Reborn Resource Tycoon

5 Chapter Seventy Three Years Later
In Fang Mingyuan's eyes, the world in [-] was turbulent. On January [-]st, Czechoslovakia officially split into two countries, Czechoslovakia and Slovakia.In January, President Bush Sr., who won the Gulf War, signed the second strategic arms reduction treaty with Boris Yeltsin.

The world was wonderful in [-]. In this year, President William Jefferson Clinton left a strong mark in the history of the United States. He was the first president of the United States born after the Second World War. , the second president to be impeached by Congress, the youngest U.S. president after Theodore Roosevelt and John Kennedy, and the only Democratic president to be re-elected after Franklin Roosevelt.Of course, it was also an American president who left a deep impression on Fang Mingyuan's memory.

Not only because the sex scandal between Clinton and White House female intern Monica Lewinsky was later exposed by the American media, and Clinton was therefore investigated by the judicial department.The Republicans also proposed an impeachment bill in Congress, but it was ultimately rejected.This is the famous "zipper door" case, at least he looks pleasing to the eye than Bush and that Obama.

Also in this year, the first dedicated line for Huaxia access (look at), the 64k dedicated line that the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences rented an international satellite from att to connect to the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in the United States was officially opened, which marks that Huaxia has also begun to enter the Internet age.This made Fang Mingyuan, who had been waiting for many years, feel sincerely happy.He's even happier than Cameron's "True Lies" was a box office hit.

Although, compared with the broadband or optical fiber Internet access in the previous life, the speed of the 64k dedicated line is like a snail crawling. Let alone watching movies, it takes a long time to wait for a few pictures.But this is like a sparrow that cannot forget its majestic soaring into the sky in the future just because it sees the clumsy flight of a kitten.Although, Fang Mingyuan never really enjoyed the fun of going to the world at high speed in his previous life. The most profitable company, it can at least be ranked in the top ten.Of course, if it were not for several of its siblings, its ranking might be even higher.

In this year, Intel Corporation officially released the Pentium (Pentium) processor, which made Fang Mingyuan feel that he finally had a computer that he could barely accept. Before that, Lin Lian and the others were very strange. Although Fang Mingyuan encouraged people in the company to learn to use high-tech products such as computers, he never used them himself.But in the meeting with Bill Gates, President of Microsoft, he seemed so confident.

"Rongrong, how far has Microsoft's Windows system progressed? When will it be released for sale?" Fang Mingyuan, who is already 1.7 meters tall and has a thin beard on his lips, looked at the report in his hand and asked with a frown. road.At the end of 5.00, under Cameron's introduction, Fang Mingyuan came into contact with Microsoft President Bill Gates, and in the second year, successfully acquired 14.00% of Microsoft's equity. In the following two years, Fang Mingyuan He has been absorbing Microsoft's stock, and now, he is the third largest shareholder in Microsoft after President Bill Gates and Paul Allen, holding nearly 93% of Microsoft's shares.Under his suggestion and insistence, Microsoft's Windows system will be released ahead of schedule.Although, Fang Mingyuan always felt that win[-] didn't sound so pleasant to his ears.

After Lin Rong graduated from university last year, she replaced Lin Lian and became Fang Mingyuan's assistant.And Lin Lian, together with Aso Xiangyue, took on the important task of overseas development of the Fang family's industry.In charge of huge overseas funds.The disintegration of the Soviet Union caused Fang Mingyuan's huge investment in advance to rise sharply, and the value of the resources he purchased in Russia has doubled now.It's just that all of these are like icebergs in the north and south poles, only showing a corner in the eyes of the world.Even Mr. Fang and Su Huandong don't know how much assets the Fang family has now.

"The initial test has been completed. Microsoft's development department thinks that it's best to go on sale at Christmas, so that they can have more time to test the software." Lin Rong replied immediately.Although Fang Mingyuan did not hold any administrative position in Microsoft Corporation, as the third largest shareholder of Microsoft Corporation and a director of the company, of course he had the right to know the working progress of the company.Especially the win93 system was developed under his proposal.

"Christmas?" Fang Mingyuan scratched his head. It's only July, and it's almost half a year for testing, which is not a short time.But he changed his mind. The emergence of the Windows system can be said to be an epoch-making change for computer users, and Microsoft's system has always been famous for its many patches. Do more tests to ensure that there are fewer bugs after it is released. It's also worth it. Now that Microsoft is barely considered its own company, it's better to be less scolded.

Seeing Fang Mingyuan stretched and stood up from the desk, Lin Rong understood that Fang Mingyuan had come to an end for the time being and had to rest for a while.

"Mingyuan, why do you think Intel has called the new processor 486 instead of 586, and insisted on calling it Pentium?" Lin Rong asked curiously.In her opinion, such a naming is a matter of course.

"Hey, it's not about money." Anyone else might not necessarily understand Intel's intention, but Fang Mingyuan, who has experienced the era of network information explosion in his previous life, knows it clearly in his heart.

The sales of 80486 have been a great success all over the world, and Intel, which has earned a huge amount of dollars, launched a new generation of high-performance processors-Pentium in [-].However, due to the increasingly fierce competition in the world computer market, Intel Corporation felt that AMD and other companies could no longer use the same name to grab their own jobs, so they proposed trademark registration, but because it is not legal in the United States It is allowed to register with Arabic numerals, so Intel Corporation played a trick and used Latin to register trademarks. "Pentium" means "five" in Latin.Due to the emphasis on the Chinese market, Intel also gave it a very nice Chinese name - Pentium.

"So that's how it is." Lin Rong suddenly realized, "Intel doesn't want other companies to get along with them."

"That's the reason," Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Huh?" Fang Mingyuan suddenly remembered, as if he remembered that Intel's early Pentium processor had a problem with the floating-point unit, and in a few cases, it would reduce the accuracy of the processor's division operation.This defect was discovered later, and it was spread uproar, which caused Intel to lose face all over the world and had to establish a recall plan to recover the problematic processor.The loss was heavy, and more importantly, it gave competitors amd a chance to catch up.

This is a rare opportunity. If this defect can be discovered first, it will be possible to negotiate with Intel.There is now a computer manufacturing company under Fang Mingyuan's name, but it is not solely owned by the Fang family, but a joint investment and establishment by the Su family, Guo family, Mei family and other families. Fang Mingyuan only holds 30.00% of it …[-] shares, and the rest of the shares were divided among others.The shares of the Su family were paid by Fang Mingyuan without interest. In the future, the company will make profits and return them to Fang Mingyuan from the dividends.

Although, Fang Mingyuan also knows that China's future computer market will be quite considerable, just think about the Lenovo in the previous life to know how considerable the profits here are.But Fang Mingyuan believed that no matter how impressive its profits were, in the final analysis, it was still just an assembly company. It just purchased computer parts from various companies and selected the most suitable ones for assembly.Instead of working hard on this, it is better to study the production of motherboards, graphics cards, and optical drives. This is of more practical value for the improvement of China's manufacturing level.

The reason why Fang Mingyuan decided to establish this company was to get a share of the huge market on the one hand, and on the other hand, he valued this method to more closely link the interests of the few families he had made friends with. .In China, it is difficult to do business without anyone in the officialdom, so even if he hates it, he still has to do it.At any rate, through this method, there will be fewer leather bag companies that harm the market.Moreover, Fang Mingyuan also hopes that through this method, these high-ranking officials' children will realize that they can earn money by doing business in a serious manner.
"Rongrong, please contact James and ask him to buy several newest Pentium processors in the United States, let the people in the company perform floating-point calculations and test their performance, especially the accuracy of his division must be tested repeatedly. Make sure everything is safe." Fang Mingyuan said immediately, although Intel has sold the Pentium processor to the outside world, it will take some time to enter China, and this testing work can only be handed over to Cameron for the time being.Fortunately, in the past few years, the special effects company jointly invested by Fang Mingyuan and him has achieved good returns, and the company has a large number of computers. It is not difficult for them to do this kind of work.

Although, Fang Mingyuan remembered that it took quite a long time for this defect to be discovered, it seemed that it took a full year to be discovered, but such a rare opportunity to rip off Intel Corporation, he was unwilling to let go of the rebirth of his little butterfly , has caused a small shift in many things in the world, who can guarantee that this defect will still be discovered in the original time?
