At this stage, all countries are actively promoting the popularization of computers for the general public, that is, personal computers. The difference is that depending on the strength of the country, there are differences in the degree of action.

There is no doubt that the performance of the United States is the best, and it has directly reacted to promoting economic development, thus adding a lot of luster to the policies of the Reagan administration.

The situation in Asia is quite special. Due to the different writing systems, the informatization of Chinese characters has encountered a challenge that cannot be ignored in terms of technical realization. After all, since the product is positioned as a computer for the general public, language localization must be supported.

In view of the limitations of the existing cpu computing speed and memory capacity, Chinese character informatization cannot be realized by pure software, and must rely on hardware, that is, Chinese cards.

It is because of this threshold that the Fangyuan personal computer equipped with Tangma Chinese card has quickly squeezed out other types of personal computers from this market, even including the developed series of personal computers of Japanese origin.

The smoke of the North American PC market war has directly spread to the European market. Many PC brands that cannot gain a foothold in the North American market, including cheap PCs such as Commodore and Texas Instruments, have all set their sights on the European market, resulting in low-end products here. The 8-bit personal computer is very popular.

However, due to the blockade of the West, the Soviet Union has become a marginal player in this world trend of personal computers, and only Western European countries have kept up with the pace of the times.

However, with Fangyuan PC, ibm-, and Apple Computer, the main forces fighting in the North American market, they also came to the European market to stir up trouble, and the local brands of PCs in European countries disappeared one after another, and the British side resisted a little. Power.

However, when the scandal of the Uncle of the Country host Jimmy Savile in the United Kingdom was revealed, the credibility suffered a very serious crisis, which led to the questioning of the rationality of the funds used for the personal computer education program. Xun was defeated and completely gave way to Fangyuan PC.

Here in France. After François Mitterrand became the fourth president of the Fifth Republic in 1981, he implemented a series of socialist policies, including expanding paid holidays, reducing statutory working hours, nationalizing some private enterprises, Increased social security fees, etc.; but due to the continued deterioration of the economic situation, they turned to cut public expenditures. Tend to libertarianism. ?.??`c?om

Although there have been a series of economic problems at the economic level since Francois Mitterrand came to power, the public information technology plan he started, and the achievements in publicizing the popularization of computers are still quite remarkable, attracting all kinds of people in the technical field. Academic experts come to participate.

There are many famous people among them, such as the two masters of computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology: Marvin Minsky, known as the father of artificial intelligence, and Nicholas Negroponte.

Tang Huan's method of participation is of course a very realistic business cooperation. At this time, France, no matter how poor it is, is many times richer than China.

Like the stop in the UK, Tang Huan did not show up at Deng Lijun's public concert in Paris, but took this opportunity to visit Fangyuan Computer's operating results in France. Its outstanding performance in the field of education is nothing new. Instead, it was beginning to emerge, which aroused his great interest.

It belongs to the national network established by France itself. It is the abbreviation of \\' in French, and the corresponding English is , that is, digital telephone interactive media information.

As the name suggests, it is an online service built on the telephone network. In 1978, it was put into trial operation in the Brittany region of France, and it was officially launched in 1982.

You know, in the original time and space, it was the pioneer of Internet applications in France, at its most glorious time. The installation volume of terminal equipment in France has reached 10,000 units, and the number of users is 10,000.

For this reason, the then French President Jacques Chirac proudly praised: The bakers in the town of Aubervilliers in northern France know very well how to check his account. Can this kind of thing happen to the bakers in New York?

It was so successful that it even hindered the development of the French Internet. This situation is the same as that of Western European countries at this stage. Isdn, which must be upgraded from the entire infrastructure, is the future. In the end, it was discovered that there is a better technical solution that can be upgraded on the existing network-temporarily advanced, leading to another comment that I don’t know should be commented as Right or wrong fork in the road.

In fact, in addition to being a scientific and technological project, it has also been given political meaning. It's the same as France keeps aloof from NATO to show its status as a great power.

Because of this, France Telecom is responsible for the operation, and the funds come from the support of the French government. This is similar to the Pacific Online created by Tang Huan in the United States. Driven by commercial companies is very different. ?.?`

Regardless of the differences between the two, it is a delicious big cake. France, which wants to maintain technology, can only build barriers on the back-end network equipment, and the front-end that users contact, that is, various smart terminals, it cannot monopolize. Facing powerful personal computers, French companies simply cannot resistance.

Due to the agreement with Apple, the 8-bit first-generation Fangyuan computer cannot be sold in the United States, so it found a place to use in Asia and Europe. After the 16-bit second-generation Fangyuan computer was launched, it became the most popular among French users. terminal.

The fundamental reason for this is that Fangyuan Computer Co., Ltd. has launched a model suitable for the French through the cooperation with the Olympus Group, a localized business partner in Europe. Although the price is a little more expensive, as a complete Personal computers, powerful enough to make users willing to pay the price.

This Fangyuan personal computer first supports international languages, including Western European alphabets such as French with extra accents. All have been perfectly realized by computer informationization; secondly, all online services are supported, such as train ticket booking, stock inquiry, e-mail and other online services; finally, more general-purpose personal computers other than proprietary terminals are also supported Features.

It is precisely because of this kind of crushing that Fangyuan Computer has easily won more than half of the terminal share, and the future growth is more optimistic.

In fact. The trend of Fangyuan personal computers to replace traditional terminals has always been fierce. In addition to such national networks for the general public, various giant manufacturing companies, including automobile manufacturers, are also implementing proprietary networks with e-commerce functions in order to reduce the cost of supply chains.

Media Asia TV's predecessor, Lai's TV, and its parent company, Lai's Yingsheng. At the time when Tang Huan wanted to buy Li's TV, he extended his diversified business tentacles into such e-commerce fields.

In the beginning, the terminals it promoted were variants of TVs equipped with computer chips, but now they all use specific models of Fangyuan personal computers.

The sales volume of the Fangyuan personal computer produced by Fangyuan alone will easily exceed 10,000 units this year, and the strong contributors include these specific terminal fields.

What made Tang Huan drool the most was that due to his excellent performance since he started serving, European countries such as West Germany, Belgium, and Italy have also moved their minds.

During the visit, Tang Huan noticed a very obvious point, the online services provided. Its own America Online has it; some online services provided by America Online do not.

Why? That's because the French-origin background server is not powerful enough.

In this way, Tang Huan has the opportunity to provide a package of solutions including front-end terminals and back-end equipment for those countries that are trying to follow suit.

...

Accompanied by French government officials, France Telecom executives and a group of people, after the visit, Tang Huan attended the solo concert held by the wife of the French President, Danielle Mitterrand, for Deng Lijun at the Elysee Palace. François Mitterrand was also there.

The romance of the French is world-renowned, and some dignitaries and celebrities, including François Mitterrand, all have dark love affairs in secret.

Therefore, Tang Huan reminded Deng Lijun in a joking tone before. Be careful of being harassed.

Deng Lijun, who has been to Paris several times, does not take it seriously. Compared with the impression that she was frightened by the bad security situation when she hid in the United States after the passport incident, she obviously feels better about the artistic background displayed here and there.

Just like Tang Huan said. Deng Lijun's demeanor at the concert attracted the fascination of the French people in the audience.

At the end of the concert, when it was time to thank you, a few French men who thought they were handsome, kissed hands graciously, and Tang Huan was a little tired of watching.

It is different from Nancy, the first lady of the United States, who concentrates on assisting her husband Reagan and being a good wife. Danielle Mitterrand, the first lady of France, did not stay in the Elysee Palace honestly and lived a pampered life, but actively participated in social activities and was a senior social activist.

When Danielle Mitterrand visited Tang Huan's semiconductor factory fab1 in France, he repeatedly asked the workers there about their salaries, benefits, vacations, etc., even to the point where it annoyed the boss. She acts out of style.

François Mitterrand is the first democratically elected left-wing president of France. His wife, Danielle Mitterrand, is a long-term supporter of Cuba. Unique.

Therefore, another point that Tang Huan reminded Deng Lijun in advance is that we and each other are only for mutual benefit and each takes what we need, and we must pay attention to keeping a distance in personal relationships.

This reminder was actually listened to by Deng Lijun, but some accidents were hard to guard against.

When Danielle Mitterrand handed over a commemorative medal for cultural exchanges to Deng Lijun, she said in public: Teresa, I heard that you have been enthusiastic about charity and concerned about children's education in underdeveloped areas. Recently I'm going to visit Africa, why don't you go along with me.

Deng Lijun happily nodded and agreed to the invitation from the first lady of France, but Tang Huan, who was at the side, showed displeasure.

At that time, he didn't have much to say, so he had to say to Deng Lijun afterwards: This invitation, find an excuse to decline.

Nothing? This is an invitation from the president's wife. Deng Lijun was a little puzzled, Besides, I am still serving as a goodwill ambassador with UNICEF, so I should care more about such activities.

Africa is more chaotic, I really don't know it. Tang Huan explained with a sigh.

Is it dangerous to stay with the President's wife? Deng Lijun smiled sweetly, turned her head to comfort Tang Huan, and finally spoke her mind.

After the concert in Paris, there is only one stop in Baodao left on my world tour. If you can win the opportunity to hold a concert in mainland China, then there are two stops left.

But no matter what, after the trip in Paris is over, I will definitely return to my hometown and return to Treasure Island, and then I will inevitably cooperate with official arrangements to attend various public events.

Tang Huan interrupted in a muffled voice: I have reached an agreement with Mr. Jiang, you can refuse these interruptions.

Deng Lijun smiled wryly, You just won the treatment for me without being forced, but you can't stop people from being so sophisticated. After all, my family still lives in Baodao. Now that I have the invitation from the wife of the French president, I can openly and honestly Quiet for a while, and wait for the preparations for the Treasure Island concert to be completed, then go back and start singing directly.

Tang Huan was speechless for a while, just when he was looking for other reasons to dissuade, Corina Menzelpoulos, the hostess of Château Margaux, invited Christina and Deng Lijun to go on vacation and left Paris .

In less than a week, the Los Angeles Olympic Games was about to start, and Tang Huan was waiting for a series of promotional activities in San Francisco, so he had no choice but to shake his head and return to the United States on Silicon Valley One. (To be continued.)
