Reborn since 1993

Chapter 387 It’s rude to come and not return.

The Computer Developers Association was soon established under the promotion of companies such as Solitaire and Lenovo. Currently, a number of domestic computer manufacturers, including Great Wall, 7Up, Inspur, Tongfang and other computer manufacturers, as well as computer component manufacturers, have joined the Computer Developers Association.

Of course, including Founder, the threshold for application entry is not high. As the proposers of the Computer Developers Association, Lenovo and Solitaire gave the reason for establishing the association in order to enable the domestic computer industry to develop better and become one of the world's top computers.

In addition, computer companies and other companies have also announced the establishment of a Computer Developers Association, which can negotiate with overseas computer hardware and software companies such as Intel, IBM, Microsoft, Toshiba, Samsung, and Sony to prevent the domestic computer industry from being taken advantage of.

The reason given is indeed very plausible. It is obvious that Lenovo wants to be the leader in the domestic computer industry.

However, other companies were not blocked from joining the Computer Developers Association, except Dongling Hi-Tech's proposal to join the Computer Developers Association, which was rejected!

As for the Computer Developers Association Board of Directors, which is mainly composed of Lenovo and Solitaire, no reason was given for the veto, but it simply refused to allow Dongling Hi-Tech to join the Computer Developers Association.

This is almost directly standing in opposition to Dongling Hi-Tech. Various computer manufacturers have also realized that Lenovo and Solitaire established the Computer Developers Association, and they are targeting someone!

Lenovo and Dongling Hi-Tech did not have much in common before. The only bond between them was probably that after Ni Guangnan left Lenovo, he joined Dongxin Semiconductor, a subsidiary of Dongling Hi-Tech, to develop domestic computer chips for Dongxin Semiconductor.

This made Lenovo bear the infamy, and many media reported that Boss Liu could not tolerate Ni Guangnan, and that Dongxin Semiconductor's development of domestic computer chips also embarrassed Boss Liu.

After all, he has always been against self-developed chips, claiming that domestic computer chips cannot be developed, and even if they are developed, they are not as good as chips from Intel, IBM and other companies, so it is better to buy them...

If Doxin Semiconductor really produces domestically produced chips, it would be a huge loss of face for Boss Liu, which would naturally make him unhappy.

However, another voice has emerged regarding not allowing Dongling Hi-Tech to join the Computer Developers Association. Lenovo claims that this is for the sake of other domestic computer brands.

Just take the influence and popularity of Shenzhou, a subsidiary of Dongling Hi-Tech, plus Dongling Hi-Tech's technology, R&D strength, and funding. If Dongling Hi-Tech enters the computer industry, what will other domestic computer brands have to do?

Lenovo is protecting other domestic computer brands. I don't know who spread this voice, but it has a tendency to bring the domestic computer industry to the opposite side of Dongling Hi-Tech. It seems that Dongling Hi-Tech has become the villain of the computer industry, making Dongling Hi-Tech, which has not yet launched a computer brand, stand in opposition to the domestic computer industry.

Ren Yuefeng was of course very dissatisfied with this. It was hard to say how harmful Boss Liu's move was, but it was indeed disgusting.

In the future, when Dongxin Semiconductor launches domestic computer chips, if the Computer Developers Association interferes and prevents domestic computer manufacturers from purchasing them, Dongxin Semiconductor will probably lose a large number of orders.

As an emerging computer chip developer, if domestic computer companies do not purchase it, then Dongxin Semiconductor's road will be much more difficult. Not to mention touching Intel's tiger whiskers, it is probably a problem whether it can survive.

Many computer companies are now taking a spectator's attitude and watching Lenovo form a computer developers association to compete with Dongling Hi-Tech.

The biggest impact of this incident on Dongling Hi-Tech is that many domestic peers began to treat Dongling Hi-Tech as a rival. This is the most uncomfortable thing for Ren Yuefeng and Dongling Hi-Tech executives.

Zhang Yufeng saw Ren Yuefeng's expression and said to Li Dongling with a hint of amusement, "Brother Li, if Old Liu is determined not to let Dongling Hi-Tech join the Computer Developers Association, what plans does Dongling Hi-Tech have?"

"We still have Brother Zhang here. With Founder Group here, Dongling Hi-Tech is not fighting alone in the computer industry!"

Li Dongling said to Zhang Yufeng with a smile. Zhang Yufeng was stunned for a moment after hearing that, then he shook his head and laughed a few times.

Although the Computer Developers Association formed by Boss Liu and Duan Yongji was annoying, Li Dongling was not afraid of it.

Those who benefit gather together will surely disperse due to benefit. The Computer Developers Association seems to be very powerful. Boss Liu wants to integrate the entire computer industry, and there is nothing wrong with targeting Dongling Hi-Tech. However, there are too many computer manufacturers joining, which becomes a flaw.

There are so many peers, and they are competing with each other. It is impossible that none of them are making money. If they are fighting desperately with Dongling Hi-Tech, as long as they can seize an opportunity to cause internal strife among them, the entire Computer Developers Association will basically fall apart.

"However, Brother Li, you still have to be careful. Founder is willing to be Dongling Hi-Tech's ally in the computer industry, but it cannot become a rival of the entire domestic computer industry and be criticized by everyone!" Zhang Yufeng stated. As the head of Founder, he is willing to support Dongling Hi-Tech, but he cannot support Dongling Hi-Tech at all costs and risk huge losses.

"It's impolite not to reciprocate. Boss Liu gave Dongling Hi-Tech a big gift. It's a bit unreasonable for Dongling Hi-Tech not to return the gift!"

After tasting the dish, Li Dongling said something to Ren Yuefeng in a calm and relaxed manner, but Zhang Yufeng, Yu Minhong, Lei Jun and others felt that his words were filled with murderous intent.

"I heard from the marketing department that there are many USB flash drive brands in China that have not obtained the patent authorization of Shenzhou Storage. They sell shoddy USB flash drives to users at low prices. Manager Ren, I think this matter needs to be managed. We can't let the interests of users be harmed by those counterfeit and pirated USB flash drives!"

To be honest, the most important thing about USB flash drives is creativity and patents. Dongling Hi-Tech broke through that layer of paper and launched the USB flash drive.

If you don't care about the patents of USB flash drives and import flash memory chips from manufacturers such as Toshiba, there will be a large number of manufacturers that can develop USB flash drives, but the memory size and quality of the USB flash drives they launch will vary.

The most important difference is that if it is authorized by Shenzhou Storage’s patent, it is called a genuine USB flash drive, which can be sold openly and no one can cause trouble. If it is not authorized by Shenzhou Storage, it is called a knockoff product, and whether to sue or not is entirely up to Shenzhou Storage’s mood...

In China, there are now many USB flash drive brands that are not authorized by Shenzhou Storage. After trying and finding that Shenzhou Storage "seems" not to care much about them, many USB flash drive brands have emerged, including the famous ones such as Patriot, SanDisk, Luwen Easy Disk, Lenovo and other brands.

These domestic USB flash drive brands have not obtained patent authorization from Shenzhou Storage, and their prices are lower than Shenzhou USB flash drives, and their sales are now quite good.

Lenovo in particular sells USB flash drives together with its own computers, and they are selling like hot cakes.

After hearing Li Dongling's words, everyone present could no longer fail to understand that the implication of Li Dongling's words was that he wanted to use the USB flash drive patent in his hands to deal with certain pirated USB flash drive manufacturers.

The country is not keeping a close eye on counterfeiting now, and sometimes there is no clear dividing line. Sometimes, no one knows how long a lawsuit will last, and it ends in vain.

However, it does not mean that no one can deal with those copycat companies. It just depends on how much they are willing to pay. If the copycat products affect the foreign exchange income, it will be even more unlucky!

Ren Yuefeng's expression changed several times. He knew that once the action was taken, Dongling Hi-Tech, Lenovo, Solitaire and others would become mortal enemies from then on, and there would be no possibility of easing.

However, thinking about it now, Lenovo is targeting Dongling Hi-Tech as its mortal enemy. If he shows any mercy at this time, it would be too soft-hearted!
"I understand that counterfeit USB flash drives do need to be dealt with. We cannot allow these shoddy counterfeit goods to circulate overseas. Otherwise, it will affect the reputation and image of domestic USB flash drives overseas, as well as the revenue of domestic USB flash drives overseas. They must be severely punished!" Ren Yuefeng said in a deep voice.

Zhang Yufeng opened his mouth. He could tell that Dongling Hi-Tech was going to take ruthless action this time to clean up the copycat USB flash drive company. In other words, it was using its name to specifically clean up a certain company and teach it a lesson!
But after opening his mouth, Zhang Yufeng closed it again. It was pointless for him to say more at this time, and it might make him unpopular with everyone. It was better for him to just stand by and watch.

Li Dongling's eyes swept across the faces of several people at the dinner table. He was not worried about the news leaking out. Everyone present had a vested interest in him and Dongling Hi-Tech. It would not be good for them to change their allegiance to Lenovo and offend Dongling Hi-Tech.

In addition, even if someone leaked the information, it would not have any impact. Dongling Hi-Tech is playing it fair and square. Unless Lenovo can really give up the profits brought by the USB flash drive, there is no solution to this trick.

Regardless of whether it is New Oriental, Founder or Kingsoft, if they betray Dongling Hi-Tech, Dongling Hi-Tech can take the opportunity to find the traitor. What Dongling Hi-Tech needs is a truly reliable ally, not a traitor who turns against them at the critical moment!

After a few rounds of drinks, Li Dongling turned to look at Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun, "Dongling Hi-Tech has a new project and hopes to cooperate with Kingsoft!"

When Qiu Bojun heard this, he didn't smile, but gave a helpless smile. "Boss Li, Kingsoft is running out of staff. We need to develop new WPS office software and cooperate with Lingyun Technology to develop domestic printing software. We are really short of manpower!"

"Developing office software is very expensive and time-consuming. Kingsoft needs other business income to survive!"

Li Dongling smiled and said, "Why not, Kingsoft set up another office in Hanxi, move into the Hanxi Software Industrial Park, and cooperate with Dongling Hi-Tech to develop software projects!"
