Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1796 Sudden Changes
Duan Yun never thought that he would be able to use his brother-in-law so soon. Although this matter is still far from being on the official car purchase list, at least he has a clue. Things need a lot of comprehensive factors in place before they can achieve their goals.

The atmosphere of the dinner that day was very good, the family was talking and laughing, the evening style in the capital was very cool, and after a few glasses of wine, Duan Yun was also very comfortable.

Speaking of which, since the divorce, Duan Yun has never been as comfortable as today. Although his wife's divorce has hurt him a lot, his mood has gradually calmed down, and he is not as depressed as before.

That night, Duan Fang and her husband Wu Zhenglong also stayed here. Speaking of which, although this courtyard house was the dowry for Duan Fang's marriage, she had never lived here before, and this was the first time she stayed here with her husband.

In fact, deciding whether a married couple is happy or not is definitely not determined by a house. Just like Duan Yun and his ex-wife Cheng Qingyan, although they lived in a very luxurious villa in Shenzhen, their relationship still faded, which eventually led to divorce, so that Duan Yun Yun now lives in a villa in Shenzhen, but his heart is empty.

He is even a little envious of his younger sister now, but his marriage has reached this point, and there is absolutely no turning back.

In the early morning of the second day, Duan Fang and his wife went to work by car early in the morning, and Duan Yun went to the China World Hotel immediately after breakfast. According to the agreement, he wanted to meet Xu Shaoqiang from Poly Company.

For a long time, Xu Shaoqiang has been the main contact person of Poly Group and Duan Yun. Although the scale of Poly Company is not large so far, the level of internal management is very high. Xu Shaoqiang himself is also a cadre at the department level. His main job is to manage Poly's subsidiaries and holding companies.

In the lobby of the hotel, Duan Yun had just finished smoking a cigarette when he saw Xu Shaoqiang in a suit and leather shoes walking into the lobby.

"President Xu!" Seeing Xu Shaoqiang, Duan Yun immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

"We meet again." Xu Shaoqiang and Duan Yun shook hands, and then they sat down facing each other.

The last time the two met was Labor Day, when Xu Shaoqiang flew to Shenzhen in person and discussed with Duan Yun about military vehicle bidding and joint research and development of domestic PC systems.

At that time, Time Cloud proposed that their Tianyin Group should contribute funds, and other domestic scientific research institutions and technology companies would contribute to set up a special domestic system software research and development project team in the Shenzhen Tianyin R&D Center, and Tianyin Group would receive the system research and development funds. dominance.

And in order to be able to take the lead smoothly, Duan Yun also issued a military order at that time. He promised to complete the research and development within one and a half years. If he failed, he would pay a fine of 1 million yuan.

In Duan Yun's commercial layout, like automobiles, the domestic computers produced by Tianyin Group are also in great need of government orders. At present, the first batch of Tianyin 1 computers have been put on the market, but the sales volume is not optimistic. We tried our best to cooperate, but the sales volume in the first half of the year was only more than 486 units, which is less than half of the Great Wall Electric's arrival last year.

The reason for this situation is that the price of the Tianyin brand 486 computer is too high, and because the costs of various aspects have not been spread out, the price of a single computer has always remained above 2 yuan, which can only make ordinary Even if people know that the Tianyin 486 computer is a good product, their wallets prevent them from supporting this new Chinese brand computer.

In fact, the sales volume of Tianyin brand computers is pretty good, and it can at least rank in the top 5 in China. Currently, Lenovo is still the computer with the largest sales volume in China, followed by Great Wall, and then products from other companies such as Founder.

A few years ago, Great Wall Computer was still the leader of domestic brands of computers. At its peak, it sold 20 units a year, but in the first half of this year, it only sold more than 4 units. The reason is also very Simple, that is, after the country gradually canceled tariffs on imported computers and related parts and components, the price advantage of Great Wall Computer was no longer there. Correspondingly, domestic companies such as Tsinghua Tongfang and Founder of Peking University took advantage of the situation to rise and challenge the dominance of Great Wall Computer. up the challenge.

In fact, whether it is Great Wall Computer or Tongfang, Founder and Lenovo, their computer brands are actually "assembled products" made of imported foreign parts. Great Wall Computer has been known as the light of domestic computers for many years. However, until now, Great Wall Computer The only self-developed components are motherboards, power supplies, expansion cards, and displays. Other chips and components need to be imported or manufactured by foreign companies.

The main reason why Lenovo became the sales leader in China and sold nearly 10 units in the first half of the year was because it obtained a large number of government procurement lists. To put it bluntly, it relied on government compradors to support sales. , This also allowed Liu Chuanzhi, who encountered Waterloo in Hong Kong, to see life again.

In fact, in the early 90s, most of the computers in China were mainly sold to government units and enterprises, and the proportion of computers owned by individuals was very small. Therefore, Duan Yun had to find another way to obtain government orders.

If Duan Yun can get the dominance of the research and development of the domestic system, it is definitely an opportunity for the Tianyin brand 486 computer to rise against the trend. However, since the last meeting on May Day, Xu Shaoqiang has not given it to him echo.

So when the two met this time, Duan Yun wanted to get the Volvo 940 sedan into the government official vehicle procurement list through Poly Company, and also wanted to inquire about the dominance of domestic computer system research and development.

"Mr. Xu, we haven't seen each other for almost two months since we parted ways in Shenzhen. I still remember that we talked about the design of domestic system development last time..." Duan Yun cut to the chase and asked Xu Shaoqiang directly.

"I originally planned to call you in the near future, but I didn't expect you to come to BJ suddenly this time." Xu Shaoqiang interrupted what he had said for many years, and then said: "The situation is like this. Regarding your research and development of domestic computer systems, I It has been reported to the superiors, and they agreed in principle, but after soliciting cooperation institutes and scientific research units, this matter may need to be reconsidered..."

"What's wrong?" Duan Yun asked with a slight frown.

"To put it bluntly, those technology companies and institutes are unwilling to send their own engineering and technical personnel to Shenzhen. They prefer to conduct joint research and development with BJ, which means that your Tianyin Group may not be able to lead the project. Right..." Xu Shaoqiang said.
