Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

The new generation of Big Black Fish and the 10,000-port programmable switching system are in great momentum in the military and technological fields, laying the foundation for a new round of leading advantages for Southeast University.

However, in addition to these two, the beginning of the information revolution was also initiated early by Ren Zhong. Starting from the first 1955 chip in October 10, the efforts of the University of Tokyo in computers gave birth to the personal computer. After the technology was spread at the Global Computer Conference, after nearly a year of promotion, a revolution in the field of personal computers was quietly taking place in North America and Europe.

Thanks to the efforts of many companies, personal computers have become popular, resulting in a surge in demand for personal computers among consumers in the two major markets of North America and Europe. Dozens of new personal computer brands have been created in less than a year. After returning from the World Computer Conference, manufacturers who participated in it launched various models of personal computers based on the fool-proof kits provided by Dongda, regardless of their ability or not. The difference lies in the difference from the public version, but you can also OEM your own brand at Dongda without changing anything, and assemble and sell the products after purchasing various components, which does not affect the launch of the products. Naturally, the prices vary, making the entry level of personal computers a popular level among the major powers. This means that personal computers are affordable and can officially enter households, ushering in a new era of informatization faster and more violently than the main world.

In less than a year after the World Computer Conference, these personal computer brands achieved annual sales of millions in both continents, becoming the new favorites of electronic products in the market and starting the first wave of hot sales of personal computers.

With the widespread use of personal computers in office environments, people began to realize the great convenience it brought.

With the continuous deepening of applications, the first wave of personal computer craze did not fade away as some experts predicted. Instead, it became more prosperous due to the launch of new software and the improvement of office equipment.

Large companies continue to develop new office software, fax machines, printers and other equipment that are compatible with the standards of Dongda personal computers and can be easily connected for use, which greatly expands the functions of personal computers in office and entertainment, and even realizes paperless office to some extent, greatly improving the office environment.

Urban white-collar workers began to realize that personal computers would become an indispensable tool in their daily work.

It was with such market insight that Vision, a leading technology company, quickly divided its personal computer product line into two categories: home and business, and developed two personal computer products with customized features.

The launch of the Vision Workstation (vertical chassis) and Vision Thinkstation (horizontal chassis) personal computers quickly met the main needs of the market. These two computers were immediately sold out after advertising promotion. Vision also thoughtfully provided users with a concise and practical operation manual and an operation video tape to help users get started faster.

Vision Workstation was priced at $2999 and was equipped with a 15-inch color VGA monitor, which was rare at the time. For corporate users, using office suites freed them from traditional handwritten documents and spreadsheets and brought them unprecedented convenience. The ability to modify and reuse documents at will increased office work efficiency several times.

Vision Workstation quickly became the best-selling business PC on the market, occupying more than 70% of the market share and becoming Vision's first single product with annual sales exceeding $10 billion. This achievement not only made the market crazy, but also broke the record of $10 billion in sales that was previously achieved only by the automotive industry and a few electronic products.

The launch of Vision Thinkstation further consolidated Vision's leading position in the personal computer market, and its stock price rose by 50%. The financial community's valuation of Vision's personal computer business exceeded US$3 billion in three years, and some analysts even believed that it would exceed US$50 billion. This valuation is not only a high recognition of the personal computer market, but also an affirmation of Vision's leading advantage in the personal computer field.

The market responded quickly. Vision's competitors began to feel the pressure and had to re-examine their product lines and market strategies. Some companies began to increase their R&D investment, trying to catch up through technological innovation. Others began to seek partners, hoping to enhance their market competitiveness through mergers or acquisitions. Still others began to explore new market segments, trying to find their own foothold in specific market segments.

In this competition, some traditional large electronics companies have also begun to transform and make personal computers an important part of their product lines. They use their brand advantages and channel resources to quickly occupy market share. At the same time, they are also innovating in software and services to provide more comprehensive solutions to meet the needs of different users.

As market competition intensifies, consumers have become the biggest beneficiaries. They can buy personal computers with better performance at lower prices and enjoy more complete after-sales services. There are more and more brands and models of personal computers on the market, and consumers can choose the most suitable product according to their needs and budget.

The success of Vision also attracted a lot of venture capital into the personal computer field. Many start-ups have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, trying to get a share of the personal computer market with their innovative ideas and products. Some of these start-ups have become the new darlings of the market with their unique products and innovative business models.

As the PC market continues to expand, the related industry chain has also developed rapidly. From chip manufacturers to display suppliers, from operating system developers to application software providers, the entire industry chain is busy meeting market demand. The development of these companies has further promoted technological innovation and industrial upgrading, forming a virtuous circle.

In this feast of the personal computer market, Vision is undoubtedly the brightest and biggest winner in the North American market at this stage. Even old brands like MBI and GE have to admit defeat, because they do not have the golden finger of Ren Zhong behind them.

Of course, it is a different picture in Europe. Goldenstar from the foggy city is also shining brightly. Coincidentally, like Vision, it is focusing on both business and home use. With John Bull as its base, it is expanding across the entire European continent in great strides. However, in Europe itself, there are also many latent companies that are flourishing and reaping the rewards in their own countries, seizing the first wave of the personal computer craze.

After all, the European market is bulky and not as unified as the North American market. Although Goldenstar's products are not inferior to Vision's products, they are still a little behind in market capture because there is no market unification in Europe.

However, Goldenstar still firmly held the title of the largest PC giant in Europe, and the proud nobles of the British Empire bought Goldenstar's stocks crazily to show their support. Due to their excessive enthusiasm, they directly issued another 1 million shares of Goldenstar, pushing the total market value to an unprecedented height of 150 billion pounds! It has become a well-deserved star in the European technology industry.

Most of the funds raised will be invested in the development of software and personal computer peripherals. Ren Zhong lets Dongda control the operating system, but in terms of application software, Ren Zhong cannot let the whole world wait for Dongda's software people to meet it, and this type of software itself has many localized requirements, and it is difficult to complete the customization of their needs in the far east. Coupled with the successful experience of the main world, it is best to blossom in this area, so that the world can continuously develop various applications around Dongda's current operating system, and finally add bricks and tiles to the personal computer road opened up by Dongda, and continuously extend the functions of personal computers to form an ecosystem, and finally make this ecosystem so large that even the Western powers cannot subvert it.

"I didn't expect Vision Company to do so well and sell so many computers. If this market was exported by our Dongda University, it would have supported a lot of people," said Staff Officer Ye a little depressed. There were so many computer companies in the country that were close to the water and got the moon first, but they did not seize the opportunity to achieve such brilliant sales performance as Vision. Seeing thousands of job opportunities missed, Staff Officer Ye was really envious.

"Staff Officer Ye, this is different. Vision has already established its own brand value in the past. In addition, the functional design and appearance design of this personal computer perfectly meet the users' dreams of what a personal computer should be like. This can extend and even enhance the influence of the Vision brand. Coupled with their stronger market purchasing power, the sales of these products will be booming." Ren Zhong shook his head and smiled. He had thought about eating alone, but the experience of the two worlds made Ren Zhong know that this was unlikely.

"Their economic development is much ahead of ours. Our market potential cannot be compared with theirs on the current economic basis. Frankly speaking, personal computers are already widely available in middle-class families in Western powers. It is a bit difficult for them to buy a personal computer, but it is not unaffordable. In this regard, we at Dongda have no way out. Among our richest urban dual-income families, there may not be one in a hundred who has the potential to buy a personal computer. In this regard, our market is at least an order of magnitude behind others.

However, even if the purchasing power of Western powers reaches the level of popularizing personal computers, if we do not open up standards to allow them to develop in their own countries, we will not be able to have the devastating market penetration capabilities that we have now.

Because the sales of our products in the major powers are still subject to various restrictions, their capital forces will definitely not let us Dongda enjoy such a big piece of cake alone. Therefore, instead of slowly fighting with them in this field and eventually missing the opportunity for our large-scale shipments, it is better to make a move in one fell swoop and make concessions, and then directly become the unshakable leader of this ecosystem by selling core components.

You should know that most of the core components of these computers sold are produced by us at Dongda. We earn at least thousands of US dollars for each computer. We are the real winners in this wave.

Now our chip company Dongxin Technology produces tens of millions of chips a year, and the manufacturing and research systems of production lines and back-end production equipment have all been driven up. Our previous investment in the chip industry has been basically recovered in the past year. If we look at the big picture, we have firmly grasped the leading position at this time when informatization and personal computers are starting up."

Ren Zhong and Staff Officer Ye carefully analyzed the pros and cons of this matter to prevent the higher-ups from wavering in this regard. You know, the situation is very good now, even if the Qianlong who stays outside makes a fortune, he will have to give a large part of the profit to the capital.

But Ren Zhong knew it was worth it.

In this huge wave of informatization, several trillion-dollar companies will be born in the future, but the Western powers will never allow these trillion-dollar companies to make money in the East!

The benefits are so great that they would rather build a high wall against foreign trade than not keep this market in their own hands.

It is for this reason that Ren Zhong launched the Qianlong Plan for ultra-long-term development.

The original intention of the Qianlong Plan is to use one's own people who secretly infiltrate the deepest part of the opponent to reap the fattest piece. Even if only part of this piece of cake is distributed to those capital predators through listing, it is also a very cost-effective deal.

Relying on this strategy, Vision and Goldenstar, under the guidance of Ren Zhong, have now become the brightest stars in the West, and have in fact become the leaders of the technological wave among Western powers.

The world-renowned technology companies such as Simon, Philips, STMicroelectronics, and MBI, which were originally developing rapidly in the main world in the technological wave, are now being shattered by the seeds developed by the Vision, Goldenstar and other potential dragon plans.

Up to now, these giants in the main world have not found their own development rhythm.

Even when it comes to electronic products like televisions, VCRs, and VCRs, they are also following suit, but in terms of technology they are always one or even two steps behind companies like Vision and Goldenstar.

For example, in the field of radios, they had just mastered the transistor radio, and Goldenstar had already completed a myriad of new models of portable radios, entering the era of personal carry-on radios.

Even in the areas of refrigerators, microwave ovens, and washing machines, where these products were once leading, the seed companies launched by the Dongda Qianlong Project are now flourishing in Europe, launching new products that are at least one generation ahead of these big companies and are beginning to impact the market!
These so-called new technologies in the world of Bright Sword have been mature in the main world for seventy or eighty years. After being transported by Ren Zhong, the corresponding home appliance product R&D centers of Dongda University will complete the introduction and digestion of the technology, and then a part of them will be transferred to the seed players of the Qianlong Plan to bear fruit in the Western powers. Of course, the same products will basically emerge in Dongda University to respond.

It seems that the East and the West are catching up in technological innovation in these areas, but in fact, they are fighting each other, which has greatly dampened the development potential of the real lineage of Western powers. When the market was eaten up by the seeds of the Eastern University Qianlong Project, the Western powers' original big technology companies that made a lot of money lost a lot of market. The huge loss of profits directly damaged their ability to invest in scientific and technological research and development, and thus reduced their development speed. (End of this chapter)
