Chapter 2121 Dominant Power
The strong growth of Telling computer sales has made Telling Group's voice in this industry more and more powerful. Whether it is in the personal computer industry or in the software industry, as long as he wants to make any changes in this industry, there will definitely be The ability to respond to all calls.

However, Lenovo, Great Wall and other computer companies, faced with the huge competitive pressure of Tianyin Group, they also had to find another way. A small piece of the purchased cake was allocated, although it was far from being able to match the sales volume of Tianyin Computer, but at least it could barely maintain it.

Chinese people always like to play some dirty tricks when doing business. Since they can’t compete with you, they will try their best to tear you down. Faced with the strong advantages of Tianyin Group, Lenovo, Great Wall and other computer companies can only choose to hold together for warmth. On the one hand, it is spending money to deliberately smear the "shady" computer of Tianyin Group through the media; Seeking government pressure on Tianyin Group and forcing him to share part of the order.

Moreover, in order to strengthen the government's computer procurement orders, Lenovo and other companies had to join in the promotion of domestic operating systems. They pre-installed domestic operating systems in new models, but due to machine performance problems, they could only install the earliest operating systems. The initial version, the new version cannot run smoothly at all. In desperation, they can only invest a large number of brick-built R&D technicians to make some improvements to the domestic operating system, and castrate some Only in this way can the machine run the domestic operating system smoothly.

While other domestic computer companies are busy with public relations and price reduction promotions, Duan Yun started the second step of his domestic computer layout, which is to continue to consolidate and strengthen the establishment of domestic software alliances.

In fact, the core purpose of the domestic software alliance established by Duan Yun is not only software technology innovation, but also a very important point, that is, how to establish an atmosphere of genuine software in China, so that Chinese people can accept the software charging model.

In the early years of reform and opening up, it was like a behemoth running wildly. After more than ten years of development, the domestic economy has indeed grown by leaps and bounds. However, such achievements cannot conceal some existing problems and mistakes. One of them is the lack of awareness of copyright among Chinese people.

For China in the early years, the country was poor and weak, the people’s income level was low, and the low cost of pursuing the doctrine of borrowing was indeed conducive to short-term development. However, after a long time, this method seemed to have insufficient stamina, and the copyright awareness was weak. It is very fatal for creators. It is conceivable that many software and hardware companies have spent a lot of time, manpower, material and financial resources to develop technologies and products that are copied or directly taken away by others, and the legal protection is not in place. Cracking down on technology research and development companies is fatal. Once it hits the creative enthusiasm of technicians, the output and return will not be proportional, which will eventually lead to the closure of many technology companies. If things go on like this, it will affect the technological innovation of the entire country.

So throughout the eighties and 90s, it was actually very difficult for China's high-tech companies to rise. It is not that China has no innovative talents, nor does it invest in the bosses of technology companies, but in this environment where piracy is rampant, it is simply impossible. Companies such as Google, Microsoft, and Amazon were born because there is no good soil for survival.

Even Huawei, ZTE, and Lenovo, which are well-known domestic high-tech companies, were able to achieve such great glory in their previous lives, in fact, they could not do without government subsidies. too far.

In fact, the country's high-level leaders are also very familiar with the dilemma and current situation of domestic technology companies, but in a market economy environment, the government cannot directly intervene in the development of private enterprises, and there are many domestic technology companies, and it is impossible to provide subsidies for all of them. Therefore, when a private enterprise shows certain strength and huge potential, it will attract the attention of the state and receive corresponding support and protection.

In the late 90s in the previous life, a letter signed by Wei Hua was sent to all Huawei customers in a huge volume of more than 3000 letters.

The false accusation letter stated that Huawei was insolvent and defaulted on bank loans, employee wages, and customer loans of tens of billions. This is because Huawei’s customers are all heavy, and they dare not do business with Huawei lightly. For several months, Huawei made an order Did not get it either.

After such a problem arose, Ren Zhengfei had no choice but to write to Li Zibin, then deputy secretary of the SZ Municipal Committee and mayor of SZ, for help.

Mayor Li Zibin decided to have an interview with Rendezvous locally, and instructed that "we will continue to support the development of Huawei with firm power, so that this pearl will shine in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and China's communications field, and win glory for Shenzhen. Win glory for the great motherland .”

Later, the chairman of the board of directors made a special trip to Beijing to meet the superiors in person because of the Huawei matter. He concluded that since the letter was not addressed to the superiors, but to Huawei's customers, it meant that it was a false accusation letter sent out of vicious market competition.

Afterwards, the superior leaders instructed that the National Audit Office took the lead in organizing relevant departments to audit Huawei. After the National Audit Office’s report was released, Huawei’s orders were filled immediately, and Huawei escaped without a hitch.

Moreover, in the following years, Huawei also received several national scientific and technological innovation funds, with a total amount of more than 4000 million yuan. This is due to the support of the national government and strong financial support, which made Huawei have the glory behind .

It can be said that although they have entered the market economy in the 90s, those technology companies with relatively large scale and better development still have to eat "government food" more or less, and those software technology companies that rely purely on the civilian market must never Most of them have died and died out. It can be seen that at least in the 90s, the development and leadership of domestic technology companies were still in the hands of the national government. It is also a fact that it is difficult for small companies without connections and resources behind them to develop.

Duan Yun established this software alliance. On the surface, it is a business alliance, but in fact it is also a kind of concentration and integration of resources. The core enterprises of the alliance all have a certain amount of funds and connections. In addition, they also need to concentrate. Establish a legal rights protection system. As early as the establishment of the alliance, the alliance has jointly formed a legal team of lawyers to deal with various software piracy and infringement matters.

And Duan Yun came to BJ this time, in fact, to strengthen the joint legal team.
