I Created An Internet Empire

The domestic joint box company was established in 1984. At that time, 11 founders had only 200,000 yuan of dragon coins in their hands.

Although for now, 200,000 yuan is not a particularly large amount of money.

But in the 1980s, 200,000 yuan of Dragon National Currency was already a huge sum of money.

In the era of Chen Fan's previous life in 2020, 200,000 yuan at that time was even more valuable than 500, or even 50 million!

At that time, it was a bold attempt to have this huge sum of money to develop the front-end of Longguo's computer technology, and it was also a kind of filling for the blank market of Longguo's technology.

However, in fact, it was done by them.

With a research fund of 200,000 yuan, under the hard work of their eleven founders, the core technology has been continuously innovated, and various chips and motherboards have also appeared.

So, with their in-depth research, until 1993, they launched the first domestic self-developed and designed microcomputer - that is, the personal computer: the 586 computer.

At that time, this was a big sensation. With the rapid changes in technology, there will always be some contemporary things that people are familiar with.

It took several years for the header company to research it. Although some accessories are still imported from abroad, it is already a very exciting thing to be able to develop a personal computer in China.

The computer was developed and received a strong response from the market.

Since the sale of the first computer, every year, the sales data of the company has been continuously improved, 500,000 units, 1 million units, 2 million units.

Until 1996, the sales data exceeded 3 million units!

And the year of 1997 has only passed halfway, and it is only July, and the data has a tendency to surpass last year.

This rapid increase, the shipments of this kind of hardware, at that time, this was a very terrifying sales data!

Three or four million units! So many sales in a year. And at that time, research and development was expensive, and the cost of various hardware facilities was high.

In that era, a computer, plus a genuine win system, was almost worth 10,000 yuan as a base, and a top-level configuration was around 20,000 yuan.

Of course, at the time, it was still not considered an enterprise-level server hardware configuration.

But even so, if you take a computer for 10,000 yuan, how much money can you make with three million computers? ! What's more, they are customers who have accumulated more than one year.

Every year, various cooperation, after-sales, plus other messy profits, sales of more than one billion a year, there is no problem at all.

You must know that in the future, the net profit and net sales of the Container Group in 2020 will be more than 400 billion!

Although in later generations, the joint box company was criticized by countless people for having the strongest after-sales service and the most rubbish hardware facilities.

But to be honest, at that time, the header company occupied one-third of the Longguo market!

After all, at that time, there were not many companies that could independently make computers.

Enterprises that can completely form a pipeline-style development behavior are even more pitiful.

Take Chen Fan's Red Star Technology Co., Ltd. as an example.

Chen Fan has more than 20 years of rebirth memories, plus he is a super talented full stack engineer.

Under this circumstance, he also has a nearly perfect and clear Red Star operating system, which will allow him to compete with the domestic capital of a soft company within half a year.

If you want him to start from scratch and recompile the code of the Red Star operating system bit by bit, it will take a lot of time.

The core code of a computer operating system has at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of lines.

Not to mention the total amount of code.

1 G-sized program, how large the amount of code will be? Not to mention forming a system to complete the operation.

It's not like a game.

The games of later generations, such as mobile games, such as games like Lua Lu, all have a capacity of several gigabytes, or more than a dozen gigabytes.

Why is the size of their game data larger than the operating system?

That's because they have more data resources, all dealing with images, actions, special effects, and the normal operation of the system. Speaking of which, the system development of the game is much simpler than the development of the operating system.

The operating system needs to consider hardware compatibility, program compatibility, diverse office and personal environments, and the combination of software and hardware for network access.

These things are based on the underlying architecture of the operating system.

The game is an upper-level program based on the operating system framework.

After all, a game is also a kind of software, which has the foundation of an operating system. As long as it is compatible with the system, it can be directly debugged and operated.

Of course, this is not to say that game development is easy.

Just compared to the operating system, the development of the operating system is definitely more difficult.

Therefore, the manpower, time and various resources consumed are very, very large.

If there is no such background support, and even a quarter of the system has not been perfected, the company will fall into a financial deficit because it has burned out its funds. It will either sell the company or declare bankruptcy.

Therefore, playing with the operating system and playing with the hardware facilities is not something that can be immediately realized by just having an idea.

The amount of money spent is an unimaginable amount.

It is also for these reasons that too much time and resources are wasted, and the time is too long.

Under such circumstances, in the entire Dragon Kingdom at that time, there were not many powerful rich people, or those technical geniuses, code geniuses were enough to support this super money-burning and super-profitable industry.

Therefore, some foreign manufacturers find opportunities to invade the domestic market.

The fact that the header can be made and sold is a very good situation, in order to compete with those foreign manufacturers, and to firmly control the domestic market in the hands of the Chinese.

This is similar to the original intention of Chen Fan to open the Red Star operating system.

However, the current box company is not a particularly large company, with an annual shipment of three or four million units, and the hardware facilities are not particularly strong, so Chen Fan has a chance to eat it.

Once you have your own hardware manufacturer, upgrades of hard disks, screens, core chips, CPU motherboards, memory, and a series of material upgrades can be put on the agenda directly, and he has some memories of the future, and can even play a role in Reduce the price of hardware facilities in the market.
