Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 901 The circle that everyone understands in the business school
……

Although China has not yet set up a "Golden Week" holiday aimed at promoting the consumer economy, May [-] Labor Day has always been an important public holiday for the whole people. The five-day COMDEX Yanjing Exhibition was arranged during this time period. In order to maximize the accumulation of popularity.

COMDEX, which has a history of nearly 20 years, has been to Asia several times before, but without exception, it has chosen to settle in Tokyo. This year, it moved to Yanjing, which is not only the first time to come to China, but also the second in Asia. site.

The reason is that COMDEX, which is entirely driven by commercial companies, has a sharp nose and is the most sensitive to interests. It used to be the second largest IT consumer market in the world, but now China is an emerging IT consumer market. Space and The prospect is so big that the whole world is dumbfounded.

From the perspective of ordinary people, the most impressive technological application may be the vigorous development of the telecommunications industry, which has blossomed everywhere, almost to the point where you can find a public phone in any small store in the county below.

In addition to enjoying the convenience of the traditional function of the telecommunications industry, ordinary people also enjoy additional services such as telephone inquiry of college entrance examination scores.

Behind these situations, it is Tang IT who has fixed a series of technologies including ADSL in advance, so that the development of China's telecommunications industry has not been wasted in "pit" such as ISDN, and it is basically in place in one step. If you lose money, you can't buy it.

To give another example, cable TV is also developing rapidly, and it has also radiated to ordinary users at the city and county level.

And there are more articles to be done here - you know, although in China, personal computers are still rare for ordinary families, but TVs are definitely considered standard configuration. On this basis, further cooperation with cable TV networks and set-top boxes may be able to lead an Internet development path with Chinese characteristics in advance.

Therefore, the current China IT consumer market has begun to make those large international companies even more enthusiastic - and COMDEX Yanjing Exhibition has naturally received their enthusiastic support.

At the same time, there is no doubt that the Chinese people's enthusiasm and ambition for advanced technology will explode with a little guidance.

Under the combined effect of such favorable conditions, COMDEX Yanjing Exhibition has become the focus of Chinese media's recent attention.

……

After the richest man arrived in China, he took a short rest and went straight to the China International Exhibition Center located at the northeast corner of the Third Ring Road the next day to attend the opening ceremony of COMDEX Yanjing Exhibition.

This exhibition hall, which was rated as the top ten buildings in Yanjing in the 1980s, completed the first phase of the project in October 1985 in less than two years; Exhibition - Asia Pacific International Trade Fair.

In June 1994, the construction of the main pavilion of the China International Exhibition Center was completed, and the fifth Asia-Pacific International Trade Fair was held here in the same year.

Today, the China International Exhibition Center has integrated exhibitions, conferences, accommodation and entertainment, with various exhibition halls, lecture halls, conference rooms, negotiation rooms, Chinese and Western restaurants, bars, dance halls, tennis courts, gymnasiums, etc.; Plant quarantine, Sinotrans, engineering construction units, etc. are also working on site, and have the conditions to hold and receive various types of comprehensive and professional exhibitions, expositions and conferences - COMDEX Yanjing Exhibition has received very thoughtful support hospitality.

Tang Huan met many important leaders of the national ministries and commissions here, and it was his first contact with officials in China this year.

It is entirely conceivable that the speech at the opening ceremony is a necessary but somewhat cumbersome link. When it was the richest man's turn to deliver a speech, he tried to be as concise as possible.

……

"I can say without humility that I have been paying attention to the Chinese market for a long time and have a very deep understanding of its growth, current situation, prospects, etc. Therefore, I have a definite conclusion here - if anyone ignores In this huge market, it is really out of date.”

"I have always insisted on a win-win situation in business. I took a quick walk in the exhibition hall just now and found many Chinese companies. This allowed me to see opportunities for wider and deeper cooperation."

"The Internet is currently developing in full swing, and the information age is around us. I hope everyone can use the platform of this COMDEX Yanjing exhibition to communicate more, don't miss the opportunity, and welcome the new millennium with a better attitude."

"I wish this COMDEX Yanjing exhibition a perfect success! Thank you everyone!"

……

The applause won by the richest man was obviously much warmer.The eyes of some entrepreneurs are even more eager.

To be honest, there are not many pure-blooded IT companies in China at this stage—the forerunners who made a name for themselves in Zhongguancun in the early years either fell away; There are only a handful of them—but if the circle of home appliances is pulled over, the momentum can be called spectacular.

Of course, not everyone can take advantage of IT. At least color TVs account for a considerable proportion of the product line, and at the same time, it is better to be involved in communication products such as telephones.

The connecting hub of the two aspects, in addition to the new model of "television-set-top box-cable network-Internet" which is still in operation and whose final results are unpredictable, there are also traditional home TV game consoles, which are getting better and better. VCD and so on.

Tang IT designed this kind of alternative business development route, which naturally fully considered various restrictive factors including national conditions, and the purpose was to be grounded.

In the product release process that has long been hyped and booming, Mr. Richest Man, who personally presided over it, implemented this unique idea.

The first grand debut is naturally the world's first real 64-bit microprocessor, rather than the previous one that was mixed with two 32-bit CPUs. It is by far the most powerful home TV game console. ——The fourth generation of Xiaobawang game console.

The densely packed guns and short cannons in the hands of the reporters are pointing at the big screen in the exhibition area where the promotional film is being played.

This beautifully produced video takes the form of a historical review.

……

The little Tyrannosaurus rex born in 1979, with the pattern on its body is the number "8", walking around unsteadily, with a naive look.

As the number "8" evolves into the number "16", then to the number "32", until the number "1996" in 64, it symbolizes the giant Tyrannosaurus Rex of the four generations of Little Overlord game consoles, with its head raised and roaring, and the animals under its feet panicked. I had to run away, the domineering arrogance of who I am, through the sound that is not inferior to the theater equipment, exploded in everyone's ears, and the atmosphere of the scene exploded.

Tang Huan, who stepped onto the stage slowly, waited for everyone to calm down after being a little excited, then pointed to the black Xiaobawang game console on display, and said enthusiastically: "In order for such a small box to provide the most powerful Gaming performance and the most perfect user experience, the fourth-generation Xiaobawang game console integrates the world's top technology to create a new generation of home entertainment center."

"In addition to the lifelike game effects, the fourth generation of Xiaobawang game consoles also support a new generation of digital video standards-DVD, especially can be connected to Battle.net to provide online functions-from now on, the Xiaobawang game console's Players, at home, can happily wander in a wider entertainment world with their relatives and friends in other places, as well as like-minded people with similar hobbies around the world."

……

In fact, Mr. Richest has a clear mind. Regardless of everyone’s enthusiasm, the standard version of the fourth-generation Xiaobawang game console, which is priced at US$399.99 in North America, has limited performance in the Chinese market.

Gein, it is completely conceivable that ordinary people, who are the main consumers, find it difficult to accept that they spend thousands of dollars just to play games. It is better to add more money and buy an individual that can take into account study and work. Where's the computer?

The reason why the fourth-generation Xiaobawang game console was officially released at the COMDEX Yanjing Exhibition is mainly to show its attitude and support for the Chinese market.

In fact, as far as the whole brand is concerned, the foundation of the Xiaobawang game console in the Chinese market is still quite deep-the generation of Xiaobawang game console that has been localized for a long time, this old antique belonging to the 8-bit era, has the following The most extensive user groups including counties, towns and villages.

This is due to the easily affordable price and a series of operations under the banner of education, which has caught the parents' mentality of "for the children", which can be described as a very flattering Chinese characteristic.

In a positive sense, the 8-bit first-generation Xiaobawang game console, combined with the educational software package that comes with it, has played a role in popularizing some technological concepts including computers at the most basic level and bridging the knowledge gap.

Therefore, everyone's enthusiasm for the fourth-generation Xiaobawang game console is not fake, after all, this brand is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

If the policy level allows it, then as people's living standards further improve, it may not take a few years for the fourth generation of Xiaobawang game consoles to have gratifying market returns.

……

Compared with the 64-bit fourth-generation Xiaobawang game console that debuted in Balin Tiantian, the atmosphere of the USB flash drive conference is very artistic - a model dressed in a white-collar dress, holding a delicate and compact USB flash drive in Chinese red color with slender fingers , which is pleasing to the eye.

The USB flash drive with a clear ownership of the patent comes to you at this time, thanks to three points:

[-]. Flash_Memory - The reading and writing life, production scale efficiency and other indicators of the flash memory storage medium have met the requirements;

Second, the USB interface has become a synonym for the industry with Fangyuan personal computer, and it has become a standard configuration;
Third, the vigorous development of RISC microprocessors has finally provided a practical solution for the storage device controller necessary for USB flash drives, that is, the main control - this is particularly important.

10 people can build a house in 10 days, but it does not mean that 1000 people can build a house in only two or three hours.

In the same way, it is too much to take for granted that if you pile up flash memory at any cost, the USB flash drive can be born naturally-if this is the case, then the solid state drive can also meet the world.

The richest man took the thumb-sized USB flash drive and plugged it into the USB interface of Fangyuan’s laptop. The operating system StudioOS directly recognized the device; the green indicator light of the USB flash drive flashed a few times and then stayed on; its mass production The readme file written at the time is also automatically opened - it can be said to be a vivid demonstration of "plug and play".

Tang IT smiled slightly and introduced: "As we all know, the mobile storage solutions for personal computers at this stage include floppy disks with capacities of 1.44MB, 1.68MB, and 2.88MB; ZIP disks with capacities from tens of MB to hundreds of MB; and 700MB capacity. left and right CD discs, and next-generation DVD discs with capacities of several gigabytes."

"Compared to these mobile storage solutions based on 'magnetic' or 'optical' principles, our new USB flash drive, similar to game cassettes, uses semiconductor memory chips, but the difference is that this new generation of semiconductor memory chips It also supports write operations, and it is not unimaginable to upgrade the capacity from the current 16MB and 32MB to the future GB calculation; the access speed can directly benefit from the update of the USB interface specification.”

Having said that, the richest man gestured to the staff on the side, and then continued: "Well, now let's see with our own eyes, the actual reading and writing performance of the U disk is different from that of the traditional mobile storage solution." In comparison, where is the excellence?"

The results of this demonstration do not need to be described too much - the performance of the U disk directly crushed the floppy ZIP disk and the buzzing CD during operation countless times.

Tang IT finally picked up the USB flash drive and showed it: "Like the floppy ZIP disk, the USB flash drive also has a write protection switch to prevent misuse or virus damage, and it also supports encryption software to provide a higher level of data security. Protect."

……

The effect of these cheers for COMDEX coming to China for the first time is naturally very obvious, firmly attracting the attention of media from all over the world.

For example, some commented that after the official launch of the fourth-generation Xiaobawang game console, other home game consoles can only tremble; some predicted that the U disk will end the decades-old floppy disk...

The richest man ignored these noisy sounds, which were expected anyway. He then focused on the forum held at the same time in the lecture hall of the China International Exhibition Center.

The topic of Tang IT is mainly "TV + set-top box + Internet" with a bit of deceit, and he extended an invitation to the Chinese entrepreneurs attending the meeting, "The Wuyue Business School I donated to build will be the first one this year. It’s the first time for an MBA class. If you want to broaden your business horizons, you might as well take the time to listen to it.”
