Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1708 The Exhibition Begins

"Mr. Duan is a big deal..." Liang Mengsong couldn't help but said.

"The Internet era is coming, and this will be a global trend. If we can't get on the bus in time, it will be difficult to catch up with the development of the times in the future." Duan Yun pondered for a while, and then said: "The newly established software company I plan to Then look for a senior expert in the software industry to manage it. If you know a suitable candidate, you can recommend it to me. In any case, we can’t get past this tide of technological development in the world. Now it can be done by investing a few million dollars In the future, I am afraid that if we invest tens of millions or billions of dollars, it may not be able to be done. The entry point must be early and timely..."

"I understand what you mean." Liang Mengsong said.

Although in Liang Mengsong's view, the Internet is indeed developing very fast, he has not personally felt the huge depth and breadth of the Internet market, and it will even become a global strategic issue, but Liang Mengsong himself still believes in Duan Yun's Foresight, since he arranged this way, Liang Mengsong could only follow through.

"As the supervisor of our branch, sometimes you don't just do your work, you also need to observe the changes in the world around you." Duan Yun glanced at Liang Mengsong, and then said: "As a manager, you must have a keen sense of smell and a sense of the overall situation." , the world is changing rapidly, and you are in the core area of ​​global technology, so you can't turn a blind eye to everything. The future development of the company needs to adapt to the times. In other words, you are a very important eye of the company. Here are I need your immediate feedback on any technological trends and changes."

"Okay." Liang Mengsong nodded, and continued: "Mr. Duan is right. People can't always walk with their heads down and not look up at the sky. I will do my best to help the group company prepare for this software research and development center."

"Very good." Duan Yun showed a satisfied smile.

Compared with the overseas R&D centers established in Germany and Hong Kong, Duan Yun’s most important thing is this American R&D center, because it has the world’s top talents and the world’s largest consumer market, so if Duan Yun wants to be in the world in the future The biggest breakthroughs in science and technology must first be successful in the United States.

That night, Duan Yun and Liang Mengsong chatted for a long time, and the main topic was still chip research and development.

At present, Liang Mengsong's main task is to assist the mainland R&D center to develop a new generation of NAND flash memory chips with a one-micron process and a capacity of 32MB.

At present, in the international market, Tianyin Group's flash memory chips are facing very strong opponents. AMD and Fujitsu are preparing to jointly launch the first 8MD NOR Flash, and Intel is also developing 16MB and 32MB Flash chips. If Tianyin Group wants to To maintain a leading position in the field of flash memory chips, it is necessary to speed up the research and development progress.

Judging from Liang Mengsong's narration, he is confident that he will develop and design a 32MB flash memory chip before the end of this year. If the development is successful and passes the test, it will definitely cause a great sensation in the world's chip field.

Because according to the development of the previous life, it was not until the end of 1993 that Intel launched 16MB and 32MB flash chips. Duan Yun's research and development progress was a full year ahead of them, which enabled Tianyin Group to firmly occupy the field of flash memory chips technology apex.

And once the 32MB flash memory chip is developed, Duan Yun can use this chip to make an SSD solid state drive with a larger capacity, thus taking another major step towards his plan to make the world's first MP1 player.

In the next two days, Duan Yun and his fellow staff began to rest and adjust the time difference, while Liang Mengsong and the employees of the American company who came to greet them brought the VCD and other products brought by Duan Yun to the exhibition site for layout and debugging.

In the 90s, the scale of the CES exhibition became larger and stronger, and the influence became stronger and stronger. Manufacturers and reporters from all over the world gathered in Las Vegas, so that all the hotels were fully booked. You can temporarily buy tents and live in the area outside the exhibition hall. The fire lights flicker at night, which is very spectacular, just like a grand bonfire party.

Three days later, as an exhibitor, Duan Yun entered the site of the summer CES exhibition in Las Vegas.

Compared with Duan Yun's participation in the previous CES conference, this CES exhibition can be described as unprecedented. The entire venue has a very large flow of people. Almost every showcase has gathered a large number of journalists and industry insiders. , In addition, there are many slim models who shuttle among them.

Since the 90s, the CES conference has become the vane of global electronic technology, digital audio technology, radio data system, portable CD player, digital satellite TV system, it is dazzling, and among them, the most eye-catching is this It is the Newton PDA produced by Apple.

This is also the last time that Apple participated in the CEO in the 90s. The Newton PDA released by Apple is the world's first device that supports handwriting recognition. At the same time, Apple also invented the term PDA because of Newton. In fact, this is the earliest handheld computer.

In later generations, this kind of handheld computer with only a simple black and white ink screen has long been eliminated. In those days, this was definitely an epoch-making product. Its functions were only some office records and simple text editing. It is definitely the first time in the history of human science and technology that the computer made in such a small size.

Telling Group has participated in the CES conference for the fourth consecutive year. I remember that when Duan Yun participated in this kind of exhibition for the first time, the platform rented by Duan Yun was very small and the location was quite remote. There could only be two receptionists inside, and the products were only The most humble and cheap subwoofer speakers and tape recorders, in the whole exhibition, except for a few reporters who were curious about the Chinese flag, almost no one cares about them.

In the following several exhibitions, although Duan Yun’s counter was getting bigger and bigger, and the technical content of the exhibited products was getting higher and higher, but it still did not attract many people’s attention. People seemed to be more interested in entertainment products. Tianyin Group The booth looked very deserted.

However, at this exhibition, the situation has changed dramatically.

In order to prepare for this exhibition, Liang Mengsong also made preparations. After repeated communication with the organizing committee, he won a relatively conspicuous position for Tianyin Group. In addition, he also spent a lot of thought on the layout of the booth. Demonstrating the excellent performance of VCD products, Liang Mengsong arranged a large screen composed of 12 color monitors in the center of the booth, and carefully selected song videos with Chinese national characteristics.

When the VCD on the booth played Wang Luobin's representative songs "Girl in Osaka Castle" and "In That Faraway Place", it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the exhibition hall...
