I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 74 IBM's Recognition

On the third day, there was no sign of Yang Guanbin at the booth of Eternal Technology.

Others cast their eyes outside from time to time, looking forward to it.

Among them, including reporter Huang Zhifan, after learning that the person in charge of IBM will come to the booth, he has been staying here today.

"I'm coming!"

Suddenly, Ren Xiaowen shouted excitedly.

Lin Xiao and others followed Ren Xiaowen's shout and saw Yang Guanbin walking towards here with several foreigners.

This should be someone from IBM. Seeing this, several people from Eternal Technology were all refreshed.

"George, this is our Eternal Technology booth."

Yang Guanbin brought a few people to the booth, and said to the leading white man.

George Cavill, vice president of IBM, Yang Guanbin and Lin Xiao and others introduced the name of the person in charge of IBM's trip before.

So when Yang Guanbin called his name, Lin Xiao and the others took their seats and knew the other party's identity.

George Cavill was about the same age as Yang Guanbin, but he was taller. He stopped in front of the booth of Eternal Technology, and he read the promotional slogan of Eternal Technology.

"U disk, overturning the floppy drive - making the computer thinner and lighter!"

George Cavill turned his head to look at Yang Guanbin, and asked with some surprise:
"An interesting idea, Yang, have you really developed a mobile storage based on flash memory?"

Lin Xiao immediately took out an unpackaged USB flash drive and handed it over. Yang Guanbin took it and said to George Cavill:
"Yes, George, this is our product."

George Cavill took the USB flash drive, looked at it curiously, and then pointed to another slogan on the wall of Ancient Technology, "Take your computer with the 'keychain'" and asked:

"It's very small, what's its capacity?"

For some unknown reason, George Cavill didn't ask Yang Guanbin, but asked Lin Xiao.

Although it was different from the previous expectation that Yang Guanbin would introduce the whole process, Lin Xiao quickly reacted.

While picking up the eleven 1.44MB floppy disks that were put aside, Lin Xiao replied:

"16MB, roughly equivalent to the capacity of 11 floppy disks."

The crazy practice of oral English during this period came in handy at this time, and Lin Xiao spoke very fluently.

George Cavill looked at the USB flash drive in his hand, and then at the thick stack of floppy disks in Lin Xiao's hand. The contrast between the two was very obvious, and the interest in his eyes became more intense.

Just like what Lin Xiao thought before, they are all people in the industry after all, as long as they are willing to understand, they will be able to discover the benefits of USB flash drives.

"In addition to portability, compared with floppy disks, U disks have many advantages."

Lin Xiao put down the floppy disk in his hand, picked up another USB flash drive, and threw it into the air.

The U disk was thrown to a height of more than three meters, and then fell to the ground with a "click".

The U disk with the metal case was intact, but Lin Xiao didn't let it go. He stepped forward and stomped heavily on the U disk, not forgetting to step on it hard back and forth a few times.

Moving his foot away, Lin Xiao picked up the USB flash drive again, then handed it to George Cavill and said:
"Look, it doesn't have any damage, oh, sorry, I didn't say that accurately, after all, the outer shell has scratched a bit."

"I like your humor." George - Cavill smiled.

Lin Xiao also laughed, and continued: "I don't think the floppy disk needs to go through this kind of test anymore. Everyone knows that if you do this, it will be scrapped."

George Cavill took the USB flash drive from Lin Xiao with great interest.

"Can I try it on a computer?"

"Of course!"

Lin Xiao answered, and then led the other party to the laptop in the booth.

"Dude, you're using an IBM computer."

Coming to the computer, George Cavill smiled and pointed to the logo on the computer.

"Yes, IBM is the leader in computing."

Lin Xiaoshun boasted, and George Cavill laughed even happier. After all, no one doesn't like to hear good things.

"Just plug the U disk into the USB port, and then it can be used normally."

As Lin Xiao said, George Cavill immediately inserted the USB flash drive that Lin Xiao had dropped and trampled into the computer.

At this time, Lin Xiao didn't speak any more.

He felt that letting George Cavill experience the U-disk as a first-time user without any introduction or explanation would allow the other party to have a clearer understanding of the convenience of the U-disk.

After Lin Xiao did not speak, George Cavill turned on the explanation mode by himself. He looked at the bottom right corner of the computer indicating that the driver was being installed, and immediately said:
"You guys have your own drivers in this little thing."

"Yes." Lin Xiao replied.

Soon, the computer prompts that the driver has been installed, and the USB flash drive can be used normally.

George Cavill habitually opened "My Computer", and when he saw a removable storage disk displayed inside, he clicked it immediately.

Then, he began to use the mouse to do a series of operations such as copying, pasting, and creating files, which were naturally successful without exception.

Finally, George Cavill stopped operating. He straightened up and said to Lin Xiao, Yang Guanbin and others in surprise and surprise:

"It's a great invention, so that means our future computers, especially laptops, won't need a floppy drive?"

"Yes, if it is used with a USB flash drive and the floppy drive is removed, our laptop will be thinner and lighter." Lin Xiao replied.

As he said that, Lin Xiao winked at Yang Guanbin. The next step was to persuade George Cavill to cooperate with Eternal Technology. It was obviously more appropriate for Yang Guanbin to talk.

After receiving Lin Xiao's signal, Yang Guanbin immediately said:
"George, how to make the notebook run more smoothly, with larger capacity, but thinner and lighter, this is something that various manufacturers are doing, and the U disk can help the notebook computer to achieve this goal faster and better, just like you just now As I said, using a USB flash drive, future notebooks will no longer need to be equipped with a floppy drive."

"There are also technical updates." Tang Xingchang suddenly interjected from the side at this time.

"Floppy disk technology has not improved over the years, and it is impossible to make a larger capacity."

"But according to Moore's Law, the performance of a computer can double every 18 months, and our U disk uses a flash memory chip, which is also applicable to Moore's Law, which means that the U disk can completely keep up with the speed of the computer." Improved performance."

George Cavill nodded. Working at IBM, he naturally knows Moore's Law.

Picking up the USB flash drive again, George Cavill gave a thumbs up to Lin Xiao and the others, and said with sincere admiration:

"I'll say it again, it's a great idea, flash memory for storage, USB for connectivity, we all knew that before this, but no one ever thought of connecting them together."

As he said that, George Cavill smiled at Yang Guanbin and said, "Yang, I want to take a hundred copies back to the company for other managers and technicians in the company to use. Maybe we can really try to develop a pen without a floppy drive. It's a computer."

Become!

Hearing George Cavill's words, the eyes of Lin Xiao and others showed joy, and Yang Guanbin quickly replied:

"Of course no problem, we'll be ready right away."

The USB flash drive was ready-made, and Ren Xiaowen and the others counted the packaged USB flash drives as quickly as possible, and then handed them over to George Cavill and others.

"George, I am waiting for your good news."

Sending the IBM team outside the booth, Yang Guanbin meant something.

George Cavill immediately smiled and said, "Yang, I have a hunch that the opportunity for us to cooperate again is not far away."

"I'm looking forward to that day!"
