Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1473 Take the initiative
"Mr. Duan, I think that if our company really wants to sell products, we can only take some low-end routes for the time being, such as producing some cheap single-chip microcomputers..." On the first day of the exhibition, near the end of the exhibition in the afternoon, seeing the particles No success, Liang Mengsong said to Duan Yun: "The USB developed by our company is indeed a very good technology, but judging from the current situation, it is a big problem to promote it, and MS-DOS, which is widely used in the world, is not It's not this kind of socket, we need to add our protocol software..."

Liang Mengsong is a very practical person. He knows that the USB developed by Duan Yun is indeed an epoch-making revolutionary product. However, in the current international PC industry, the formulation of any new technology and standard requires the cooperation of the entire industry. And support, it is very difficult for a single company to promote technology to the entire industry.

USB was first designed by the Manufacturers Alliance, which was established in 1996 to standardize the connection between computers and peripheral devices. The members of the alliance include IBM, Intel, Apple, NEC and other world-renowned manufacturers.

Prior to this, all ports of PC computers were developed and formulated by the International Electronics Industry Association, and the members of this Electronics Industry Association also include major PC computer manufacturers in the world. No company has ever independently formulated such technical standards.

Before USB was born, there were many sockets for PC hosts, including PS2, VGA, DVA, PCI, PCMCIA, Exprs Card, 1394 and other sockets.

These traditional interfaces still appear on the vast majority of computer hosts in later generations. However, there are more and more USB sockets on computers in later generations, and it is only a matter of time before they finally replace other sockets.

In fact, before the emergence of USB, IBM has developed the PS2 interface, which is also very small, but the PS2 interface does not support hot plugging and hot swapping. Peripherals such as the mouse and keyboard need to be connected to the interface first, and then restart the computer. Use, and the USB socket can make the mouse and keyboard plug and play, which is much more convenient.

In addition, the USB was invented mainly for mobile storage. The tapes, floppy disks and CDs used before were quickly eliminated with the emergence of high-speed serial ports such as USB.

In Duan Yun's plan, the design of USB is entirely to prepare for the development and production of mobile hard disks, MP 3, and smart phones in the future. With such a high-speed socket, data can be quickly transferred between devices, so that human beings can enter mobile age.

However, this invention is a bit avant-garde at present. Few technology companies are aware of the value of this product. It is precisely because of this that Duan Yun received a cold reception at the CES exhibition this time. Many companies came to inquire, just because of the Chinese technology companies Curiosity, and not showing enough interest.

"I'm actually betting, hoping to receive this exhibition and promote this technology to the world, but now it seems that I think things are a bit too simple." Duan Yun laughed at himself and continued: " However, I think it is only a matter of time before this technology is promoted globally, and if the next research and development plan can be completed, those big manufacturers will definitely accept this new technology by then.”

In fact, I am still very confident in the technology of USB, but some technologies and product promotion do take some time. As for the next research and development plan mentioned by Duan Yun, it actually refers to solid-state hard drives and U disks. After the development of these two products, combined with USB technology, the mobile storage technology will be greatly improved. Once the mobile storage technology matures, tapes, floppy disks and CDs will be quickly eliminated, and it will also bring huge profits to Tianyin Group.

"Actually, I think we should take the initiative. Since the Americans don't understand our company and products, we should take the initiative to promote it." At this time, Li Yun, who was following Duan Yun, suddenly interjected.

"Take the initiative? Do you have any ideas?" Duan Yun turned to look at Li Yun and asked with a smile.

For many years, Duan Yun's family and Li Guosheng's family have been very close. Before Duan Yun moved to the villa, Li Guosheng's family lived downstairs in her house. The two families often gather for dinner, so Duan Yun has always regarded Li Guosheng as Yun treats her like her own sister.

In addition, in Duan Yun's view, Li Yun is not an ordinary girl. She is not only beautiful, but also talented and capable. She is also a top talent in the company. In terms of coping, she is even wiser than Duan Yun.

"Today, many media reporters came to our exhibition for interviews, and some even invited us to record TV programs. I also know that you are more cautious, Brother Duan, but I think this is a good opportunity to promote our company's products..." Li Yun Said.

"Xiaoyun, this place is no different from domestic ones. In the face of foreign media, if you say something wrong, it may discredit the country. Even if some of your words are true, once the matter spreads to China, it will be infinitely magnified by people with ulterior motives. , do you know how much it will affect our company's fertility?" Duan Yun said with a serious face.

Duan Yun has always been very careful when dealing with foreign media. If Duan Yun says something wrong at this time, there will be unpredictable storms waiting for him.

"We only talk about products and technology, and refuse to answer all other matters. I think there should be no problem in this way." Li Yun said.

Li Yun understood Duan Yun's meaning right away. Although she admired some foreign systems and life, she also knew what to say in what place and occasion.

"I think Ms. Li is right. We really shouldn't refuse the invitation and interview of the American media. At least this is a very good opportunity for us to promote." Liang Mengsong also agreed with Li Yun's suggestion at this time.

"Then I will teach you two about the interview with the American TV station..." Duan Yun pondered for a moment, then glanced at Li Yun and asked, "Do you know about our company's products and technologies?"

Although Duan Yun is very eloquent and can handle interviews with the American media with ease, to be on the safe side, he decided not to show up and let Li Yun and Liang Mengsong deal with the American media and reporters, taking the opportunity to promote the company's products and technology.

The advantage of this is that if something is really wrong, because both of them are employees of the company, it will not have much impact on the company's reputation, and when the time comes, Duan Yun will make some positive remarks as the company's general manager. Point of view, quickly make up for the mistakes made by the two.

"I'm definitely not as proficient in technology as you and Mr. Liang, but it's no problem to introduce our company's products." Li Yun said simply.
