Countercurrent 1982

After the plane landed in BJ, my younger sister Duan Fang had already been waiting there, and several senior executives from the BJ branch came to pick me up at the same time.

And that night, Duan Yun and Ni Guangnan lived in his courtyard in BJ. The two ate hot pot, drank wine, and talked about work.

BJ in December is already very cold, but the room in the courtyard is very warm. It is definitely a very good enjoyment to eat hot-boiled lamb in this season.

Speaking of which, Duan Yun and Ni Guangnan have known each other for many years, but they seldom sit and drink together. On the one hand, it is because Ni Guangnan is not good at socializing and communication. On the other hand, there is a difference of nearly 30 years between the two. There are still some generation gaps.

However, when it comes to work and technology, these two people are extremely hot, especially when Ni Guangnan talked about the new product that he presided over the research and development recently, he seemed very excited.

"Although with the strength of our group company, we can't make the world's top chips, but in terms of chip design, I don't think we will lose to the Americans." Confidently said: "Before I came to Tianyin Group, I really didn't know that our domestic private enterprises are so powerful and can produce world-class chips. Speaking of which, Mr. Duan, you are really amazing. It was possible to start the layout many years ago, and this is the reason for today's good situation. I really admire this vision and courage. I have known many entrepreneurial bosses in the technology industry in China before, and none of them are as powerful as you. courage..."

"It goes without saying if you praise me." Duan Yun smiled after hearing the words, and then said: "Mr. Ni, in fact, we people who are engaged in technology, don't think that I am just a businessman when I start a company. More than ten years ago, I was a technician in the factory, and I relied on technology research and development for a living. I was responsible for the research and development of a gearbox that year and won the National Gold Medal. It’s just that I am an idealist, but I want to There are too many restrictions in the system, so I embarked on the road of starting a business, but if the unit I worked for gave me more freedom and financial support, I am afraid I would not choose to start my own business..."

"I can fully understand this." Ni Guangnan nodded with a smile when he heard the words, and continued: "Actually, we people who engage in technology are basically idealists, and I am no exception. I have experienced some things over the years that made me I saw a lot of things clearly and realized some of my shortcomings, just like when I was working in Lenovo before, I never thought of leaving that company, but then I still..."

"There is no need to mention the past, only like-minded people can walk together for a long time." Duan Yun said.

"You're right, if you don't have a like-minded activity partner, it's difficult to make a career together, and he will greatly consume your energy and make you waste a lot of time on things that shouldn't be wasted. Sometimes it will make you exhausted." When Ni Guangnan said this, he sighed lightly, and then said: "Okay, everything is over now, and I have stayed in our company very well, and now I am full of energy every day. , have never been so comfortable."

Ni Guangnan and Duan Yun expressed their true feelings, and it can be seen from this that the experience in Lenovo back then hurt Ni Guangnan a lot.

Like Duan Yun, Ni Guangnan is also an idealist, but he does not have Duan Yun's foresight and entrepreneurial ability, so sometimes he can only rely on others to research and develop products and technologies, and he has no initiative.

But when it came to Duan Yun, Ni Guangnan really let go of his hands and feet. Duan Yun gave him a lot of authority, and he also had enough financial support. In addition, the company itself has the most powerful talent and technology accumulation in China, allowing Ni Guangnan to truly With the feeling of fish swimming in the sea.

However, the experience in Lenovo also made Ni Guangnan understand some things. In any case, Tianyin Group is a private enterprise. He got the highest salary in the whole company, and his net worth has already exceeded [-] million in a few years, so he must return ten times or even a hundred times to the company.

It is precisely because of this that Ni Guangnan attaches great importance to the company's PC project. His project may have his own disciples in charge. Only in the personal computer project, Ni Guangnan is personally involved. The Tianyin 2400 that Tianyin Group has just developed , is actually his brainchild.

"If you help me, I will definitely help you too. The two of us have achieved each other." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: "About our new laptop computer, I think there are still many things to improve, that is, the weight and price. It’s still too high. In fact, many domestic users who use notebooks only need to process some simple documents and data, and occasionally play some simple games, so there is no need to upgrade the configuration to such a high level, and the price is best. It can be within [-] yuan, which can further enhance the competitiveness of our products."

"I understand this. I am also organizing technicians to develop mid-to-low-end notebooks to meet the needs of different users." Ni Guangnan thought for a while, and then said: "But I always feel that launching this notebook is a good way to show our group. The opportunity of the company's strength, although high-end notebooks are expensive, but they have high performance, can meet the needs of most people, and can be used for many years..."

"Hehe, you are too underestimating the speed of laptop replacement." Duan Yun smiled, and then said: "High-end laptops can be developed, but they can only be mass-produced in small batches. Notebooks are like the automobile industry that our group is currently engaged in. Everyone knows that Volvo cars are high-end and have good performance, but most people buy some entry-level mini cars. High-end products do not necessarily make money. Only the cost-effective products that some consumers demand can sell well for a long time, and I must remind you of this."

"Eh." Hearing this, Ni Guangnan nodded.

"All in all, at the beginning of next year, I hope you can make a low-end notebook computer with a price of around 9000 yuan, and it must be beautiful in appearance, light in weight, and durable. In terms of performance, it must be compatible with our domestic operation in terms of hardware The system can run all kinds of domestic genuine software smoothly, which is the minimum requirement." Duan Yun said.
