Coquettish Rebirth

Ni Guangnan, Luo Feng and other traditional "Xiaomi Company" teams were called to a meeting room in Huaxia Hi-Tech Building.The so-called Xiaomi Company refers to the "joint venture company" established by Jia Hongjian in order to poach people from Lianxiang by beating around the bush.Jia Hongjian contributed money, Lianxiang contributed people and technology, and then a few years later, Jia Hongjian and others bought out Lianxiang's shares with money, so even the people and technology were owned by Jia Hongjian and the others.

The beginning of such a company was Ni Guangnan, Luo Feng and the others who worked on program-controlled switches in Lianxiang Company.But they didn't tinker with servers at first. To be precise, they started tinkering with servers in 92, and then two years later, they were thrown to Huaxia Hi-Tech with their technology and information.In fact, this group of people was originally tinkering with computers!Don't forget, Mr. Ni Guangnan once participated in the design and manufacture of China's first fully self-developed electronic tube mainframe computer!Although there were a total of 250 technicians directly involved in the research and design at that time, and there were more than a dozen other units assisting in the supporting research and design, but this can be regarded as one of the 250 great talents in the field of electronic computers in New China, okay?

This old man was born in 39. Now he is 62 years old and has already passed the retirement age. Now he was "rehired" to Huaxia Hi-Tech as an old scientist!After the old man participated in the development of the first self-developed computer in New China, he began to study the Chinese character processing system, and then pioneered the vocabulary association function in Chinese character input!Later, in the early 80s, he went to the Canadian National Research Institute as a visiting researcher. After returning to China, he began to preside over the establishment of Lianxiang.Directly entered the company as the chief engineer!Then Lianxiang's first-generation computer was created by the old man's command!At that time, Liu Chuanzhi was just an administrative leader in the company, not a technical position!

It can be said that the old man recruited such a group of apprentices and grandchildren in 92 to study program-controlled switches and so on. Those who recruited were the most skilled people in the entire company of Lianxiang!And people with scientific research strength in related fields in the Chinese Academy of Sciences!It's just that Liu Chuanzhi didn't like the old man's technical guidance in the end, so he gave away the old man and his disciples and grandchildren, and changed their Lianxiang into a pure trader!Such an old man came with his disciples and grandchildren, so he couldn't handle a computer?joke!This group of people is basically the powerful group under Olsen in the Chinese version of ams!The old man took this group of people, not to mention hand-carved circuit boards, they can make a purely hand-made cpu with hand-carved circuit boards!Anyway, there are ultra-miniature transistor circuits inside the cpu!

That's right!Now it seems that the cpu is such a small square black block, in fact, there are tens of millions of transistors inside the small black block!To put it bluntly, it is a diode and a triode!Then connect them by microprinting the circuits on the chip, so that these tens of millions of transistors are connected.Then there is computing power!in the earliest days.Because there is no integrated circuit, there is no way to shrink transistors and circuits to such a small size, so a computer with poor computing power may be as big as a house!Now this is the progress of science and technology, and the integrated circuit technology is developed.In order to make the chip so small.And Mr. Ni and his group.Have them engrave the circuit board by hand and hand solder the transistors to the circuit board.They can all make such a huge cpu by hand!Isn't this ability shocking?Even the old man was involved in making mainframes back then, now let the old man lead a group of people to manually build a mainframe from the 60s and he can do it!Maybe the cpu can be made into a Pentium [-] level!Maybe he can even manually engrave circuit boards for memory and the like!

Isn't it easy to find this kind of power and his team to come over and get a notebook?To put it bluntly, the old man just left two people here.Then you can design a motherboard casually, and then find Foxconn or something to do it according to the design drawing, and it will be all right!

At this time, Mr. Ni Guangnan was still very curious as to why he and his subordinates had been called over. Before that, Jia Hongjian had said that he wanted to make a notebook, a notebook that ordinary people could afford.His old man knows about this, but isn't it just a broken notebook?What is the difficulty of this thing?Just find any of his disciples and grandchildren to design it!Isn't it the motherboard, cpu, graphics card?Isn't it just that various interfaces are reserved for connecting keyboards, hard disks, optical drives, floppy drives, and memory?Isn't it necessary to reserve an interface with the screen?How difficult are these things?Besides, there is more than one company making chipsets now!After choosing the cpu, find the chipset of another company to sell, and then design it yourself to see how the positioning is to decide whether to use Japanese solid capacitors, Taiwanese solid capacitors, or domestic ones, and then the motherboard is designed. Use your own LCD screen, add various cables and interfaces, purchase memory, hard disk, optical drive, etc., and then find a factory to make the case and keyboard. Isn’t it all right to install it together?Is it difficult?too easy!So Mr. Jia asked them to come, and said that it was related to the notebook. What is the purpose of this?

At this moment, Jia Hongjian coughed, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said, "Everyone, you should all know that our company also develops laptop computers?" After all, he saw everyone They all nodded, and then continued with satisfaction: "I know that for everyone's level, it is too easy to make a laptop computer. If it is easy, you can design it while sleeping..." Listening to Mr. Jia's praise of everyone's technology, Some young disciples and grandchildren couldn't help laughing, and some older ones had their mouths curled up slightly.But at this moment, I only heard Jia Hongjian change the subject, "But I have been thinking that I will enter the WTO soon. After entering the WTO, the US computer manufacturers such as Hewlett-Packard and IBM will impose tariffs on their products. But it started to drop all the way. Even when they come to our country to start in the future, they will make full use of the cheap labor force in our country. When we fight with them, should we only rely on what we agreed to earn only 5% of the net profit to compete? "

His rhetorical question stunned everyone.Why are you stunned?Because until now, their understanding of the computer industry is that our Chinese company has no core technology. Of course, foreign companies such as Dell do not have core technology now. To put it bluntly, everyone is just playing and assembling. !In the case of almost the same incoming materials, or even the same labor cost, how to compete with others?Without additional technology, wouldn't it just be cheaper to sell?Just like Liu Chuanzhi, we can only make the chassis steel plate thinner and thinner, from 1 mm thick steel plate to 0.8 mm steel plate, and then to 0.5 mm steel plate, and the steel plate is so thin Those old men punched hard on the side of the case, and they could deform the steel plate of the case inside!This is a steel plate!So everyone can't figure out what Jia Hongjian means. What else can we do besides doing this?Can't we just compete on cheap?Didn't Mr. Jia also say that you want to make a notebook that everyone can use?Doesn't this mean to make it cheap?So why does it seem like you don't want to do cheap ones now?

Just when everyone was puzzled, Jia Hongjian said, "Are we going to be forced by foreign manufacturers to cut prices? Did you find out? On Music Pods, our Chinese brand is famous all over the world. It is very popular! In the past two years, it has entered Japan and Europe one after another, and the sales are quite hot! Even the products that copied our appearance gradually appeared in the market! Why can we be unparalleled in the music pods? Let foreigners have to copy ours, but in the field of notebook computers, we have to be low-key and cheap to compete? I don’t accept it! To put it bluntly, I think our Chinese domestic brands, I think our Huaxia Hi-Tech brand is completely It can be as good as the foreign devil's brand! Are we Chinese inferior? Do we have to make all kinds of low-end products that others don't like? Yes, I said that we only earn 5% of the profit, but only 5% profit, this does not mean that the laptops made by us Chinese are just a patchwork of cheap goods! Who said that our laptops priced at 5000 yuan can’t be better than foreign devils’ 7000 yuan? The configuration is almost the same, so why do consumers feel that they are foreign to us?"

Having said this, Jia Hongjian did not wait for everyone's reaction, and continued on his own: "In my opinion, in our country's market, the common people are a bit adoring foreigners. I even admit that I am a bit xenophobic. I bought foreign products at the same price and I just think they can be more foreign! Why is this? I think it is because our domestic manufacturers are not up to date! Why can’t the details and workmanship be better in all aspects? Isn’t it? Why can’t the shape design be more attractive? Why can’t we find a way to make the common people feel more comfortable? So I think the common people in our country are the best common people. Although they worship foreigners, as long as they Let’s not underestimate ourselves, let’s regard ourselves as the world’s top manufacturer to make products, and then the price will drop, the common people will definitely pursue us, not foreign devils! So such a notebook, we want to turn over domestic products Fight! Let the common people in our country know that we are still striving for self-improvement, and we are working very hard to meet the international first-line standards. I believe that the common people will give us the same praise and evaluation as foreign manufacturers, what do you think?"

"En... makes sense..." Old Master Ni and his disciples and grandchildren in the conference room, although they said so, subconsciously glanced at the people around them.Although what Jia Hongjian said was very good and impassioned, why did they seem to be a little unclear what Mr. Jia meant?Demand yourself at the international first-line level?No problem, but as for mobilizing the masses to gather everyone?So... what is the central idea?

Of course, Jia Hongjian didn't just talk about this matter, he was going to talk about his "central idea" next! (To be continued..)
