportunity to leave his name in history, let alone him, Intel, How many people, including the president of IBM, can endure it? !

Every time Li Dongling finished speaking, Chen Tao, Ren Yuefeng and others breathed a little heavier. The Chinese established the standard for the computer industry. The first patented computer product developed by the Chinese? !

Don’t say you can do both, even if you do one, you have to leave a mark in the domestic technology industry. Now, not only individuals in China are looking for social recognition, but even countries are looking for international recognition.

This is an era of extreme lack of self-confidence. If a global standard for the industry can be established, even if it is just a nomination, as long as you become one of the initiators, your reputation and influence in the country will have a huge impact.

In order to promote the USB Alliance standard, this standard and technology will be free, but this does not mean that it has no influence. The standard can be changed. Whoever masters the standard controls the entire industry and can also use it to attack opponents!

Chen Tao looked at the file in his hand. The USB flash drive is a plug-and-play product that combines storage and flash memory technologies and does not require a drive.

Looking at the document in his hand, the more Chen Tao looked at it, the brighter his eyes became. When Ren Yuefeng saw Chen Tao's expression, he immediately understood that there might be something wrong with this matter, "Can a USB flash drive be developed?!"

Chen Tao closed his eyes and recalled everything Li Dongling gave him, "Okay!"

"Mr. Li... it's really true," Chen Tao suppressed his excitement, "This is definitely a genius idea. It's not technically difficult. The interface technology has long been mature, and flash memory technology is also available. It only requires a set of control programs. After developing it, we just need to make some technical optimizations. We can develop a USB flash drive with larger storage, optimize security, and data will not be lost even if the power is turned off. The USB flash drive can definitely be developed!"

"Floppy disks and CDs will all be replaced by them!" Chen Tao said firmly. As a technician, he knows very well how useful the USB flash drive will be after it is developed. Wherever there are computers, there will be them. It is possible that its sales volume may exceed that of computers in certain periods.

Hearing Chen Tao's words, Ren Yuefeng, Hu Xian and others were also very surprised. If it is true as Chen Tao said, the USB flash drive will become one of the new hot items of Tanglin Hi-Tech next year!

If a USB flash drive is developed, then Chen Tao and Ren Yuefeng feel that there might be something to be done if they join forces with Microsoft and other companies to launch USB standards and alliances!

　Sorry for the late update, I have something to deal with at home in the morning.
