Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

In the following days, Wujiang Group launched a lawsuit, expressing dissatisfaction with the anti-dumping investigation results. The cost of the Imagine typewriter was less than 3000 yuan, and the price in the United States was 2000 US dollars, which was almost 5000 yuan when converted into RMB. Wujiang Group’s profit was one to two thousand yuan. So much so that the profit margin is even as high as 50%, which is obviously not low-price dumping.

If this is also low-price dumping, then all products with a profit of less than 50% are also dumping?

At present, Wujiang has also formed its own team of lawyers, just to fight lawsuits. In a few years, the typewriter market will be in recession, and it will not matter even if they lose the lawsuit in the end.

Typewriters will also decline in the Chinese market in the early 90s.

Therefore, Zhao Ye has decided to take precautions at this time.

Today, he summoned all the engineers within the company.

Before developing his own brand of computers, Zhao Ye decided to start by developing motherboards. Computer motherboards are less difficult than chips and operating systems.

You can refer to ASUS for this.

When ASUS was founded, it developed computer motherboards and then ASUS computers.

Step by step, everything will come naturally.

In addition, it is more advantageous for the current Wujiang Group to develop motherboards first, because Wujiang Group is the agent of IBM-PC and HP computers. As long as the motherboard products developed by Wujiang Group are of high quality and low price, then IBM and The possibility of HP purchasing is very high.

IBM-PC has always been the industry standard in the computer field.

As long as IBM-PC purchases Wujiang motherboards, there is no doubt that other computer brands will also choose Wujiang motherboards.

In addition, Wujiang can independently design, develop and produce products with lower technical content such as mice, keyboards and power supplies.

Displays, chips, and operating systems are difficult problems for Wujiang Group to overcome.

Fortunately, it is now 1984. Although China lags behind in all aspects, the gap is not big.

For example, in the 1965s, our country began to develop lithography machines, which are equipment for chip production. At that time, ASML, the Dutch lithography machine production giant, had not yet been established. In 65, the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed the Model 1970 contact lithography machine. In the 1972s, the Chinese Academy of Sciences began to develop computer-assisted photolithography mask technology. In 1980, Wuhan Radio Component No. 3 Factory compiled industry production guidance "Manufacturing of Photolithography Masks." In 1981, Tsinghua University successfully developed the fourth-generation laser, with photolithography accuracy reaching 3 microns, which was close to the international mainstream level. In 1985, the JKG-101 photolithography machine developed by Shanghai Optical Machinery Factory passed the appraisal and design. The 4800th Institute successfully developed the BG- stepper lithography machine in and passed the technical appraisal. Its performance indicators are close to the level of the DSW system of the American GCA Company.

This is the best time for China's semiconductor field to catch up with the United States. Unfortunately, in the mid-to-late 80s, major scientific research institutions lacked funds, and companies were eager for success. "Buying is worse than building, and renting is worse than buying." They were unwilling to put in the effort to do it. development, so that China's semiconductor technology lags far behind Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea, and is often threatened by others.

The development of China's semiconductors is not a matter of one person. Even Zhao Ye, who was reborn, found it very difficult.

The rise of the entire semiconductor industry chain requires strong support from the state and close cooperation among various industries.

Zhao Ye drew a simple tree structure diagram on the blackboard in the conference room.

The top is the computer, and below from left to right are the computer system, CPU, motherboard, memory module, hard drive, monitor, keyboard, mouse, power supply and other major computer components.

"We want to develop our own computer brand. The following rows are all the difficulties we need to overcome. In order to obtain the greatest benefits, it is best for us to design and produce the entire set of computer software and hardware ourselves! Of course, everything must be done step by step. I It does not require that all major computer components must be developed at once, which is unrealistic."

"At present, due to limited funds and technical talents, we should have a focus when developing products."

"The operating system and CPU of a computer are the two most difficult and important parts of a computer. They are also the core competitiveness of computer brands. Wujiang Group must invest heavily in research!"

"The motherboard is the carrier of major accessories such as CPU, memory, and hardware. The quality of the motherboard directly affects whether the platform can run efficiently and stably, so the motherboard is very important.

Moreover, motherboards have relatively high technical requirements. A good motherboard can enhance the performance of the computer and thus be highly competitive.

The key is that our Wujiang Group is capable of developing motherboards. We have accumulated a lot of technology in developing Hanka, typewriters, and BB machines before.

Therefore, we must also invest heavily in research and development of computer motherboards! "

"As for memory sticks, hard drives, and monitors, we currently do not have the corresponding talents and technologies, so we will not develop them for the time being. We will consider them when the company grows larger."

"The technologies for keyboards, mice, and power supplies are relatively low, so some manpower and material resources can be invested in development."

"Now, let me assign tasks."

Zhao Ye paused, glanced at the crowd, and said: "Wang Jizhi will be the person in charge of the computer motherboard, and Qiu Bojun will be the person in charge of the operating system. As for the CPU, I will be responsible for the development myself. At the same time, I am still The chief engineer of the computer motherboard, operating system and CPU, responsible for the overall guidance and development of technology!"

"As for the keyboard, mouse, and power supply..."

Zhao Ye thought for a while and said, "The company needs to expand next and urgently needs more talents to join, so it must conduct a large-scale recruitment activity. Most of the new employees will join the three projects of motherboard, operating system, and CPU." , the remaining people will join the keyboard, mouse, and power supply projects..."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

There were only more than 150 technical staff present, but Zhao Ye asked them to develop so many projects, and everyone felt great pressure.

Zhao Ye then turned to look at Lu Jia, the person in charge of the digital BB machine, and said, "I saw the report that the digital BB machine has been successfully developed?"

"Yes, the samples have passed various tests and there are no problems. They are ready for mass production." Lu Jia nodded.

"That's good. Our PC project has a large investment in R&D, and we can earn back some R&D expenses through the digital BB machine!" Zhao Ye smiled, paused for a moment, and then explained to Lu Jia, "Some of the BB machine technicians Join other development projects, Mr. Lu, you will continue to lead the remaining technical staff to optimize the digital BB machine, and at the same time, consider developing the Chinese display BB machine."

The market for BB machines is huge, not just in China, but also in overseas markets.

It can be said that the BB machine is expected to become one of the flagship products of Wujiang Group. In the 1980s and 1990s, BB machines were popular all over the world and were one of the most popular electronic products at that time.

Although Zhao Ye values ​​​​PC, he will not give up BB consoles. Before the BB phone fails, Wujiang can transform in advance to develop mobile phones.

The mobile phone market will be larger than the PC market in the future.

Ten minutes later, the meeting ended.

With excitement on their faces, everyone exited the conference room one after another, talking about which development project they wanted to join.

Zhao Ye was not as relaxed as them.

The technical staff only have to concentrate on research and development, while Zhao Ye, as the boss, also has to think about how to make money, otherwise there will be no money for the project.

If you don't become a householder, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are.

Zhao Ye smiled bitterly and shook his head, and was the last one to leave the conference room.
