Reborn since 1993

Chapter 291 Big Deal
After the press conference, Walter praised Microsoft for several minutes. The press conference was finally over. However, before the press conference ended, many media reporters and computer brand company representatives had already left early and rushed back to their respective newspapers to return the news. There are companies, reporting on the situation at the press conference.

Murakami Shoji left in a hurry and flew directly back to Japan on a special plane to report to Toshiba.

"Mr. Li, are you sure that what the USB Alliance promotes will be accepted by global computer manufacturers?"

"Which one of you or Bill Gates will serve as the president of the USB Alliance?"

"Hong Kong City and overseas media have claimed that the Li family will become the new richest family in mainland China. What do you think, Mr. Li?!"

As soon as the press conference ended, reporters from various media swarmed up and surrounded Li Dongling, throwing all kinds of questions at Li Dongling.

Questions were asked about Silver Sable and Shenzhou USB flash drives, but what attracted the most attention to these reporters was the issue of the USB Alliance and Li Dongling’s net worth.

Lu Shan was still not experienced enough, so she didn't get a good position at all and couldn't ask Li Dongling questions. However, there were enough exciting materials in today's press conference, enough for her to provide a manuscript to Science and Technology Digest. Lu Shan felt that this There isn’t much to write about during a press conference!
Moreover, unlike other media, Science and Technology Digest does not need to rush to publish articles. Lu Shan feels that the articles can be written in more depth. A lot can be written on the topic of mainland standards alone!

After dealing with reporters and coming out of the press conference, Li Dongling said to the executives around him, including Ren Yuefeng, Chen Tao, Zhang Ao, Duan Youli, etc. of Dongling Hi-Tech, "The advertisements for the Silver Sable optical mouse and the Shenzhou USB flash drive need to be released immediately. After opening, production capacity must be increased as soon as possible, and goods must be distributed as soon as possible in both domestic and overseas markets!”

Ren Yuefeng and others all nodded in agreement. This press conference was just the beginning. The next step was to advertise domestically and sell the products. Without sales, everything was nonsense.

"If the standards of the USB Alliance can be accepted by major computer manufacturers, then the Silver Sable mouse may have a chance to get orders from major computers!"

Ren Yuefeng said that most of the mouses now still rely on major computer brands. Logitech also relies on OEMs for computer brands, or directly sells them under the brands of Dell and HP.

If the Silver Sable mouse can also get orders from other computer manufacturers, it will be equivalent to opening up foreign markets. Although the first-generation Silver Sable mouse was famous, it was basically still sold in China.

"As I said before, Silver Sable needs to stabilize the domestic market and then look for opportunities to cooperate with foreign computer brands!" Li Dongling said.

……

The press conference has ended, but the waves caused by Tanglin Hi-tech's press conference have just begun to appear in the technology and media industries.

At the Lenovo headquarters in Yanjing, Liu Jun, who returned to Yanjing, went straight to Boss Liu's office and reported to Boss Liu what happened at Dongling Hi-Tech's Hanxi press conference.

"The media haven't started reporting on a large scale yet, but it will be reported soon, including the central media!" Liu Jun glanced at his watch and said to Boss Liu.

Putting aside the sound, the USB alliance makes mainland technology practitioners tremble and excited. Just talk about the Shenzhou USB flash drive. This is the first time in the entire computer industry since computers were developed in mainland China in the past 30 years. What is the significance of a product developed through independent innovation?
Even for various departments, departments, and units such as the Ministry of Science and Technology, the National Commission of Science and Industry, the Ministry of Electronic Industry, and the Ministry of Machinery Industry, the Shenzhou USB flash drive is the most important invention and product in the domestic technology industry this year. The contributions made by these leading departments in the domestic science and technology industry this year can be reported as political achievements. How can we actively advocate for Shenzhou U Disk?
Not to mention, there is now a USB Alliance. Once Tanglin Hi-tech really joins hands with Microsoft to make it happen, then there is no need for Tanglin Hi-tech to brag about it. The Ministry of Science and Technology, the Science and Technology Commission, the Ministry of Electronics Industry, and their own Science and Technology Daily will The media must blow this continent’s first global technical standard into the sky!

"Is the Shenzhou USB flash drive really made by Tanglin Hi-Tech?"

Boss Liu was surprised and asked in disbelief. As a member of the mainland that advertises "domestic" computers, Lenovo is very aware of the current situation of the domestic computer industry. It is said to be domestically produced, but the operating system is purchased from Microsoft and the chip is from Intel. Most of the remaining parts are purchased from Sharp, Toshiba, IBM, AST, Merlin Gerin and other companies.

The only components currently used in Lenovo computers are domestically produced and self-produced parts, which are the Lenovo Hanka and the mouse. The Hanka was developed by Ni Guangnan, and the mouse is Silver Sable from Donglin Hi-Tech...

Therefore, when he suddenly heard that, as the only USB flash drive developed by mainland China in the global computer industry in the past thirty years, Boss Liu’s first reaction was that he could not believe it. It was something that Lenovo had not developed yet. Dongling Gaoke actually did it?

Although Boss Liu, who has always advocated trade, industry and technology, is somewhat dismissive of independent research and development, thinking that it is simply a waste of money in the past few years, but when he heard about the Shenzhou USB flash drive, he could not help but be a little surprised. He knew it very well. , if all this is true, it will have a huge shock to the entire domestic computer industry.

U disks are different from mice. Mouse has been developed abroad for a long time. Although Silver Sable's first-generation mechanical mouse is innovative, it cannot be said to change the computer industry. However, the emergence of U disks does have the opportunity to change computer manufacturers. Follow the user’s habits!
Liu Jun first glanced at Boss Liu's face, and then said cautiously, "Although the Shenzhou USB flash drive also uses Toshiba's flash memory technology, the concept, technology, and patent of the USB flash drive were indeed developed by Donglin Hi-Tech. Yes, patents have been applied for all over the world. The USB flash drive was the first to be developed by Tanglin Hi-Tech, and no one can object to it!”

Hearing this, Boss Liu’s face was filled with uncertainty. He didn’t know what he was thinking. Liu Jun bit the bullet and said, “Mr. Liu, the question now is whether Lenovo wants to make a statement and express its intention to join the USB Alliance. Support for Shenzhou USB flash drives?”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Jun clearly saw that Boss Liu's face immediately tensed up, so that he did not dare to speak anymore. Guo Wei, Yang Yuanqing and other close confidants of Boss Liu who were next to him also did not dare to make any noise. , waiting for Boss Liu to make a decision.

What makes Boss Liu dissatisfied is that if Lenovo joins the USB Alliance and expresses its support for Shenzhou USB flash drives, Lenovo will be inferior to Dongling Hi-Tech in the future. This is unacceptable to him. In IBM, HP It’s okay to pretend to be a grandson in front of companies such as , Dell, Compaq, etc. Why should you be a little brother to a domestic company? "I think we should be more cautious about this matter and let it go first..."

Before Boss Liu could say anything, Liu Jun's cell phone suddenly rang. He glanced at Boss Liu, and after Boss Liu nodded, he answered Qi's call, and then his expression suddenly changed.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jun had a look of helplessness on his face, "Mr. Liu, the situation has changed!"

After that, Liu Jun got up and turned on the TV, tuned to the Central Media News Channel, and saw the host above reporting the news in a calm tone, but if you listen carefully, you can still hear a bit of excitement in it.

"According to the latest news from our overseas correspondent in America, just today, the USB Global Alliance, formed by the mainland technology company Tanglin Hi-Tech, in conjunction with Microsoft, Intel and other companies, was officially announced!
At present, eleven companies, including Donglin Hi-Tech, Microsoft, Intel, Apple, IBM, Compaq, Sharp, and Xerox, have successively announced to join the USB Alliance. The first USB Alliance was led by Microsoft founder and president Bill Gates. ! "

CCTV News showed for a few seconds a picture of the USB Alliance being established in Seattle, America. Zhou Hualiang, manager of the American branch of Tanglin Hi-Tech, participated on behalf of Tanglin Hi-Tech.

The news on TV continues, "The USB Alliance was initiated and proposed by Hanxi Dongling Hi-Tech to solve the current problem of confusing interface standards in the global computer industry.

Shenzhou USB flash drive, currently the world's most advanced storage device, is the first product launched in accordance with the USB Alliance standards. It is also the latest technology product independently designed and invented by my country in the computer industry, and represents my country's progress in the field of science and technology. .

Tanglin High-tech announced that the Shenzhou USB flash drive will be sold globally and will be launched in mainland China, Hong Kong, America, Germany, France and other regions!
The High-Tech Department under the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China issued an initiative, proposing that mainland technology companies actively join the USB Alliance and align with international standards, and also proposed that my country's technology companies develop into high-tech fields..."

Everyone at Lenovo looked at the news on the central media and felt a little silent. Lenovo is located in Yanjing, and it is still a state-owned enterprise. If you can't understand what is in the news, then it is all in vain.

It was precisely because of their understanding that all Lenovo executives, including Boss Liu, were a little silent. When the Ministry of Science and Technology publicly announced its end, Boss Liu had just been thinking about suppressing Lenovo's joining the USB Alliance and taking it easy. Wait, maybe there will be a turn for the better, and Lenovo doesn't have to be so inferior to Donglin Hi-Tech.

But now, when the central media reports that the High-Tech Department under the Ministry of Science and Technology has directly stepped down to cheer for the USB Alliance, does Lenovo still have a choice?

"Issuing a statement announcing that Lenovo has joined the USB Alliance. In addition, we will purchase 5,000 sets of Silver Sable optical mice and 1,000 Shenzhou USB flash drives from Dongling Hi-Tech to be sold with Lenovo computers!" Boss Liu said with some waning interest.

……

"Lenovo, Great Wall, Inspur, Qixi, Shida, Tongfang, Donghai, Hisense, Changhong, Konka, Haier, TCL, Guohe, Tsinghua Tongfang, Ziguang, Tongchuang, Bai'an, Muze, New Blue and other domestic over 30 companies Two computer manufacturers announced to join the USB Alliance! ”

As soon as the central media news came out, various domestic computer manufacturers announced that they would join the USB Alliance and use the interface standards established by USB on the latest computers.

China is currently in a period of computer explosion. After the cancellation of computer import licenses, a large number of computer manufacturers have emerged. In addition to national computer brands, there are also brands supported by various local governments because they make money.

Anyway, the parts and components are purchased from abroad. All you need to do is save them and put a brand on them. There is no need to worry about selling computers now. Every time a machine is produced and sold, it can create jobs and increase taxes. Why not do it? This has also led to the emergence of dozens or hundreds of brands, large and small, in China in recent years.

After the news about Shenzhou U Disk and USB Alliance was reported by the central media and various domestic media, it immediately caused an uproar. Even people who are not familiar with computers saw the news and thought that Shenzhou U Disk is very powerful. USB Alliance It is a global standard created by mainland China, and all foreign companies must follow this standard!

When all kinds of overwhelming news came out, public opinion immediately exploded. Coupled with the Ministry of Science and Technology's statement, various domestic computer brands directly announced to join the USB Alliance, and even some computer dealers and agents have signed up to join. The slogan of the USB Alliance seems to be outdated if you don't join, and can't keep up with the trend of technology.

Similarly, the scene after Silver Sable won the lawsuit against Microsoft was once again staged on this ancient land. China is now an era of lack of self-confidence and extreme need for self-confidence. Anyone who can improve the morale of domestic people and Any object will quickly rise to the level of a hero and be sought after by everyone. Now, this is the case with the Shenzhou USB flash drive and the Silver Sable mouse. People express their support for such things very simply and directly, that is, buy, buy, buy!
At the end of the press conference and half a month after preparation, Dongling Hi-Tech began to take the lead in launching the Silver Sable mouse and Shenzhou USB flash drive in the domestic market.

"Due to the order demand from major computer manufacturers and dealers, the domestic order volume of the Silver Sable optical mouse exceeded 21 units in three days, and the pre-sales exceeded million!"

"The domestic sales of Shenzhou USB flash drives exceeded 70,000 units in three days, and pre-sales exceeded 33.6 million yuan!"

Hanxi media was the first to report the sales of Shenzhou USB flash drives and Silver Sable optical mice. You must know that these are only domestic sales. How many computer users are there now in China? What is the domestic per capita income level? To achieve such sales in three days, basically It’s equivalent to being sold out!
